Royal Palace Gardens The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is held in different places in the palace every year, but the starting time of the banquet is the same every year, and it has never changed at all.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was organized by the crown prince in charge of various matters, so the venue of the banquet was chosen by the prince in the imperial garden Liu Qingchi Yan, but all officials above the fifth rank of the court can bring their families to attend.
In previous years, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was just a gathering of kings and courtiers to have fun, go to the old and welcome the new, and pray for a smooth wind and rain in the new year, and the national fortune will be prosperous, but this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is the biggest difference from previous years.
Every year on this day, those sons and ladies who follow their father or grandfather to the palace to attend the banquet will be dressed up, in order to show their most perfect side on this night, the effort spent on dressing up is simply impossible to estimate with money.
In the past, those young ladies showed their faces at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, at most they got some valuable rewards, but this year, at this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the emperor revealed that he wanted to marry the prince and several princes, how could this not make the officials and nobles of the entire Star Death City feel very excited.
Since the emperor wants to marry the crown prince and several princes in public, that means that there is no predetermined candidate for the crown princess and princess, so as long as they behave well at the banquet, anyone has a chance to get that position.
It's rare to have such a good opportunity in front of them, how can they not fight hard.
In addition, in view of the fact that there are quite a lot of young ladies of the right age to marry in each family, Emperor Xuan also gave a will, after determining the crown prince and the concubines of several princes, if there are men and women who look at the right eyes at the banquet, and the elders in the family are willing to marry, he, the emperor, does not mind being an old man under the moon to pull a red thread for a lover.
"The slave sees His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Get up."
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie."
"Liu Qing Chi Yan Nei is all arranged" "If you go back to Your Highness, everything inside has been arranged and arranged, and you can invite the ministers in."
"Okay, this prince will give you two more pillars of incense, from the inside to the outside, from the outside to the inside, and then carefully check and confirm this prince, and after making sure that there is no problem, I will invite all the ministers who entered the palace in advance and wandered in the imperial garden to sit inside."
Being responsible for organizing the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is a big or small matter, especially since this matter is the first thing that Emperor Xuan handed over to the prince after the crown prince was deposed, which makes it impossible for the prince to be careless and cautious, for fear that something will go wrong, and then provoke Emperor Xuan to have opinions about him and be dissatisfied with him.
For this reason, the prince almost had no time to care about his royal brothers who liked to fight with him everywhere, but he was lucky enough to let the prince avoid some dangers.
The so-called gains and losses, giving and taking, is probably what it means.
"Obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Okay, hurry up and urge to do it, if there is anything that can't come up with an idea, go back and forth to the prince."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The prince rubbed the corners of his forehead with a faint pain, his face was tightly crumbled, but he couldn't tell whether he was in a good mood, and occasionally inadvertently looked up at the eyes in the garden that conveyed his admiration and affection, and he smiled but his heart was full of irony.
It seems that even if his situation is so embarrassing now, there are still many people who are willing to bet on him, and the position of a crown princess is really so attractive to those women Thinking about it, I can't help but feel more and more ironic, and it also makes the prince lower his eyes and think more, farther and deeper.
According to the ancestral system of starting the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in previous years, ministers generally enter the palace a little earlier when they enter the palace at the beginning of the Shen Shi, and then they can enjoy and play around in the imperial garden, and wait until the end of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet officially begins.
During this period of time, it is relatively free, and the entire imperial garden is in an open state, as long as you keep the rules of the palace and do not break elsewhere, the nobles can take in all the scenery of the imperial garden in groups of three or five.
Because today is much more special than usual, therefore, there is no clear defense of men and women in the imperial garden, but both enter the palace, and they all have other thoughts, I believe that no one will make a mistake at this time, so that they will regret it for the rest of their lives.
At this time, the princes of each province are vaguely looking at the nobles who come in costume, to see if there is anything that suits their hearts, if there is, they will quietly keep it in mind, and wait for the emperor to complete the marriage for the prince and several princes, if they are lucky, they can also get the saint to marry in person, it can be said that it is not a particularly long-faced thing.
As for those noblewomen with slightly more noble statuses, the fathers in the family are ambitious, which ones have not been instructed and tasked to come, they want to fight for the position of crown princess and princess, but not to marry other princes.
The noble ladies who came with a heart of contention, not so much that their father's family had such ambitions, but that they themselves also had them, after all, their high status, glory and wealth, were not what they had been pursuing in their lives It's a pity that a group of girls have traveled to half of the imperial garden together, not to mention that none of the princes have seen each other, and even those who can marry and whose status is quite high have not been met.
This feeling, this taste, is really unspeakably uncomfortable.
It was hard to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, thinking that His Royal Highness the Prince was in charge of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, who had the courage to come up at this time who was not afraid of death Didn't you see the girl in the water pavilion next to you, and the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't come forward to salute and disturb them Although their brains are not how smart and alert they are, at least they still have the eyesight to know when they can get over and when they can't.
"Your Highness."
"Why are you so flustered?"
"If you go back to Your Highness, the Grand Master will ask the servant to present this bag to His Highness."
After taking the brocade bag handed by the little eunuch's hands, the prince took it in his hand and pinched it, and then his face became gloomy, and his body released a suffocating coldness, and the little eunuch was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head.
The prince opened the bag with an inexplicable expression, wrote down the contents of the paper in his mind, and then used his internal force to destroy the paper, only pinching the bag in his hand, and only said after a while: "Take the prince to see the prince, it just so happens that the prince also has something to say to him." ” "Yes, Yes, Your Highness."
This prince had just left from Liuqing Chiyan to see Taishi Pang, and in the water pavilion in the lake not far from here, the woman wearing a moon shadow yarn embroidered magnolia flower flying butterfly robe, with a red fine Luo palace gauze brocade and a Diluo skirt was the second lady Pang Yan of the Taishi Mansion, and she was also the eldest daughter of Pang Tong.
I saw her black and shiny black hair pulled into a delicate and lovely tassel bun, and the hair was only pinned with a hollow peony-shaped red coral inlaid with crystal pendant jade tassel of the luxurious step, and then obliquely inserted a little emerald jade short hairpin, the whole person was fresh and elegant, and the temperament was gentle as water.
Even if her dress is not luxurious and grand at a banquet like tonight, it is comfortable to look at, and it is destined to attract the hot eyes of the opposite sex around her.
However, Pang Yan's identity is not ordinary after all, and those sons and buddies who have taken a fancy to her can only swallow their saliva secretly, but they don't dare to come forward to provoke her at all, even if they just laugh a few words, they have to think carefully.
"Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left, should Miss continue to stay here or go elsewhere" Pang Yan is the prince's cousin, because of this relationship, the sons and ladies of the Taishi Mansion have not entered the palace since they were young, and this imperial garden is also quite familiar.
If it was a place to go to enjoy the scenery, Pang Yan couldn't be interested at all.
Last night, her father called her to the study and talked a lot to her, and her mother also came to find her before going to bed.
Although she understood the meaning of her grandfather and father, it did not mean that she could really accept it willingly.
Thinking about the girl from her dignified Taishi's mansion, how noble her identity is, what kind of man she wants to marry, how to marry her cousin, she can only be a side concubine and not a main concubine.
Why is this, why does she want to be subservient to others and take her as a concubine, even if she has the prince's cousin in her heart, it doesn't mean that she can withstand this humiliation.
"The banquet has not yet begun, and there is no other place to be interesting, so Miss Ben will sit here and be quiet."

Staring at the frozen lake under the water pavilion, Pang Yan hooked the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, and the expression in his eyes was indistinguishable.
She was unwilling to do anything, she would never dare or have the courage to contradict her grandfather and father, otherwise she would not have to wait for her to marry out of the cabinet, and she would immediately become an abandoned son and never be used again.
You must know that their Pang family has no shortage of daughters, and without her, Pang Yan will immediately have other women on top, and she will also appear as her Pang Yan.
Even if Pang Yan felt sad and uncomfortable in her heart, she would never dare to challenge the authority of Master Pang, unless she could really give up everything she had now.
"Miss, don't worry too much, as long as Miss firmly grasps the heart of His Royal Highness the Prince, even if there are more women in His Royal Highness the Prince's mansion, no one can go beyond Miss."
"That's it, even if Miss is not right now, it's just a matter of time, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeds, who will dare to compete with Miss for that position."
"Since Miss can't be the crown princess at present, then Miss has to make good use of His Royal Highness the Prince's guilt for Miss, so that His Royal Highness the Prince always pities Miss, even if she enters the Prince's Mansion, how dare the princess give Miss a look."
"Miss, the slave maid thinks that what she said is reasonable, the matter is a foregone conclusion, Miss Instead of thinking about those who don't, it's better to plan how to take over the real power in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion after marrying into the Prince's Mansion."
Listening to the words of the two maidservants, Pang Yan retracted his distant gaze and looked at them deeply, and after a while, he chuckled and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, Miss Ben should really think about how to go in the future to be the most beneficial to herself." ” Just now, there was a moment of effort, Pang Yan couldn't help but wonder if Pang Fei was not disliked, it was Pang Fei who entered the Prince's Mansion, and where was she going It is inevitable that the Pang clan will support the prince's cousin, and it is absolutely impossible to win over and skill other princes, and it is the best ending for her to marry into the prince's mansion, compared to marrying into other people's mansions, she should really laugh.
"It's good that Miss has figured it out."
"Hmm."
"It's just" It was rare to see a happy smile on her own young lady's face, and she was afraid that she would make the young lady unhappy by saying what was in her heart, so she hesitated for a while.
"Why, you and Keqing are both people that Miss Ben has to value, if you have anything to say to Miss Ben, you don't have to hide it and spit it out, you just have to say it to Miss Ben, even if you say it wrong, Miss Ben will be exempted from your punishment."
Listening to Pang Yan's words, her complexion changed and changed, although she was not very old, the storms she had experienced with Pang Yan in the past ten years were not small, and she could be regarded as having seen the world, and she quickly adjusted her mentality.
Ke Yan turned around and looked around, and when she was sure that no one was paying attention to the movement on the side of the water pavilion, she lifted her skirt and knelt in front of Pang Yan, and said in a respectful and somewhat worried tone: "Miss, the slave maid thinks that Miss still has to guard against someone." ” "You mean Ponphy."
Don't look at Pang Fei before he became an outcast, Pang Yan and Pang Fei are good sisters who don't talk about anything, but the real fact is that Pang Yan has been pressed by Pang Fei everywhere since she can remember, and she is obviously not bad at everything, why should she always be below Pang Fei.
If you really want to talk about the reason why Pang Fei was sent away so quickly, it was also fueled by her Pang Yan.
"It turns out that the young lady has always known in her heart, but the slave is too talkative."
Pang Yan's extremely delicate and good-looking Yuan Shan frowned slightly, and he said in a deep voice with joy and anger: "Why do you think that Miss Ben still has to guard against Pang Fei, since you said such things to Miss Ben, how can you have no reason?"
"If Miss Hui is back, even if the eldest lady becomes the abandoned son of the family, but after all, she is the son of the big house, and she is also the young lady of the Marquis of Xiaoyong, she has been cultivated and raised by the family since she was a child, how can the Taishi let her go, and let her guard the green lantern ancient Buddha if she really can't succeed."
Ke Yan, who bowed his head and knelt on the ground, looked at Pang Yan's changing face, and his heart was also bottomless, but he didn't dare to speak again.
Since the day Pang Fei was sent away, Pang Yan has never thought about letting Pang Fei come back alive, but Pang Fei is too smart and alert, her plan has not succeeded once, and the more Pang Yan later comes, the more he dares to act rashly.
She has always understood Pang Fei's temperament, if she knows that the person behind her who has always wanted her life is her, then Pang Fei will definitely come back to ask for her life at all costs and by any means.
That woman who is extremely crazy in her bones, Pang Yan didn't dare to provoke her at all.
"You're right, grandfather won't really abandon her, and she's never going to let herself be an outcast."
When the words fell, Pang Yan's eyes narrowed dangerously, and the white handkerchief was kneaded in her soft and white little hands, showing the unspeakable anger in her heart.
Since Pang Fei will definitely come back, it is absolutely impossible for her to stop it, so she can only strike first.
"Sister, sister, don't blame your sister for being ruthless."
No one knows what Pang Yan is saying in her heart, and she won't be so brainless to say it.
Bento is really Pang Fei back, she can't be a sister with her anymore, only in this way can she pave the way for her future, and it will be more convenient for her to calculate Pang Fei, isn't it If she really wants to tear her face, it won't do her any good, and Pang Yan thinks she won't do it at a loss.
And Pang Fei, who was sent away from Star Death City since leaving the Taishi Mansion, has tasted the bitterness and bitterness of the world along the way, the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and experienced several degrees of fear and despair on the verge of death, is she still the same person Between her and Pang Yan, it is still unknown who calculates whom.
"Miss, it's almost time, let's go to Liuqing Chi Yan first."
"You can get up."
"Slave Miss Xie."
"Let's go, Miss Ben not only has a tough battle to fight tonight, but there will be more tough battles to fight in the future, and since you are the right-hand man by Miss Ben's side, you should also be fully prepared."
"Please rest assured, the slaves and maids will not disappoint the young lady."
Pang Yan got up and stood up and brushed the gorgeous clothes that were slightly messed up by the wind, and her gentle gaze fell on the faces of the two maids, and then she patted the shoulders of the two of them, but without saying a word, she stepped on the lotus step and walked towards the water pavilion.
Faithfulness is not a matter of mouth, she only looks at their actual actions.
"It's all in the palace, where are you going to slip away, Daddy won't let you go to find that stinky boy."
Seeing that Concubine Mi had just entered the palace gate and wanted to slip away, Father Wen, who couldn't do this kung fu, quickly grabbed Concubine Mi's arm, if he had a little more beard, the expression would definitely be a scene-like blowing beard and staring at his eyes, which inexplicably felt quite funny.
"Uh" Concubine Mi blinked innocently when she was dragged, and was stunned for a moment before she realized who the stinky boy in her father's mouth was referring to.
Thinking that Mo Yan still hasn't been treated well by her father, she just called him a stinky boy when she opened and closed her mouth, and the corners of Concubine Mi's mouth couldn't help twitching.
"Before the banquet begins, you will follow your father's side, and you are not allowed to go anywhere else."
"Ahem, Daddy is really domineering and mighty."
"Of course, don't look at whose dad I'm in."

Concubine Mi was silent, and said in her heart: You are my father "That father, do you know that your daughter is the most impatient to deal with those ministers, and what kind of sons and ladies of theirs, you can really bear to hold your daughter so tightly" Pitifully blinked her big eyes, Concubine Mi's grievances, there is simply no pen and ink to describe one or two.
"This" "Daddy, the stinky boy in your mouth hasn't entered the palace yet, how can your daughter be so unproductive and take the initiative to find him, even if you want to find it, it can't be him who came to find your daughter."
Hearing this, Father Wen nodded approvingly, his baby daughter is very noble, even if she doesn't take the initiative, the good men in this world have to rush to her.
Looking at her father's expression of agreement and pride, Concubine Mi said that she was very sad, what kind of feeling is it to have such a dazzling daughter's father, girl, I am waiting online, I am quite anxious.
"Daddy, you just let me hide elsewhere, and when the banquet starts, how about my daughter go to Liuqing Chiyan again?"
"You promise you're not going to find that stinky boy."
"Guaranteed, 100% guaranteed."
But if Mo Yan came to her, it would be a different matter, and she would not be considered a violation.
"Go ahead, go ahead, Dad doesn't restrain you, but the palace is not our own mansion after all, you should pay attention to the places you shouldn't go to."
Hey, there is an unfathomable martial arts, what kind of feeling is it like to enter and leave the palace as if entering a no-man's land, Father Wen also said that he is in a hurry, online and so on.
"Thank you, Daddy, the concubine really loves you to death."
"Hurry up, or Daddy will regret not letting you go."
Concubine Mi hugged Daddy Wen's arm and was cute again, and when she saw the jealous Mrs.
Wen and coaxed her mother to smile like a flower, the little emotion was gone in an instant.
"There is still a period of time before the banquet starts, eldest brother may wish to meet the future sister-in-law, you are an unmarried couple who are about to have a big wedding, even if you are met and you get together, you don't dare to say anything, eldest brother, you have to take advantage of the opportunity."
"You stinky girl, you actually teased your eldest brother."
"Tut, doesn't the eldest brother want to see the future sister-in-law" Wen Shaoxuan was speechless, "" "Well, even if the eldest brother doesn't want to see the future sister-in-law, I guarantee that the future sister-in-law wants to see the eldest brother."
Wen Shaoxuan continued to silently, "" He didn't offend this little girl today, why did he rush directly at him with the muzzle of the gun, Prince Wen said that his heart was very congested, and at the same time, when he heard Concubine Mi mention that the county lord of Nanning wanted to see him and wanted to go crazy, he actually blushed and didn't say anything, it seemed that even the tips of his ears were flushed.
This really affects his image as a big brother.
Daddy Wen, Mrs.
Wen stared at Concubine Mi with blazing eyes, and she opened her mouth and was speechless, "" Did their son and daughter fall apart, why is the son's face so thin, and the daughter actually laughs at her brother in turn "Hurry up, concubine, it's terrifying for the eldest brother to get angry."
"Slip away, the third brother will help you stop it."
"Then the young lady will go first, the second brother and the third brother will be a little bigger" Concubine Mi looked at her eldest brother's handsome face that was about to turn red, and her liver trembled, and she was careful that her liver was also shaking, and she was going up with thirty-six plans.
Wen Shaoyun and Wen Shaoyu originally planned to slip away with Concubine Mi, and they also wanted to quarrel with Concubine Mi, but as soon as Concubine Mi opened her mouth, she teased her eldest brother, tsk, and they decisively coaxed it.
The baby sister's mouth is too powerful, and they said that they can't fight but are very congested, so they have no choice but to avoid it.
It's just that what does that mean, hmm, they'll have to catch Concubine Mi and ask for clarification later.
"Father."
Wen Xueying and Wen Ziling were in the same carriage, even if all the stakes Mrs.
Wen explained to them in detail, they still insisted on choosing what they believed.
Before leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Father Wen asked again in front of them, and the result made Father Wen very disappointed, and they were treated as air along the way, and they didn't exist at all.
The two of them also understood that they had annoyed Daddy Wen, and even the gags between Concubine Mi and Daddy Wen just now, and they didn't dare to get out of the carriage by pretending to be cute, so they could only stay in the carriage and listen.
"Let's go, go directly to Liuqing Chiyan."
"Yes, Dad."
Wen Shaoxuan and the three of them also ignored the existence of Wen Xueying's two sisters and respectfully followed Father Wen.
"Yes, father."
It's just a difference in title, which seems to be the biggest and most unbridgeable gap between the Wen Xueying sisters and the three Wen Shaoxuan brothers. t1706231537:
