Chapter 25 Going to the banquet

After a cloud and rain, Beichen Yeli and Hu Yimeng estimated the time, got up, dressed neatly, and sat down together to go to the banquet of the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace.

When he arrived at Cining Palace, Beichen Yeli, dressed in a bright yellow casual suit, walked down and entered the Cining Palace with Hu Yimeng in an orange-red palace costume.

The handsomeness of the two men and the beauty of women, coupled with the previous harmonious movement, both of them look radiant at this time, especially Hu Yimeng. The so-called illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like silk. At this moment, she is still a little sick, but she looks more and more charming. Her orange-red palace costume reflects the snowy white skin and a little flame-like mark on her eyebrows, which is dazzling.

As soon as Beichen Yeli and Hu Yimeng entered the hall, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The concubines quickly got up and saluted to Beichen Yeli Fu.

"Hangtray, emperor."

After the concubines saluted Beichen Yeli, in addition to Concubine De and Shufei, other concubines saluted Hu Yimeng, "The noble concubine is full of happiness and Jin'an."

The concubines saluted Hu Yimeng, and Hu Yimeng nodded to each other with their two cousins, Concubine Defei and Shufei, and said hello to each other.

Then he and Beichen Yeli went to send his best to the Empress Dowager.

"My son, please give my mother a good rest."

"My concubine said hi to the Empress Dowager."

The two saluted the empress dowager together.

"Well, there's no need to be polite. Now that the emperor has arrived, let's have a banquet." The Empress Dowager waved her hand to Beichen Yeli, but did not look at Hu Yimeng at all, as if inadvertently ignored her.

"Yes." Beichen Yeli nodded and walked side by side with the Empress Dowager to the table full of delicious food.

Hu Yi dreamed of this and was not angry. He still kept a perfect smile on his face and got up with Beichen Yeli.

She had expected that the Empress Dowager would make things difficult for her at the dinner at Cining Palace. Well, the Empress Dowager would show her disgust with her so soon.

However, she has always adhered to the good habit of being easy and adaptable to changes. She really wants to see how the Empress Dowager will make things difficult for her in the future.

Beichen Yeli, together with Grandpa He, respectfully invited the empress dowager to take a seat, and then sat down next to the empress dowager.

"Ha ha, it hasn't been long since Xue Lan entered the palace. This is the first time to eat here in the mourning family. Come and sit next to the mourning family and have a good talk with the mourning family." The Empress Dowager waved to Princess Xuelan with a smile.

"Xue Lan thanked the Empress Dowager for giving her a seat." Wang Xuelan smiled and sat down softly beside the Empress Dowager.

"Meng'er, you are also tired today. Come and sit down with me. The dinner here has always been famous for its exquisite dishes and excellent flavor. You should eat more tonight." Beichen Yeli patted the mahogany round stool beside him and said to Hu Yimeng.

"My concubine obeys the order." Hu Yimeng did not refuse. Since the empress dowager can let Shufei sit next to her, why not let the emperor Beichen Yeli sit beside her?

Hu Yimeng sat down in the seat next to Beichen Yeli.

The Empress Dowager looked at Hu Yimeng without a trace, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she quickly looked away and said to the other concubines with a smile, "Let's all sit down."

Princess Imperial Princess Ziyu clenched her lower lip and reluctantly sat down beside the Empress Dowager.

She didn't expect that her direct aunt would give her next place to her cousin Wang Xuelan, who had just entered the palace this time, and the emperor Beichen Yeli, who had been infatuated with her, also gave the position next to other women! No! It shouldn't be like this! She is obviously the person who has been with them for the longest time! She is the most noble woman in this palace! Wang Ziyu thought of it angrily.

Wang Ziyu reluctantly sat down beside her cousin Wang Xuelan.

As the oldest Zhaoyi in the palace, Chu Hanyan sat down beside Hu Yimeng.

Hu Yimeng and Chu Hanyan looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Chu Hanyan, a smart and gentle woman, Hu Yimeng feels that there is always a feeling of spring breeze when she gets along with such a woman. Although Princess Wang Xuelan always gives people a feeling of generosity and kindness, that feeling always makes people feel a little deliberate. Therefore, Hu Yimeng was very close to Chu Hanyan, especially after she talked with Chu Hanyan in the pavilion in the imperial garden that day, she admired this woman more. I don't know why she always feels that this woman named Chu Hanyan is different from other women in this harem, at least she won't annoy her.

The other concubines also arranged and sat down according to the level and the time of entering the palace.

At a dinner, the Empress Dowager talked and laughed with the concubines, especially the niece sitting next to her, who showed infinite favor and spoiling. Hu Yimeng accompanied her smiling face, touched and endured the empress dowager's intentional neglect, and devoted herself to eating. Occasionally, she chatted with Beichen Yeli and Chu Hanyan, which did not look embarrassed.

A dinner was completed under the seemingly happy situation of the guests.

But Hu Yimeng and Beichen Yeli will naturally not foolishly think that after a meal, there is nothing else for the Empress Dowager to do.

On the contrary, there are often infinite storms under the seemingly calm surface. If the joy of the family just now and the guests' happy dinner is the tranquility before the storm, then it is time to enter the theme now.

Sure enough, after being full of wine and food, everyone left the table under the leadership of the Empress Dowager and sat down in the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

The Empress Dowager and Beichen Yeli sat in the main seat of the noble concubine's couch, and the other concubines sat again according to the order of rank and before and after entering the palace.

The maids of honor served tea.

The Empress Dowager picked up the teacup, stretched out her exquisite Dankou, and her well-maintained fingers, pinched the lid of the cup, dialed the tea leaves in the cup, and took a sip of tea, and said with a loving and satisfied smile on her face, "Don't sit and taste the tea of Aijia, the best old gentleman's eyebrows, or the mourning family when Xuelan entered the palace a while ago. This tea is only produced in Tianji City, and can only produce one or two catties a year. Xue Lan has a heart. You are all stained with Xue Lan's light today. Ha ha." The Empress Dowager smiled, her eyes floated to Wang Xuelan, and nodded to her with satisfaction.

"The Empress Dowager praised it, but she was just writing about the specialties of her hometown. Xue Lan thought that the Empress would enjoy the glory in this palace, but she might not be able to taste the taste of her hometown from time to time, so she stayed for a few days to give the top emperor's eyebrows." Wang Xuelan said modestly.

"Xuelan is the most popular orchid heart." The Empress Dowager put down the teacup and said with a smile, "It's time to reward!"

"Empress dowager, how dare Xue Lan not receive the reward?" Wang Xuelan looked afraid and hurriedly got up and declined to the Empress Dowager.
