Chapter 279 Palace Banquet

Two days before August 15, the people in the palace sent the post of the palace banquet. Mrs. An Guohou called Xinrong to talk about the rules that need to be paid attention to in the palace one by one, and asked Xinrong if she knew the etiquette in the palace. Xinrong obediently answered that there was a sister in the palace when she was a child, and she was afraid of being strange.

Mrs. An Guohou asked Xia's mother to teach Xinrong about the rules for a few days. Xia's mother praised Xinrong's understanding of etiquette and no longer needed her teaching, so Xinrong calmed down.

She has never been to the place of the palace, and she is still a little worried. She has seen the emperor several times, but the emperor is wearing casual clothes and does not carry a big shelf. But there must be a lot of ministers and women at the palace banquet, and the face-faced concubines in the palace will also gather together.

Mrs. An Guohou ordered Xinrong to say a few more words to let Xinrong prepare some gifts for the queen and the noble concubine in the palace.

My heart inquired about the preferences of the Empress and the Empress, and I had some foundation in my heart. I think that the queen and all the women with status have long been used to gold and silver jade, and I don't think it's rare. I invited Yao's mother and the maids who are good at embroidery to embroider some small objects. The sachet and purse do not fall down. Of course, these are just small objects and can't be put on the table, so they go to the silver building and ask the craftsmen to make a few gold-inlaid jade pendants according to the drawings. Although they are still small objects, the jade is made of old pits. The generous action made the boss of the silver building immediately serve him as a guest.

In fact, it is not a rare thing, but in order to distinguish the identity, Rong deliberately told that only one object must be colored with purple spring ribbon, and the rest should avoid purple.

On the evening of August 15, the Marquis of Anguo and his party went to the palace.

Entering the inner palace, the leading father-in-law led Xinrong and Mrs. An Guohou to take him to Yilan Hall. Xiahou Chen and An Guohou were taken by another leading father-in-law from another road to Yilan Hall.

Although he came to the palace for the first time, he did not look around without those eyes. His eyes naturally looked ahead and followed him with a smile. Mrs. Anguo is extremely satisfied. Although she is usually steady and pleasing, she has never entered the palace and has never seen such a big scene. She is always worried that she has lost her etiquette. It seems that she is too worried.

Although I have never been to the palace here, I have also visited the Forbidden City in my last life. I have also seen the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Forbidden City in Shenyang, the Huaqing Pool, the restored Daming Palace, and Western palaces. The only difference is that there is a large group of noble people living in this palace now.

From time to time, they will encounter a team of maids on the road. Every time the maids of honor bow their heads and half their bodies. After allowing them to pass by, the maids of honor leave quickly.

When I was about to arrive at Yilan Palace, I heard people's voices, and the palace had already lit the palace lamp. It's not too late now, and you can see the outline of the whole Yilan Palace.

After stepping into the palace gate and bypassing several corridors, he arrived at the garden in Yilan Hall.

The garden has already been full of banquets, and groups of ladies have gathered with their acquaintances. As soon as Mrs. Anguo came in, a sharp-eyed wife saw it and quickly came to say hello. Mrs. Anguo nodded with a smile and did not get too close.

"Isn't this Mrs. Anguo? You're late today!"

When Xinrong suddenly heard the woman's voice, she saw a lady in a Chinese dress coming. The woman was about 40 to 50 years old, and her eyebrows were high. Although she walked fast, there was no sound in the hairdress on her head.

The smile on Mrs. Anguo's face softened a little, and her whole body became generous, "Old sister is burying me!"

She immediately pulled her heart over and introduced, "This is the mother of Dingyuanhou and a kind person. Come and see the ceremony quickly."

He was blessed and said slowly, "Good luck, madam!"

Old lady Dingyuan looked up and down at her heart. Seeing that her face was decent, generous, neither humble nor arrogant, she couldn't help praising: "Your daughter-in-law is really sensible. Obviously, she came out as a family. Why is your third sister so careful that she often sends the maid?"

Obviously, this old lady Dingyuan is not satisfied with the third sister at all.

"The old lady praised me, and there was no one to discipline me when I was a child. Fortunately, I was taught by three sisters later, which made me look like today." Xinrong said good words to the third sister. Although she really doesn't like to see the third sister, at least she came out of Xue's house. The third sister's reputation is not good, but she, the eldest sister and the fifth sister will be involved.

What's more, this old lady Dingyuanhou is really brainless. Even if she gets along well with Mrs. Anguohou, there is no one who arranges her daughter-in-law in front of outsiders, and the family can't be ugly.

Although Xinrong did not reveal anything, Mrs. Anguo still felt a little emotional change in her heart. She looked at Princess Xiaochen and Liu Yuner coming here and said, "Your two cousins-in-law came late. Go and talk to them. I haven't seen the old sister for a long time, but I want to talk about myself. Words."

The last sentence is said to the old lady Dingyuanhou.

Xinrong nodded and saw Princess Xiaochen and Liu Yuner coming this way, so she greeted them. In fact, she really doesn't understand why these two marry Li Yi together, and she looks rosy and smiling. Obviously, they get along very well.

"I thought you wouldn't like this atmosphere, so I won't come!" Liu Yuner stepped forward and took her heart's hand and said.

"How can it be? It's not easy to enter the palace once, and naturally I want to join in the fun."

"There is nothing interesting in this palace. Are you here to watch your family?" Princess Xiaochen laughed, and she came to the root of her heart and whispered, "You see, there are many women coming to this banquet. The princes and ladies of each family are not hiding. They are all sent in. Do you know why?"

He looked at the unfinished ladies sitting aside, and his eyes secretly glanced at the man's seat. Worried about the reserved problem, he lowered his head at a glance, and then waited to see that no one around them noticed their little movements, and then glanced over there. Several ladies even blushed their cheeks.

I suddenly understood that this was not a palace banquet given by the royal family. It was completely a blind date.

"Let's sit over there. You haven't contacted the ladies in the capital in the past. After getting married, you have been to many wives' mansions, but I haven't seen you say a few words to them. These are all our former close friends, and they don't chew their tongues. Liu Yuner pulled her heart and went to the western corner.
