Royal Little Fortune

Chapter 54 New Year's Eve
But now she is white and chubby, wearing this makes her look more attractive, and she is quite beautiful.

Everyone has a desire for beauty, even if she is a little chubby, Ya Ruo wandered around in front of the mirror a few times, feeling quite smug.

"In a few days, you can wear this dress to the family banquet in the palace. It's festive and beautiful." Su Shi said with a smile.

Ya Ruo frowned slightly after hearing this, she didn't want to enter the palace, thinking about what happened in the palace last time, she shuddered a little.

"Mother, do we still have to go to the palace for a banquet during the Chinese New Year? Can we not go?" Ya Ruo asked in a low voice.

"If we were in Horqin, of course we didn't have to go, but now we are in the capital, we must go. The post from your empress dowager's aunt was delivered a few days ago." Su said in a low voice.

Hearing what her mother said, although Ya Ruo felt a little helpless in her heart, she had no choice but to do so. She was originally a person with strong tolerance and adaptability, so she quickly adjusted her mentality and asked with a smile: "Mother, do you have any problems?" Who are attending the family banquet in the palace?"

"According to the past rules, the royal families and nobles of the Aixinjueluo family are all invited for banquets in the palace, including the eight grand masters, their Fujin, and their most favored children. With the addition of people from our Horqin family, it will definitely be even more lively, there will be a lot of people, you girl, you have to follow the rules." Su confessed with a smile.

After hearing this, Ya Ruo couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said, "Mother, you have to trust your daughter, I've already memorized the palace rules, how could I make mistakes again? Don't worry!"

Su Shi laughed after hearing this: "That's right, don't be greedy then."

"Don't worry, I'm busy losing weight now, how can I be greedy? Besides...the imperial meals in the palace are not as delicious as the meals you cook, so of course I can't go far." Ya Ruo said with a smile.

"I am more and more able to please my mother." After hearing this, Su smiled happily. Although she knew that her daughter was flattering her, the flattering was especially beneficial to her.

A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was New Year's Eve. After breakfast, Ya Ruo and his family began to prepare to go to the palace for the banquet.

In this era, including the emperor, there were actually two meals a day, namely breakfast and dinner.

Take the emperor as an example, he had breakfast at six or seven in the morning, dinner at two in the afternoon, and supper at six or seven in the evening, so... the so-called New Year’s Eve family banquet was actually at two o’clock in the afternoon dinner party.

For Ya Ruo, a person from the future, it is natural that she can't adapt to it, and...in fact, most of them have changed.

Let’s just talk about their family. Since Ya Ruo, the soul from the future, came, breakfast is generally eaten at seven or eight o’clock, and dinner is mentioned around one noon, and it is named by Ya Ruo—lunch, six or seven in the evening The supper I ordered turned into dinner.

At first, Su and Manzhu were not used to practicing rituals, but they got used to it after a while.

And... Nowadays, the restaurants and restaurants outside the palace also sell food around noon, that is, around twelve o'clock, which is also called lunch.

Some customs have been passed down from ancient times to the present. After all, in ancient times, everyone’s living standards were very low, and they ate two meals a day. The rules left by the ancestors cannot be broken. Slowly something changed.

Dinner is still breakfast and dinner, lunch and supper, but it is also indispensable for people today. As for the time, it depends on each person's habits.

But the masters in the palace still adhere to the oldest etiquette, so... the New Year's Eve family banquet in the Palace of Compassionate Ning officially starts at two o'clock in the afternoon, and Ya Ruo and the others must arrive at the Palace of Compassionate Ning before noon.

In view of the painful experience last time, Ya Ruo of course urged her mother and Eqige to enter the palace earlier, lest she couldn't walk by herself, and it would be unreasonable to ask Eqige to carry it.

Although she still wants to rely on Eqige, she can't become a strange and strange flower in the eyes of others.

Hence, they entered the palace very early, and when they arrived at the Compassionate Ning Palace, there was still an hour and a half before the banquet.

"My maidservant greets the prince, greets Fujin, and sees Gege." Qinghe, one of the maids beside the empress dowager, greeted her with a smile, saluted respectfully, and said with a smile: "The empress dowager was just talking about the prince. He and Fujin will be here."

Manzhu Xili laughed when he heard the words, and as for the Su family who was at the side, he immediately smiled and said: "Thank you for leading us, Miss, is there someone from the Empress Dowager's side?"

"Reporting to Fujin, the foreign wives have not yet arrived, but all the concubines, empresses and young masters of the harem are here to accompany you."

"Thank you, miss." Su thanked her with a smile, motioned to the big maid beside her, Lianhua, to give Qinghe a big red seal as a reward, and then took her daughter's hand and went in.

In the bedroom of the Compassionate Palace, the Empress Dowager sat high on the throne, and Dowager Yijinggui, Concubine Kang Huishu and others sat on both sides to accompany her.

Because today is New Year's Eve, the beginning of the new year, although tomorrow is the first day of the new year, there is a custom of wearing new clothes, but today everyone is also dressed up, and everyone is dressed very festively.

After Yaruo entered, her eyes were so dazzled that she couldn't keep her eyes open. What caught her eyes were festive colors that tended to be red, plus the light of those gold, silver and jewelry.

"My minister, Manzhu Xili, brought his wife and daughter to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, and the empress is blessed and safe." Manzhu Xili hurriedly brought Su Shi and Yaruo to kneel down to salute.

"Stay flat." The queen mother raised her hand slightly with a smile.

Because there are all female relatives here, although Manzhu Xili is the queen mother's brother, it is not suitable to stay for a long time. After he invited Ann, he left immediately and went to the main hall to meet the emperor.

Ya Ruo and her mother stayed behind.

She followed her mother and sat in the back seat, listening to the concubines chatting with the queen mother, and occasionally a concubine interrupted, Ya Ruo could tell that the queen mother was also happy, and the person who spoke must be from the Horqin family , because... besides the empress dowager, her cousin Meng Guqing, there are two concubines from the Horqin family in the palace, Concubine Jing and Concubine Shun. She can be regarded as a niece, so Meng Guqing is not valued as much as Meng Guqing.

"Yaruo."

Just when Ya Ruo felt a little bored and started to lose her mind, she suddenly heard someone calling her. She was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that it was the queen mother calling her, and quickly stood up and blessed Fushen, saying: "Ya Ruo is here, I wonder what the queen mother is doing?" orders?"
