Your Majesty, please come quickly

Chapter 7 New Year's Eve Feast
The setting sun was late, the cold snow was falling, and as the clouds in the sky became more and more beautiful, the cold wind became more raging.

Tonight, unlike the silence in the past, the entire imperial city has come alive.The courtiers of the Huanyi Bureau also gathered in small groups to celebrate the arrival of the New Year with their acquaintances.

"I heard that the emperor will invite all the ministers to a banquet in the palace today to celebrate together. I don't know what it will be like." Xilan said with a smile, her bright eyes were full of longing.

"If you want to go, then you should strive to marry the third prince as soon as possible. Not only can you go, but you can also bring me and Sister Caiwei with you." When he was in a good mood, Ah Jia also joked, and pulled the girl beside him. Caiwei, "Say yes, Miss Caiwei."

"Ajia, you're talking nonsense again!" Xilan gave Ajia a hard look, her face turning pink.

Caiwei saw that they were so happy, and the melancholy that had lingered between her brows gradually disappeared, and she laughed along with them.

At the same time, there was a long queue at the south gate of the palace.All kinds of gorgeous carriages were surrounded by groups of servants and maidservants, and officials in court uniforms and ladies in gorgeous clothes got off one by one.

After entering the palace, all courtiers and family members are led by the eunuch of the deacon to Ruixueyuan. As the name suggests, Ruixueyuan has the beautiful meaning of auspicious snow heralding a good year.

The garden was arranged early by the palace people, and fine wine, delicacies and fruits were placed on the table in advance.

When the sky was slightly dark, almost all the people who came to the New Year's Eve banquet were present.The courtiers and the prince are on the left, and the family and concubines and princesses are on the right.The literati on the left recite poems and fight against each other, the generals drink and talk happily, and the female family members on the right chat about interesting things in their boudoir. The atmosphere is lively and harmonious.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here!" A high-pitched voice sounded, and everyone put away their idle expressions, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Long live my emperor, long live my majesty, and my empress!" A bright yellow figure First, followed by a group of Yingying and Yanyan, a dozen people were surrounded by palace people and entered the palace together.

The emperor walked straight to the dragon chair on the high platform in front of him and sat down, holding his left hand in the air, and said with a smile, "It's New Year's Eve today, you don't have to be so cautious, all you loves, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone got up and took their seats one by one.Sitting on the first seat below the emperor's right is naturally Concubine Qi Shu.Since the queen's death, she has been acting as the back seal to rule the six palaces.

Concubine Qi Shu, who was in her early thirties, had no trace of age on her pretty face.Today she is wearing a phoenix-tailed cloud dress with dark patterns on a bright red base, bordered by gold thread, on which is embroidered with gold thread to embroider peacocks spreading their tails, tied with a red and gold belt of the same color, weak willows supporting the wind, and smiling sweetly.

Next to Concubine Qi Shu is the First Prince's mother, Feng Jieyu.Even if she is inferior to the concubines behind her, she can still stand shoulder to shoulder with Concubine Qi Shu by virtue of her status as the mother of the eldest son of the emperor.

As the banquet begins, the silk and bamboo are melodious, and the cups are intertwined, and the initial sense of urgency gradually disappears.After a few drinks, the emperor was in a happy mood and his complexion improved a lot, and the courtiers below gradually let go of their restraint.

When the dancers on the dance floor finished the last dance and left, Concubine Qi Shu suddenly proposed to the emperor that she wanted to see the demeanor of the ladies in the families of the ministers, "I don't know what do you think?" With the majesty of the superior, people dare not disobey.The woman on the high platform looked down, her phoenix eyes were full of meaning, her red lips were slightly curved, and she was smiling.
