"Queen, since Ai's family is here, let's hold a banquet tonight. Ai's family also wants to see how this group of juniors gather together."
The queen mother spoke slowly and interrupted the two people who were still warm. Feng Xuanche glanced at her and said nothing.
"Since the Queen Mother wants to reunite everyone, the concubine naturally obeyed."
Du Xuechun nodded, and then said: "Today I took the two children to play for a day, and the concubines were also a little tired. The queen mother allowed the concubines to rest for a while."
When it comes to this, the queen mother will naturally not refuse.
Du Xuechun and Mingying held the baby and walked to their camp.
The queen mother looked at the back of the two people, thoughtfully.
Feng Xuanche handed all the prey shot down today to Guo Yuanqing, and then followed in the footsteps of the two.
"Chun'er, you have been holding banquets non-stop a few days ago, and you have worked a lot. Why do you still agree to the Queen Mother's request."
He asked inexplicably, but Du Xuechun looked at the two children who were already asleep on the bed and shook her head: "She has come here in person, and it is purposeful. If I don't let her achieve it, she won't let it go. "
Hearing this, Feng Xuan Che had no choice but to nod.
In full view, he couldn't say anything to the queen mother, but in his heart he did not agree with her request.
Soon, the time came to night.
Du Xuechun had long ordered people to buy tables and chairs, and put a lot of candlelights. Although they were brightly lit, they were not as exciting as the bonfire that day. Everyone was a little confused about the Queen's arrangements tonight.
After all, some people still don't know the news of the arrival of the Queen Mother.
Later, when they saw the dignified and solemn figure of the Queen Mother, they understood in their hearts.
It turned out that the queen mother had arrived.
No wonder the queen empress changed her former style.
This has become a point that everyone knows well. There are smart people present, so naturally there is no objection to the change of the banquet style.
For a while, everyone recovered tacitly and became the appearance of attending a dinner in the palace.
"Everyone, don't be constrained. It is this freedom that is pursued in this hunting ground. Today we will relax."
Although the Queen Mother said this on her lips, her eyes were full of seriousness, and she didn't mean to relax.
Everyone looked at each other, and some daughters even felt in their hearts that the queen mother was just acting on the surface, and how could the empress be happy to lead by example.
The queen mother obviously didn't realize that she was still very satisfied with this scene.
Suddenly, dishes were brought up one after another. The delicious barbecue and wild vegetable soup caught the attention of the Queen Mother.
She hasn't been to the hunting ground for a long time, so naturally she rarely eats this kind of original food, and she feels a little fresh for a while.
Randomly picked up the chopsticks and moved a few more mouthfuls.
"Does the empress still like it?" Madam Peng asked, her eyes a little complicated.
She has been with the Queen Mother for many years, and she has known her habits a long time ago. She likes this look very much, but she is in control.
"Not bad." The Queen Mother said rarely, the barbecue was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a slight sweetness, and no sense of wood, which made her very fond of it.
"I heard that the dishes on this banquet were all developed by the Queen Empress. It took a lot of time."
Sure enough, as soon as Mother Peng's words fell, the Queen Mother felt a little responsive.
It's really unlucky for me to come across something I'm interested in, but that girl Du Xuechun did it.
She thought for a while, and put down her chopsticks.
Du Xuechun naturally saw the scene here, and she couldn't help but smile. The queen mother obviously liked these dishes, but the mother next to her said a few words before putting down her chopsticks.
What's more, she doesn't want this kind of people to like the things she made with her heart.
"The Ai's family has been exhausted recently, so I like to watch your young people lively and lively, which makes people happy, the queen, ordered several young ladies to show their talents to Ai's family, and relieve the boredom."
The queen mother lay a little lazily on a chair. Since she didn't want to use these dishes, she planned to watch some programs to add to the fun.
In this royal hunting ground, it is natural that you can't listen to the drama, so you have to see if there are any people who can use them.
Du Xuechun nodded, she also felt a little bored, so she took the initiative to speak: "Now every family has reported the names of the girls who have not been out of the cabinet, and the palace randomly draws lots, and the ones that are drawn will randomly add to a show."
This form is also a novel method that these official ladies have not tried very much. This kind of banquet is usually arranged in advance, and which ladies of the family will perform and what is determined by default. Rarely will draw lots like this .
There is also like the last time playing drums to pass flowers, isn't the new talented oriole being lucky? Otherwise, he would not be taken by the Queen Mother, and would be taken directly back to the palace. Don't look at her as a small talent now, she might go where she will go in the future.
But in fact, this is all people's imagination.
Just after the names were handed over to Mingying, many ladies were a little nervous. After all, this banquet was in an open air environment, which was a bit cold.
There are many male guests on the side, many of them are from Yushu Linfeng, causing the ladies to blush.
Although you can use the excuse of performing to the empress dowager to show your beautiful posture, you can also lay the foundation for finding a husband and son in the future.
But if you don’t shine, or even make a fool of yourself, you will be remembered and chewed.
Those who usually practice skills are naturally not worried, but those concubines and lazy ladies are a little worried.
Soon, Du Xuechun decided on the first candidate to perform.
"The first one is the second lady of the Yun family, Yun Luoxia."
The person who was named was a little surprised, but there was no trace of fear on her face. She walked forward slowly and performed a standard etiquette.
"Today I was in a hurry, and the courtier played a tune for the empress dowager to help the empress dowager to be blessed in the East China Sea, and to live by Nanshan."
Her voice was calm, she looked like a nice daughter, and the queen mother nodded.
She has always liked this kind of dignified and elegant noble, rather than a country girl who always behaves like Du Xuechun.
In addition, Du Xuechun hardly listened to her, and always opposed her. Naturally, the queen mother had no affection for Du Xuechun.
Na Yun Luoxia sat down slowly, and the servant quickly lifted her the piano stand and the guqin. She had a turquoise skirt with a collar, and her long hair naturally rolled up one sideburn, and her face was slightly covered with powder, which looked elegant and dignified. .
Just as she was preparing, Du Xuechun had drawn the next five consecutive draws, announced their names, and told them to prepare.
The sound of the piano sounded slowly, as refreshing as the high mountains and running water, long ago, palace people used special amplification stones to place them next to the guqin to make the sound louder.
For a time, the gurgling piano sounded in everyone's heart.
She picks and presses from time to time, handling every detail perfectly, which makes many young ladies feel ashamed.
Soon, this soothing tune reached the end.
The level of such skills is one of the best in the capital, but it is not an exaggeration.
Many elder brothers secretly remembered this woman who was in danger, and couldn't help but admire that if there was such a mistress in the family, there would be fewer disputes in the back home.
