Chapter 462: Palace Banquet

After the Spring Festival, it is customary to have a very grand palace dinner, with hundreds of officials in the outer palace, and the emperor presides over the banquet. The family members are ordered to enter the inner palace and be received by the queen.
It stands to reason that this year's situation is not suitable for a big banquet, after all, the emperor is paralyzed, so many people gathered in the palace to have a banquet is really not pretty. But the strength of the millennium inertia has not changed because an emperor is sick. The palace is still full of lights, colorful firecrackers and noisy, and everyone wears red and purple to the party with joy.
It should be Liu Wanxi who presides over the family members of the inner palace. It is a bit troublesome for the foreign minister to preside over the family. If there is a prince, the prince can preside over. What about now?
Liu Wanxi solicited the opinions of Ji Qing's original person on this matter, and Ji Qingyuan said that the second prince Ji Wuli and the eighth prince Ji Wuyou should jointly preside over it.
This is a signal that is easy to produce special interpretation. Ji Qingyuan is also not easy. He didn't want to let a certain host alone, and came up with a co-hosting method. This method is twisted and co-chaired. Who said the speech? Who toast the first wine? It's a mess.
But Liu Wanxi didn't bother to wipe this for Ji Qingyuan. She loved her lover. As soon as she returned to the palace, she happily reported to Xue Mu.
"Is Pingyang really sealed?" Xue Mu smiled: "Then is she participating in the outer palace or the inner palace tonight?"
"She always has the most important role in arrest, and she naturally participates in a hundred officials."
"Well……"
"Why, want to eat the princess?"
"What's the matter, I want Kui Ye and Gu Ying to play as palace ladies. Kui Ye has been having trouble for a long time. It doesn't matter if the officials' family members don't know them. If Xiahou is here, it would be bad for her to see them."
Liu Wanxi smiled and said: "What's wrong, do you think Xiahou really can't guess that you are hiding in the palace? That's just a head-hunting."
"Eh? She guessed it?"
"Obviously. Maybe you guessed that I was yours..." Liu Wanxi blushed and whispered: "Anyway, she doesn't look right at me..."
"Maybe this canonization made her realize that I can exert influence on you, combined with professional sensitivity, it is really not surprising to guess." Xue Mu pondered, "Isn't Grandpa Li exposed?"
"It shouldn't be." Liu Wanxi blushed and said: "Enough is enough, she realized that you are stealing the imperial concubine, this can be tolerated, this tolerance for you is not easy, I am afraid it will be It’s tied to you, the principles have been retreated."
"Huh eh? Realizing that you are my person, and realizing that I'm stealing the imperial concubine, are they two different things?"
"For other men, these may be two different things, but for your words..." Liu Wanxi smiled and said, "When Xiahoudi met you the first day?"
Xue Mu said in a pity: "I obviously refused at first!"
Liu Wanxi smiled and stepped into his arms: "Alright, alright, I was the one who seduced you."
This ceremonial costume is compelling, and the nephrite jade is warm and fragrant in his arms, Xue Mu is moved a little, and knowing that it is not time, helplessly said: "You are also seducing me now..."
Liu Wanxi said in a charming voice, "Should Father Xue Zi accompany the palace to a banquet to see if there is any official family member who can steal it?"
"You are the little boots..."
"I'm Xiao Yuanzi..."
Xue Mu's big hand was covered somewhere and gently rubbed: "Is it round here?"
Before Liu Wanxi had time to answer, Kuiye jumped in in a small palace suit: "Nonsense, she is round, I am Xiaoyuanzi!"
"..." Xue Mu drew out his hand in embarrassment and rubbed Qiye's cheek twice: "Such a small maid, will others be surprised when they see it?"
"It's nothing. There are five or six-year-old ladies in the palace. Most of them are adopted by the father-in-law of the worship hall to serve as heirs. Xiahou also used this name." Liu Wanxi languidly got up to tidy up the messy clothes, casually. Said: "Kui Ye is very familiar with almost all the ladies in the palace these days. Everyone looks at her like a baby."
Xue Mu smiled and said: "It's too idle, I almost ate fat for a while."
Kui Ye protested: "I'm not busy, I'm serious."
"Why are you serious?"
"Seriously be the king of children, now they all call my sister!"
Mother, you are a twenty-four...No, now a girl of twenty-five, go to be the child king of a five or six year old girl!
Outside Ye Guying began to cough: "Time is almost up, do you want to go, father-in-law Little Boots?"
Xue Mu glared at her, wanting to fight back at Sister Little Ye Zi, do you want to eat?
But think about it, this girl has been bullied enough by herself to be tragic enough, but she took it back when she talked, and didn't take advantage of this oral advantage.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Whether you go, if you don't expect it, Xiahou will come to me."
...
The father-in-law of Little Boots followed the imperial concubine to preside over the banquet in the inner palace, peeping at which of the families of the officials was the most beautiful, the scene was very seductive.
The concubines also know that now the imperial concubine is in charge of internal and external power, and all of them can’t flatter themselves. Even the "little boot father-in-law" and "little leaf palace girl" have become the partners of the ladies. They quietly touched them with their delicate hands and secretly gave you a piece of jade. What……
Ye Guying collected the wealth quietly, Xue Mu wiped the oil quietly, and everyone was overjoyed.
The atmosphere of the official banquet in the Outer Palace was not very right.
Even the opening speech didn't know what to say, Ji Wuli and Ji Wuyou were embarrassingly standing side by side, and they didn't know who would stand up and talk first.
Ji Wuyou usually doesn't want to show any fighting intentions, but not at this time.
With his humility, those who bet on him will be disappointed. If you don't fight, you have to push up.
"Sneez..." Ji Wuxing sneered, pouring himself a drink.
Ji Wuli found an excuse for the attack, and slapped the table: "Hundred officials have not yet started, you are so rude!"
Ji Wuxing squinted over: "It's your ass?"
"Asshole!" Ji Wuli's expression was pale: "Pull down this shameful rebellious madman!"
"Slow!" Ji Wuyou finally got up and pressed his second brother's hand: "Don't make trouble, Baiguan is watching, it's not plausible."
Ji Wuli sneered: "Hypocrite."
Ji Wuyou's expression turned dark, Baiguan looked at this farce, staring at each other, silent.
Xiahou Diqing stood up suddenly, striding to the main position: "Today is the rejoicing of Xiahou Guizong, so how about let Xiahou say something?"
Ji Wuyou smiled slightly and moved away: "It should be so."
Ji Wuli couldn't say anything, and let him go. Xiahoudi strode to the middle of the two and toasted: "The country is prosperous and it is not dependent on God's help. It depends on the concerted efforts of all colleagues. Xiahou would like to respect you! "
The group of officials burst out: "I also wish Princess Pingyang the joy of recognizing her ancestor and returning to her clan!"
"Everyone wins!"
The officials drank together, Xiahou Di drank his neck, turned the glass cup upside down, and smiled: "Everyone is a warrior, and Xiahou is dealing with the rivers and lakes all day long. There are not so many rules. Let go of eating and drinking!"
Su Duancheng smiled: "This is the simplest speech I have heard in the past 30 years. What are you doing in a daze?"
All the officials laughed, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed and entered the appearance that the banquet should have.
Li Yingqing, Zheng Yezhi, and Chen Ganzhen, the three masters sat together, each exchanged a glance, and they all sighed together.
Xiahoudi left the main seat and gave it to the second elder brother and myna again. He turned around and carried the flask to the three sect masters, and said with a smile: "Xiahou Jing everyone."
"Princess Pingyang is polite." The three of them all got up, and Zheng Yezhi smiled and said, "Women don't let their beards and eyebrows, believe it."
Xiahoudi said, "I'd better call Xiahou's name. What kind of princess is not used to it."
The three of them all smiled and said, "Sooner or later you have to get used to it."
Xiahoudi shook his head, did not say anything, just drank three cups in a row.
The three sect masters all squinted and saw that Xiahoudi was in a bad mood. She didn't have any power to suppress her drinking, and she was really drinking.
She wants to be drunk?
