Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 357 Dragon Boat Festival Banquet
Jiujing Sanshi Hall is the orthodox main hall of Changchun Garden. Kangxi's daily meetings were held in Jiujing Sanshi Hall.Danning Ju was where Kangxi handled government affairs, and Qingxi Bookstore was where Kangxi rested.

At this time, Concubine Tong Jia brought Si Fujin, Qi Fujin, Twelve Fujin, Thirteen Fujin, Side Fujin, and Ge Ge to the Jiujing Sanshi Hall early in the morning.

Concubine Tong Jia first told them to sit down and rest.And he was directing the minions of all sizes to arrange the seats and dishes.

After a while, each concubine led their sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and granddaughters to the Nine Classics and Three Things Hall.

After everyone sat down carefully, the prince took the crown prince, Galudai, Lin Jiafujin, and his two adult sons, Hong Xi and Hong Jin, to the Nine Classics and Three Things Hall.

Hongxi was still recovering from his illness in bed because of what happened before.It's just that today is the Dragon Boat Festival, Hong Xi thought that except today, she might not have a chance to see Kangxi.Therefore, Hongxi still followed the prince with a sick look.He still had a sense of luck, thinking that Huang Mafa might feel pity for him when he looked at his sick appearance.

The prince also had this mentality, so he allowed Hong Xi to attend this occasion with him.Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to attend the festival in a sick mood.

The prince sat in his seat, looking at Hongxi sitting behind him, thinking in his heart: After all, he is his eldest son, so he still has to give him a chance.But if Huang Ama didn't have any pity for Hong Xi, then she would have no choice but to support Hong Jin.The prince turned his gaze on Hong Xi to Hong Jin, who was sitting next to Hong Xi.

Hong Xi understood that Amma, who had just looked at her, was looking at her half-brother next to her.Hong Xi clenched the hand that was placed under the table. This time today, it was all over the place.Absolutely, absolutely cannot let Amma focus on Hongjin.

After a while, all the elder brothers and clan members who were able to enter the palace to receive the banquet arrived.Only Kangxi, the Empress Dowager and Wanxian were not present.

After the fourth elder brother Yinzhen sat next to Sifu Jin Ulanala, Ulanala hesitated for a moment and then pulled the fourth elder brother and talked about Li's offense against Concubine Shu in the morning.

Listening to the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's anger, it turned out to be a troubled time now, and his situation was also a bit embarrassing.However, Mrs. Li didn't know how to restrain herself and dared to make trouble in the palace.I really don’t know why I favored the Li family in the first place, but it’s hard for Fujin to plan for him.Now that I think about it, after all, it is Fujin's knowledge. Sure enough, the ancient book's theory of husband and wife becoming one is correct.

"Your Majesty, if I want to ask the Crown Princess for help, I should at least calm down with Concubine Shu." Ulanara suggested in a low voice.

Fourth elder brother Yinzhen nodded and said: "Fu Jin's idea is very good, so it's all Fujin's fault."

"This is what I should do, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Sifujin Ulanara said generously.

Fourth elder brother Yinzhen nodded and stopped talking.

But Ulanara gritted his teeth and said implicitly: "Your Majesty, I am a little worried."

"What is Fujin worried about?" Fourth elder brother Yinzhen asked quickly when he saw his wife in trouble.

After Uranala hesitated for a moment, he said truthfully: "Your Majesty, I am worried that Fulana's request for the title will be rejected by the clan government."

"What do you mean?" Yinzhen understood what his wife meant.

"Your Majesty, when we were in the back hall of Ningchun Hall today, Fulana followed behind Li and did not stop Li from telling lies. The empress and Fujin who were present are all discerning people..." Si Fujin did not take it seriously. The rest is all said.After all, she also understood the position of Flana in her prince's heart.After all, she is the only daughter who grew up safely.

Fourth elder brother Yinzhen fumbled with the ring on his right thumb and stopped talking.Si Fujin knew that going too far was not enough, so he stopped talking.

At this time, the major Fujins also whispered to their husbands about the farce in the Ningchun Hall today about the fourth elder brother cheating on the Fujin Li family.

This made the brothers around him look at the fourth brother Yinzhen who was sitting in his seat, both covertly and covertly.

Yinzhen's anger, which had been extinguished, started to burn again.

Galudai looked at the empty seats, stood up, took two steps forward and said to the Crown Princess: "Mother, it seems that Grandma Shuma hasn't arrived yet?"

The Crown Princess comforted Galudai and said, "Don't worry. Looking at this, I'm afraid your Grandma Shuma will come with your Majesty Mafa."

Galudai nodded and quickly returned to his seat.

Seeing this, the prince asked the princess: "During this period, Lu Dai has become very close to Concubine Shu."

"This is natural. Huang Ama specially asked Galudai to learn embroidery from Shu'er Niang. This way, they will naturally become familiar with each other." The Crown Princess said with a smile.

The prince added: "In this case, you should also give some advice to Lu Dai and ask him to say more good things to the East Palace in front of Concubine Shu. There are so many concubines in the harem, and this is the first time for Emperor Ama to do this. Such pampering. I think Concubine Shu still has three respects in front of Huang Ama." "Please rest assured, Prince Edward, these concubines are aware of their feelings both mentally and physically." Although the Crown Princess was a little displeased in her heart, she still agreed on her face.

The prince felt relieved and said, "Okay, then the princess will take care of everything."

At this moment, Liang Jiugong was seen walking in from outside the palace, standing at the door of the palace, waving a whisk and shouting: "The Empress Dowager is here, Long Live Lord is here, and Concubine Shu is here."

As soon as Liang Jiugong finished speaking, everyone sitting on the banquet in the hall knelt on the ground to greet him.

"The servants are waiting to welcome the Queen Mother to a happy Dragon Boat Festival, and long live the Lord to have a happy Dragon Boat Festival. Good luck to the Concubine Shu."

"My sons and ministers, I sincerely wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival. Your Majesty, your Majesty, a happy Dragon Boat Festival. Your Majesty, your Majesty, a happy Dragon Boat Festival. Your Majesty, Concubine Shu, have a happy Dragon Boat Festival."

Immediately, Kangxi took the lead and stepped into the palace. Wanxian, who was behind, carefully supported the Empress Dowager into the palace.

Kangxi walked to the first seat and ordered: "That's it, everyone, get up."

"I thank the Empress Dowager for your grace, and I thank you, Lord Long Live, for your grace."

"My son, thank you, Mama Huang, for your grace. Thank you, Mama Huang, for your grace."

Wanxian respectfully helped the Queen Mother sit down before waiting for the next step.

Kangxi told Wanxian: "Go and sit down first."

"Yes." Wanxian bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager and Kangxi, and then walked to her seat.

Wanxian turned around, and the gems inlaid on the gold-lapis lapis collar she wore around her neck shone brightly in the midday sun.

The concubine, Fujin and Gege who were present were all jealous.What a good guy, how many good things did Long Live Lord give to Concubine Shu? In the morning, it was first a plate of tourmaline beads, and now it is a lapis lazuli collar inlaid with gems.Long live my lord, how did this concubine fall in your eyes?
Wanxian sat on her own seat.

After Kangxi saw Wanxian sitting down, he stood up with the wine cup on the table and said, "Come on, today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's drink this cup together."

The Nine-Fifth Master Long Live the Lord all stood up. Everyone sitting in the Nine Classics and Three Things Hall quickly picked up their wine glasses, stood up and congratulated Kangxi in unison: "I wish the Long Live Lord a long life without borders, and the peace and prosperity of the Qing Dynasty and the people." After speaking, After that, everyone drank all the wine in the wine glasses.

Kangxi waved away Liang Jiugong who was about to pour the wine. He picked up the jug and took a glass. He toasted to the empress dowager who was sitting aside: "Empress, I wish you a healthy Dragon Boat Festival and be free from the five poisons."

The Empress Dowager also held the wine glass and nodded: "Okay, Emperor, you are interested." After finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager drank all the wine in the wine glass.

The prince and his concubine came up to Kangxi and the empress dowager, and toasted: "My son and his concubine are here to say hello to the emperor and Mama Huang. I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival and be free from all poisons." invade."

"Okay, Empress Dowager, it's rare for the prince to share this sentiment." Kangxi said happily to the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager also said: "Okay, okay, the Yi family is also happy when they see the prince and the princess singing in harmony. Come, let's drink up a glass." After saying that, he finished the wine in the glass.

After the Crown Prince and Crown Princess retired, Third Brother and San Fujin also stepped forward to celebrate.

Although the Empress Dowager did not like to see the Dong E family of Sanfujin on a daily basis, she thought of today and did not say anything. She drank all the wine in the wine glass.

Sanfujin Dong E's family also breathed a sigh of relief and followed San Age back to his seat.

Si Age and Si Fujin also came forward to toast...

Wanxian was looking at the excitement above, and the concubine below held a wine glass and toasted Wanxian: "Sister Shufei, I'd like to give you a drink."
