Chapter 245 The Banquet of the Concubine
Ask for a monthly ticket for the beauty dream in troubled times!
***************
The time for the palace banquet is coming soon.Because today is the emperor's family banquet, which means that official uniforms are not allowed, but family members can be brought.So Chang Lin put on a moon-white robe and a purple jade crown.

As soon as he dressed up, he immediately looked like a jade.Ignoring the obsessive eyes of the maids, Chang Lin kept his brows tightly locked.He stretched his waist and widened the gap between his brows.He shouted loudly: "Come on, prepare the car!"

When the carriages were walking outside the palace, from time to time one could see the carriages of officials driving towards the palace.When they saw Chang Lin's carriage, they all avoided to get out of the way.Chang Lin stretched out his head and greeted them one by one with a smile.All the officials responded respectfully with smiles, and the carriage quickly drove into Miyagi.

It was about You hour, it was getting late, and the palace was brightly lit.Chang Lin leaned against the wall of the carriage, his handsome face could only be seen with majesty and depth under the uncertain light.

The gate of the imperial palace was wide open, and the carriage could not stop coming in.As each carriage drove in, the guards of the imperial city let out a long shout.Chang Lin shook his head amidst the long shouts to keep himself awake.

What everyone is entering now is Zuohuangmen.There are three major gates in the entire imperial city, namely the left and right imperial gates and the main imperial gate.The Royal Gate will only be opened for real events.The right gate is usually opened by envoys when they enter the palace.And Zuohuangmen is the avenue that Chang Lin and others walk most often.

There is a full 500-meter inner road from the Zuohuang Gate to the "Yiyin Palace" where the emperor held a night banquet.This inner road is extremely wide, and dozens of carriages can travel at the same time.

When Chang Lin arrived, it seemed that some people who attended the banquet also came.They cleared a field at the front.Chang Lin's carriage drove to the open space and stopped.

When he got out of the car, there was a series of respectful greetings.Chang Lin smiled back one by one.He was born as a general, and he hated these vain rituals the most before.Therefore, under his rule, these etiquettes were naturally much simplified than before.

When every official enters the palace, there will be the sound of singing promises.As Chang Lin's name sounded, the hall seemed to be quiet for a moment.As soon as Chang Lin stepped in, the inside immediately boiled.Everyone gathered around and greeted him one after another.

Chang Lin looked coldly at Li Yue who was sitting on the throne, and saw that his round face still had such a calm smile.Chang Lin smiled, knowing in his heart that everyone present, even a little eunuch, had already learned not to show emotions or anger.It's not easy to see Li Yue's emotions from his face.

As Chang Lin approached, Li Yue smiled and said, "The regent is here too? I and all the ministers are waiting for the prince."

Chang Lin hurriedly returned the gift and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm a little late, please don't be offended." Li Yue laughed, and said, "The regent's words are serious, why are you late? It's because I arrived early .Ha ha."

While returning the gifts one by one with a smile, Chang Lin sat down in the first seat on the emperor's left.As he sat down, the officials who had stood up sat down one by one.

Most of the ministers followed Chang Lin closely.With his arrival, the sound of singing promises continued to sound.After a while, the civil and military ministers in the hall had settled down to their seats.

This time the emperor invited the banquet, and all the officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital were present.There are hundreds or thousands of people in one hall.Perhaps it was expected that Chang Lin would come alone.In the first hall, there were not many officials with their families.

Seeing that all the officials were seated, the eunuch standing next to the emperor shouted loudly: "Play music, let's have a banquet!"

Together with the sound of music, a burst of ring rings came crisply.Everyone followed the sound and saw a line of maids coming in from the gate of the palace. Each maid held a food box in her hand. Starting with the emperor and the regent, they set up wine and vegetables for everyone one by one.

Chang Lin always had a smile on his face.There is a table in front of everyone, which is a special place to put wine, vegetables and fruits.

The ladies of the palace moved very neatly.After a while, the food and wine were already set up in front of the officials.

Seeing that the officials were in place, the wine and dishes were set up.The emperor stood up.Holding the wine glass, he said with a smile on his face: "Today is the joy of accepting my concubine. Originally, such a trivial matter does not need to be laborious. But I promised my concubine that I would give her a surprise. So I invited everyone here."

He laughed and said, "Come on, all my loves, drink this cup!"

After all, he drank it himself.As he drank it all, the officials also raised their glasses, spoke words of celebration, and drank the wine one by one.

After drinking, the emperor slapped his palms, and with his applause, a burst of music sounded.Amidst the sound of music, groups of women in palace costumes came and danced in the middle of the hall.

These women in palace costumes are the singing and dancing girls specially raised in the palace.These women will perform songs and dances for the royal family and officials when there are festive events in the palace.Chang Lin and the others had watched too much, and no one cared.One by one sat on the chairs, chatting and joking with others from time to time.

The music is a masterpiece, and the sleeves are flying, and the fragrance is bursting.Slowly, as time went by, all the officials became a little drunk under the emperor's play and wine.

Chang Lin's skills are profound, and this little wine is useless to him.Therefore, he drank wine until the glass was dry, and refused to refuse anyone who came.Afterwards, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.The wine glass in Chang Lin's hand was never empty.

Amidst the joy, Chang Lin glanced at the emperor.At this time, beside the emperor, there was already a woman in palace attire sitting.This woman is dignified and holy, she is Ruan Zhi.Chang Lin has always been very clear about Ruan Zhi's matter.He knew that there was such a woman next to the emperor, who was very fond of her. Although she hadn't officially registered as a concubine, the people in the palace had always been called Yuguifei.

Could it be that today's concubine matter is for her?

Chang Lin is not the only one who thinks this way.An official sitting next to Chang Lin said softly: "The empress next to your majesty is Xinna's empress Yuguifei? A woman lives in the palace and spends every day with her majesty, but she has never held a concubine ceremony. Now that your majesty is so It is also fitting to declare."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, although they couldn't control the affairs of the palace.But Concubine Yugui is nominally one of the emperor's three concubines.With such an identity, it really shouldn't just be a word of mouth, no matter what, there must be a formal concubine, a canonization ceremony.
