- #955 - Chapter 955 Testing
The royal palace banquet was filled with singing and dancing, cups and glasses were intertwined, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has always advocated frugality, but the royal banquets are still exquisite and luxurious in the eyes of others.
The only thing that dissatisfies Baiyunxi is the food, which is beautiful and exquisite.
In principle, the taste should be good. As for Yushan, they are all chefs, so how can it be any worse?
Unfortunately, Zichen Palace is a bit far from the imperial kitchen. Even if the hot food was delivered, the oil would be soaked all the way.
All the dishes became inedible and could only be viewed.
This is a royal palace banquet. What if you have diarrhea? I will kill you on the spot.
Therefore, during the entire banquet, she only tasted a few pastries, cold dishes, and stir-fried dishes without touching them. He also quietly told his eldest granddaughter not to eat the food to avoid getting upset.
Bai Yunxi found that not only did she not eat, but the other married women also picked up beautiful pastries to cushion their bellies.
The Queen, who was sitting upright in the first place, had a straight back and a decent smile. Her eyes swept across the concubine in the palace, and finally landed on Baiyunxi’s ancestors and grandsons for a moment, then silently turned her gaze away.
Bai Yunxi felt the probing gaze, and Quan Dang didn’t know it. He picked up a piece of pastry with chopsticks and took a bite.
The Queen looked at the crystal cake in front of her and called the people waiting behind her to deliver the crystal cake to Baiyun Xi.
The palace maid picked up the crystal cake and walked gently to Bai Yunxi, put the plate down, and spoke warmly.
Your Majesty has given me the pastries as a reward, please use them with caution.
Seeing the cakes that suddenly appeared, Bai Yunxi was stunned. He looked up in surprise and saw the smiling face of the Empress.
The pastry given by the saint is on her table, but for others, it is a rare honor.
After coming back to his senses, Bai Yunxi just stood up when he was stopped by the palace servant, My Majesty said, there is no need to stand up to express thanks.
So considerate? He is worthy of being a saint, the mother of a country, Kuoda.
Even though he didn’t stand up, Bai Yunxi turned sideways and saluted, expressing his gratitude.
Although the queen’s movements were light, in the same hall, the palace maid’s movements were naturally invisible to other people, which made people envious and moved many people’s thoughts.
Lord Bai parachuted into the Imperial Academy and often accompanied him to the palace to discuss knowledge with the officials. This made the ministers think too much. Now even the empress is praising the Bai family so much. It seems that the officials are not generally satisfied with Bai Hanlin.
In their view, Bai Hanlin was a poor scholar, helpless, and in the end he would not be attached to a certain clan. Otherwise, why would he have a foothold in the big dye vat of Kyoto?
Being a lonely minister is not something that ordinary people can do.
Although officials are diligent and like themselves to be honest and brave men, they must be able to enjoy their lives.
Baiyunxi sat there, listening to everyone’s chaotic thoughts, with her head held high.
These people were just jealous that his Xiaowu could win the emperor’s heart.
But what they said was right, Xiao Wu couldn’t do it alone. He had to find an alliance of his own.
Moreover, Xiaowu’s biggest backer is the officials. As long as the officials trust him, the more bitter others will be, the better.
Only in this way will officials trust him more.
The Queen above had been paying attention to Bai Yunxi’s movements. Seeing her unfazed attitude, her affection for her immediately increased.
Although his background is low, he is still stable.
The official sat next to him, so naturally he would not miss the queen’s actions. Seeing her testing Bai Hanlin’s mother, he frowned slightly and ignored it.
Bai Hanlin is a perseverant man, and he uses it quite smoothly.
Although I don’t know if he can withstand the pressure of the clan in the future, but for now, the trend is not bad.
Listening to the thoughts of the upper couple, Baiyunxi picked up a piece of crystal cake and put it into his mouth, chewing it gently.
It is said that the most elusive thing is the emperor’s heart. Now that she heard it, she was not surprised. She had already guessed that the officials wanted to make Xiao Wu a sharp blade in his hand, allowing him to poke wherever he wanted.
But, based on her understanding of her youngest son, this boy is a person with great ambitions, and he will not be willing to just be a sword.
They haven’t been in contact long enough, and the monarch and his ministers are still in the running-in period.
When the banquet came to an end, the officials and the empress stood up and left the banquet. Before leaving, they did not forget to give instructions to go down and let the palace people take good care of them, let the ministers eat and drink well, and speak freely without any restraint.
Who among those who have been immersed in officialdom all year round cannot hear this scene?
The officials are just being polite, but you really dare to open your cheeks and eat and drink?
Even if the officials are serious, the ministers would not dare to stay in the palace and drink unscrupulously. What if they make a mistake while drunk?
If you have that time, why not stay at home and take care of your sweet wife and concubine? Isn’t it more comfortable than this?
Therefore, after everyone respectfully sent the officials off, they also got up and left.
Bai Yunxi took her granddaughter and followed everyone out. The girl was not allowed to enter the palace, so she was all waiting at the gate.
After entering the palace, some care will be arranged by the palace staff.
Seeing the two people coming out, the palace attendant guarding the door immediately brought their cloaks and tied them on thoughtfully. Bai Yunxi expressed his gratitude and gave each of them a purse.
After receiving the reward, the palace people also smiled happily and their tone became more sincere.
Every year at the palace banquet, palace officials like them would be dispatched to lead the married woman into and out of the palace.
Whether you can have a prosperous year or not depends on your luck. If you happen to meet a mean wife, sometimes you won’t even get a penny.
All the way out of the palace gate, Shiliu noticed them as soon as Baiyunxi appeared, rubbed her hands and ran over to help them.
Master, it’s really cold today. It’s probably going to snow again.
Thank you for your hard work, go back and take a hot bath to get rid of the cold.
They had been staying in the carriage. Although they prepared a charcoal basin when they went out, it was probably extinguished by this time.
Don’t worry, Master, we’ve been staying in the carriage and it’s not cold.
Bai Yunxi led Yaya into the carriage and couldn’t help but look back. By coincidence, her eyes met with Mrs. Xie’s.
Originally, when she appeared at the palace banquet, someone started to investigate. Ever since the Empress gave me the plate of pastries, the visiting eyes were like rays on my back.
He didn’t disappear all the way out of the palace.
But these people had nothing to do with her, so they came up to say hello rashly and felt that they were worth a loss. Therefore, her eyes were clean.
When his eyes met Mrs. Xie’s, she could only smile and nod, no more.
After returning home, I washed myself, sat on the Luohan bed, and drank the red bean and lotus seed porridge stewed by Du Shi, and then I felt comfortable in my stomach.
In a blink of an eye, the New Year is here.
Their family gathered together to celebrate the New Year amidst the sound of firecrackers.
There was a thick blanket on the floor, and two children sat on it playing with their toys. In his spare time, Du made many gadgets to amuse them.
The house was burning with red charcoal fire, reflecting the rosy and festive faces.
