Chapter 416: Five Courtyards (please vote for the third update)(1/2)
At the beginning of Youchu period, the lamps were turned on, and the lights inside and outside were brightly lit.
The clan's wife, who came to attend the Lantern Festival banquet, has almost arrived.
The clan daughter is the county head or above, and the clan daughter is the princess of the country or above.
The ladies from Prince Yu's Palace and Prince Gong's Palace are the only three exceptions.
There are fewer people than expected.
In Prince Kang's palace, no women came over.
A total of five people came from Prince Heshuo Fujin, Prince Xian Fujin, Prince Jian Fujin, Prince Zhuang Fujin, Prince Yu Fujin, and Prince Gong Fujin.
There are four kings of Duoluo County, Wang Fujin of Xin County, Wang Fujin of Ping County, Wang Fujin of An County, and Wang Fujin of Xi County.
Prince Duoluo Shuncheng passed away, and the successor king was chosen, but the official decree had not yet been issued, so no women came over.
There are two Mrs. Baylor, three Mrs. Beizi, fourteen people including the Zhen Guo Gong and Fu Guo Gong's wives, and eight people including the princess and the county head.
In addition, there are three elder ladies from Prince Yu’s Palace and Prince Gong’s Palace.
Then came the Queen Mother and the two concubines.
Six concubines.
Crown Princess.
Four princes, Fujin.
Six princesses.
There were less than sixty people in total.
In addition, there are about two hundred people accompanying him.
The banquet is located in Qianzun Hall, east of Danbo Weide Palace.
It is a house with three rooms in width and two rooms in depth, with no partitions.
The queen mother's seat is at the top, and the two concubines are on the left and right. They are all single seats.
The other women's rolls are arranged in east and west rows, with two people per seat.
The order in the east is arranged according to the title. Among those with the same title, the order is according to the elder and the younger.
To the west, Concubine Hui is the leader, followed by three concubines and two concubines, followed by the Crown Princess and Prince Fujin, then the Princess, and then the three elder brothers, the princess, the county master and other eldest daughters.
The position of the Crown Princess is below that of the concubines.
Shu Shu felt quite surprised.
When we were in Ningshou Palace before, the Crown Princess was right next to the Queen Mother.
Immediately I realized that this was because of "rituals".
The honor of a princess comes from the prince, but she cannot be rude when facing the emperor's harem.
As long as she is a concubine of Kangxi, even if she is a concubine, she is still the prince's concubine.
Therefore, when she was in Ningshou Palace, the Crown Princess was not seated properly and was not in her right position.
Not only for the Crown Princess, but also for all the princes Fujin.
The dignity of status is respect and inferiority, and etiquette is etiquette.
Therefore, the Crown Princess sat under Wei Concubine and Zhang Concubine, and sat at the same table as San Fujin.
The four lucky Jins and the fifth lucky Jins were seated at the same table.
Shu Shu and Jiu Gege sat at the same table, and their sisters-in-law looked at each other and smiled.
The banquet was mainly a full table, with various kinds of dumplings, plus pots and several cold dishes.
The girls all came after dinner, and more people were looking at the dishes at the table, so not many people were doing anything.
Even if Shu Shu is greedy, she will not be presumptuous on this occasion.
She just followed the crowd and took a few bites of the hot pot.
Most girls choose this way.
Finally, the glutinous rice balls were served.
Shu Shu smiled when she saw the situation in the bowl.
Yesterday, the manager of the imperial kitchen personally went to find Brother Jiu, just for this reason.
Today's glutinous rice balls are yellow and white in color.
It is small and much more delicate, almost like a quail egg.
Six pieces in each bowl.
I don’t want to guess, it must be different fillings.
The fillings inside are all sweet.
Three jams, hawthorn jam, apple jam, and peach jam.
A kind of nut, walnut and sesame.
A kind of bean paste.
The remaining one is filled with milk cake.
Shu Shu ate with satisfaction.
I actually forgot about the milk cake.
This can not only be used to make dumpling fillings, but also steamed bun fillings.
Add egg yolk and it becomes custard bun.
Jiu Gege, who was standing by, was also satisfied and said in a low voice: "Isn't this a misappropriation of Sister-in-law Jiu's recipe? How bold is that?"
Shu Shu said: "I also read it from the notes of predecessors. This is a food that existed in the Song Dynasty. Besides, I didn't dare to use it directly. I specifically asked your Ninth Brother..."
It was Shu Shu's first time to attend the Shangyuan Festival banquet, but Jiu Gege had attended it several times.
She said: "The list of banquets is the same every year. Since the Lantern Festival is also made with pralines, Khan Ama must have given the order this time, otherwise they would not dare to come up with new tricks."
Shu Shu smiled.
From this point of view, the future Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival rituals will have a direction.
It is actually relatively simple for children to coax their parents.
The royal family is no exception.
All you want is the love of your children.
Parents also seek a sense of presence.
Then use some thought to coax.
When the table was removed and fresh and dried fruits were served, there was movement in the room.
Everyone started talking and laughing.
Familiar women gathered together in twos and threes to chat regardless of their seating arrangements.
Waiting to watch the fireworks feast outside.
Various royal palaces have many granted gardens around Changchun Garden, and other princes of Baylor also have many granted lands.
The area surrounding Changchun Garden for more than ten miles is a land given by the emperor.
So when everyone comes here, they don’t worry about returning to the city.
Shu Shu thought of Ah Mou, and there was no other courtyard around here.
She leaned over and took Madam Bo's hand and whispered: "We'll be separated soon. Where will Ah Mou go? Is he going to the garden of Prince Shuncheng's Mansion?"
There are no female students coming to the Shuncheng Palace today, and I don't know if it is convenient there.
Mrs. Bo nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, your fourth uncle is in the garden now."
The person Shu Shu calls his fourth uncle is Mrs. Bo's elder brother, who has inherited the title of Prince Leerjin from Shushun County, and is also Shu Shu's cousin-in-law's Ama.
Although he lost his title because of the "Three Feudatories Rebellion", the title of county prince was not transferred and was still passed down among his sons.
It was bad luck at this time that three of the prince's sons died in a row, and now a fourth one was reported.
After hearing this, Shu Shu felt relieved and whispered: "Ah Mou, our master has also talked about building a garden. He will look for a place nearby later and we can build one too..."
Mrs. Bo warned: "Don't think that what comes out comes one after another. You must follow the rules so as not to be talked about. Even if you want to practice, you must endure it. Wait until the prince in front makes a move. You can ignore the gossip outside.
, but the royal family’s rules of age cannot be messed up.”
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mu."
Mrs. Bo added another instruction: "With the Queen Mother, you don't have to compete with Wufujin and Jiugege..."
Before my niece got married, she was naturally the most favored person in the family, but this happened at the same time.
