No matter how much Wu Lingzhu cursed in her heart, she still responded on her face, "Yes, I will definitely disturb the concubines frequently in the future. The concubines will not be able to kick me out after a long time."

"You kid, you really dare to say that." Concubine Yi laughed so hard, "Just come, I'll prepare some southern food for you."

"That Wu Lingzhu is so disrespectful."

Wu Lingzhu's childish behavior and eagerness to try made Concubine Yi feel comfortable. She also felt that although Wu Lingzhu was younger, she was more capable than Da Fu Jin. After Da Fu Jin married into the palace, she was overly cautious and treated these palaces like them. The concubine is cautious and polite, making it hard for people to pick her wrong and hard for people to get close to her.

Concubine Yi smiled brightly and said, "I like this child."

The corner of Concubine De's mouth twitched, this is her daughter-in-law.

While the group was talking, the princes and princesses also arrived one after another to greet each other.

Seeing that the night was getting dark, the Empress Dowager led a group of people to Qianqing Palace; Wu Lingzhu and Ding Nanny helped the Empress Dowager out of Cining Palace, passed through Kunning Palace and walked near Jiaotai Hall, but they saw Liang Jiugong next to them. Disciple Wei Zhu came up to him from afar.

"I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Queen Mother be blessed with peace and happiness; Concubine Yi, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, and Concubine De be in peace; be blessed with great blessings, be blessed with good fortune, and be blessed by all my brothers."

The Queen Mother raised her hand and said: "Get up and take a bite."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." After Wei Zhu stood up, he lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Empress Dowager, ladies and gentlemen, the two Fujins, and several elder brothers; Your Majesty has moved our family reunion dinner today to Yangxin Hall."

"Why did the emperor change the New Year's dinner banquet to the Yangxin Hall?" The annual New Year's dinner is not only a matter for the harem, but also a banquet for ministers and their families.

Wei Zhu shook his head, "I don't know, this is what the emperor ordered."

"Okay, let's go to the Nourishing Heart Hall."

The Empress Dowager waved her hands and didn't want to go into details; she was not the emperor's biological mother, and she had said that it was just a gift of upbringing; she only got the title of Notre Dame Empress Dowager because she occupied the position of Shunzhi Emperor and Empress, and it was said that her imperial forehead was included in it. The merits of the Empress Xiaozhuang and the Empress Dowager.

Concubine Meng's life in the palace was difficult. Before the Empress Dowager, there was a deposed empress, later Concubine Jing. The only magic weapon for her to be able to live and be stable now is to be calm, steady, not making mistakes and not competing. What's hers is still hers.

Concubine Rong and the other four concubines looked at each other. They all knew the current affairs. They knew better than anyone else what to say on any occasion. The other elder brothers would not even ask. Anyway, for them, today is the most lively event every year. One of the festivals, they can play as much as they want.

Arriving at the Yangxin Hall, Kangxi personally greeted the Empress Dowager, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is here!"

"Meet the Emperor."

"Meet Huang Ama."

The palace concubine A Gege and the prince Fujin all paid their respects, and their voices lingered in the hall.

"Everyone, get up and take your seats. It's a New Year's banquet today. Let's eat and play." Emperor Kangxi stretched out his arm and said, "Empress, my son will help you."

The Empress Dowager moved the hand on the back of Nanny Ding's hand to Emperor Kangxi's arm, and let Wu Lingzhu hold the other hand. Wu Lingzhu sent the person to the emperor's side before preparing to leave.

The Empress Dowager grabbed the man and told her earnestly, "Go and sit with the fourth child. Don't wander around. If you're really bored, come and find the Ai family. Talk to the Ai family and ask the eunuchs and maids to follow."

When the palace is most lively, accidents occur frequently.

"Huang Ma, grandson's daughter-in-law has remembered it and will definitely follow my father. Don't worry!" After appeasing the old lady, Wu Lingzhu turned around and ran to find Yinzhen with a smile, "Master."

Yinzhen pointed to the place next to him, "Sit down, don't stand."

"Hey." Wu Lingzhu walked around the long desk and sat down on the stool next to Yinzhen. Next to Emperor Kangxi was the empress dowager, and on the left were the prince and eldest brother Dafu Jin. The position behind the prince and eldest brother was Yinzhen and Wu Lingzhu, followed by elder brothers, ministers and concubines.

On the right hand side of the Empress Dowager are the four concubines. As for Concubine Niu Gulu, she said she was ill and did not come.

Emperor Kangxi spoke with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother responded with a smile. Afterwards, Emperor Kangxi issued two more New Year's greetings before allowing the palace guests to serve meals.

As plates of food arrived, Wu Lingzhu looked at the half-condensed oil on the plate in front of her and silently clicked her lips. She also looked at the others and saw that, just like the previous year, all the hot dishes had become cold dishes.

"Alas!" Wu Lingzhu couldn't help but sigh. There was still so much cold oil that he had diarrhea after eating it.

Yinzhen squeezed her hand in private and said, "Eat less and ask the kitchen to make soup noodles for you when you go back."

"That's the only way." Wu Lingzhu's eyes were wandering, and he couldn't find a way to deal with it. Spells, spells, couldn't be used, formations, formations couldn't be used. Every little move at the banquet was very conspicuous.

Wu Lingzhu's loss was so obvious that Yinzhen had a slight smile on her lips. Seeing Emperor Kangxi and the Queen Mother using their chopsticks, she used the serving chopsticks to peel off the layer of oil on the surface and added the meat and vegetables in the middle to her bowl, " The bottom part is still hot, so eat it quickly; just push the top layer aside."

With many years of experience in surviving at palace banquets, he knew what to avoid and what small holes to exploit. In fact, Wu Lingzhu also knew after two years of training at palace banquets, but when he saw the face The red and white layer of oily smell is not as good as hot food after all.

Wu Lingzhu took two simple bites, and then he selected some hot dishes for Yinzhen and let him eat them too. Prince Yinzhen looked back and happened to see Wu Lingzhu's movements, so he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

The young couple, one has not yet reached hairpins, and the other has not reached the crown of hair; they are still children, and they look after each other at the palace banquet, and they look like an old married couple.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother and sister, are you okay with using it?"

Yinzhen nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Prince. Everything is fine."

Yinfeng smiled and shook his head, but did not expose it. Everyone came here like this, no one said anything about the other; the eldest brother and Da Fujin looked back at them and looked away. They had no idea about this pair. Only Da Fujin After all, she still disliked Wu Lingzhu being favored by the Queen Mother. Compared with the two, her mentality was unbalanced and often caused trouble. However, in front of her eldest brother, she still knew how to behave and did not talk too much.

Wu Lingzhu picked several more dishes for Yinzhen, and saw that Yinzhen had eaten forty or five minutes before stopping. Looking at the people around him who were still pretending to eat with gusto, he shrank his neck and put his hands into his sleeves. He took out two packs of handkerchiefs and stuffed one pack into Yinzhen.

Yinzhen looked at her in surprise, opened it, and saw that it was a slightly warm cake snack. Each one was small, and it was not a problem to take one bite at a time. Yogurt was placed in the middle. There were seven or eight in total. He turned around. Looking at Wu Lingzhu, I saw that she had already started eating. She tasted two of them with a smile and kicked the rest into her sleeves to prevent the heat from passing away.

The clothes they wear all have horse-shoe sleeves. The sleeves are neither too big nor too small. They are very convenient for kicking things.
