As an annual grand event for the Yan court, the New Year's Eve banquet can be described as a national carnival.
Lanterns are paraded through the streets, lions and dragons are danced, children wear new clothes and hats, and run through the streets holding candy figures and paintings.
On such lively and festive days, the important officials in the capital would also ride in fragrant carriages and BMWs, passing through Zhuque Street in the center of the city and going straight to the numerous palaces at the end of the long street.
Along the way, people cheered and played gongs and drums to clear the way. Young ladies and ladies often raised the curtains of the carriages and sprinkled copper coins, attracting countless poor people to rush forward.
As another major event in the book after General Yan’s birthday banquet, Xiao Xiruo’s memory of this banquet is very clear.
It’s not about how good the author of the original book is, but according to the heroine Yan Moqing’s timeline, this New Year’s Eve banquet is a small climax of the novel, and it is Yan Moqing’s first show of defiance in the book.
According to the plot of the original book, Yan Moqing gained the trust of his grandfather at the birthday banquet, and within a few days of the banquet, he cleaned up the women of the Yan family one by one.
Because of her series of outstanding performances, the male protagonist Feng Yehan said that this woman had successfully attracted his attention, so he began to send people to observe her.
It doesn't matter if you don't observe. The more you observe, the more interesting this woman becomes. Not only does she have excellent medical skills, but she also understands the art of war and knows the current situation. She is simply a treasure girl!
So how do we let everyone discover this treasure girl?
Of course, give her a banquet, arrange a conspiracy for her, and bring one or two vicious sisters as villains...
In short, he shined in the talent competition, then inexplicably saved the car, and then showed off his medical skills in a suddenly triggered plot, fighting side by side with Feng Yehan for the first time.
The plot was so lively that it was difficult for Xiao Xiruo not to remember.
But isn’t it difficult for her now?
No, she is still difficult.
Because Yan Moqing, the heroine, ran away...
The key is that you still don't know where she went.
So will she still come to the banquet like in the original book? Will she show her true face at the banquet, and then make Feng Hua never forget it and make Feng Qi regret it?
Xiao Xiruo really doesn't know.
So when Xue Xue and others brainstormed ways to dress her up and asked her opinion several times but got no reply, she had been thinking about it seriously.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
Following several calls from Bai Zhi, Xiao Xiruo finally came back from her thoughts.
The moment she saw herself in the mirror, she finally understood the difference between a handicapped person and a big shot.
Xue Xue and others are handicapped.
Classmate Bai Zhi is the boss.
Snow is heavy on the branches, and the moon is bright in the sky.
In the Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother Hua was holding the hand of her fifth niece with a smile, looking at her carefully with a pair of phoenix eyes.
The more I see this, the happier I become.
They all say that Suyi is the most like her, with skin as thick as gelatin and eyebrows as distant as mountains. Look at this gorgeous palace dress in Yunmen's light green body embroidered with green calyx. It is simply tailor-made for their daughters.
"Aunt, is Suyi good-looking?"
After turning around obediently in front of her aunt, the smile on Hua Suyi's face returned to its original state.
So what if the puppet emperor wants to kill her?
She is not a queen, how can she always be by his side?
My aunt said that she would only rise to prominence in the future and become the new emperor's main queen.
As long as the Hua family is here, she will be the most dazzling woman in the capital.
"It's beautiful. The daughter of the Ai family is the most beautiful!"
Queen Mother Hua smiled, but still did not forget to whisper:
"Go ahead, let the people in the court see that the daughters of the Yan family, the Li family, and the Xie family are all the foils of our daughters. Only the girls of our Hua family can be called the most beautiful country in the world.
The color is heavenly and fragrant.”
"Don't worry, aunt, Suyi understands."
As a much-anticipated feast in Dayan, the New Year’s Eve banquet will be held in the Tai Chi Hall.
A long red carpet was rolled out from in front of the palace gate, with rituals and music singing, cheers bursting out, and fireworks lighting up the night sky, which also lit up Dayan's most prosperous appearance.
Feng Yehan and General Yan reined in their horses at the same time in front of the palace gate, and the two families naturally came together.
The female members of the Yan family were all dressed up, and they were always looking furtively at this prestigious Night King.
Coincidentally, Feng Yehan was also looking at them at this moment.
It's just that there is always an unknown doubt in this kind of observation.
No.
There is no one he is looking for here.
But who is he looking for?
Feng Yehan felt that he had been so abnormal recently.
"Fire trees, silver flowers, New Year's Eve banquet, it's another year in the blink of an eye, isn't it? But how can the splendor and prosperity of this capital city shine through the cold weather and bloody storms at the border?"
Passing by many palaces, General Yan took a look at Tianqiong Tower and Taiye Pond, but he could never forget the miserable wind and rain at the border.
Compared with his brother Xiao Jing, he is really not doing his job properly this year.
"The capital does not know the hardships of the border. If they could know, Dayan would not be in the state where it is now with an empty treasury and numerous factions."
Feng Yehan slowly came back to his senses and accepted these words with a gloomy look.
Now that the Hua family has transferred to Prince Gong's palace, the already fragile balance between the DPRK and the Central Government has been broken again.
If it takes as little as three days or as long as one month, there will be trouble in the capital.
But until now, his men haven't found out anything.
There are still not enough manpower...
Feng Yehan was deep in thought when General Yan suddenly mentioned Xiao Xiruo.
"By the way, you don't know yet, right? The big restaurant in the city that has been heavily renovated and publicized recently is actually the property of that girl Xiruo. She even specially handed over a letter, asking me not to help her look at the place, but to wait.
People are here to cause trouble."
"Did she really say that?"
In the Yangxin Hall, a young man wearing a black dragon robe raised his eyebrows slightly, and his peach blossom eyes looked puzzledly at Shen Mian, who was restrained for him.
"Isn't that right? Bai Zhi said that the imperial concubine has a good brain and is using the big restaurant to fish. I heard that a short-sighted guy went there yesterday and was defrauded of a lot of money by those gangsters from the Xiao family.
.This is not over yet, they also threatened people not to reveal the details of the big restaurant, and even welcomed them to bring new customers to destroy the place."
Shen Mian thought for a while, then suppressed the twitching of the corners of her mouth and said:
"The imperial concubine also said that if they could find more victims, she would give them some money..."
The emphasis is on publicity!
If you are the only bully who suffers the consequences, why not bring everyone else together to suffer the consequences?
It has to be said that Shen Mian made Feng Wuyan laugh out loud as soon as he said these words.
Playing a long game to catch the bully?
For a moment, he couldn't tell the difference between the sick guy and the troublemaker. Who was the bully?
It's obviously a soft little rabbit, but why is it so full of bad things?
Feng Wuyan felt that this was not enough, so he decided to ask Shen Mian to send more people to help publicize it, so that Bad Bunny could become more hateful.
At the same time, a certain rabbit appeared outside the Tai Chi Hall in a gorgeous ceremonial procession.
When everyone thought that she would stay in bed to recuperate and miss the New Year's Eve feast, she stood at the door of the Tai Chi Hall with her small notebook holding a grudge.
Then, with lightning speed, I caught the first lucky goose of the day.
