506 Banquet 1

Zhao Yanxun walked out of Jinshen Palace with Huo An and several other eunuchs.

After staying in the granary for a long time, it was inevitable that he would be stained with dust, so he changed his clothes just now.

"Princess and the others haven't gone over yet?"

"Your Majesty, they are waiting at Yongfu Palace!"

Zhao Yanxun smiled and said: "Then go to Yongfu Palace first and make amends with the princess!"

In fact, the time is not over yet. According to the time of Zhao Yanxun's previous life, it was about 12:30 noon.

Walking into Yongfu Palace all the way, I saw that it was very lively, Lin Jingyu and Huang Rongrong were both there.

"Hail, my lord!"

"No gifts, no gifts!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.

He came to Xue Baoyun and said sincerely: "My beloved, I'm late, please forgive me!"

With Zhao Yanxun's words, the dissatisfaction in Xue Baoyun's heart had disappeared.

Xue Baoyun smiled and said: "Could it be that in the heart of the prince, I am actually a little woman who knows no sense of proportion?"

Zhao Yanxun praised: "My beloved concubine is an extraordinary woman!"

Just when the couple was about to chat a little more, Huang Rongrong came closer, took Zhao Yanxun's hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'm all hungry!"

Good guy, Huang Rongrong caused a wave of hatred for herself in front of Xue Baoyun again.

Patting Huang Rongrong's shoulder, Zhao Yanxun glanced at the concubines and said, "Okay... let's go to the banquet!"

"Your Majesty, please come first!" Xue Baoyun said with a smile.

Zhao Yanxun looked at the child being held by the maid not far away, and then said: "Bring the child over here!"

The maid did not dare to neglect, and cautiously came to Zhao Yanxun and handed the infant child to Zhao Yanxun.

The child was sleeping soundly. After being awakened, he just stared at Zhao Yanxun with wide eyes and did not cry.

"Ah ah ah..."

The child waved his little hands, as if he wanted to touch Zhao Yanxun.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yanxun's smile became even bigger. He turned around and said to Xue Baoyun: "This little guy is not afraid of anything!"

Hearing this comment, Xue Baoyun was extremely happy, and then said: "Like father, like son!"

Zhao Yanxun laughed, then hugged the child and walked outside Yongfu Palace.

Xue Baoyun followed closely, and only she, as the princess, could stand beside Zhao Yanxun at this time.

Immediately afterwards, everyone in Yongfu Palace followed and left.

Seemingly unintentionally, Lin Jingyu and Huang Rongrong fell two steps behind, some distance away from Zhao Yanxun and Xue Baoyun.

Huang Rongrong lowered her voice and asked: "Sister Lin, when your child is born, will you also have a full moon banquet?"

Lin Jingyu glared at her for what she said just now, and her words became much more restrained at this moment.

Lin Jingyu was not in the mood to answer, and said perfunctorily: "How long has it been since then? Why bring it up now?"

She had always thought that she was different from ordinary women and would never be jealous.

But when she saw Zhao Yanxun holding the child and having fun with Xue Baoyun just now, Lin Jingyu still felt sour in her heart.

Maybe on the surface she can be calm and calm, but she can't deceive her heart.

"Sister Lin, why can't you mention it..."

Huang Rongrong was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Jingyu: "Okay, don't worry about my business. If you really want to hold a full moon banquet... you can do it yourself!"

This was a casual remark, but unexpectedly it hit a sore point in Huang Rongrong's mind. She had always been worried about not being able to conceive a child.

Seeing this, Lin Jingyu pinched Huang Rongrong's pretty face and threatened: "Okay, okay, you're so sad... Your Majesty will not be happy to see you!"

It was Lin Jingyu who understood Huang Rongrong. Just this sentence made Huang Rongrong wipe away her sadness.

"Hmph...Ignore you!"

After saying these words, Huang Rongrong really quickened her pace and followed directly behind Zhao Yanxun.

"This is really..." Lin Jingyu didn't know what to say at this moment. She felt that it was too difficult for her.

Fortunately, Huang Rongrong did not act like a monster, she just followed Zhao Yanxun quietly and did not steal the princess's limelight.

Everyone set off from Yongfu Palace and soon arrived outside Yuqiong Garden.

Upon learning of his arrival, the officials had already come out to welcome him, and now they all knelt in front of Zhao Yanxun.

Passing the child to Xue Baoyun beside him, Zhao Yanxun stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty... today is a family banquet, so there is no need to be so polite!"

Only then did all the officials stand up, and then left and right to make way for Zhao Yanxun and Xue Baoyun to pass.

After the royal family entered the garden gate, these officials followed.

At this moment, in the corridor outside the main hall of Yuqiongyuan, there were a large number of female relatives. Seeing Zhao Yanxun's arrival, they paid homage to him.

"Hail, Your Highness!"

"Excuse me, everyone..." Xue Baoyun took half a step forward. At this time, it was her turn, the mistress of the palace, to speak.

Only then did the female family members stand up. They all lowered their heads and carefully moved to both sides of the corridor.

With several concubines, Zhao Yanxun was able to enter the main hall and walked directly towards the main seat.

Then the officials entered, and finally their female relatives entered.

Seeing Zhao Yanxun take his seat, all the officials and female relatives were still standing.

"Everyone, take a seat!" Zhao Yanxun waved.

Xue Baoyun, who was at the head of the female family members, also motioned for the female family members to take their seats.

After everyone took their seats, the scene suddenly became quiet, as if they were waiting patiently for Zhao Yanxun's lecture before a court meeting.

Although Zhao Yanxun wanted to keep the atmosphere of the banquet peaceful, it was obviously beyond his control.

"I've called you all here today. It's actually just for a drink and a chat... You don't have to be too formal!"

At the main seat, Zhao Yanxun sat alone, with only Huo An accompanying him.

"This is not the Jinshen Palace, let alone the Yong'an Palace. Don't let anyone spoil your fun..."

This was Zhao Yanxun's opening remarks. After he finished speaking, someone started laughing "haha", which was a great honor to Zhao Yanxun.

"In the past few months, you have worked hard for the autumn harvest and the stability of the people..."

After saying this, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but joked: "Look...it's really not about the business, let's not talk about this!"

"Today, the King's heir is one month old, so I specially asked everyone to celebrate. Let's have a drink first and then talk about it!"

After food was no longer tight, Zhao Yanxun ordered someone to brew some wine to supply to the palace's banquets. He rarely drank it on weekdays.

Most of the people here are people who love wine. After all, these are the hobbies of literati.

In the past, these officials looked down on this kind of ordinary grain wine, but now they are very greedy for the wine in the cup.

At this time, Guan Hetai stood up, saluted Zhao Yanxun and said: "Your Highness is very happy. I wish to congratulate His Highness, so I should give you a drink!"

With this proposal, other officials also stood up and raised their glasses to salute Zhao Yanxun.

Congratulations and toasts to the monarch are the basic operations of a courtier. Guan Hetai just moved a little faster.

At this moment, on the side of the main hall separated by the curtain, the female relatives also stood up with cups in their hands, but what they drank was tea.

Picking up the wine glass, Zhao Yanxun said casually: "Well... we, the monarchs and ministers, will drink this glass to the full!"
