At the end of the banquet, all the princes and princesses started talking, and the atmosphere was lively.
The emperor gave birth to a total of seventeen sons and twenty-eight princesses. Among them, the eldest son, Prince Gong, had the highest status among the princes. His mother was the imperial concubine.
Now the imperial concubine is laughing and talking about something with the queen mother.
Mu Yunsang knew that one of the Queen Mother's cousins, grandsons and nieces was married to Prince Gong as a concubine. Judging from this relationship, the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine were both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as in-laws. It looked like they had a good relationship.
The two of them were chatting and laughing, looking away from time to time in the direction of the wife's seat. When their eyes fell on a gentle woman, their eyes were full of love.
This woman is probably Bai Xiaohui, Prince Gong's concubine.
She is not very beautiful, but at first glance she looks dignified and elegant like a lady. She is gentle and gentle, but makes the heavily made-up Princess Gong next to her look too gaudy.
Mu Yunsang only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, and said to Beichen Mofeng: "How long are we going to sit here?"
This kind of dinner can really wear people down until they are rusty. They are not allowed to laugh, play, misbehave, and even drink wine freely. It is not so much a banquet as it is like being in jail. You also have to appreciate the so-called
She performed elegant ancient dances, and from time to time she also made dignified postures like a princess, nodding and smiling with her sisters-in-law.
The most important thing is that it's very annoying. There are chirping sounds in her ears. She doesn't hate lively places, but the liveliness here is incompatible with her.
Seeing her appearance, Beichen Mofeng probably didn't want to stay any longer, but he could only comfort her: "It's okay to wait until the end of the year and let the old year fall."
"What time is it now?"
He turned around and asked Hai Yu who was waiting beside him.
Haiyin hurriedly said: "Xu Shi has just passed."
It's only nine o'clock, God, don't be ridiculous, you have to stay here like a fool for three hours with the cold wind blowing, three hours of boring dancing, and three hours of noise.
"I went out for a walk and felt bored."
After saying hello to Beichen Mofeng, she stood up, led Haiyuan through the path on the left, and quietly disappeared into the night.
It felt much more spacious after she was out of breath, and Haiyin quickly put the fox fur cloak on her.
"Why did the master come out?"
"Haha, if you want to go back, just go back. Then, if we meet Nangong Lie in the future, we won't have the chance like today."
Haiyin blushed when she was told, and said hurriedly: "Master, you are teasing me again. I don't think I know clearly in my heart what kind of identity Mr. Yangyuan is and what kind of identity I am. No matter what, he doesn't look down on me.
"
"Why belittle yourself?"
Mu Yunsang turned around and looked at Hai You with warm eyes: "Do you think being in the right family is more important than being in love with each other?"
"Is not it?"
Women in ancient times are unreasonable. How can she change those deep-rooted feudal ideas with just one or two words?
That's all, Mu Yunsang didn't bother to say it, anyway, if Haiyuan liked someone, she wouldn't stop him.
With a chuckle, she walked forward casually. Haiyuan followed behind. Seeing that she was walking aimlessly, he suggested: "Master, why don't we go to Taiye Pond."
"What are you doing there?"
Haiyin chuckled: "At that time, I begged my master."
"Oh, let's go then!"
Taiye Pond is the largest pond in the palace. It is full of lotus flowers in summer. It is also the largest lotus viewing place in the palace. Now in winter, the lotus leaves have withered and there is no scenery to see there. But anyway, she
We didn’t come out to see the scenery, we just went for a drive. We can go anywhere.
Only when she arrived at Taiye Pond did she know why Hai Youyang came here.
I saw a huge pool, all covered with ice. Haiyuan was as excited as a child, jumping onto the ice and rolling all over the ground so unhappy.
People who don't know must think Hai Marriage is a lunatic.
Even Mu Yunsang felt a little speechless.
"You said you came here to skate, which I think is reasonable, but what are you doing?"
Haiyin smiled and rolled on the ice a few more times before drinking the heat and stomping her feet to keep warm: "There is a saying in my hometown that ice is the holiest thing in the world. If you are on the ice pile on New Year's Eve,
A few rolls can wash away the bad luck of the past year and ensure good luck in the coming year."
"Haha, you rolled so many times that you almost covered the entire pond. Are you having such a bad time this year?"
"This slave is helping the master with the beating. The master is pregnant, so naturally he cannot be exposed to the cold."
Mu Yunsang chuckled, thinking it was just a superstitious thing and didn't take it seriously.
But I saw Hai You said seriously: "Master, don't you believe it?"
"Xin, okay, but the weather here is really cold. The Taiye Pond is actually so thick with ice."
Hearing this, Haiyun deliberately walked onto the ice and jumped a few times, but because the ice was too slippery, she fell onto the ice unprepared, which made Mu Yunsang amused.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Haiyin heard her laugh, pouted her lips, and complained: "This slave is hurt by the fall, but the master is still smiling."
"Hahaha, it was me who caused you to fall. Who jumped like a flea and fell down?"
Haiyin was speechless, feigned anger and stood up, stamped her feet on the ice, and vented her anger: "I want you to slip me, I want you to embarrass me, I want you to let me be laughed at by my master."
"Hahaha, little girl, come here and help me, I want to go down too."
"You can't do it. It's very slippery, Master. If you throw Master, even ten lives of this slave will not be enough to kill you."
"How did you know I would fall?"
I took a look at the shoes. The lady here does not need to wear flowerpot-soled shoes. She is wearing a pair of brown-red deerskin cotton boots embroidered with bright red peony branches. The soles of the boots are thickly covered with dozens of layers. They are purely handmade shoes.
