In the inner hall, the two people who have always been unusually close to each other have become closer, even Yuxiu, who understands Concubine De's thoughts the most, can't help but raise her eyebrows and peek at the two, guessing how Erfu, who sat on a cold bench in the side hall in previous years, got along with Concubine De.

Even Yuxiu was full of puzzlement, not to mention the Li family who inherited the Erfu cold bench.

In the side hall, although there is also a burning dragon, a charcoal basin is burning, the temperature is pleasant, and there is a fluttering red sandalwood incense, the palace people do not forget to store water for her, and there are a lot of melons and fruits on the table, but listening to the whispering and laughing in the inner hall, Li's face is still as black as the bottom of the pot.

In addition to being angry, Li couldn't help but secretly scold Erfu in his heart for being a slave who couldn't get on the stage, and he was bent on managing and ingenious, doing the work done by those subordinates to please Concubine De.

But I completely forgot that this daughter-in-law serving her mother-in-law is a natural thing, which is called filial piety.

Erfu didn't bother to pay attention to the Li family outside at this time, listening to Concubine De teach her secrets of stability in the palace for decades one by one, and at this time, she absorbed all kinds of knowledge like a little sapling eager to irrigate.

The rise of chatting, this time is not difficult, and even makes her feel that this time has passed too quickly.

At noon, the palace people came in and urged two or three times in a row, and Erfu reluctantly helped Concubine De out of the inner hall, and accompanied Concubine De Niangniang to see the little concubines who were living in Yonghe Palace, and used a banquet. Thinking about continuing to chat with her cheap mother-in-law, but thinking that she would have to keep the New Year at night, she could only sell it pitifully for a while. and Yuxiu waited for Concubine De to rest.

Concubine De and Erfu got along very happily, and thought that it was not easy for the children in the side hall to rest, so she sent the Fujin of the old fourteenth family to rest with the Li family and the old thirteen family, and left Erfu in the inner hall to rest together.

Erfu didn't choose a bed, but he was not a master who was at ease with the situation and touched the pillow, and he was worried that he would quarrel with Concubine De over and over again, so he had to close his eyes and recuperate. Before she knew it, she fell asleep, and when she woke up again, it was already two hours later.

Looking at the inner sanctum, where there are only two palace people as the background board. Even if Erfu is thick-skinned, she can't bear it at this time, and she is busy letting the palace people wait to get up.

Washing, grooming, changing, all busy surviving. Then Elof stared at the various scrutiny in her eyes. The feet floated into the main hall like a meat pad under the cat's claws, just in front of the teasing smile of Concubine Shangde, her face was red and she was stunned in place, and she even forgot to ask for a salute.

Fortunately, Concubine De is not a person who likes to watch people not come to the stage, so she smiled and let Erfu sit down, and then turned her head and gossiped with the daughters-in-law, so that the embarrassed Erfu would not accept all kinds of eye scrutiny.

The winter night had come early, and Erph had just sat up and drank a cup of tea. The palace people came to remind the time.

The Jiaotai Hall in front of Kunning Palace is a necessary place for palace banquets in the palace, and the palace people of the Internal Affairs Office have carefully cleaned it up as early as half a month ago. The doors, windows, tables and chairs are all painted with new paint, shiny, shiny, shiny, and multi-treasure grid is also scattered with carefully selected various objects, from jade carved mountains to small blue and white porcelain vases, which are elegant and quiet.

Although it is an annual Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there are many women in Kangxiye's backyard, so the palace concubines who are qualified to come here are all familiar faces, and there may be two or three newcomers, and they are all small roles of concubines, and some are not even the first palace lord.

The arrangement of the palace banquet is not much different from previous years, it is still around a main seat sitting in the north and facing south, laying down three long tables, and placing independent small tables on the long tables on the left and right sides, divided into palace concubine seats, prince seats, and clan family seats, and those backward small tables are naturally the seats of concubines like Erfu, who let them all go on the side of the jade!

At this time, the table was already placed on the table with a yellow dragon pattern and blue and white porcelain bowls of tea and other objects, and the people who came first sat down according to the rules and grades, and spoke softly from head to ear.

Concubine De is the image of a good person in the palace, and she holds the palace power, which can be regarded as admired by everyone, and the palace concubine of the same rank is also happy to give her face.

Erfu smiled and made a fox with a fake tiger, and then followed the palace maid who led the way to sit on the small table behind the seat of the fourth master, with a low-eyed appearance, which made people feel that he was a rule-abiding person at a glance.

As the fourth concubine, Concubine De is naturally at the front, but it is a coincidence that it is opposite to the seat of the fourth master, and when she raises her eyes, she can see that under Erfu's seemingly obedient and humble appearance, her little hand is restlessly grasping the appearance of the little snack and putting it in her mouth, and she unconsciously remembered her appearance when she was a maid in the Qianqing Palace, and couldn't help but show a faint but reminiscent smile.

Xiao Qi and Hongxuan sat beside Erfu, and naturally they also put food in their mouths in the same way, and from time to time showed an innocent smile to Concubine De, who was smiling gently, which made Li's eyes red again.

Hongyun, who was held in the palm of Li's hand by the same as Xiaoqi and Hongxuan, saw that the two younger siblings were eating at this time, so he learned to stuff it into his mouth, but he was confronted by Li as if he wanted to eat people.

The palace people who could serve in the Jiaotai Hall on Chinese New Year's Eve were all smart people with exquisite hearts, and seeing that there was some unhappiness among the nobles, they dodged away, and even the palace people who were standing behind Erfu to serve also hid with others, making a world near Li and Erfu an empty field.

Erfu raised his eyes in hindsight, and saw the appearance of Li and Hongyun staring at each other, only to realize that something was wrong, but it was not good to hide anymore, so he could only cover his ears and pretend not to see or hear, desperately ignoring the condensation in the air.

Hongyun was really pampered by the Li family, and it was not like Hongxuan had been trained by the masters arranged by the fourth master, and he was used to the second and third of the earth, and he was beaten by the Li family at this time. Seeing that Li was still glaring at him, he ignored Mo Yaqi, who was persuaded to make peace by his side, and waited for Li to apologize to him.

Li is a mother. There is a nail in the eye of Guargarf next to her, she is unwilling to give in, and she is worried that Hongyun will make trouble, and she will be said that she does not know how to raise children, and her brain is faceless, and she regrets for a while why she slapped Hongyun's hand with a debt, but she just eats some small snacks. What's the matter?

Besides, this thing is placed on the table, it is meant to be eaten, and it is all because the rules have become bigger and bigger over the years. Even the dried fruits and snacks placed in front of this banquet became decorations, making her habitually want to stop Hongyun's actions!

The most annoying thing is Guargarf, if she hadn't brought the children to herself, she would have sat next to her and couldn't stop eating. In previous years, Hongyun didn't look at the things on the table. How can you pick it up and eat it.

If Hongyun didn't take those dried fruit candied fruits to eat, how could she slap Hongyun's hand with a debt.

Speaking of which, Guargarf is the most hateful, and Li quickly irresponsibly implicated the anger in his heart to Erf, who was pretending to be invisible.

She doesn't reflect on the failure of educating children, but blames other people, which is really vexatious.

But Erf didn't know that she was annoyed with herself again, otherwise she would have laughed three times. A heartfelt sigh: Sluts are hypocritical!

It's too late, it's too soon.

Although Li's mental activity appeared a lot in an instant, it was like swiping the screen. But I still decided to coax Hongyun first, so as not to make a moth in the palace, taking advantage of no one to pay attention to her movements, I carefully smiled at Hongyun's accompaniment, and pushed the high-footed plate with all kinds of dried fruits and snacks to Hongyun's eyes, which alleviated the embarrassment in front of him.

Concubine De Niangniang was sitting opposite, and she saw the interaction between Li and Hongyun at a glance, although she didn't show it on her face, but in her heart she expressed great dislike for Li's undisciplinedness, and even with Hongyun, who had no rules, she was a little more bored.

When I think of such a big child, I don't understand the truth of filial piety to my mother.

Concubine De felt that Hongyun's coquettish appearance before was disgusting and hypocritical.

The skirmish between Li and Hongyun was just a moment, and there were only a few people who noticed it, and there were all noble people who were wise and self-protecting, and they would not listen to the trivial matters in the houses of others, even if there were some curious people who were gossipy, they would not come over to listen at this time, at most they would be in their hearts for a while.

As Erfu quickly eliminated a plate of amber walnuts and pea yellow pads to fill his stomach, the old man Kangxi, who was wearing a bright yellow regular clothes, had already led his high-spirited, heroic, and outstanding sons to the Jiaotai Palace.

Everyone got up to salute together, and waited until the old man Kangxi led the family of the waste prince who was confined in the Xian'an Palace to sit on the upper seat facing north and south, and shouted loudly, and then everyone slowly got up and sat down half-bowed.

Erfu received a worried look from the fourth master, and secretly felt sweet in her heart, and replied unreservedly to give the fourth master a big smile, and then she sat down to express her admiration and admiration for the emperor's old man.

Banquets, banquets, not only delicious imperial meals, but also exquisite singing and dancing performances, with a palace maid wearing pink robes, like a fish holding a tray covered with a silver lid walked in, the musician behind the screen, also took out the ability to watch the house, bursts of drum music, really let Erfu find a little bit of the feeling of watching the Spring Festival Gala.

It's just that in the Spring Festival Gala this year, there was neither Zhao Da who was wearing a blue muslin worker's uniform selling abduction, nor did he play cheap to the extreme without shoes Hao Jian, only the first-class singing and dancing urine point, and Erfu couldn't show that he was not attentive, after all, he had to give the emperor a son.

As the big dishes were served, the old man Kangxi took the wine glass and began to show that he was a kind elder, called the grandsons of each son's family to come forward to speak, and praised the young sons of several years, and shared a few glasses with several adult eldest sons, and turned his head to talk about the children of the clan family, so that Erfu admired the good memory of the old man.

Although it is an ordinary family banquet, but the old man Kangxi is a prolific father, each son has two, three, five or six children in each family, plus the children in the clan family, there are one hundred and ten in the rough number, Erfu is dazzled, and he can't tell who is who at all, no wonder the middle children of this Hongzi generation, the words next to the Japanese characters in the Chinese characters are not enough to take a name.

Seeing that the old man Kangxi is the lord of a country, he can actually call out the names of those half-grown children who look almost the same one by one, and sure enough, the emperor's brain circuit and brain capacity are not quite the same as her, a little woman who is bent on being well-off.

The wine was hot, Erfu withdrew her eyes from side to side, and focused her attention on the back of the fourth master, and the hot little eyes made Concubine De Niangniang, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but shake her head secretly.

The whole palace banquet, with the princes, the ministers of the clan, and the old man Kangxi praised, lasted until the time of the child, led by the emperor to a group of people in the empty field in front of the Jiaotai Palace, set off a large number of fireworks and firecrackers, and released a large amount of PM2.5 and ended.

Erfu held on to the last bit of spirit, leading the sleepy Xiao Qi and Hongxuan who were held by the grandmother, followed by many concubines, and the movements were neatly mixed out of the Shenwu Gate, and the moment she sat in the carriage, she felt that her bones had been pulled out, and she couldn't wait to spread it out in one piece.

As soon as the fireworks in the palace stopped, the pot exploded in the city, and all kinds of fireworks exploded in the starry night sky, even though it was a curfew, but along the way, Erfu could still hear the sound of scattered firecrackers, sighed a waste, and leaned his head against the padded car wall to pretend to sleep.

The carriage was driven by the coachman from the side door all the way to the gate of the west courtyard before stopping, so that Erfu looked at the familiar courtyard gate, and was a little confused for a while, but Yuhua, who stayed in the courtyard, hurriedly came out to explain, and she secretly scolded herself for being an elm head and followed people into the door.

Since he came out of the palace gate, the fourth master sent the people around him to prepare first, and at this time, hot water, food and other things have been prepared in the main courtyard and the east and west courtyards, so as not to wait for the masters to come back.

Erfu handed over Xiao Qi and Hongxuan to the care of Grandma, and dragged her tired into the clean room, leaning on the edge of the carved bathtub softly, letting Yuhua and Yubing wipe her back and shampoo her hair.

"Where's your master?" When Erfu was drowsy, the familiar voice of the fourth master woke her up as if it sounded in the sky.

Without Erfu's instructions, Yuhua and Yubing fished her out of the bathtub with their hands and feet.

The long wet hair was wrapped in a dry cloth handkerchief, and a fuchsia middle coat was wrapped around her, covered with a loose and fat cotton robe, and half-pushed and half-pushed the fragrant Erfu to the drunken fourth master.

"You can't take a bath in this New Year, and you're not afraid of getting cold!" The fourth master looked at Erfu's sleepy-eyed appearance, and couldn't help but take over Erfu's slender waist, and wiped her long black and blue hair, nagging in his mouth.

"Ye also wash, even if you don't take a bath, you have to soak your feet, this is comfortable to sleep!" Erfu took the ginger tea from the maid's hand with half-squinted eyes, and muttered quietly. (To be continued......)
