Chapter 1261: Royal Reunion Banquet

Who knew that she wouldn't even put down her body to please Qiao Xiaoru, no wonder people treated her salty and light.

Gradually, the east side of the hall became more and more lively, when the twilight was thick, the lights inside and outside the hall were bright, Emperor Yonghe was finally coming.

After getting the news, the queen led everyone into the main hall, and the prince also led the men into the main hall, and stood in their respective positions under the guidance of the master of ceremonies and eunuchs.

Qiao Xiaoru took the little moon and lined up almost in the middle, not going forward or backward.

Qiao Xiaoru hugged the little moon, the little moon was still holding her gourd, seeing so many people standing in the dark, it seemed to feel very interesting, looking at all kinds of lanterns for a while, and looking at the hairpins of the ladies on the buns with various treasures and beads, the little finger pointed and babbled: "Lamp and light...... Flowey ......"

Somehow, she caught a glimpse of her father, and the little girl waved her little hands and struggled with her eyes shining: "Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, ......"

At this time, the holy car has not yet arrived, everyone has just stood in line, and they are still talking and laughing quietly, but the voice of the little girl is not so obvious.

Qiao Xiaoru couldn't cry or laugh, took out a very small box from her arms, took out half a steamed soft and crispy snack from it, the kind that melts in her mouth, broke a small piece and stuffed it into her mouth and whispered: "Little moon, don't talk, let's go find my father later." ”

"Daddy, Daddy!" With food in her mouth, Little Moon also stopped, called twice and concentrated on using the two newly grown little teeth to deal with the snacks in her mouth.

At this time, the holy car arrived, and everyone knelt down to take the car, and Qiao Xiaoru also knelt down with the little moon in his arms.

Emperor Yonghe laughed loudly and said, "Get up!" He said with a smile: "For the New Year, this set will not be prosperous, so that you and I will not be comfortable." It's all my own family, it doesn't have to be like this! ”

Everyone smiled and said yes, get out of the way, Emperor Yonghe walked over, and followed one by one unhurriedly.

Emperor Yonghe sat down and said, "Sit down!" And they went to their respective places.

Qiao Xiaoru was at the same table with several princesses and princesses of the county, in the third row, which was a relatively high position.

There are a total of three tables in the first row, one of which is particularly golden and huge, which is naturally the throne, accompanied by the queen and the eldest princess.

At the table on the left is the crown prince leading the princes, plus a Lu Zhan; The table on the right is the palace concubine led by Xiao Guifei.

The second row of four tables sat the crown princess, harem concubines and decent nobles, several concubines, and male and female elders in the clan.

The third row is the princess, the princess of the county, and the men and women of the county prince titles in the clan.

There are two more rows further back, each with four tables.

The tables were quite large, with a considerable gap between each table, and the main hall was not very large, so it was almost full.

The temple was also as warm as spring, and there was no charcoal fire. There are all kinds of flowers, such as kumquats, peonies, orchids, herbs, begonias, daffodils, etc.

Above is a glass crystal lamp, the carving is complex and huge, the shape is like a modern Western large crystal lamp.

The difference is that each of the small lamps that make up is lit by candles, not installed bulbs.

Most of this candle is specially made with some special method, which is exceptionally bright, reflecting the white glass crystal, dazzling.

At the front of the feast, there is a platform more than one meter high, and there is a long hanging curtain behind it, which is obviously a platform for performing singing and dancing programs.

Qiao Xiaoru listened to the cousins at the same table laughing and talking, saying that tonight will not only have singing and dancing, but also juggling performances and magic tricks, which is very exciting.

Qiao Xiaoru casually expressed her expectation and interest, but how to look at the situation and layout in this hall felt familiar.

Epiphany: Isn't this the scene of the Spring Festival Gala seen on TV every year......

It's just that there are more seats at the Spring Festival Gala, only the front tables are round tables, and the back are rows of audience seats, and here are all round tables, and dinner is included......

Qiao Xiaoru suddenly had a feeling of ridicule, Emperor Taizu, his old man is really - talented!

Except for himself, no one else could have designed such a hall.

Because in which great hall is the throne not high up and separated from the people? is the only one, the stage where the artists perform is actually higher than the throne, which craftsman dares to do this kind of design, he doesn't need to be judged at all, he can directly pull it out and cut off his head.

The Mangong leaned over and didn't know what to say to Emperor Yonghe, Emperor Yonghe nodded, and the Mangong glanced at the person who was responsible for arranging the banquet in the distance, and then quickly dressed up in rose-red palace maids' uniforms and dressed up palace maids served the food on a table like flowing water.

Soon, the aroma of steaming various foods spreads.

Emperor Yonghe said a few opening remarks with a smile, and politely greeted the elders in the clan, where did the elders dare to stand with the elders in the front of the Son of Heaven, and they all stood up and agreed with a smile.

Together, out of respect, everyone else stood up one after the other.

Emperor Yonghe raised his hand again and again to order everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "Uncles and aunts don't need to be like this, tonight's family banquet, you don't need to pay a lot of attention, please sit down, please eat." ”

"Yes, yes, the emperor invites ......" Everyone sat down again.

Qiao Xiaoru couldn't help but glance in the direction of Emperor Yonghe, and said in his heart that being an emperor is really tiring, there is no family, only monarchs and ministers.

He didn't know how many words he said tonight, "his own family", she believed that he really thought this when he said this, and believed that other people could more or less accept this true meaning, but it was still impossible for anyone to take it seriously.

Emperor Yonghe raised his chopsticks, and everyone raised their chopsticks one after another.

After eating and drinking, everyone was really relieved, and there were people at each table laughing with each other.

The performance on stage has begun, soothing singing and dancing, singing the praises of peace and prosperity.

The gourd in Xiao Yue's hand was easily coaxed, and she turned her eyes to a table of delicacies.

Although Qiao Xiaoru fed her at home, after all, after such a while, she smelled the fragrance of food, and this dish was placed on a particularly fresh and beautiful plate, and the little girl "Eat, eat!" Yelling, waving his hands and grabbing it.

It's just that her two small bean-like teeth can't deal with these dishes, and a palace maid has already brought a bowl of egg custard, and Qiao Xiaoru feeds her in one mouth, so it stops.

No matter how good it is on the table, it can't compare to what is on the lips.

When the eldest princess Li saw this, she smiled and said, "Cousin and sister, this is too hard, it's better to let the palace maids take it out!" ”

In this hall, except for those present, the servants are all palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and the maids and grandmothers who come with them are all in another place.
