Chapter 20 The Qiu Xi Festival (Part 2)

After walking for a quarter of an hour, he stopped behind a palace. Several father-in-laws came out and respectfully saw the nanny walking in front of him. The nanny nodded, turned around and looked at them standing with their heads down and their eyebrows down, and said in a calm and cold voice:

"Tonight, you will be here to help with the drinks."

Li Qing was a few steps behind and stood behind. He saw her pointing Yang Yuzhu, Yu Xiuhe, Huang Ling'er and Wang Shufen from Ding Fang said:

"You four will come to Yonghe Palace to serve."

He ordered Gu Hongqin again, Liu Xiuyu from the Bing Room, and Sun Zhenxiu said:

"You three come to Zhishuang Pavilion to serve."

Finally, pointing at Meng Shuipei, Gu Ruyan and Li Qing said:

"You three, come to Qingfengju to listen to the summons."

Li Qing lowered his head and saw Meng Shuipei standing in front of her suddenly raised his feet slightly and quickly stepped on Yu Xiuhe's feet standing in front of her. Yu Xiuhe screamed "Oh" and swallowed it quickly. The nanny asked majestic:

"What's the matter?"

Before Yu Xiuhe could speak, Meng Shuipei rushed to answer:

"Reply to my aunt's words, Sister Gu did not stand firm and stepped on Sister Yu's skirt."

Gu Ruyan looked up at Meng Shuipei in shock, then looked at the nanny in a hurry, and explained:

"I didn't..."

Meng Shuipei pulled her violently and interrupted her:

"Sister Gu, stop talking, you didn't mean it."

Gu Ruyan broke free from her hand, tears filled her eyes. She was about to speak, and the nanny's eyes shone with a sarcastic light and scolded:

"Shut up! Come here and let me see."

Yu Xiuhe hurriedly stepped forward half a step. The nanny looked down at a stain on her skirt, raised her hand and called two eunuchs over, and ordered:

"Beat this stupid slave and tell Madam Wang that today is a good day. I will lock it up for one night first, and I will get twenty sticks tomorrow and send it to the washing machine as a chore."

Turning his head again, sneered at Yu Xiuhe and said:

"I can't even look at a dress. I dare you to hold my master's things?!"

Yu Xiuhe's eyes widened in horror. Before she could speak, the eunuch next to her had already rushed over, closed her mouth, and dragged it down.

The few people standing were moving quietly, as far away as possible from the people around them. The nanny sneered and stared at everyone, and after a while, she pointed at Meng Shuipei and the other two and said:

"Who will go to Yonghe Palace for you three?"

Li Qing lowered her head and said nothing. Gu Ruyan was about to look up, but Li Qing secretly pulled her. Meng Shuipei respectfully stepped forward halfway:

"Reply to my aunt, Sister Gu and Sister Li are still young and weak, so I'll go."

The sneer in the nanny's eyes became even stronger. She nodded and said "Yes", turning around and saying justice to the father-in-law standing next to her:

"Take them over, stare at them, don't let the mess out."

Several father-in-law agreed and signaled them to follow.

Gu Ruyan's eyes were filled with tears. She looked up at Li Qing about to speak, but saw Li Qing's sharp eyes and staring at her coldly as if warning. She was so scared that she was trembling all over and swallowed her words back, and she didn't even dare to shed tears.

Seeing her stopping her voice, Li Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pushed her gently, and followed her behind the guide to the right.

After taking a few turns, I came to a quiet, elegant and exquisite house. My father-in-law took them into the side hall. Two middle-aged father-in-laws came out and the father-in-law who brought them in was in. He said:

"These two are candidate female officials, and they will follow this place tonight to learn to serve drinks."

The two middle-aged father-in-law agreed and took them to a small compartment behind the house, and ordered with a gentle face:

"Our place is available for backup, you two are here to wait for the summons."

Li Qing felt relieved. For most of the day, he was so tired that his feet were about to break. He hurriedly found a stool and sat down. Looking back at Gu Ruyan standing there dejectedly, he sighed in his heart and greeted her:

"Let's take a break, just remember that it's yours and it's yours, it's not yours, and it's useless to fight. Be more at ease."

Gu Ruyan sat on the stool beside her, with a hint of reluctance on her face and said nothing. Li Qing ignored her and just closed her eyes and rested on her own.

The nanny in a dark blue dress went deep into the palace courtyard. When she walked to a garden, several big palace maids on the opposite side came towards each other and gave in half a step. The nanny smiled and looked at the palace maid walking at the end, and nodded almost invisibly.

The autumn feast in Yonghe Hall is lively.

The emperor and the queen sat high up on the wide hall, and the moon danced wonderfully in the autumn evening. The enchanting dancer in high buns and gorgeous clothes stretched out her sleeves, making the palace feel springy.

At the end of the song, Jin Wenyuan, the envoy of Xidi, applauded hard, and Yang Yuanfeng, the envoy of Han, sat opposite each other, squinted his eyes, and looked at him with a smile. The eldest prince, who was sitting in a row with Jin Wenyuan, looked at Yang Yuanfeng coldly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it in one sip, and the palace maid kneeling behind filled the glass with wine again. The eldest prince raised the glass and pointed at Yang Yuanfeng from afar and said:

"Mr. Yang, have you ever seen such a dance pose in South Korea?"

Yang Yuanfeng bowed and said:

"I have never seen such a fairy-like dance."

The eldest prince laughed:

"You, a rough Korean man, also know that this is a fairy dancing posture, so you are not blind!"

As he said that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. The palace maid behind him was filled with it again. Yang Yuanfeng narrowed his eyes slightly. Just as he was about to speak, the fourth prince sitting next to him put the wine glass on the table, and looked at the eldest prince with a smile and said:

"The eldest brother can't control himself and drink too much again!"

The eldest prince stared at the fourth prince fiercely, turned his head, glanced at the third prince sitting next to him and said:

"You should also teach the fourth brother to change his faults, so don't cause trouble!"

The third prince stroked the jade pendant on his belt and replied with a smile:

"The fourth brother said, the eldest brother has drunk too much again, so you have to control yourself."

The eldest prince was furious, and the blue veins on his forehead jumped. When he turned around, he saw Yang Yuanfeng with his mouth raised, his head raised slightly to look at him. He raised his glass to him and took a sip of wine. The eldest prince slapped the previous cases with a slight staggering stand up and walked towards Yang Yuanfeng.

The queen frowned slightly and looked at the emperor in a blink of an eye. She saw that the emperor's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard it, and he also relaxed his eyebrows and smiled dignified and peacefully.

The eldest prince rushed to Yang Yuanfeng, pointed at him with a finger:

"Everyone says you are brave and powerful. Lin Yunhai is so powerful. Why are you called Yan Luo? Bah! A group of frogs in the well who have never seen the world! If you can bully a few shrimps and crabs, you don't know that the sky is so high? Ah? I'll ask for an order tomorrow and step on your Pingyang Mansion! I'll meet the King of Yan Wang!"

Yang Yuanfeng stood up straight with his back and smiled and replied:

"The eldest prince wants to meet our grandfather, so there is no need to wait for tomorrow. Our grandfather is now outside Shangling Pass. I wish the emperor a long autumn festival. We must be willing to meet our grandfather, so that we can come to this capital as soon as possible to see and open our eyes."

The eldest prince's face turned pale, his fingers trembled slightly, and he turned around and wanted to find something and smashed it over. The emperor's face darkened and his brows frowned. When the queen saw it, she hurriedly smiled:

"Zhang'er, you're drunk! Come and help the eldest prince go down to wake up."

The eunuch who was serving behind quickly agreed to go forward. The second prince stood up and went forward to support the eldest prince and said:

"The emperor is drunk, I will help you to drink a bowl of sobering soup."

While saying that, he dragged the eldest prince to the side hall. The third prince also stood up and said to Yang Yuanfeng with a smile:

"My eldest brother is straightforward and has drunk more. Lord Yang is more grateful."

Yang Yuanfeng hurriedly replied with a gift, saying that he didn't dare:

"The third prince is going to kill Weichen. The eldest prince has a straightforward temper. Weichen has always admired him very much."

Seeing that the emperor was gloomy, the queen smiled and suggested:

"Jue'er said that the arrangements of the Fireworks Bureau this year are very attentive, and the time is almost done. Let's go to Zhishuang Pavilion to watch the fireworks now?"

The emperor's face calmed down a little and nodded.

In the back side hall, the eldest prince shook off the second prince's hand. Madam Zhao brought two palace maids to welcome him. When the second prince saw that it was the person who was serving the imperial concubine, he also let go and stopped the trail:

"Serve the eldest prince well."

Turning around and going out, Madam Zhao hurriedly signaled the two palace maids to go forward to help the eldest prince. The eldest prince pushed them away and staggered to the couch at the corner of the hall to lie down. Madam Zhao took the two of them and hurriedly followed him, putting a few cushions behind him, making him feel comfortable lying down. The Prince frowned and said impatiently:

"Go, pour me a glass of water!"

Madam Zhao signaled the two of them to serve, and hurriedly got up and went to the back to sober up the soup.

Huang Ling'er and Meng Shuipei were behind, following a group of sweaty palace maids. Madam Zhao came in and ordered the sobering soup immediately. The leading palace maids hurriedly took it. Madam Zhao looked around and pointed at Huang Ling'er and Meng Shuipei and said:

"You two come here!"

The two hurried forward, Meng Shuipei rushed to serve the soup, Huang Ling'er raised the rinse bowl and followed Madam Zhao into the side hall. The eldest prince was half lying on the couch, and the palace maid standing next to him came forward to pick it up. Meng Shuipei and Huang Ling'er were rubbing against each other and refused to go down. Madam Zhao whispered:

"Why don't you go down now!"
