On New Year's Eve, everyone is full of joy.
There was a palace banquet in the palace during the day, and the banquet was for some clan members and high-ranking officials above the third rank. Su Yue did not want to attend, but Mrs. Zhang did not agree. She had not attended the palace banquet for a long time, and she went there this time for the purpose. Su Yue, we can't let this girl escape.
Early in the morning, several people were busy dressing up Su Yue.
The clothes and jewelry were all prepared by the princess's house. The purple palace clothes made Su Yue's skin look like cream, and she was so bright and beautiful. The green earrings and hairpin make her look more elegant and refined, and the phoenix hairpin makes her whole person more imposing. In short, she looks good everywhere, which makes Ms. Zhang very happy.
"Our moon is beautiful, no matter what."
Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and smiled, "How can our Su family's girls not be good-looking?"
Su Yue was a little sleepy after being played around with for an entire afternoon, and she finally resisted the urge to yawn. Seeing that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Liu were all wearing pearl jewelry, they also laughed, "I haven't seen my grandmother and aunts wearing pearls for many days since I came back. I thought you didn't like them."
Mrs. Lin readjusted the direction of the hairpin for her, "How could you not like it? It's such a rare thing. We can't bear to wear it casually. It's just the right occasion for today, hahaha."
Mrs. Li also laughed, "We have all agreed that today we will make all the ladies and ladies in all provinces envious, hahaha."
Su Yue was also happy, "Yes, let them be envious."
Mrs. Liu took out a few more hair accessories made of pearls, made some gestures on Su Yue's head, and inserted them into her temples, making her look more delicate.
Li's eyes lit up, "Look, I said Yue'er is suitable. Mother, look at it, how beautiful it is?"
"Hey, where did this little fairy come from?"
Su Yue was amused by her grandmother's exaggerated expression, "Of course she came from the Zhenguo General's Mansion."
"Ha ha ha ha······"
When Su Huan outside the door heard the laughter, he unconsciously raised the corners of his lips and ordered the maid outside the door, "Go and remind the old lady in a quarter of an hour that you can't be late for the palace banquet."
"Yes, General."
royal palace.
The palace is also very lively today, with the atmosphere of the New Year everywhere. The tense atmosphere of the previous two days has been swept away. Emperor Wu, who has not appeared in front of everyone for a long time, is also in high spirits today, because he can finally see him. A daughter. After waiting for several days but not seeing his daughter enter the palace again, Emperor Wu felt disappointed. He wanted to go to the Zhenguo General's Mansion to see her, but Xiao Yan disagreed, saying that his sister was busy and asked him not to cause trouble.
Emperor Wu was helpless. He just missed his daughter, so why did he cause trouble?
Seeing his father's stretched-out neck, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, "Father, pay attention to your image."
Emperor Wu glanced at him sideways, huh, image, he still wanted to show off his image, he hadn't seen his daughter for a long time. He touched the piece of warm jade on his waist and curled his lips. His daughter was still thinking about him.
Officials and family members from each government arrived one by one, and Su Huan and Su Chong also took their seats. Even the female relatives from the Zhenguo General's Mansion have not yet appeared. Emperor Wu became anxious, "Yan'er, why hasn't your sister arrived yet? Send someone out to take a look."
"Father, don't worry, the time is not up yet."
Emperor Wu glared, "You are an elder brother after all, why are you so careless about your sister? What's wrong with sending someone to pick her up?"
Xiao Yan took a deep breath and glanced at Xiao Lizi, who immediately understood and left.
When Emperor Wu saw this, he nodded with satisfaction.
Su Yue followed the female family members of the Zhenguo General's Mansion and entered through the palace gate. Before taking two steps, I met an acquaintance.
"See Princess." "See Princess."
"I've met the old lady, ladies." "I've met the old lady, ladies."
The visitors were Xu Ying and Li Zilong, whom they hadn't seen for a long time. They followed Xiao Yan and were now rising to prominence in the court. They were considered upstarts among the younger generation.
Su Yue smiled and said, "Second Young Master Xu, young Marquis, long time no see."
Xu Ying was still as warm as before, smiling and bowing, "I know the princess has returned to Beijing, and I should have paid a visit long ago. However, there are many things at the end of the year, and it has been postponed until now."
"I know you are busy people now, so I don't dare to blame you. When you are free, go to my third senior brother's place to get together."
"With great pleasure."
Li Zilong also raised the corners of his lips, "It would be even better if the princess brewed the wine herself."
Su Yue also knew that Li Zilong was a good drinker, "Don't worry, little Marquis, as long as you come, I can take care of the good drinker."
"Hahahahaha..." Li Zilong handed over his hand, "Thank you so much, princess."
After a few words of greeting, the two left first. After all, they were women, and it would not be good for them to chat for too long.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Su Yue thought that when she returned home, she would ask Butler Li to prepare more new year gifts for the two of them, and Li Zilong would give him some jars of good wine.
Mrs. Zhang patted the back of Su Yue's hand and said, "These two children, Yue'er is very familiar with them?"
"It's not bad. When my brother and I went to Northern Xinjiang before, the two of them followed him to protect him all the way. They have been through life and death, and their friendship is certainly extraordinary."
Madam Zhang nodded and looked at Madam Liu with some confusion, "Which family do these two children belong to?"
Madam Liu approached Madam Zhang and said, "The one who is more lively is Xu Ying, the second son of Xu Che of Hubu, and the one who talks less is Li Zilong, the legitimate son of Marquis Yong'an."
"Oh~" Ms. Zhang nodded, "They are all good kids."
"Indeed, these two are the best of the young generation in Beijing, and they are not yet engaged, so all the governments are watching."
"Hahaha, it's really good. But Han'er is better," Zhang said a little disappointed, "It's a pity that I can't go back to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year."
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, then coughed twice in embarrassment, "Grandma, let's not stand here, let's go first."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded at her, "Look, you guys, this girl is actually shy."
Mrs. Li covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and chuckled, "We, Yue'er, are also girls. It's normal to be shy when it comes to your sweetheart."
"Oh, second aunt, I'm not shy. Let's go quickly."
Mrs. Zhang laughed heartily, "Let's go, let's go on. If we keep talking, our little princess will be so embarrassed that she will become angry."
"Oh, Princess...Princess...I'm looking for you." Xiao Lizi ran over panting. When he saw the Zhang family, he hurriedly saluted, "I've seen you, Princess. I've seen you." Old lady, ladies.”
"Little plum, get up, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Su Yue called out, guessing that his brother had asked him to come find him.
Xiao Lizi was familiar with Su Yue, and immediately smiled, "It's the emperor. I'm a little impatient to wait. Why don't I urge the prince to come and look for him?"
When Zhang heard that it was the emperor who sent someone to look for Su Yue, her expression suddenly dropped, "Huh!" But she knew that she was in the palace now, and there were many people and she couldn't say anything nonsense. Mrs. Zhang herself was not afraid, but she didn't want to cause trouble to her family either, so she turned away angrily.
