The palace banquet is scheduled to start at midnight in the evening.
No need for Aunt Hua to remind them, Mrs. Hu started preparing intensively early in the morning.
In fact, there was nothing to prepare, the maid was all busy.
Aunt Hua has tried her best to teach them the rules they need to learn in the past few days. Time is too short and there is really no time to learn them to a high standard.
But when she thought of what the empress had told others, Grandma Hua felt relieved.
The empress said that there is no need to adhere to the exact standards they have learned, as long as it is acceptable, she has everything.
For the palace banquet at Youshi, even though they lived very close to the palace gate, they set off half an hour early.
When he walked out of the door, he saw Xie Siheng standing at the door with a group of black feather guards.
"Miss Ji!" Ying Er stood behind Xie Siheng and greeted Ji Changying happily when he saw him coming out.
Ji Changying raised her head and waved to him, then looked at Xie Siheng in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Xie Siheng glanced at Ying Er, who dragged him to the left and right.
"Your Majesty asked me to escort you into the palace."
The two maids, Yanyun and Feishuang, seemed to know that today's occasion was particularly important to them, and they worked hard to dress Ji Changying.
A bright yellow pair of waist-cinching support skirts, with water-colored crabapples opening up the sleeves. Her brocade-like long hair was pulled up into a bun with a pair of silver and gold butterfly hairpins inlaid with jewels.
Qiongbi has beautiful eyes and delicate eyebrows. When she speaks, the golden silk lantern earrings on her ears tremble slightly with her movements, giving her a girlish look.
Xie Siheng had never seen her like this before, and for a moment she felt a little familiar and a little strange.
Ji Changying didn't expect that at this juncture today, the palace would still remember them.
"Your Majesty, you are really attentive!"
Zhou Liu was very excited at this moment.
For Yueniang, my mother-in-law, to be so considerate, it shows that she really values them very much!
"Then I'd like to thank you, Master!" Ji Fengyi quickly thanked him upon seeing this.
Xie Siheng smiled and shook his head: "You don't have to be so polite. These are all matters within your duties. What's more, this is not the first time Uncle Ji has met me. Please -"
Xie Siheng responded politely and asked everyone to get in the car.
Under the escort of the Black Feather Guards, the group of people walked out of the alley.
Other carriages along the way automatically backed away when they saw them, staying away from them to avoid offending the Black Feather Guards.
It was also because of the Black Feather Guards clearing the way that they avoided the risk of being stuck on the road.
Seeing the carriages outside moving slowly towards the palace like ants, Zhou's eyes widened: "I've finished watching all the carriages in my life today!"
Madam Hu glanced at her angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about! We'll see carriages more often in the future!"
The guards at the palace gate briefly checked and then let you go.
The carriage walked along the outer wall of the palace for a quarter of an hour before reaching the main entrance.
Everyone has to get off the bus here and walk in.
When they came down, many people had gathered at the door, all looking at them.
"Who are these people? I find them very unfamiliar."
"I don't know, I don't think I've seen him before, but there are black feather guards escorting him in. His identity must be not simple, right?"
····
Someone who had seen their group on Zhuque Street that day looked at them with disdain and said mockingly: "I recognize them even if they turn into ashes!"
"Isn't this the poor relative of the Queen's mother-in-law who has been rumored to be very lively in Beijing recently? She suddenly changed her body and skin. I don't know, I really thought she was a relative of the emperor!"
The words "Empress" seemed to be sensitive words, and Xie Siheng took out the long sword in his hand.
A 'swish' sound was heard in front of the woman who just spoke.
The women around him screamed in fright and took several steps back.
"The palace gate made a lot of nonsense before, for the sake of today's palace banquet, I will give you a warning, and next time I will be arrested directly by the Criminal Investigation Department!"
Xie Siheng looked coldly at the woman who just spoke.
The woman was so frightened that she lost all face. At this moment, she was being lectured like this. She seemed to be able to feel the strange eyes and mocking eyes on her without turning her head.
She suppressed her blush and mustered up the courage to confront Xie Siheng: "Your Majesty Xie's words are so overbearing. I'm just chatting with someone about my family. Is this considered a big deal?"
"You know what you said. I will only warn you this time."
Xie Siheng stepped forward and drew out his long sword, glanced coolly at the second lady of Duke Cheng's Mansion, turned around and left.
"It's really unreasonable! Even in the palace, the emperor has no reason not to let people talk, but a mere outsider can talk more than the emperor..."
"ah!"
The pebbles flew from nowhere and landed on the mouth of Mrs. Cheng Guogong. She screamed and covered her mouth.
"mother!"
Jiang Shuyan quickly stepped forward to support her.
When the second lady let go of her hand and looked at the blood and an incisor in her hand, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
Chuan Qiong snorted coldly and chased after him. He pushed aside Ying Er who was chatting next to Ji Changying. He stepped forward and introduced enthusiastically:
"Miss Ji, please come here. Your Majesty has already given instructions to take you directly to the side hall of Yanfu Palace to rest first. We will go there together when the palace banquet begins. Aunt Chuyu must be waiting in front."
Ji Changying glanced at Xie Siheng who was talking to her uncle's biological father, then turned to look at Chuan Qiong and asked curiously: "Why were you laughing when I spoke last time?"
Chuan Qiong didn't expect that she would still remember this after so long, and her face froze.
He can't say it's because he thinks it's funny because Miss Ji talks so much about horseshit, right?
"It's because my subordinate thought of something funny and couldn't hold it back! Ahem, when did Miss Ji know my master? How long have we known each other?"
Chuan Qiong explained casually and quickly changed the subject, his eyes flashing with gossip on his face.
Ying Er looked a little proud: "If you beg me, I'll tell you!"
Chuan Qiong gave him a disgusted look, "Just play for a while! You're so heartless!"
Ji Changchuan watched this man move towards his sister and felt that he was not a serious person. He came over and squeezed in between the two of them: "What are you talking about? Let me listen too."
Sichuan Qiong: "····"
Even before they reached Yanfu Palace, Chu Yu led everyone to look forward to it.
When he saw Mrs. Zhou, his eyes lit up and he went up to her: "I am waiting here on your Majesty's orders. May I ask if you are the Madam of the Zhou family?"
Seeing the other person's eyes looking at her intently, Zhou nodded: "Yes."
Chu Yu glanced at the other female relatives who were very restrained and nervous, and nodded with a smile: "The men will be led by Mr. Xie, and the female relatives will come with the slaves."
The two groups of people separated.
