Chapter 234 Palace Banquet

After kissing, Xu Lang touched Chen Danxia's rosy little face, "I really want to marry you home right away."

"Don't think about it, my mother wouldn't let me get married so early. You should wait for another year or two." Chen Danxia said aloofly.

"Okay, I will wait patiently." Xu Lang said in the face.

"When you wait, you must keep yourself clean and not be flirted with the flowers." Chen Danxia said seriously.

"Please believe that I will keep myself clean and never get flirted with you." Xu Lang solemnly promised.

"You know what you are interested." Chen Danxia smiled.

"Would you give me some reward?" Xu Lang asked.

"This is what you should do." Chen Danxia said coquettishly.

"Then encourage me to do better." Xu Lang said with a wink in his left eye.

"Have you not kissed enough just now?" Chen Danxia said with a pout.

Xu Lang licked his lips and said, "It's not enough to kiss for a lifetime."

"Brother Lang, are you going to fight or learn sweet words?" Chen Danxia asked with a raised eyebrow.

Xu Lang pecked her lips, "It's not sweet words, it's the truth."

Chen Danxia laughed, "I made you a pair of shoes and I will give them to you later."

"Okay." Xu Lang sent Chen Danxia home and went in to pay homage to Tao.

Tao looked at Xu Lang with a look of care, "I'm dark and thin, I need to make up for it."

"I will come over to drink the soup made by Aunt Tao when I have time, so I'll go back today." Xu Lang smiled lightly.

"Go back, your grandmother is looking forward to you coming back day and night. Only when she sees you are safe and sound can she feel at ease." Tao said with a smile.

Xu Lang bowed and left, returning to the home he didn't want to go back. Looking at the heroic and handsome eldest grandson in armor, Mrs. Xu burst into tears in her eyes happily. She held Xu Lang's arm and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back. It would be better if she could get married soon."

Mrs. Xu was very proud of her military achievements, but what she cared about the most was his marriage. No matter how much military achievements she had, she was not as good as a white and fat young great-grandson. Chen Mei's eyes coldly swept over her two concubines' daughters-in-law. She was not very proud. She had been married for so long, but her stomach didn't move.

Xu Feng's wife Qin and Xu Shuo's wife Wang lowered her head to avoid her sight. In fact, the Shen Gu didn't really care about the fact that the two concubines had never had children. What she was most anxious about was Xu Chao's marriage. Xu Lang had been engaged after so long, but Xu Chao was first obsessed with Gao Hong, the niece of the Princess of Jiangxia County, and was reluctant to get engaged.

After Gao Hong got married, Xu Chao gave up, but Chen Jingwu was too ambitious. His marriage was never too high or too low, which made Chen Jingmei scratch her heart. Looking at Xu Lang returning in triumphantly, Chen Jingmei was not as happy as she showed on her face. When she heard the news of Xu Lang being seriously injured, she secretly rejoiced that if Xu Lang died in the battlefield like this, it would definitely be a good thing for the Xu family. Xu Lang's existence made Xu Chao and Xu Shengyue useless.

Unfortunately, Xu Lang is a lucky person.

After Xu Lang talked with Mrs. Xu for a while, he went back to Danhuaiyuan to take a shower and wash up. He met Peng Xin in the corridor.

"Cousin Lang." Peng Xin called out sweetly.

"Why are you here?" Xu Lang asked with a frown.

"I'm waiting for cousin Lang here." Peng Xin answered the question irrelevantly, looking at Xu Lang who was unparalleled in front of him with spring eyes, and his heart was thrust and he kept jumping.

Xu Lang's eyes were slightly darker and he walked past her. Peng Xin reached out to grab him, but he didn't hold him. He looked at his departure back, with his mouth pursed, and a sad expression of grievance. Xu Wen walked out of the corner, hugged his shoulders with his hands, looked at her with his lips tilted, and his eyes flashed.

Xu Lang didn't like his servants to serve him in close proximity, and liked to do everything by himself. After taking a shower, he went into the house and unbuttoned the cloth bag wrapped in shoes. He looked at the black upper with silver thread embroidered with kilins and clouds. Thinking of his pretty little face and sweet cherry lips, his mood suddenly fluctuated and it was difficult to calm down.

Xu Lang rubbed his shoes, silently recited the art of war, tried to suppress the thoughts in his heart, wrapped the shoes back into the cloth bag, hugged them to bed and rested. After a long time, Xu Lang opened his eyes, looked at the tent, got up and got out of the bed, opened the beech carved Jiqing's right-angle cabinet, and took out a pair of clean underwear from it.

The next day, a banquet was held in the palace to celebrate the grand prince's triumphant return, and officials above the fourth rank brought their families to the palace to the banquet. The eldest prince Gao Ju was 17 years old and it was time to get married. This time the emperor invited the female relatives to come, and there were also considerations in that regard; those who were not engaged would naturally dress up carefully and show their talents at the banquet, attracting the attention of the two palaces and the eldest prince. If they are lucky, they might become the prince's concubine, and they might also be able to enter the central palace and become the mother of a country in the future.

A girl like Chen Danxia who has been married is enough to dress up without being polite, so she doesn't need to attract attention. Chen Danxia is in her early years and is a person who doesn't like to apply makeup. She just applied a layer of apple flavored fat on her mouth that she had just made for a while, making the lips look a little brighter.

At the beginning of the Si hour, Tao took Chen Danxia to the palace city with Chen Muke. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, got off the carriage, passed the guards' inspection and entered the palace. When the mother and daughter walked into the Guangze Palace where the banquet was held, the back hall of the palace was filled with noble ladies who were still alive and noble girls. The little girls who had not yet settled down were all dressed up brightly.

Chen Danxia's outfit looks very simple and simple. He has an orange embroidered magnolia round necklace, a hanging bun, and a red gold crescent moon inlaid with tribute bead hairpins inlaid with three coral magnolia hairpins on both sides. The wife and noble daughter gather together in groups of three, whispering to each other and saying something.

Tao took Chen Danxia to greet Jin, and then stayed there to chat with Jin and the wife, and beat Chen Danxia to the side hall to play with the girls.

Before Chen Danxia entered the door, he heard a loud laugh inside. When he walked in, he saw a group of little girls rolling dice and playing with two girls turning over flower ropes. Chen Danxia didn't like to go out, and most people didn't know him. Duanhe of the Princess Cheng's palace bent over and painted, surrounded by talented noble girls in Jindu City. They were either laughing or giving advice, and Xu Wen and Deng Ran of Duke Jingguo were also among them.

Chen Danxia believed that he was not very talented and did not plan to join in. He was about to find a corner to sit and have a tea. When Li Yunqian and Zhang Mu'er came, Xu Wen saw it and said loudly: "Cousin Chen Jiu, you have learned to draw since you were a child. What are your insights about this winter snow picture drawn by the princess?"

Chen Danxia's eyebrows were slightly frowned. Is Xu Wen's brain sick? Why did you pull her in? Chen Danxia stood there without moving, and did not look at the paintings and commented as Xu Wen said, and said with a faint smile: "Cousin Xu Wu, I really respect me too much. Although I have been learning to paint for several years, I am still young and have little knowledge. It is inevitable that I will be biased when I appreciate paintings. Therefore, my husband warned me not to comment on other people's paintings at will, so as not to misunderstand me. However, if Xu Wu's cousin wants to learn paintings, I need my advice, and I will reluctantly teach Xu Wu's cousin a few tips so that I can get started as soon as possible, so as not to speak some outsiders and make a joke."

These words were neither humble nor arrogant, and they even stepped on Xu Wen without mercy.

"Miss Xu Wu, it turns out that you have never learned painting. Then you just talked so much about it, but it turns out that you are just talking big." Deng Ran said that he was trying to squeeze Xu Wen, and he was talking to Chen Danxia.

Several girls showed contempt, and pretending to understand was the most despised. Xu Wen wanted to make Chen Danxia embarrassed, so he made an ugly look. Duanhe glanced at Xu Wen and said, "Since Miss Chen is a good person, why not draw a picture and discuss it."

Chen Danxia laughed and said, "With pearls and jade in front of me, I won't show off my skills. Please continue painting. I will not disturb you."

After saying that, Chen Danxia wanted to withdraw. There were disputes in places with many people, so she would rather stay in places with fewer people. The eunuch outside the door sang: "Princess Qingdu, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess, Two Princesses, and Three Princesses are here!"

Five princesses in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes walked in like stars and moonlight surrounded by the eunuchs. The noble girls in the house bowed and saluted, saying, "Greetings to Princess Qingdu, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping, Princess, Princess, and Princess."

"No need to be polite, get up." Princess Qingdu is already seventeen years old. After the ninth day of the lunar calendar, Princess Chengxiang descended, she became the oldest princess in the palace.

The arrival of several princesses changed the situation in the hall. Everyone began to talk around the princesses. Chen Danxia did not approach the front and sat down. After a while, Zhang Mu'er came and went to the princesses to salute, and then came to find Chen Danxia.

"Sister Chen, why are you the only one? Sister Li hasn't come yet?" Zhang Mu'er asked.

"She hasn't come yet, she is so slow." Chen Danxia smiled.

"I punish her with three glasses of wine in a while." Zhang Mu'er smiled.

Chen Danxia curled his lips and said, "We can't sit together for a while. How can you punish her? Let's wait until my sister-in-law comes back and we will punish her again."

"Sister Yan, why are you going back to Beijing?" Zhang Mu'er asked.

"Send a letter and say that you are back to celebrate the festival on the Winter Solstice Festival." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

"I'll be back in eight or nine days." Zhang Mu'er smiled.

The two were chatting. Peng Xin and a girl with a beautiful appearance and exquisitely dressed girl came in. Peng Xin was also dressed in a very beautiful dress. She was wearing a big red butterfly-patterned golden wool on the ground, combed with a cloud bun, surrounded by beads and hairpins on her bun, and was full of pearls and jewels.

Chen and Peng families were in a state of disagreement, and Chen Danxia ignored them and continued to chat with Zhang Mu'er. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Peng Xin and Xu Wen talking. He was surprised. When did Meng Guang take over the Liang Hong case? But it was not his own, and Chen Danxia didn't care.

Zhang Mu'er didn't know Peng Xin, but she didn't like Xu Wen. Seeing her and Peng Xin look like a friend, she was disgusted with the house and said disdainfully: "Dressing up like that, I don't know if I think they are here for the imperial palace to perform."

"In the palace, don't talk about other people's right and wrong." Chen Danxia softly dissuaded her.

"We won't talk about them, and we'll say anything else. Is the box of powder you gave me last time?" Zhang Mu'er asked.

"No, you'll use it up so soon?" Chen Danxia glared at her, "That's a face wipe. You might be wiping your whole body, right?"

"When I talked about this, I got angry. I used it once that day and was attracted by my good cousin. Then I told my grandmother that my grandmother asked me to share the powder for her. I had no choice but to divide it for her. She accidentally knocked over the whole box over." Zhang Mu'er said angrily.

"Okay, don't be angry, I still have two boxes, I'll send them to you tomorrow." Chen Danxia comforted her.

"Sister Chen, you are the best." Zhang Mu'er smiled.

As he was talking, a palace maid came in and walked to Princess Qingdu and reported: "Princess, you can go to the seat."

"Okay, let's go over." Princess Qingdu said loudly.

"Yes." Everyone responded.

Princess Qingdu stood up and led the guy out, Chen Danxia and Zhang Mu'er walked out, and when they were about to reach the door, Chen Danxia smelled a very strong fragrance. Chen Danxia wrinkled his nose, who was you? You wanted to smoke people with such a heavy fragrance fog? Chen Danxia looked around and saw it. It didn't matter and was shocked. When did Peng Xin walk behind her? The intoxicating fragrance came from Peng Xin.

The two of them met, and Chen Danxia pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled. Peng Xin rolled her eyes and turned her head away. Chen Danxia raised her eyebrows, didn't care, and walked forward, but she couldn't move. She looked down and said, "Miss Peng, please move your feet, you are stepping on my skirt."

Peng Xin took his feet away.

Chen Danxia continued to walk forward, Peng Xin followed her. After going out, she didn't walk far. Chen Danxia saw Peng Xin walking big and stepping on her skirt again. Chen Danxia stopped and looked back at her, "Miss Peng, what do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do? I walked well. I wanted to ask you what you want to do? It's inexplicable." Peng Xin said to her.

"It seems that Miss Peng has not learned the walking rules well. She has stepped on my skirt twice. I think this is the case. Miss Peng, I will give in. Miss Peng, please go first." Chen Danxia said with a smile.

Peng Xin puffed his cheeks and said, "Let's go first, get out of here, walk slowly, like a turtle." Xu Wen, who was walking a little in front, looked back and saw that Peng Xin could not step on Chen Danxia's skirt, but instead was revealed by Chen Danxia, ​​and cursed something useless.

Chen Danxia was guarding Gu Xin everywhere, and did not give her any opportunity to take advantage of it. He walked along the corridor to the main hall of Guangze Palace, found Tao, sat down beside her, and looked up and saw the eldest prince Gao Ju and Xu Lang sitting on the left.

After a cup of tea, the eunuch outside the palace gate reported loudly: "The emperor is here, the empress is here."

Everyone stood up and waited for the emperor and Empress Zhao to sit on the throne. Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted long live. The emperor raised his hands and said, "Full your body and give him a seat."

Everyone thanked me and took my seat.

The eunuchs slapped two times, and the music started. The dance girls from the Song and Dance House walked in in bright clothes and danced festive dances with the music. The wine and food came up like flowing water. The emperor picked up the wine glass and said, "The heaven blessed me Dafeng, my son won a great victory at the border, and defeated the invading enemy troops. This first cup of wine toast the sky, two cups of wine to the ground, and three cups of wine toast the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country."
