The banquet was held in the Mingle Palace in the harem, but before the banquet, they had to wait for Xiao Jin to pray under the stargazing platform.

After the blessing ceremony, we will arrive at Mingle Palace.

Su Ying didn't go to the observatory immediately, but waited outside for Xiao Jin to go in with him.

They were just about to get warm and avoid the cold wind, when they saw Xiao Jin who was wearing a purple dragon robe leading someone over.

Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying's direction and stretched out his hand towards her.

Su Ying walked over slowly and put her hand on his palm.

Even in the nine cold days, Xiao Jin's hand was warm, and the big palm wrapped her hand in it, and there was an inexplicable sense of stability.

"Your Majesty, the empress is here..."

With the sound of high-pitched singing, everyone present stood up and saluted.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, empress, thousand years old."

Xiao Jin and Su Ying came to the crowd.

"Everyone's family is in peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone got up, the staff of Qin Tianjian came out with red and yellow flags in their hands, and began to dance around the observatory.

After the sacrificial dance was almost done, Xiao Jin let go of Su Ying's hand and said in a low voice, "I'll be right back."

"be careful."

Xiao Jin nodded slightly, and walked up to the observatory with Qin Tianjian.

The observatory has also become an astrology platform, and ordinary Qin Tianjian will come here to observe important astrology.

Almost everyone looked up in Xiao Jin's direction.

The copper bell of "Ding Ling Ling" rang, and there was a buzzing sound in the ear, and the ceremony began.

Su Ying withdrew her gaze, she was too tired to keep looking at people with her neck up.

The ceremony was not complicated and ended in less than two quarters of an hour.

A group of ministers and family members standing below were already shivering from the cold, but no one dared to show any abnormality.

After the ceremony ended, Xiao Jin walked down from the observatory.

"Let's go to Mingle Palace."

"The emperor moved to Mingle Palace."

it is finally over!

Mingle Palace is located in the south of the imperial palace, which can well avoid the howling north wind. As soon as they entered the palace, everyone felt the warm wind blowing towards their faces.

"Everyone, please take your seats."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jin lightly clapped his hands, and the ladies in the palace filed in with hot soup and dishes. Although the cost of today's palace banquet has been reduced a lot, the dishes served here smell extraordinarily delicious.

Xu Shi used to eat mostly cold dishes at banquets, but the bowls of soup served today were still steaming.

What was served first was a bowl of chicken soup that looked particularly refreshing. At first glance, this chicken soup looked like a chicken in clear water, but after a sip, it would leave your mouth full of fragrance.

What this imperial chef cooks is really different, even a mediocre dish can be full of flavor.

The second dish was a cold dish, which was also the hot and sour radish that Su Ying had tasted since waking up. As soon as the dish was served, the hall was filled with the smell of sour radish.

Many ministers and wives and ladies of the aristocratic family frowned, feeling that the smell was offensive and a bit unappealing.

This palace banquet is to be economical, but it is too shabby, how can someone let people eat sauerkraut and radishes when holding a banquet?

"Kacha Kacha"

Just as the ministers and wives looked contemptuous, they heard a crisp sound.

It may be that the hall was too quiet, and the sound of clicking could not be ignored.

They followed the sound and saw the honorable empress eating with satisfaction.

After all, the queen is the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, how can she even eat radishes so deliciously?

Someone picked a piece of radish out of curiosity and ate it into his mouth. After chewing slowly, he discovered the mystery.

This radish is particularly crispy and refreshing, and it doesn't taste very pungent sour vinegar. I don't know how it was pickled, and it tastes very appetizing.

No wonder the empress is so satisfied, it is really delicious.

For a moment, the hall was filled with the sound of biting carrots.

The third dish is a deep-fried mushroom. There are only a few pieces on a plate. The presentation is good-looking, but there is really not much to eat.

I don't know if it's the truth of cherishing only after losing it.

All the dishes served today were eaten by the guests.

They actually think that a small fried mushroom is so delicious!

After a banquet, there are only eight dishes, each of which is not much.

There was a melodious sound of music in the hall, and a woman who hired Ting stood gracefully, and walked lightly to the center of the hall with lotus steps.

The woman gave birth to a round face full of happiness and happiness, with big eyes looking forward and shining brightly, and every smile and dimple was pleasing to the eye.

"The little girl Lian Rong kowtowed to the emperor. Today is the winter solstice. My little girl wants to take this opportunity to present a song to the emperor and the empress. Please don't laugh at the emperor and the empress."

Su Ying was seriously eating the snacks that were served at the end. To be honest, if the skirt was not tight enough today, this food would not be enough for her to fit between her teeth.

With food, drink and free performances, Su Ying had no reason to refuse, "Okay, you play."

Seeing that Su Ying agreed, Lian Rong felt that she was also willing to give herself a chance to perform, so she worked harder.

The sound of the guqin is melodious, but it seems a bit heavy, but the person playing the qin is much more active than the sound of the qin, and those eyes can always send Xiao Jin an affectionate look in the interval of playing.

It's a pity that Xiao Jin was influenced by Su Ying, and he kept his head down the whole time, not noticing those eyes that were about to blink and convulse at all.

That's all for a song, Lian Rong came back disappointed, after all she didn't even get a look from the emperor!

If she can't, others may not.

Many of the well-dressed ladies here are eager to try. God knows how long they have prepared for this opportunity to show their faces.

Next came a dancing beauty.

After Su Ying had finished her snacks, Zhou Qing handed her a cup of hot tea to help her digest food.

She also admired the beauty and Miaoman's dancing posture.

The beauty danced the peacock dance, and every movement seemed to be real.

After dancing to the song, the beauty came to Xiao Jin with light footsteps, took the jug from the maid's hand with a smile and poured Xiao Jin a glass of wine, "Please drink, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jin just ate the last piece of snack that Su Yingteng gave him, when he suddenly saw a face approaching him, his eyebrows twitched.

Then he reprimanded mercilessly, "Back off."

The beauty's face changed slightly, Su Ying sighed, this beauty's face change is really faster than turning over a book, just now she looked like the world is at peace, now it seems like the whole family is about to be exiled.

"The emperor forgives the sin. Yes, it is the courtier who offended the emperor. Please calm down the emperor."

Xiao Jin really doesn't like to get too close to strangers, especially when there is an unfamiliar aura invading, he will instinctively want to do it.

The emperor's expression was very cold, and no one dared to intercede for the beauty.

When the atmosphere in the hall was deadlocked, Su Ying spoke.
