The Reborn Wife is Farming

Mu Yangling nodded fiercely, she should be the most relaxed of all, it's just a palace banquet, a group of female relatives are together, at most gossip, can't she just eat quietly?

But Qi Haoran's words shattered her sweet dreams when they set off in the afternoon, and Mu Yangling asked loudly, "What did you say? The emperor asked questions? Why did the emperor ask us?"

Qi Haoran patiently explained: "The emperor may not necessarily ask you questions, but it is always good to be prepared. After all, he specially asked us to come back. He has already met me, and he might ask you a few words, so At that time, you should be more cautious and don't say something you shouldn't say."

Mu Yangling breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought we must go to see the emperor. Isn't he busy for the New Year's Eve? He must have no time to specially summon us."

Now Qi Haoran was surprised, and said blankly: "Who said the emperor would specially summon you?"

Mu Yangling glanced at him, "Didn't you just say that?"

"Wait," Qi Haoran stopped in his tracks, and said seriously, "I only said that the Holy Majesty might ask you questions, but I didn't say that he would specially summon you?"

"How do you ask questions if you don't summon them?"

"Aren't we going to the palace banquet? The emperor might ask a few questions when he thinks about it, in front of so many people, so I asked you to be more cautious."

"..." Mu Yangling hesitated: "Maybe I misunderstood at the beginning, isn't the palace banquet separate? Shouldn't our side be presided over by the queen? Will the emperor also come to the women's side?"

Qi Haoran looked at Mu Yangling for a long time, took her hand, turned around and walked back, saying: "Forget it, you should call the doctor, just let my sister-in-law go with me."

Mu Yangling stood still, and pulled him back with a pull of his hand, "Be clear, what's going on?"

"The palace banquets of the Great Zhou Dynasty have never been separated. You are the former dynasty. Isn't this common sense in the officialdom? Even the back house of the seventh-rank county magistrate knows this. Your husband and I are fourth-rank generals. As his wife, why don't you know?" Qi Haoran accused.

Mu Yangling was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up and said, "No one told me, how would I know? And don't you pay attention to whether men and women give or take each other? Why do men and women mix together for palace banquets?"

In the end, Qi Haoran dragged Mu Yangling into the carriage. He wanted to keep Mu Yangling, but Mu Yangling refused to do so. It is a rare opportunity to witness a historical palace banquet. Why did he give up?

Qi Haoran could only temporarily supplement her with a lot of common sense in the carriage.

In fact, the palace banquets in the past dynasties are not very strict, except for those specially for the previous dynasties. During major festivals, they are all held in the harem, where officials and their families enjoy the same stage.

Not to mention the current dynasty, the previous Tang Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, the annual palace banquets were much more open than the Great Zhou Dynasty, and if scholars visited the garden, if they accidentally met the princess in the imperial garden, it would be harmless to make fun of it, of course, That was in the early and middle Tang Dynasty, and it became more rigorous in the later Tang Dynasty. Palace banquets were separated from men and women, and even if they were held in the same garden, there would be a screen between them.

But when it came to Dazhou, it has been restrained in the past few decades. It is said that during Sejong’s time, everyone entered the garden in the morning, and there was a running water table on the table in the palace. Sometimes they would change into casual clothes and have fun with the officials, and it would be lively until the evening, when everyone sat at the table, and after watching the song and dance performance, they would go back to their respective homes to watch the New Year. At that time, the palace banquet was still scheduled for the New Year’s Eve.

It was only during the reign of Emperor Gaozong that the date was changed to the 29th day of the new year. Since then, this date has been fixed, and the program has increased and increased in the middle of the program, and the scale has also varied.

When it came to Emperor Jingyan, although he loved to play, he was always well-behaved at the New Year's banquet, and he would never cheat the censor to catch him.

Qi Haoran whispered various rules in Mu Yangling's ear, and he didn't feel relieved until she promised again and again that she would follow him and his sister-in-law closely.

Qi Haoran hugged his wife and sighed, "I don't know if it's right or wrong to bring you into the palace."

"Of course it's right," Mu Yangling said immediately, "I can still protect my sister-in-law all the time, but I can't let you, a big man, stay by my sister-in-law's side?"

Qi Haoran curled his lips, "Isn't sister-in-law riding in a carriage alone now?"

"That's not why you dragged me up. If it weren't for you, I would have been in the same car with my sister-in-law."

"Yes," Qi Haoran said slowly, "I shouldn't have dragged you up to teach you those rules..."

Mu Yangling immediately squeezed his shoulders to please him, and Qi Haoran immediately spread his legs and feet like an old man and said, "Don't just pinch your shoulders, just beat your legs too."

The two quarreled all the way to the gate of the palace, and got out of the carriage after checking the signboard. At this time, there were already many people waiting outside the gate of the palace.

Mu Yangling looked at it and sighed, what a longevity, he still has to come to the palace banquet at such an old age.

Qi Haoran followed her gaze, and said: "That is the family of the rich and powerful, some are the old matriarchs of the family, some are the wives of the family, and the wives of the six ministers will also come, and they are not too young."

"What about the mother of the six ministers?" Mu Yangling asked curiously.

"Those who are in good health will come naturally, and those who are not good will ask for leave, but generally they will choose to attend. After all, it is an honor."

Although there are quite a few people who want to enter the palace, they are all cultivated people, the young give way to the old, and the small officials give way to the big officials, there are not many people left outside.

Although the Qi family wanted to enter the palace with Qi Xiuyuan's second-rank officials, Qi Feng backed down with a wink, and entered the palace with the third-rank officials.

Mu Yangling walked by Li Jinghua's side, and Wu Shi and others followed everyone to Changle Palace where the palace banquet was held.

Although Mu Yangling didn't look around, she occasionally turned her head to look at the scenery on the road, which was much more leisurely than other people on the road, while Wu's forehead was sweating from nervousness, and she walked away without squinting. Behind Qi Feng, he had no time to take care of Li Jinghua and Mu Yangling who were on the side, so naturally he didn't notice Mu Yangling's distraction.

Li Jinghua was also a little nervous at the beginning, but when a large group of people walked together, she didn't feel nervous anymore. Only then did she have time to look at Mu Yangling, who was looking at Gong with sparkling eyes. The architectural scenery in the middle quietly pinched her hand.

Mu Yangling turned his head and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not ashamed to look around."

"I know you are not ashamed, but you are also a little nervous. It is always right to follow the crowd."

Mu Yangling thinks about it, and immediately learns that everyone lowers their heads slightly and concentrates on looking at the position three inches in front of their feet. Sometimes they reach out to support Li Jinghua, and knead her waist twice. Li Jinghua is shocked, just Feeling a soft and warm air flow spreading at the waist, the stagnant swelling and soreness from before disappeared immediately.

Li Jinghua felt relieved, then blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Qi Haoran walked in front, looking back at them from time to time with concern, he couldn't help frowning when he saw this, he stopped and walked over and said, "How about I go to the little eunuch and ask for a ride?"
