Begin to make new wine, and start to fatten up crabs.

The crab tasting feast is an annual royal family banquet organized by the queen herself.

The emperor and ministers are in the Zhengqing Hall of the front hall, while the harem banquet is set up on the Yanqing Pavilion.

Not only the harem concubines will participate, but also some family members of clan nobles and ministers above the second grade will also be invited.

Ye Nianning's father was a Jiu Jiu from the Imperial College, but he was a third-rank official.

So she was able to participate because of the prince's light.

For such an important crab feast, Zhou naturally dressed Ye Nianning well before sending her to the carriage.

Ye Nianning wore a silky gold and silver wishful moire satin dress with a soft silver lily skirt, agate hairpin inserted in her wishful bun, and she wore beautiful two-tone hibiscus shoes, and she was exquisitely dressed and not overstepping the rules.

She also wears a soft smoky veil. The light fabric covers the baby’s fat little face, only revealing those big bright eyes, which line her skin like snow and jade. It’s really a little girl with pink makeup and jade. Dumplings.

Even Zhou Clan couldn't help but kissed her cheek, and then told her goodbye.

Ye Nianning also found it magical. Qin Jixun sent her her dress today.

Xu is worried that Ye Maoshan's two-sleeved breeze is not rich enough, and the clothes she bought for her cannot cope with the big scenes such as the family banquet in the palace.

Ye Nianning was very happy with this outfit.

The suspicion of Qin Jixun was one point less.

Cui Yuqing oil truck drove Ye Nianning to the gate of the palace unimpeded all the way. There was a mother waiting.

The palace gate was towering, and Ye Nianning stepped in and felt an invisible pressure on him.

This is her first visit to the palace.

She didn't feel very good. She didn't like this kind of boxy place like a cage. After the teaching of her parents, she didn't even dare to show the atmosphere, and tremblingly bowed her head all the way to Yanqing Pavilion.

The Yanqing Pavilion is located in the middle of the imperial garden.

Surrounded by a piece of chrysanthemum that bloomed exactly, it looked like a cluster of brocades floating in the air far away, and the fragrant fragrance spread far away.

Before Ye Nianning went up, he smelled the scent of flowers floating in the fragrance of the wine. Before drinking, he was already a little drunk.

There are also light flicks and sings of various musical instruments, accompanied by the laughter of the guests, as if they are in a fairyland on earth.

Ye Nianning had just boarded the attic, and saw the prince fluttering around the dancer's skirt and rushing towards her.

"Little Ye Zi! Why did you wear a veil?"

The prince wanted to stretch out his chubby claws to lift Ye Nianning's veil, and she dodged it lightly.

"Fuck... Your Royal Highness, I have lost my teeth. If I don't wear a veil, it would be too rude." Ye Nianning really likes her own veil, which is beautiful and easy to use.

She was always worried about how she was going to be good, she couldn't always cover her mouth and talk.

And if they find that the front teeth she and Ye Nianmiao have lost are exactly the same, they will definitely be suspicious.

But this veil was also prepared by Qin Jixun.

Although Ye Nianning didn't like him, he felt that he was also attentive and knew how to take care of subtle feelings.

The prince couldn't refute Ye Nianning's reasons, but stared, "Why didn't Ye Di come again?"

"He thinks that his teeth are too ugly, and he can't wear a veil like me." Ye Nianning shook the prince's arm with curving eyebrows, "His Royal Highness, shall we go have a snack?"

The prince had already begun to think about whether Xiao Ye Zi and Ye Di were in a bad relationship, otherwise, why didn't they always attend at the same time?

But when he heard the word dim sum, his attention was immediately diverted.

Quickly nodded: "Okay! Let's go, the imperial dining room has prepared a new dessert today!"

Ye Nianning followed behind the prince. The two sneaky figures thought that no one had spotted them, but they were seen by the queen and a group of concubines.

Concubine Rong smiled softly: "I think this little girl is cute, and she deserves a prince."

The queen also smiled, gentle and dignified: "After all, Xiao Ba is still young and doesn't understand anything. When they are older, the emperor will have plans."

Concubine De Fei gracefully took a sip of tea, her eyes flowed, and she did not forget to compliment the queen: "If the emperor chooses the princess for the prince, he must choose the dignified, virtuous, maternal demeanor of the elder sister."

The implication was that she didn't like Ye Nianning, because she didn't think she had enough temperament.

Standing behind the screen, Qi Jueze listened to the jokes of the concubines, his small face was cold, his hands clenched his fists, his veins violent.

He wanted to step into the warm pavilion, but turned around and left directly.

I originally wanted to be able to see her in the crab banquet, even though I looked at each other far away.

But now think about it, this scene of family happiness, brightly lit, and laughter is not suitable for him.

Especially when I saw her and the prince two little guessing, intimate scenes.

She met the prince and met anyone.

It's not like he shows up on weekdays, and he has to hide from others, for fear of being seen by others and causing her to get into trouble.

Can't tell why, Qi Jueze felt as if his heart was pulled into a ball, and the pain was densely tied.

Turning his head and leaving, no nostalgia, unwilling to think more, unwilling to watch more.

Qi Jueze did not see that Qin Jixun was standing in the attic and his robe was rustling, looking at his leaving back, the tight corners of his mouth relaxed for a moment.

Ye Nianning and the prince ate the snacks and returned to their seats.

Actually met Qin Nanxuan who was familiar with each other.

Qin Nanxuan stretched her head and probed her head everywhere. When she saw Ye Nianning, her eyes lit up and she dragged Ye Nianning's hand.

"Sister Nianning! Can you see... see..." She blushed as she spoke, "Fourth Prince?"

Ye Nianning was accustomed to calling Qi Jueze, and after a few moments of reaction, she understood that Qin Nanxuan was talking about Qi Jueze.

She shook her head without seeing it.

Qin Nanxuan pointed to the seat at the end of the opposite side, and said anxiously: "That was his seat, but I don't know where he went. This is about to start."

Ye Nianning followed Qin Nanxuan's fingers and looked at it. There was only one empty seat, at the very end of the prince and princess, without a wink, lonely and quiet.

Coincidentally, the queen inadvertently glanced at the empty seat, without paying attention to her face, holding the wine glass and supporting the mother's hand to stand up.

"Today I invite you to taste crabs. Don't be cautious. The family banquet will be regarded as a family member, and it is good to be happy."

Everyone naturally agrees with laughter and enjoys themselves.

Drinking, composing poems, admiring chrysanthemums, and tasting crabs, these are the pastimes that the palace can only encounter once a year. Naturally, they are very happy. The guests relax a lot and show their smiles.

Ye Nianning didn't care about the others either. She stared curiously at the "eight crabs" on the table with big eyes.

She has been here once, and naturally she is familiar with the road.

There were eight kinds of hammer, upsetting, tongs, shovel, spoon, fork, scraper, and needle on the table, all of which were gilded. Under the brightly lit, the dazzling golden luster flashed Ye Nianning's mouth from ear to ear in shock.

Fortunately, the veil was closed, and no one was seen, otherwise he would be laughed at and **** off again.

In fact, the present-day sage admires Ye Maoshan's amazing talents, but unfortunately he has no intention of official career, and hates long-sleeved good dancers. Sometimes the palace banquet invites him, but he refuses it all at once. As time passed, the emperor didn't bother to invite him.

Since ancient times, literati always have a bad temper and are very aloof.

There are nine classes of crabs in the world, and lake crabs are the first.

The first one was a crab offering made with crabs from Yangcheng Lake.

Simply boil the boiled crabs in clear spring water, add sauces to the saucers, and put them on the table.

Hold the wine and dip it in the sauce, which is very refreshing.

The maid waiting by the side knocked out a piece of crab calf meat for Ye Nianning with eight crab pieces. She lowered her head and lifted the veil and took a bite. She felt that the silk was long, tender and full of sweetness.

The crabs are so delicious.

Ye Nianning still wanted to eat more, but was stopped by the court lady.

"Crabs are cold, the girl is still young, don't try more, just wait for the next one." The palace lady's voice softly and tactfully, and Ye Nian sullenly retracted her outstretched hand.

It happened that the prince was looking here.

She and the prince looked at each other, both of them pitifully looked at each other, their aggrieved mouths were flat.

The prince was also stopped by the queen just now.

Fortunately, the second disc came soon.

Ye Nianning's attention immediately shifted to the saucer, and no longer looked at the prince.

The same was true for the prince, with only small slit eyes staring at the dishes in front of him, for fear that they would disappear in the blink of an eye.

This one is especially delicious.

It was a piece of crab soup, cooked with finely chopped wormwood for three hours. It is necessary for the palace staff to keep watch day and night and adjust the heat after half an hour.

On the thickly boiled white soup, there are yellow and orange crab yellow and green wormwood, and there is also white and tender crab meat floating in it.

Unfortunately, there is only a small bowl.

Ye Nianning drank it in two mouthfuls.

The prince was even more so, he finished it in one sip.

Then the two continued to look at each other pitifully, so pitiful, as if they had been wronged and aggrieved and couldn't be said.

The palace people wouldn't pay much attention to Ye Nianning, but they all noticed how pitiful the prince was.

The crown prince was chubby and cute, and the palace ladies liked him very much, and hurriedly urged the palace ladies to serve the third plate of crabs.

The third dish seemed to be a hairy crab that still needed eight crabs to be disassembled, but the maid opened the crab shell for Ye Nianning, only to find that the crab meat had been disassembled into pieces, which had been marinated for some time.

It was mixed with salt, plum, ginger, and orange. Although it seemed complicated, Ye Nianning directly picked up a crabmeat with many ingredients in chopsticks and put it directly in his mouth.

It also has a special flavor, leaving fragrance on the lips and teeth.

It's a pity that the fourth, fifth and sixth dishes are raw crabs, wine crabs and drunken crabs, which are not suitable for children.

Ye Nianning and the prince looked at each other baffledly, and they both saw gluttony in each other's eyes.

Sitting on the left hand side of the prince, Qin Jixun had long discovered that these two little fat dumplings were looking at each other pitifully. They were really two greedy ghosts.

Qin Jixun held his forehead thinking for a while, and finally waved his hand to invite a little eunuch, and whispered to go down.

The prince secretly glanced at Qin Jixun's movements, and then winked at Ye Nianning.

Ye Nianning naturally understood the prince's meaning, and smiled with a tricky smile before returning to a pitiful look.

This is a trick used by her and the prince.

The two sold miserable pretends together, either looking at each other, or leaning in front of Qin Jixun's eyes and staring at him pitifully.

Qin Jixun would be overwhelmed, and finally reluctantly heeded their intentions.

The same is true today.

After achieving their goals, the crown prince and Ye Nianning returned to their bodies and stopped looking at each other, and honestly waited for the last two discs.

One plate is sugar crab, and the other is crab stuffed orange.

Crab stuffed orange is steamed in a steamer, stuffed with crab roe and crab meat in large oranges that have been shaved off the flesh.

Lift off the orange top cover, the eyes are full of tender yellow crab yellow, underneath is the white crystal crab meat.

Need to dip some vinegar and salt to eat, it tastes fresh and fragrant, Ye Nianning couldn't help but smashed her mouth a few times.

I heard the graceful voice of Concubine De concubine at this time: "To taste crabs today, you naturally need to drink wine as a gift. Huaer is known as a talented girl, so it's better to write a poem to add happiness!"

Ye Nianning was eating well and didn't notice what Defei said.

But she was shocked by Qin Nanxuan's cold snort next to her.

After realizing, she turned her head and looked at Qin Nanxuan suspiciously: "Sister Nanxuan, what's the matter with you?"

"Huh! This is Zhang Jinhua again!" Qin Nanxuan stared bitterly at Zhang Jinhua who was standing on the right not far away.

Ye Nianning followed her gaze and saw Zhang Jinhua wearing a satin silk skirt. Although he looked less than eight or nine years old, he already had a sober and elegant temperament, with a delicate face, standing there slim, neither humble nor overbearing. Just like a Guerlain bud in bloom.

Ye Nianning thought for a while, as if he didn't know these characters.

Qin Nanxuan was obliged to introduce her to her in a low voice.

It turned out that this Jinhua was the niece of Concubine De and was also the only maternal daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty. The status is so expensive, so naturally there is no need to say more.

But she is not only valuable, she is also smart and memorable.

He chanted poems at the age of three and wrote fus at the age of five. Poems, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all make sense.

Even the emperor said that with her talent, if she were a man, she would be able to take on the important task of helping the world.

Everyone knows the capital. Qin Jixun and Zhang Jinhua are both amazing talents, and Zhang Jinhua is even more eye-catching because they are a little girl.

Ye Nianning guessed that the reason why Qin Nanxuan did not like Zhang Jinhua was because Zhang Jinhua was always in the limelight, which overwhelmed Qin Jihun.

Although Qin Jixun is not close to Qin Nanxuan, he is also Qin Nanxuan's elder brother, and naturally he hopes that his brother will be good.

At this time, Zhang Jinhua had been in deep thought for a while, and his voice was clear and moving.

"Wu'er likes this sugar crab very much, so she wrote a poem, I'm afraid it's a laugh."

"The chilly bird is full of bamboo branches, frightening the wind and the jade flowers flying. The creamy orange sugar crab is new and beautiful, and you feel that life is all right."

Although she said this, she was calm and composed, accompanied by the chrysanthemums that occasionally flew into the warm pavilion at the right time, melodiously, falling on the ends of her blue silk hair, and the lights reflecting in the corners of her eyes and brows, making her look extraordinarily dusty.

Ye Nianning looked at her with a stunned look, and was shocked by the scene in his heart.

Obviously she is also a little girl, why is she missing her by thousands of miles.

Ye Nianning felt that Dad should find Zhang Jinhua to study at the Imperial College, and she definitely didn't need to ask Qin Jixun to do her homework for her.

She also felt that Zhang Jinhua and Qin Jixun seemed to be the same kind of people.

The type of person who can never walk with her.
