Chapter 1611 consideration
"I don't know what she will do during this period of time, so it takes Madam Chu two days to see, but don't worry, I will send someone to the house, and Madam will not be involved."
"If Madam doesn't want to believe it, I am willing to go and tell Master Chu in person."
Ye Muyu finally only said to give her an answer after the banquet.
The eldest princess didn't force anything, leaving her time to think about it. After that, other wives who were close to the eldest princess also joined the ranks, and Ye Muyu didn't seem so prominent anymore.
A group of people entered the palace.
This time, the banquet was not separated, and it was all held outside the hall. After Ye Muyu arrived, she was led to the corresponding position by the maid.
She found that the position assigned to Chu Heng in the palace was actually a bit higher, even on the same level as the second-rank officials, and ranked in the front row among the third-rank.
This detail made Ye Muyu pay more attention.
There are five seats at the top. It seems that both the Empress Dowager and the Empress will be present. In addition, there are two seats for concubines.
Going down, there are four long shores arranged, who should be the prince who is now an adult of Da Chu.
Going down is the first assistant and second assistant, as well as the senior officials of the third department and six departments, followed by Chu Heng.
Across from Chu Heng's position, there are envoys from some small countries, and further down, it is estimated that the position where Emperor Xuanming can no longer see clearly is all officials below the third rank.
Ye Muyu took Chu Ziluo to the seat, and sat down cross-legged. The table was not high, and there were already three plates on it, pastries, fruits, and melon seeds.
Melon seeds are watermelon seeds. There are not many melon seeds in Dachu now. On the contrary, after the popularity of watermelon, watermelon seeds have become the first choice for hospitality.
There are several types of pastries on the pastry plate, all of which are traditional pastries, which need to be served with tea and tasted slowly.
Ye Muyu was worried that it would be inconvenient to drink too much tea, so she didn't touch the pastries and watermelon seeds.
Ziluo sat beside her obediently.
The banquet hadn't started yet, Ye Muyu took her to meet the other wives first, and after walking back, many people came over to say hello.
Ye Muyu responded with a smile, not talking too much, and not offending others.
In the blink of an eye, when the banquet was about to start, Huangmen's voice sounded at the door in vain: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Empress Empress is here..."
The officials quickly stood back to their positions, knelt down and saluted.
"Everyone loves you in peace." Emperor Xuanming was dressed in bright yellow clothes, making people afraid to look directly at him.
After Emperor Xuanming walked up and sat down with the Queen Mother and Queen respectively, the officials stood up.
Ye Muyu saw Chu Heng coming around from behind, and reached out to pull her back to her seat. She sat under him, and the man's broad figure basically completely blocked her.
"Ah Heng, did you come with the emperor?" Ye Muyu lowered her voice and asked curiously.
She seemed to have seen a few officials following Emperor Xuanming just now, but now seeing the direction Chu Heng was coming from and the fact that he entered the palace early, she became a little more certain.
Chu Heng hummed, and brought a plate of cold dishes and hot tea in front of her: "The hot dishes are probably cold, so we can only use cold dishes. If you feel cold, drink hot tea."
"Don't worry about me, I will take care of myself." Ye Muyu casually picked up a pig's ear, and started to eat it slowly. Even a pig's ear is as thin as a feather at a palace banquet, and the seasoning sauce on it is even more secret. Yes, the taste is very good, not a little better than hot dishes after they are cold.
