After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 639: Palace Banquet (Edited)

The next morning, as soon as the sky in the east began to turn pale, Qian Duoduo got up early.

Madam Yang had already sent over the carefully selected clothes. It was a light pink dress embroidered with exquisite peony patterns. It was paired with a pair of pearl earrings and an emerald hairpin, making her look delicate and charming.

After packing up, Qian Duoduo came to the front hall and met the Yang couple who had been waiting there.

I saw my father wearing a dark purple official robe, looking very majestic; my mother was wearing a lake blue dress, looking dignified and beautiful.

Qian Duoduo couldn't help but sigh that this family is really good-looking. Although she doesn't have a stunning appearance, she feels that she is becoming more and more like Madam Yang, which is still pretty good.

After Qian Duoduo completed the greetings, he and Madam Yang got into the carriage and drove towards the imperial palace.

Along the way, Qian Duoduo looked around, his heart full of anticipation.

However, when she looked around, she found that a familiar figure was missing - Yang Chuyi.

Qian Duoduo couldn't help but feel puzzled, and turned to his mother and asked, "Why isn't my cousin with us?"

When Mrs. Yang heard this, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

She patted Qian Duoduo's hand gently and explained gently: "Your cousin has been feeling unwell these days, so she will not attend the palace banquet this year."

Qian Duoduo nodded, thinking of Yang Chuyi's current physical condition, and expressed his understanding.

If any accident happens in the palace and something is exposed, it would be a waste of time and effort. It would be better to keep him at home.

She remembered that when she saw Yang Chuyi a few days ago, the other party looked a little pale. In addition to her current physical condition, she thought that she really needed to rest well.

Moreover, given Yang Chuyi's current physical condition, attending such a grand and complicated palace banquet would probably only make her feel exhausted.

Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo felt that it would be more appropriate to let his cousin recuperate at home.

At this time, Yang Chuyi was lying in her boudoir, looking at the blue sky outside through the window.

She didn't have too many regrets about not being able to attend the palace banquet.

On the contrary, because she is well aware of her physical condition, being able to avoid such occasions is a relief for her.

After all, attending those banquets takes a lot of energy and strength, and if you are not careful...

Nowadays, she prefers to stay in her own small courtyard, read books, drink tea, enjoy the tranquility and comfort, and then wait for marriage with peace of mind.

Unless there is an important banquet that she cannot refuse, she will choose to stay at home and take good care of her body just in case.

It took Qian Duoduo and his group more than a quarter of an hour to reach the outside of the palace.

At this moment, many officials and eunuchs brought their families to the palace for a banquet. Therefore, the palace gate was crowded with people and the scene was extremely congested.

However, this chaotic situation did not last long.

After a while, a eunuch was seen walking hurriedly to the front of the crowd, followed closely by a young palace maid.

The two men walked through the bustling crowd and headed straight for where Lord Yang and his wife were.

When he came closer, the eunuch bowed and said in a shrill voice:

"Master Yang is well! I am a servant of the Imperial Palace.

The Queen Mother specially sent me here to take Madam Yang and Miss Yang to the Queen's Palace to rest and spend some time together, and then they will go to the banquet together."

After saying this, he slightly turned sideways and gestured to the little palace maid beside him. The little palace maid also quickly knelt down and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Lord Yang and Madam Yang."

When Lord Yang heard the news, he immediately understood that the Queen must be kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the mother and daughter suffer outside the palace!

In fact, this excuse was used every year to bring Madam Yang into the palace first.

Madam Yang was naturally a reasonable person. She knew very well that although it would take some time for people to be checked one by one at the gate before they could enter the palace banquet venue one after another,

Even if you are not cold, it will definitely be more comfortable if you can go to the Queen's place in advance to rest for a while than waiting outside!

So, Madam Yang took Qian Duoduo without hesitation and got on the welcoming sedan chair and walked towards the Queen's bedroom.

At this time, the ladies who were still queuing up to enter the palace all cast their gazes at Madam Yang and Qian Duoduo who were walking further and further away, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Some ladies couldn't help but murmur softly: "Look at Madam Yang, how blessed she is!" Others secretly sighed: "Alas, why don't we have such good luck?"

Qian Duoduo knew very well that she had to be cautious and careful in her words and deeds in the palace. Although she was full of curiosity and doubts about everything that was about to happen,

She still forced herself not to ask any questions, but just followed her mother's footsteps obediently and got into the sedan quietly.

Along the way, she kept reminding herself in her heart: Don't talk nonsense, and be well-behaved and sensible...

Qian Duoduo felt nervous, uneasy, and even excited sitting in the sedan. He didn't care how long the journey took; he just felt like they arrived very quickly.

When Mrs. Yang saw her daughter's face full of uncontrollable joy and excitement when she got off the sedan chair, she also felt happy.

Qian Duoduo immediately stepped forward, took his mother's hand and walked into the Queen's banquet room.

After Qian Duoduo entered, he glanced at the people in the room.

Wow, they are all beauties.

Although there were a lot of things going on in his mind, with a little man jumping back and forth, he appeared as calm as a dog, following Madam Yang in respectfully paying his respects to the Queen Mother.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Afterwards, the other ladies paid their respects, and the ones who were allowed to sit with the Queen were all Imperial Concubines.

Qian Duoduo suddenly felt like she was back in the Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, she had knee pads on her knees, otherwise she didn't know how she would suffer today.

"Hurry up and sit down first."

Madam Yang and Qian Duoduo sat at the very end. Although Madam Yang had a good relationship with the Queen, she still had to follow the rules in front of others.

"Xin'er, raise your head so that everyone can get to know you." The Queen said happily to Qian Duoduo.

In front of outsiders, Qian Duoduo is "Yang Chuxin". Only in front of her brothers is she Duoduo, Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo behaved in a well-behaved manner, and with the way she was dressed today, anyone who saw her would see that she was a well-behaved and lovely little girl.
