It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

The next day.

Ye Nanyue woke up relatively early.

Lu Huaiyang felt sorry for her last night and restrained himself, so Ye Nanyue was not too tired.

In addition, Concubine Cen was considerate and never asked her to pay her respects morning and evening, so she felt relieved.

When she got up in the morning, a palace maid came in to dress her up.

The clothes were prepared long ago and were formal dresses sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

There are rules and regulations for clothing and jewelry, and you cannot go beyond them.

But the palace maids in Concubine Cen's palace were all promoted by Concubine Cen herself. They are all loyal and will not make mistakes.

During breakfast, Lu Huaiyang had already gone to the Yangxin Palace.

Now, the emperor trusts Lu Huaiyang extremely.

Days like Double Ninth Festival are for worshipping ancestors.

Naturally, this kind of work fell on Lu Huaiyang's head.

Ping An was also taken away.

After Ye Nanyue and Concubine Cen had breakfast, they went to the Yangxin Palace to pay their respects.

At lunch time, the emperor invited Concubine Cen and Ye Nanyue to have lunch together.

Concubine Xie is here too.

Several other favored concubines and younger princes and princesses in the palace also came.

After lunch, relatives from each palace would come to visit, and they would gather at the Liuli Palace for dinner only after dinner.

Concubine Cen was born in a poor family and had no relatives on her natal side, except for a niece in her early twenties.

The niece married an official from the Military Affairs Department, and they lived a pretty comfortable life.

I hadn't contacted Concubine Cen for a long time in previous years, so I was flattered to be suddenly invited into the palace on Chongyang Festival this year.

When Ye Nanyue saw her, she could see the restraint and uneasiness of Concubine Cen's niece.

Concubine Cen was also kind. She chatted with him for a while, gave him some tips, and then had him sent out of the palace.

Relatives from the mother's side who were not of high enough status were not qualified to stay in the palace to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival.

Those who could stay were either of high status or the concubine's favored relatives.

After sending away Concubine Cen's niece, Concubine Cen asked the kitchen to prepare some food for Ye Nanyue to fill her stomach first.

"There are many rules at the palace banquet. I'm afraid you'll be hungry later, so eat something first." Concubine Cen looked at Ye Nanyue with a very loving look.

Ye Nanyan smiled and said, "My mother treats me so well."

Concubine Cen smiled but said nothing.

Ye Nanyue had a bowl of bird's nest porridge and a small bowl of ham and chicken noodle soup, and then stopped eating.

When the sun was about to set, Lu Huaiyang and Ping'an came to pick her and Concubine Cen up.

The weather is very cold in the morning and evening, and both father and son have put on cloaks.

Ye Nanyue and Concubine Cen also put on cloaks, and the family went to the Glazed Palace together.

This Glass Palace, as the name suggests, is made of a lot of glass.

In ancient times, glass was a very valuable thing.

There is a room in the Glass Palace where the tiles are all made of glass, and many doors and windows of the courtyard palace are also made of glass.

Unlike the glass Ye Nanyue bought, the glass here is not that shiny.

But compared to ordinary doors, windows and tiles, it is already of superior quality.

Good lighting.

So, if the banquet is held at the Liuli Palace...

No matter what the weather is, or if you want to set off fireworks at night, it will never be too dark.

If there are actors singing or dancing, it would be more convenient to have glass, and it would also be easier to watch.

Ye Nanyue and the others did not take a sedan chair, but walked there.

Next to the Glazed Palace is another palace.

The palace is divided into East and West Palaces.

The east side is for nobles to change clothes, that is, to go to the toilet.

In the past few days, Big Brother Ye, Second Brother Ye and a few others have already installed the toilets in important places in the palace.

The west side is for dancers or actors who need to dress up and put on makeup and change clothes.

Unlike what we see in TV dramas, the dancers and actors who actually served the imperial palace were actually high-level "art students" trained by the Jiaofangsi.

Maybe the family background is not necessarily "clean", but there are definitely traces to follow.

Some criminals' families or descendants, or children of good potential from honest families were sold in.

Then the Jiaofangsi will select the good, excellent and talented ones for training.

The best ones were naturally sent to the palace, and the inferior ones were prepared for the residences of dignitaries or banquets.

As Ye Nanyue walked past, she glanced at Lu Huaiyang and blinked.

Lu Huaiyang understood what she meant and nodded calmly.

That look, looks cold and arrogant.

Ye Nanyue was happy in her heart, as long as he agreed, it would be fine.

After a few people entered, many concubines had already arrived at the Liuli Palace.

For an occasion like today, unless there is a special reason, everyone would come early.

After all, some concubines can only see the emperor once a year or two. No one wants to miss such a good opportunity, so naturally they will not put on airs and deliberately come late.

After Ye Nanyue entered, she looked around.

Concubine Xie and the Xie family also arrived early.

Men sit on one side and women sit on the other.

Lu Huaiyang and Ye Nanyue nodded slightly, and walked towards the male guests without Ping An.

Ye Nanyue's gaze fell on the Xie family over there.

Mrs. Xie brought Xie Wanning, Liu, and the eldest daughter of Xie Songlin's second brother.

Ye Nanyue had met that girl once when she went to the Imperial College to visit Ye Jingming.

Mrs. Xie looked at Ye Nanyue across the crowd and nodded slightly. That expression should be telling Ye Nanyue not to worry.

Ye Nanyue also nodded slightly towards Madam Xie, indicating that she understood.

Her seat was not far from the table of Concubine Xie and the Xie family.

She saw that Xie Wan Ning was dressed up today.

Mrs. Xie probably took out all the things that had been given to her and put them on her body.

Her head is covered with pearls and jade, all of which are extremely precious.

The material of the clothes is also extremely rare fabric.

Both the workmanship and embroidery are first-class.

At first glance, it's clear that the Xie family adores their daughter and doesn't skimp on her clothing.

Ye Nanyue even heard many ladies whispering to each other, saying all kinds of things.

Some say that Mrs. Xie is very kind and treats her daughter so well even though she knows that she is not her biological daughter.

Some people also said that Mrs. Xie was stupid and that she would be so good even if her daughter was not her own.

Some people said that Mrs. Xie had developed feelings for Xie Wan Ning, while others said that maybe Xie Songlin was the daughter he had raised outside, and Mrs. Xie knew nothing about it.

Some time ago, the Xie family announced that Xie Wan Ning was ill and was recuperating in the yard, so everyone thought that she would not be able to attend the Double Ninth Festival banquet today.

Now that he is brought to a public school and dressed like this, everyone is naturally curious.

The Xie family was indifferent to these rumors. Only Mrs. Xie and Liu were extremely caring and attentive to Xie Wan Ning.

Ye Nanyue looked at Xie Wanning, but vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Xie Wan Ning was dressed up, but it was obvious that something was wrong with her spirit and energy.

It's like a spent force, deliberately picked out and dressed up for others to see.

But the Xie family has always been good to Xie Wanning, and no one doubts it.

Xie Wan Ning herself felt uneasy and looked around.

In the end... it fell on Lu Huaiyang.
