Chapter 1127 Queuing
There were only two palace maids in the yard, and they were only responsible for welcoming guests at the door. People began to be brought in one after another.
But since they didn't know each other, they just nodded politely.
Bai Shan looked around and found that there was not even a table or chair to sit on. He felt quite surprised and whispered, "Is this how guests are treated in the palace?"
Manbao was also very surprised because she was always taken directly to Lizheng Hall when she entered the palace and had never been a guest anywhere else.
Manbao pointed to the railing on the side and said, "Let's go sit there."
The four of them found a secluded place and sat on a railing with a good view.
More and more people entered the yard, both men and women, but mostly young boys and girls and some women, but no adult men were seen.
Everyone was in the same courtyard. Those who knew each other greeted each other and then gathered together. Manbao asked Yin Huo, "Do you know them?"
Yin Huo shook his head, "I haven't met many people. I've heard of many people, but I haven't met them in person, so I don't know many people."
Manbao and the other two just sat there quietly, watching with boredom.
Time passed little by little, but still no one came to invite them to the banquet, and the guards guarding the door did not allow them to go out.
The four of them were getting a little hungry after waiting, so they took out some snacks from their pockets to eat.
In just half a day, they had eaten all the snacks in their pockets.
Yin Huo also had a lot of snacks in his purse, which were prepared for him by Old Madam Yin.
Bai Shan pinched the last piece of dessert and sighed, "I finally understand why the master prepared so much food for us."
Bai Erlang was also hesitant, "Then should we still eat?"
"Eat," Manbao had already finished eating, so he encouraged them, "Eating in the morning or in the evening is the same, it fills your stomach."
Yin Huo suggested, "You should save it. If the banquet starts later, you can eat it when you are really hungry."
Bai Shan had already taken a bite and said, "Forget it, just eat it."
Bai Erlang saw him eating it, so he took a bite as well, nodding as he ate, "That's right, leaving it here will take up space."
Yin Huo lowered his head and looked at the two snacks in his purse.
Manbao saw it and immediately said, "Keep yours. We can eat it when we are really hungry."
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang nodded in agreement, "Two pieces, just half a piece each."
Yin Huo: ...
As they were talking quietly, a palace attendant came in and called out, "Ladies and gentlemen, please follow us to the Wude Hall."
The four of them then stood up, clapped their hands, and followed the crowd to the Wude Hall.
The Wude Hall was very large, and when they arrived there was no guest there, so they could only wait in the garden of the Wude Hall.
Then guests led by palace servants came from all directions and stood in order of seniority.
It seemed that almost all the guests who came to the palace to celebrate had arrived. Then a group of elderly ladies came from another place under the guidance of palace servants, passed by these groups of people, and went directly into the hall.
The four of them couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and then they found the familiar Old Lady Su, Old Lady Yin and Liu Huan's grandmother among a group of old ladies.
As they walked past them, Manbao couldn't help but raise his hand and greet them with a smile.
The old ladies of the Su and Liu families nodded politely to Manbao, but Old Lady Yin looked at the four of them. Seeing that her grandson looked okay, she smiled and nodded to them, then followed the palace maid in.
Manbao and the others then discovered that Liu Huan and Yin Huo's sisters did not follow them, and they were obviously separated.
Just as they were thinking this, one of the teenagers standing diagonally opposite waved his hand fiercely at them.
The four of them looked closely and realized that it was Liu Huan who had changed his clothes. He was standing among a group of teenagers, winking at them and waving at them to come over.
However, Manbao and the others looked at the palace guards guarding various places, turned their heads away and ignored him.
Liu Huan felt a little depressed, and Feng Zongping, who was standing not far behind him, burst out laughing.
Liu Huan turned around and glared at him fiercely.
Feng Zongping asked with a smile, "Didn't you say you came in together? Why did you walk with us and not with them?"
Liu Huan said depressedly, "I was walking with my grandmother, but how could I have known that they didn't follow us?"
Yi Ziyang smiled and said, "They came in with a different invitation, so naturally they can't leave like your family. But it's really strange, why didn't Madam Yin take them with her?"
Yin Li is very favored by the emperor, so the Yin family still has a lot of face in the palace. As long as Old Lady Yin is willing to make concessions, she can take them with her.
Feng Zongping glanced at the four people opposite him. Seeing that Yin Huo, like Bai Shan and the others, was looking around with interest and looked okay, he smiled and said, "Perhaps they want to give Young Master Yin some experience."
Yi Ziyang: "What's so good about entering the palace?"
Liu Huan: “That’s right.”
Feng Zongping smiled and said, "Of course, there's nothing much for people like us to learn, but I remember Yin Huo has been weak since childhood, so he hasn't entered the palace yet, right?"
That’s true.
Yi Ziyang pondered for a moment and nodded.
They were discussing this when a palace maid stood on the steps and looked around. After finally finding Manbao, she immediately went over with a smile and whispered, "Little Doctor Zhou, our princess invites you in."
Manbao looked closely and recognized her as the maidservant beside Mingda. He pointed at Bai Shan and the other two and said with a smile, "They are my junior brothers and good friends."
The maid smiled and said, "Come here together. The princess is already sitting in the inner hall."
The four of them left with the palace maids. Feng Zongping and others on the opposite side saw them and watched them go away with envy on their faces.
According to their experience, the other side was where the court officials entered the hall, and it would be their turn only after their mothers had almost entered.
They looked up at the big sun in the sky and felt a little sad in their hearts.
Manbao and the other three followed the palace maid inside. The hall was very large, separated by screens. There were many seats and small tables on the ground. The old ladies who had been brought in earlier were already sitting in their respective seats.
The palace maid led them around a huge screen and directly to the back hall of Wude Hall. In a room, chattering and laughter were coming from it.
The palace maid led Manbao and the others to the door and went in to report. Manbao had just finished speaking when the sound of running feet could be heard from inside. Changyu ran out directly, and when she saw Manbao, she pulled her in and said with a smile, "You came at the right time. We don't recognize many of the things you bought for us. Come and help us take a look."
Bai Shan raised his eyelids to look at them, then followed them.
There were girls and boys in the room, gathering in front of two wicker boxes to watch the fun.
Manbao was surprised and asked, "It was delivered to you so quickly?"
Princess Changyu said, "Of course. I told the guards early in the morning that if you can deliver it to us immediately."
The next update will be around 6:00 PM
