Everyone on the field held their breath and looked at the goddess at the top in fear.
Did they do something to anger the goddess?
Ye Xin's frown deepened. "There were so many women yesterday, but why don't I see any today? Huh?"
She said this to Emperor Wen Kang, especially the last "hmm", which made him break out in a cold sweat.
Emperor Wen Kang hurriedly stood up and apologized to Ye Xin in a trembling voice, "Reporting to the goddess, it is my fault for not making arrangements well. I will make arrangements immediately."
"Half an hour."
Ye Xin coldly gave a time: she wanted to see the person half an hour later.
Emperor Wen Kang's scalp tightened and he nodded repeatedly to make the arrangements.
Only then did he realize how stupid he was yesterday.
The palace banquet hadn't even started yet and he had already angered the goddess. What was he going to do next?
The palace banquet was delayed, and a group of ministers sat there doing nothing. Because the goddess did not give the order, they did not dare to whisper to each other.
However, everyone silently added in their hearts that in the future, everyone would probably bring their families with them to the banquets attended by the goddess.
.............
Emperor Wenkang's oral instructions were like dandelions, falling one by one on the houses of various families.
These officials' wives received the oral instructions almost at the same time. They were surprised and happy. They were surprised that they could attend the palace banquet, and they were happy that they could meet the goddess again.
They did not dare to delay too long. Those who had imperial edicts changed into imperial robes, and those who did not have imperial edicts changed into new clothes. After dressing up, they hurried into the palace with the female members of their families.
Meanwhile, at Duke Lin's Mansion, the Duke's wife and several others had already made preparations. As soon as the eunuch who announced the decree finished speaking, they hurriedly climbed onto the carriage and prepared to set off.
The eunuch who announced the decree had just turned his head when he saw only the back of the carriage.
The young eunuch had never seen such a scene before, and his eyebrows twitched in shock.
The Duke Lin's Mansion is usually the slowest in doing anything, but today it's running faster than a rabbit.
Weiyang Palace
After waiting for a cup of tea, Concubine Rou hurriedly came in with the four princesses. They were dressed in palace costumes and bowed to the goddess at the top.
Ye Xin didn't even raise her eyes, glanced at Lin Jiayan and let her make her own arrangements.
Lin Jiayan understood immediately and arranged Concubine Rou to sit below her according to the usual seating arrangement.
Concubine Rou came in a hurry and didn't know the situation yet. Seeing that the situation was very serious, she could only look at the Queen for help.
The Queen shook her head secretly at her and told her not to speak now.
Concubine Rou understood, and pulled her daughter to sit obediently in the seat. The mother and daughter cheered a little in their hearts.
The goddess is right above them, what an honor it is.
After half an hour, female relatives began to enter the Weiyang Palace one after another.
These ladies were not actually very surprised by the sudden situation. They had often encountered similar things before, but this time they were the ones who were called.
When they knew there would be a banquet today, they prepared everything early.
Some ladies even prepare for the future and get up early in the morning to wash and dress.
As a result, they didn't expect that because of this preparation, they were actually summoned into the palace by the goddess.
A group of ladies dressed in their best bowed as usual and sat down next to their masters as arranged by the queen.
Weiyang Palace was a place specially designed for holding banquets, and it could easily accommodate hundreds of people, so so many people could be seated easily, and there was even a large area that was not full.
Although the goddess ordered all the female relatives to come, anyone with a discerning eye knew that only the legitimate daughter of the family could be brought.
Some old guys who favor concubines over wives would not dare to lose their temper with the people around them at this time no matter how dissatisfied they were.
Especially the Marquis of Loyalty. When he saw that all the female relatives had come but his beloved was not, he couldn't help but give the Marquis' wife an unpleasant look.
The marquis' wife ignored him and sat behind him with her daughter, looking gratefully at the goddess above.
This was her second time to attend a palace banquet, the first time being the wedding of the Emperor and Empress.
At that time, she was still the Crown Prince's wife, and was brought in reluctantly by the current Marquis of Loyalty. As for why he was reluctant, it was because he wanted to bring his beloved one with him.
If the Queen wasn't her good friend, Marquis Zhongyi might have become the first minister to bring a concubine into the palace.
The situation is still the same now. The extremely favored concubine Jun in the mansion cannot enter the palace, and even her two children cannot enter. The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty is so happy.
Yu Xiao winked at her brother, wanting to ask what was going on and why they were suddenly called into the palace.
It was Yu Xiao's first time attending a palace banquet, and she would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous. She had wanted to rely on her mother, but now her mother was too busy to take care of her, so she could only stare at her brother.
Yu Chengjing looked up and saw that no one was paying attention to his place. He dipped some tea in the water and wrote the words "no female relatives, unhappy" on the table.
Yu Xiao understood that the goddess was angry because she saw that there was no female relatives on the scene, so the emperor hurriedly called them in.
She curled her lips and took a sip of tea with her sleeve covering her mouth.
It should be her honor that the goddess is thinking of them.
"Have all the palace banquets in the Yu Dynasty ever been held like this?"
Before half an hour had passed, the goddess sitting at the top spoke.
Emperor Wenkang showed a hint of embarrassment, "Reporting to the Goddess, the Yu Dynasty has never had the tradition of women participating in palace banquets since ancient times, so I..."
Emperor Wen Kang spoke in increasingly low voices, to the point where he felt aggrieved.
