Chapter 67 Annual Banquet



But Jiang Tuantuan is not in a hurry. She knows that it takes time and opportunity for everyone to accept a new thing, so she is waiting, waiting for that opportunity to come.

Although Yubao is only a little over one year old, Jiang Tuantuan has already started to teach him. She reads the Three Character Classic to him every day, and teaches him to count one, two, three, and recognize the simplest words.

Every time Yubao learned a word, Jiang Tuantuan would reward him with a small piece of cake, so Yubao was quite happy to learn.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, the officials were finally going to have their holiday. Before the holiday, a banquet was held in the palace, and the officials could bring their families to attend and celebrate together.

As soon as Li Jingchen mentioned this to Jiang Tuantuan, Jiang Tuantuan agreed. She really wanted to go to the palace to see what it looked like inside and was very curious.

The night before the party, Jiang Tuantuan started choosing clothes to wear to the party the next day.

After choosing and choosing, she chose the pink one. Because she has fair skin, the pink color complements her skin tone and makes her look delicate.

She put on a pink and white coat on the outside, which was warm and beautiful.

When she got to Li Jingchen's place, Jiang Tuantuan just casually took out a new set of clothes and that was it.

Li Jingchen watched this scene, hugged Yubao and complained to him: "Look at your mother, she only cares about her own beauty and doesn't care about us. We are so pitiful!"

Jiang Tuantuan glared at him and Li Jingchen immediately shut up.

Princess Mingman in the palace looked depressed. She hated this kind of collective banquet the most. It was very boring, and there were a lot of etiquette rules to follow, which made her feel uncomfortable at all.

Pearl and Jade were helping her choose clothes, but Mingman didn't even look at them. "You guys decide. I can wear anything."

The next morning, before Li Jingchen and Yubao woke up, Jiang Tuantuan had already gotten up. Based on her experience, she knew that she would not be able to eat enough in such occasions, so she had a hearty breakfast first, and then began to dress up.

After washing their hair, everyone got up. Seeing how diligent Jiang Tuantuan was, everyone praised her.

Jiang An: "Wow, the sun is rising from the west! My sister actually got up early!"

Jiang Li: "Sister Tuantuan, you are the first one to get up today!"

Li Jingchen: "Tuantuan, why are you up so early?"

Feng Xiaoli: "Wow, my daughter actually got up earlier than me one day."

Yubao: "Mom, ahhhh, good morning."

Jiang Dafeng slammed the table, "It's good that we know, stop talking and eat!"

Jiang Tuantuan's face turned red with shyness. She turned around, went back to the house and closed the door.

I swear I will never get up early again!

Although there were few cosmetics in ancient times, Jiang Tuantuan had good skills. The makeup she drew was better looking than others, which completely enhanced the advantages of her face. Paired with a pink jacket, it complemented each other perfectly.

Jiang Tuantuan walked out of the house. The sun had just risen to the middle of the sky, and a ray of sunlight happened to hit Jiang Tuantuan's body and half of his face.

She waved at Li Jingchen, then lifted her skirt slightly and ran towards him. Li Jingchen stood there in a daze.

"What are you thinking about? Pick up Yubao and let's go."

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Li and Jiang An were full of envy. Even though the New Year was approaching, Jiang Dafeng did not slack off in their studies at all, and the homework even became more and more.

Sitting in the carriage, Yubao excitedly waved his two little paws and pulled aside the curtain to look outside.

When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw a long row of carriages, which were all officials and their families who came to attend the banquet. Jiang Tuantuan waited in the carriage for half an hour before he was allowed to enter.

The female relatives and officials were separated. The female relatives set up a banquet in the back garden, while the officials went to the front hall.

The two are going to separate, so who will take care of Yubao? It is undoubtedly Li Jingchen.

Li Jingchen had no choice, since they were his wife and son, he could only pamper them. Li Jingchen carried Yubao onto his shoulders, and Yubao felt very comfortable sitting on his thick and broad shoulders.

Two chubby arms were holding Li Jingchen's head, and his legs were tightly grasped.

Sitting high and seeing far, Yubao's head turned back and forth like a rattle, attracting a large number of people's attention.

Even for old officials who had served in the court for decades, it was the first time they saw someone bringing his son to the banquet. Normally, children of such a young age would be taken to the Imperial Garden by their mothers.

Everyone looked at Yubao on their shoulders and couldn't help teasing him. No matter who waved or greeted Yubao, Yubao would smile back.

He immediately won the hearts of all the ministers. This little kid is really not shy.

After everyone sat down in their seats, they waited for the emperor to arrive and the food to be served.

Led by her maid, Jiang Tuantuan went to Yu Garden and happened to meet a girl in a light blue dress on the way.

Seeing that he seemed to be looking for something, Jiang Tuantuan stepped forward and asked, "Did you lose something?"

The girl looked up at the beautiful woman in front of her and said, "My hairpin accidentally fell off and my hair is all messed up. I need to find it quickly."

"Then I'll help you find it."

A hurried voice came from behind, "Ms. Wan'er, the hairpin has been found, but one of the beads has fallen off."

The person who spoke was Xiaoqi, the head maid beside Wan'er.

Wan'er frowned, holding the hairpin, looking a little embarrassed. What should she do? Her mother had said before that she had to dress well for a banquet, and her clothes couldn't be dirty or her hair couldn't be messy, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

Wan'er was so anxious that she was about to cry. Jiang Tuantuan saw that her cuffs were tied with lace with blue ribbons and came up with an idea.

"Your name is Wan'er, I have an idea, come with me."

Wan'er looked at the beautiful sister in front of her, nodded and followed her.

The maid brought them to a house next to the imperial garden, which was specially provided for the urgent use of the ladies attending the banquet.

Jiang Tuantuan untied the blue ribbons on both sleeves. Wan'er didn't know what she was going to do, but she still obediently let Jiang Tuantuan untie them.

She picked up the comb on the table and combed her hair straight, then divided it into strands and knotted them together, folding them on top of her head into a playful lily bun, which was very suitable for Wan'er's age and the clothes she was wearing.

Then she took two ribbons and tied her hair tightly, and then tied it into a bow. Wan'er exclaimed in surprise, "What is this? It's so beautiful."

"It's called a bow. It's cute, isn't it?"

She picked up the hairpin she was wearing on her head and put it through her hair. It was a silver hairpin in the shape of a butterfly with tassels hanging from the bottom. When she walked, it made a crisp tinkling sound, making her look lifelike.

Xiao Qi exclaimed: "Miss, you are so beautiful!"

Wan'er also thought it was beautiful and kept holding Jiang Tuantuan's hand to express her gratitude.

Jiang Tuantuan liked the girl the first time he saw her, and what he liked most was the clarity in her eyes.

When the door was opened, the maid waiting outside was delighted to see Wan'er and took them to the imperial garden.
