Chapter 96: Not qualified to attend the banquet. 

Acted as Niang Niang, sending food as a birthday gift for Empress Dowager, is also really a little bit unfavorable.

The two people discussed it over and finally decided to send that jade coral Sister Zhou had previously prepared in advance.

Although this jade coral is not particularly expensive and precious, at least it can be taken as a birthday gift.

If Niang Niang’s birthday gift is really unpresentable, then take out the jade coral. 

Lu Yunluo had been busy in the kitchen for the entire day.

Yin Shuang and Sister Zhou could clearly smell the steamed stuffed buns outside.

The two people’s eyes locked. It’s over, Niang Niang is really preparing to steam a pot of steamed buns to give to the Empress Dowager as a birthday gift.

In the evening, Lu Yunluo finally got it all done, covered with a thick layer of gauze, instructed no one to move, before moving her stiff neck to sleep.

On the afternoon of the day of the banquet, Sister Zhou was pacing back and forth in the courtyard with an anxious face.

The banquet was about to begin in the afternoon, but their Cold Palace hadn’t received any notice that they could attend the banquet until now.

A movement came from the doorway, Yin Shuang came back from outside, Sister Zhou hurriedly went forward and asked, “How is it? Did you find out?”

Yin Shuang shook her head and said, “Asked, they said that our Niang Niang has no rank and is not qualified to participate in the banquet.”

“What no rank? If I look at it, it is to see that the Emperor did not come to the Cold Palace anymore this period of time, nor declared the Empress to serve in the bed, thinking that our Empress must have fallen out of favor, so he is doing something like that.”

Yin Shuang’s face was full of indignation. 

In the Harem, it was a place where one looked at the Emperor’s eyes and acted accordingly.

Which consor the emperor favored? That consort, even if it is the lower rank one, then in the palace, no one dares to mess with her. 

If the emperor loathes any concubines, that is, again, even in high position, that also has to exercised restraint. 

Sister Zhou sighed, if there is no eunuch to announce it, even if Niang Niang goes there, there is no seat available for her. 

These people must be seeing that during this period of time the emperor did not turn over the cold palace wooden board, seeing that the cold palace is out of favor, that’s how it was arranged like this. 

As they were talking, Lu Yunluo walked out from the inner room in the eunuch’s costume.

“Your Highness, what are you…?” Sister Zhou looked at Lu Yunluo with a puzzled face.

Lu Yunluo raised her head and smiled slightly, “Going to join a banquet.”

It had been half a year since she crossed over, and it was still the first time the palace had held such a banquet.

How could she, who loved to get together or join the fun so much, not go to see it?

If she wasn’t allowed to participate using her identity as Niang Niang, then she could always use her eunuch identity, right? ――

Period of the day from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., the entrance of the palace had already begun to be crowded with carriages, and one after another, many ministers had brought their female family members into the palace.

The banquet was arranged in the imperial garden, besides the high platform for the emperor and the empress dowager, both sides were flanked by long rows of tables and seats.

The left side is seated by the male family members, the right side is seated by the female family members.

Yao Guiren today is dressed splendidly to attend, a bright yellow embroidered with printed silk brocade of hundred flowers and the waist tied with the same color of the water wave pearl belt. Her ears, drop with lapis lazuli earrings, exquisite hair bun with sparkling starry jewelry shakes, which is very beautiful and moving. 

Her delicate face is wearing a faint smile, every move, all show the dignity and elegance of the harem imperial concubines, indescribably touching and beautiful.

The moment Noble Consort Yao appeared on the scene, she caused everyone present to cast a sidelong glance. 

It had long been rumored that this first daughter of the First Grade General Bai Zhenhai was gentle and virtuous, with excellent character and appearance. They didn’t expect to see it today since she lives up to her reputation.

With just that elegant demeanor, it is not something that can be raised in a small or poor family.
