Chapter 27: Talent Show

Hearing the queen mother ask about the queen, Ye Lingyue was still a little strange, she thought that the beautiful woman in the red palace dress was the queen of Great Xia.

Although Ye Lingyue was not familiar with the rules of the palace, before entering the palace, Madame Lan also taught some basic etiquette, including some avoidances that need to be paid attention to at the palace banquet, such as eating, drinking, words and deeds, and even the color of clothing.

One of them, which is red, can only be worn by the queen at the palace banquet.

But the ...... in front of you

The beautiful woman in the palace dress raised her head, and in the lush lights, she was dressed in a gorgeous red palace dress, which was a little more bright and glamorous.

The golden phoenix pattern on the wide skirt is shining, the green silk on the head is also wrapped in a complex bun, and several round-colored Dongzhu embellishment is shining in the hair, which is full of brilliance.

This kind of dress is clearly to attract everyone's attention.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother originally planned to come, but the sixth prince fell ill again, so she could only ask her concubines to assist the Queen Mother and preside over tonight's palace banquet. "This beautiful woman, with a bewitching face and a plump body, is the current emperor's favored concubine Luo.

Luo Guifei is also the prince's mother, and the relationship between the prince and Hong Fu is very close, Hong Fang is the prince's protector, and Hong Yulang has been the prince's playmate since he was a child, and the relationship between the two families is very close.

Therefore, as soon as Fang Cai entered the table, Luo Guifei talked with Zhuge Rou.

At the mention of the Six Princes, the banquet fell silent.

The ladies and ladies who often come to the palace banquet know that the six princes born to the queen are sick, and the mother and son have been cultivating in the palace all the year round, and they almost do not attend this kind of occasion, and every time Luo Guifei presides over it.

After a long time, Concubine Luo has become the actual ruler of the harem second only to the Queen Mother.

As for the six princes, it was a taboo in the summer palace, and few people dared to raise it in the queen's back.

The Queen Mother's expression was a little displeased, she waved her hand, and didn't ask any more, just ordered the palace banquet to start.

The ministers' wives and the ladies of various families entered the banquet one after another, and the banquet began, and several court musicians and dancers walked into the banquet, playing, singing, and dancing.

The osmanthus is fragrant, the moon hangs high in the sky, and the palace banquet is also a happy scene.

Lan Lingyue casually ate a few bites of food, and saw that Mrs. Lan on the side was a little absent-minded.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Ye Lingyue thought that Mrs. Lan was uncomfortable for Nangong Qianlin's words earlier.

"It's nothing, I'm just worried about the illness of the queen mother, the sixth prince, it still doesn't seem to be improving. ”

When Madame Lan mentioned the queen, she was still in a trance.

Seeing Ye Lingyue staring at her, Mrs. Lan smiled apologetically.

"Before the queen mother entered the palace, my father was a teacher in her house, and we have been playmates since childhood, she was later elected to the palace, and I also married your father. In the early years, we still had contacts, but since the sixth prince was not in good health, she rarely showed up. Speaking of which, it's been many years. Speaking of the old past, Mrs. Lan seemed very emotional, and she sighed.

When the queen first married, she was deeply loved by Emperor Xia, but since the health of the six princes was not good, the queen's temperament has become much more withdrawn, and the friends who used to come and go no longer intersect, and even Emperor Xia was snubbed by her.

After a long time, Emperor Xia also favored other concubines, among which Luo Guifei, who was born as a palace maid with Emperor Xia, was the most favored.

The four princes born to Luo Guifei were also named princes because of this.

People in the court said that the crown prince would inherit the canon in the future and become the new Xia Emperor, which undoubtedly made Concubine Luo's status a few points higher.

"Ling Yue, my mother has one thing, I have always wanted to beg you, last time, you cured your father's illness, can you take a look at the illness of the six princes?" Mrs. Lan begged Ye Lingyue.

In Mrs. Lan's opinion, Ye Lingyue was able to cure all Lan Taishou's old diseases, and her medical skills must be much better than those of the imperial doctors and the monks of the Fang Shi Association.

Ye Lingyue was speechless for a while.

Speaking of which, she is a skilled doctor, but she just relies on Dingxi and Hongmeng Codex to learn from her.

But she can't tell her mother the truth.

"Mother, we'll talk about this later. After all, there are many imperial doctors in the palace, and neither the Queen Mother nor the Queen Mother will agree to let me treat the Six Princes as a half-hung monk. Ye Lingyue comforted her mother.

Madame Lan listened and nodded.

It's also that she is too anxious and forgets the rules in the palace, and it seems that if she wants to see a doctor, she needs to think about it in the long run.

As the mother and daughter were talking, the music stopped abruptly.

"Queen Mother, today coincides with the Zhongyuan Festival, and the moon beauties are reunited. The people present are all the daughters of the nobles of my Great Xia Palace, they are all capable of literature and martial arts, it is better to let the young ladies of each family come forward, perform some talents, and make your old man Chrysostom smile. Concubine Luo got a look from Zhuge Rou, understood it, and said in the ear of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother drank some wine and was in a good mood, so she nodded.

"Whoever performs well, the mourning family deserves a reward. ”

When the ladies of each family heard this, they all came to their senses, and this was a good opportunity to show their faces in front of the Queen Mother. The daughters of those civil servants stroked the qin and painted, chanted poems against each other, and the daughters of those military attachés danced swords and punched, and suddenly the palace banquet cheered again and again.

Hong Yuying also stepped forward and threw a beautiful set of swordsmanship.

"Hongfu Jiangmen Tiger Girl, Miss Yuying's swordsmanship is quite in the style of the prince and Taibao, and she will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold. ”

Hong Yuying won the reward, was proud, and went down like a peacock, at this time, she happened to see Ye Lingyue sitting with Mrs. Lan.

She frowned and said suddenly.

"Queen Mother, speaking of the Tiger Girl of Jiangmen, Miss Lan is the real Jiangmen, and her set of boxing skills at the palace banquet back then was appreciated by the Queen Mother. It's a pity that Miss Lan is not there, but the second miss of the Lan family is here, so it's better to let her perform instead of Miss Lan. ”

As soon as Hong Yuying's words fell, Mrs. Lan's face became a little more difficult.

Tonight, she can already keep a low profile.

It's just why, again and again, someone wants to provoke their mother and daughter. ”

"Oh, the second lady of the Lan family is also here. I heard that you are the daughter of General Lan who has just come back from the people, take a few steps forward and let the mourning family take a look. "The Queen Mother also heard that Lan Yingwu has another daughter, there are too many people at the palace banquet today, but the Queen Mother has forgotten, and she was reminded by Hong Yuying, she remembered it.

The other aristocratic wives quieted down, and their eyes looked at the seats of the Lan family's mother and daughter.

The Queen Mother likes the eldest lady of the Lan family, and she also made her the county lord, this matter has been passed on in the summer capital for a while, I don't know, this second miss of the Lan family, this time, can she get the love of the Queen Mother, or is it disgust?
