Chapter 741: Congratulations on Birthday
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.
The sky was a little gray and a little depressing, but it did not affect the liveliness of the palace at all.
The Queen Mother's birthday banquet, four-grade officials and above can bring their families into the palace to celebrate her birthday.
Minglan entered the palace with great interest, she thought she could see Mu and Gu She, but she hadn't seen her for a while, she missed her father.
But she waited and waited at the carriage, and she didn't wait for Mu and Gu Shi to appear, but it was the old lady, who was late.
Bizhu helped Minglan to meet him, and seeing the old lady's haggard face, Minglan had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked, "Grandfather, why didn't my father and mother come with you?"
The old lady turned over and dismounted, and said, "There was an assassin breaking into the house last night, and your father was stabbed, so it's not good to bring the injury into the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday." ”
Minglan mentioned her throat in her heart, the assassination of Jingningbo Mansion is such a big thing, why no one has sent her news, who will assassinate her father?
Seeing that Minglan was worried, the old lady said, "Your father is not seriously injured, you are pregnant, and your mother is afraid that you will be worried, so she didn't let the maid tell you." ”
Minglan knew that the Mu family loved her, but it was not a trivial matter for the Bofu to break into the assassin, so he said, "When the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is over, I will go to the Bofu to visit my father." ”
There was a maid over there who came to invite Minglan, and Minglan blessed the old lady, so he went with the maid to see Concubine Liu Xian and Concubine Li Guifei.
Princess Ling Rou and Shen Zhuo, the eldest young master of the Duke of Wei's mansion, have decided to marry on the eighteenth of next month.
In this marriage, the relationship between Concubine Liu Xian and Concubine Li Guifei is even closer.
Seeing Minglan, Concubine Liu Xian personally stood up to greet her, among the noble ladies, only Minglan enjoyed such treatment, which was enviable, after all, Concubine Liu Xian was in charge of Fengyin, and she currently had the final say in the affairs of the harem, and she was also the most favored concubine in the palace at present.
Concubine Liu Xian smiled, "Sit down, I look like I've lost some weight?"
Minglan said, "Probably because I can't eat after vomiting these days." ”
"It'll be fine after a while," Concubine Liu Xian was happy for Minglan.
Only when she is pregnant and gives birth to a child, can her life be complete, and she teases the little prince every day to play, and no palace calculation can compare to the joy of the little prince blowing a small bubble at her.
If it weren't for the emperor stuffing the phoenix seal to her, she couldn't refuse, otherwise she really wanted to stay by the little prince's side all the time, and when he moved out of Changxin Palace when he was six years old, she couldn't accompany him all the time.
Concubine Liu Xian taught Minglan how to raise a baby as a person who came over, and most of the people sitting here had children, so they talked about parenting one by one.
Minglan couldn't laugh or cry, as if she had no experience at all......
She's also an experienced person.
But as soon as everyone was kind, she pricked up her ears and listened, and she could remember how much she could.
After chatting for a while, after a noble lady who was not young in the grade but had no children, everyone was afraid of poking her sadness, so they didn't continue.
Concubine Li Guifei drank tea and said with a smile, "I heard that Young Master Chu got married, have you heard of his marriage to a daughter from a wealthy family?"
Those noble ladies, you look at me, I look at her, and they all shake their heads in unison.
Young Master Chu is the eldest son of General Chu's Mansion, and his marriage is a big deal, how can there be no news?
"Did you hear it wrong?" said a noble lady.
Concubine Li Guifei smiled lightly, "This palace is from what the emperor said, and I can't be wrong." ”
The noble lady was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said that the emperor would definitely not deceive the concubine to relieve the embarrassment.
Then, Concubine Li Guifei looked at Minglan and asked, "Does Concubine Wang know who Young Master Chu married?"
How did Ming Lan answer this, Young Master Chu is Chu Li, and she is the one who marries her, she touched her nose and said, "Young Master Chu did marry a wife, but the husband didn't let me say it." ”
It's honest, it's shocking.
Is there anything that can't be said about this?
Does anyone dare to rob Chu Da Shao's grandmother?
"I haven't heard from Young Master Chu for a while, isn't it the Golden House Hidden Jiao?" said a noble lady.
Everyone smiled and envied Young Grandma Chu, who must be a blessed girl to marry Young Master Chu.
After sitting in the imperial garden for two quarters of an hour, a palace maid came to tell Concubine Liu Xian that the hour was almost the same, and she could sit down first.
Concubine Liu Xian got up and invited everyone to the birthday banquet, compared with the ordinary concubine, Concubine Liu Xian is much more humble, without the arrogance of the concubine, gentle and polite, and more pleasing to the noble lady.
Those noble ladies weighed in their hearts, Concubine Liu Xian is generous and generous, more tolerant, and more suitable to be the queen than Concubine Li, who will ascend to the throne in the future is really not certain.
The banquet place is full of lights and lively.
But this kind of excitement is not what the Queen Mother likes, these are the birthday banquets that the emperor held for her because Beiliang sent envoys to congratulate her on her birthday.
This year, the Queen Mother died too many relatives.
Such a birthday banquet, hundreds of officials celebrate their birthdays, but only the most beloved juniors in previous years are missing, for the Queen Mother, in fact, the heart is like a knife.
To say that the most cutting the heart of the queen mother is the eldest princess.
She gave a mutilated birthday gift to the Queen Mother, which was a picture of a hundred birthdays.
More than 60 large and small birthday characters were embroidered with gold and silver threads, which was the county lord of Changle who began to prepare for her birthday gift this year after the queen mother's birthday banquet last year......
Who would have thought that before the Baishou Diagram was completed, he was killed.
When it came to this birthday gift, the eldest princess burst into tears on the spot, the queen mother choked, the officials sympathized, and the emperor did not like it.
It's okay to cry now, after a while, the envoys of Beiliang came, crying in front of them, wouldn't it be a loss of face for Da Zhou?
And the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, an unfinished 100-year life map, also sent to the Queen Mother, it is too unlucky, to rely on the 100-year life map embroidered by the Lord of Changle County, the Queen Mother will not have a good life for half a year......
Concubine Liu Xian persuaded the Queen Mother, "Don't cry and hurt your body, today is your birthday, and the Lord of Changle will also wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan under Jiuquan." ”
The Queen Mother wiped away her tears, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "The mourning family is fine." ”
The ceremonial officer shouted at the top of his voice, "Congratulations to the hundred officials!"
The civil and military officials stood up to congratulate the Queen Mother on her thousand years, and then those ministers presented congratulatory gifts to the Queen Mother.
A decent gift, nothing particularly brilliant, a refreshing gift.
The queen mother remembered when the first emperor was alive, when the first prince was still there, she was the queen, and the first emperor held a birthday banquet for her, and the congratulatory gifts sent by those courtiers were more novel and interesting than the other, lest they not make her smile.
Time has passed, she is still the queen mother, but unfortunately in the eyes of the courtiers, it has become a decline, and the general trend has gone.
The Queen Mother felt sarcastic.
Seven or eight ministers congratulated them on their birthdays, and the Queen Mother didn't show a trace of a smile on her face, followed by the Zhao family's birthday.
Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao knelt down to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, as for Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao...... Didn't come at all.
Zhao Yan killed the county lord of Changle, Mrs. Zhao had no way to teach her daughter, the queen mother wanted to peel her skin when she saw her, where did she come to the palace to touch the queen mother's moldy head, the farther she hid, the better.
Zhao Yi sent a calligraphy and painting to the Queen Mother.
Mama Xu took it and showed it to the Queen Mother, the calligraphy and painting were nothing special, it was just a birthday picture, but the Queen Mother's eyes were moist.
The emperor glanced at it and furrowed his brows.
Why does this painting look so familiar?
