On the open and lofty pavilion, ventilated on all sides, very bright, here are all sitting together, that is, today's son and the concubine and all the officials. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the emperor's side, on one side sat Empress Dowager Xu and Concubine Xu De, on the other side were Empress Shu and Concubine Zhang Shu, and the rest of the decent internal and external wives and clan ladies were all arranged to sit in the back.

At this time, the lake is filled with the water swing performers falling into the water, and cheers are also heard here.

Concubine Xu put down the oranges she peeled for Empress Dowager Xu in her hand, and also applauded lightly.

She glanced coldly at Concubine Zhang Shu on the opposite side and smiled like a flower, and she didn't care about what Empress Shu was talking to the emperor about, Concubine Xu Defei hooked the corners of her mouth mockingly, and secretly scolded a slut in her heart.

Concubine Zhang Shu is no longer young, but she is the most charming one among the harem women, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are warm, and there is a world of difference from Concubine Xu De's mean face, even the young Queen Shu is not as sharp as her.

Zhou Yubai was born so handsome, Empress Shu is naturally extremely beautiful, but this kind of pure beauty that does not touch the breath of fireworks is not very pleasing to the emperor, the emperor does not care about cold fairies, he likes the Zhang family who can bring him pleasure and relaxation in the mortal world.

The emperor was nearly fifty years old, but he was well-maintained, wearing a stiff-legged head and a long beard under his chin, and he did not look like a majestic lord of a country, but an ordinary middle-aged scribe, elegant and thin, and very friendly.

Concubine Zhang Shufei was laughing and trembling, her voice was as delicate as a girl, and she was laughing and making a bet with the emperor about which boat would win the bid for a while, and she had already lost in the last round.

Empress Dowager Xu has gray hair and a rickety vest, but she still has the domineering spirit of killing pigs when she was young.

"What's the noise! The old man's head is cracked!" she glanced at Concubine Zhang Shu unceremoniously.

Empress Dowager Xu's voice may be able to bluff others, but for Concubine Zhang Shufei, she is really accustomed to it, just listen to her calmly instruct the chamberlain to pour a cup of tea for the Empress Dowager, don't call her old man shout down her throat, Empress Dowager Xu has a straight face, but she doesn't dare to attack again.

The emperor didn't say a word the whole time, and it seemed that no one would help, but in fact, he knew very well who his heart was to.

The relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is not good, the emperor was raised by Taizong himself, the Empress Dowager Xu is a butcher's daughter, but the ancestor has merit from the dragon, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, even Taizong himself looks down on his bad wife, so the emperor has no respect for her, plus she calculated many years ago that her son slept with her niece, which can make people lose their appetite for a lifetime, and it is even more that the mother-son relationship between the two is not very good, and there is nothing left.

Empress Dowager Xu is not a smart person, she has never thought of repairing relations with her son for so many years, and she is full of calculations to seize power for the Xu family and help her eldest grandson King Su to be the crown prince.

The emperor has been angry for many years, and feels that among the people in the world who are most eager for his death, his wife is probably one.

Under such a relationship, since the death of Emperor Taizong, the only person who can bring him "family affection" by the emperor's side is actually Zhang.

In His Majesty's heart, the Zhang family is the wife, and his wife and the Xu family belong to the trouble that blocks him, but it is only because of filial piety that he tolerates it a lot.

Seeing this, Concubine Xu immediately spoke out to relieve the siege, she also knew that her only hope was the Empress Dowager Xu, so over the years, she did not go to the emperor, and devoted herself to serving her aunt Empress Dowager Xu and hoped that the old man would live a few more years, her life span survived the emperor, the Xu family and King Su naturally had a good life, if the Empress Dowager Xu took the first step, it would be really sorry, according to the degree to which the emperor looked at them unpleasantly, the Xu family could not prosper for a few years.

Therefore, it is rare for Concubine Xu Defei to speak for Zhang, and by the way, she threw out the words that she had prepared a long time ago:

"Official, today's good situation, it is time to mention a few words of poetry to help the fun, several Jinshi of the new department are here, why not let them take this opportunity to show their talents?"

Concubine Zhang Shu just smiled, this Xu family coincided with her in this regard.

The emperor nodded, and asked the internal supervisor around him to send a small yellow door to spread the word, so that the new scholars could have a good game of poetry today.

The ladies sitting across the curtain at the back also have different expressions, and a few people who have walked through the road of Zhang Shufei and Xu Defei are particularly worried.

Qian Jinghua's mood was not very good, Mrs. Lian beside her pulled her sleeve and said softly: "Maybe I will come to pass you on in a while, and be alert when greeting a few masters." ”

Qian Jinghua nodded as if she hadn't listened.

It's not that she hasn't entered the palace to see the queen and the queen mother, but Mrs. Lian reminded her alone this time, and she also had the idea of letting the emperor give her marriage, of course, the holy decree could not be made today, but it was just to let the official family have an impression of her, and the rest of the matter could be logical.

Who to give the marriage to, Qian Jinghua already knew in her heart, and gave it to Zhou Yuchen, the king of Dongping County, the sixth prince.

Since the day Qian Jinghua entered Beijing, she knew that she would have this experience, and it was the loyalty of the Qian family to marry the prince.

But Concubine Zhang Shufei is a ......

Although the king of Dongping County is very promising, and the Qian family is also very interested in fighting, Qian Jinghua only feels tired, and she has no interest in these things.

The eldest princess of the country has an old relationship with the Lu family and Mrs. Lian, of course, this face is not enough to say that the Qian family married Qian Jinghua to Zhou Yuchen, and the more important reason comes from Qian Jinghua's mother.

She sighed slowly.

Mrs. Lian's daughter, Lu Furou, gently held her hand and whispered to her with her mouth: "Don't be afraid. ”

Qian Jinghua nodded.

Several figures wearing crimson official uniforms faintly appeared behind the curtain, and it was a few new science and technology scholars, who were answering the emperor's words, and the ladies here were naturally very excited, and even Princess Anyang, who had already been married, stretched her neck to look.

Princess Anyang is Concubine Zhang Shu's most beloved daughter, and now there is no unmarried princess in the palace.

The eldest princess of the country is very dissatisfied with Anyang, of course, part of this dissatisfaction comes from Concubine Zhang Shu, and part of it is that she feels that this Anyang is arrogant, it seems that she is trying to be comparable to herself, she is the only daughter of Taizong and Empress Dowager Xu, the only eldest princess, how can the daughter of the Zhang family be compared, it is simply beyond her strength.

The eldest princess of the country felt that she was offended, so she naturally reprimanded An Yang very unceremoniously, and did not save her face at all.

The ladies didn't dare to speak for a while, and no one dared to offend the arrogant and domineering eldest princess, so they just pricked up their ears to listen to the voices outside.
