As soon as the Muyang King and his wife sat down, a eunuch announced that His Royal Highness the Prince, the Crown Princess and the side concubine had arrived.

The prince bowed to the saint and bowed, and behind him, Qi Caicai and Jiang Luxian also kowtowed, and the two greeted the prince according to the voice: "Your Majesty bows to the saint." ”。

The emperor looked at Concubine Hemei's eldest son in a very happy mood, and just wanted to give the children a seat, but Jiang Guifei lost her identity and exclaimed:

"Your Majesty, Zhen'er and Lu Xian are a perfect match. ”

"Oh?" said the saint with a look of wishing to hear about it.

Jiang Guifei said to the prince's side concubine, who was still kowtowing below: "Chen'er, Lu Xian, you come here, come and let Your Majesty take a look," Fu explained to the saint again: "The concubine's family all say that Lu Xian and the concubine look very similar, and Zhen'er looks like Your Majesty, but it is very interesting." ”

A little timid, and a little excited, his cheeks were red and fluttering, Jiang Luxian walked a lot more steadily because of awe, but in fact, his legs were weak, and he couldn't make a posture of twisting his waist and sending his hips.

Jiang Guifei saw it in her eyes, but felt that this niece was also a malleable talent, and she hadn't seen her for a few days, but she was a little more atmospheric than the cold appearance when she entered the palace last time.

When Jiang Luxian got closer, Jiang Guifei took Jiang Luxian's hand and brought it to her side, smiled skillfully, and talked about the topic eloquently, the saint listened with interest, and Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian occasionally echoed a few words interestingly.

Concubine De glanced at the crown princess lying on the stone brick floor, closed her eyes with pity, and turned the Buddha beads under the cover of her big sleeves.

King Muyang was quiet at this time, looking at his sister-in-law who had not yet gotten up in the palace with a playful face.

Although Jiang Guifei said that she had the intention to give the princess a dismissal, she didn't know if this princess was really stupid or scheming, and the saint didn't make a sound, and she didn't move, if the saint turned around after a while, I was afraid that she would blame her for being mean.

While continuing to talk and laugh, Jiang Guifei gave Ji Meiren a look behind her, but Ji Meiren has been standing quietly since she entered the hall, and she didn't react at all.

Jiang Guifei is extremely angry, and she can't show it, today she alone let Ji Meiren, who has a low position in the palace, stay, just to let her speak for herself when it is inconvenient for her, now it's good, like a dead person, doesn't this cheap maid know that her father died in Mobei, and she has resentment in her heart? Heh, it seems that she owes a lesson again.

No matter how angry she is, no matter how anxious she is, Jiang Guifei can't do it at this time.

The crown prince and Jiang Lu kept their distance, and glanced at Cai Cai who was still kowtowing from time to time, and the seat didn't get up for a long time, and he couldn't just keep lying on the ground, and he interrupted Jiang Guifei's talk with impatience.

"Sister Guifei, don't patronize talking to your niece and forget about the crown princess. Look at this kid is also sincere, just kneeling all the time, my sister is distressed when she looks at it. ”

Concubine Chen said and came to the hall to help Qi Caicai.

Qi Caicai got up and bowed, slightly raised his eyes and peeked at the bright woman in front of him, no powder, although the skin is not white, but with a natural and healthy luster, but a pair of eyebrow paintings are obliquely inserted like sideburns, the cheeks are dimple deeply, and the makeup is light, and when he speaks, a pair of peach blossom eyes are shining, not beautiful, but extremely attractive.

It's a long story, but it actually happens in the blink of an eye.

Hearing Concubine Chen's half-joking accusation, the saint suddenly realized that he had ignored the crown princess for a long time, Qi Long was his loyal minister, and this marriage was also given by himself, and he should have taken great care of this child, but he just paid attention to a prince and concubine with the concubine, and the concubine came to greet him and was hung out, which really shouldn't be.

The emperor's eyes when he looked at Jiang Guifei were a little worried, and Jiang Guifei had already realized it, so Qi Caicai, who had been forgotten aside, was suddenly cared for, from the saint, from the concubine, and from the prince.

Qi Caicai didn't feel how tired he was, after all, he was a martial arts practitioner, and he was strict in attacking Yunshang Palace when he was in Shuofang, and he often had a bad movement, so he had to practice this action for a long time, and it was really difficult for her to bow down with only one bow. This concubine used this method to rub herself for Jiang Luxian, and she really found the wrong person.

Because Jiang Guifei made a shame in front of the saint at this time, although the saint did not reprimand, Jiang Guifei and King Muyang did not dare to make another time, so the prince and the three of them smoothly toasted the tea and greeted the ladies again.

The emperor rewarded two new daughters-in-law because he still had something to do, and after sitting for a while, he was supported by the eunuch to go to the Vertical Arch Hall to deal with government affairs.

Without the coercion of the emperor, the rest of the people have a very tacit understanding of the previous one, and there is less wit in the words of talking and laughing, and more restraint and restraint, as if they have always been so happy. Only Jiang Lu couldn't see through the situation, and at noon, when the prince deliberately returned to the East Palace, he pulled Jiang Guifei's sleeve and said coquettishly:

"I haven't seen Niangniang for a few days, Lu Xian misses it very much," and said to the prince: "Your Highness will stay for a while~ The concubine wants to talk to the concubine Niangniang." ”

When the words fell, Qi Caicai's eyes were full of incredulity, and Jiang Luxian was full of incredulity, and except for Jiang Luxian, the side concubine who only had the prince's eyes, the rest of the people who judged the situation clearly saw the princess's expression of seeing a fool.

This crown princess, who has been silent since she entered Zeqing Palace, has the liveliness that she should have at this time, and everyone sees it in their eyes, and they have their own plans in their hearts.

Concubine De has been lowering her eyes since she had nothing to do, and she didn't look at others, but when she heard Jiang Luxian's words, she felt that this side concubine was pretentious, and the East Palace was afraid that she was going to make a fuss, and she took pity on the child.

Chen and Shu both smiled.

Concubine Chen is smiling, for Jiang Guifei's niece, Jiang Luxian, who is about to eat deflated, Concubine Chen is happy to watch a good show.

Concubine Shu peeked towards Concubine Jiang again, and saw that her expression was strange and her smile was far-fetched, the curvature of the corners of Concubine Shu's mouth was closed, and then she saw Concubine Xian and Concubine De both bowing their heads, and both of them pretended not to hear it, so Concubine Shu, who wanted to tease Qi Caicai a few words, hurriedly took a small sip of tea and hid her expression.

"In this way, the side concubine will stay, but the palace still has to go to Ciyi Palace with the crown princess, so she will retire first. ”

As he spoke, the prince pulled Qi Caicai to salute the ladies and sisters, and strode away without waiting for Jiang Guifei's reply.

Jiang Lu wanted to chase the prince away, but remembered what he had said, and looked at Jiang Guifei with a worried face, but Jiang Guifei turned her face away.

The atmosphere in the hall was instantly embarrassing, Concubine Chen took the lead in getting up and saying goodbye, saying that the birds in the palace had not been fed and had to go back to see, and then Concubine De also resigned on the grounds that she wanted to copy Buddhist scriptures, Concubine Xian hurriedly grabbed Concubine De's hand and said that she had already made an appointment with Concubine De to visit the garden today, how did she forget, Concubine De suddenly, so Concubine De and Concubine Xian left together.

The last remaining concubine glanced at Ji Meiren, who was standing behind Jiang Guifei with an unclear expression, and hesitated to speak:

"Sister Guifei, a few days ago, Ji Meiren said that she embroidered the pattern and showed it to me, but fortunately there is nothing to do today, so I'll go and get it with her, right?"

"Oh, isn't it feeding the birds and walking the garden, you're going to see the embroidery?" Jiang Guifei raised her eyebrows, and her words were sarcastic.

Concubine Shu was anxious to explain, but Jiang Guifei was no longer embarrassed, glanced back at Ji Meiren and asked her to go with Concubine Shu.

This cold attitude made Concubine Shu even more frightened, recently her father still had some ugly things that Mrs. Jiang needed to take care of, and it was too late for her whole family to treat Concubine Jiang as an ancestor, how could she offend.

"Why, aren't you going?"

Jiang Guifei's patience was about to run out, and her voice became colder and colder, everyone who was familiar with it knew that this was a precursor to anger, Concubine Shu said her guilt, walked in front of Ji Meiren and left in a hurry.

And now the palace people who serve in Zeqing Palace are all very eye-catching, and at this time, seeing that the situation is not right, they closed the door and withdrew from the hall one after another.

Suddenly, in the originally lively hall, only Jiang Guifei, Nanxun Shangyi and Jiang Luxian were left.

"Kneel!" Jiang Guifei said fiercely.

Jiang Lu's idle legs weakened, and he knelt down with a grunt, "Auntie......"

Looking at Jiang Luxian with teary eyes, Jiang Guifei calmed down and asked in a deep voice:

"Do you know why you were punished for kneeling?"

"Lu Xian knows that he is wrong, auntie, don't be angry," kneeling and crawling to Jiang Guifei's feet, Jiang Lu Xian skillfully pinched Jiang Guifei's legs: "All the mistakes are Lu Xian's fault, I just thought about telling my aunt about the East Palace last night, and completely forgot to go to greet the Queen Mother." ”

Jiang Guifei was pinched comfortably, and the color was softened, and when she heard that something was going on in the East Palace, she suddenly came to her senses and asked, "What happened to the East Palace?"

"The prince didn't rest in the princess's bedroom last night. Jiang Lu replied with a fluttering eyebrow.

Jiang Guifei was disappointed, "The crown princess couldn't have a round house at that age, what is there to be excited about?"

"Yes...... Lu Xian knows. Jiang Lu thought about it for a while and then shut up.

"It seems that the prince's maintenance of the crown princess today is pretending, and it looks good, it couldn't be better. Jiang Guifei gently touched Jiang Luxian's face, "Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, you have to behave well in front of the prince in the future, this concubine may be yours." ”

Jiang Luxian didn't get up, and looked at Jiang Guifei with admiration, "Aunt told me that Lu Xian will do her best, but this princess has a good background, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lu Xian to ban her if the prince loves her." ”

Nan Xun stepped forward to help Jiang Lu sit down next to him, and said at the same time: "The side concubine really looks down on others, and she is thin on herself, and now the nobles in Kyoto are envious of your family background." ”

Jiang Gui continued: "Lu Xian, you and the concubine are both married by the saint, and you are of average weight in the heart of the saint, and you still have the support of the palace to clear this obstacle, how can you not become the crown princess?"

"Please make it clear to my aunt. Jiang Lu kowtowed leisurely and very respectfully.

Nan Xun went to help him up again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this side concubine was out of the concubine after all, and she was full of servile faces, and she didn't know what the Taifu thought, so she took the trouble to send this qualification to the East Palace.

Jiang Guifei enjoys the flattery of others, she likes to see the lowly posture of everyone prostrate at her feet, Jiang Lu's humility just suits her appetite,

"Lu Xian, it is a big deal to have a round house with the prince as soon as possible, and the rest of the palace will remind you when necessary, you just need to remember that in the palace, your aunt is your closest person, even if you send red leaves to inform the palace, you often come to Zeqing Palace on weekdays, and your aunt will definitely help you." ”

Jiang Luxian was moved to tears by his words, and even the grievances of the days broke at this moment.

It was just lunch time, and Jiang Guifei softly coaxed Jiang Lu to go to the side hall to clean her face and hands, and then come back for dinner. Waiting for the maid to lead Jiang Lu away, Nan Xun said to Jiang Guifei with some worry:

"Niangniang, is it okay for the side concubine not to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye?"

Jiang Guifei closed her eyes, supported herself with one hand, and replied lazily:

"It's come to this, you can't send her again, right? The old pious woman will definitely not let go of this opportunity, she must use the side concubine to humiliate my Jiang family, or blame the side concubine for being stupid, and I will explain it when it reaches the saint." ”
