176 Queen's Birthday Banquet (3)

"Queen, I will listen to whatever you say now, as long as you are always by my side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shengshang's emotional words made the queen's eyes red and moist, "Queen, what's wrong with you, I just said casually, come, don't cry quickly, you are a birthday star today, you can't cry, be obedient." Affectionately coaxed the queen to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the eldest princess entered the queen's bedroom just to see this scene.

I have never seen it before, I stopped and stood quietly, and saw the saint holding the queen into his arms, patting her back gently, I don't know what words of comfort she was saying, only to see the queen shyly bury her head in the saint's arms. It's so good, Princess Celestia wants to do the same, but I don't know if there is this blessing. After a long time, the queen noticed the eldest princess at the gate of the palace, hurriedly pushed the saint away, and coughed a few times: "Yuanyuan, you are here, come in quickly." ”

The saint quickly let go of the queen and greeted the eldest princess with a smile, and the eldest princess walked over with light steps to say goodbye, thinking that the mother and daughter had something private to say. Shengshang soon left the queen's bedroom and held the eldest princess's hand affectionately: "Yuanyuan, the queen mother knows that she has wronged you and married the Marquis of Pingyang." Your father promised the queen mother that he would definitely let you marry in style, and the Marquis of Pingyang would not dare to bully you. If he treats you badly, you can go to the palace and tell the queen mother, and the queen mother will call the shots for you. ”

The kind words made the eldest princess cry, "What's the matter, Yuanyuan, if you really don't want to marry Pingyang Hou, don't force it." The queen mother will tell your father after a while, just stop this family business, okay? Don't cry, your crying will make the queen mother uncomfortable. Quickly wiped the tears of the eldest princess with a handkerchief, and the eldest princess shook her head busily: "Queen Mother, it's not like this, the son is willing to marry the Marquis of Pingyang." ”

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Grand Duke was going to produce some kind of moth. "The queen mother, the sons are just reluctant to leave the queen mother, and they can't often enter the palace to accompany the queen mother after getting married, and they don't know how long it will take to see the queen mother. It turned out that she was reluctant to let the queen go, and the queen chuckled: "Silly child, if you miss the queen mother, you can enter the palace to see the queen mother at any time, and you don't need to pass it on." Even if you go to the border, you can still come back. It's a big deal that the queen mother asked your father to give you a token, and you can return to Beijing at any time. Don't worry about that, be obedient, don't cry. ”

After crying for a while, my eyes were red, and it was not good to go out to meet guests. The second princess pouted: "Mother, what, don't you like these silks?" Seeing Concubine Xiao's gloomy face, she was indifferent in the face of the second princess's enthusiastic dedication. You said that how could the second princess not be frustrated in her heart, Concubine Xiao relieved herself: "You sent it, the mother concubine naturally likes it." Okay, go back to the palace! The concubine is a little tired and wants to rest. ”

When is this, Concubine Xiao still has the heart to rest. "Mother, the son wants to accompany you for a while, by the way, mother, can you help with Yan Dongnan's affairs?" Concubine Xiao raised her head suspiciously: "Do you know what you are talking about? Yan Dongnan took bribes, your father didn't speak, what are you anxious about? Besides, you are a girl's family, what do you do in charge of the affairs of the court, and you still want the mother concubine to interfere." You don't want to hurt your mother and concubine to be accused of interfering in the government affairs in the harem!"

As soon as Concubine Xiao's words were finished, the second princess waved her hand again and again: "Mother, I didn't mean that, I just thought that Yan Dongnan would not be corrupt and bribed, and he would definitely be framed." I want to ask my mother for help and save his life. "Stop, you don't have to worry about this matter, if you are bored, I will ask your father to marry you another day, and I will worry if you marry earlier." ”

"Don't, don't, mother, don't, I'm not in a hurry to get married, and I want to stay with you for a few more years. Mother, you can do it, don't go to your father, I beg you. The second princess pleaded with Concubine Xiao with her hands together, and Concubine Xiao doted on the second princess's head: "You! I really can't do anything about you, okay, I'll spare you this time." There must be no next time, otherwise don't blame the mother for being ruthless. Okay, hurry up and prepare, see the queen's birthday banquet, don't make any moths, do you hear? Your third emperor brother has been a lot kind to you recently, don't make him angry again, don't blame the mother for not reminding you in advance. You brothers and sisters must support each other in the future, and there will be no discord. ”

"Mother, what you said, the sons and daughters have firmly remembered it, thank you for the teachings of the mother, and the sons and daughters will leave. The second princess left Concubine Xiao's bedroom unhurriedly and went back to dress up. Yan Yunzhu stared seriously at the second prince Zhou Mingbo in front of him: "Can you really rescue my father?" seemed to be suspicious, Zhou Mingbo smiled and said: "Miss Yan, don't worry, I will never break my promise to you." I just hope the girl will give me a chance then, okay?"

Yan Yunzhu was quite hesitant, the husband in his mind was a big hero, not Zhou Mingbo, who was weak in front of him. However, for the sake of the Li family, let Yan Dongnan come out safely. Yan Yunzhu nodded and agreed, "Yes, as long as you can rescue my father." The second prince had to go back to the palace to see the queen's birthday banquet, and soon left Yan Yunzhu's boudoir. Yan Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, but he didn't expect Yan Yunlan to stand motionless.

Yan Yunlan took the lead in stepping forward to greet her: "Seventh sister, I came rashly, I won't disturb you!" "What can I do if I bother, can the sixth sister go back?" Yan Yunzhu sat down to drink tea unhurriedly after speaking, and Yan Yunlan's anger suddenly came up. Anyway, she is also Yan Yunzhu's sixth sister, why Yan Yunzhu doesn't understand any etiquette.

Of course she can't go back, since she is here, Yan Yunlan must say what she should say and do what she should do, and then sit next to Yan Yunzhu. Picking up the teacup on the table and drinking, Yan Yunzhu had no choice but to turn around: "Sixth sister, I don't know what is important today?" "I can't talk about important things, I just want to ask Seventh Sister, what are your plans for her father's imprisonment?"

Yan Yunlan said tentatively, wanting to get words from Yan Yunzhu's mouth, it was not easy. Yan Yunzhu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Sixth sister, you're joking, what can I do, I'm just a girl." That's the affairs above the court, it's not my turn to intervene, I don't know what the sixth sister has?" asked Yan Yunlan rhetorically, Yan Yunlan smiled wryly: "Seventh sister, don't say that, my father is the pillar of the Yan Mansion, if something happens to my father, it will have an impact on our Yan Mansion." The most important thing in our girl's family is to find a good husband, and we can't let my father have trouble, don't you say?"

Yan Yunzhu nodded in agreement: "Sixth sister, you are right, but I really can't help it, otherwise you go to your grandmother, maybe she can't say what a good way she has, isn't it?" Pushing Yan Yunlan towards the courtyard of the old ancestor, Yan Yunlan came out of the courtyard of the old ancestor, and the old ancestor was also worried. is spending money everywhere to send people to find out the news, but I only know that Yan Dongnan's life is not in danger now, and I don't know what will happen in the future, no one can say for sure.

If it weren't for his poor health, the ancestors would have wanted to visit Yan Dongnan in the prison in person, but it's a pity. Yan Yunlan also wanted to perform in front of Yan Dongnan and missed the opportunity. Soon sent Yan Yunlan away, Yan Yunzhu went to the silk village to find Yan Yunnuan, he had been hiding his heart in his heart, and he would be more comfortable if he found someone to share it. The queen's birthday banquet is naturally celebrated in the capital, and the saint ordered the entire capital to follow suit.

The palace welcomed a lot of ministers and family members early, and the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial doctor were indeed effective, and now the queen's complexion is much better. The saint waited for the queen outside the door, dressed in a red palace dress, long to the ground, and the thin waist was restrained by a cloud belt, which showed a lack of hand. A seven-treasure coral hairpin in the hair, reflecting the face like a hibiscus. The face is extremely gorgeous, and a pair of phoenix eyes are charming, but they are awe-inspiring. A green silk hair combed into a Yunhua bun, beautiful and graceful, the pearl the size of the little finger, bright as snow, stars flashing in the hair.

After finishing the makeup, he gently moved the lotus step to the saint, and the saint held the queen's jade hand affectionately: "Let's go!" Walking towards the imperial garden, the queen smiled and nodded. The second prince didn't know until this moment that Mo Linzi was sent by the Holy Lord to investigate the military situation on the border, and it seemed that Mo Linzi would not be able to come back for a while. It seems that he needs to find a way to save Yan Dongnan. On the one hand, you have to hide it from Concubine Tian, you can't anger her, and without Concubine Tian's help, the second prince is not cost-effective.

On the other hand, it is necessary to closely send people to collect evidence to prove that Yan Dongnan was not corrupt, but was framed. These have to be carried out secretly to avoid Concubine Tian's eyelids, and the second prince has no intention of participating in the queen's birthday banquet, but the saint attaches great importance to it. The second prince naturally wants to do what he likes and coax the saint to be happy. King Dongyang was waiting for Zhou Xingxing and Zhou Mingxue in the hall, but he didn't see Yan Yunju, so he couldn't help frowning: "Where is your princess?"

Glancing at Zhou Xingxing, "Back to my father's words, she is not feeling well today, I'm afraid she can't follow us into the palace to congratulate the queen on her birthday, and ask my father to forgive me." "Nonsense, if you are not well, you can not enter the palace, no, you are still stunned what to do, why don't you hurry up and invite the little princess to the hall and enter the palace together." He looked at Zhou Xingxing reproachfully and commanded the housekeeper. The housekeeper immediately turned around and left, "Father, since she can't go, don't force her." ”

Zhou Xingxing replied stubbornly, "You shut up for me, and I'll clean you up when I go back, can't you tell the difference, the queen's birthday, you dare to delay." And you, Xue'er, don't make trouble for your father for a while, remember?" Zhou Mingxue was watching Zhou Xingxing's jokes, but she didn't know that suddenly King Dongyang mentioned her, and she hurriedly agreed: "Father, don't worry, Xue'er knows that she won't embarrass you, let alone cause you trouble." ”

The promise of the oath made the king of Dongyang breathe a sigh of relief, and the housekeeper came in a hurry, his face was a little heavy: "Lord Qi, the little princess, she ......" lowered her head and didn't dare to raise her head. "What's wrong with her, what to do, just say it. "The king of Dongyang has no patience and has been waiting for Yan Yunju to come out," the little princess fainted in the house, and the old slave had already sent someone to invite the doctor to enter the door, and also asked the prince to atone for his sins. ”

Yan Yunju fainted, why Zhou Xingxing was like no one, and he didn't seem to know. The couple won't be making a fuss, "Then you let the doctor take the pulse of the little princess, let's go!" fainted, I'm afraid I won't wake up for a while, King Dongyang thought about it, so he could only take the Zhou Xingxing brothers and sisters into the palace, in case it was really late, it would be bad, and it would give people a tongue.

King Dongyang nodded to Pingyang Hou to say hello, of course, and then glanced at Dingbei Hou, in fact, to be honest, Dongyang Wang's son-in-law candidate is Dingbei Hou. Regardless of his character, family background or appearance, Dingbei Hou is a good candidate, and he is definitely worthy of Zhou Mingxue. Bigger than Zhou Mingxue, very good, so you can tolerate her. King Dongyang can rest assured that Zhou Mingxue will be handed over to him, as for Mo Linzi, King Dongyang doesn't like it, the Mingguo Mansion is not so good, even if the Dou family is there, there is no way to change the fact that Mo Linzi's biological mother is the eldest princess.

One after another, the ministers arrived with their families, and the saint and the queen sat together, not knowing what they were talking about, but they saw a bright smile on the queen's face from time to time. Let the people who were watching from the sidelines, such as Concubine Li, Concubine Tian and Concubine Xiao, hold a grudge in their hearts and are unwilling, the queen's maternal power is not huge in the capital, and the old lady has already returned to his hometown. In addition, the queen only has the eldest princess's daughter, why does the saint love her now?

The queen said softly: "Shengshang, the concubines are almost here, otherwise let's start!" Shengshang nodded: "Well, you're right." Then he instructed Gonggong Lin to start singing and dancing first, and eat while enjoying it. At the queen's birthday banquet that night, the saint was very happy to marry the Marquis of Pingyang and the eldest princess, which surprised many ministers. But they are all calm, and praise the wisdom of the saints.

Seeing the smile in the queen's eyes, the saint felt that everything was worth it. The eldest princess bowed her head shyly, and the queen was very satisfied. Concubine Tian muttered in her heart, this time the eldest princess gave marriage, next time I am afraid it will be the turn of the second prince, the third prince and the second princess. It seems that she has to hurry up and talk to King Dongyang and Duguye, who will help the second prince the most, whose daughter can become the second princess.

Concubine Xiao's eyes were naturally fixed on Dingbei Hou, she was indeed a talent, and the eldest princess was married to Pingyang Hou. Then the second princess marries the Marquis of Dingbei, no matter who it is, it is beneficial, especially the third prince. Concubine Xiao had to plan carefully, and the more she was satisfied with Dingbeihou's observation. The next day, the saint issued an edict to Yin of Jingzhao Mansion to try Yan Dongnan's corruption and bribery.

There has been no movement in the DPRK and China for the time being, and many ministers are watching, and no one has come forward to intercede with Yan Dongnan. "Mother, you want to leave the house, Xiao Jiu will accompany you!" It just so happened that Yan Yunnuan was going to go to the Silk Village, and by the way, he went to do something. When he met the Li family, the Li family shook his head: "Xiao Jiu, it's okay, you go to the silk village to take care of the store's business." Your father's business and your mother's business!

The Li family was unwilling to let Yan Yunnuan worry about Yan Dongnan's affairs, and what Yan Dongnan did to the Li family, the Li family knew from his grandmother's mouth. There are also Yan Yunzhu and Yan Yunnuan who went to Yan Dongnan and threatened him, all of which the Li family knew. I feel very sorry for the two children, and I have suffered a lot of grievances for the sake of the Li family. Yan Yunnuan could not rest assured of the Li family, and followed the Li family all the way to Dugu Mansion. The Li family must have come to ask the Wang family for help, Yan Yunnuan was waiting for the Li family in a secluded place, and after a while, the Li family walked out calmly. What should Yan Yunnuan do, wouldn't it be good to step forward like this? Continue to follow the Li family, and the Li family came to the Dongyang Royal Mansion to see Yan Yunju. The housekeeper was very respectful to her, and hurried in to pass the word.

Soon Li was led in to see Yan Yunju, Yan Yunju was lying on the bed, her face was pale, and Li was busy walking over: "Ju'er, what's wrong with you?"
