The family feast, as the name suggests, is a royal feast. In addition to the concubines in the palace, there are only a few princes and four kings with foreign surnames.

This year, the funeral in the palace is heavy, and it is not appropriate to do a big thing. Only hastily set up a banquet in the Jinhua Palace to receive the royal family.

At the Double Ninth Festival family banquet, Situ Yun and Wei Qian made a small sacrifice together and worshiped Tao Gong.

Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums and is known as the god of chrysanthemums, as well as the chrysanthemum fairy. Situ Yun and Wei Qian each worshiped the male and female flower gods.

Then Situ Yun gave the words and gave dogwood wine to the hundred officials, and Wei Qian was ready to send chrysanthemums and golden hairpins to the wives.

After the two of them finished their work, they cleaned up their hands and prepared to go to Jinhua Palace.

Xiangling saw that the two of them were busy with their work, and joked to Wei Qian with a smile: "Niangniang and His Majesty are really a good match, this kind of thing is much better than the queen's mother." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wei Qian twisted Xiangling's nose: "Be careful that the queen goes to find you in your dream at night." ”

At this time, Situ Yun changed his clothes and the two set off together.

"This time, you pay attention and put up a stand in front of those princesses." Situ Yun whispered to Wei Qian: "The queen has not been atmospheric, you have to calm the field." ”

"Don't worry, the concubine knows." Wei Qian was not worried about the princesses, and smiled lightly: "Now they are all losers, why should Your Majesty worry?" ”

With the departure of the Emperor Taishang, the backers of the princes disappeared, and the five princes really lost their authority and were idle at home as idle princes. Even if the fifth princess is proud on weekdays, how dare she act in front of Wei Qian now?

"The four princes believe in Buddhism, and now His Majesty has made it clear and serious, and he has ordered someone to remove the relics pagoda in his house, and I believe that he will be honest for a while. As for the Third Prince...... Wei Qian chuckled: "Your Majesty is a Son of Heaven who serves Taoism, how many people are willing to follow him?" ”

Situ Yun smiled with satisfaction, yes, he is not religious. But believing in religion can bring him great benefits, and he doesn't mind canonizing a few national teachers and revealing his tendencies slightly.

The Emperor Taishang believed in religion, and Situ Yun's actions could win the love of his father. It can also eliminate Taoism's support for the Three Princes. On the side of the fourth prince, he doesn't need to do it, and the Taoists will only help him eliminate the influence of Buddhism.

The three princes were born, and Situ Yun's life was better.

In the past, these princesses were arrogant, and the queen was often teased by them when she was a princess. In the next few times, the queen didn't have time to find the field. Situ Yun desperately hoped that Wei Qian could help him kill the prestige of these imperial sisters-in-law.

"The concubine can save herself." Wei Qian was calm, and Situ Yun closed his eyes thinking about the current government.

"Now the three imperial brothers have no power to resist. As long as the Wu family and a few foreign kings are cleaned up, I can take sole power. ”

The Wu family is a powerful minister, and the foreign surname Wang is the most taboo for the royal family.

The four kings and eight princes have always been in the same spirit. But Wei Qian and Jia Yuanchun told Jia Fu early, and now Jia Fu is honestly following behind Situ Yun.

The four kings couldn't stay, but the Eight Kingdoms Mansion left one or two, and Situ Yun didn't care. Not to mention the two more favored concubines.

The two entered the palace, and the queen mother sat down with the concubines under the support of Jia Yuanchun, and the princes and princesses of each family had been waiting for a long time.

Wei Qian focused on Concubine Zhen Gui.

Concubine Zhen Gui was in low spirits, although Empress Dowager Chen didn't do anything on her face, she only needed to show a little attitude, and someone below naturally helped her get angry.

Now Empress Dowager Chen is a well-deserved harem master, sitting on the top seat with Yuan Chun's support. Looking down at the opponents of the past, the concubines were respectful and respectful, and did not dare to be careless.

Yuan Chun sat on her right hand with a big belly.

"Sons/concubines visit the queen mother/queen mother." Wei Qian and Situ Yun saluted, and the Queen Mother smiled: "Sit down, sit down, you're done over there?" ”

"Concubine Ning has helped the child handle it properly, and she has already given flowers to all the wives." Situ Yun and Wei Qian sat down, Situ Yun sat on the left side of the Queen Mother, and Wei Qian was on Situ Yun's left hand.

The queen mother, the emperor and the second concubine are in the main seat, and the concubines and concubines are on the right under the leadership of Concubine Wen. The princes and princesses are on the left.

"The Double Ninth Festival should be celebrated. But the mourning family thought that there were too many white things in the palace this year, so they should be simple. But it's hard to prepare carefully for Concubine Ning, so let's do your best. There is no need to be a etiquette today. ”

Wei Qian asked Xue Baochai to arrange it in Jinhua Hall early, and all kinds of chrysanthemums were placed in the hall. Mainly golden, supplemented by green, red and pink colors. There are also several treasures, which are the only ones that Wei Qian asked the plum blossom fairy to come forward and ask for the chrysanthemum fairy.

"Your Ministers obey."

The people saluted and sat back in their seats.

But it's one thing for the Queen Mother to say that, but everyone is cautious and doesn't dare to make a mistake.

"Speaking of which, it seems that Concubine Xian's baby is about to be born?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Concubine Nan'an took the initiative to speak.

Jia Yuanchun's birth is seven months old, and according to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, it seems to be a boy.

Wei Qian's eyes moved, but he didn't speak. According to her and Ling Lan's calculations, Jia Yuanchun should not have given birth to a boy, and it was a blessing that she could give birth to a princess in her life.

But now that Jia Yuanchun is pregnant with a dragon son, Wei Qian vaguely feels that something is wrong. It seems that this dragon son was done on purpose?

She didn't know that this dragon fetus still had some relationship with her. On that day, Wei Qian was almost exposed to cultivation by the queen's design. The two of them had prepared, took out a piece of jade pendant to attract dragon qi, and prepared to help Wei Qian cover up when the time came.

However, they were sent to the palace through Jiafu, and when Mrs. Wang heard about the miraculous effect of the jade pendant, she would not leave it to Wei Qian, but handed it over to Jia Yuanchun to wear closely.

Fortunately, Wei Qian reacted in time, and Ling Lan asked his early anonymous disciple Qin Tian Supervisor for help, and finally fooled the past. Wei Qian also took the initiative to seal the cultivation in those days, avoiding Situ Yun's exploration.

As for the jade pendant, because of the dragon qi, it nourished Jia Yuanchun's body, and when the second dragon raised its head in February, the jade pendant was wrapped in dragon qi and put into the body to transform into shape, which was born from pregnant yang qi.

Jia Yuanchun smiled at Concubine Dong'an: "The imperial doctor said that there is still a long time." ”

Her baby was a bit difficult and was supposed to be born prematurely.

She touched her belly and carefully cared for the dragon fetus.

"For our royal family, it is a blessing to have many children and grandchildren." A concubine opened her mouth to flatter the Queen Mother.

The queen smiled: "Yes, if it is a prince, this is the blessing of my family." ”

Emperor Taishang died, and Situ Yun couldn't have sex for a long time. Except for Jia Yuanchun's fetus, the harem could not give birth to a dragon son for a long time.

The third princess smiled slightly and looked at Wei Qian: "It's a pity that I am now filial piety to my father, otherwise Concubine Ning can also give His Majesty a branch and leaves." ”

It's coming, it's coming!

Situ Yun's eyebrows moved, only to hear Wei Qian next to him laughing: "What Princess Cheng said is very true." However, for the first emperor to keep filial piety, this is our duty, and there must be no evil thoughts. ”

Wei Qian pinched a grape and pointed to something: "In the past, this palace was often heard of among the people. After the father's funeral, there were sons who couldn't hold their breath, and there were those foxes who seduced the young master and secretly had sex for fun. I thought that I could avoid future troubles by using the decoction of Shunzi, but I didn't know that people were doing it, and the sky was watching. ”

Wei Qian's words were there, and everyone's expressions were abrupt, Wei Qian continued: "We are the royal family, and we are the role models of the world, so we must not behave like this." Otherwise, even if His Majesty has the heart to protect it, it will be difficult to save. ”

swept his eyes and looked back and forth among several princes, not knowing who to look at again.

The princes were beating drums in their hearts, and their faces were stiff.

This is an unwritten rule, really keep filial piety and don't touch a woman for a year? Even Situ Yun wanted to touch it, but was stopped by Wei Qian several times.

Now Situ Yun is a little weak-hearted, thinking that Wei Qian is referring to him. But seeing that Wei Qian's eyes fell on those brothers, especially a few brothers with wrong looks, he immediately stood up and said righteously: "Yes, what Concubine Ning said is very true. I am from a heavenly family, and I must not have this kind of scandal! ”

Wei Qian showed her demeanor, took the lead and said softly to the third princess: "Princess Cheng has no concubines. But don't be in a hurry, according to the folk rules, although it is possible to have sex after a year. But our heavenly family is sincere, and my sister might as well wait for the expiration of the three-year filial piety period to add incense to the third prince. ”

This is to force us to die! The princess had a dark face and was about to retort. But after Wei Qian nodded at her, she said to the princess of the fourth prince: "I should have thought about the royal family when I married into the royal family." In addition to multiplying children, it is also necessary to teach children to serve the country and the people. If you have a tyrannical temperament and disregard for human life, you need to know that the royal family is guilty of the same crime as the common people. ”

Princess Shun remembered that her eldest son had caused trouble not long ago, and Nuo Nuo responded. But I secretly hated in my heart, this girl just became a concubine, and she dared to pose in front of us?

The princess and princess are of the same grade as the concubine. But it is obvious that the concubine is taller than the princess, after all, she is the real princess.

Wei Qian took out the imperial concubine's shelf and pointed to the two princesses, and Situ Yun listened to the coke in his heart. These words were all said by the two imperial sisters-in-law to their husband and wife in the past. The queen was weak, and she didn't dare to refute it.

Now that Wei Qian has changed the imperial concubine shelf one by one, in front of Situ Yun, the two princesses dare not have a word of rebuttal.

The two princesses looked at each other, thinking about how to block Wei Qian, and their eyes fell on the fifth princess.

The five princes and their wives buried their heads, and they didn't dare to speak from beginning to end of this banquet.

Wei Qian was majestic, and Situ Yun and Empress Dowager Chen were secretly happy. Without the pressure of the emperor, the power of the two of them has increased, where do these princesses and princesses dare to contradict?

Wei Qian slapped her face when she spoke, and the anger that the two had held back for many years slowly vented out.

However, Jia Yuanchun maintained a graceful smile, and his heart kept churning.

A few days ago, Mrs. Wang entered the palace and mentioned to her all the things in the palace.

"Now that Wei Qian's little girl is relying on her daughter, you are wantonly taking power during your pregnancy, daughter, you need to prepare early!"

At present, the power of the harem is in the hands of the Queen Mother, and it is obvious that the Queen Mother believes in Wei Qian, and Wei Qian controls the real power of the harem, even the sacrifice to the Emperor Tianhou soil, she cooperates with Situ Yun. Not to mention today's Chung Yeung Festival small festival.

Although Jia Yuanchun is trustworthy to Wei Qian, his mother's words are recalled in his ears: "Daughter, it's not that the mother is talkative. Do you know what Wei Qian's girl is called outside? Little queen, except that there is no position for the queen, what do you see she lacks? The power is in hand, and she is also a concubine, even weaker than your position, but her reputation outside is far above you! ”

Jia Yuanchun twisted the veil and thought in his heart: "Indeed, my cousin is too popular, if this momentum continues, I'm afraid the position of this concubine will ......."

Wei Qian has no children, and Jia Yuanchun still doesn't care. But Wei Qian is too capable, and Wei Qian's background is far above Jia Yuanchun. Even a concubine can do it. The only obstacle was the few marriage engagements that year.

If it weren't for this stumbling block, he would have been able to become a concubine in one step back then.

And now, gradually winning the hearts and minds of the people, that bit of old things has long been forgotten.
