In less than two hours, there was a succession of wild girls with unknown records since the King of Linyang replaced the concubines, and the three princesses were rude, and there were assassinations in the palace, which were enough to make Emperor Zhaoming have a headache and anger, but he couldn't have a seizure, and he had to suppress the anger in his heart, and went to Yongfu Palace with a smile on his face to invite the Queen Mother to the Wanchun Palace for a banquet.

The queen mother didn't know that there was an assassin assassinating her grandson, only the arrogant third princess and the confused King Linyang were enough to make her angry, or the queen and the princess of Prince Le coaxed and begged for a long time, and the queen mother was able to temporarily eliminate the anger in her heart, and there was barely a trace of a smile on her face, and there was no embarrassment Emperor Zhaoming, who rushed over to invite him, came to Wanchun Hall surrounded by his sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law.

Wanchun Hall opened a hundred feasts, after the queen mother took a seat, she looked down at the civil and military officials who knelt on both sides of the head, and her mood was slightly better than just now, she raised her hands and said loudly: "Zhongqing is seated flat......"

Everyone thanked the Queen Mother and sat down, and this palace banquet was not as used to be in the inner hall and the outer hall to divide men and women, but to take the family as a unit, taking a reunion and happy meaning. There were husbands and wives and children sitting on the seats of other families, but he was the only one sitting in the seat of King Linyang, looking very anxious. The status of King Linyang is not low, and the seat is naturally at the front, even if the Queen Mother does not deliberately look at him, she can see him. As soon as she saw King Linyang, the Queen Mother was angry, snorted coldly, and glanced at Emperor Zhaoming unhappily.

Emperor Zhaoming knew in his heart why the Queen Mother looked at him like that, so he had to bear the anger of the Queen Mother with a smile. Just now he was about to order someone to change the seat of the King of Linyang, and the five princes came to report the assassin's matter, and Emperor Zhaoming forgot about it, and everyone was already seated at this time, if he deliberately changed the seat of the King of Linyang, the King of Linyang would be completely smashed in the face, and in the future, don't want to be based in Yanjing City.

"The queen mother is angry, today is your good day, don't let that foolish thing rush your interest, after the Holy Birthday Festival, the emperor will definitely deal with the king of Linyang seriously." Emperor Zhaoming looked at the Queen Mother with a slightly pleading look, and said in a low voice. The Queen Mother sighed, in the end she gave her son this face, and no longer cared about the matter of King Linyang.

The queen mother is not careful, but the king of Linyang is not so interested, just now he did not see the princess and his pearl of the sea, and thought that his pearl of the sea won the favor of the queen mother, and got the permission to accompany the queen mother, but the queen mother has already entered the table, and he has not seen the princess and daughter, and the king of Linyang is naturally not sure.

"Tai ......" King Linyang opened his mouth to speak, but he only opened his mouth, and Emperor Zhaoming had already quickly got up and knelt in front of the Queen Mother, raised the wine glass in his hand and said loudly: "Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the Emperor congratulates the Queen Mother on her birthday and Tianqi." ”

Emperor Zhaoming suddenly knelt, except for the Queen Mother, everyone else got up and knelt on the ground, wishing the Queen Mother a birthday and Tianqi in unison, and the small movement of King Linyang was instantly covered.

The Queen Mother smiled and picked up the wine glass in front of her and ate half a glass of wine, and said happily: "The emperor and queen please get up, and the ministers are flat." Everyone ate the wine in the cup and got up and returned to their seats, and there was another movement.

As soon as the King of Linyang took his seat, a little eunuch came to his side quietly, and whispered a few words in his ear. ”

The little eunuch secretly despised King Linyang in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Miss Xu is safe now." ”

King Linyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "I know, this king knows in his heart, and he will not embarrass the emperor." The little eunuch nodded and quietly left.

Emperor Zhaoming looked at King Linyang out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw King Linyang nodding to him, his heart was steady. I'll wait until it's over Shengshou to deal with it. Thinking of what happened today, Emperor Zhaoming couldn't help but sigh lowly, none of them are worry-free, what is the matter.

Princess Linyang revealed Xu Ziyan's identity in front of all the wives, so the princes and nobles who were attending the banquet in Wanchun Hall at this time had actually received the news from their own wives. Although few people know about the third princess, but she did not appear in Wanchun Palace, Liu Guifei and the eldest prince and the third prince are slightly better, but the smile is not so natural, the expression on the face of the sixth prince is much more straightforward, he looks at the eldest princess and the county lord of Pingrong with violent and resentful eyes from time to time, which of these officials is not the eyes of the body and mind, how can you not guess that the third princess will be punished so heavily in the face because the eldest princess and the county lord of Pingrong have made a big mistake.

Even if they didn't know about the assassins, those old oilmen in the officialdom secretly made their own decisions, and secretly informed their wives and children, so that they must not show themselves too much on the birthday of the Queen Mother, so as not to provoke unwarranted disasters. In this case, the birthday of the Queen Mother began in a slightly dull atmosphere.

Baiwei delicacies are presented like flowing water, but no one in the palace is in the mood to taste seriously, and it is not easy to stay up until the end of the banquet, and the ministers and foreign women can finally go out of the palace and return to the house, everyone is deeply relieved, and hurry out of the palace to return to the house.

Originally, Huangfu Yongning could go back to Dingbeihou Mansion with their Huangfu Jingde, but when the banquet was dismissed, Prince Le and Concubine Le ordered someone to come to Huangfu Yongning and asked her to accompany her out of the palace later. Although Huangfu Yongning was not very happy to stay in the palace, but Prince and Concubine Le had already sent someone to say so, and she was not easy to force herself out of the palace, so she had to say something to her father and went to Prince and Princess Le's side.

"Niangniang ......" came to Prince Le's side, Huangfu Yongning called in a low voice, and Prince Le's concubine gently patted the hand of her future daughter-in-law, and said in a low voice: "Yongning, thank you." ”

Huangfu Yongning was stunned by this sudden thank-you, she looked at Prince Le and Concubine in confusion, Prince Le smiled lightly, and gently held Huangfu Yongning's hand, Huangfu Yongning found that Prince Le's hand was cold and scary, palm

His hands were cold and terrifying, and his palms were full of cold sweat, as if he had been frightened by something.

Holding Prince Le's hand with his backhand, Huangfu Yongning said in a low voice: "You're welcome. Prince Le felt the warmth coming from Huangfu Yongning's hand, and her heart suddenly became much more steady. Since her husband's death, the faint uneasiness she would have every time she entered the palace suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Yongning, accompany the palace to Yongfu Palace." Prince Le and Princess Le whispered to Huangfu Yongning, Huangfu Yongning nodded in response, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out of Wanchun Hall and walked in the direction of Yongfu Palace.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stopped after only a cup of tea. "Concubine Niang, please stay."

Prince Le's concubine turned her head to look and saw that the person who spoke was the king of Linyang, she couldn't help frowning, and said unhappily: "What's the matter with Prince Xu?" ”

Huangfu Yongning looked at King Linyang, and saw that his face was pale, his eyes were black, his body was thin, his steps were weak, and although his dim peach blossom eyes were full of anxiety, his eyes when he looked at Prince Le and Concubine were still through a force that made Huangfu Yongning want to smash King Linyang's eyes with a punch. Coupled with the deeds of King Linyang that I heard from Qi Jinghuan just now, Huangfu Yongning could no longer have a good impression of him.

"Concubine Niangniang, Yan'er is a very good child, ask the concubine Niangniang to say a few kind words for her in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother doesn't know Yan'er, if you understand, you will know how good a child she is, Niangniang will definitely like her very much. The Queen Mother listens to your words the most, Xiao Wang begs you......" King Linyang said as he made a gesture to kneel down for Prince Le and the Princess.

Prince Le's face sank immediately, she ignored King Linyang at all, and said coldly: "Yongning, let's go." ”

The king of Linyang saw that the princess of Prince Le didn't pay attention to himself at all, and knelt down with a heart, but before he knelt on the ground, he felt a sudden pain in his ankle.

Although the princess of Prince Le didn't know why King Linyang suddenly fell, she knew that this was an excellent opportunity to get out, so she only shouted: "Come on, King Linyang stumbled and fell, don't hurry up and help him up." ”

Not far away, a few little eunuchs hurriedly ran over to support King Linyang, and Prince Le and Princess Le took the opportunity to walk quickly with Huangfu Yongning. After walking dozens of steps, Prince Le and Princess Le said in a low voice: "Yongning, King Linyang grew up in front of the Queen Mother since he was a child, and his relationship with the emperor is very unusual, but the relationship with the former king is very ordinary, and he has no contact with our palace. ”

Huangfu Yongning nodded, she had heard a thing or two about the King of Linyang before, and she heard Qi Jinghuan say something just now, so she naturally knew how to treat the King of Linyang, even if the princess and concubine of Prince Le did not specifically say such a sentence, the Dingbei Marquis Mansion would also stay away from the King of Linyang.

It didn't take long to arrive at Yongfu Palace, the queen mother saw the little daughter-in-law and the future granddaughter-in-law, with a smile on her face, Emperor Zhaoming saw Prince Le and the princess walk in, her eyes instantly lit up, although the queen also had a smile on her face, but the smile was full of helplessness and bitterness. In this deep palace, even if she is full of bitterness and pain, it is difficult to speak.

"Yongning is also here, the mourning family has heard what the emperor said, it's really thanks to you that Huan'er is safe and sound, emperor, you will definitely reward Yongning heavily." The Queen Mother looked at Huangfu Yongning and praised it. Emperor Zhaoming replied on the side: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the emperor wants to reward the emperor Pingrong County Lord, but the assassination of Huan'er in the palace is not suitable for publicity, so this reward will have to wait a few days before the decree can be issued." ”

Huangfu Yongning hurriedly bowed up and responded: "It's just instinct for the minister to kill the assassin, and he doesn't dare to be rewarded by the emperor, so he just asks the emperor to thoroughly investigate the assassin and find out the mastermind behind the scenes, so as to avoid future troubles." ”
