Concubine Yu didn't understand whether Xia Meng's words had a deep meaning for a while, but her face was taught and nodded in response: "It is this principle, but the concubine Niangniang sees more than the concubines, although the concubines are idle on weekdays, but they can't help but think about it a lot, always thinking about what to eat today, what to eat tomorrow, and there is no quiet day!" ”

Concubine Yu's words were playful, and the concubines next to her all laughed funny.

Xia Meng also smiled and shook her head, and went in with her, and the other concubines followed, only Li Wanmei watched them from a distance and did not move.

Qinghe wanted to ask, but when he turned his head, he saw Li Wan's eyes full of jealousy and couldn't help but hold back again. Although she doesn't want to hurt her mother, if she takes the initiative to find death, she doesn't have to stop her, right?

In the Chaoyang Palace, at this time, the emperor's relatives or the ministers of civil and military affairs have already sat in their positions and talked around, and the place where the concubines sat was separated from the outside by a screen, and the people on the opposite side could not see this side clearly, but the concubines could see that side clearly.

Xia Meng looked at the quiet place that seemed particularly abrupt in the harmony of everyone, where Xia Tiancang sat with a cold face and did not make a sound.

As if sensing her gaze, he glanced up at her, and lowered his eyelashes.

Concubine Yu sat on her right hand, and happened to see Xia Tiancang too, and couldn't help but laugh quietly: "Speaking of which, the general and the concubine Niangniang have similar personalities, and they are both characters who seem to be unattainable. Niangniang's face is cold and warm, this is what everyone knows, the general is also fighting for the country, protecting the family and defending the country, now Niangniang is even going to give birth to the prince, but the general has never married, and I don't know which daughter to be cheaper in the future! ”

As soon as these words were said, the other concubines couldn't help but start thinking that there was a marriageable sister in their mother's family, not to mention the side, just the general was trusted by the emperor, was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and had great military achievements, which was enough to make people moved! What's more, now that Da Zhou's favorite concubine is his younger sister, pregnant with the emperor's first child, the future of the Xia family is limitless!

Xia Meng smiled and waved her hand: "That's it, what happens to the eldest brother is not something that this palace can worry about." Bengong doesn't look forward to anything else, as long as the eldest brother can find someone who is good at running a family and can take care of him, Bengong will be relieved, as for whether he is from a famous family, it doesn't matter if he is a big deal. ”

"Hahahaha! The concubine is telling the truth! Emperor Cheng Xuan walked in through the side door behind them, obviously overhearing their conversation, "It's just that I remember that when I wanted to marry Xia Aiqing before, the concubine stopped me and said that she would personally pick a good one!" ”

Everyone hurriedly knelt down to greet him: "See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!" See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Mother Wanfu Jin'an! ”

Xia Meng stood up with the help of Yuzhu, and when she heard Emperor Cheng Xuan's ridicule, she only smiled and said: "The concubine was young and ignorant, and she only thought that her brother must be excellent, so the sister-in-law has to pick a proud one!" Now that she is pregnant, although she has not been born, she is already in the mood of being a mother, and she feels that no matter how good she is, it is not as important as treating her eldest brother well. ”

Emperor Cheng Xuan smiled and nodded: "You have understanding!" ”

The others couldn't help but look at Queen Yan, whose face did not change, and then at the smiling Xia Meng, and knew in their hearts that it was not a rumor that they were afraid of being favored!

Although the queen mother didn't like Xia Meng to be in the limelight, she also knew that she had to pay attention to the influence at the state banquet, so she didn't say anything.

"Emperor Zhao has arrived—"

"Emperor Yan has arrived—"

Everyone stood up and greeted each other: "Welcome to the two saints!" ”

The man who walked in first was wearing a dark robe, his face was domineering and handsome, and his majesty came with his own, and at a glance it made people feel intimidating in their hearts, and they understood that this person was cold-blooded and ruthless, it was Zhao Ziqing. The bewitching woman standing beside him was holding a brocade box, smiling and welcoming people.

If Zhao Ziqing is like a sharp sword cutting into people's hearts, then Yan Huan's appearance makes people feel that they are in the nine heavens.

If Yan Huan's appearance is not like a mortal, it is not an exaggeration, there are 3,000 fans in the harem, and none of them can compare with it! Dressed in a moon-white robe, the green silk is bundled, and the expressionless appearance is like a cold wind. He is handsome but dusty, which makes people yearn for but is deterred, just because he looks up and feels that he is not worthy.

Yin Rong snorted in his heart when he saw everyone's amazing appearance, stupid man! One by one, they kept saying that their Yan Kingdom was pedantic and only knew how to believe in great witches, and now that they see the king, they should always understand that there are really immortals in the world, right?

"Today is Emperor Chengxuan's birthday, and there is nothing unusual for the widow to send, so I will prepare a small gift, and I hope to forgive me!"

Zhao Ziqing said polite words in his mouth, but his face was very calm, after all, there was still a dispute between the two countries, and no matter how nice he said, it was false.

Emperor Cheng Xuan naturally said politely, and saw the enchanting woman step forward to open the brocade box, revealing the jade jue inside.

The delicate and transparent imperial green, and even more rare is the naturally formed dragon shape, which looks very luxurious.

The ministers hurriedly said in harmony: "Congratulations to the emperor!" "They always like to take these naturally formed things as a good meaning, and the dragon is the son of heaven.

Although Emperor Cheng Xuan didn't feel how happy, he also made a look of liking, and said with a smile: "Emperor Zhao is polite." ”

Zhao Ziqing raised his eyebrows slightly, snapped his fingers with his right hand, and hooked his lips: "The widow has gathered a group of beauties in Zhao State, and I want to make a fun time for Emperor Cheng Xuan, please don't dislike it." ”

Everyone looked at each other, Emperor Zhao was blatantly using a beauty?

As a result, the beauties who walked in made them silent instantly, such a bewitching beauty, Emperor Zhao was really willing to do it!

Emperor Cheng Xuan accepted it with a smile, but there was no joy in his eyes.

Yan Huan, who had not made a sound, raised his hand slightly, and Yin Rong stepped forward and handed the brocade box in his hand to the eunuch waiting at the foot of the jade steps: "This is the jade lotus that is rare in the snow mountain of my Yan country in a hundred years." ”

Emperor Cheng Xuan saw Wang Yongxi open the brocade box, and the lotus flower lying inside was like a jade carving, and there was dew on the petals, which showed that it was well preserved all the way. Moreover, this jade lotus has always had the miraculous effect of prolonging life, and it is rumored that there was once a national teacher in Yan Kingdom who could only live to be more than 100 years old by eating jade lotus.

"I'm tired." Emperor Cheng Xuan nodded with a smile, and did not show any abnormality.

Yan Huan still bowed his head slightly with an expressionless face, and then he said the first sentence: "You're polite." "The voice is cold, but it is very pleasant.

Seeing that Zhao Ziqing and Yan Huan were seated separately, the jade concubine who was sitting here watching slowly spoke: "Sure enough, they are all extraordinary, but they have opened our eyes." ”

The others whispered, only feeling that the emperor was indeed different.

"How is the concubine's body? Do you feel unwell? "Queen Yan's voice is neither high nor low, which happens to be heard by the female guests.

And Yan Huan, who was sitting opposite, also looked at the screen when he heard this.

Obviously, he couldn't see anything through the screen, but he felt that something on the other side was attracting him
