The birthday banquet of the Queen Mother was very lively and powerful.

Countless rare tributes were offered, and the dazzling array was dazzling, and the eyes were dazzled; Countless delicacies are put on the table, and there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

The dignitaries talked and laughed, and the palace maids and eunuchs shuttled through.

The royal grandeur and luxury are undoubtedly revealed.

Emperors and empresses pay their respects; The prince and grandson pay their respects; The royal family pays homage to the birthday; The courtiers ordered their wives to pay homage to their birthdays; congratulatory gifts from expatriate officials from various provinces; The palace guards congratulate the birthday......

Not to mention anything else, just these programs go down one by one, and a day has almost passed.

In the evening, it is the official birthday banquet, as well as the performance of the pear orchard in the palace and the team invited from outside, this banquet will last all night and will not disperse until dawn.

And the square outside the palace will also be very lively. On this day, many people will also prepare gifts to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the flowing water mats outside will be displayed for several days, and the trees on the street will be wrapped in silk and satin, and lanterns will be hung to decorate the night as if it were day.

Troupes, jugglers, and magic performers all gather here.

The whole capital will be like a festival.

If the queen mother is in a good mood, she will appear on the tower of the imperial city, beckoning downwards and having fun with the people.

Just for one person's birthday, it used almost the manpower and material resources of the entire dynasty. This kind of weather is impossible to see in modern times.

Red Seven can be regarded as having a long experience, but he is also tired.

With her current status, she is not qualified to appear on such an occasion.

Which one here is not Mrs. Decree, the princess and the county lord, and the most secondary, there are no such titles, and they are also official ladies who often go in and out of the palace and have a good relationship with everyone in the royal family, such as Zhou Zihua and the like, who used to be a princess companion.

Especially today, she has other plans, and she is even more reluctant to mix them up.

After getting the news from Li Mo's side, Hong Qi also refused because he was unwell, but Li Mo was very persistent. If you oppose it too much, it will not be good to arouse Li Mo's suspicions. Therefore, Red Seven can only come.

Finally, after the day's ritual was completed, and finally in the evening, after the formal palace banquet, the royal courtiers and other men played with the emperor together, and the queen mother's ladies made another place, and set up several stages, some singing, some performing juggling, some storytelling, and the ladies were in groups of three or two, and they were scattered. (.)

The people who stayed by the Queen Mother's side to wait were all ladies and ladies with great faces.

The ladies of the Zhenbei Royal Mansion are naturally also in this ranks. Runan Wangfu was brought by the old princess, and Hongda did not come. It seems that the current Hongda is unprecedentedly favored in the Runan Palace. In order to let her take care of her body, the old princess really worked hard. Before, there was no such good thing.

"I'm tired! For the sake of my wife, I let you all suffer with it. I didn't need to go through the hassle and spend a lot of time. Although the imperial court has been relatively peaceful in recent years, thrift is the way to run a family. Such a pomp and circumstance is too extravagant. ”

The Queen Mother was a kind-faced old woman, shaking her head and sighing.

Immediately, there were talking ladies who said: "Now is the time when the society is peaceful and the treasury is full, not to mention the emperor, it is us, who does not look forward to taking advantage of the old queen mother's thousand years to be lively and lively, and show our great style." The people outside, all of them are happy as if they are celebrating the New Year, this is the scene that a peaceful and prosperous world should have. ”

"How the Queen Mother is doing is not a matter of the royal family, it is related to our prosperous country."

"I didn't see the envoys of various countries, and I didn't hesitate to travel thousands of miles to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, which shows the prosperity of our country."

"May the great prosperity be great for thousands of generations, and the old man of the Queen Mother will live for a long time."

Suddenly, the echoes were like clouds.

Coax an old queen mother to be happy.

"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you."

The female dependents of King Xiang's Mansion are also among the rest of the people, the mother-in-law of the Red Five, the former Princess Xiang is the filling of the deceased King Xiang, not much better than the Red Five, she is a young and beautiful woman, with a beautiful face and a graceful temperament, but, about because of the relationship between the new deaths of King Xiang, between the eyebrows, there is always a touch of sadness and sorrow, which is not compatible with the atmosphere of the birthday banquet, and it is a little out of place-

However, the Queen Mother takes special care of her, and from time to time she will ask her a question with concern, and it can be seen that she is very fond of this nephew and daughter-in-law.

The new Princess Xiang Hongwu was by her side, and the two said a few words from time to time, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be good. It seems that it is really doing well.

Red Five's eyes met Red Seven, but he didn't greet her, but avoided her.

In fact, although she came here, Hong Qi seemed to have been greatly favored, and it also showed a special honor, after all, no concubine had been invited like this.

However, after arriving here, intentionally or unintentionally, those who know and those who don't know, it seems that all people choose to ignore Red Seven.

It's just a concubine, and whoever talks to her is surrendering her identity.

Only Liu Ruye's gaze met that of Hong Qi, and he smiled at her.

Compared with Zhou Zihua, who stayed with Princess Rong, Liu Ruyi seemed to be more popular. The old lady did not shy away from letting her sit next to her, and talked to her from time to time, obviously very fond of her.

Liu Ruye's mother, Mrs. Shangguan, found out and quietly kicked her feet.

The current Red Seven is not the same as before.

In the past, although the lintel of the red family was a little lower, it could be regarded as a scholarly family, a serious lady, and Liu Ru had nothing to do with her.

However, now Hong Qi is just a concubine, if she still has dealings with her, she will be secretly talked about.

It is better to gather things in kind, people in groups, or to get rid of them a little.

Didn't you see Hong Qi's sister, the new Princess Xiang Hong Wu, in front of people, didn't she dare to meet her eyes? It's not that I'm afraid of other people's gossip.

Seeing this, Li Tong, who was sitting next to Princess Zhenbei, showed a smug smile on his face, and smiled demonstratively at Hongqi.

The queen saw this qiē in her eyes, and she had already thought of such a situation in advance. Still, even so, she still gave the will. Yes, the reason why Red Seven came was actually the queen's will. The queen did not want these noble ladies to accept Red Qi and regard Red Qi as a person of equal status with them. In fact, this is simply impossible, even if she herself can't accept such a thing.

A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine.

This is legislation, this is a system, there are no rules, there is no square circle.

She did this just to convey a message, even if Hong Qi's identity as a concubine could not be changed, she was not the kind of concubine who could be bullied and insulted by anyone.

Behind Red Seven, there are emperors and queens.

This can be regarded as compensation for this girl.

On that day, the emperor was really ashamed of the old lady for what he did, and he was very sorry in his heart. At that time, I felt that it was just a woman, and in the future, I would just point out a better one to Gu Fei.

However, later the old lady entered the palace drunk and told the emperor the truth of the matter. It turned out that Hongqi was not only the granddaughter-in-law of the Taishi's Mansion who wanted to pass through the door, but also the widow left by the little daughter of the old Taishi's long-lost daughter, and the granddaughter of the old Taishi's relatives. In this way, she is the daughter of the emperor's junior sister.

At the beginning, when the emperor learned martial arts with the old lady, he had an excellent relationship with this little junior sister, and it can be said that he regarded her as his own sister. And the little sister was sad to leave Beijing and ran away because the emperor killed their childhood playmates. Although he deserved it, it also made Gu Feiyan, who valued love and righteousness, extremely sad, and was no longer willing to stay in the capital. Who knows, after this departure, he never came back.

finally got the news of her, but it was forever separated.

Now, the only daughter she left behind has given herself as a concubine in a daze.

The emperor was so depressed that he drank a lot of wine for several days. After getting drunk, he found out the truth to the queen. At this point, it is impossible to take back the commandment. With the background of Hong Qi, it is impossible to become the wife of the prince of Zhenbei. can only use guò in this way to make her life better.

However, the appearance of Red Seven was a bit surprising to the queen.

was snubbed by everyone, especially those who are outstanding to the point of Red Seven. A woman who looks so good, even in the palace with many beauties, there is no one who can compare with her. She just sat there quietly, ignored by everyone, but the brilliance of her body still eclipsed all the women present.

Such a woman originally thought that she was extremely unwilling to be lonely.

But from beginning to end, Hong Qi has never done anything eye-catching, from beginning to end, she sat in a proper manner, no one talked to her, she didn't speak, and ate in a proper manner.

But it's such a simple demeanor, it's as beautiful as a painting,

is those ladies who were born in famous families and were strictly taught by their grandmothers since childhood, and they were compared with her.

The queen looked at it for so long, and from different angles and every part, she didn't find anything unbeautiful.

Which master taught her so well?

The queen doesn't believe it, some people are born like this.

And the red five who came out of the same family as Hongqi are much worse, although they are also very good, but they are only among those outstanding ladies in Beijing.

Unlike Red Seven, no one can compare with her at all.

Fortunately, the emperor is already old, and he is getting weaker and weaker about women, and for many years, he has not accepted new concubines, and there are some old people in the palace. If you change the early years, such a stunning color, I am afraid that even the emperor will not be able to help but enter the palace. That's the color of the six palaces, and the pink del has no color.

The queen was a little lucky.

However, Li Mo's future wife probably has a headache, and it will definitely not be easy to face such a woman. With such a look and such a heart, if she has a heart, in this world, which man can resist her charm?

Hong Qi didn't know the queen's thoughts.

She has long been accustomed to other people's gazes and will not take it seriously.

She only felt that this day's tossing was almost exhausted, and she was almost sleepy. It's just that on such an occasion, you can't be rude.

finally waited for the play to start for a while, and everyone's attention was on the stage. Hong Qi said something to the princess of Zhenbei, and quietly got up and left.

And after she was gone, a man left and followed quickly.

"Seventh sister." Red Five chased after her from behind, Red Seven turned around when she heard the sound, and Red Five came to her with apology in his eyes. "I'm sorry, just now, I ......"
