Chapter 18: The Queen Mother

The days passed quickly, and Murong Yining had been in the palace for almost two years in the blink of an eye. The events of the past two years are still vivid, but they seem to have been forgotten.

Bai Xiyu has been bed, and from the beauty to the noble, the emperor likes her to be well-behaved, so he gave the name "Ling", so he called the spirit nobleman.

Murong Yining had a fairly comfortable life during this time, and nothing major happened. Because of the presence of the Lexin County Lord Yu Concubine, everyone ignored the existence of Murong Yining.

However, Murong Yining is now very popular with the emperor, and there will be seven or eight days a month to summon her to sleep.

May 20, the Queen Mother's birthday. The Queen Mother is forty-five years old this year, and because she is a young year, Leng Yexuan decided to do it in a big way.

The palace began preparations more than a month ago. All the palace concubines want to take this opportunity to show their hands in front of the Queen Mother and win the love of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

And the whole palace was decorated with great festivity. Everywhere there are flowers, colored silk. Although the Queen Mother has always disliked luxury, because of the emperor's filial piety, she no longer said anything.

Murong Yining has had a deep estrangement from the Queen Mother since that incident. Except for the daily morning and dusk meditation, resolutely do not appear in front of it. But now, to congratulate her on her birthday, Murong Yining felt that she had a headache.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Luo Wuhan walked in and asked when he saw Murong Yining, who had a sluggish face. Although they have already [a] [read] the novel ybdu know the truth of the matter, in front of everyone, they are still called mothers and slaves.

"Wuhan, I don't know what to send to the Queen Mother." Murong Yining wrinkled a small face. She can't wait to eat her, how can she be in the mood to give her a gift?

"Stand down, all of you." Seeing this, Luo Wuhan waved his hand and drove out all the palace ladies in the hall, leaving only Murong Yining, Zhiqin and himself in the house.

"Ning'er, no matter how much you hate her, this gift must be given, and she must like it." Luo Wuhan said solemnly.

"Why?" Murong Yining jumped up: "Doesn't my sister hate?" ”

"Hate." Luo Wuhan said, "But I had to do it. Lemon, now is the time for you to be favored. The Queen Mother would not allow an ordinary woman to rob her niece of her favor. So, you have to make her think that you are in her group. ”

"How is this possible?" Murong Yining thought it was incredible.

"How could it be?" Luo Wuhan chuckled, "As long as you are willing, it is possible." ”

"Okay." Murong Yining compromised and said, "Then what should I give?" ”

"Send." Luo Wuhan thought about it and whispered something in Murong Yining's ear.

"This. May I? Murong Yining pondered.

"Absolutely. As long as you make her think that you won't affect her, then she won't come to hurt you for a while. ”

"Okay, let's give it a try." Murong Yining nodded.

On May 20, Murong Yining arrived at the place where the palace banquet was held early

Today's palace banquet is located near the Mohan Pavilion in the northeast corner, where there are mountains and rivers, and flowers are planted all around.

Mohan Pavilion is a pavilion with a story.

The founding emperor of Yeyun Kingdom loved the queen in every way, and the two had a deep love for flounder. The founding emperor even deposed the concubines of the six palaces for the sake of the queen, canceled the draft, and swore that in this life and this life, as long as the queen alone is enough. But the queen has had heart disease since she was a child, and her health has been poor, because she gave birth to a prince, and died of dystocia. In order to commemorate her, the founding emperor named this pavilion after the empress's name "Mohan".

After Murong Yining heard this story at that time, he sighed for a while. I thought of Queen Mohan, and I also thought of myself.

Murong Yining wore a light pink gold silk silk tulle dress today, with a light cyan Yanluo white water skirt. The hair was combed into a common beauty bun in the palace, and there was a flat hairpin with hibiscus flowers to grasp, and a purple jade glazed hairpin was inserted obliquely on the sideburns.

Murong Yining found her place and sat down, she was neither early nor late. Concubine Lan, Hui Zhaoyi and the others had already arrived, and their tables were separated from Murong Yining's by some distance, so they didn't notice her.

After a while, the voice of the little eunuch was heard, and everyone tidied up their clothes and saluted.

"The emperor has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, the queen mother has arrived, and the concubine has arrived." When they heard the last name, they were stunned for a moment, and then they raised their heads and looked in the direction they had come.

I saw the queen mother and the emperor walking in front, the queen has been ** month, and her belly looks very round. Both of them are in homely casual clothes, but they look like ordinary couples.

Followed by Concubine Yu and the Queen Mother, Concubine Yu was on the right side of the Queen Mother, holding her tightly. The two of them were talking and laughing in the back, not noticing everyone's gaze at all.

Today's yoga concubine Su Qinhan can be described as a magnificent scenery, wearing a peach-colored wisp of gold cloud brocade and Tilian long gauze skirt, wearing a golden silk red coral butterfly hairpin, and a circle of pink silk flowers around the side of her hair, the whole person looks bright and refined, but rich and compelling.

"Han'er will sit next to the mourning family today." The Queen Mother's tone was faint, as if it didn't matter. It's just that Su Qinhan is a concubine, and he should have sat with Murong Yining, but now he sat at the top all of a sudden, which really made everyone jealous.

"Yes, Auntie." Su Qinhan smiled sweetly, his eyes swept over everyone, and his arrogant head seemed to say, you can't fight me.

After greeting each other, they sat down according to their position. After sitting down, it is time for the concubines to give gifts.

The palace concubines in accordance with their own order of position, once let their palace maids come forward to present gifts for the queen mother's birthday.

The queen gave a potted plant carved from white jade into a lotus flower, and each petal is like a real one, which is lovely. Lan Guifei gave a picture of Baishou made by herself, Hui Zhaoyi gave a bamboo carving of Fugui Furong, Su Qinhan sent an ornament of Rongsha Jin Fulu Shou Peach, and Murong Yining's was an embroidered screen.

"Whose is this?" The Queen Mother pointed to Murong Yining's embroidered screen and asked.

"Back to the Queen Mother, it's a concubine." Murong Yining got up and saluted above.

"Oh?" The Queen Mother glanced at her. Something incredulous, and then turned his head back to the embroidered screen.

It is a one-foot-wide, three-foot-long embroidered screen, the embroidery frame is made of pineapple wood, the base is carved with colorful glass, the embroidery screen is full of birds, it is no longer a hundred birds, as if there are thousands of kinds, all kinds of birds are flying towards the same place.

"What does that mean?" The Queen Mother looked at it puzzled, generally a hundred birds and a phoenix, but here there are only birds, but there is no phoenix, what does this palace concubine want to do?

"Please wait a minute, Queen Mother." Murong Yining smiled lightly and motioned for Zhiqin to come forward.

Today, Murong Yining did not bring Luo Wuhan here, but let her stay in the palace, no matter what, she was not suitable to appear in front of the Queen Mother.

I saw Zhiqin wearing a bean-green palace dress, with a cup of tea in her hand, and slowly walked up, went to Murong Yining, and handed her the tea.

Murong Yining stretched out his hand and splashed it out, and the tea was just sprinkled on the top of the embroidery screen.

"What are you doing here?" There was a slight anger in the Queen Mother's voice, is this embarrassing herself?
