The Yuping Hall has already been filled with ladies and ladies, almost all of whom are relatives of dignitaries and nobles who have orders in their bodies, and there are many nobles in the palace to take care of them, and at this moment they are all elegant and whispered greetings, neither too restrained, nor too presumptuous.

On the high seat, the queen is in the middle, and the four concubines are smiling and sitting at the bottom in turn. At this moment, he also looked at the lady below with a smile, occasionally exchanged a few words, and looked very kind.

The little eunuch who was waiting for the herald sang loudly: "Mrs. Shangshufu has arrived-"

Everyone's eyes looked towards the door.

Jiang Quan, the secretary of the military department, has been in the limelight in Beijing recently, not because of anything else, but because the young master Jiang who returned to Beijing is the fastest promoted and youngest deputy general in the Dajin Dynasty today. Moreover, as soon as he returned to Beijing, he made many meritorious contributions, and I heard that he was quite favored by His Majesty, and he thought that in the future, he should be a dragon and phoenix among people with smooth official roads and a good future. As a lady, you will more or less listen to your master say a word or two on weekdays, and there are many young ladies present who have reached the age of marriage, and some of them want to climb a relationship with the Jiang family if they are thoughtful. Now that I heard that Jiang Shangshu's family had arrived, he naturally set his eyes on it.

Xia Yan and the others really thought that the ladies were looking at her, so they couldn't help but straighten their backs, the smiles on their faces were gentle and dignified, and they walked extremely steadily all the way.

Everyone watched silently, Xia Yan and Jiang Susu both looked gentle and beautiful, Jiang Li was radiant but slightly frivolous, Jiang Danjiao was cowardly and timid, but Jiang Ruan, who was walking behind Xia Yan, walked unhurriedly, with a smile on his lips, a bright and delicate smile, and his every move revealed a noble demeanor that only people in the palace have.

Looking at it this way, everyone thought about it again, Xia Yan is not Jiang Xinzhi's mother in the end, but Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi are real brothers and sisters, if Jiang Xinzhi is promoted and makes a fortune in the future, Jiang Ruan will also rise with the tide, and then look at Jiang Ruan's advance and retreat appropriately, even if there is no tension in the big scene of entering and leaving the palace banquet, where is it like a character raised in the mountains and villages. Some ladies also had other thoughts in their hearts, and they just wanted to decide whether to send the eldest lady of the Jiang family back to their homes early.

Xia Yan and a few people stepped forward to salute the queen's nobles, the queen is not confused when she is old, she does not look very old when she is properly maintained, she is in a high position all the year round but has no lofty atmosphere, Xu is not favored, only the emperor's respect and the prince's son, at a glance it looks no different from ordinary official women, she smiled and made Xia Yan and them get up, and her expression was very kind and kind.

Concubine Xian is a little younger, she looks delicate and lovely, and she has a kind of innocence that does not understand the world, no wonder she gave birth to a son with mediocre qualifications like the fourth prince Xuan Lang. Concubine De is older, sitting dignified and virtuous, worthy of a "virtue" word, the fifth prince Xuanhua's reputation in the court is also very stable, loyal, filial piety, brave and resolute, at least a virtuous person.

Concubine Shu was born beautiful and charming, if Chen Guifei is a misty rain in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, Concubine Shu is a bright color on the exotic grassland. She is also very willful and spicy, and the county lord of Heyi inherited her beauty and temperament, and she is also willful.

And sitting next to the queen looks the softest and most beautiful, but it is Chen Guifei. If the queen and the rest of the concubines have the demeanor of some nobles in the palace, this one is like an ordinary Jiangnan girl, without the slightest carving, sitting here is incompatible with the palace, as if this area is brought into the mist and rain of Jiangnan.

Jiang Ruan smiled and bowed down, but his heart seemed to be frozen at that moment. The people on this house are all old acquaintances from the previous life, but she is too humble to see these concubines often. However, Chen Guifei is an exception.

Not only did she not laugh at her and belittle her like other palace concubines, but often summoned her to the Simeng Hall to speak. Chen Guifei has a gentle temperament, and she is Xuanli's biological mother, in the last life, Jiang Ruan regarded her as a close friend and a sister in her heart. It is a trusted loved one in an icy palace.

However, what this Chen Guifei was doing behind her back made her feel like everything was a joke in the end. She is like a venomous beauty snake, with a deadly trap hidden in her gentleness. She and Xuanli are both a kind of person, completely cold, using them without reservation, and then abandoning and killing them.

Chen Guifei looked at Xia Yan and the others, and suddenly said, "You are Miss Jiang, come forward and let the palace take a look." ”

The queen was stunned and glanced at Jiang Ruan thoughtfully. Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Ruan unwillingly, her eyes could not hide her jealousy, Jiang Dan lowered her head and did not dare to raise her eyes. Jiang Susu's face froze, as if he was a little incredulous. Jiang Ruan slowly raised his head, and the moment he raised his head, he put away the smile on the corner of his lips, and as soon as he raised his head, he had a slightly cold face.

Chen Guifei looked at her carefully, didn't seem to see the unhappiness on her face, and smiled: "It's really a beautiful child." ”

When the ladies around saw this, they all began to whisper. Dong Ying'er, who was sitting on the side, was a little uneasy, remembering that her mother had said that Chen Guifei had the intention to choose a concubine for the Eighth Emperor, and couldn't help but sweat for Jiang Ruan.

Jiang Ruan said lightly: "Thank you Niangniang for your praise, Ruan Niang is ashamed." ”

There was no warmth in her words, not even basic deference, only a faint resistance. This gesture of resistance was heard in Chen Guifei's ears, and it was a light pause. After a moment, her smile became more and more cordial: "I don't know Mrs. Jiang, the eldest lady has a marriage match?" ”

Xia Yan's body stiffened, and a nameless fire suddenly appeared in his heart. Jiang Ruan, Jiang Ruan again! Who is this Chen Guifei, the most favored woman of the emperor in the palace, but the daughter of the Jiang family who wants to inquire about the first sentence is Jiang Ruan, not Jiang Susu. Could it be that these people are blind? Jiang Ruansheng's foxy face is not a master of Ansheng at first glance.

However, even though she thought about it in her heart, she didn't show it at all. still replied humbly: "Back to Niangniang's words, Ruan Niang is eleven this year, and she has never promised anyone." ”

"Ah, that's good." The smile on Chen Guifei's beautiful face was even more sincere, and her white and smooth face seemed to be covered with a faint layer of smoke, and her emotions were impossible to guess. She said amazingly: "Such a lovely child can't be married casually." Bengong looks very fond of Miss Jiang, and really wants to marry her personally. ”

This was too explicit, and the surrounding ladies couldn't help but show a complicated expression of surprise and understanding on their faces. Concubine Xian looked at Jiang Ruan with interest, Concubine De remained silent, the queen smiled and did not move, but Concubine Shu couldn't help but speak, and said: "Sister Chen, what are you talking about, this marriage match, in the end, it still depends on the young lady herself." Is it possible that Sister Chen is also old and loves to do these things that only ice people do? ”

Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen Guifei have never dealt with each other, Concubine Shu can't get used to seeing Chen Guifei looking low and being a little outside of the red dust, of course, more importantly, she is jealous that Chen Guifei has such a brilliant son as Xuanli. And what crawled out of her belly was a daughter, which means that no matter how favored she is, she will not have a son who is the prince. Although the five princes also have a high voice, Concubine De is not favored, and even very low-key, in comparison, the most hated thing by Concubine Shu is Chen Guifei. Whenever Chen Guifei said something, Concubine Shu would choke a few words.

Chen Guifei listened to Concubine Shu's words, but she was not angry, she just looked at Jiang Ruan and smiled without saying a word. Her already soft facial features, looking at a person with such a gentle smile, I don't know what to do, only if she really loves Jiang Ruan, she can't put it down.

Jiang Ruan's eyes were slightly lowered, and he did not look at Chen Guifei. Outsiders looked at her shyly, but no one knew that she was surging with hatred in her heart at the moment. In just a few quarters of an hour, as if a master had made a move, the ladies and ladies present couldn't see anything, only Jiang Ruan herself knew what she was thinking. Chen Guifei's gaze is gentle, and it is clear that she has taken a fancy to the poisonous snake of her prey.

Poisonous snakes, she has a way to deal with them.

Chen Guifei was so "loving" Jiang Ruan, Xia Yan was extremely depressed in his heart, and his next answer was a little perfunctory, but he still showed a little reluctance. If it was as usual, but when there was the matter of the Tiansha Lone Star that Master Huijue said before, everyone had doubts about her virtuous and generous pretend, and at this moment, her actions, everyone was even more sure that Mrs. Shangshu was actually a sweet-faced and bitter-hearted person, otherwise Chen Guifei specially inquired about Jiang Ruan, why did she not look very happy, and even a little unhappy.

Chen Guifei asked a few more words, and the queen beckoned Jiang Ruan to retreat. As soon as Jiang Ruan sat down in his seat with Xia Yan, Dong Ying'er got up and walked to Jiang Ruan's side and sat down, and whispered, "I was really worried about you just now, you are okay." After that, he admired a little and said: "Sister Ruan, you are so bold, I just saw you talking to the noble concubine Niangniang without a trace of nervousness, if it were me, I am afraid that I would have been so frightened that I couldn't speak." ”

Jiang Ruan smiled: "There's nothing to be afraid of, I didn't do anything, and I won't be punished." ”

Dong Ying'er hesitated a little and said, "But...... The concubine seems to like you very much, does she want to point you out to His Royal Highness. Realizing that these words were a bit overstepping, Dong Ying'er glanced at Jiang Ruan uneasily, and saw that Jiang Ruan's expression had not changed, so she relaxed a little, and said: "The noble concubine Niangniang rarely cares about people so much on weekdays, but today I just talked to you for a long time, Sister Ruan, don't blame me for being too careful, I'm afraid that all the ladies here here have the same thoughts in their hearts as me, if that's the case, what should you do?" ”

"Really?" Jiang Ruan asked rhetorically, "No." Her tone was not as gentle as usual, with a faint chill, Dong Ying'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard it. It was only when Jiang Ruan was angry and didn't want to marry the Eighth Prince that he said so, and said busily: "You don't have to worry too much, it's all my guess." Maybe the concubine just likes you, and you are still so young now, so you really don't need to hurry. ”

This comfort was too pale, and Dong Ying'er herself felt guilty. It's just that Jiang Ruan didn't show any special emotions from beginning to end, as if he was watching other people's affairs coldly.

After a while, seeing that the hour was almost up, the queen got up and asked all the ladies and ladies to go to the main hall to start the palace banquet.

In the main hall, the emperor and the male family members have been in place, because the flood has just passed, the treasury has become a little nervous because of the disaster relief, and the banquet is simple, not extravagant and wasteful, which is very different from the gorgeous pomp and circumstance in the past. Even the dishes and pastries at the banquet are very simple.

The ladies sat down on the women's table, the emperor and the empress sat on the high seats, and next to them sat the current queen mother, the empress dowager Yide.

Empress Dowager Yide is now in her sixtieth year, and her temples are already starry and white. Turquoise gold wire inlaid with jade auspicious moire buckle is luxurious and atmospheric. Even from the face of the Empress Dowager Yide, you can vaguely see the original style. At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Yide was known as the first beauty of the Dajin Dynasty. She has a slightly heroic facial features, when she was young, she had two sons and a daughter with the former emperor, and when the eight kings seized the throne, she rehabilitated the king of rebellion, and protected the emperor all the way to the throne, sacrificing her eldest son, and even let her daughter Princess Yuanrong and other countries, borrow troops and support the new emperor to ascend the throne. It can be said that without the Empress Dowager Yide, there would be no today's Dajin Dynasty, and there would be no emperor. Empress Dowager Yide is a resolute person, even a little ruthless.

She looked at the crowd below, the ruby armor on her fingers radiating a compelling luster. When she saw one of the women in the banquet, the Empress Dowager Yide was suddenly shocked, and she involuntarily sat up straight and looked at the person.

It was a young girl who was still immature, because she could not see her face clearly when she sat in the lower seat, and only the top of her black hair could be seen. He wears a simple single bun with a rose-colored step on it. A peach-pink dress is simple and warm, and it looks particularly fresh and pretty among the well-dressed ladies.

It was too far away, but the girl seemed to suddenly feel the gaze of the Empress Dowager Yide, and suddenly raised her head. When he saw the eyes of the Empress Dowager Yide, he didn't panic. After being slightly surprised, she returned a smile to the Empress Dowager Yide, the smile was clean and clear, and there was a calm and sensible that did not match her age.

It coincided with another person in the memory of the Empress Dowager Yide.

It was easy for her to resist the urge to go down and hold the girl, who laughed and talked to the young ladies around her, seemingly unaware of this. The Empress Dowager Yide sat straight on her seat and lost her mind slightly.

Jiang Ruan and Dong Ying'er were talking, but the corners of their lips involuntarily hooked slightly, and Yu Guang saw the Empress Dowager Yide sitting motionless in her seat, and she could feel that her eyes had been following her.

Jiang Ruan picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip, seeing that the original purpose had been achieved, you must know that Lu Dao was for this simple purpose, a simple action, and she also practiced in front of the mirror dozens of times overnight.

The men's family thought that they had already been rewarded, and seeing Jiang Xin's eyes smiling, it should be a very rich reward. Jiang Quan's face was not very good. The male and female dependents sat separately, Gu Yi had not seen Jiang Ruan for a long time since the last time, and at this moment, seeing Jiang Ruan sitting in the women's seat, the longer the days passed, the more moving she became, and the eyes looking at her were extremely warm.

Xuan Li had a gentle smile on his lips, as if it was no different from the past. However, his left hand unconsciously rubbed it, a movement he often did when he was upset. Obviously, the matter of the Prime Minister's Mansion is that he tries his best to appear light, but it is still difficult to hide the gloom in his heart.

Xiao Shao sat next to Guan Lianghan, today he was dressed in a black brocade coat with a golden unicorn embroidered on the neckline of his clothes, and his temperament became more and more cold, and his appearance was handsome.

Not long after, another beautiful girl came from outside the field, this girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a feather-blue brocade with a golden rooster heart collar placket and a straight-necked brocade coat, a silver-red dark pattern carved silk skirt that dragged the floor as expected, and ten kinds of brocade with colorful flowers and grass patterns. It's already a very gorgeous outfit, but this kind of outfit doesn't look mixed on her, but has a kind of gorgeous beauty. Her facial features were profound, with a kind of exotic style, and she stepped forward and smiled: "Father." ”

"Heyi, why are you here now?" The Emperor reproached, but his tone was very affectionate. The lord of Heyi won the emperor's favor.

"The sons and daughters are dazzled by their clothes, and they can't embarrass their father." Lord Heyi winked at the emperor. Emperor Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, her eyes swept in the male banquet, and when she saw Xiao Shao, her heart jumped, but the falling flowers were ruthless, Xiao Shao never looked at her, and a trace of loss flashed in the eyes of the lord of Heyi.

Dong Ying'er touched Jiang Ruan's arm: "Sister Ruan, you said that Lord Heyi likes Lord Xiao, is it true?" "Dong Ying'er has always loved to listen to these gossips. Now that there are ready-made materials, it is natural that they will not let go.

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, it was no secret that he was infatuated with Xiao Shao with Lord Yijun in his previous life, almost to the point that everyone in the Great Jin Dynasty knew about it. The county lord of Heyi also swore that he would not marry Xiao Shao for the rest of his life, and even wanted Concubine Shu to persuade the emperor to give marriage, but the emperor actually chose Xiao Shao among the county lord and Xiao Shao who he loved, and asked Xiao Shao what he meant first. Xiao Shao was cold and refused. After hearing the news of Xiao Shao's refusal, he and the county lord of Yi searched for death and life every day, and even went to the Jinying Palace's mansion to find an explanation, but the other party was stubborn and did not move. In the last life, after reaching the most ruthless, the county lord of Heyi never had any results with Xiao Shao.

Jiang Ruan's eyes were lowered, and the experience of Lord Heyi was embarrassing, but that did not include her. Just because Lord Heyi was in the palace in the last life, he didn't give her a stumbling block. The lord of Heyi County is narrow-minded and jealous. When Jiang Ruan entered the palace, she was the best looking among a group of show girls, she was born coquettish, but the lord of Yi was gorgeous, and she didn't want anyone to steal her limelight. She often finds people to trouble her. There was even a time when the maids in her courtyard were slandered for stealing things, and all the second-class palace maids in her courtyard were killed, and that scene had appeared countless times in Jiang Ruan's dreams, which always frightened her to the extreme.

None of the old friends in this palace are kind to others.

But at this time, the Queen Mother suddenly said lightly: "Vice General Jiang, you said today that tomorrow is your sister's birthday?" ”

The previous conversation with the male dependents, the Empress Dowager Yide did not shy away from it, she had a very good relationship with the emperor, and she didn't need to guard against anything, and it was put forward at this moment, which made people think deeply.

Jiang Ruan was slightly stunned, she forgot her birthday, after entering the palace in the previous life, except for Xuanli who would come to see her on her birthday, the rest of the people had no news. It's just that the warmth is also false. Now in another life, Jiang Xinzhi actually mentioned her birthday in front of the emperor, which made her feel in her heart.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, exactly." Jiang Xinzhi came out of the queue.

"Where is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family?" After all, the Empress Dowager Yide is a person who has gone through the battle of the Troubled King, and there is a faint majesty in her tone.

Jiang Ruan stood up and said softly: "The courtier Jiang Ruan knocked on the Queen Mother. "Say goodbye and go down.

Her actions are regular and humble, and even contain an inexplicable piety, and the etiquette is clearly the etiquette of ordinary courtiers and family members to meet the queen mother, but I don't know why there is an inexplicable emotion in it, solemn, and it is not like a meeting ceremony, but there is a taste of farewell.

Empress Dowager Yide looked at her quietly, watching the white neck lowered, the rose swaying, and the peach-colored clothes were gorgeous and lively. Such a delicate and touching girl has a calm aura all over her body. Much like that person.

Her eyes were in a trance.

The emperor saw that the Empress Dowager was distracted, and coughed lightly, and the Empress Dowager Yide seemed to come back to her senses. looked at Jiang Ruan and said, "Flatten." ”

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Jiang Ruan stood up. She tried her best to ignore the pressure from the emperor on the side, and only looked at the Empress Dowager Yide and smiled. She was born very well, and deliberately maintained a gentle smile on her lips, and she had the temperament of a princess even more than a princess.

The people around are all red-eyed, and the Empress Dowager Yide is iron-blooded, and she is not close to people on weekdays. Why Jiang Ruan got her blue eyes, everyone was puzzled. Jiang Xinzhi looked at Jiang Ruan quite nervously, although he mentioned Jiang Ruan, he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Yide would suddenly speak out. The thoughts of the Tian family are so easy to guess. I couldn't help but get nervous.

Jiang Susu and Xia Yan in the audience are a little unpleasant, today it is Chen Guifei first, and then Empress Dowager Yide, Jiang Ruan's limelight is really out. At the same time, they had a doubt in their hearts, forget about Concubine Chen, Empress Dowager Yide values Jiang Ruan so much, does she really fancy Jiang Ruan as the princess? Which prince is it, the eighth prince or the fifth prince? Or the Four Princes?

"The eldest daughter of the Jiang family, the mourning family promised Vice General Jiang to fulfill your wish for your birthday. If you have any wishes tomorrow, you can say it today, and the mourning family will satisfy you. Empress Dowager Yide said.

It was originally for the sake of his birthday wish, but he thought that Jiang Xinzhi had come to the emperor before, or he had exchanged his merits for Jiang Ruan's birthday wish, and what shelter Jiang Ruan wanted was now able to say it.

Xia Yan and Jiang Susu breathed a sigh of relief, it was not good that they liked her as the princess, Jiang Ruan really became the princess, and she would definitely not have a good face for the Jiang Mansion.

The smile on the corner of Chen Guifei's lips was a little wrong. If Jiang Ruan took the opportunity to propose which son he wanted to marry......

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly, and her tone was a little lonely: "The Queen Mother is gracious, Ruan Niang has nothing to ask for, she just wants to go to Ningshui Valley with her mother to see the newly bloomed peach blossoms." ”

"However, this wish is not possible." She smiled miserably. Empress Dowager Yide suddenly raised her head.
