"Does the Queen Mother really want to do this?" Mama Li is helping the Queen Mother make up. Several phoenix hairpins were good-looking, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they gestured to the bronze mirror.

"The mourning family has already thought it through, the one called Xia Ruqian, the mourning family really doesn't like it. It's bad luck to look at it, can you still expect her to give birth to a grandson for the mourning family?! The Queen Mother took a picture of the bronze mirror, stretched out her finger and nodded: "Use the second hairpin!" ”

"Yes." Mama Li put on the phoenix hairpin and said: "Queen Mother, Xia Ruqian's marriage was approved by the emperor, will the Queen Mother break the emperor's face if she does this?" ”

"Well," the Queen Mother nodded and thought for a while: "That's true, so let's send someone to deliver a message to the emperor." ”

"Yes." Mama Li said something to the palace maid next to her, and the palace maid Fufu retreated.

"The Queen Mother really doesn't plan to tell the prince?" Mama Li considered her mouth.

"Hmph, the mourning family doesn't know him yet, if you tell him, according to his stubborn temper, he will definitely not follow. Besides, the mourning family is not harming him, not all men have three wives and four concubines, let alone a dignified and glorious prince! ”

"However, what if the prince is unhappy?"

"How can you be unhappy?! What a good boy Ning Qing! The mourning family likes it when they look at it, and Ze'er will definitely like it too. Mama Li frowned and stopped talking.

Weiyang Palace.

"What? This Queen Mother is really whimsical. Does the emperor know? The queen was very surprised when she heard the news, and immediately asked the palace maid Yue'er beside her.

"If you go back to the queen, you already know." Yue'er replied.

"What did the emperor say?"

"The emperor was very surprised when he heard this, and he was going to Kunyi Palace!"

"Then does the prince know?"

"The prince doesn't seem to know yet, the queen mother deliberately hid it from the prince, and thought that there would be a surprise attack when the time came."

"Hmm." The queen frowned and spun back and forth a few times.

"Does the queen want to go to Kunyi Palace too?" Yue'er asked.

"No need, if the emperor can convince the queen mother, it is good, if he is not convinced, it will be in vain if the palace goes. Yue'er, come here. ”

"Yes." Yue'er listened to the past.

"You go and leak this news to the prince." The queen whispered.

"Yes." Yue'er nodded and stepped back.

Harem Plum Garden.

The red plums in the garden are dotted with stars, and they are blooming. The snow was thick on the ground, and some of them were covered with red plums. A large area of red plums, set off by the snow, is even more graceful and red.

Xia Ruqian walked in along the flow of people. Feet on the snow and babbling. Su Yu patted her shoulder and winked at her.

It's a great view, and it's really happy.

The bluestone pavement of the garden has long been cleared. There is also a red carpet on it, which is very soft. Tables and chairs were staggered, and some people were already seated. Sing poems to the red plums in the garden.

The Queen Mother's Red Plum Banquet is not like the emperor's banquet formal and formal, but relaxed and chic.

Xia Ruqian watched many ladies and ladies also gather together in groups of three or five, and sighed a little.

Will Mother come too?

Xia Ruqian thought of the woman who gave her family affection and care, and immediately looked for it.

"Sister." Xia Ruqi rushed over from the side, saw Su Yu beside Xia Ruqian at a glance, and immediately took a deep breath to calm himself down: "Brother Su Yu, are you here too?" ”

"Well, the little girl has grown a lot taller, I haven't seen her for a few years, and she is much more beautiful!" Su Yu smiled slightly and nodded at Xia Ruqi.

"Hehe, thank you, Brother Su Yu. I haven't seen him for three years, and Ruqi misses Brother Su Yu very much! ”

"I miss you too." Su Yu looked down at Xia Ruqian and gently rubbed Xia Ruqian's hair.

"Oops, you're going to mess it up for me!" Xia Ru pursed her lips and glanced at Su Yu.

"Huh." Su Yu opened his mouth and smiled.

Xia Ruqi bit her lip and clenched her hands.

"By the way, didn't my mother come?"

"My mother occasionally had a cold a few days ago, and she was sick in bed and couldn't come."

"What's the big deal?"

"I've already asked for a doctor, and the doctor said it's no big deal, and my sister doesn't have to worry. It's just that the father was afraid that his mother would go out and aggravate his condition, so he didn't let his mother go out. ”

"Oh, that's good." Xia Ruqian breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you're worried, go back to your house." Su Yu said.

"yes, okay." Xia Ruqian agreed, but muttered in her heart.

Back to the summer house?!

No, in extraordinary times, it is better to be careful.

was chatting, and suddenly Li An came in from outside the garden: "Princess, the prince has arrived." ”

Xia Ruqian looked at Li An's eyes and saw that the prince was sitting under a red plum tree drinking.

"Lord Wang." Xia Ruqian walked over and sat next to the ninth prince, and saw that the prince's wine glass was empty, so he poured another glass of wine for him: "Drink with Mei, the prince is really interested." ”

"Xia Ruqian, you heard clearly, no matter what happens, you have to hold up this king."

"What" Xia Ruqian heard that the Nine Princes were so serious, and immediately became nervous: "What happened?" ”

"This king will protect you, so..."

"The Queen Mother has arrived! The emperor has arrived! The queen has arrived! ”

The Nine Princes didn't finish their sentences, and immediately sounded the voice of the eunuch's announcement. Then came the sound of all the people kneeling down and saying goodbye.

"The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an, long live the emperor, and the queen is a thousand years old."

"Get up!"

Xia Ruqian felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she was still thinking about the words of the Nine Princes in her heart.

What did he just say?

Said it would protect me?

Why protect me?

What does it mean to hold me through?

Xia Ruqian raised her head and glanced at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was full of smiles and looked kind and charitable.

"Let's all sit down, it's not a formal banquet, there's no need to be formal, it's just that the mourning family looks at the red plum blossoms in the garden and asks everyone to come and watch."

Sit down.

The Queen Mother said again: "It's been almost half a year since Ze'er got married, right?" The side concubine is still empty, and the mourning family is uneasy, thinking that it is time to make up for it. ”

Xia Ruqian chuckled in her heart.

That's what it meant.

What Red Plum Banquet?! Hongmen feast!

"What does the princess think?"

Xia Ruqian glanced at the Nine Princes and stood up cautiously.

"I think ...

Xia Ruqian glanced at the queen as if asking for help.

Didn't you say that if you need anything, you should find the queen?!

Suddenly broke into a side concubine, how can she act by herself?! Standing in the emperor's position, it should also be opposed, right?!

But the queen didn't seem to see herself, and she smiled at the others with a motherly posture.

"The princess has an opinion?"

Xia Ruqian bit her lip and let it go!

"I think ...

"The queen mother, the sons disagree."

Hearing the voice of the Nine Princes, Xia Ru breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head to look at the Nine Princes.

"Erchen and Qianqian have only been married for three months, and Erchen has already sworn an oath," the ninth prince took Xia Ruqian's hands and placed them on his chest: "If you have one heart, you will not be separated."
