The palace feast invited the former officials and their family wives, naturally not men and women can sit at the same table, so this feast is divided into two sides, the court and the hundred officials are invited by the emperor to enjoy the feast in the main hall, and the clan wives are entertained by the queen and other high-ranking concubines.

Since the eldest prince Xiao Feng is twelve, and the second prince Xiao Jin is also ten years old, he was led by Emperor Qingping to meet with the hundred officials, after all, here, the boy should get married in the fourteenth and fifteenth years, and he should be called an adult when he is ten years old.

As soon as she entered the apse, the black women had already been passed on by the eunuchs, and when they saw the women in the palace coming in, they all stood up from their seats, half-bowed, and lowered their eyebrows to show respect.

After the queen and the others sat down, the wives knelt down and congratulated in unison, "Congratulations to the queen for a thousand years." ”

The neat voice, the respectful attitude, the hundred women kowtowed, the queen sat upright and nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at the concubine sitting below.

At this time, Xiao Ping didn't pay attention to the queen's majesty showing off, he was still staring at Concubine Su, Concubine Su was still blank on her face, but the clenched hand, the green tendons burst out, but it was hidden from others, and Xiao Ping, who was staring at her all the time, was at this moment, Xiao Ping suddenly realized why the forbearant Concubine Su would use such low-level means.

Concubine Su's goal is not herself, a little girl is not worth her shot, her goal is directly aimed at the queen, she is to destroy the queen's feast, with a small means, let the concubine come out, destroy this feast, maybe Concubine Su thought that the concubine would say the Buddha beads at the banquet, when the time comes, the queen will be disgraced, the prestige is no longer there, but I didn't expect that the concubine said it in the palace, and the emperor also understated, and did not achieve her goal at all, she was unwilling, and now she sees the queen as the mother of the country. Graceful and generous, she held her hands tightly and restrained her emotions.

What are the grievances between the queen and Concubine Su? So that Concubine Su was so thoughtful, Xiao Ping shook his head, those grievances were secrets in the palace, and he, the little prince, couldn't guess it.

"Today, everyone comes to celebrate the birthday of the palace, if the palace is not well entertained, ladies should not be disgusted." The queen, who was sitting on the top seat, spoke.

"The queen mother laughed, how dare the courtiers." The more than 50 women sitting on the left were the first to answer, and then there were responses one after another, probably some official words that were laughing, not disgusting, and not daring.

"Mother, speaking for your daughter like this is not to block people's disgusted mouths."

The queen looked at the woman on the left, covered her lips and said jokingly, but the spring breeze in her eyebrows and eyes could not be hidden.

The woman also smiled and didn't speak, and the women of each family began to joke, all of them were flattering, but Xiao Ping noticed that there was only one old lady behind him who was silent, looking at the seven or eight women sitting together, the old lady was still sitting in the first place on the right, Xiao Ping rolled his eyes, and guessed whose family they were, I am afraid that it was the concubine's mother's Murong family, the old lady is the concubine's own grandmother, the wife of the current Prime Minister Murong, no wonder she can be on an equal footing with the queen's mother-in-law and the emperor's mother-in-law.

After drinking a few more glasses of hot wine and gossiping for a while, the queen excused herself and let the women take care of herself, and she went back to Fengyi Palace by herself, of course, her mother must have followed her heels.

As soon as the queen left, the concubines also came off the stage one by one, wanting to go back to the palace with their respective families to talk secretly, but at this time, the voice of the eunuch that Xiao Ping was not used to hearing came again

。

The eunuch bowed in, stood up and read out Emperor Qingping's edict with great momentum, "Your Majesty has a decree, please invite the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince to go to the front hall." After reading, the eunuch groveled again, which is really a good acting.

As soon as the queen left, the concubine here was the largest, and she stepped forward and asked with great momentum: "Do you know what is the matter?"

"This minion doesn't know." The eunuch sneered.

The concubine just asked in vain, if she could ask, this eunuch would not have lived today, and when she couldn't ask anything, she turned her head and squatted down, straightened Xiao Ping's clothes, and advised: "Go to the front, be careful."

Xiao Ping nodded naturally, and the biological mothers of the other two princes also gave earnest advice, or how to behave, or how to say something about their own family, which can be more close, and so on.

In this way, Xiao Ping Xiaoshan Xiao Yan followed the eunuch to the front hall, and saw the hundred officials for the first time, and this time it was also the first time to show the demeanor of the princes to the hundred officials, and told the hundred officials that the princes of Emperor Qingping were all about to grow up and were about to enter the political arena one by one, of course, the three-year-old Xiao Ping was still very young.

After Xiao Ping and the others left, the banquet of the women in the apse was almost over, and the concubines took their families back to the dormitory, which left many people, and the rest also got together in twos and threes to gossip and talk about the marriage of their children.

"Mother, daughter-in-law is also going to talk to the concubine?" A handsome woman said to the old lady, and a charming woman beside her gave her a contemptuous look.

The old lady nodded, "Go, you are her mother, after telling her about that incident, persuade her that the Murong family cannot do without a prince with the blood of the Murong family." ”

The face of the woman who still had charm was even more contemptuous, and the generous woman didn't care, just bowed her head, and then hurriedly walked to the concubine, and said a few words to the concubine, the concubine looked back at the old lady, and saw the ridicule in the eyes of the woman who still had the charm, and immediately turned her head and returned to Zhaoyang Palace with the generous woman.

"The third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince have arrived."

With the sound of the eunuch's announcement, Xiao Ping and they walked into the main hall, which was extremely wide, with tables on both sides, full of ministers, and the three of them passed through the long hall, allowing the ministers to watch, and whispered a few words from time to time, even the forty-year-old Xiao Ping felt pressure, quite a little trembling, and couldn't stand the feeling of holding on.

When they arrived at the high platform of Emperor Qingping, which was five or six meters away, they bowed down and said, "Father."

"Well, now that my five princes are gathered here, let the officials be exquisite, you just ask, and they will answer casually, how are they, Aiqing has their own evaluation." Emperor Qingping smiled and spoke, he was showing off his son, and he was also choosing an heir, and all officials were like mirrors.

Of course, this is unfair to the three-year-old Xiao Ping, but Emperor Qingping has never regarded him as an heir, but he is just a target, today, he is going to really elect an heir, and Xiao Ping's target can also be removed, thinking of this, Xiao Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

Then hundreds of officials opened their mouths to ask questions, some asked about poetry and books, some asked about people's livelihood, and some asked about political strategy, but they all went to the eldest prince and the second prince, because the discerning people saw clearly that Emperor Qingping belonged to the two larger princes, and a few asked the third prince and the fourth prince, after all, they were not much different in age from the eldest prince and the second prince, and they could fight, and Xiao Ping was cool and staying, after all, first, he was too young and uncompetitive, and second, he could see clearly that as soon as his target was removed, he would fall out of favor. Even if he has the support of the Murong family behind him, he is not the grandson of the Murong family after all, besides, Emperor Qingping began to take action three years ago to eradicate the huge power of the Murong family, and now the Murong family is not as good as before.

"Fifth prince, the old man asked you how to manage your slaves? Let them be faithful to you? ”

Suddenly, the minister with a gray goatee suddenly spoke, and the hall was instantly quiet, and a pair of eyes were staring at Xiao Ping, and Emperor Qingping was no exception.

Xiao Ping looked at the old minister ignorantly, "Do you still have to take care of the minions?" Shouldn't all slaves be loyal to their masters? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled and said nothing, touched his beard, and did not speak, the hall was very quiet, and Xiao Ping pretended to be ignorant and looked at everyone curiously.

The old minister shook his head and didn't speak, but his eyes were more determined in his thoughts, the Murong family also wanted to send a woman into the palace and give birth to the bloodline of the Murong family, so after he sat down for a while, he got up again and said: "In the past three years, Your Majesty has nothing to do, and the bloodline is not abundant, the old minister will invite Your Majesty to have a spring draft next year."

The expressions of the hundred officials are different, but there are also many military generals or civil ministers who have the support of the position, after all, even if the power of the Murong family is greatly reduced, it is not to be underestimated.

And Xiao Ping in the palace sighed in his heart, is the Murong family going to give up the concubine and himself?

The dark tide of the previous dynasty is turbulent, and the harem is not stable.

Zhaoyang Palace

"What, my grandfather wants to invite His Majesty to the spring draft, and he wants the cousin of the third uncle's family to enter the palace?" The concubine exclaimed.

The Dunhou woman wiped her tears, and the concubine muttered, "Is this the Murong family going to give up on me?" ”
