When men and women entered the palace because of their different locations, they each asked the eunuch to take them away.

At the end of the day, the courtiers all went to the "Zichen Palace" to meet the emperor, and then went to the "Luming Pavilion" to eat.

The ladies went directly to the "Qiwu Palace" to accompany the queen for breakfast, and then went to the "Sanqing Palace" together to hold the "Shangqing Festival" tribute ceremony.

When Feng Roumin took Yu Wanli and Yu Qinli to the "Qiwu Palace", most of the people arrived.

Chu Qianqian saw Yu Qinli and smiled at her, while Yu Qinli winked at her, everything had been arranged.

Mu Qingxue had an elegant posture and a decent smile, but the moment she saw Yu Wanli, her face immediately became gloomy, and a pair of resentful eyes shot over.

After Yu Wanli knew Liu Changqing's ambition, he also glared at her angrily, and glared back not to be outdone

Yu Qinli bumped her lightly and whispered to her: "Eldest sister, image, the queen is here!"

Yu Wanli heard this, yes, yes, yes! She almost lost a big one, and she had a chance to deal with Mu Qingxue, but she didn't have many opportunities to see the queen, and her image was very important, especially when something like that happened in the hunting ground, the prince was grounded, and she was afraid that she left a bad impression in the queen's heart.

"What my sister said is that she almost fell for that slut!"

Yu Qinli sighed in her heart, it is really more difficult to make a person change than to ascend to the sky.

But she was not obvious on the surface, she was still calm and elegant, and saluted the queen and Mrs. Decree in the palace.

For some reason, as long as there is an occasion for Yu Qinli, everyone else will automatically become a supporting role and be reduced to the background.

Feng Roumin took the Yu family sisters forward to salute, and everyone's eyes naturally converged on Yu Qinli.

She is dressed in goose yellow and pear blossoms today, delicate and elegant, her appearance is pink and jade, graceful, casual step by step, but also step by step**.

It's hard to imagine that a few days ago, in front of the bonfire on Huaijun Mountain, she played the pipa and danced to incarnate Hai Dongqing, which made everyone amazed by her all night.

Many ladies looked at Concubine Yang De at this time, and they were envious in their hearts, such a daughter-in-law with both talent and courage was a gift from the sky!

Yu Qinli felt a burning gaze looking at her, she knew that it was Xuanyuan Yan's biological mother, Yang Defei, and she was naturally cautious, cautious and fearful.

But she knew that Concubine Yang Defei had no ill will towards herself, and even from her gaze, she could feel a kind of appreciation and expectation.

After the salute, Feng Roumin took the two of them to their seats.

After the queen ordered someone to pass the meal, she immediately asked Xiang Yu Qinli: "The second girl of the Yu family, she was frightened in the hunting ground, is she in better health?"

She got up and saluted: "Back to the queen's mother, Qin'er is fine, which makes the mother worried." ”

The queen nodded, looking at Yu Qinli's eyes, rubbing regret and appreciation, such a perfect woman, the prince is not blessed.

Seeing Yu Wanli beside her again, the queen's eyes froze, and her face sank.

Yu Wanli saw the queen's eyes drifting towards her, and thought that the queen would care for her next, and was about to get up to speak, when she saw the queen's face sank, turned her head, and ignored her completely.

"Why hasn't Hua'er arrived yet?"

Mama Zhou replied: "Hui Niangniang, the eldest princess is not feeling well, so she doesn't need to have breakfast, and she will come directly to participate in the "Shangqing Festival" tributary ceremony. ”

The queen nodded and looked at everyone: "Everyone eat more, and wait for an hour or two!"

"Thank you for your grace. ”

The queen's deliberate snub made Yu Wanli purse her lips tightly and bow her head in shame.

Mu Qingxue smiled contemptuously at Yu Wanli.

When she knew what happened in the hunting ground, she was so angry that she smashed all the items in the dormitory, so now that she saw Yu Wanli eating turtles, she finally felt three points more comfortable.

But as long as they thought that Yu Wanli had given marriage to Xuanyuan Qi, the two were still upside down in the tent.

Mu Qingxue's handkerchief was hanged to death again, and she wished that the handkerchief was Yu Wanli, so that she could be hanged beyond recognition.

Mrs. Mu was under the table at this time, gently pulled her sleeve and gave her a warning look.

Today she has a great responsibility, and it is clear that the object she wants to deal with today is not Yu Wanli, but Chu Qianqian, and the Chu family behind her.

Mu Qingxue saw her mother's warning gaze, immediately came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and quietly told her mother: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter is all ready, and no one suspects it." ”

Mrs. Mu nodded, in the past, their Mu family had no chance to sit here, but because of the support and reuse of His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as they successfully pulled down the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites today, not to mention that Mu Qingxue could successfully marry into the Prince's Mansion, their Mu family could still soar.

Mrs. Mu looked at Mrs. Chu and Chu Qianqian, who were sitting in front of her four positions, and a smug smile rose on the corner of her mouth.

I thought that next year's "Shangqing Festival", that position would be her and Mu Qingxue's!

Mrs. Mu and Mu Qingxue's expressions were fleeting, but they did not escape Yu Qinli's eyes.

Yu Qinli whispered to Yu Wanli beside her: "Eldest sister, today my sister will help you let the Mu family fall off the horse, are you willing?"

Yu Wanli was originally depressed, but when she heard her words, she was immediately shocked: "Is this true?"

Feng Qingyun, who was sitting on the other side of her, frowned, turned around, and looked at Yu Wanli: "Wanli, don't fall for this woman."

Feng Qingyun hated her even more because her brother Feng Yu was injured for Yu Qinli.

Yu Wanli completely ignored Feng Qingyun: "Sister, tell me what to do?"

She knew very well that her primary enemy now was Mu Qingxue, not Yu Qinli.

"The crown prince is grounded, the queen doesn't want to see you, you must have a good performance to redeem the queen's impression of you, and at the same time let the prince know that you can help him, so that the chances of the eldest sister becoming the crown princess next year will be greatly increased. ”

Yu Wanli nodded, her eyes shining with excitement.

Yu Qinli whispered: "Mu Zhiqiu is greedy for merit, he has always coveted the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and wants to compete for favor in front of the prince. Chu Qianqian's father is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and she herself was also ordered to paint the "Lingbao Tianzun Statue", which is the actual operator of this "Shangqing Festival" ceremony, and if anything goes wrong, she will be beheaded, and her sister thinks that there must be a conspiracy in the Mu family and others. ”

Yu Wanli frowned: "The Chu family can't fall, what does it have to do with me?

Yu Qinli patiently explained: "It has nothing to do with you whether the Chu family falls or not, but once the Mu family takes the throne, it will increase Mu Qingxue's capital to earn the crown princess." ”

Do you have to make me think you're stupid?

Yu Wanli's face turned red, and she was not completely stupid: "If what the Mu family is doing is to help the prince, and I come forward to destroy it, isn't it a good thing to ruin the prince?"

"The Mu family is not the opponent of the Chu family, and what you do is to make the Mu family's mistakes not involve the prince at the right time, and let the prince and the queen be grateful, do you understand?"

Yu Wanli's eyes lit up, sure enough, she had trusted the wrong people before, so she had taken so many unjust roads!

"Okay, the eldest sister listens to the younger sister. ”

Yu Qinli nodded, while Feng Qingyun straightened her eyebrows.

She knew that Yu Qinli was not so kind, but what she said was really helping Yu Wanli, what was going on?

"Why are you helping Wanli?" Feng Qingyun Road.

"Helping the eldest sister is by the way, and I am helping Qianqian. ”

Yu Wanli glared at Feng Qingyun, afraid that she would make Yu Qinli unhappy, and it would be bad if she didn't help herself!

Breakfast was quickly exhausted, the queen took all the ladies to the "Sanqing Palace", and the emperor also took the civil and military officials and the Harchi delegation to the "Sanqing Palace" to the high platform of the dojo on the square, and the altar had been erected.

The prayers, talismans, ritual vessels, incense tables, and wine on the altar were all prepared, and the court officials, representatives sent from various places to participate in the ceremony, and the Harchi delegation led by Prince Munda began to gather around them, and they were successively put in place.

Although the scene was black, but the audience was silent, everyone silently looked at the fragrant fragrance, listened to hundreds of Taoist priests reciting scriptures, in the light and shadow of the "magic lamp" that shook on all sides, the audience was filled with a solemn ** and reverence atmosphere.

Before the ceremony began, the emperor and empress, the three princes, the Xiangguo, the generals, and the representatives of the six departments of the Ministry of Household Rites and Criminal Workers had to enter the "Sanqing Palace" to participate in the consecration ceremony of the portrait of "Lingbao Tianzun".

After everyone in the hall was positioned, the queen said: "Where is the Chu family's dry gold?"

Chu Qianqian glanced at Yu Qinli from a distance, and when she saw that the other party nodded and cheered her up, she took a deep breath, for the sake of her family, she must be brave.

She got up and went out: "The courtiers are here." ”

The queen said: "Where is the portrait of Lingbao Tianzun now?"

"Queen Qiyu, after the portrait of Lingbao Tianzun was brought into the palace, it was handed over by Mama Zhou to a special person for safekeeping. ”

Mama Zhou immediately responded: "Yes, because this painting is very important, as soon as Miss Chu entered the palace, she handed it over to the slave maid and gave it to a special person to see." ”

The empress nodded, and she looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, the time has come, let's start the consecration ceremony of the painting!"

The emperor nodded: "Greetings to the Wuji Dao Chief, presenting the painting of Lingbao Tianzun." ”

The father-in-law pulled his throat and sang: "Welcome to the Wuji Dao Chief, presenting the painting of "Lingbao Tianzun". ”

Soon, the head of Wuji Dao was dressed in a fairy wind and bones, and came with a whisk, preparing to greet the portrait in front of the incense case.

A palace maid next to the queen raised her hands above the top and quickly sent the portrait of "Lingbao Tianzun" up.

Wuji Dao Chang washed his hands and burned incense before reaching out to take the painting, when he opened the scroll and revealed the portrait, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose faintly, Chu Qianqian's painting skills were speechless, and they were lifelike.

However, when the scroll was fully opened, he saw Wuji Dao stumbling two steps, his expression was shocked, his eyes were extremely wide, and he looked at Chu Qianqian angrily.

"Dare to insult Tianzun, how can such a painting be used to open the light!"

Chu Qianqian was drunk by this, and stood still after taking two steps back, her face was pale and she bit her lower lip.

The angry rebuke of the Wuji Daoist caused a commotion among the people, and the emperor and the empress looked at each other, wondering what was going on?

The emperor asked his father-in-law to pick up the painting and present it, and he was furious when he saw it!

"Bold! " The emperor looked at Chu Jiang and threw the painting in front of him: "Chu Jiang, you gave birth to a good daughter! ”

Chu Jiang nervously stepped forward to pick up the painting that was thrown on the ground by the emperor, and was shocked when he saw it: "This... What's going on?"

He suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Qianqian: "Qianqian?"
