The north wind blows mercilessly, and the heavy snow stops, which also signals the quiet arrival of the new year.

In the depths of the harem of the imperial palace, the gate of Huaqing Palace is closed. The dead wood branches and leaves in the front yard are mixed with snow water, so it is not dirty and uncared for. was specially grounded for half a year by the emperor's decree, indicating that Yi Jieyu had fallen out of favor!

This is the potential rule in the palace, and the power of the slave sees the high and the low. Even if Yi Jieyu is in a high position, she can't deter coercion.

'Knock knock knock ......'

The door slowly opened, and the maid of the palace cautiously poked her head out to look around.

"Bold! Don't let Yi Jieyu come out to receive the order. ”

The noble father-in-law's shrill tone remembered, and the frightened palace maid trembled again and again.

"Slave, slave and maid, go now."

The palace maid ran all the way back and hurriedly entered the place where Yi Jieyu lived, and reported your father-in-law's intention.

"Got it, let's go down."

Yi Jieyu held the pen in her right hand, and after copying the calligraphy slowly, she ordered the newly appointed palace maid to tidy up her clothes.

"How can such an eyeless palace maid be recruited."

"It's a dereliction of duty on the part of the slave. The slave maid saw that the palace maid was innocent, and there was just a shortage of miscellaneous people, so she let her enter the Huaqing Palace. ”

"This master doesn't need useless waste, and he doesn't need disobedient minions. Go back to Haosheng and teach her, if there is a next time, send the Huanyi Bureau directly. ”

"Yes, master."

On the other side, your father-in-law was received by the palace maid and waited for tea in the palace. Mo Yo waited for a stick of incense before he saw Yi Jieyu.

Your father-in-law hurriedly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, he knew that the master in front of him could not be offended, and he was destined to be a concubine in the future just by virtue of his family background.

"Yi Jieyu takes the order."

"The concubine is here."

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Yi Jieyu is virtuous and virtuous, and abides by her duties. Specially blessed with grace, allow the New Year to attend the dinner, admiration. ”

"Concubine thank the emperor, the emperor is blessed."

In a very regular process, your father-in-law handed over the holy decree to Yi Jieyu, greeted and congratulated a few words, and then Shi Shiran left.

Yi Jieyu was specially allowed to appear at the New Year dinner, and as soon as the news spread, the harem concubines were all embarrassed. Yi Jieyu was grounded by the emperor for just over a month, and she thought she had fallen out of favor, but she didn't expect to be able to attend the dinner on such an important day.

Even if there is a half-year ban in the future, it is enough to prove that the emperor has not forgotten Jì Yijieyu!

The Chinese New Year Gala Dinner is one of the most important dinners held in the year. The dinner was attended by people with heads and faces. Not only high-ranking officials and nobles, but also many princes and clansmen of the royal family.

Among the harem concubines, those who are qualified to attend will be those who are above the concubine position and nominated by the queen and the emperor.

At this time, in the Yangyue Hall of Zhaoyang Palace, Lu Yin was indignant about Yi Jieyu's attendance at the dinner.

"Master, I didn't expect this Yi Jieyu to be really ghostly. are grounded, and the emperor can still remember to attend the dinner. ”

Liu Ruyue shook her head amusedly. The Spring Festival dinner, she did not have the opportunity to see it in the first two years, and this time she was also pregnant and was fortunate to be nominated to attend.

"What's this, Yi Jieyu is in the third grade, and it's not strange to attend the dinner. Didn't she attend the dinner party in the first two years, why didn't she see you like this. ”

"Hmph, that's different, the slave hates it when she sees her. Otherwise, if you let the emperor withdraw his will, if Yi Jieyu fails to attend this dinner, then her status will be greatly hit. The slave is so smart! ”

“……”

"Master, don't stop talking, do you say it's okay?"

"I'm like this now, you have to be like a hen protecting a lamb when you go out for a walk in the yard, how can you go to see the emperor."

"Oh, what is a hen who protects lambs, Miss is so vulgar." Lu Yin stuck out his tongue lightly, and his little face puffed up: "Now that the emperor favors you so much, with a single order, you can have whatever you want, master." Yi Jieyu's matter is not yet hand-to-hand. ”

"The emperor has his own reasons for doing this, so don't be blind. Besides, Yi Jieyu was just lucky enough to attend the dinner, and the grounding order was still there. ”

"Well, the slave is just worried that she will take revenge on you. You are now the most dangerous and most protective period, and the doctor said that the labor is also in the past month or two. ”

"With the Queen Mother here, it shouldn't be a big deal. Instead, he told Liu's mother to prepare and secretly accept Wen Po into the palace. If these people in the palace are allowed to deliver babies, I will not feel at ease. ”

What Liu Ruyue is referring to is asking Liu's mother to find a stable woman with rich experience. When she was pregnant, she began to ask Liu's mother to look for it.

The condition must be that he has good character and experience, and it is best to let him receive the favor of Liu's mother, and the higher the favor Cheng dù, the better. Such people have a high initial favorability to use, and they are much more comfortable to use.

mentioned Wen Po, Lu Yin's face was happy, the master is about to give birth, can you not be happy.

"Hee-hee, the slave knows this. There are several ways out of the palace, and it is very safe, but I am afraid that this stable woman will not be able to support it. ”

……

The next day, it was the busiest day of the year in the deep palace. The palaces and courtyards are decorated with lights, red lanterns are hung high, and red tents are flying all over the head. As one of the most important celebration days, the festive outfits are even more than ever.

Approaching the evening, the cold north wind blew, and the half-red dragon and phoenix sedan chair was lifted out of the palaces and went to the Chengqian Palace.

"Get off the sedan chair."

"Taishi Mansion Jiang Taishi has arrived!"

"The four princes of Mu Wangfu have arrived!"

"Mr. Zheng of the Zhenguo Mansion has arrived!"

The major forces that were invited to the dinner party came to Chengqian Palace on time one by one. As for the emperor's concubines, they were only able to enter the table through the side door after the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen were seated, and the dinner officially began.

"Ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"The Qing's family is flat."

"Wait for the emperor to thank the emperor for his grace."

After meeting the emperor, everyone sat down silently and politely.

Your father-in-law is holding a whisk in his hand and wearing a delicate palace dress, showing the style of the chief duke. Under the emperor's instructions, he raised his head and chest, stepped forward arrogantly, waved his right hand in the dust, and shouted in a sharp voice.

"Concubine Xuan Shu is seated."

"Concubine Xuanyan is seated."

"Xuan Yi Jieyu, Liu Ronghua, and Lin Liangdi are seated."

Different from previous years, there were two more palace concubines at this dinner. One is Rong Hua and the other is Liang Di. Liu Ronghua is ranked in the fourth grade, and he has made meritorious contributions to the dragon heir in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as the implementation of this qualification. But Lin Liangdi is only a five-grade person, which is inevitably a little unproductive.

While everyone was secretly thinking, Liu Ruyue's appearance interrupted everyone's thoughts. Constantly no, today Liu Ruyue is wearing a palace costume and is supported by Lu Yin. The point is that the loose palace clothes can't hide the erect big belly, and the discerning person knows at a glance that this situation is close to giving birth. (To be continued.) )
