Zang Jiao was apprehensive in her heart, and couldn't help but raise her eyes and quietly glanced at Fang Wanyi, but Fang Wanyi walked in straight with her head raised and her face straight up, and said goodbye to the second concubine of Xianshu perfunctorily.

Concubine Xian wore jade yarn silver and blue big sleeves and sat on the chair and ignored it, Concubine Shu held the eldest prince Changtai in her arms with one hand, and frowned and said: "Sister Fang's reunion in the palace has always been late and early. Could it be that Sister Fang's grade is higher than ours, where are the rules of this harem. ”

Fang Wanyi's voice was like an ancient well without waves, and the flat board responded: "The Queen Mother and the Holy Driver haven't arrived yet, why are you late to see me, it's just that Sister Shu came early." ”

"You!" Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, with anger on her face: "I was in charge of the rules and etiquette in the palace, but you were late for no reason, but you used strong words!" Okay, okay, I can't control you, what's the reason why the talented person behind you came so late! ”

Zangjiao's heart suddenly chilled, and she was busy kneeling down to ask for guilt. Fang Wanyi flicked her sleeves to stop: "The talent is living in my Zhiting Palace, so it is naturally under my control, do you want her to come to the banquet first over my main seat?"

Sister Shu is also a lot older, and she still has to be angry with a little talent. Hey? What are you still doing here, and you don't go back to your seat. ”

Zangjiao breathed a sigh of relief, bowed her head and stepped aside, Mo Lanyi and Mei Caiping, who were sitting in the back seat, quietly beckoned to her, Zang Jiao hurriedly lowered her head and hurriedly walked into the crowd and sat down in an empty seat next to Mo Lanyi.

The ladylike peach blossom face was blue and white, and her red lips were pursed and she stared at Fang Wanyi viciously. Fang Wanyi ignored her, raised her head and walked to her table and sat down, and took the tea on the table as if nothing happened.

Concubine Xian pulled Concubine Shu's sleeve and shook her head: "What are you doing with her, there is a queen mother, can you help her?" It's better to say a few words and breathe less. ”

"But the concubines are cheap, and the guinea dogs dare to bully others!" Concubine Shu's silver teeth clenched, and words burst out word by word from between her teeth, and impatiently pushed away Chang Tai, who was leaning in her arms and asking for fresh fruit sauce.

Zang Jiao sat behind the people and sat at the same table with Mo Lanyi and the others, and Mo Lanyi whispered to Zang Jiao's ear: "Although this Fang Wanyi has a rebellious temperament and boring words, it is good to treat her sister." If Song Zhaoyi ignores it, I will have to take this breath on my behalf. ”

Mei Caiping leaned over next to her and said: "What's good, it's not that she's late and tired." Zangjiao stuck out her tongue and smiled: "If you haven't been punished, thank God, why don't you see Yuzhen and them?" ”

Mo Lanyi raised her head and signaled: "Sister Lin and a few others are sitting opposite the back, ah, there are Yan Cairen and Gu Cairen, Duanmu Niangzi and others are seated, Su Cairen and Yuzhen are in the other seat, and Yuan Baolin and others are sitting behind." ”

Zang Jiaowang looked at the other side for a while, and when she turned around, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Cao Caidie and a few Baolins who had never been promoted to the seal sitting far behind with low eyebrows, and when she saw her turn around, she stretched her face and twisted to the side, pretending to talk to Jiang Qin and the others. Zangjiao didn't care, and sat up straight and talked to Mo Lanyi and Mei Caiping a few times.

Suddenly, I heard the silk and bamboo singing outside, and the music was melodious. The inner attendant said loudly: "The saint has arrived~ the queen mother and Emperor He'an have arrived in the ~~~~~~" The palace was suddenly boiling, and everyone stood up and waited for the royal car with a smile.

Zhao Jing wears a high crown on his head, and his face is like a crown of jade. Wearing a bright yellow embroidered five-clawed golden dragon group flower soft satin brocade robe, the left hand carrying a bright yellow nine phoenix robe, the queen with a crown of gold silk phoenix tail inlaid with jewels, and the right hand holding the ten-year-old He An Diji, the palace people behind them with a finch feather palm fan honor guard slowly entered.

The hall suddenly had a warbler sound, Yan Yushan called long live, Zhao Jing opened his long eyebrows, Longmu smiled and sat with the queen at the top, and the emperor snuggled up to the soft chair beside the queen.

Although He An Diji is still young, his eyebrows are very similar to the queen, and the eyebrows on his pink little face are beautiful and picturesque, only the tall and small nose is similar to Zhao Jing.

Eunuch Li Zhaosheng bowed to Zhao Jing and asked, Zhao Jing nodded, and with a shout of "open banquet", suddenly the orchestra rang out in unison, and the bells and drums sounded. A team of beauty dancers came to the hall to dance. The palace people served all kinds of delicacies on silver plates like water, and each cup was filled with all kinds of wine.

Zhao Jing raised his glass and smiled loudly at everyone: "Today's Duanyang Festival is a harem family banquet, so there is no need to be restrained. The eldest sister serves in the queen mother's palace, but I am afraid that it will take a while to come. If there is something in the second emperor's house, she will not come, so everyone can just sit down and eat and drink and joke at will.

All the women stood up together and said coquettishly: "The concubines thank the saint for their grace and joy, may the saint and the queen be blessed and safe, for thousands of years, may my Great Chu Dynasty foundation be evergreen for thousands of years, and the country will last." ”

After Zhao Jing and the queen drank the wine in the glass, the concubines sat down to eat and laugh. Zangjiao and others saw the true face of the queen for the first time, and when they sat behind the people and looked quietly, they saw that the queen's appearance was extremely beautiful, and her demeanor was dignified and dignified. It's just that his posture is weak, and although he has fat powder on his face, it is difficult to hide his haggard color.

Mo Lanyi pulled Zangjiao's sleeve and said softly: "Sister, I have heard for a long time that the queen is sick and rarely comes out to see people. Today, it seems that she is a rare beauty, especially those phoenix eyes are very similar to her sister. It's just that my sister's eyes are more moving than my mother's. ”

Zangjiao covered her mouth: "Quietly, there are many people here." It's disrespectful to be heard. The queen mother is noble and extraordinary, how can I compare. Mo Lanyi also knew that he had lost his mouth for a while, and kept his mouth shut and stopped talking.

After three rounds of drinking, Concubine Shu stood up on the seat and said delicately: "Today, the official family and the concubines are enjoying together, and I am tired of watching the singing and dancing in this palace." Since there are many talented and good-looking beauties in the palace, why not come out and appreciate it. ”

Song Zhaoyi also smiled and said: "Sister Concubine Shu is really an elegant person, the concubine has heard that Yan Cairen is the best at music and singing, and Gu Cairen is also a poet and painter. Let's take a look. ”

The queen sat on it and smiled at Zhao Jing and said: "What Concubine Shu and Song Zhaoyi said is also reasonable, originally Sister Shu's singing and dancing was excellent, but now that there is a Sheng'er official family, it must have been a long time since she saw her demeanor." Since Yan is talented and good at dancing, it is better to come out and dance once, and the concubines can see which is higher and which is lower. ”

Concubine Shu first thought that she was very proud, and when she heard the queen say that she was high and low with herself, she immediately raised her red lips and stopped talking. Zhao Jing didn't care, nodded and smiled: "In this case, Yan Cairen will offer a dance, Gu Cairen loves painting, so he will depict Yan Cairen's dance on the spot with a poem, and chat to help the fun." ”

Yan Qiaoyue, who was sitting behind and was worried about coming forward, heard the words, her eyes lit up, and she stood up and walked to the hall and smiled coquettishly: "Since she has been loved by the saint and the mother, the concubine will be clumsy." I also bothered my sister Gu to paint me more beautifully. Hee-hee. ”

Gu Hanyi only smiled faintly on his face, and slowly walked to the hall to salute Zhao Jing and the queen: "The concubine is just an occasional entertainment in her spare time. I hope that His Majesty and Niangniang Shu Concubine are not good at learning, so they have to sacrifice their ugliness and Sister Yan together to entertain the saint.

The palace people spread out the table on the side to set up pen and ink painting utensils, Yan Qiaoyue was already wearing light and moving, and ordered the musician to play the tune and dance on the red felt in the hall. Gu Hanyi looked up for a moment, then lowered his head and drew on the paper.

As soon as the song ended, Yan Qiaoyue sweated slightly, and the warbler panted and closed the dance steps and fell on the red felt, and Gu Hanyi's painting happened to be finished. Yan Qiaoyue's apricot eyes were affectionate, and she looked at Zhao Jing with a shy face.

Before Zhao Jing could speak, Zhao Hao, the prince in Concubine Shu's arms, shouted loudly: "It's not good-looking, it's not good-looking!" Father, son, want to watch puppet shows. ”
