The length of time is inversely proportional to the happiness index of people. Qijing only felt that it seemed that they had only moved to the garden yesterday, and today, it was the New Year. A few months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Dragon and Phoenix Palace was not built, so their year was still in the garden.

The royal New Year, naturally, has a palace banquet. The palace banquet, for the Han Dynasty, is a state banquet. But for many people, this is also the only opportunity for the queen of the Han Dynasty to appear in front of everyone every year.

That's right, the only one.

To say that today's Han Dynasty, the most legendary person, is not the powerful and wise emperor, nor the leader of the Longyi Battalion, nor the King of Qi who is the youngest and the most meritorious in military affairs. is not like a jade gentleman, with the title of jade-faced divine doctor King Yan, nor is it the king of Chu, the dean of the martial arts academy who has trained countless generals.

It's this, from the countryside, the daughter of a cousin, but she just grabbed the emperor's heart, monopolized the harem, and let the emperor swear to heaven and earth, she is the only queen mother in this life.

It is said that she is beautiful. What is the first beauty in martial arts, the first beauty in Jiangnan, and the first beauty in the world...... All kinds of beauties, in front of the queen mother, it is nothing at all. The queen mother, it was ice skin and jade bones, the moon was not as bright as her eyes, and the pearls were not as white as her teeth. Rouge is less moisturized than her lips, and Qingdai can't describe the delicacy of her eyebrows.

It is said that she is wiser than the prime minister, braver than the general, and more cider than the Buddha, and she is lucky. At the beginning of Xiliang City, it was because of her mediation that she bought grain and grass for Jinshang, so that she could feed those soldiers and let the emperor win battles again and again. It is she who runs the industry for the emperor, feeds the people, and makes the emperor have no worries. And because of her, the sky is auspicious. When the Han Dynasty entered the capital, the divine dragon came for her.

Reputedly......

And such a great queen mother, she never takes people lightly. Very few people know what she really looks like. Especially the new women, who have never seen the queen.

She is different from ordinary nobles, she does not like to be lively. Except for some necessary palace banquets, she never attended any banquets. There are many deeds about her outside, but there are very few. It is impossible to explore her joys, sorrows, and sorrows...... Mystery, adding another layer of color to her legend.

Therefore, many people are waiting, waiting for this annual palace banquet. Not for anything else, just to meet the legendary queen mother.

As for what people outside think of her, Qijing himself doesn't know anything about it.

She was just a little depressed, "How can there be more people attending the palace banquet every year?" ”

Lechen knew that he had never wanted to tell her this: "This is an opportunity, for each of them." Naturally, they all sharpened their heads and thought about it. Later, he still smiled: "For so many years, it has been according to the standards you set before." In the past, there were few standards, but now there are more and more of them. ”

Qijing still didn't pay much attention to the palace banquet. Otherwise, the standard will not remain unchanged for a few years, these are all the people below, according to her past standards. She just glanced at them and let them post it.

"It's still warm enough." Although she set the standard, she did not require these people to come. However, she also knew that she was arguing with strong words. The post made by the dignified queen's mother, who dares not to give face?

"It's freezing on this day, and there are still children a few years old."

"Those people who came from Xiliang City have just started a family all these years, aren't the children just young?"

Qijing shook his head, no longer paying attention to these.

"Hey, the fifth brother and sister are here." Qijing raised his eyebrows, "What about the fifth brother?" "When I turned my head, I just saw Legu. I just came in through the door, and my face stinks.

Loctite followed him with a sneer, and walked in.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know whose young lady seems to have taken a fancy to the fifth brother, and as a result, she made a faint move and wanted to entangle her. The fifth brother was annoyed by being entangled, and his face became ugly. Loctite laughed as he leaned against the railing on the side of the building. Just looking at the gate of the garden. Naturally, he also saw the carriage of the Chu Palace, "Fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law is here." ”

Le Gu sat down beside Le Chen angrily, picked up the teacup on the table, and poured a cup of tea into his mouth: "Fourth sister-in-law, you have to pick and choose the people who participate in the palace banquet when you go back, and it's really annoying that anyone comes." ”

"Next time." Qijing doesn't want to bother, and to be honest, there are many people and there are many benefits. Especially before this palace feast, let these people play in the garden. It's just a variety of life, like a dream, like a play, lively and tight.

Legu was speechless, but he couldn't say anything more.

The carriage of the Chu Palace's palace stopped, and the princess of Chu got out of the carriage, and someone greeted her and led her to the palace to prepare for the banquet.

Qijing glanced at the three men and was speechless for a moment, "Where should you go, I'll have someone bring the fifth brother and sister over when I go back." There are only two people in the concubine, and they are also close to each other. ”

Lechen was a little dissatisfied, but when he thought of Loctite and Legu here, he couldn't do anything. He simply got up: "It's cold outside, don't go out." When the feast is about to begin, I'll pick you up again. ”

"Okay."

The three big men left, and the maid came in. After a while, Princess Xu Qingya of Chu was ushered in. The two sides met the gifts, and re-presented tea and snacks, and the two chatted without a word.

Xu Qingya was always nervous in the face of Qijing. Not to mention the identity of Qijing, let's just say that Qijing's own momentum, ordinary people can't be relaxed in front of her.

Fortunately, Xu Qingya intended to flatter, and the two were not too cold.

After a while, Mrs. Bongsung also came. With Ji here, it's much easier. Ji and Xu Qingya also chatted more warmly......

More and more people came, and some people began to ask to see the queen. Xu Qingya took Ji Shi and went to the banquet hall first.

Qijing has a choice to meet, and she doesn't have much affection for these people. Lechen didn't need her to do anything for him, these people came, one was to ask for peace, and the other was to ask for something.

For example, I want to seek a good marriage for my children.

In the end, Qijing pondered and found that there were quite a lot of people seeking marriage. After thinking about it, I realized that just like the old lady of the Su family who asked the concubine to be a matchmaker, this is also a kind of excuse.

Interestingly, the mother of the prime minister of the Great Han. This mother, who is a noble lady, said proudly: "My little daughter has been pampered since she was a child, talented, and beautiful. It's just that the spirit is higher, and most people don't look down on it...... But a few days ago, she was fortunate to see King Yan, which moved the idea of not marrying a non-king...... Therefore, the old body is cheeky, and the queen asks the queen to take care of the two. ”

Seven Scenes: Before this, there were seven or eight similar requests. But this is the first one, naming names, and saying that you will not marry.

She went through the prime minister's information. The prime minister seems to have come from a landlord family, a farmer and a businessman, and the second in the agricultural ranks, and no one dares to say that there is a problem with this background. However, this is the one who is extremely popular, and this family has been in this place for generations.

Other...... They were all cut in the ground.

So before this old lady, she was probably about the same as Mrs. Su. It's just that when Qijing saw Mrs. Su, she had been an old lady for more than ten years. And this, the Han Dynasty has only been established for a few years. Seven Scenes is the first time to see this old lady.

"The old lady's little daughter is here today?"

"Little Girl Future." The old lady's face changed slightly: "My son said that before my family Ying'er learns the rules, don't go out......"

Qijing roughly understood after thinking about it: "I wrote down what the old lady said." It's just that you should also know that King Yan is the prince, and the candidate for Princess Yan has to be nodded by King Yan himself. Although the palace is the queen, she can't mess with the mandarin duck score. ”

"However, it doesn't mean that the queen and the emperor are the biggest officials. As long as you give an order, then King Yan must obey the order? ”

The old lady spoke straight, and Qijing went straight back. "Old lady, King Yan is the emperor's younger brother. But your little daughter is only the sister of a courtier...... The palace and the emperor have to stand on their younger brother's side. So, whether this thing can be done or not is not up to your daughter, but King Yan has the final say. ”

Although the old lady didn't understand this, she understood what she said. Moreover, before entering the palace, her son repeatedly told her what the queen and the emperor were like. That's an official who is a hundred times older than the county magistrate, and her son's official can be wiped off with a word.

Therefore, she dared to say anything, but people refused, but she didn't dare to mess around anymore. Not to mention the side, Qijing sat here, and when she raised her eyes, she didn't dare to have any thoughts. Otherwise, it would not be possible to speak so bluntly. She doesn't understand it anymore, and she knows that talking to nobles is not like this.

Si Qin saw the opportunity and invited the old lady out.

As soon as the person left, Qijing leaned back on the chair. took a long breath, turned his head, and saw Xu Qingya taking the Ji family in the main hall, talking and laughing with those noble ladies.

I haven't seen her for a while, and my mother has also adapted to the current one. Now she looks just like Mrs. Su when she first saw her. Noble and elegant, smiling shallowly, only smiling until the mouth does not reach the eyes......

"What's wrong?" Le Chen came in, saw her in a trance, and looked at the banquet hall in a daze, so he came over. Hold the person in your arms and rest your chin on her shoulder.

"Just now, someone came to propose to Atay." Qijing didn't hide it from him either.

Le Chen was stunned for a moment, "Who?" ”

"Right to the mother, for her little daughter." After a pause, he said regretfully: "It's a pity that the little daughter didn't come today, I heard that the right minister didn't let her come." Well, it is said that the little daughter has seen Atai once, and she is ready to marry you. ”

Le Chen thought for a while, and made sure that he had no impression of this so-called little daughter at all: "Go back and ask Atai." ”

"How's the right phase?"

"Good job." Lechen said it very pertinently. For today's Manchu civil and military affairs, their official positions are actually not as sacred as those of the previous dynasty. The prime minister is under one person? No, the prime minister only said that the work you have to do is very difficult, complicated, and burdensome...... The higher the official position, the more hard work and resentment it proves.

"One qiē is based on Atai's wishes." Lechen said.
