The noble ladies who have a decree come to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, and they go through the motions, especially the queen mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who is still a queen mother with little power, even if the word "queen mother" occupies a strong innate advantage in many things, but on the other hand, the meager power has also become the queen mother's biggest weakness, so just like at this time, the queen mother wanted to deliberately leave a few people from the Pei family, but Lian's just signaled, saying that the concubine had sent someone to invite her, and the queen mother's eyes were condensed, but in the end she was released.

So in the end, Xu Yourong was still under the gritted teeth of Princess Deming, and Shi Shiran followed behind Pei's and left with Xu Youshan.

As soon as they got out of Wutai Palace, Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan asked the Pei family for instructions, saying that they wanted to wander around the garden casually, so they went to wait for Xu Mingxi, and they didn't want to go to the flower hall so early. Pei agreed, but after telling the two of them not to wander around and get lost, he went to the flower hall with the Lian family and a few people to the hospitality hall first, and let Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan wander in the garden not far from the Chunhui Palace.

And after sending off the Pei family and a few people to leave, Xu Youshan couldn't wait to pull Xu Yourong to flash behind a big banyan tree, she had already seen this good place, because there was a jade table made of a big banyan tree with its back here, and there were several jade chairs of the same texture scattered next to it, warm and exquisite, and the volume was not large, just enough to be blocked by the banyan tree, if it wasn't for the right angle, she wouldn't have found that there was a different world here.

Therefore, after Xu Youshan sent the Pei family and a few people away, she hurriedly pulled Xu Yourong here. Anyway, this is the only way to go to Chunhui Palace, they are not easy to be disturbed by others here, and they can rest while waiting for Xu Mingxi. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"Eldest sister, have you seen the eyes of the eldest princess when she stared at you just now, it was really scary." Xu Youshan smacked her tongue and asked Xu Yourong.

"See, how could I not see it, her eyes are eager to eat me." Xu Yourong smiled indifferently, took the feather fan handed by Wan'er, and fanned the wind faster by himself. I want to get rid of some of the heat, after all, the weather is so good today, so good that the sun is about to turn from a bright sun to a poisonous day.

"And you're still so calm?"

"What else to do? Anyway, Nie Liu, I will never give it to others. Xu Yourong said without hesitation, Xu Youshan thought about it, and this is also the reason, the enmity between her eldest sister and the eldest princess Deming. It was originally because of Nie Suhyun. If you want to resolve it, of course, only one party will take the initiative to give up Nie Suhyun's share, but the eldest princess Deming has not given up for so many years, Xu Youshan doesn't think that she will give up now when she sees that it is actually Xu Yourong and has Nie Suhyun.

So since the eldest princess of Deming can't give up, what about Xu Yourong, will Xu Yourong give up? Xu Youshan didn't have to think about it. immediately shook his head, so he felt that Xu Yourong's words were reasonable. Since this knot is already a dead knot, then why waste any more thought on it, it is better to simply not care about it.

"But it's strange to say, Deming is already eighteen years old, and the princesses behind her are already married, but she can still stay up and not choose a horse to get married, which is strange enough." Xu Yourong said suddenly.

"It's not strange, eldest sister, you don't know, the eldest princess has always been favored by the Queen Mother, and it is not strange that the Queen Mother spoils her like this, and she is not married yet." Xu Youshan didn't care, the Queen Mother favored the eldest princess Deming, which has never been a secret.

"Hmph, if the Queen Mother's words are useful, I estimate that even if Deming is not Nie Liu's wife, he should have made a marriage contract with Nie Liu, how can he still regard me as a thorn in the flesh like now?" As long as Xu Yourong thought of how the Empress Dowager would be the biological mother of Emperor Zhou Hui, how would the eldest princess Deming snatch Nie Suhyun by all means through the Empress Dowager, she didn't know how fortunate she was, the Empress Dowager was just a powerless Empress Dowager.

"Eldest sister, it seems very strange that you say this, even if the saint doesn't pay much attention to the eldest princess, but the eldest princess always occupies a 'long' word, if the other princesses' relatives are finalized before her, then no matter where it is, it doesn't seem to be so compliant." Speaking of this, Xu Youshan glanced at Xu Yourong intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, Xu Yourong also found out, but when she was about to clean up Xu Youshan, Xu Youshan hurriedly said: "I'm talking about the eldest princess of Deming, the eldest princess of Deming, this eldest princess has not chosen a horse like this, which is also hindering the royal face, the strange thing is that this time the saint actually ignored it, it is indeed something wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" As soon as Xu Youshan's words fell, another voice interjected, and the frightened Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan hurriedly turned their heads to look, and saw that the person Chu Dai led in was Xu Mingcheng, so they couldn't help but smile and get up to greet Xu Mingcheng.

"What were you talking about just now, I followed Chu Dai from afar and heard your voice." As soon as he sat down, Xu Mingcheng asked Xu Youshan and the others again.

"It's Deming's business." Xu Yourong didn't hide it, and told Xu Mingcheng what he had just said to Xu Youshan, picking out the key points, but after Xu Mingcheng heard this, he said speechlessly: "You two can't figure it out, there must be someone who spoke for Deming in front of the saint, and if this person can speak the saint, how many people do you say now, and who is most likely to speak for Deming?" ”

"Concubine Xian!" Without thinking about it, Xu Yourong blurted out and said it, and Xu Youshan on the side was still counting her hands, but Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng ignored her, and communicated directly, Xu Mingcheng nodded and said: "Yes, it's Concubine Xian, although I don't know what the reason for Concubine Xian is to do this, but it must have something to do with the Queen Mother, and I can't say that there has been a transaction between them for a long time." ”

The relationship between the Queen Mother and the Concubine Xian is a bit complicated, it stands to reason that the Queen Mother is the highest and most noble woman in the Great Zhou, but in the dynasty of Emperor Zhou Hui, this Queen Mother became an exception, because this Queen Mother is not only not Emperor Zhou Hui's biological mother. And her relationship with Emperor Zhou Hui is still very rusty, and there is no affection between relatives at all. Therefore, this should represent the most noble title, but now it is not as deterrent as the word "virtuous concubine".

So this also caused a gap between the Queen Mother and the Virtuous Concubine. Especially in the past few years, when Concubine De and Concubine Xian were fighting in these six palaces, they didn't pay attention to the Queen Mother at all, disrespecting and despising this kind of thing, although there was no on the surface, but secretly I don't know how many things, so it would be strange if the Queen Mother and the two concubines of virtue and virtue had no grudges.

But that's it. Everyone is a woman who survived in the most dangerous and treacherous inner chamber in the world of Miyagi, and everyone's mind is not low. Therefore, when they can be mutually beneficial, the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian can immediately abandon their own likes and dislikes, and only pay attention to pure interests, so although the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian are not pleasing to each other. But the deal between them. But I don't know how many cases there are.

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for Concubine Xian's pillow wind, how could Deming be so indulgent." Xu Yourong nodded in agreement, but Xu Youshan next to her frowned and thought: I don't know what the deal between the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian is, and it can make the two of them reach an alliance?

Xu Youshan and the three of them were discussing this sudden topic, but as time passed, there were gradually more people coming and going on the main road outside, reminding Xu Youshan and them. The time for the feast is near. So Xu Youshan and the three of them also got up under Wan'er's reminder. After tidying up their appearance, they also walked towards the Chunhui Hall together.

……

……

Chunhui Hall is a very gorgeous palace, and after it is specially arranged today, it is even more beautiful and luxurious. And it was also in a side hall of the Chunhui Palace, which was so beautiful at this time, that Concubine Xian was lying comfortably on a soft couch inlaid with jade butterfly wings, and a palace maid was pinching her legs. On the other side, there was a female official about thirty years old, who was reporting something to her.

"Mrs. Wen has just brought the three concubines of the Wen family into the palace, and now she is already in the flower hall, chatting with the wife of Scholar Li and the wife of Uncle Zhongshan."

Concubine Xian didn't raise her eyes and asked, "What about the three young ladies of the Wen family, where are they now?" What is the eldest girl of the Wen family doing at this time? ”

"In reply to your words, the three young ladies of the Wen family are all in the flower hall at this time, and they have followed Mrs. Wen without leaving a step. As for the eldest lady of the Wen family, she was the same, and she was sitting next to Mrs. Wen at this time. Concubine Xian's tone was soft, but the female official who was about thirty years old did not dare to be the slightest slack, and hurriedly relayed all the news that had just been reported to Concubine Xian word for word.

"Heh. It's all quiet, but that's good. Concubine Xian said with a faint smile, but the only two people in the room did not dare to answer, but they both bowed their heads again, showing their groveling as much as possible, so that the people on the couch would not take their eyes off them.

And the person on the couch, Concubine Xian, really did what they wanted, and didn't move their eyes to them, because it was not early at this time, and Concubine Xian, the operator, should also show up. So Concubine Xian elegantly stretched out her hand, and the palace maid who was still pinching her leg just now hurriedly got up to support her, let Concubine Xian stay, and then helped her to walk behind the screen to change clothes. After the brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes were changed, the palace maid carefully helped Concubine Xian out again.

It's just that at this time, in the room, there was already a row of palace maids and inner eunuchs standing quietly with jade boxes in their hands, and then it was a busy time, and the appearance of the virtuous concubine has never been simple.

But when Concubine Xian was preparing, the flower hall of the Chunhui Hall was already noisy because of the gathering of distinguished guests, although it was not the kind of people who were full of voices, but the continuous low laughter kept coming from all directions, repeatedly reminding Xu Youshan that this was a feast.

"It's a lot of people here today." Adhering to the fine tradition of the Pei family, the current Xu Youshan and the three of them had already found an inconspicuous position when they were greeting other ladies in the Pei family, sitting there alone to drink tea and eat snacks, and by the way, they also glanced at all the ladies and ladies in the flower hall one by one.

"Sister Huan'er, aren't you talking nonsense, this is a post sent by Concubine Xian with a palace banquet, who dares not to come?" Xu Yourong only swept the flower hall, and after finding that she didn't see any interested people, she concentrated on bowing her head and attacking the pastries, anyway, Nie Yufu had already greeted her in advance yesterday, saying that the Duchess of Zhenguo didn't want her to come much today, so Nie Yufu still didn't enter the palace to come to the banquet today, so Xu Yourong didn't have to bother looking for her anymore, so she didn't care about the other people in the flower hall.

"That's what I said, but this kind of picture of a gathering of nobles is still good." Xu Mingcheng sighed.

The forces in the Shendu have always been intricately tight, so a banquet that looks ordinary on the surface is actually innumerable in the secret entanglement of interests, so generally as long as you see the presence of several characters at a banquet, it is almost certain that the people from their hostile forces will not come to the banquet again, otherwise a good banquet is estimated to be reduced to a battlefield.

So Xu Mingcheng looked at these nobles in the flower hall at this time, and he really felt a lot for a while, and Xu Yourong raised his head and glanced at the others after hearing the words, and then lowered his head to eat the pastry again. As for Xu Youshan, she is the same as Xu Mingcheng, she has been scanning the other people in the flower hall, but the difference between her and Xu Mingcheng is that she has a goal, and what she has been looking for is also this target - Miss Wen, Wen Ya.

"Eh, Sister Huan, did you say that Mrs. Wen and Miss Wen haven't come yet, why didn't I see them?" After Xu Youshan searched for a long time, but did not find the Wen family's daughter, she finally couldn't help but ask Xu Mingxi.

"No, it's not early now, the guests have already arrived, but the flower hall is too large, so you can't find it for a while." Xu Mingcheng replied softly.

Xu Youshan heard this, after thinking about it, she also felt that Xu Mingcheng was right, so she moved her eyes to the flower hall again, and at this moment, a sharp voice sounded outside the door, after shaking all the sounds in the flower hall, a graceful figure appeared, and the golden phoenix Chaoyang Jiuling cloisonné blue water robe made of the best Wen Aya on her body was shining and refracting a beautiful brilliance as she moved step by step.
