Qiu Muyun's eyes trembled slightly, and he glanced at Tong Xue like a frightened deer, then smiled, and explained to her in a warm voice: "I didn't add a shoe back when I made these sleeping shoes, so it would be easier to put on and take off." ”

The Queen Mother also noticed the difference in the shoes, and repeatedly praised Qiu Muyun for her ingenuity and rewarded her with a diorama.

Because the lord of Jiahe entered the palace with the eldest princess of Qinghe yesterday to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother, and had already given a gift, so after Qiu Muyun gave the gift, the queen mother ordered to pass the meal.

All of them are women, and the Queen Mother likes to be lively, so she gave everyone to sit at the same table.

Everyone sat down in order, and the palace maids rushed in with food boxes, and soon a table full of dishes was placed on the table.

The Queen Mother smiled and said to everyone: "You're welcome, eat more." ”

At this moment, a shrill voice came from outside the hall. "The emperor has arrived!"

The chopsticks that everyone had just picked up in their hands had to be put down, and the imperial concubine frowned slightly, glanced at Tong Xue with her eyes silently, and then got up with everyone to welcome the arrival of the emperor.

The emperor wore a civilian clothes, strode into the main hall with his head held high, and before he could say hello to the queen mother, he was scolded by the queen mother.

"You said you wouldn't come early or late, the mourning family was about to have dinner with a group of little ladies, and you came in a hurry!"

"Isn't Erchen thinking about the food in his mother's harem, so he rushed over as soon as he was busy with the government." The emperor smiled in his words, his voice was warm, and when he heard the wind and rain in people's ears, the tension just now disappeared at once.

"What do you want to eat, the imperial dining room can't make it!" The Queen Mother muttered dissatisfiedly.

The imperial concubine found an opportunity at the right time. "The concubine has seen the emperor."

Tong Xue and others also did the same, and asked Emperor Xining for peace.

"Okay, everyone is even, if you are scared by me, the queen mother will blame me!" Emperor Xining said with a smile.

"Not really!" Although the Queen Mother accused him before, at this time, like an ordinary mother, she took Emperor Xining's hand, "Since you are in a hurry, let's have a meal together!" ”

As he spoke, he instructed Mama to add another table of food.

Then he turned to Tong Xue and the others, "Don't be scared by the emperor." Let's eat our own. Ignore him! As he spoke, he really took Qiu Muyun's hand, which was closest to him, and sat down at the dinner table.

Seeing this, the imperial concubine also beckoned Li Ling Tong Xue, the lord of Jiahe County, to sit down. Then he walked to the holy table. "Today, I can only be served by the concubines to eat with the saint."

The emperor smiled at the imperial concubine with a pleasant face. "You sit too."

The imperial concubine didn't shirk it, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and sat down with her eyes down on the right side of Emperor Xining.

There were two tables in the room. There was only the figure of the palace maid Bucai on the table, but there was no sound.

The imperial concubine ate the delicacies on the plate absentmindedly, but most of her attention was on Emperor Xining.

Seeing that although his expression was as usual, his eyes looked at the Queen Mother's table from time to time, and I don't know whether the Queen Mother was intentional or unintentional, the direction that Emperor Xining was facing was that Qiu Muyun!

Qiu Muyun was eighteen years old at the time, and no one cared about it, this time the queen mother specially brought a noble girl into the palace to live, and under the guise of looking at her granddaughter-in-law, the imperial concubine was not a fool, and she slandered the queen mother in her heart This is a drunkard who does not mean to drink!

In the past ten years, the queen mother has very little contact with her maternal brothers, rarely promotes brothers and nephews, but takes more care of the younger sisters of the same mother, and even her aunts and nieces are closer than her nieces.

The imperial concubine entered the palace three years after the death of the Empress Yuan, and in the first year she was busy fighting with the demon girl who came to Beiqiang and herself, and when she successfully gave birth to a son, sat on the throne of the imperial concubine, and took the phoenix seal to govern the six palaces, she gradually realized that the emperor had a cold attitude towards the queen mother or the queen mother.

Even the emperor did not love the eldest prince born after the Yuan Dynasty very much.

In fact, the emperor did not have too deep feelings for his children, no matter which palace concubine came out.

The imperial concubine and Emperor Xining have also been husband and wife for nearly ten years. The longer she spent with this man, the more she realized that this was an extremely cold man.

Or maybe all his feelings were annihilated with the death of Empress Yuan.

Or maybe it's pinned on a woman who can't ask for it, who can tell.

There is not much difference between such a man, how many women, or pampering that woman, are just playing on the spot for him.

Then the Queen Mother wants to stuff someone next to his bed, and it is very easy.

Thinking that the palace will soon have one more fresh and beautiful new face who is related to the queen mother, the imperial concubine's heart is a little sour.

At the Queen Mother's table, Xu felt that the atmosphere at the banquet was too dull. The Queen Mother pulled Qiu Muyun and talked about family life, "How is your mother?" The mourning family hadn't seen her in a while. ”

Although Mrs. Qiu is the sister of the Queen Mother, she is only the wife of the Ministry of Works, and according to her rank, she is not qualified to enter the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother.

Naturally, if the Empress Dowager misses her sister, she can order the little eunuch to preach the edict and summon Mrs. Qiu into the palace.

It's just that, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, doing too much hurts the sisterhood.

Therefore, she only announced Qiu Muyun's entry into the palace this time.

Naturally, the Queen Mother also has her own plans.

"My mother is in good health, and she often prays for her mother in the house, wishing her peace and prosperity."

"My mother often told me in the house that there is no more blessed old lady in this world than her ancestors!" The county lord of Jiahe was busy and quipped.

She will leave the cabinet in the spring of next year, and she will not have much time to accompany the queen mother in the future, and she will even speak a little bolder.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help laughing. "Jiahe, how much honey does your mother pour into you every day, and your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!"

Everyone was amused by the Queen Mother's words, and Tong Xue took the opportunity to stuff the half-eaten braised lion's head into her mouth.

She just felt that the braised lion's head in the imperial dining room was brighter than that made by the chef in the palace, so she glanced at it more, and the palace maid of the cloth dish sandwiched a big lion's head into the plate in front of her.

And she lowered her head, only opened her mouth to take a bite, and the Queen Mother looked for Qiu Muyun to speak.

Tong Xue was going to get rid of this half of the lion's head silently, but an unexpected voice suddenly came into her ears.

"The one I hadn't seen before before for a few little ladies at the banquet must be the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, right?"

It was the emperor who was sitting at the other table, looked at Tong Xue and asked with a smile.

Tong Xue seemed to have been caught stealing the kitten, with half a round in her mouth, first in horror and Emperor Xining's gaze, and then saw everyone's eyes brushing towards her. (To be continued......)
