Shoukang Palace is divided into two atriums, red walls and blue tiles, and the palace maids dressed in one color walk through the corridor with various silver plates, and there are all kinds of melons and fruits on them.

When Prince and Princess Ying walked by, there was silence again, and after the silence, the palace maids of this color blessed their bodies and saluted Prince and Princess Ying and Lord Anning in turn.

Not long after, there was an old man who was about forty or fifty in his hands, and walked over with a white face and a smile, and nodded with Prince Ying and Princess Ying in a shrill voice: "Prince Ying and the county lord of Anning have arrived, and the slave also said to the Queen Mother earlier, every time there is a wedding banquet in the palace, Prince and Princess Ying are the first to go to Shoukang Palace." ”

Prince Ying smiled: "Father-in-law Zhang is becoming more and more able to speak." ”

Then he went to the gate of the temple.

The maid next to Princess Ying stuffed a purse in the back of Gonggong Zhang's hand, and then hurriedly followed.

Gonggong Zhang got the purse in his hand, padded the weight, and immediately asked with a smile: "Prince and Princess Ying, this lady next to you is an eye-catcher, I don't know which courtier's wife." ”

"Shen Pingcheng, the wife of Lord Shen, today the emperor will hold a banquet for the Queen Mother, and Mrs. Shen will follow over to greet the Queen Mother first, and then you have to rely on Gonggong Zhang to mention one or two." Princess Ying's eyebrows turned slightly to Zhao's side, and said with a smile.

Prince Ying and Princess Ying have been in the palace for more than ten years, and they have been dealing with these things in the palace without changing their faces, and they are comfortable with it.

Father-in-law Zhang naturally didn't know who Lord Shen was, but he still looked suddenly enlightened, and said respectfully: "It turned out to be Mrs. Shen, no wonder she looked extravagant." ”

After that, when Gonggong Zhang entered the hall to report, he knelt at the feet of the Empress Dowager Qi with low eyebrows, his hands on the ground, and said softly: "The Empress Dowager, Prince and Princess Ying, the Lord of Anning is asking to see outside, and there is a lady, I heard that Prince Ying said that it is the wife of Lord Shen, the envoy of the Xuan. ”

Empress Dowager Qi eyebrows together, eyes slightly hanging, just looking at the face, it is full of majesty, dark red lips slightly open, leaning softly on the high couch with silk soft pillows behind her, eyebrows provocative: "Propaganda envoy?" ”

After a moment of silence, he shook his hand: "Declare it." ”

Gonggong Zhang stood up with retreat, stood on the side, and shouted a word to invite them into the hall.

Although the Empress Dowager Qi is not the biological mother of the emperor, she also watched the emperor grow up, and the emperor treated the Empress Dowager Qi like a mother, so in this resentful harem, the Empress Dowager Qi is in charge.

Shen Rongcai stepped into a corner of this hall, and she already felt that the oppressive aura in the hall was rushing towards her, she and Shen Lan stood at the end, and followed Prince Ying and Princess Ying to give a big gift to the Empress Dowager Qi and say goodbye.

She hadn't raised her eyes, but she lowered her eyelids and stared at the beads that showed her half-embroidered shoes.

But she could still feel the burning gaze of Empress Dowager Qi looking down from above.

Prince Ying smiled at the end of her eyes, gave a look to the servant behind her, and the servant behind her presented the congratulatory gift she had prepared earlier with both hands.

Prince Ying said: "This is a small congratulatory gift for the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan." ”

Empress Dowager Qi waved her hand and asked the palace maid to take the congratulatory gift, glanced sideways at Prince Ying and Princess Ying, and said with a smile: "What kind of congratulatory gift to give, there is nothing missing in this palace, it's all a blind effort." ”

Prince Ying smiled silently.

"Xiao Anning is also in the rules today, and he is silent." Empress Dowager Qi just glanced at the Zhao family, Shen Rong and Shen Lan in a hurry, and then her eyes fell on the county lord of Anning, she opened her mouth comfortably, and looked at the county lord of Anning gracefully and luxuriously.

Shen Rong took this opportunity to take a look, this scheming and even successful Empress Dowager Qi, she was wearing a palace dress with a crimson Fulu head, her face was ruddy and fair, the hair on her temples flew into her eyebrows, her posture was casual, and her eyes were sharp and sharp.

Except for the wrinkles on her face, Shen Rong saw that she was still a beauty with an excellent temperament.

Just thinking about it, the county lord of An Ning opened his mouth: "An Ning knows the measure, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, where can I be allowed to mess around." ”

But in a moment, Gonggong Zhang stepped on small steps, entered the main hall and said to the Empress Dowager Qi: "Queen Mother, Concubine Hui and Princess Roujia are waiting outside the palace. ”

"It's just a birthday, so I have to come over and let them in." Only then did the Empress Dowager Qi order the palace maids to let the Zhao family sit down.

The Zhao family is just the daughter of a foreign minister, staying in Shoukang Palace, even she feels a little uncomfortable, so she has to stay by the side of Prince Ying and Princess Ying.

Princess An Ning suddenly turned her face away, and whispered to Shen Rong: "Rou Jia's temperament is not bad, and she can get along." ”

Shen Rong looked at Concubine Hui and Princess Roujia who walked in from outside the hall in amazement.

The concubines in the harem have no choice in appearance, and the concubine in front of her is so beautiful that she has a lot of charm and charm.

Princess Roujia next to her is fresh and pretty.

After Concubine Hui and Princess Roujia saluted the Empress Dowager Qi, the Zhao family carried Shen Rong, and Shen Lan saluted Concubine Hui and Princess Roujia.

Princess Roujia smiled lightly at Lord Anning.

And the county lord of Anning raised her eyebrows at Shen Rong, and that look seemed to indicate that she was right, Princess Roujia was not delicate and difficult to speak.

Shen Rong sneered.

Empress Dowager Qi's birthday is the best time for concubines to scramble to curry favor with Empress Dowager Qi, so when Concubine Hui entered Shoukang Palace for less than a cup of tea, other concubines were not far behind to go to Shoukang Palace to greet Empress Dowager Qi.

Shen Rong looked at this scene and thought to himself, sure enough, the doorway in this deep house was nothing compared to the one in the deep palace.

Not worth mentioning.

There are many concubines in the palace, Concubine Hui saw that the Empress Dowager Qi's expression showed a little impatience, she said first: "Queen Mother, today's birthday, even the flowers in the imperial garden are in full bloom, I don't know how beautiful it is, it is better for the queen mother to take us to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers." ”

Empress Dowager Qi waved her hand: "This kind of lively thing is not good in this palace, you can take them to be lively and lively, so that the palace can be quiet and quiet." ”

Concubine Hui shirked with the Empress Dowager Qi a few times, and finally had to answer yes and take all the concubines out of Shoukang Palace.

The county lord of An Ning walked at the end, and Princess Roujia slowed down, walked with An Ning, and said with a smile: "An Ning, why did you enter the palace so early today, huh?" These two sisters looked at each other. ”
