Chapter 137: The Banquet Begins

"Mother, I also want to have a child, so that my future life will be stable, but you also know that I can't do it now! If I bring a child in, I will definitely be denounced by others, and our whole family will be in danger if I get it! Ding Yuxi said scaredly.

"My stupid boy, my mother didn't mean that, how could I let you take such a big risk, in this palace, there are dangers everywhere, even if you really break the dragon species, you may not be able to give birth, so you have to think of other ways!" The second lady squinted her eyes and said.

"Otherwise! Ding Yuxi touched her chin and thought hard, she wanted to understand her mother's meaning, but there were some obstacles.

Seeing that the time was pressing, the second lady couldn't help but say: "After the emperor died, it was naturally the crown prince who inherited the throne, and he had the final say in the palace in the future, today my mother saw His Royal Highness the prince, he is handsome and chic, and you are the same age, why don't you work him, if you can get the prince's confidence, wouldn't your position in the palace in the future be stable, and who else would dare to give you a face among those women!" ”

Hearing these words, Ding Yuxi suddenly realized that this was indeed a good way back, but she was still very worried in her heart.

"But I rarely see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the harem, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't necessarily like me, I really don't know how to get along with His Royal Highness the Prince, if someone knows, I'm afraid...!"

"Why did you get to the palace and become less courageous, if you want to contact a man, can you still have a way? Didn't you seduce the emperor a lot before? Didn't I tell you some more, haven't you had time to use it yet? Why not give it a try! In the harem, if you look ahead and look backward, there will be no turnaround! The second lady admonished.

"Mother, you're right, I can't go on like this, I can't go on like this, I've noticed that the emperor's body is getting weaker and weaker, he relies on pills to refresh himself every time, if he really returns to heaven, then I won't be kicked out of the palace, what should I do then!" Ding Yuxi said worriedly.

Now to say that she is worried is more accurate to say panic, she is very worried about the future of the qiē, now she has adapted to the life, she can only go better and better, she can never accept the loss of a qiē.

"My good daughter, I believe in you, you will definitely come out of a way, my mother is waiting to borrow your light, and when the time comes, I will let the master raise me to formalize, and our mother and daughter will come out!" The second lady said with a laugh, and there seemed to be a beautiful scene of fantasy in her eyes.

"Mother, don't worry, this qiē will be realized, I will work hard, every time I am with the old emperor, I feel sick in my heart, I am so beautiful at such a young age, I shouldn't guard a dead old man!" Ding Yuxi said with a handkerchief.

"What gift did you prepare for the queen's birthday this time?" The second lady asked curiously.

"I know that the queen mother often recites Buddha, so I asked people to prepare a jade Guanyin! Yes, there is! Ding Yuxi walked to the shelf next to him, took off the brocade box on it, and presented the Jade Guanyin in front of the second lady.

"This jade Guanyin is really exquisite, you look at the carving above, this jade is also a good jade, crystal clear, really good! It must have cost a lot of money! The second lady's eyes were shining for the time being.

"Silver is nothing, anyway, I can't spend anything in the palace, so it's better to take this opportunity to please the queen!" Ding Yuxi said with a smile.

"That's right, let's go over now, we can't miss it! Your father has long since passed," the second lady stood up as if she remembered something.

"Mother, don't worry, let's go slowly! Hurry! Ding Yuxi said with a smile.

Ding Yishi looked at the lively scene around her, in fact, she didn't like it very much, so she found a corner and sat down quietly.

Ding Qianyi and Ding Yuyi got together in the crowd, chatting with the families of other officials, watching them chatting happily on the side, and her worries were also put down a lot.

Ding Yishi felt a cool breeze, she didn't have any cold meaning, but felt very comfortable, she walked in the direction of the wind and came to a peach blossom forest.

"I didn't expect there to be peach blossoms here!" Ding Yishi walked towards the peach blossom tree as she walked.

Although there are not many peach blossom trees, after being blown by the wind, the peach blossoms everywhere are very beautiful.

"The breeze blows the flowing clouds, the hearts of the people in my heart have not been returned, my heart knows each other in your heart, and the peach blossoms fly down the glass heart!"

Ding Yishi followed the prestige and saw Lang Haochen appear in front of her with a plum blossom in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was still like the spring breeze in March, which made people's hearts warm.

"Why did you show up again!" Ding Yishi deliberately pretended not to care and turned her body over.

"What, don't you want to see me? Do you really miss me? Oh, my God! I miss you so much! Lang Haochen walked in front of Ding Yishi and said with a smile.

"I don't want to! I don't want to at all, and I'm going to ask you not to always appear in front of me, okay! Ding Yishi shook her head and said.

"Have you forgotten that we still have an agreement? I've already helped you find the medicinal herbs you are missing, don't you want to refine the Nine Dragon Pills? It seems that I am redundant, then I will go! Lang Haochen walked towards the back with a disappointed face.

"Hey, stop there!" Ding Yishi hurriedly turned around and stopped Lang Haochen.

"I knew you couldn't bear me!" Lang Haochen hurriedly retreated in front of Ding Yishi with a cute expression.

"Did you say you'd already found any other herbs? It's true? Ding Yishi said in surprise.

Lang Haochen nodded vigorously with a smile, then bent his eyes in front of Ding Yishi and said, "Are you reluctant to let me go?" ”

"I hate it, by the way, how about the second prince? After I left, I was worried about him, did his condition improve? Ding Yishi said worriedly.

"It seems that you like the second emperor brother very much! Ay! It's a pity that I've been thinking about you for so many days, my heart! Lang Haochen lowered his head and suddenly became very sad.

"Oh, when are you going to stop making trouble! Hurry up, hurry up! Sue me! Ding Yishi was made to laugh and cry by Lang Haochen's attitude, and said with her hand on his chest.

"Okay, then I'll sue you, I've sent the second emperor brother to the Taoist temple, and arranged for Xiaoyaozi to treat him, his condition is very stable, I believe, it will get better soon!" Lang Haochen said with a smile.

"With the master here, I will definitely help and the second prince will recover, so my heart can be at ease!" Ding Yishi put her hand to her heart and said.

"Do you only care about the second emperor brother, don't you have anyone else who cares, don't you have anything to ask?" Lang Haochen walked in suddenly, then stared at Ding Yishi and asked.

"I... I! Ding Yishi lowered her head, blushed, and took a step back, at this time she really didn't know what to say.

"You two are here, and the party is about to begin!"

The two people suddenly looked up and saw Xiao Hongxi appear in front of them, their eyes staring at the two of them.

"It's really disappointing, the critical moment has appeared!" Lang Haochen said in a low voice, most of the smile just now had disappeared, and he looked at Ding Yishi helplessly, and could only see that the opportunity to get into a relationship with Ding Yishi was gone.

"Oh, we were just fascinated by the scenery here, why don't you come and enjoy it together!" Lang Haochen walked in front of Xiao Hongxi with a smile and said.

"The peach blossoms here are indeed beautiful, but we probably don't have time to enjoy them here, because the banquet is about to start, let's go back!" After Xiao Hongxi finished speaking, he glanced at Ding Yishi.

"Thank you Prince Xi for reminding us, we have finished reading it and can go back!" After Ding Yishi finished speaking, she walked straight to the front, not looking back all the way, not wanting to see Lang Haochen's naughty appearance.

"Lord Xi, sometimes I really love you too much!" After Lang Haochen said with emotion, he followed in the direction of Ding Yishi.

Xiao Hongxi didn't fully understand what Lang Haochen meant, he stood in place and thought for a few seconds, then shook his head, worried in his heart, is this Lang Haochen not enough to understand him, he won't have any habit of breaking his sleeves!

"Big sister is back, you see this is the pastry I just brought, my sister must be hungry, let's eat a piece first!" Ding Yuyi smiled and brought a plate of pastries to Ding Yishi.

"Thank you, Fifth Sister, I'm not hungry yet!" After Ding Yishi finished speaking, she glanced around and found that Ding Junguang and the second lady had already arrived, and sat down safely, and she also sat down.

Soon saw the emperor and the queen appear in everyone's sight, and everyone immediately knelt on the ground and greeted the two masters.

"Excuse me, everybody!" The emperor said with a smile.

"Xie Majesty, Queen Xià!" Everyone smiled and stood up and returned to their places.

"Thank you for coming to the birthday banquet of this palace, I hope you can enjoy it today!" The queen smiled and stood up with a wine glass and said.

"Empress Xie!" The crowd followed suit with their glasses.

When Ding Yishi raised her glass, she happened to see Lang Haochen on the other side looking at her, her face turned red, and she turned her head in one direction, but found that the prince was also looking at herself and laughing, which made her feel very strange for a while.

The prince's actions and words were really different, as if he had something to say, and he didn't finish it, leaving a lot of room for himself to guess. However, she sincerely hoped that she would not have any contact with the crown prince, especially when she thought of the last time he poisoned and murdered her father, which made her remember it vividly.

"Sister, eat this, this is delicious!" Ding Yuyi said with a smile next to him.

"Good!" Ding Yishi nodded, seeing Ding Yuyi's happy appearance, she had obviously forgotten the previous unpleasantness, she turned her head to look at Ding Yuxi who was sitting among the concubines, and the expression on her face was very calm and calm. With other concubines, she is also talking and laughing, and now Ding Yuxi is not the same person as Ding Yuxi she knew before, you can see it from her eyes.

The people in the hall were clinking glasses with each other and exchanging emotions, many people were laughing and talking, and there were many dancers in the center of the hall, dancing different dances.

Ding Yishi looked at the Yiqi in front of him, and felt that all the days would be like now, there would be so many calculations and frame-ups, and there would not be so many tragic battles. But the truth is far from what she is looking at, she has too many emotions in her heart that she wants to vent, but she finds that there is no one around her who can communicate.

Before she knew it, she had already eaten a few glasses of water and wine, and this feeling made her feel very sober.

"Miss, you can't drink anymore, the queen will have to summon the female dependents alone for a while, be careful for a while and let the lady see it, it's not good!" After noticing Ding Yishi's actions on the side, Lingguang hurriedly reminded softly.

"I'm not drinking wine, I'm lonely! Hehe! Ding Yishi said with a smile while holding the wine glass, she didn't know why she said this, but after saying it, she felt that she was very funny and wanted to laugh.

The queen looked at the time when it was almost over, so she walked to the emperor's side with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to meet the female relatives alone, and has prepared a small banquet in the palace. ”

"Oh? The right person, what does the queen mean? The emperor looked at the queen with a smile and asked softly.

"The prince's age is not too young, and the concubine thinks it's time to find a virtuous person to take care of the prince!" The Empress replied softly.

"Yes! Or the queen is careful, you can do it with confidence! The emperor said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After the queen had made a salute, she headed outside.

Ding Yishi continued to shake the glass in her hand and tasted the wine in front of her. Lingruo took her hand and said softly: "The queen mother has come to the will, and all the female dependents will go to Fengxia Palace to see the queen mother!" Let's go, Miss! If you drink it again, you'll get drunk! ”

"Don't worry, I know it in my heart! Let's go! Ding Yishi's body shook a little when she stood up.

Seeing Ding Yishi's appearance on the other side, Lang Haochen was a little worried, and wanted to go over to see Ding Yishi, but heard the emperor's call.

"Third Prince, welcome you back, we in the Blue Kingdom welcome you!" The emperor said with a smile.

"Thank you, I have always regarded Zhanlan as my second hometown, so I have a very deep feeling, thank you very much for your reception!" Lang Haochen hurriedly stepped forward to express his gratitude.

"You can come as many times as you like in the future, if you like it, you can stay here often, and I will have someone arrange a room for you, reserved for you!" The emperor said with a laugh.

"Thank you, I will tell my father the courtesy I received in the Blue Country!" Lang Haochen saluted and said.

Ding Yishi followed the guide palace maid in front of her to Fengxia Palace, all the people sat down on both sides, and Ding Yishi hurriedly found her place and sat down.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" The palace maid shouted loudly.

Everyone knelt on the ground with their heads bowed, waiting for the queen's orders.

"Get up! Everyone, don't be formal, this is just a family banquet, there is no etiquette of the court, come on, serve wine and food! The queen said with a smile, stretching out her hand and signaling to the palace maid next to her.

At this moment, Concubine Su Guifei walked to the middle, saluted the queen and said, "May the queen be in good health, this is the snow lotus brought back by the concubine in the snow mountain." ”

After Su Guifei finished speaking, she motioned to the maidservant next to her to open the brocade box, and then sent it to the queen.

"My sister has a heart, this snow lotus is crystal clear and really top-grade, thank you!" The queen said politely.

After Concubine Su stepped back, it was Concubine Chen, she walked over and put a ginseng in front of the queen, and then said with a smile: "This is the wild ginseng handed down by the ancestors of the concubine, I wish the queen a long life and Tianqi!" ”

"Thank you!"

Looking at the concubines in front of her one after another, Ding Yuxi was very anxious, just saw an opportunity, when she got up to go, she was blocked by Concubine Lan, and after glaring at her, she proudly walked in front of the queen and said: "Queen Mother, this is the picture of longevity embroidered by Lan'er for you, I hope that the mother will live a long life!" ”

"Concubine Lan embroidered it herself, it's really beautiful, you have a heart!" The queen said with a smile.

"Xie Niangniang!"

After Concubine Lan retreated, Ding Yuxi walked over with the gift, and after saluting respectfully, she opened the box and said: "The concubine knows that Niangniang is benevolent and kind, so she specially ordered someone to create this Jade Guanyin, wishing Niangniang good luck!" ”

"Jade Guanyin, it's really vivid! Good! The queen said with a smile.

Hearing the queen mother's words, Ding Yuxi was very happy in her heart, and walked towards Concubine Lan with a smile. Concubine Lan glanced at her angrily.

One after another, they are all rare treasures, which really dazzled Ding Yishi, she has been sitting quietly, as if she is a lotus flower.

It wasn't until Lingruo reminded her that she noticed that it was the turn of the officials' families to pay tribute and congratulate the second lady kept glancing at her, and Ding Yishi walked to the hall unhurriedly.

"The courtier Ding Yishi knocked on the queen's mother!" Ding Yishi saluted and said.

"You are General Ding's concubine, Ding Yishi?" The queen asked, looking at the person in front of her.

"Back to the mother, the little girl is exactly!" Ding Yishi replied with a smile.

The queen carefully looked at the lotus-like woman in front of her, the white flying fairy skirt set off her whole person as if she had come out of a fairyland, the peach blossom eyes were even more watery, as if she could speak, and the flowing cloud bun set off her noble temperament even more, no wonder it would make the prince tempted.

"Queen Mother, this is the birthday gift prepared by the little girl for the mother, the flying crane skirt!" After Ding Yishi finished speaking, she gave Lingruo a look, and Lingruo hurriedly opened the box and showed the flock of flying cranes to the queen.

After seeing the flying crane skirt displayed by Lingruo, everyone was stunned, they had never seen such a gorgeous skirt, and the pattern of the skirt was so special, it felt as if a real crane was ready to take off.

"Feihequn, it's really beautiful, I didn't expect such a beautiful skirt, did you make this skirt?" The queen said in amazement.

"Returning to the queen's mother, it was made by the courtier!" Ding Yishi replied with a smile.

"It's really a blue heart!" The queen smiled and walked in front of the flying crane skirt, touching the pattern on it with her hand, she really dreamed that the crane appeared last night and gave her a longevity peach, but she didn't expect that it would really appear today, and she couldn't help but be happy.
