Chapter 519: Inserting the knife

Chinese New Year's Eve is a day of great reunion for every family, and no matter how poor the people are, they must also cook a table of dishes richly and richly, and the family gathers around the dinner table, talking and laughing, eating and drinking, and keeping the New Year for the coming of the new year.

Of course, as the supreme royal family of the empire, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is naturally more grand and luxurious.

The sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing gracefully, even the seventh prince Xu Jingyu, who is the most unpopular with the emperor on weekdays, can't escape this annual dinner.

On the high seat, the empress and the emperor seemed very close and intimate, toasting and drinking from time to time, and talking in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, look, the princes and princesses have grown up one by one!" Queen Qiao Ya swept the princesses and their spouses lined up under the seat one by one, and couldn't hide the relief on her face, as for how much maternal love she gave to the children who didn't belong to her, only she knew it.

Xu Ruixiang's gaze roughly swept over the faces of all the children, and the most concerned about it was naturally his favorite Jiu'er Xu Jingxuan, this kid also grew up unconsciously, and he was no longer the good boy who always pestered him and his concubine to call him father and queen mother, but a bastard boy who always had to fight with him.

Hum! Hum!

Thinking that he couldn't stay in the palace for a few days and had to leave the palace before the year, Xu Ruixiang felt angry.

The son is not a father, and the stinky boy is not cute at all when he grows up.

"Yes, the children have grown up, and we are also old!" Xu Ruixiang retracted his gaze and sighed, and then touched his cup with Queen Qiao, and suddenly stared at her as if he had discovered a new world. "However, I see that the queen's complexion is good today, and her complexion seems to be much better than before!"

Queen Qiao was immediately flattered and put down the glass cup in her hand, stroked her cheeks, and suddenly felt that her skin was smooth and delicate, and her cheeks flew red clouds, I don't know if it was because of the wine, or because she was shy for a long time.

"This is still the credit of Concubine De, it was she who suggested that the concubine also use the skin care products of the Rongzi Beauty Salon, and the concubine's skin has improved!" Queen Qiao still remembered Concubine De in her heart.

Although she and Concubine De. Whether it is a competition for favor in front of the emperor. is still fighting secretly for his son's future status, the two of them are destined to be rivals with discord for the rest of their lives from the moment they enter the palace, and they can no longer become real good sisters, but it is precisely because of this layer of competition that cannot be avoided. She has the motivation to keep pushing herself.

The corners of Xu Ruixiang's mouth twitched. How can I hear about that girl on New Year's Eve? It's a bit of a ghost!

Fortunately, he has been on the top for so many years, and he should have the demeanor he should have, and he didn't throw his face because the queen casually mentioned the beauty salon.

"Hmmm! It's really good. I looked at the women in the palace and their complexions were indeed much better! Of course, although he didn't directly show the uninteresting queen's face, he still carefully sprinkled a handful of salt on the queen's heart.

Who told you to mention that stinky girl to me!

The queen is the first chair in the palace, and it also means that she is also the oldest, and every four years she can see fresh blood like flowers waiting to be injected into the harem, it is not easy for her to maintain a heart as unshaken as possible.

Of course, it depends on who is sticking a knife in her heart?

The usual concubine, no matter how much she shows off in front of her, in her opinion, as long as her status is still there, those are not a threat.

However, the emperor's seemingly fair and just sentence made her hurt terribly!

But the emperor didn't seem to realize that she had hurt the queen's heart, of course she couldn't have a seizure, she could only look at the radiant concubines, and bite the root of her secretly hated teeth.

"This is the emperor's blessing, and it is also what the concubines should do!"

To put it mildly, in addition to opening up branches and leaves for the emperor and continuing the heirs, the purpose of these concubines entering the palace is just to please the emperor, and it is natural for them to keep their faces intact.

Xu Ruixiang listened to Long Yan Dayue, everyone has a love for beauty, he is in love with a woman, but it is not excluded that he can share a little more like and pampering for the rest of the people.

If it wasn't the little girl who brought the beautiful faces of his concubines, he thought, he would definitely reward him greatly.

Therefore, he is only used, and he is not in the mood to appreciate it.

"By the way, Your Majesty, when the former concubine was chatting with several sisters, the sisters all mentioned the marriage of the Seventh Prince, the Eighth Prince, and the Ninth Prince, what do you mean, Your Majesty?" Queen Qiao, who was a little dazed in her heart, decided not to hurt herself without fun, so let's mention the matter of duty first!

The reason why the Seven Princes is mentioned, Queen Qiao doesn't like him very much, it's just that although the emperor doesn't want to see the Seven Princes, as the mother of a country and the mother of all the princes, she naturally wants to be fair.

As for whether the emperor still put aside the marriage of the seventh prince in the end, it is not that she failed to fulfill her mother's responsibility.

The eighth prince, last time he married Miss Yan of the Zhenxi General's Mansion, he proposed to withdraw from the marriage for various reasons, and now it has been shelved.

Of course, the main target she mentioned today is naturally Xu Jingxuan.

Stinky boy, finally starting a family!

Xu Ruixiang looked at Xu Jingxuan, who was drinking happily with Xu Jingxuan, and suddenly found that this stinky boy was not intentional, he always had to make do with people he didn't like.

Also, Xu Jingxuan, a boy with no conscience, doesn't know his fatherly mood and lets him be a little soft, say good things or something, and then quit those bad habits, he will still treat him as a good son.

"The eighth child's marriage is indeed to be reconsidered, the seventh child will let him be, I see that his heart is still ambitious!" Thinking that Xu Jingyu's temper was worse than him, Xu Ruixiang's nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes.

"The sisters discussed it, and also put forward a few people of the right age to be selected, and felt that Huang Xin'er, the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was well-behaved and sensible, and Dong Fen, the second daughter of the Hou Mansion of Dong'an, was gentle and virtuous, saying that it should be more suitable for the eighth prince!"

"Well, the queen is in charge, just pick one among them!" Most of the marriages of the daughters of the royal family are decided by the queen, although it was Xu Ruixiang who made the final decree, but as the emperor, he is concerned about the major affairs of the court and the central government, so he naturally will not put too much energy on the marriage of his children.

Of course, not spending energy on this does not mean that he will ignore it, if the queen is selfish and selfish, he will also ask. (To be continued......)
