The spring banquet on the first day of the first month of the sixth year of Yongchang is located in the Taiji Hall of the Taiji Palace where the Yongchang Emperor lives.

Taiji Palace was called Beinei by the people of the time, and Taiji Hall is a large hall that distinguishes between the inner and outer dynasties, and it is also a place where various large-scale banquets are held.

Of course, the spring banquet should be held in the Taiji Hall.

In the Taiji Hall sat a man, presided over by Emperor Yongchang at the top. The one who was entertained in the Liangyi Hall of the Inner Dynasty was the female dependent, and the one who sat at the top was, of course, the Wan Guifei who was now in the harem with the phoenix seal.

Since Emperor Yongchang's original wife Ouyang Zi passed away before the founding of the Great Qi Kingdom, he announced that he would never stand as the queen, and he hung the throne to show the unshakable status of Ouyang Zi.

However, no matter how great the glory is, it can't match the reality that Ouyang Zi has passed away.

Today's harem is the world of Wan Guifei.

Without the queen pressing her on her head, she is the de facto queen in the inner court.

Sitting on the seat on the left side of Wan Guifei is Cui Zhenzhen, the crown princess dressed in noble Qinghua. However, Cui Zhenzhen's face was a little gloomy, and he seemed to be depressed. Sitting next to Cui Zhenzhen is a delicate and plump beauty - the prince Liangdi Cui Lianlian, and Cui Zhenzhen are cousins from the Cui family in Qinghe.

On the right side of Concubine Wan, the first is her biological daughter Princess Qianjin, and below the Qianjin Princess is Princess Pingle, the only princess born by the former queen Ouyang Zi.

Next, it is the banquet of the lords of the noble clans, as well as the wives and daughters of the powerful ministers.

Sitting in the first position below the prince Liangdi Cui Lianlian is her sister-in-law Cui Yingying. Cui Lianlian will be nineteen years old after the New Year, and Cui Yingying will be seventeen years old. Judging by age. If it were in the people, the two of them would have married and had children a long time ago.

However, the customs of Daqi, the more noble the daughter, the later she married, because of the love of her father, she couldn't bear to let her pampered daughter marry early, to serve her in-laws, and at the same time to bear the pain of childbirth with her young body.

Qinghe Cui's family is the first in the Great Qi Shi clan, and the daughter of the Cui family has never been worried about getting married. Even if it is an old aunt and wife who has been married and widowed four or five times, there is still an endless stream. Someone came to the door and asked for a marriage.

Cui Lianlian and Cui Yingying are the most promising daughters of the Cui family in Qinghe. The value is even more extraordinary. Seeing that they are old and not yet married, they know that the Cui family is living in strange goods, waiting to exchange their lives for the declining Cui family for the greatest benefits.

In the lunar month last year, the prince hired Cui Lianlian, the eldest daughter of the Cui family's third room, as a good woman. Although not a concubine. It is a concubine's room. The Cui family's three-room was also allowed. At first, he was a little reluctant, but later after Cui Sanlang was shot off by Du Hengshuang, the wife of the Marquis of Zhuguo, the third room of the Cui family immediately sent Cui Lianlian to the East Palace. Not even a big gift.

Cui Lianlian has had the best relationship with her third brother Cui Sanlang since she was a child, and when she saw that her third brother was shot into a cripple by Du Hengshuang, the wife of the Marquis of Zhuguo from the Hanmen Shu clan, she was also angry and vowed to avenge Cui Sanlang.

However, her eldest brother Cui Dalang warned her not to provoke the people of the Zhuguo Marquis Mansion easily, His Majesty was worried that he could not find an excuse to clamp down on the Shi clan, she couldn't let her anger blindfold her, and she couldn't give someone a handle. Besides, she is now the crown prince, and her every move not only represents the Qinghe Cui family, but also the prince of the East Palace.

If she makes any inappropriate moves, even if she can be angry for a while, but if she makes His Majesty unhappy, it will also affect the prince.

And the crown prince is the biggest treasure that their Qinghe Cui family has bet.

If this treasure can't ascend to the emperor's throne, their Qinghe Cui family will suffer the disaster of annihilation.

Such an admonition made Cui Lianlian no longer act rashly.

She sat next to the crown princess Cui Zhenzhen, and her eyes kept glancing at the seat of Prince Yi and Princess Murong Lanzhou, who was sitting not far from them.

Murong Lanzhou's belly was high and bulging, and it looked like she was about to give birth soon.

Du Hengshuang took Brother Ping and Sister An to sit behind a long case with Prince Yi and Princess Murong Lanzhou.

The table was full of food in the palace, but except for a few exquisite snacks, Du Hengshuang and the two children were not used to eating other dishes.

Murong Lanzhou couldn't get used to it. But even if she is used to eating, she will not eat a bite. She is about to give birth, and when she comes to the palace today, she is just going through the motions.

Prince Yi has already asked Emperor Yongchang for a good will, and when Concubine Wan and her daughters are finished sacrificing to the God of Spring, Murong Lanzhou can leave the stage in advance.

Emperor Yongchang understood that his son Prince Yi was old and had no heirs, so he knew that he attached great importance to Murong Lanzhou's birth, so he readily agreed.

Du Hengshuang knew that he had said, and whispered to Murong Lanzhou: "The princess is really lucky, she is going back soon." ”

Murong Lanzhou knew that Du Hengshuang was a little stunned, so he held her hand and said, "You should also recognize the people here." In the future, the Marquis of Zhu Guo will not be a nobody before, and such occasions will be a common thing for you. You can't just dodge. ”

Du Hengshuang nodded with a smile, took Murong Lanzhou's hand and shook it gently, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Long time no see, the princess said that people are ...... when they meet."

Only in front of Murong Lanzhou did Du Hengshuang behave a little childishly. In her eyes, Murong Lanzhou is as amiable as her eldest sister.

Murong Lanzhou also loved Du Hengshuang very much, and treated her as a sister-in-law. Murong Lanzhou's parents died early when he was young, and he lived with his brother in his uncle's house, and he also suffered a lot of warmth.

Later, when he came to Chang'an, because of Xiao Shi's relationship with Prince Yi, Murong Lanzhou and Du Hengshuang also became acquainted. The two had a similar temperament and soon became friends.

This time when he entered the palace, Xiao Shihe planned to ask Murong Lanzhou to take care of Du Hengshuang.

But later, Du Hengshuang still asked Xiao Shiji not to say this.

Murong Lanzhou is about to give birth, how can she have the energy to take care of others? It would be nice if she could take care of herself.

Therefore, when Du Hengshuang came to the Liangyi Hall with the two children at the beginning, he didn't think about sitting with Murong Lanzhou.

It was Murong Lanzhou's insistence that Du Hengshuang took the two children from the farthest seat near the gate in the main hall to the nearest high-class seat near the head.

Although Du Hengshuang didn't mind sitting at the door, he let the two children also blow the cold wind. That's a no-go.

When he saw that his position was arranged far away, Du Hengshuang already had a little bottom in his heart. She squinted at it, and the ghost behind the crown princess was still there, looking so familiar and so unfamiliar. Thinking of the past, it is really a trance.

When Murong Lanzhou invited her to sit on her table, Du Hengshuang excused herself a little and went over with her two children.

"Why don't you have an appetite?" Murong Lanzhou asked with a smile.

Du Hengshuang smiled softly and said in a low voice: "Don't be hungry, eat two pieces of dim sum and fill it up." ”

Brother Ping and Sister An sat beside Du Hengshuang with their heads down. It's very well-behaved.

Murong Lanzhou is about to become a mother. When I see a child, I can't walk.

Sister An sat in the middle of Murong Lanzhou and Du Hengshuang.

Murong Lanzhou took Sister An in his arms, smiled and stroked her tender and flawless little face, and said, "Today is the first day of the new year, the best day of the year." Sister An. You say, don't you? ”

Sister An obediently snuggled in Murong Lanzhou's arms. The milky voice said "yes" angrily. He turned around and gently put his little hand on Murong Lanzhou's upright belly, and asked quietly, "Princess Niangniang, do you have a baby in your belly?" ”

Murong Lanzhou nodded yes. asked Sister An, "Did you say it was a baby boy or a baby girl?" ”

"Baby boy." Sister An nodded affirmatively, "It must be my brother." ”

Murong Lanzhou was overjoyed, lowered his head and hugged Sister An'er's cheek and kissed it, took off a mutton fat jade bracelet with excellent jade quality on his wrist, put it in Sister An'er's small wrist, and said, "Inherit our Sister An'er's good words." This time, if I want to get a man, I will definitely ask Sister An for a title from His Majesty. ”

Du Hengshuang was overjoyed when she heard this, and thanked her again and again. She herself was born in a poor family, and Xiao Shiji is also a family member, and the two are a good match, and there is no question of who is not worthy of whom.

But Sister An is different. She is a Hanmen Shu clan, but at the same time, her father is the only pillar marquis of Daqi. The identity of the high lord and the low door will make it very difficult for Sister An's family affairs in the future, basically they are not high or low.

If Murong Lanzhou can really help Sister An ask for a title, even if it is a county monarch, it will be good, at least it can offset the adverse effects of the Hanmen Shu clan.

When Concubine Wan saw that everyone had arrived, she stood up with a bronze lord with a basin, and took all the female dependents to sacrifice to the god of spring, praying that the god of spring would bless Daqi with good weather and prosperity in the coming year!

All the ladies and dependents attended and knelt in the main hall of the Liangyi Palace, and followed Wan Guifei to recite words, expressing their awe of the god of spring.

After a set of rituals were done, Murong Lanzhou was already out of breath.

After four or five months of recuperation, Du Hengshuang's body has recovered most of it.

Seeing that Murong Lanzhou was so tired that her forehead was sweating, Du Hengshuang half-supported Murong Lanzhou, almost kneeling down with her.

Murong Lanzhou whispered thanks in Du Hengshuang's ear: "Thank you so much." I was trying to protect you, but you ended up protecting me. ”

Du Hengshuang smiled and whispered: "The princess said so, and she will see the outside." Aren't we here just watching and helping each other? As he spoke, he flew up for the first time.

From the place where the Cui family's daughters knelt and sit, a grim gaze came, and they glanced at Du Hengshuang a few times.

Du Hengshuang only felt that the hairs on his back and neck stood upright, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Du Hengshuang's face sank, and he raised his eyes and looked straight at Cui's house.

Her gaze was cold, no worse than the cold gaze just now.

When she looked at it, she happened to be right with a pair of eyes with scrutiny and weighing.

Du Hengshuang looked fixedly, it was Cui Yingying, the second daughter of the Cui family's third room, who Murong Lanzhou had identified her just now.

It turned out to be them.

Du Hengshuang lowered his head with some disdain, and he was relieved.

It is not uncommon for people in the third room of the Cui family to be enemies of her.

She shot off the arms of Cui Sanlang in the third room of the Cui family, and the people in the third room of the Cui family did not hate her to the core.

As long as it wasn't someone else, she couldn't figure it out, and the people of the Qinghe Cui family didn't pay much attention to it.

It is true that the other party is the most prestigious scholar clan with the five surnames and seven hopes, but the strength is there. In addition to Cui Sanlang, the Qinghe Cui family has not been able to find a second person who can take charge of the military within ten years.

If you can't lead troops, the status of the gate lord of the scholar clan is in jeopardy.

This time, Xiao Shiji also made it very clear to Du Hengshuang, and he had already warned her, at the Spring Festival Banquet, the female dependents of the Cui family's third room would definitely give her a look at her face and make her ready.

Du Hengshuang was not afraid of the Cui family, and of course he was fully prepared.

If anyone in the Cui family dares to provoke her again, she doesn't mind adding another name to the Cui family's list of disabled people.

Du Hengshuang burst into a dazzling smile at the gaze that couldn't dodge.

The bright smile stung Cui Yingying's eyes. She couldn't restrain her emotions and glared at Du Hengshuang angrily. ——Just a slut from a poor family!

Seeing this, Cui Lianlian coughed softly.

Cui Yingying hurriedly lowered her head and no longer looked at Du Hengshuang.

Murong Lanzhou knelt there with his waist on his back, panting at Du Hengshuang: "I'm almost dying." This year's Spring Festival is too long, not a little longer than in previous years. "The ground was cold marble, and there was not even lichen.

Du Hengshuang's heart moved, and he looked at the few people who were holding up the cup to worship the god of spring with their backs to everyone, including Wan Guifei, Princess Qianjin, Princess Pingle, as well as the crown princess and Prince Liangdi......

Du Hengshuang squinted and said, "...... It seems that there are still people who don't want you to give birth smoothly, princess. ”

Murong Lanzhou lowered his head and smiled, and said lightly: "How can I let them get their wish?!" As he spoke, Murong Lanzhou tilted to the ground and said loudly, "...... Help me! Save my child! My baby! My kids ......"

Du Hengshuang understood, and also shouted: "Someone! Come on! Prince Yi and Princess Yi have launched! Hurry up and ask the Imperial Doctor and the Stable Po! ”

Murong Lanzhou grabbed Du Hengshuang's hand and said loudly: "Don't!" I don't want to be born here! There are people here who want to harm me and the children, and I can't let them get away with it! ”

Du Hengshuang was taken aback, "Who?" Who would be so wolf-hearted and want to harm the princess and an unborn child?! ”

Murong Lanzhou cried bitterly, holding his stomach and lying on the ground, crying repeatedly, "Lord Wang! I want to see the prince! ”

Du Hengshuang was in a hurry, how to send a letter to Prince Yi?

In the midst of the chaos, Du Hengshuang had already caught a glimpse of a gray-clothed figure outside the Liangyi Hall running towards the Taiji Palace, and only then did he understand that Murong Lanzhou should have discussed it with Prince Yi a long time ago, if he couldn't get out on time, he would make a fuss and suppress those who had ghosts in his heart, and at the same time, someone would go to report the news.

There are many things in the palace that can be done, but they can't be said. Once you say it, no one dares to do it.

Murong Lanzhou is also a last resort. If she recited the Spring Sacrifice and waited for those people to pretend to go through the whole process of the Spring Sacrifice Ceremony, her fetus would probably end up here.

Weighing back and forth, although the crime of disrupting the spring festival is not small, but Emperor Yongchang is the most protective of his shortcomings, and it concerns his own sons and grandsons, and the punishment will definitely not be very heavy, at most the punishment will be fine.

Anyway, Prince Yi's Mansion doesn't refer to Prince Yi's Yulu to eat, there is no shortage of this bit of silver, and they don't take it to heart.

Wan Guifei heard Murong Lanzhou's shout above, turned around in disbelief, and saw Murong Lanzhou and Du Hengshuang screaming in the hall below, and said sharply: "Disturb the Spring Festival, shake the fortune of the country, and the crime should be punished!" - Someone! Drag the two of them down and behead them for this palace! ”
