Look back to the main hall.

At this moment, Concubine Yu is still in the confinement period, so she has not yet attended this banquet, but Jiang Guifei is dressed up and sitting under the queen, looking a little more dazzling than the queen.

Jiang Guifei looked at the queen's collapsed face, although she was also dissatisfied with Concubine Yu's affairs because of the mistake, but looking at the queen's appearance, she was really happy in her heart.

At present, his son is the crown prince, and even if Concubine Yu gives birth to the Nine Emperors, she is still a milk doll, and Ren Tingyou, who has already started a family, is naturally not the same, Ren Xilin wants to shake Ren Tingyou's position, it is not so easy.

But on the queen's side, it is completely different, she failed to get rid of Li Guiren, and let her directly become Concubine Yu, and there is a prince under her, the queen's step can be described as a great loss.

No wonder the queen has this expression, the smile on the emperor's face is not shallow, no matter how uncomfortable the queen is, she has to endure it at the moment.

At today's banquet, coincidentally, Cheng Rang was also there, sitting behind Prince Ning and the crown prince, and Ren Chenlin next to him was even more low-key.

Seeing Ren Chenlin, Jiang Guifei thought of his mother Yi Concubine at first sight.

It's really a coincidence, just after Concubine Yu gave birth to Ren Xilin, Concubine Yi contracted the wind cold and closed herself in the palace.

The queen and Concubine Jiang are not stupid, so they naturally understand that this is being put together by Yi Concubine, but it is Yi Concubine's temperament that hides needles in the cotton that is the most uncomfortable.

The two of them didn't even find a chance to start for half a month, and Concubine Yi still didn't come to today's banquet.

The current Yi Concubine, in the hearts of the two, is just a lackey attached to Concubine Yu.

What they have to deal with is Concubine Yu.

Seeing that Amo and the barbarians seemed to be quite popular with the emperor, a smile finally appeared on the queen's face.

The songs and dances of the music all rose, and the emperor seemed to be slightly guilty.

It's an early summer evening, so it's not hot, but it's not as cold as spring, and the weather is very comfortable.

Cheng Rang looked at Ren Qixiu, who was drinking silently at the banquet, it seemed that Ren Qixiu was not having a good time these days, and at this moment he had some intention of using wine to dispel his sorrows.

All the affairs to welcome the barbarians were handled by Ren Tingyou, and the emperor was very satisfied with this matter, and just praised Ren Tingyou in front of everyone.

As for Ren Qizhi's disappearance, it seems that everyone has acquiesced in the fact that he is dead.

The people sent by the emperor returned in vain, and no one could find him.

Naturally, Ren Qixiu was a little frustrated.

can look at Ren Tingyou, it is really very pleasant.

It was as if no one could stand in his way to the throne right now.

The queen is naturally the first to be unbearable, and what Cheng Rang and Xiaocha have to do may be to add fire to the queen.

The banquet ended as usual, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves and looked very harmonious.

It's just that at the end of the banquet, Amo made a request, but the atmosphere was slightly stagnant.

"My lord heard that the princess of your country is virtuous and generous, and hereby asks to marry." The barbarians are far away, and now the princess is the only child of the queen, so the emperor is naturally more cautious about her marriage.

At this moment, Ah Mo rashly opened his mouth like this, and the emperor was naturally a little jealous, but looking at the queen's face, he still had no decision at the moment.

Such a thing, even if it is the emperor, naturally he can't nod his head and agree, but he has to take care of the queen around him.

The queen didn't look like she was going to speak at the moment, the emperor was afraid of the development of the barbarians over the years, although everything was peaceful now, but at this moment he didn't want to make a big deal if things got bigger.

Mo didn't seem to be in a hurry at this time, but he still didn't continue the topic, covering everything up.

Soon, the news that the barbarians wanted to ask to marry Princess Nanzhou spread throughout the palace.

"Queen Mother, Erchen really doesn't want to marry a barbarian!" Princess Yan has been in the palace for seventeen years, she has been used to her brother Ren Tingyao since she was a child, her temperament is gentle, and she has no shelf, so that even after Ren Tingyao died, the people in the palace still respect her, not only because of the queen, but because of the loveliness of the princess, which is the key to conquering many palace people.

"No worries." The queen softly called out the daughter's nickname, which had not been mentioned for a long time, and gently stroked her hair.

I wanted her to have no worries in her life, but today, she had to push her into the fire by herself.

"Queen Mother, I beg you without worry!" At this moment, the princess of Sanssouci has half of the former high spirits, but she looks very pale, her hair is messy, her eyes are red and swollen, and her face is very hung all over her face, kneeling in front of the queen, crying and begging.

But the queen seemed to still have that expression, no waves, no joy or sorrow, and no speech.

Poor and carefree, until now, I still haven't been able to see that everything is just a scene that the queen has arranged a long time ago.

She just couldn't figure out how her mother, who had always loved her, could still be unmoved when she saw that she was about to suffer, and even so indifferent to herself.

After the two elder brothers passed away, Wuwu knew that she was the only child of the queen, and her future wish was only to marry the son of an official eunuch, so that she could stay in Qianyang City in the future and accompany the queen more, but the queen wanted to push herself away.

At this time, I realized that it was not that the queen could not do without herself, but that she could not do without the queen.

"Queen Mother!" Worry-free can do nothing at the moment except such begging.

But the queen actually gave her subordinates a look.

"Princess, it's time for you to rest." It was late at night, and after hearing the news, she rushed to the queen's palace desperately, and on the way back from the banquet, the queen knew that there was such a scene, but she needed the help of the barbarians so much that she had to sacrifice the needy.

Although she has been doing psychological construction for a long time, when Wuwu really cried in front of her, the queen was still very uncomfortable.

But I had to stop looking at her.

In her own future compared to her daughter's life, the queen chose the former.

No matter how troublesome Wuwu was, the palace people didn't dare to make things bigger, so they had to go back to the dormitory with Wuwu.

She still has the last glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that tomorrow, the queen will regret it, and she may still have a glimmer of life at that time.

Besides, now that my father has not agreed, maybe everything is not as bad as imagined.

But what Wuwu didn't know was that the emperor was just waiting for the queen's intentions now, and no matter what reason the queen agreed to, Wuwu couldn't escape the fate of going to make peace.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless.

Concubine Jiang returned to the palace, and Ren Tingyou followed her footsteps and walked in.

"What do you think of today's events?" Jiang Guifei said to Ren Tingyou.

Naturally, what she was referring to was not the so-called barbarians' respect for Nanzhou, but the barbarians' sudden request for marriage was a bit surprising, and the spearhead was directed at the queen, and even Jiang Guifei felt that there was no one behind them to help them.

"I can't say it's weird there, I always feel like there's someone behind me." Ren Tingyou frowned and thought carefully.

"The queen's side, isn't it just right to fold the two of you?" Jiang Guifei looked a little happy.

Ren Tingyou didn't speak, he still felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but remind Jiang Guifei:

"It's just a princess, it may not be anything to the queen, and the most important thing to pay attention to at the moment is Prince Ning." Cheng Zhan's matter, in the end, still made Ren Tingyou feel palpitations, speaking of which, about the sixteen months under the three princes, these days have been ignored by Ren Tingyou.

"Hmm." Speaking of this, Concubine Jiang was also uneasy, and nodded.

On the other side, Xiaocha met an unexpected person.

"Sister Shuyin!" At present, a banquet is being held in the main hall, and everyone who has some heads and faces has arrived, and the palace people are naturally heading towards a honeycomb over there, and in the harem, it seems a little depressed.

"He Xingzhu" could also be a noble person who could appear there, but now she is just a little palace maid, so she will naturally be a little sad, even if she disappears today, others know why, and because the queen looks at her differently, yes, the grandmother who stayed in the palace also turned a blind eye.

Instead, it gives Xiaocha a more free space.

Looking at the cardinal voice dressed as Ren Tingyou's entourage in front of him, Xiaocha shouted in a low voice excitedly.

Entering the palace today, it was Shuyin who begged Ren Qixiu to bring her with her, the master of Ren Qixiu's side, Shuyin is naturally one of the best, since Shuyin opened his mouth, Ren Qixiu naturally will not refuse.

Under the pretext of probing, the cardinal voice walked out of the main hall very easily.

Sixteen Luyue naturally has a bit of brush, and it is natural to find out where Xiaocha is now, and the location of "He Xingzhu" is very easy to find.

Looking at Xiao Cha's eyes looking at him, as if he was the same as before, Shuyin was a little unsure of what he was thinking.

But in the end, the cardinal voice still asked.

"Xiaocha, how did you know about Du Ruo?" While Shuyin said this, he thought about what Xiao Cha had done this year, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, it seemed that Xiao Cha really hadn't had contact with Sixteen Luyue for a long time.

"Sister Shuyin, are you suspicious of me?" Xiao Cha still had a sweet smile on her face, but what was revealed in her tone was not as weak as before.

Shuyin sighed in her heart, it seems that she really knows very little about Xiaocha.

In fact, I don't know much about it, to be precise, the pivotal sound has not been led by Xiaocha's nose.

"Xiaocha, you know the rules of the Sixteenth Moon." The tone of the pivotal voice suddenly brought the cold of the season, and the atmosphere between the two seemed to drop to the freezing point.

"I know." Xiaocha still had a smile on her face at the moment, but what she said still made Shuyin unacceptable.

"But didn't this matter bring benefits to Sixteen Luyue." Xiao Cha tilted her head, making the pivot seem to see the purest Xiao Cha in her eyes again.

"Sister Shuyin, I won't hurt Sixteen Luyue." Xiaocha said solemnly to the cardinal, but the tone seemed a little gloomy in the night when there were only two of them.

At this moment, Shuyin believed this, she looked at Xiao Cha's eyes, this was the last chance she gave Xiao Cha and gave herself.

"I'm in the palace, can't I just be the inner response of the sixteenth moon." Xiao Cha winked at the pivot, his eyes were full of playfulness, and the pivot was a little afraid to respond.
