On the first day of the first month, the crown of the Son of Heaven is complete, and he rises to the great court and is congratulated by hundreds of officials.

After that, the monarchs and ministers each worshiped their ancestors.

In the afternoon, I returned to the harem, went to the Spring Palace, and met with the Empress Dowager Yuan, and the Empress Dowager Qu and the princess and princess of the county also gathered here to wait for a long time, and congratulated the New Year of the Son of Heaven together.

Chun Jiacai returned from the Taimiao, still wearing a grand gown, looking not as elegant and gentle as Suri, majestic and solemn.

Sitting on the side of the two queen mothers, her eyes swept over the inner woman who was kneeling three times and knocking nine times, and saw that it was Queen Ji, who was still sick, and frowned slightly.

After the salute, he said gently: "The first day of the first lunar month is auspicious, and the queen is much better, and she can get up, I am very relieved." ”

Empress Ji looked a lot thinner.

In fact, since the Ji family lost power, the queen has lost weight all the way.

Before, Ji Lingzi was a body that did not need to be increased or decreased, but now the original plump cheeks are clearly sunken, looking not as bright and glamorous as before, and his bearing has lost his noble and noble, even if he wears a large makeup and a phoenix crown, he can't support the momentum of the lord of the six palaces, and he looks a little weak.

It's just that the eyebrows are quite calm, and I don't see whether the weakness and resentment are raised since childhood, and everyone has raised their heads slightly on the seat, and they are a little inadequate: "The concubine body asks Your Majesty to forgive her sins, although the concubine body feels better, but she is still in poor spirits." However, the concubine has been bedridden these days, and she neglected to give the two queen mothers and His Majesty a gift, and her heart was uneasy. ”

looked at the cloud wind fence at the bottom of the head, there was no emotion in his eyes, but his face was calm and calm, "The palace banquet will be held later, but I still have to worry about the real concubine." ”

"Niangniang is serious, and it is a blessing for a concubine to be able to share her worries." Yun Fenghuan had a humble attitude, lowered his eyes and said, "The queen mother has her own natural appearance, and she can get up today, and she will be fine in two days." ”

"That's what Concubine Zhen said." Since the queen was very interested, she just came to ask for a good time, and she didn't plan to appear at the banquet, Chunjia's originally slightly frowning eyebrows were stretched, and she changed her tone of concern and said, "Although the queen can get up and walk around, she has lost so much weight this time, and she still has to be good at life." ”

Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Dowager Qu also said something to let Empress Ji take care of her body, Empress Ji agreed one by one, and greeted cautiously, and without waiting for them to evict the guests, she got up and retired.

Looking at Queen Ji, who was helped out by the waiter, the mother and son of the heavenly family continued to talk and laugh, and the new concubines such as Yun Fenghuang and Wei Hengyan also immediately participated as if they were nothing, making the Queen Mother laugh from time to time, such as Gu Zhen and other old people, but they were not without the shock of having cold lips and teeth.

The Son of Heaven has made his wives like this, is their downfall far away?

So the next bustle in the main hall was almost all supported by Yun Fenghuang and Wei Hengyan.

Empress Dowager Yuan, so before the banquet, when everyone dispersed and went back to change the robes for the banquet, she sighed with the Empress Dowager Qu: "There are really fewer high-ranking commissions in the palace...... If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Zhen and Wei Zhaorong were both lively, just now, there would be no New Year's Festival atmosphere at all. ”

"That's what my sister said." Empress Dowager Qu is the last of the three queen mothers, and she doesn't dare to show off when she dresses up, lest she accidentally cross the first two, especially her beauty, and the possibility of being in the limelight is even higher if she is not careful.

Under such a big festival, he is just wearing a crimson bottom Sihe Ruyi Rui cloud pattern brocade robe, and a very simple phoenix crown is worn on the bun, and the beads in the phoenix's mouth are all second-class.

Rao is like this, it is still difficult to hide the amorous feelings, she lowered her head slightly, and said softly, "I also ask my sister to plan for the Son of Heaven." ”

Empress Dowager Yuan said: "I can only wait for the beginning of the year to understand something."

It's a newcomer. When the time comes, you will also slap the emperor's eyes together. ”

They gossiped here for a while, but Yun Fenghuang didn't dare to slack off, went back to the Huanhua Palace to change her dress, and first sent Xie Hengyu and Chen Zhu and other left and right arms to the Duanju Palace for the banquet, and then went out with the hour, and took Wei Hengyan, who had also been pinched for the hour, to the Spring Palace to welcome the Queen Mother.

This move is not only to show respect for the two queen mothers, but also because accompanying the two queen mothers to the table can convey that she is in the harem and is supported by the two queen mothers.

And so it came to the feast...... There was nothing to say about the palace banquet on this day, and it was generally dull and smooth.

Only after three rounds of drinking, the banquet gradually became lively, and a high-status foreign wife came forward to toast the two queen mothers, followed by one or two young girls with bright dresses.

The two sides exchanged a few words, and the Empress Dowager Yuan suddenly beckoned Yun Fenghuang to come over, and asked her with a smile if the girl she was carrying was good?

Yun Feng Huangzi looked at it carefully, they all seemed to be good looking and calm with his age, and his appearance was not the kind of Yuan Neem that could be solved lightly, of course, he was praised by the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Yuan smiled and said to the elderly lady: "Concubine Zhen has always had a vicious eye, she said yes, of course she is a good child, you don't have to be humble." ”

Similar plots have been staged several times, and Yun Fenghuang almost understands that the people who let her say are her next new sisters.

"Do you blame the mourners?" After the banquet was over, Chunjia was sent away to rest because she drank too much, and she sent the two queen mothers back to their respective bedrooms.

This order is, of course, Empress Dowager Yuan first, followed by Empress Dowager Qu.

On the way out of the Chunyu Palace to the Jiashan Palace, the Empress Dowager Qu, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

After Yun Fenghuang was slightly stunned, he was surprised: "Why did the Queen Mother say this? ”

"It's a matter of entering a newcomer after the New Year." Empress Dowager Qu sighed, "You have always been a smart child, you should know that this newcomer is different." The mourners have known about this for a long time, but they have never reminded you or spoken for you...... Do you blame the mourners? ”

"Niangniang already loves her concubine very much." Yun Fenghuan narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Besides, Your Majesty also has Your Majesty's difficulties, and the concubine understands it." ”

Empress Dowager Qu said lightly: "You are a good boy, but it's a pity, like the mourning family, you are from a lower background, otherwise you will ......"

She fell silent and said nothing.

Yun Fenghuang didn't say anything.

After leaving Jiashan Palace, Xie Hengyu, who was with him before, dared to speak: "Niangniang, Queen Mother Qu, she ......"

"Maybe it's a trap, maybe it's sympathy." Yun Fenghuang sighed, "But just two sentences, forget it after hearing it." ”

Anyway, the Empress Dowager Qu hasn't done anything until now, and she can't be offended.

For the rest, let's see.

Thinking of the few people I saw at today's banquet, of course it was not good to draw conclusions after a quick glance, but just looking at Ziyi's conversation, they were all cultivated by their respective families, and none of them showed recklessness and arrogance.

Such conditions, coupled with their family background, as well as the long-sleeved dancing of the elders who came to talk to the Queen Mother...... There's no one who isn't a fierce rival.

Yun Fenghuan was a little heavy, but he returned to the Huanhua Hall to see Chunjia, but he greeted him with a casual smile: "Your Majesty wasn't drunk just now?" Why didn't you go in and lie down? ”

"After drinking the decanting soup, it's much better." Chunjia drank a lot of wine toasted by his subordinates at today's banquet, and his amount of alcohol was just ordinary, although the wine at the palace banquet was not strong, and he couldn't help but be a little drunk if he drank too much.

Even if he drank the sobering soup, it was still slightly smoked at the moment, the crown had been removed, and he had changed into the usual clothes worn by Su Ri, his starry eyes were hazy, and the tails of his eyes were scarlet

Red, compared to the usual gentle and elegant, a little more uninhibited.

His voice was a little hoarse, and he glanced at Yun Fenghuan in front of him, and said in a low voice, "You just ate a lot of wine, and ask them to serve you a bowl." ”

Yun Fenghuang was also a little dizzy, nodded when he heard the words, asked Chi Cao to serve a bowl of sobering soup, and asked Chunjia while drinking: "Your Majesty, at today's banquet, didn't the concubine embarrass you?" ”

Chunjia chuckled and said, "These things, Concubine Ai is becoming more and more proficient. ”

So what's the use?

After the newcomer enters the palace, I don't know if the hard-earned experience of this palace will come in handy again?

Or is it like Empress Ji and others, who are asked to speak to newcomers?

Yun Fenghuan laughed at himself in his heart, and his face did not change: "After all, I don't dare to live up to Your Majesty, you must always work hard." ”

Chunjia seemed to be still drunk, her eyes closed slightly, but she didn't smile.

It was already late at this time, and it didn't take long for the palace people to wait for them to bathe and change their clothes.

It wasn't until they entered the inner room and the exhausted two lay down that Chunjia asked in a low voice, "Have you seen everyone?" ”

“…… I've seen it. Yun Fenghuang was about to fall asleep, and when he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the top of the tent, and asked slowly, "Your Majesty?" Has Your Majesty seen it too? ”

Chunjia said lightly: "No." ”

After a pause, he seemed to explain and said to himself, "This kind of thing, the Queen Mother has seen it with you." ”

Anyway, all I fancy is the family background behind them.

Yun Fenghuan heard the meaning of his words, but he hooked his lips silently.

Now that no one has seen it, she believes that the emperor is sincere.

But when people enter the palace, the sky lasts forever, does the Son of Heaven still think so, who knows?

…… The banquet passed peacefully, but the harem was not idle, because the heel was the birthday of Yunfeng Huang and the Empress Dowager Qu.

Yun Fenghuan's own birthday is easy to get, the queen mother, the three queen mothers and the emperor and queen are all there, and it is not her turn to celebrate with a little concubine.

However, a few tables of banquets were set up in Xuanqing Palace, Wei Hengyan was invited, and the palace concubines who had been waiting for Yi Xingen and others gathered together to eat and drink, eat and drink, and then listen to everyone's congratulations, send some rewards, and then receive the rewards of Empress Dowager Yuan, Empress Dowager Qu, Empress Chunjia and others.

In the middle, Shun Jieyu and others also sent congratulatory gifts, but Yun Fenghuan didn't pay attention to it personally, and only handed it over to Chicalyx to take care of.

It was the birthday of the Empress Dowager Qu, and she went to ask for some advice.

Chunjia didn't care very much, and said: "Queen Qu is happy and quiet, and she doesn't like to make trouble, just like before." ”

Yun Fenghuang said tentatively: "I don't know what kind of concubine she was like in the past, is it like the Empress Dowager of Loving Mother?" ”

"......" Chunjia was silent and said, "Of course not." ”

He said calmly, "Although when I ascended the throne, my mother and my biological mother were crowned queen mothers together, but the concubines are different. Concubine Ai should know that I was actually raised by the Queen Mother, and it is also said that she was born without raising her grace. Therefore, the birthdays of the two queen mothers naturally cannot be treated equally. ”

"Yes." Yun Fenghuang sighed in her heart, although she asked Xie Hengyu not to take Empress Dowager Qu's words seriously that night, she did not have any plans to support each other with the Empress Dowager of the Holy Mother, but judging from Chunjia's attitude, Empress Dowager Qu was really not the opponent of Empress Dowager Yuan.

In other words, after the newcomer entered the palace, she was really alone.

And unlike when he entered the palace, the forces of all parties were like dogs, and there were a lot of opportunities that could be used.

It's a tough battle.

On the way back to the harem after leaving the Taichu Palace, Yun Fenghuang thought silently, but it was impossible for her to admit defeat.
