Chapter Twenty-Eight

In Jiashan Palace, Empress Dowager Qu looked at the belly pocket that had just been completed in her hand, revealing a look of amazement, but she was over forty years old but still slender and soft as a girl's jade fingers crossed the delicate embroidery, and pursed her lips: "...... Put it away. ”

The confidant palace man Ice Shadow couldn't bear to see it, and said in a low voice: "The maid is quietly sent to the Xuanqing Palace?" The real concubine won't say it. ”

"Now that the two imperial heirs are under the knees of the real concubine, Xuanqing Palace doesn't know how many people are looking at it." Empress Dowager Qu shook her head and said softly, "Forget it...... Anyway, it is impossible for two children to be without these. ”

Stasis said, "How can that be the same?" These are made by your own grandmother, one by one. ”

"My grandmother can't help them much, but I have nothing to do and talk to myself. Comfort. Empress Dowager Qu lowered her eyes slightly, and said lightly, "The real concubine is smart, those two children don't need to worry about the mourning family." It's just that Zhaoqing is really cute, and the mourning family can't be visited often, and there are some regrets in my heart. ”

"In two days it will be His Majesty's birthday." The Ice Shadow bit her lip, "Niangniang, why don't you do something for Your Majesty this year?" In the end, this is not the same as it used to be. Your Majesty no longer needs to look at the face of the person in the Spring Palace, so why should you back down again? You are the one who conceived and gave birth to Your Majesty in October! ”

Empress Dowager Qu said softly: "The mourning family knows that you are for the good of the mourning family, but you think that although the mourning family is His Majesty's biological mother, you can really raise him, and it is the Yuan family who has a deep love for his mother and son...... In addition to giving birth to him, the mourning family has never done anything for him. At this time, watching him go to shush and ask for warmth when he is in power, doesn't this make him annoyed? ”

After all, Chunjia has not yet reached the time to sit back and relax, the mountains of the previous dynasty have not been completely calmed, and the ups and downs of the harem are still brewing, and as a result, his biological mother is not at ease, what does he think?

"Don't say that again." Empress Dowager Qu folded her belly pocket carefully, and instructed without raising her head, "Put it up, the mourning family does this, and I don't want anyone to know, and I don't want to do anything with it, it's just to relieve myself of a little mood." ”

Having said that, she still asked, "This year's Halloween Festival will definitely not be as perfunctory as before...... Are they the real concubines? What charter to go? ”

Stasis said, "Actually, the real concubines are the ones who preside, but nominally the one in the Spring Palace. His Majesty the Emperor Shenzong used the statute at that time, and only slightly changed. ”

She hesitated, and didn't say that Jiashan Palace had not yet received a notice to let the Empress Dowager Qu attend at that time.

Although I think it's incredible that the Son of Heaven didn't invite his biological mother on his birthday, ...... Who knows what Chunjia and Empress Dowager Yuan think?

Empress Dowager Qu came from a humble background, and she was so cold that she became the queen mother, and so far she has not had a decent mother's family.

There is no sense of existence in the palace.

So even if she encounters injustice, no one will speak for her.

The Ice Shadow was deeply indignant at this, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only quietly divert the topic, lest the Empress Dowager Qu think of it and ask and make the Empress Dowager sad.

In this case, Yun Fenghuang not only asked the close attendant Qing to personally come to the door to inform the specific process of the Wanshou Festival banquet, but also gave extremely luxurious and exquisite dress jewelry for the Empress Dowager Qu, who has been dressed simply for many years, and the ice shadow was naturally overjoyed: "Thanks to the real concubine Niangniang!" My mother's mother is simple, and the dress and hairpin ring are never exquisite, if it is not for the real concubine Niangniang's thoughtfulness, the maids will be in a hurry for a while! ”

Moreover, in a hurry, it is not necessarily possible to prepare so completely.

Qingren smiled and said: "My mother just thinks that the Queen Mother has always been bitter, and Jiashan Palace is afraid that it will not prepare these vulgar things." It's just that Halloween is unusual after all, and I am afraid that the Queen Mother will be willing to wear brighter clothes but not take advantage of it, so I taught the Dress Bureau to prepare in advance...... The Queen Mother doesn't think my mother is trivial. ”

"It's true that Niangniang took pity on the real concubine at the beginning." The Ice Shadow sent the Qing people away, went to see the Empress Dowager Qu with her things, and said happily, "The real concubine in the palace probably remembers that you are the biological mother of Your Majesty!" ”

Everyone else has no conscience, and one by one they know how to flatter the Spring Palace!

Empress Dowager Qu flipped through it, but she didn't smile, and after thinking for a while, she asked her: "Go and inquire, over there in the Chunyu Palace, what is the color of the dress at the palace banquet, and what hairpin ring is it with?" ”

Seeing that Ice Shadow was surprised, she sighed, "It is true that only the true concubine in the palace remembers the mourning family, but what kind of sex does the real concubine have. Child? Even if she will be touched by the kindness of the mourning family to her in the past, she will definitely not make a move easily. Especially now His Majesty is not pretentious to the mourning family, lest he has not yet held great power, and this dispute between the queen mother, the loving mother, and the virgin will happen! ”

"In this case, how could a smart person like Concubine Zhen lend a helping hand to the mourning family?"

"If she just asked someone to send the news this time, it would be fine."

"But even the dresses and jewelry are ready...... Eighty percent is something else! ”

Empress Dowager Qu muttered, "The mourning family actually likes her a lot, and when I see her, I think of myself back then, of course, she is much more powerful than the mourning family...... If it was something else, the mourning family would have taken advantage of her. But this won't work at this time, it's too early, far from the time when the mourning family has a falling out with the Spring Palace...... Anyway, you go and inquire, if so...... The things sent by the real concubine can't be used by the mourning family! ”

Ice Shadow looked at the gorgeous and colorful dress, and then looked at the half-old and dull color skirt on the Empress Dowager Qu, hesitated unwillingly for a while, and then whispered, "Yes." ”

Jiashan Palace's actions were not concealed from Yun Fenglian, so she chuckled lightly and said to Qingren: "The Queen Mother of the Holy Mother is too underestimated in this palace, although the Queen Mother has always been picky about the Queen Mother, as for the good days of Your Majesty, the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother openly crossed the Queen Mother of Mother to add to Your Majesty's blockage?" ”

The hairpin ring of the dress does not collide with the Empress Dowager Yuan at all, and the color specifications are not out of line, and the Empress Dowager is originally the queen mother, and there is no restriction on the wearing of the hairpin ring, and even the matching sachet is deliberately selected to be a grade lower than the pattern material that the Empress Dowager Yuan is used to.

Otherwise, she didn't know that the Empress Dowager Qu was delicate, how could she send a set of Empress Dowager Qu basically couldn't wear the skirt to attend the birthday banquet?

Well......

As for that, how to block the Empress Dowager Yuan?

As soon as the time turned to the longevity banquet, because this time the banquet was cooked by the three concubines together, the Empress Dowager Yuan was eccentric, and directly asked Yun Fenghuan to be less busy, and if there was something to do, just let Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui handle it: "After all, they are not like you, and there are still two imperial heirs to take care of." ”

Yun Fenghuan smiled on his face, and he had a murderous intention in his heart, but he still had to endure his anger and thanksgiving, and really handed over most of the things to the second concubine to preside, even when the birthday banquet began, he could not enter with the Empress Dowager Yuan or Chunjia as before, and enjoy the attention of the public, but with the two imperial heirs who were still in his hands, he entered the table one step in advance, and waited for the Empress Dowager and the emperor to kneel down with the crowd when they arrived.

Although this is the first official banquet of the National Dynasty, the regulations are not very different from other palace banquets, and for the vast majority of participants, there is nothing new.

Therefore, even if the palace people spread the news that the holy car hugged the phoenix of the two queen mothers, everyone responded to the call, and many people were very familiar with the action.

However......

When the two queen mothers were the first to enter the palace, everyone was distracted.

Walking in the front of the mother, of course, the queen mother, the queen mother, who was often ignored in the harem, was two steps behind her, but at this moment, everyone in the palace subconsciously ignored the queen mother, will

The eyes fell on the Queen Mother.

It's not because the Queen Mother is a rare bright dress today, but because ...... Our Lady Queen Mother was originally an extremely rare beauty.

It's just that he has been deliberately low-key before, and he dresses up as much as possible to hide his existence, so although many important ministers can meet several times a year at various ceremonial palace banquets, they all subconsciously do not leave a deep impression.

But right now, she is wearing a red gold silk phoenix crown on her head, a green silk in a bun like a stacked cloud, wearing a red bottom pinched gold silk secretly embroidered with a crocivia grape pattern Zhai clothes, a waist with mutton fat jade inlaid eight treasures carved crane deer with spring wide belt, red gold and jade Ruyi carved Rui cloud pattern seven things, double hanging bean green flower palace silk silk system mutton fat jade koi Ganoderma lucidum jade pendant.

The outfit is luxurious, and the face is more like jade.

Only a thin amount of fat powder tapped his lips, but his starry eyes were like electricity, his face was full of spring, and he slowly said that he would be overshadowed by the mother and queen mother who took two steps forward, even if she was compared with the concubines who were in the prime of their youth in the palace, they also had a unique style and demeanor, and they did not fall behind at all!

Although the people who were able to sit in the hall and participate in the birthday banquet at this moment were very people, after a little panic, they returned to normal, bowing their heads according to the rules, and did not dare to look directly at the face of the Queen Mother, but the strange atmosphere had already spread.

Even after the emperor sat down on the top of the two queen mothers, he ordered everyone to return to their seats and say some gossip to show that they were approachable, Yun Fenghuang was idly peeling pine nuts, and he heard the whispers of several young concubines from the next head: "The Queen Mother is so colored!" Counting her age, she is already ......"

"Your Majesty is strange, and his appearance is magnificent."

"Isn't it? Well, it's a good thing that this one doesn't have a niece who is in her prime. Otherwise......"

Of course, today's theme is Chunjia's birthday, and this kind of discussion is only a few words, and the main reason is that he is afraid of being heard, in case he goes to the Empress Dowager Yuan, it will be terrible.

Yun Fenghuang didn't look at which concubines were saying this, hooked his lips slightly, put the peeled pine nuts on a silver plate, and asked someone to send them to Chunjia.

Chunjia quickly returned the two plates of melons and fruits, and asked the little waiter to pass a message to her: "The wine later, Your Majesty asks the lady to use less, that one says that it tastes good, and it is cool." ”

"Tell Your Majesty, this palace listens to him, at most take a small sip." Yun Fenghuang smiled and grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds for him, "Please also ask Your Majesty to use less, so as not to hurt your body." ”

They came and went here, and soon attracted the attention of the Empress Dowager Yuan, who directly ordered someone to give Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui four plates of melons and fruits.

Chunjia frowned slightly when she saw this, but she listened to the Empress Dowager Qu remind softly: "Sister, there is also the real concubine, this time she is not less worried." ”

"Isn't there already a royal reward for the real concubine?" Empress Dowager Yuan didn't look at her, only smiled faintly, "The mourning family is also afraid that Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui will be wronged...... How big is it, the real concubine didn't say anything, and it is worth your attention? ”

She had something to say, and Empress Dowager Qu pursed her mouth and immediately stopped saying anything.

Chunjia hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, it was the child who didn't think about it, and when she saw that Concubine Zhen specially peeled the pine nuts for the child, she returned the two plates easily, but she forgot Concubine Xuan. Thanks to the queen mother's help! ”

Empress Dowager Yuan gave him face, and only said gently: "The third concubine has been quite busy for a few days today, even if the real concubine is particularly flattering, the emperor still has to serve a bowl of water, don't cold the heart of an honest person." ”

Chunjia nodded yes, and her attitude was very upright...... Empress Dowager Yuan then stopped.

She thought that although Yun Fenghuang was bold and reckless, and dared to use Queen Qu to lose face to her, she also stopped there, and she didn't dare to go too far.

As a result, halfway through the palace banquet, a palace maid came up with a meal, and coincidentally, a pot of dishes with thick oil and red sauce was all turned over on her! 2k reading web
