The days passed very quickly, and it was the birthday of Concubine Wei in a blink of an eye.

The harem concubines are more expensive than their sons, and Zhao Gou became the emperor, so Wei's status will naturally rise, but the etiquette system is there, and Wei can't be the queen mother no matter how much he lives. Because Zhao Ji's real queen Zheng is still there, she is only fifty years old now, healthy and healthy, and it seems that she will live for another thirty or twenty years.

This is the Han system.

Thousands of years after the dynasties, when the emperor is a concubine ascended the throne, the mother and the biological mother are alive at the same time, and the mother can only be respected as the queen mother, and the biological mother is the imperial concubine. Only when the biological mother dies can she be posthumously crowned as the queen mother, so as to show her succession. Similarly, the emperor can only honor the surviving biological mother as the empress dowager only after the death of his mother-in-law.

This is the respect and humility under the feudal etiquette system, which is the so-called difference between the concubines and the concubines. Unless Zhao Gou is willing to make a big controversy over this matter, Wei Shi will really not be able to sit as the queen mother for the rest of his life.

Because Zhao Gou has limited time. It is precisely because of his limited time that he doesn't want to waste his limited time on such meaningless things.

But even so, Merriam-Webster's birthday was a big deal for both inside and outside the palace. The scene was a little overly polite, but no one in the government and the opposition would make Zhao Gou unhappy in this little thing.

According to the custom, a family banquet is to be held in the palace. For Zhao Gouyan, it is a matter of eating, but for the concubines in the palace, it is a big stage for competition.

It wasn't the first time Pan had attended such a banquet, but she was still a little nervous. Because recently, the fight between her and the Xing family has become more and more obvious.

But because of the isolation of Zhao Gou's harem and Zhao Ji's dependents, the latter has moved to Yanfu Palace.

During the reign of Huizong, he was very dissatisfied with the narrowness of the imperial palace garden, so he expanded and built it on a large scale. Yanfu Palace is located in the northwest of the entire imperial city, and it is convenient to expand, so it does things under the banner of 'Yanfu Palace'. Although its name is a palace, in fact, there are many halls, platforms, pavilions and pavilions, and it is a palace group that is more gorgeous than the imperial city. The scenery is strange and ingenious, and the poor are extremely victorious.

Song Huizong once wrote "Yanfu Palace Record" for this reason, it is the palace pavilion and pavilion, endless, digging the pond for the sea, leading the spring for the lake. Literary birds and strange beasts, in a variety of postures; Jiabao famous wood, strange rocks and rocks......

After the palace was built, Song Huizong spent most of his time in this palace.

After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he directly gave Yanfu Palace to Zhao Ji for placement. The concubines in the imperial city and Zhao Ji's concubines, those are two worlds.

Now that the two worlds are about to merge into one, Pan is a little worried that he will eat in front of Webster.

The reason is very simple, then Webster wants to make an appearance to the outside world to show that she is virtuous, and will never compete with the Queen Mother, and she will cut Pan a few more times.

Zhao Gou crooked on the couch, looked at Pan Shi for a long time, and then changed into his outfit, speechless for a long time.

As for being so cumbersome?

It's still a good man to dress up, and he wears a vermilion dress on weekdays, and no one can be picky.

Here, the maid came to comb Pan's hair again, and someone brought over a tray of hairpin ring jewelry for her to choose.

Zhao Gou looked at Pan's selection of jewelry, and laughed after half a sound.

"Official ......"

Pan Shi let out a coquettish sigh of dissatisfaction, and the steps on her head swayed, and the pearls took advantage of her favorite concubine's shelf. But no matter how shiny the pearl is, it can't cover the plain innocence of Pan's headdress.

Is it too vegetarian? White jade phoenix head, red gold lychee melon and head hairpin, white jade peacock-shaped hairpin, silver tassel peach blossom pearl step shake......

Compared with the gorgeous and dazzling style that Pan loved in the past, today's outfit is completely clear water cabbage.

And what is the purpose of this? Obviously, that is, so as not to overpower the queen and let Merriam-Webster catch a reprimand.

Zhao Gou hugged his thin waist, and saw that Pan's sleeves were slightly up, revealing a piece of crisp white forearm, slender, smooth and moving, and he wore a pair of gold-wrapped peacock jade bracelets, "This is also good-looking!" ”

I couldn't help but laugh twice. "Today is a family feast, and there is no need to dress up, so it is very good."

The entire court is under his control, and he knows better than Pan what will happen to today's banquet. Saying that, he looked at the jewelry in the tray indifferently, reached out and took a pair of plum blossom bamboo jade hairpins, gently inserted them between Pan's sideburns, and found a pair of jade rabbit medicine earrings and put them on for her, so it's good.

Pan didn't like this outfit from the bottom of his heart, but today's day doesn't allow her to be presumptuous.

Since Zhao Ji returned to Bianjing, Zhao Gou has been very respectful of him, and he has no fault with Wei. Pan only looked at Zhao Gou, so he had to show the posture of treating his mother-in-law to respect Webster.

"The hour is almost up, the slave family is going to wait in Kunning Palace, and the official family should also leave?"

"It's time to go."

Zhao Gou bowed his head, asked someone to wait, and returned to the Funing Palace. He and Xing have not yet come to the step of resentment, and the latter's rules and regulations are not as good as Zhao Gou's Funing Palace, right? Although Zhao Gou disagreed with this, this did not prevent him from respecting Xing. Because there is such a queen who pays attention to etiquette, there will be a lot less things in the court. At the same time, in the government and the opposition, Xing can also attract some attention for Zhao Gou.

Therefore, when going to Yanfu Palace later, Zhao Gou had to go to Kunning Palace to accompany the queen.

The palace banquet was absolutely lively, although Webster couldn't get the first seat, but he was also very happy when he looked at the pomp in front of him.

In addition to the palace concubines, there are also Zhao Gou's sons and daughters, and there are also close relatives in Beijing, as well as Zhao Ji's sons and daughters, as well as their respective spouses, just these are the lively bosses and a group of people.

The Song Dynasty already had stir-fried food, and the emergence of Zhao Gou promoted the development of the food industry in the Great Song Dynasty, and today's feast is definitely not bad. But how good is it? It is said to be a family banquet, but with the great god Zhao Gou sitting, who can eat as much? It's just a little meaningful.

After the feast, there were still troupes juggling in Yanfu Palace, but some people were able to retire. After Pan got the letter, he was the first to want to take the child away, but was stopped by Wei's aunt and only said that the concubine was invited.

Pan Shi chuckled in his heart, followed in, and saw that Wei Shi was talking to Empress Xing with a smile, holding the queen's son Zhao Ying in his hand, and Zhao Gou sitting next to him. Pan Shi looked at Zhao Gou and saw that his face was as heavy as water, and he was a little relieved, which was a courtesy.

Concubine Wei hurriedly asked someone to help Pan up, and beckoned the palace maid behind her to take a look at Zhao Xuan, this Zhao Xuan is the little Zhao Yang in history, looking at the white and tender grandson who was raised, she was very happy and praised two sentences. But he didn't hold Zhao Ying like he hugged and didn't let go, and after two sentences, he asked Pan to take his son and take a seat.

Zhao Gou looked at the trace of dissatisfaction that flashed on Pan's face, and there was no fluctuation in his heart. Wei Shi is not his mother, so he will not feel that Pan's dissatisfaction is offending his mother. Turning his head, he saw Wei Shi smiling at Empress Xing: "In the royal family, the most important thing is the heir." Now that the heirs in the palace are not prosperous, as the mother of the country, you can't be careless. ”

Empress Xing hurriedly smiled and said: "What the concubine said is that the sons and daughters are also worried about this matter, but they are just ......" It has been four years since Zhao Gou crossed over, but the emperor who is obviously in great health has never given birth to a third son, not even a child, and this matter has long been discussed by people all over the world. The situation was quite unfavorable for Zhao Gou. Because Zhao Gou obviously had a lot of children in the past, but now it is like this, so that the people don't know how many people scolded him for taking the position of brother and hurting Yin Virtue.

And the women in the harem are even more anxious.

Mothers value their sons, and if they don't have a son, even if they have a daughter, it's good. It's just that Zhao Gou is physically strong, and his ability between the beds is outstanding, but it is fruitless.

Seriously, the folk rumors Empress Xing also heard it, and she herself was a little worried.

Wei was even happier today, so he smiled at Zhao Gou and said, "Look, the queen is so reasonable!" You are also blessed to be able to obtain this virtuous age! ”

Then he said to Zhao Gou: "But the mourning family is really uneasy when they see that there are only two young children under you. Since none of the concubines in the palace are blessed, the emperor listened to the words of the mourning family and opened the selection of concubines? ”

Pan lowered his head and listened quietly, and he already had a bottom in his heart.
