Chapter 32: Going to the Feast

The emperor and the queen have not yet arrived, and the queen mother has not come, the atmosphere in the garden is naturally much more relaxed, this banquet is nominally set up by the queen mother for the prince, but the master of each palace is a drunkard who does not mean to drink, you can see the emperor, it is already a golden opportunity.

When women get together, they can often talk about topics that can be talked about together, and ladies are no exception, but fortunately, the emperor favors the queen alone, and the concubines have a unanimous crusade. What emperor and queen once traveled in which garden, the emperor personally wiped the sweat for the queen, what Jiangnan paid tribute to Yunhua snow satin, and was rewarded by the emperor with all the water to the queen and other Yunyun.

It's just that after all, no matter how you grit your teeth for so many years, you have long been used to it, this kind of day, a good mother can give birth to a son and a half daughter for the emperor, the mother is expensive by her son, and the future days can be regarded as a dependence, but the poor are those concubines who have no children, no daughters and no grace, the rich and noble life in the eyes of the world, presumably only you can experience the loneliness of the deep palace.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

As the eunuch's voice fell, the originally lively Jingyuan suddenly quieted down, and the palace concubines waited for the queen mother to be supported by the maidservant and slowly sat down.

The queen mother was not angry and arrogant, she glanced at the female dependents, and a bunch of people who were pressed by the black, none of them could enter the emperor's heart, and let that woman who had seen different thoughts win the favor of the saint for so many years!

"The concubine visits the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"

"Let's all get up." The queen mother's voice sounded, and her tone was gentle, presumably she also took pity on these women who couldn't get the favor of her husband, "This is a family banquet, you are also restrained, sit down." ”

Everyone thanked them and sat down, and the queen mother took the white jade Qinghe teacup handed by Wanyin, and held the tea lid in one hand to play with the tea leaves floating on the surface of the cup, and did not taste a sip for a long time. The queen mother didn't speak, and the concubines below didn't dare to breathe, this is the head of the palace, and even the emperor is extremely filial.

"Concubine Dan." The Queen Mother put the teacup back on the table and looked sideways at the beautiful woman in the lower head.

"The concubine is here." The beauty in the palace dress in smoky purple hurriedly got up, and saw that the queen mother needed to raise her hand before sitting back on the seat.

"Is the little prince okay?"

"Empress Dowager Lao is worried, everything is fine with the little prince of Fuqiong, and I have seen the wealth and strength of our Nanchen, and I have always said that the ghost Tibetan clan can't compare to it."

The Queen Mother pursed her lips: "Our Nanchen's hundreds of years of foundation is naturally not comparable to other countries. The little prince is a guest, we Nanchen can't lose the courtesy, if you have any needs, you can directly explain it to the Internal Affairs Office, don't slack off others. Fu glanced at everyone again and said, "I heard that the emperor coughed a few times this morning?" The Queen Mother said this to Wanyin, but her eyes did not leave the concubines below

"The emperor is diligent, but after all, he is flesh and blood, when will the government be done? I didn't have to get tired, that was what shook the country's foundation. You are all the emperor's women, and you have to share the emperor's worries more. ”

Everyone below lowered their heads to listen to the training, smiling bitterly in their hearts, they wanted to share their worries for the emperor, but they couldn't even see each other on weekdays, they just couldn't find anyone if they wanted to say two words of self-consideration.

"I heard that the emperor hasn't turned over the cards for two months in a row? Either stop at the queen's place, or in the Qiande Palace? Tell me, where have you gone all the energy to ask me for warmth on weekdays? If you can't keep the masters, you will blame the people's affection! ”

The Queen Mother was a little excited when she said this, and Wanyin hurriedly coughed twice on the side when she saw this, and the Queen Mother came back to her senses, only to find that she said this, which made the atmosphere tense, and then waved her hand:

"That's it, the mourning family didn't say this to annoy you, in short, be vigilant at all times, and give some of the energy used on the mourning family to the emperor, so that you can live comfortably in the harem."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived—the eldest princess has arrived—"

Before the eunuch's long voice fell, two figures walked slowly across the Yuehua Gate. The crown prince is dressed in a dark pattern flying dragon brocade suit, in the end, he is the future emperor, his majesty and bearing are incomparable to other princes, and he is a figure like the sun and the moon walking there.

Nuan Jin followed her brother's side, her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she was wearing a green and blue saro skirt that made her more and more incomprehensible.

This pair of brothers and sisters are really good, their father and mother are the dragons and phoenixes among people, and in their generation, the gold brought by the mother's womb is full of light wherever they go.

Although the queen mother doesn't treat the queen very well, she has no prejudice against this pair of grandchildren, after all, Nanchen's most noble blood flows, and there is no reason for the grievances of the previous generation to involve them.

"Is Xuan Ning here? Come, come to the mourning family, let the mourning family see, we enjoy the blessings here, and we don't have to make you tired. The queen mother smiled rarely, beckoning Xuan Ning to sit beside her.

Nuan Jin was left in place, pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, and bit his ear with Tao Tao beside him: "They are all the children of the father and the queen mother, and the difference in treatment is also bigger, how can a bowl of water be even!" ”

"Little ancestor, you are quiet, you are the prince, and the future of the country will belong to others, who are you? If you get married in the future, you have to take away part of the dowry, who can treat you there? ”

Nuan Jin was choked by Tao Tao's words, and was just about to refute it, but if you think about it, it is indeed reasonable, and a girl like them in the market is called a money-losing product. It's just that Tao Tao has been a little bold lately, no matter how he says that he is also the master, he talks about her like this, and he doesn't have to make her a little embarrassed.

"Princess, let's take a seat, you go to this pestle, no one has paid attention to you, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Nuan Jin was stunned, and before she could speak, she was pulled into her seat by Tao Tao.

Taking advantage of the fact that the emperor and queen have not yet arrived, everyone is still chatting in groups of three or five, perhaps because of the evening, the garden is not stuffy, and the exquisite design of the small bridge and flowing water makes the people here refreshed.

In a moment, Xuan Yue and Fuqiong Xiao Wang Ye also arrived, and the two asked the Queen Mother, and chatted with others next to their positions.

Xuanyue naturally saw Nuan Jin sitting in the banquet, so she blessed her from a distance and greeted her. Although Nuan Jin didn't want to see her, she was also determined to be a princess with a magnificent bearing.

She beat her spirits, hung a fake spring breeze smile on the corner of her lips, and slightly blessed herself as a return gift, and then the two chatted separately, and there was no longer any intersection.

As for the little prince Fu Qiong, Nuan Jin saw him, and also saw him asking for peace for herself, but because of the previous incident, her impression of Fu Qiong was very bad, she didn't even bother to pretend, rolled her eyes, and then bit her ears with Tao Tao, as for Fu Qiong, not only was she not angry, but she smiled with interest, but she didn't cause any other incidents.

Xuan Ning sat beside the Queen Mother, holding her old man's hand and asking for warmth, worrying that she couldn't sleep well for a while, and worrying that the Queen Mother was eating too little.

"Look at him like that, hypocritical, I really want to go up and scrape his ears!"

Tao Tao was fanning Nuan Jin on the side, and when he heard this, he paused slightly: "The Queen Mother is the grandmother of you and His Royal Highness the Prince, and if you don't want to see her old man, it doesn't mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to see her either." Taking a step back, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's thoughts about the Queen Mother are the same as yours, His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince, and he has to take care of the overall situation, and you can see the sky so loudly, is it not because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given you everything? ”

Nuan Jin put down the green jade teacup in his hand, and stared at Tao Tao in astonishment: "Are you going to study with my master?" ”

Tao Tao was looked at by her for a while: "You still don't allow the slave maid to make a little progress?" ”

"Nonsense, I won't know about the money ink in your stomach? I don't know a few words, when will I be able to say this great truth? Tell me, who told you this? ”

"Slave—"

"The emperor has arrived—the queen has arrived—"

When everyone heard this, they all stopped talking, and hurriedly straightened their clothes and knocked on the emperor and queen.

Nuan Jinzong was full of questions, and he had to shut down and turn around to say hello to the emperor and queen.

"Since it's a family feast, it's all detained, so let's get up."

The emperor's cold voice sounded above his head, and Nuan Jin thanked everyone and sat back in his seat.

There was a breeze that day, sweeping away a little bit of the summer heat, the long eyelashes of the warm brocade trembled slightly, and her cheeks were still red, she saw Cen Run standing beside the emperor, bowing his head slightly, and the dark blue dark striped brocade clothes lined him with more and more abundance.

The man raised his head slightly at the moment he turned around, and a pair of narrow phoenix eyes fell into Nuan Jin's eyes, just looking at each other for a short moment, she seemed to see Cen Run raise the corners of her lips, and it seemed that she was just dazzled, and when she saw it clearly, he was the gentle and elegant chief manager.
