The Ten Thousand Dynasties will be held soon, probably except for the Yilan Hall and the Jade Pavilion, the other palaces are starting to be lively, right?

Xia Yubing leaned boredly in front of the window, counting the veins on the orchid leaves.

"Little master, the concubine asks to see you." Ziyue reported outside the window.

Xia Yubing smiled, flicked the leaf lightly, and said in a relieved tone: "Please." ”

Lu Yezhen didn't even wear a veil today, so she came to her east side hall, Xia Yubing was surprised with some understanding: "Sister has figured it out?" ”

Lu Yezhen nodded: "I figured it out." "Whether she succeeds or fails, she will live according to her heart." Please ask my sister to make an appointment with Wei Meiren for me, I want to talk to her in person. ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today. You must know that Wei Meiren doesn't have enough time, she is waiting for her sister at any time! Xia Yubing took the incense burner borrowed from the Jade Pavilion and handed it to Lu Huizhen: "By the way, please ask my sister to return this 'thing to its original owner'." ”

Lu Yezhen pulled the corners of her mouth knowingly, this is an important evidence, so it is natural to keep it properly. She took the things she should bring and accompanied her to the Jade Pavilion to "visit the sick".

March 14, the sixteenth birthday of the eldest princess Ruiyi. On this day, Fengwu Palace was full of people and kept coming and going.

Even Wei Nan, who was lingering on the sickbed, barely cheered up and came to Fengwu Palace to send congratulatory gifts.

Because Duanxiang didn't want to see people, Feng Wu didn't have a birthday banquet. The concubines who gave gifts all sat down slightly, drank tea and left; The emperor only promised to come over to celebrate with his daughter at dinner.

Lu Yezhen made an appointment with Wei Nan, and took advantage of the last wave before dinner. When it was approaching, Daohe's people were almost gone, and they were deliberately late.

"The concubine meets the queen's mother, and the mother is blessed with Jin'an! I wish Princess Ruiyi a happy birthday, and may the princess have today every year! Lu and Wei knelt down together to congratulate.

"Hurry up. Concubine Zhen and Wei Meiren have a heart. As soon as Feng Wu raised her hand, Pu Jia personally helped Wei Nan get up. Both of you have not healed, and you have personally come to give gifts, and this palace is very pleased. ”

"On the important day of the eldest princess, how can the concubines not come to congratulate?" Lu Yezhen subconsciously helped the veil.

"What the concubine said is that the concubine is taken care of by the mother. The grace of knowing the encounter is difficult to repay without teeth! Wei Nan only stood for a while, and then he broke out in a sweat. Feng Wu hurriedly gave a seat.

"It's all here, it's time for dinner. I don't know when the emperor will be busy? Feng Wu instructed Miaoqing to set up a meal, and greeted the two by the way: "Since you have caught up, you can stay and eat together." You may not have seen the emperor for a long time, right? just took advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with the emperor. ”

Feng Wu is also kind-hearted, as the so-called meeting three points of love. If they are smart, they should take advantage of the day when everyone is happy today to curry favor with the emperor. Don't really make the emperor's affection cold!

"Thank you for your grace! The concubines follow the teachings of the mother. Lu and Wei glanced at each other, and their hearts were ecstatic. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so easily!

"The emperor has arrived—" Fang Da's familiar voice almost made Wei Nan cry. How long has it been since you've heard this voice? She doesn't even remember it herself.

"The concubines see the emperor." Led by Feng Wu, Lu Huizhen and Wei Nan followed behind him and came to the front of the palace to greet him.

"Hey, Concubine Zhen and Wei Meiren are also there?" Duan Yulin was quite surprised, why did the princess invite two unrelated concubines on her birthday?

"Yes, they're here to give a congratulatory gift. When the concubine saw that the time for dinner had come, she did not let them go. The emperor won't mind, right? Feng Wu is gentle and kind, Duan Yulin naturally won't lose the queen's face.

"It's fine. I've been busy preparing for the Ten Thousand Dynasty Meeting, and I've rarely had time to set foot in the harem lately. The queen invited two concubines at the same time, and it also saved me from running back and forth to see! Ha ha! Duan Yulin quipped.

"Look at what the emperor said? knew that the concubines had left all the concubines who came to congratulate them, so that the emperor could see the entire harem at once! Hehehe...... "Feng Wu is in a good mood, and it is rare to fight with the emperor."

"Queen, are you......" Duan Yulin shook his head helplessly, and simply ended the topic: "I'm a little hungry, let's eat." Then he took his seat.

"Miaoqing, invite the princess and the princess." Feng Wu asked Miaoqing to call Duanxiang and Maode for dinner.

According to the rules, Lu Yezhen and Wei Nan are not qualified to share the table with the emperor and queen, so another table is set up for the two of them at the main table. Since the emperor came in, their hearts have been uneasy, how can they calm down and eat at this time? My mind is full of how to open my mouth later, and bring up the matter of the imperial concubine?

Soon, Duan Yi and Mao De came to the dining room, and the two of them saluted the emperor and queen in a proper manner: "Erchen (Mao De) greets the father and queen mother (emperor and queen)!" ”

"Get up. All sit! Duan Yulin beckoned the children to sit down. Although King Jin is hateful, he is innocent. What's more, the emperor sat down beside Mao and asked curiously, "Why doesn't Mao De call me 'Imperial Grandfather'?" ”

Mao De cautiously glanced at Feng Wu, biting his lip and not daring to reply. Duanxiang next to him, not afraid of violating taboos, opened his mouth to remind: "Father, have you forgotten?" Mao De has now changed his surname to 'Feng', and he is the mother's nephew, not the grandson of his father! After finishing his words, he glanced at Maude sarcastically.

"Oh, I'm confused. Maude is no longer the emperor's grandson, he has become a nephew! No wonder his daughter was prickly in her words, and even he found it ironic. How could he have agreed to such a ridiculous suggestion in the first place?

"The people of the world are all the emperor's people. Although Mao De has changed his surname, he has the emperor's blood flowing in his bones. Why should the emperor mind a title? Feng Wu came forward at the right time, she glared at her ignorant daughter, and poured a full glass of wine for the emperor.

Feng Wu raised his glass: "Come, let's toast the emperor first!" Everyone responded, and a glass of warm wine was born.

"Today is my son Ruiyi's birthday, this second glass of wine should be honored to our little birthday star! Come! In the second round, Duan Yulin took the lead, and he drank all the drinks to celebrate his daughter's birthday.

In addition to Maude, the others also drank the cup. It's just that Duan Xiang, who was overwhelmed by alcohol, frowned slightly.

"Thank you for your grace. It's just that this wine is too spicy, and the retainers can't drink it anymore. Duan Xiang declined the next toast.

When he used to learn drama with Qi Qingwei, he said that drinking alcohol would irritate the throat, which was not good for the throat, and the voice he sang was not beautiful. So from then on, she didn't drink alcohol unless it was necessary. Even some spicy and stimulating foods are not eaten.

"Okay, I won't force you. It's still a little girl after all! Duan Yulin lovingly touched Duan Xiang's hair.

"Where is the little girl? It's been a year since I got married, and it's long past the age to talk about marriage! "Fengyi's Yingyu got married at the age of fourteen, but Duanxiang, the eldest sister, has not yet landed!

"Queen Mother!" Duan Xiang expressed her dissatisfaction with anger as if she didn't want to get married so soon!

"Don't worry, Ruiyi's marriage has my own plans. When this Wanchao meeting is over, let's discuss it again. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's eat vegetables. Duan Yulin ended the topic again.

After a lot of wine and food, it's time for the main show.

Duan Yulin exchanged a few words with his wife and daughter, and was about to leave. Lu Yezhen suddenly knelt down and stopped in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, please stay, the concubine has something important to report!" ”

Seeing this, Wei Nan also knelt down and complained: "The concubine also has something to say!" ”

Duan Yulin stopped, looked at them thoughtfully, and returned to his seat. He took a sip of his teacup, glanced at the queen and asked, "What's going on, queen?" ”

"The concubines don't know either." Feng Wu didn't lie this time, she really didn't know.

Feng Wu thought that these two people just wanted to regain the emperor's favor, so they deliberately came to keep the hour, so that they "happened" to meet the emperor? Could it be that she guessed wrong? They are not for grace, but for something else? Feng Wu intuitively felt that what was going on next was not trivial, and it seemed that she had a headache again.

"Alas! Take the princess and the princess down to rest. Feng Wu sighed and sat down beside the emperor helplessly.

"You two, if you have something to say, just say it. While I still have some patience. Duan Yulin's tone was obviously displeased, and the happy and peaceful atmosphere had long since disappeared. He'd like to see what they're going to do!

"Yes, the concubine said it!" Lu Yezhen nodded at Wei Nan, and said with a heart: "The concubine wants to sue the imperial concubine for harming the concubine, poisoning the imperial heir, and disregarding people's lives!" ”

"The concubine seconded the proposal!" Wei Nan bowed deeply and supported each other with Lu Huizhen.

"Presumptuous!" Duan Yulin waved his hand and swept away the cups and cups in front of him. These two women, are they crazy?

"You are responsible for what you say, if there is no evidence, then you are guilty of slandering the concubine! This palace is going to condemn you to the sin of great disrespect! Feng Wu was also slightly surprised, the two concubines who had fallen out of favor dared to rashly sue Xu Ying, they were bold enough!

But on closer thought, it makes sense. Anyway, one is disfigured and completely out of favor; A terminally ill man who didn't live for a few days. If it was really killed by Xu Ying, it was not impossible to fight to the death! However, what they did was stupid. With the status quo of their lack of power, power and favor, how easy is it to bring down Xu Ying? At most, it hurts its fur without moving its muscles and bones, and maybe gets into trouble afterwards!

"The concubine has evidence!" Lu Huizhen turned around and signaled, Ling Qiao and Qing Qian each touched the incense burner and fragments and stepped forward. Lu Yezhen presented the evidence and the appraisal results of the Tai Hospital together: "The emperor and queen, please take a look!" ”

"What is this?" Duan Yulin impatiently picked up the ivory basket and flicked the dirty-looking fragments; He knocked on the complete incense burner next to him.

"This is the incense burner in the Yilan Hall and the Jade Pavilion, and the concubine also accidentally broke the incense burner before discovering the secret inside!" Lu Yangzhen explained: "And there are such incense burners and incense tripods everywhere in the Yilan Palace! ”

"Secret?" Duan Yulin turned over and over again, but he didn't see any difference in this incense burner.

Feng Wu, who still looked at the test results first, found that something was wrong. She scraped the inner wall of the incense burner with a silver spoon, and sure enough, a layer of brown crumbs scraped off. She handed the result to Duan Yulin along with the spoon: "It seems that this incense burner does contain a lot of things!" ”
