"A few days ago, someone entered the Yuhai pearl to me, so today I will give this pearl to Miss Yu. You should be rewarded. According to the usual practice, Li Yiqian rewarded the leader, but she didn't say anything about letting Yu Rui enter the palace.

"Your Majesty." Yu Rui kowtowed respectfully.

Li Yingqin felt that Ding Xi kneeling there looked a little pitiful, it would be nothing if the imperial brother didn't call her out, but now that he called her out, wouldn't he have completely become Yu Rui's foil. The compassion in her heart made her open her mouth to ask for a reward for Ding Xi. "Queen Mother, Erchen also looks at Miss Ding's Jiang Yue very well, shouldn't she also give her some rewards? Since she was picked out by the royal brother alone, it shows that her talent is also very good, isn't the queen mother also a little embarrassed about who to choose? ”

Ding Xi naturally knew that Li Yingqin was relieving herself, and glanced at her gratefully. Although I know that my parents will not blame me, I will inevitably be made more difficult by the man when I discuss marriage in the future. But with the royal reward, it is different, not only will it not be difficult, but it will also be looked up to. Li Yingqin's words helped her eliminate this sorrow, and she was grateful in her heart.

The Queen Mother naturally knew what Li Yingqin was thinking, thought for a while and said, "Just give the lily of the valley jade pendant in the mourning family's treasury to Miss Ding, and it is also Qin'er who is in love with you." ”

"Courtiers, thank you Queen Mother, thank you Eldest Princess." Ding Xi heard the Queen Mother's words, and hurriedly thanked her, she knew that if it wasn't for Li Yingqin, she would not be able to be rewarded, so she not only thanked the Queen Mother, but also thanked her.

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, she didn't want to reward a courtier for no reason, but to save face for Li Yingqin. She has also reached the age of getting married, and she should be married when she comes back this time. I haven't walked around Beijing in these years, and everyone inside and outside the palace is not familiar with her, maybe there is a villain who feels that Qin'er is not favored and secretly disrespects her. Today's attitude must be clear to them, Qin'er is a person who can influence the decision of the current Queen Mother, who dares to offend her if she is not long-sighted?

"How old is Yu Rui? Can there be a match? The Queen Mother asked suddenly.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers are sixteen years old this year, and they have never been married." Yu Rui heard the Queen Mother ask like this, and then thought of the conventions about the birthday banquet, and knew what she wanted to do, so she lowered her head a little shyly after replying.

"Qian'er, the mourning family sees that there are really fewer people in your harem, this Yu Rui is a good one." The Queen Mother said meaningfully.

"What did the queen mother say, there was just a general election last year, how can there be fewer people?" Li Yiqian knew that the Queen Mother meant to let him include Yu Rui in the palace, but he really didn't want to add more people, the more people there were, the more trouble. And after the court is cleared, these people will be dealt with, and he will not let go of any of those who have hurt them. Those innocent people, he will give them a fee to let them out of the palace. In that case, why bother with her life!

"There are not many good people who were selected last year, and now they are seven or eight out of ten, and now if you don't take the opportunity of the birthday banquet to choose a few more to fill the harem, when will you stay? Now that you have few heirs, do you want to die in a hurry? The Queen Mother was a little excited when she said that, unfilial piety is the greatest, and now Li Yiqian is almost thirty years old, but there are only two princesses, how can this make her not in a hurry.

"Queen Mother, I'm still young, you don't have to ......" Li Yiqian was interrupted by the Queen Mother just halfway through his words.

"You're young! Are you thirty still young? Look at your brothers in the clan, which one is still like you? "The Queen Mother is already a little angry.

"The Queen Mother cares so much about the Chinese Emperor, which makes Gu very envious. Emperor Hua might as well follow the queen mother's meaning, such a delicate beauty, tsk. Just when Li Yiqian was thinking about how to persuade the Queen Mother, Nalan Song suddenly interjected, but he meant to help the Queen Mother, which made Li Yiqian a little irritable. He knew that he was sincere to Xin'er, and he still did it.

Li Yiqian didn't think his tone was anything, but the others frowned a little displeased, because Nalan Song's tone was too frivolous. But when I think of those rumors about him, I feel a little helpless. Sure enough, he is a prodigal, openly meddling in the affairs of other countries, and daring to look at an unmarried woman with such frivolous eyes.

Looking at Nalan Song, Li Yiqian suddenly sneered. "I heard that Prince Nalan meant that he liked this Yu Rui, and it just so happened that the prince also told me that he wanted to choose a woman with both ability and integrity to go back to be the crown princess in China, so it was better for me to be the master and give this Yu girl to the prince."

Nalan Song's face turned pale when he heard his words, and he hurriedly spoke: "Emperor Hua still doesn't joke, how can Lone rob Emperor Hua?" After saying that, he secretly glanced at someone. Seeing that she didn't care about herself, I felt a little sad in my heart.

Because of his words, Li Yiqian was staring at him, and naturally noticed his vague eyes. looked at him and found that it fell on her, although Li Yiqian was a little puzzled, but he didn't talk about him anymore. gave him a warning look and ignored him.

"Queen Mother, my mind is not on the harem now, so let's not delay the girl." Helpless, Li Yiqian could only come up with such an excuse.

"Don't think about that, Xin Zhaoyi can't serve you now that she is pregnant, so let's choose a few new people to serve you. It just so happens that a lot of bad luck has happened in the palace this year, so let's take it as Chong Chongxi. The Queen Mother said firmly.

Everyone in the hall heard the conversation between the Queen Mother and Li Yiqian, and their moods were different. Those who are not outstanding are naturally a little glad that they are not good enough, so as not to experience such an embarrassing scene. Ding Xi was originally a little annoyed because Yu Rui had won the title just now and embarrassed herself, until Li Yingqin helped her out of the siege, but now she is full of happiness like those people.

And Yu Rui suddenly came back to her senses from the joy of winning the championship just now, the queen mother proposed to let her enter the palace, but the emperor refused in front of so many people, what will she do in the future! So at this time, she could only pray in her heart for the emperor to change his mind.

"Queen Mother, don't force him if the imperial brother doesn't want you, it's not cost-effective to make the imperial brother unhappy at the birthday banquet for this little thing!" Li Yingqin guessed that Li Yiqian refused for the sake of Xin Zhaoyi, so he also helped to speak at this time. What's more, she really doesn't want the Queen Mother to be unhappy with Li Yiqian because of these trivial matters.

"You will help your imperial brother, forget about other things, this will not work today. It's about the royal heirs, and the mourning family can't let you do whatever you want. The Queen Mother said without hesitation.

Li Yingqin saw that her persuasion didn't work, so she could only shake her head at Li Yiqian. whispered to him: "Brother Huang, I know what you are thinking, but after all, today is your birthday banquet, and there are two countries to envoy here, so we can't deal with our family affairs in front of them." Or you can agree first, at most you don't spoil her, there is no shortage of silver in the palace. ”

After looking at the envoys of the two countries who were watching the show, and thinking about the resolute attitude of the Queen Mother, Li Yiqian could only compromise.

"It's up to the queen mother to decide." Li Yiqian smiled weakly at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's face also softened, looked at the two people who were still kneeling below, thought for a while and said, "Yu Rui will stay in the palace to serve the emperor in the future, as for Ding Xi...... If you don't have a match, stay there. ”

Ding Xi thought that he had no hope of entering the palace, but he didn't expect such a scene of twists and turns, and hurriedly thanked the Queen Mother: "The courtiers have never been married, and they are willing to stay and serve the emperor." ”

Yu Rui also hurriedly thanked her, this time she really thanked the Queen Mother, if it weren't for her, she might have become the biggest joke at today's palace banquet.

There are women like them in many families. Cultivating their talents from an early age, in order to send them to the palace as concubines, or to send them to the palace. Of course, those hereditary families don't bother to do this, especially the scholars, who have their own high status. Even if China valued military force over civility, they did not think of using this method to reverse the situation.

Now that the Queen Mother's decision has been agreed, it doesn't matter whether one or two are left. Li Yiqian's mind was no longer on this matter, he focused on Lin Yaxin's body, only to see that she didn't pay attention to these at all, just eating silently.

Wang Jinyun saw that everything was a foregone conclusion, so he made an arrangement: "Since the two sisters have entered the palace, let's sit in front." Bai Xue took her two younger sisters into a seat. ”

"Yes." Bai Xue beside her answered and walked down, leading the two of them to a table that had been vacated a long time ago. Originally, they knew that there might be new people entering the palace today, so they had already prepared a spare table, which now came in handy.

"Thank you, mother." After thanking Wang Jinyun, the two women followed Bai Xue.

"Congratulations to Emperor Hua for adding two more beauties to his side." Naransong didn't have any sincere Daoxi.

"In addition to congratulating Emperor Hua on his birthday this time, there is also a marriage between our two countries. Last time, Emperor Hua had already agreed to this matter, so it was better to make Emperor Hua happy today. It just so happened that the lonely imperial sister also came, Huaiyu, and she hadn't seen Emperor Hua yet. Gongsun Ce took the opportunity to say.

As soon as these words came out, Yu Rui and Ding Xi's faces instantly turned a little pale. As soon as they entered the palace, there was such a powerful opponent in front of them, and in terms of family background, they would definitely not be able to compare to her. And since she is a relative, then her status will not be low, but the two of them can only start from low-ranking concubines. lost as soon as she came up, and the rest of the days will definitely be suppressed by her.

And the expressions of the original people in the harem have also become a little ugly, the people of Lan Country are already more enchanting than the people of Huaguo, if they really let this county lord enter the palace, what future will they have?
