The female dependents entered the palace to go to Chaofeng Gate, and many people had gathered at the gate of Chaofeng Gate at this time, all of whom were the families of officials above the fourth grade in Beijing.

The palace gate has not yet opened, there are forbidden troops guarding it, and there are also eunuchs and palace maids in the palace pinching the hour and waiting to check the banquet post.

The carriage was not allowed to stop too close, and people got off the carriage from a distance, and then walked to Chaofeng Gate.

When the first emperor was there, the palace banquet in the Northern Qi Dynasty was not common, except for the New Year palace banquet, that is, the Yuexi palace banquet, so people attached great importance to the opportunity to enter the palace and the banquet.

The ladies were relatively quiet, and even when they spoke, they were very quiet, until the girls were more lively, and they spoke louder, and sometimes there was a coquettish laughter.

The little girls in Beijing are usually divided into several factions, one faction is not out of the door on weekdays, not only do they know few people, but they are not very talkative, so even if they come to the palace banquet with their families, most of them are standing with their mothers, just watching, and don't say a word.

There is also a faction that likes to follow Miss Ye Si in the past, because Miss Ye Si is the most beloved granddaughter of the old general Ye Zhenwei, plus Ye Wenyan is cheerful and lively, and has a wide range of friends, so many official ladies are willing to play with her.

Of course, there are two kinds of playing together, one is a close friend like Jiang Wanting, and the other is that the adults in the family have instructed them to contact Wenyan more at night, aiming at the military prestige of the old general and the general.

In addition to these two factions, there is also a faction that follows the Li family.

The Li family is not an official family, but because it is Li Xiaohan's mother, they will be invited to a palace banquet every time.

The Li family is now dominated by Li Zhiyuan, the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Li, Li Zhiyuan has a daughter and two concubines under his knees, and Mrs. Tao is committed to cultivating her daughter Li Yanran, so every year the palace banquet will bring Li Yanran into the palace together, which has also cultivated a group of followers and supporters for Li Yanran. And these followers and supporters are all interested in the Sixth Highness at home, and want to protect the Sixth Highness to succeed to the emperor's throne.

Speaking of which, in the past, there were many people around Miss Yesi, although everyone called her a witch, and they all resisted her beautiful appearance, but because the Yejia family was in military power, all the officials understood the truth that military power was greater than everything, and even if the Sixth Highness succeeded to the throne in the future, the Night Family would not fall, not to mention that His Royal Highness and Miss Yesi still had a marriage contract.

Therefore, the girls gritted their teeth and had to be close to the night Wenyan.

But that's in the past, now that the two generals of the Ye family are dead, and the military power is back in the hands of the royal family, Miss Ye Si and His Royal Highness the Sixth are gone. When Empress Li became the queen mother, although she no longer had a son, she had a regent who had a very good relationship with Empress Li.

So people began to wait and see, and as a result, they found that at this year's palace banquet, Miss Li not only dressed up to attend, but also refused the invitation of the Empress Dowager Li to let her enter the palace first, saying that she should abide by the rules of the palace, and she could not be special because her aunt was the queen mother, after all, there were two queen mothers in the palace, and this would make another queen mother embarrassed.

When he said this, many people heard it, and when people heard this, they didn't understand what it meant, why the people of the Li family of the mother family would say such things to refute the kindness of the Empress Dowager Li. But the people who can come to the palace banquet are not stupid, they didn't understand it at first, but gradually they figured out the truth.

Looking at Li Yanran's dress today, it not only matches the royal funeral Su Jing, but also loses the elegance of the concubine of the big family. The corners and cuffs of the skirt are also orange, some say it is the favorite color of the new emperor.

Li Yanran was originally a great beauty, although she was not as beautiful as Ye Wenyan, but she had an innate temperament, which was very similar to her aunt Empress Dowager Li.

Some people remember a rumor many years ago, it is rumored that the ancestors of the Li family have accumulated virtue, and the daughters who are in the position of concubines can become the queen of the main palace, all because of the unique feng shui of the Li family. And some people have calculated that in the past 50 years, there will be more than one queen in the Li family, and in addition to Li Xiaohan, there will inevitably be another queen who will stand out.

This matter seemed very contradictory in the past, because with Empress Li, the next emperor would be her son His Royal Highness the Sixth. But His Royal Highness the Sixth and the Li family are aunts and uncles, and they can't intermarry, so how can the Li family still have a queen? Unless the Li family has a daughter to squeeze out Li Xiaohan's position, then they can become the second queen.

Li Xiaohan also prepared for this, she looked at the Li family for many years, and finally her eyes fell on Li Yanran. In her opinion, if the Li family can produce another queen, it must be her excellent niece.

So she also thought of countermeasures to suppress it, such as letting Li Yanran go to make peace.

Yes, Li Yanran was once selected by Empress Dowager Li to return to the Moon Kingdom and her relatives, and the one selected was the new monarch who had newly ascended the throne and had not yet married. For this reason, she also said that the Li family was moved, saying that as long as Li Yanran became the queen, Guiyue Kingdom would be in the hands of the Li family.

The Li family has begun preparations for this, and has been preparing since the day Guiyue Proton returned to China for the funeral.

But I never expected that immediately after the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty died, and then, the Sixth Highness was useless, and then, the Seventh Highness became the new emperor.

This series of changes made the Li family begin to waver, instead of going away, why not choose the one who is close in front of you?

The smart man immediately figured out this truth and knew that this was another way for the Li family to take. So Li Yanran refused her aunt's invitation, and bluntly said that she had to save face for the Empress Dowager Yu of the East Palace.

As a result, the pattern between these girls in Beijing has also changed, and some people no longer choose to stand in line with Miss Yesi, nor do they choose to stand in line with Miss Li for the time being, they stay on the sidelines, because they can't see the trend of the court situation clearly.

There are also some people who are more impulsive, they think that Miss Yesi's life and death are unknown now, and they also think that even if life and death are clear, based on the rumors on the street these days, Miss Yesi is probably going to be involved with His Royal Highness the Dust King. And His Royal Highness the Dust King has no future, so Miss Yesi is almost a waste move.

However, Miss Li is not, if Empress Dowager Li has no hope for her son, she will protect her niece from ascending to the throne, and now the regent who is obviously biased towards Empress Dowager Li, Li Yanran is very likely to go to the end.

So these people chose to follow Li Yanran, and even many people who used to play well with Ye Wenyan began to favor Li Yanran without care.

At the moment, Ye Wenyan is naturally not there, but Jiang Wanting is still there. Seeing those good sisters who usually talk about their hearts and lungs leaving her one by one and standing with Li Yanran, she couldn't get angry.

"The grass on both sides of the wall is down, and it is not good to fall back and forth on both sides!" Jiang Wanting's mouth is also unforgiving, and if she opens her mouth, she will come as soon as she opens her mouth, and she is never a brain.

Most of the girls who were scolded lowered their heads, and they also felt that they were not doing this very authentically, they felt very embarrassed, but they didn't want to correct it, so they simply lowered their heads and ignored Jiang Wanting.

But there are also a small number of people who feel that they are right, so they replied: "Jiang Wanting, you don't have to say cool things there, who we want to play with is our own choice, and you are not our father and mother, what qualifications do you have to make decisions for us?" Besides, it was rumored outside that Ye Wenyan was lost, and now I don't know if I live or die, could it be that we don't make new friends in this life in order to wait for her to come back? How can this be true? Also, Jiang Wanting, you just relied on Ye Wenyan to get angry, what are you without Ye Wenyan? ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Jiang, Lan Meiyu, who had been standing on the side, stopped first, and looked at the family of the young lady who spoke: "It's Mrs. Fushang, right?" I don't know which province you belong to, but I think you know which province we belong to. It's the first time I've heard in Lin'an City that someone doesn't take the Jiang family seriously. Ask what my daughter is? That's naturally what her father is, and she's everything. And what you are, it naturally depends on what kind of official position your family has. This lady, dare to ask what is the official position of the man in your family, and how many official titles are there? ”

Mrs. Jiang's temper is the same as Jiang Wanting's, and even more domineering than Jiang Wanting. Regardless of the reason, it is absolutely not okay for someone to dare to scold her child in front of her. Don't say that she is just a petty official, even if she is a first-class official, she should be scared. No matter what happens after that, you can't afford to lose at that time.

Of course, she will definitely not lose, because no one is stupid enough to fight the criminal department, not to mention that she is only a fourth-grade official.

Girls are not sensible and quick to speak for a while, and it is natural to think more about being a wife. So he hurriedly apologized to Mrs. Jiang: "The child's family is ignorant, Mrs. Jiang must not be as knowledgeable as her, I will definitely talk about her when I go back." After speaking, he also pulled his daughter, "Don't apologize to Mrs. Jiang soon." ”

Mrs. Jiang took a step back, "I can't do anything with me, and the apology should also be an apology to my daughter." And this lady, you don't have to turn around and scold me for being a big person and arguing with children, I am a warm-hearted person, and I am really afraid that your children will be raised crookedly if they continue to be raised like this. It didn't matter if she was crooked, it wouldn't be good if her father was implicated. ”

The young lady was anxious at that time: "Mrs. Jiang, don't be unforgiving, my mother has apologized to you, what else do you want?" My father should be an official, but he is afraid that your criminal department will do something. Can the criminal department still charge my father for a quarrel with his daughter's family? ”

Mrs. Jiang laughed, "Be an official frankly!" Go back and ask your father about this, and come back to me when you have asked. ”

The face of the lady who had apologized earlier became more and more ugly, and she pulled her daughter hard, and glared at her fiercely, until the young lady panicked in her heart, and only then did she realize that she had said the wrong thing.

Frank and? Who really dares to say that he is frank and open? Even if she really thought that her father was open, she understood something after seeing her mother's eyes, so she blushed and didn't dare to say anything further.

Jiang Wanting sneered, and Mrs. Jiang also sneered, and the scene was slightly embarrassing for a while......
