On July 10, the birthday of the old lady of the True Palace, Du, was celebrated as usual.

In the past, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old lady of the real palace was busy inside and out, but this year, when the new princess entered the palace, she immediately replaced the person in charge with the princess who had just started. Everyone was waiting to see the gossip about the discord between the Wang family and the real princess, and naturally they were very concerned, and the whole capital was talking about it.

As the saying goes, with the new, forget the old. Everyone is waiting to see if the real princess can make no mistakes, after all, this is the first time she has been in charge after marrying into the real palace, regardless of whether it is successful or not, just compared with the previous situation of the real palace, it is very topical.

Not to mention, in the early stage of the birthday banquet of the old lady of the True Palace, the third lady of the True Palace, who was not out of the cabinet, gave birth to a child, which is also a hot topic in the capital.

Those who received the invitation, in addition to coming to the birthday banquet, also wanted to see the liveliness of the real palace.

They are all mothers and daughters-in-law, and they can't go out often on weekdays, so they like to look at the gossip of this inner house.

On the birthday of the old lady of the True Palace, the True Palace's Mansion was very lively.

The doorway is a brass nail gate, and the main entrance and corner door are all open.

Guests come and go, shuttling like weaving, endless.

Song Yi brought a group of ladies from the True King's Mansion to greet guests at the door early.

Most of the women who came today were from various provinces, and they were naturally received by the hostess.

The old lady is the birthday star, so she handed over the whole matter to Song Yi. Song Yi naturally didn't dare to slack off, he had already rehearsed repeatedly, and even thought about what to say when he saw someone. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will recognize the wrong person, say the wrong thing, and laugh generously.

It is said that with Song Yi's character, she shouldn't be so nervous. But since he heard that the three imperial concubines were going to come to celebrate the old lady's birthday, Song Yi was a little uncomfortable.

In the past, the birthday of the old lady of the real palace was not so grand. Not to mention, it's just an old man's little birthday. But because of the relationship between the real princess, the Queen Mother had already sent a joint force to support Song Yi for the scene.

The queen's congratulatory gifts also followed, and the three imperial concubines naturally didn't dare not come.

Song Yi didn't expect that the first time he did such a thing, he could alarm so many people.

The Queen Mother has always doted on Song Yi, and Song Yi knows it. But she didn't expect that her old man would be able to do this for herself. Obviously, she didn't ask for it, but the Queen Mother still gave Song Yi support. Although people did not come, they still gave Song Yi enough dignity.

Song Yi was grateful to the Queen Mother in his heart, and he just waited for the finished work to thank the Queen Mother.

Because most of the people who came were female guests, Zhenwang, Zhu Yuanshan, Zhu Yuanchuan and other men did not come out. It's just entertaining male guests in the lobby outside.

Song Yi entertained the female dependents and did not dare to slack off.

"The real princess, she is really capable, not long after entering the door, the old lady handed over the matter of her birthday to you" It was the crown princess Gong Hanchu who spoke. Gong Hanchu is the cousin of the prince and the daughter of Prime Minister Gong Xiao.

"Crown Princess, you have praised it falsely. An Le is just a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, if there is inadequate hospitality today, please forgive the princess and all the ladies and young ladies."

"True princess, why be humble? Who doesn't know how the real king treats the princess? Even the bride price for marrying is more than that of the prince," it was the second princess Long Feiyan who spoke. Long Feiyan is the granddaughter of Long Tu, a scholar of the Imperial Court.

Long Feiyan was suspected of sowing discord when she opened her mouth, Song Yi felt that she had not offended the other party, but she still felt that Long Feiyan was not good.

Looking up, the three imperial concubines arrived almost at the same time. So, Song Yi hurriedly left the other guests and greeted the three imperial concubines.

"An Le, long time no see" The gentle whisper was the third princess Du Shuyin, who was still as if she had not been out of the cabinet in the past.

"Second Imperial Princess, what else do you care about? The real king and the princess Qin Se and Ming, who in the capital is not envious? Besides, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she is the emperor's righteous daughter, so the true king naturally has to pay attention to it. ”

Gong Hanchu didn't speak like Long Feiyan with a gun and a cannon, but he could still understand the outside words.

The three imperial concubines just appeared, and they came and went, which was very lively.

Song Yi felt that it must be a little difficult today. The Wang family and the Cao family next to them, looking at this vivid scene, snickered in their hearts.

Song Yi finally welcomed the three thrones in, and immediately met his old acquaintance, the county lord of Wencheng.

The county lord of Wencheng is still wearing a big red coat today, and he can see from afar that it seems to be a flame coming in.

"County Lord, are you here?" Song Yi stepped forward to greet him.

"What the princess said, can't the lord of this county come?" Wen Cheng is still hostile to Song Yi.

"How can you be, welcome. However, An Le thought that her aunt would come."

"Who in the capital doesn't know that the queen mother never participates in these occasions, and I used to do it for me. True princess, don't you know? Also, I heard the princess call my mother 'aunt' just now? You are affectionate, but you are not our Zhao family, how can you call my queen mother like this? ”

Wen Cheng is still as in the past, and he does not miss any opportunity to hit Song Yi.

Song Yi knew Wencheng's character, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Xianglian and Chunxiang were on the side, accompanying Song Yi.

Today's old lady's birthday is naturally very lively.

When the auspicious time came, King Zhen and Zhu Yuanshan led a group of juniors in the True King's Mansion to pay homage to the old lady.

The younger generations also offered birthday gifts and said birthday greetings.

Everyone spent a lot of thought, after all, although the congratulatory gift is small, the shame is big, and if the gift is too ordinary, it will inevitably be pointed at.

Song Yi has just started, and he is the person in charge this time, so naturally he can't be too shabby.

But Song Yi didn't bother to think about anything special, just to be right, for the sake of insurance, she still personally selected a piece of fine jade, and let the craftsman polish it into a jade Guanyin as a birthday gift.

Although Song Yi's birthday gift was not brilliant, it was also worth a lot, and everyone didn't say much.

The birthday gift for the old lady of the real palace is dazzling, and there are many treasures among them.

However, the most popular thing is the gift given by Zhu Shanlei, the fourth lady of the True Palace.

The birthday gift she gave to the old lady was a longevity picture embroidered by herself with a needle and a thread in hundreds of fonts for more than half a year.

It turned out that Zhu Shanlei used her own hair to mix it in the silk thread in order to make the color realistic and not fade.

Everyone was puzzled, and Zhu Shanlei explained, "The parents of the body's hair and skin." Grandmothers raise their fathers, and granddaughters naturally have to be doubly filial to their grandmothers. Knowing her grandmother's birthday, her granddaughter has nothing more noble to offer, so she can only replace her grandson with her most precious thing and serve her grandmother for a long time."

Originally, Zhu Shanlei, who was inconspicuous, shined at the old lady's birthday banquet, which made everyone see her filial piety.

After inquiring, people with a heart learned that Zhu Shanlei was the young lady in the second room of the True King's Mansion.

Although the eldest son and the young lady have had accidents one after another, and they are all disgraceful things.

But the young lady in the second room looks good. There are inevitably people in the field who are concerned.

Zhu Shanlei's appearance this time also made Cao's honor and feel related to her face. looked at his sister-in-law Wang, and was even more proud.

Wang was embarrassed in his heart, but he still had to maintain the smile on his face, and he almost held back internal injuries in his heart, so he had to grit his teeth and swallow all the sourness into his stomach.

Song Yi didn't expect that Zhu Shanlei, who has always been low-key, will continue to take a low-key route this time, but instead become high-profile, but her style of acting is not as flamboyant as Zhu Chenxi, and it will not make people feel deliberate.

Song Yi can't figure it out, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand people.

After being reminded by Gui's mother, Song Yi knew why Zhu Shanlei suddenly appeared.

It turns out that Zhu Shanlei is thirteen years old this year, and she will be in time next year. Naturally, you have to plan for your future.

These are just tidbits from the birthday feast, so I won't show them for the time being.

For this birthday banquet, Song Yi arranged a church meeting early and invited the best opera troupe in Beijing to perform.

In ancient times, there were no after-shows, especially for women in the deep courtyard like the old lady, except for the church, there was not much excitement.

Today is a birthday, so I naturally ordered a festive excerpt.

The old master personally ordered "Pan Tao Club" and "Shiro Visits His Mother".

Crown Princess Gong Han first ordered "Magu Offering Birthday".

The second imperial concubine Long Feiyan ordered "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers", and the third imperial concubine Du Shuyin ordered "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang".

They are all must-order repertoire for birthdays, although everyone is familiar with them, but they are sung by various opera troupes and famous actors, and they still have a unique taste.

The big drama is sung on the stage, and the aftertaste is endless. In the audience, the ladies and ladies sat on the chairs and listened attentively.

The real king's mansion is very lively all day long, and the guests enter the mansion from the morning to watch the ceremony and listen to the hall meeting.

At noon, Song Yi arranged longevity noodles for the old lady, and the others only ate casually to fill their stomachs.

It's the evening that's the main thing.
