In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, every household posted a red spring alliance, and the sound of firecrackers kept echoing.

The palace is even more lively.

As soon as the day dawned, the harem concubines came to say goodbye one by one. In addition to the common faces, some concubines who rarely appear in front of people for their perennial "recuperation" also came.

Among them, there is Zheng Jieyu.

was confined in Zhongcui Palace for more than a year, and he couldn't go out of the palace gate for half a step, and he couldn't see Emperor Xuanhe, nor did he see the eldest prince and the fourth prince. Only Zheng Jieyu herself understands the taste.

Yesterday, Gonggong Zhao went to Zhongcui Palace to spread the message of the Son of Heaven and ordered Zheng Jieyu to attend the palace banquet. Zheng Jieyu cried at that time. After Zhao Gonggong left, Zheng Jieyu cried again. The tears were full of sadness and bitterness, as well as helpless sadness.

Before dawn today, Zheng Jieyu got up, carefully dressed up and went to the Jiaofang Hall to say goodbye.

"The concubine has seen the queen's mother," Zheng Jieyu saluted respectfully, with humility in her expression: "The concubine heard the emperor's decree and appointed His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince as the prince." The concubines also rejoiced for His Royal Highness the Six Princes and the Queen Mother. ”

Queen Pei looked at Zheng Jieyu, who bowed her head and was convinced, for some reason, she didn't have much happiness in her heart, but a little sigh.

Over the years, the Zheng family has been favored by himself, and there are two princes by his side, in charge of palace affairs, and the scenery is infinite. She, the queen, was closed to recuperate and was overshadowed.

And now, one of the two is sitting on the phoenix chair, and the other is respectfully greeting An.

Everything depends on Emperor Xuanhe's preferences, love and hatred.

……

"Zheng Jieyu is flat and sits." Empress Pei opened her mouth lightly.

Zheng Jieyu hurriedly thanked her and took her seat, raising her head.

Only then did Empress Pei take a closer look at Zheng Jieyu.

Zheng Jieyu is the same age as Pei Wanqing, who has been dead for many years, and is in her forties this year. A woman of this age has to take good care of her makeup. Otherwise, you will look old.

Zheng Jieyu, who is beautiful, has aged very quickly for more than a year. There were a few strands of gray hair in his hair, and there were a few deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

In comparison, Queen Pei has a ruddy complexion and a smile on her eyebrows, and she seems to be several years younger than Zheng Jieyu.

Zheng Jieyu smiled and flattered: "I haven't seen my mother for a long time, my mother has an excellent complexion, and she is becoming more and more beautiful and young." ”

Queen Pei smiled faintly: "Zheng Jieyu looks a little older." ”

Zheng Jieyu was stabbed in the sore spot, and she didn't dare to show half of it, so she responded humbly and carefully: "The concubine is recuperating in Zhongcui Palace all day long, and she is always thinking about the emperor and Niangniang, as well as the eldest prince and the fourth prince. If you think too much, you will grow old quickly. ”

Zheng Jieyu breathed in such a low voice, and Queen Pei lost the interest in beating the water dog, and said casually: "At the palace banquet at noon today, you will be able to meet the eldest prince and the fourth prince." ”

Concubine Gu Shu took over with a smile: "The second prince will lead Brother Heng into the palace today." There are also two little grandsons and a granddaughter of the Great Prince's Mansion. If there are many children, it must be very lively. By the way, the belly of the fourth princess is not small, and she should give birth in three or four months. ”

In terms of heirs, the heirs of the Great Prince's Mansion are the most prosperous. In addition to the grandson and granddaughter of the emperor, Concubine Ye gave birth to another son a few months ago. There is also the fourth princess Wei Fanghua, whose belly is also very competitive, and she became pregnant after a few months.

The smile in Zheng Jieyu's eyes was much more real: "It's good to have more children." ”

Concubine Wei Xian covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Speaking of which, the second prince's mansion is also full of good news. I heard that there are three pregnant beauties in the backyard. In the next year, the emperor's grandchildren were born one after another, and the queen didn't know how happy she was. ”

Speaking of which, it's a joke.

was punished for introspection, but the second prince lingered in wine, and the concubines and beauties in the backyard were lowly. The concubine in the eldest prince's mansion is fortunate to come from the belly of the side concubine. The second prince is too unparticular.

Where is Concubine Wei Xian's congratulations, it is obvious that she deliberately added to the blockage.

Empress Pei glanced at Concubine Wei Xian, and said with a smile: "No matter what, Tian Ding is always a happy event. Speaking of which, the palace is really anxious for the five princes. The fifth princess has been at the door for more than half a year, and there has been no good news. ”

"The other princes have children, and the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse of the four princesses, saying that this fetus is a baby boy nine times out of ten. Among the princes, only the five princes were empty under their knees. Concubine Xian is the biological mother of the five princes, and she should worry more about the five princes. ”

said that Concubine Wei Xian's face was so disgraceful that she couldn't laugh anymore.

Gu Shufei thought to herself, she was really boring.

The queen favored the middle palace alone, and the six princes became the prince again. Even Zheng Jieyu didn't dare to say half a word, for fear of angering Queen Pei.

Concubine Wei Xian is good, but she wants to jump out and jump. Isn't it just a disgraced face?

……

Concubine Wei Xian ate the head, and then she was much more honest.

Soon, a group of princes and princesses entered the palace one after another.

The eldest princess was absent from the palace banquet last year, but this year she finally showed up again, and her expression was extraordinarily respectful.

The fourth princess was six or seven months pregnant, and the fourth prince was also considerate to his wife, and looked at him from time to time. The fifth prince didn't hold back, and glanced at the fourth princess from time to time.

The fifth princess was jealous and angry.

If it was in private, the husband and wife would have quarreled a long time ago. Today is a palace banquet, and the five princesses have to suppress the jealousy in their hearts and squeeze out a smile.

However, all of you here are smart people with raised eyebrows, and you can understand what is going on at a glance.

Concubine Wei Xian looked at her daughter-in-law who was not angry, and the flames in her heart were rubbing.

This Zheng Qinghan is pretentious and high-minded, and his heart is extremely small. Slightly unsatisfactory, often noisy. After the five princes got married, life was not going well. There are occasional quarrels in private.

It's really infuriating that people are embarrassed to come to the palace today!

"Her Royal Highness Princess Shouning is here." The palace maid raised her voice to report.

Empress Pei smiled and said, "Let her in." Then he told everyone: "Shouning's illness is not yet cured, you all speak carefully, don't mention the word illness." ”

The crowd responded.

Princess Shouning has been back in the palace for a few months, and she has been recuperating in the palace behind closed doors, and no one has ever seen her. Du Tidian went to Changle Palace to ask for a pulse for a day, and everyone often speculated about Princess Shouning's illness behind their backs. I was able to see it with my own eyes today.

Soon, Princess Shouning appeared in front of people.

Princess Shouning likes red the most, and today she is wearing a red palace dress, her long hair is combed into a flowing cloud bun, and the pearl on the hairpin is dazzling. The look of arrogance on his face is exactly the same as before.

Concubine Wei Xian couldn't help but glance at Concubine Gu Shu.

Strange, this is a little bit like sickness!

"Daughter Shouning, I have seen the queen mother." After Princess Shouning saluted, she went to Queen Pei's side.

Empress Pei smiled and advised: "Your father will come later, you don't talk much today, don't make your father unhappy." ”

Princess Shouning said coquettishly: "The queen mother said this about her daughter, and her daughter is really wronged. When did the daughter provoke her father. ”

Everyone: "......"
