The Tatar prince changed his mother's surname to Yuan Silan.

Yuan Silan volunteered to stay in Dachu for the proton, and Xuanhe Emperor Long's heart was happy, so that Yuan Silan lived in Liuhua Palace. It is only separated by a wall from Chonghua Palace, the sleeping palace of the second prince.

There were no secrets in the palace, and before evening, the news was already known to everyone.

Emperor Xuanhe passed on the edict and set up a palace banquet tonight to wash the dust for Yuan Silan.

In Zhaoning Palace, Princess Yuan Wan, who was full of confusion and fear, pulled Gu Shufei's sleeve and cried quietly: "Mother, I'm so scared. ”

The concubines in Emperor Xuanhe's harem are all from famous families. Concubine Gu Shufei is the eldest daughter of Gu Zhangyuan of Hanlin Academy.

Gu Shufei has been reading poetry and books since she was a child, and she has a gentle bookish atmosphere, a goose egg face, and a beautiful appearance. The fourteen-year-old Princess Kangning inherited Concubine Gu Shu's delicate and lovely, docile and timid.

The news that the Tatar prince came to Dachu to marry the princess spread in the past few days.

Princess Shouning and Queen Pei in the Jiaofang Palace were angry and awkward, and it was also privately spread by the palace people.

Although Princess Corning is timid, she is not a fool. After thinking about it carefully, I guessed what Princess Shouning was making a fuss about. She had red eyes, choked up and said, "Mother, my sister must not want to marry Tatar." If my sister doesn't go, will it be my turn to kiss? ”

Emperor Xuanhe had only two daughters.

Princess Shouning is the descendant of Queen Pei, the elder brother of the second prince, and the younger brother of the sixth prince. Corning is a princess, a brother of no mother.

Moreover, Concubine Gu Shu has long fallen out of favor.

Princess Shouning doesn't want to marry, but isn't it Princess Kangning's turn?

Gu Shufei's heart was sour, she reached out to hold Princess Kangning, and stroked Princess Kangning's hair: "Kangning, the matter of marriage has not yet been decided, don't be afraid first." If...... There really is a day, and it will be your life. ”

"You were born a princess, and you enjoy the honor and dignity of a princess. When you reach the age of marriage, if the Great Chu Dynasty needs a princess and relatives to marry, you are also duty-bound. ”

"At the age of fifteen, the princess of Roujia married a fifty-year-old Tatar Khan. sacrificed her alone, but in exchange for a five-year truce between Da Chu and Tatar. In those five years, I don't know how many soldiers and people were saved. ”

"Kang Ning, my mother is reluctant to marry you and your relatives. But if there is such a day, the mother concubine will not cry and cry. You have to be strong and courageous. ”

Princess Corning's eyes turned redder, and tears slipped down the corners of her eyes.

Concubine Gu Shu also shed tears. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a moment.

Soon, Concubine Gu Shu wiped her tears and said softly: "Tonight, there will be a banquet in the palace to wash the dust for the Tatar prince." He is the son of Princess Roujia, and in terms of blood, he is also your cousin. Your father ordered everyone to attend the palace banquet, which also meant to recognize relatives. ”

"Go get a new outfit and get dressed. Don't lose face for your father. ”

Princess Corning wiped her tears from her sleeve and whispered.

……

Princess Shouning was also in turmoil, changing her clothes and dressing up under the service of the palace maids.

She was bright and proud, far superior to Princess Corning. When the two sisters appeared together, everyone's eyes always fell on her.

In the past, she was quite proud of it.

But now, looking at the beautiful and bright face in the mirror, Princess Shouning has no joy, only gloomy and boring.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Qiqi, Her Royal Highness the Second Prince has come down."

Princess Shouning snorted sullenly.

A moment later, the second prince in the prince's uniform walked in.

"Second brother," Princess Shouning looked unhappy: "Why does my father value that Tatar prince so much?" also specially set up a palace banquet for him! ”

The second prince is full of worries, and he has been very patient with Princess Shouning these days: "The Tatar prince has changed his motherhood and is called Yuan Silan." Willing to be a proton and stay in Dachu for a long time. This is a good thing for Da Chu. It did not take a single soldier to divide the Tatars and cause chaos in the future. ”

Where could Princess Shouning listen to this, and said angrily: "This Tatar prince has to live in the palace for a long time, it's really shameless." ”

The second prince choked for a moment, and had to change the topic: "See you today with family etiquette." He is the son of Aunt Roujia and our cousin. You must not be rude! ”

Princess Shouning snorted from her nose.

She's just going to be rude!

It just sets off Corning's suppleness and well-behavedness.

That Tatar prince may have fallen in love with Corning at a glance and wanted to marry Corning!

The brother and sister whispered for a moment, and the second prince suddenly said, "Don't be angry with the queen mother." Come with me to the Jiaofang Hall to say hello to the queen mother! ”

Tonight's palace banquet will be set up in the Jiaofang Palace.

Queen Pei has been recuperating from illness all year round, but the most important palace banquets every year are set up in the Jiaofang Palace. This also symbolizes the unshakable status of the queen of the middle palace.

Princess Shouning was stunned for a moment and nodded reluctantly.

……

In the Jiaofang Palace, Qingdai Xianglan is waiting for Queen Pei to make up.

Queen Pei changed into a red palace dress, combed her complicated hairstyle, and put on a gorgeous phoenix hairpin. The pale and sick face was covered with rouge, and his complexion looked a little ruddy.

There are very few occasions in a year when she is required to make an appearance. Tonight's palace banquet was set up for the Tatar prince, and Emperor Xuanhe personally issued an edict. Queen Pei naturally has to show her face.

"Empress Qiyu, Emperor Zheng Guifei Niangniang led His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to come to meet you."

"Empress Qiyu, Concubine Wei Xian and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince have come down."

"Empress Qiyu, the eldest prince and the eldest princess have come to meet you."

"Queen Mother, Second Prince and Princess Shouning, please ......"

Empress Pei nodded slightly: "Let them wait in the main hall." ”

After dressing up, Queen Pei did not go to the main hall and stayed in the bedroom silently. Until an attendant came to spread the word: "The queen mother, the emperor is coming." ”

Empress Pei got up and went to the main hall.

Qing Dai Shead Lan followed, and more than ten palace maids accompanied her.

The concubines, princesses, and princesses who had been waiting in the main hall for more than half an hour greeted each other with a salute.

There are more than 20 palace concubines of the grade, seven princes and two princesses, as well as a princess and a little grandson. It's a lively banquet in the Heavenly Palace.

Empress Pei said softly: "It's all flat." ”

Then he said no more.

Everyone was accustomed to Queen Pei's silence and few words, and they all sat down and laughed in a low voice.

After another moment, Emperor Xuanhe came.

Empress Pei led everyone to stand up and salute together to welcome the holy car.

Emperor Xuanhe, dressed in a dragon robe, walked in slowly. On his side were a few chamberlains who were waiting closely, and there were more than a dozen imperial guards. He Qi and Pei Zhang are among them.

Today, Emperor Xuanhe also has a young man by his side.

This person is none other than the Tatar prince Yuan Silan.

Through the shadows, I couldn't see what Yuan Silan looked like. Princess Shouning didn't want to look at it anymore, so she twisted her head to the side, just in line with Princess Kangning beside her.
