There is a palace banquet in the evening, because it is still during the state funeral, and the state funeral is not allowed to perform music and feast. The nobles in Beijing are only looking forward to the banquet held in the palace.

When the new moon arrived, I wanted to look around my palace, but I just put down my chopsticks after lunch, and someone outside reported that someone was coming.

Instead of changing her clothes, Crescent Moon continued to sit in the uncomfortable chair, waiting for someone to come in.

The people who came to "Say Hello to the Queen Mother" were the eldest princess Yiqing and her daughter-in-law, and her princess's mansion was near the imperial city, so she was the first to come.

As the biological daughter of the previous Empress Chai, her status is naturally much higher than that of the princess born to the concubine like Xinyue. Looking at the eyes of the new moon, as always, he was very proud.

Xinyue smiled, "Auntie, please get up and sit down." ”

"You used to call me Auntie. Your mother and I, although not born to the same mother, are both children of Emperor Shengxiao, the same as the first emperor. The eldest princess of Yiqing turned sideways and sat in the first position of the new moon, and the eldest princess first complained to the new moon.

Xinyue looked at the Shen family who was sitting next to the eldest princess, living under such an aggressive mother-in-law, I am afraid that life will not be easy.

"I'm talking to you," the eldest princess cleared her throat and raised her voice.

"It's the first time I've seen Mrs. Shen in this palace, and Madame has been transferred back from office with her cousin?" Xinyue still didn't speak to the eldest princess, but turned the conversation to the Shen family.

"Back to Niangniang's words, yes, the concubine and her husband have been in office for three years, and now it is the first time to return to Beijing to participate in the palace banquet, and it is a great honor to meet the canonization ceremony of Niangniang." Shen stood up and bowed to the new moon.

"My cousin is also a capable person, and in the past, when my father was there, he always said that he had goodness in his heart and could achieve great things." Shen Shi listened to Xinyue's words of praising her husband, and naturally couldn't help laughing.

"Madame, sit down, taste my red jade tea, it doesn't suit your appetite."

"Yes" said Shen, sitting back in his place and picking up the tea at hand.

"Hasn't the Shen family always been proud of educating women? Why is it that my mother-in-law is not used yet..."

"Auntie, you said just now, this palace used to call you aunt, and we are indeed cousins, but now we are close to each other, and this palace doesn't seem to be happy to see your aunt. If you don't want to be the aunt of the palace, you have to ask Your Majesty to get you out of the royal family. ”

Even when the first emperor was there, the eldest princess had never heard such heavy words, and when she heard it, her face immediately changed, "Moved out of the royal family?" I want to see if you have the ability to do this? ”

"Your Majesty and the palace have this ability, but it mainly depends on your own thoughts, aunt. The eldest princess drinks tea, this black tea is always bitter when it is cold. With that, Crescent Moon picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

The eldest princess was so angry that she stood up, and was about to open her mouth to teach Xinyue a lesson, but saw Xinyue put down the cup in her hand heavily, "Auntie, are you the same for your cousin Queen Chai and your mother?" ”

"How can you, a second-married queen from the broken door, be comparable to my mother and cousin?"

"But we're all queens. And you, your husband, son and daughter-in-law, are all under the palace as ministers, and the ministers are like this to the king, isn't it a rebellion? Xinyue's voice was not loud, but it completely frightened the eldest princess, she looked straight at Xinyue, and sneered, "I heard Yao'er say that you have climbed the high branch of Your Majesty, and your whole person has changed." I don't think you've changed, but from the beginning, you were such a domineering person, and it's only now that you've gained power. ”

"Auntie, the tea is cold, drink the tea, you have to dissipate your anger. Soon a new woman will come in, don't you, lose your sense of proportion and lose face. This was the last warning from the new moon, the sneer on the eldest princess's face was still the same, she looked at the new moon, but let her daughter-in-law pull her and sit back in her original position.

Sure enough, she had just sat down, and there was a report that a few more women had come.

The Kun Palace was also lively, these women, Xinyue knew each other more or less, and they were able to speak with ease.

Before Mrs. Zhuang and Chen went to the palace, Chen helped his mother-in-law with some uneasiness and asked, "Mother-in-law, are we really going in like this?" ”

"Or else? Your Majesty has completely ignored our marriage contract with the queen, and we can only assume that there has never been such a thing, and how others get along with the queen will get along with the queen. And Compassion is not also a concubine in the palace, it is related to the future of our Jiang family. ”

"Yes, yes" Chen agreed, and the two of them entered the hall in front of him, and the two of them also walked into the main hall of Kun Palace one after the other.

After the two of them saluted, Xinyue deliberately stood up and curtsied at Old Madam Zhuang, "Madam, you are here." ”

"Niangniang, aren't you tormenting the concubine" As she spoke, Old Madam Zhuang was about to kneel, but was pulled by Xinyue, "Old Madam, are you going to break up with me?" ”

"Niangniang, concubine..."Old Madam Zhuang looked around, then looked at Xinyue's eyes, sighed, and whispered to Xinyue, "Child, let's just act as if nothing happened, so it's a good thing for you and us." ”

After hearing this, Xinyue looked around, and sure enough, everyone's attention was on them, and the Chen family behind him was also embarrassed, "Niangniang, you..."

"Yes, yes, ma'am, I, I see." As she spoke, Xinyue lowered her head, let the tears in her eyes flow out, and then raised her head again, "Quickly give Old Madam Zhuang a seat." ”

"Xie Niangniang" Mrs. Zhuang and Chen had just sat down, and a word came in to say Xiao Nanyin, Shan'er and Yao'er came.

The room immediately fell silent, and Crescent Moon felt the atmosphere that had condensed all of a sudden, and smiled, "Please come in." ”

After a while, the three of them, one in front of the other and two behind, slowly walked up to the main hall, and at this time, the seats in the hall were almost full, and the two of them were almost there.

"Participating in the Queen Mother" The three of them greeted the new moon together.

In the past, after the death of her aunt, it was Xinyue who took Shan'er and Yao'er out to socialize, and now Xiao Nanyin, who is at the forefront, was originally more familiar with Shan'er and Yao'er, so the three of them looked very close.

"Get up" After the new moon sat down, he fiddled with the forbidden step on his waist, on top of yesterday's phoenix robe, the new moon also wore this forbidden step, invisibly, it seemed to give the new moon some strength.

"Xie Niangniang" The three of them got up, Yao'er first met the eyes of the new moon, she saw the new moon, and she was also instinctively excited, but when she thought of the current situation and the identity of the new moon, her eyes dimmed.

Xinyue felt uncomfortable in her heart, the kind of pain that was unrelieved made her unable to achieve superficial calm, pursed her lips but couldn't laugh.

"Sit down, it's going well." Crescent asked.

"If I went back to my mother, it was all going well, but when I arrived at the gate of the palace, there were many people and cars, so I slowed down for a while." Xiao Nanyin has not participated in this kind of occasion for many years, and she feels like a world away for a while, but because of the rules that have been engraved in her bones since she was a child, every move is in the rules.

The three of them sat down, Xinyue glanced at Shan'er, Shan'er's face was not good, I heard that Yanwengong's health was not very good, and it was estimated that he would not be able to survive the winter.

"How is Yan Wengong's health? Is it better? Crescent asked.

"Xie Niangniang still remembers that her father-in-law's body is recovering, but it is not too good." Shan'er grimaced coldly, smiling disdainfully.

"If that's the case, then take care of it. There is a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng in this palace, you can bring it back to Yanwen Gong. ”

"In the concubine's house, there are these things, there is no need for you." Shan'er couldn't help but be offended.

The hall was very quiet, and no one spoke, waiting quietly for the crescent moon to manifest.

Xinyue frowned, looking at the eldest princess, the eldest princess also looked like she was watching a good show. But the eldest princess noticed the new moon's eyes, and she raised her eyebrows, as if she realized something.

Now that she realized what Xinyue was going to do, the eldest princess immediately spoke, "Shan'er, it's one thing whether the Yanwen Mansion needs it or not, and it's another thing to have a reward from the mother. What's wrong with you? I'm afraid that I am serving your father-in-law, and the spirit of serving is not good, so I don't get up yet, and thank my mother for the reward. ”

Shan'er understood the meaning of the eldest princess's words, but...

She looked up and glanced at the new moon, she didn't believe that the new moon would really make her stand up.

Xinyue sneered, and then curled up her palm, since it was useless to let the eldest princess persuade her, there was no need for her to give her face again, and she was about to speak, but Shan'er stood up, and saluted and said, "Yes, thank you for the reward of the concubine." ”

It seems that Shan'er is still interesting.

"Okay, it's just a small thing, get up," she said, and Crescent Moon smiled again.

"Niangniang, Mrs. Cao is here." Xinyue looked around, and sure enough, Sister-in-law Cao hadn't come yet.

Cao's late came, in fact, because this was the first time she had participated in the palace banquet since she was out of the captivity, and she was afraid that others would laugh at her, and she didn't want to see others flattering her because of the relationship between the new moon, so she came so late.

The door of the hall opened, and Cao's sister-in-law led Minhui and walked in.

"Say hello to the mother" The two knelt on the ground and said hello to the new moon.

"Get up, sister-in-law is here, sit down." Crescent Moon deepened her smile, but she only felt that the sides of her cheeks were very sore.

"Xie Niangniang" Cao got up, led Minhui, and became by his mother's side.

"Minhui, come to Auntie's place." As she spoke, Crescent Moon held out her hand to Minhui.

This is a precocious and hurt child, Xinyue looked at the sensitivity in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Minhui looked at her mother's eyes, Cao nodded, and then she got up and walked to Xinyue's side.

Minhui grabbed Crescent's outstretched hand, and when she saw that Crescent's hand was a little cold, she smiled at Crescent.

"Minhui, did you go well along the way?" Crescent asked.

"Yes, it's a good road. Today is the market of the West Market, because it is the wedding of His Majesty and the Niangniang, there is a place for children to give candy in the West Market, aunt, you see, this is the maid next to Minhui to get it. As she spoke, Minhui opened her hand to the new moon, holding a few pieces of rock candy in her hand.

"And such a thing?" Crescent Moon really hasn't heard of such an event in the West Market.

"Your Majesty ordered it. It has been sent for a few days, and it was ordered by His Majesty to let the husband of the concubine do it. "It was Hu Shi, the wife of the grain Si Cao, who spoke.

"That's Your Majesty's heart." Xinyue smiled, this kind of thing that a husband likes his wife, even if Xinyue doesn't want to laugh, she has to deal with it.

"Auntie taste." As she spoke, Minhui brought her to Crescent's lips.

The crescent moon opened her mouth and saw rock sugar in her lips and teeth.

"Auntie, is it sweet?" Minhui asked.

Crescent Moon nodded, "It's sweet." ”

"Then, my aunt and Your Majesty must be as sweet and sweet as this sugar." Saying that, Minhui laughed, this is a little childlike.

Crescent Moon reached out and hugged her into her arms, "Then thank you for your good words." ”

"Eh" Minhui nodded, and sat sideways on Crescent Moon's lap.

"Minhui, don't sit on Niangniang and crumple Niangniang's gorgeous clothes." Cao quickly stood up and wanted Minhui to come down.

But was stopped by Xinyue, "Looking at Minhui, Bengong remembered the days when I grew up under my aunt's knees before, so Princess Yu's care for me was really dedicated, and she was not inferior to her biological mother in Bengong." In this way, the palace asked His Majesty, and His Majesty wanted to add the honorific title of "Pure Goodness" to the late Princess Yu. ”

As soon as Xinyue's words fell, Xiao Nanyin stood up and knelt on the ground to thank him, "Concubine Xie Niangniang Longen." ”

"Princess Yu, please hurry up" Xinyue looked at everyone's reactions, all of them with banter on their faces, looking at this joke-like in-laws.

Thinking of this, Xinyue said to Xiao Nanyin again, "This palace is also a grateful retribution." For people who are good to this palace, this palace naturally doubles the report. The memory of this palace is always very good, and if it is not good for this palace, this palace does not want to remember much. But I don't like it very much in my life, the kind of person who builds a wall and watches, and falls into the well. Sister-in-law, this palace told you. ”

When Cao Shi heard this, he immediately stood up, looked around, and saw that Xinyue was beating everyone, so he bowed and said, "Yes, when the concubine and her husband were imprisoned in the past, they also received the favor of many people. ”

"Yes, it's good for us, I can't forget it."

As soon as the words fell, Mama Wang came over and said, "Ladies and misses, the banquet is almost ready, and I invite you to move into the table." ”

"Well, since it's almost over, you all should go over quickly. The main palace will arrive in a moment. ”

"Yes"

Emperor Weiming has many sons, from one to ten, all of them have lived to adulthood, but a witch Gu, seven out of ten deaths, Emperor Weiming also because he can't stand the blow, and he can't afford to be sick from then on. At that time, His Majesty was seriously ill, and the eldest prince was naturally in charge of the country. The third princess, Yu Jie, served from Emperor Weiming's side.

The third princess is Emperor Weiming's favorite princess, since the princess's biological mother, Concubine Jin, after the princess died of illness at the age of ten, the princess has been raised by Emperor Weiming's side. But she is just a princess who has lost her mother, and she will not make a little splash in this river full of men.

Emperor Weiming died, and the eldest prince ascended the throne. The jade seal, the edict, and the last words of Emperor Weiming are listed in front of the world one by one, and the great prince Bao Jie, the eighth emperor of the Great Wei, number: Qiding.

After three years of Jianxing, the emperor collapsed and had no heirs.

And Emperor Weiming's lineage, pulling the genealogy, the son of Emperor Weiming, one, is gone. The three heirs who survived the witch Gu incident known as the Chengjie Change, in addition to Emperor Qiding, the three princes were injured by the witch Gu incident and lost their longevity, and they died of illness before the winter solstice.
