There was still a day before the palace banquet began, but Yu Jinghuan did not allow Yu Jinghuan to see the injured Qinghe and Luyi.

The Queen Mother also ordered that Yu Jinghuan's gifts and attendants for entering the palace this time should be personally selected by her.

Yu Jinghuan was busy and thought about it for a long time before she picked out a good pair of jade Guanyin as a gift.

In the evening, she was going to look for Qinghe and Luyi, and rummaged through the entire palace, and there was really no place except for the abandoned courtyard.

She also went to the dungeon of the palace, where something else was being held.

It was impossible for Yu Wang Ye to lie, she only told Yu Jinghuan that these two people were not in the dungeon.

But they don't really want to say where they are.

Yu Jinghuan could only give up looking for it for the time being, and prepared to meet the queen mother's palace banquet.

After the palace banquet, the prince promised her that he would let two people come to see her.

For a whole day, Qinghe and Luyi also waited in the firewood room for a day, but they didn't wait for her.

The Empress Dowager's resolute and resolute methods have also been seen by officials in the court and women in the harem.

The county lord who can reprimand the emperor very much when he arrives is naturally not something to mess with.

And in this month, because she had to learn etiquette, Yu Jinghuan stayed at home and didn't hear of anything else.

So in the early morning before the palace banquet began, the carriage of Dacheng walked in the official house on the palace road, and the young lady saw Yu Jinghuan coming and invited her to get on the bus together.

The official lady held Yu Jinghuan's hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a month, but the county lord has lost a lot of weight. ”

Yu Jinghuan only nodded slightly, full of etiquette.

The official lady's eyes lit up a little, and she said with a smile: "A few years ago, you don't blame your sister for having less intersection than the county lord, she is really a middle school girl in your sister's family, and there are many things to do, and you have to stumble over rules and etiquette." ”

The official lady looked at Yu Jinghuan and saw that the other party's expression did not change at all, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he found that the two familiar maidservants behind Yu Jinghuan were gone, and then he thought of something and said with a smile: "The county lord has become much more beautiful after not seeing him for a long time, and even the maidservants around him are all beauties." ”

Yu Jinghuan turned her head to look at the two handmaidens that the prince had given to her.

One is called Qin and Qi, and the other is called Calligraphy and Painting.

She didn't give them any new names, as she had been waiting for Qinghe and Luyi to return.

But when this official lady said this, I'm afraid she also knows something.

Thinking of Qinghe and Luyi, Yu Jinghuan felt a pain in her heart and didn't say much, just smiled.

Xu was finally able to meet someone to confide in, and the housekeeper continued to chatter.

In the month that the Queen Mother returned to the palace, many people were rectified, and even the emperor was arranged by the Queen Mother.

Since ancient times, women are not allowed to participate in politics, so the queen mother's hand did not reach the previous dynasty, but took care of the harem obediently.

There is no queen in the emperor's harem, and the emperor has not arranged a draft for several years.

The harem is deserted, the concubines are not favored, and there are many people with average family backgrounds.

I heard that the queen mother has made a death order, and within two months, the emperor must appoint a queen to manage the six palaces, and another three months will be for the emperor to draft.

The emperor is busy with business on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to choose someone to be the queen in the harem, which can be described as very busy.

The ministers also had to work overtime because the emperor was busy, and they had to be busy until two hours more than usual every day before they had to go back to rest.

The official lady also complained that her father came back too late every day, unlike the prince who had the emperor's permission to handle political affairs in the palace, and there was a sense of envy when she said this.

At present, there is a lot of speculation in the harem and these official ladies, that is, which family is elected to the throne.

Concubine Zhang Jiaxian has the son of the third prince, and the third prince is quite valued by the emperor, and many people think that this Zhang family must have swallowed this crab.

Yu Jinghuan didn't intend to hear so much.

It's just that if the Queen Mother knows about what happened to her and the third prince before, she doesn't know what she will do to herself if she is too thick.

Yu Jinghuan has no mental awareness, and this official lady likes to talk about her own affairs.

One person talked, and one person listened to the carriage and arrived at the palace.

When the official lady heard that the coachman outside had stopped the car, she immediately understood, closed her mouth, made a gesture of please, and asked the county lord to get out of the car first.

Prince Yu's carriage was in front of their house, and he was already waiting for Yu Jinghuan at the gate of the palace early.

Yu Jinghuan is dressed in a transparent turquoise blue today, and I heard that this is the Queen Mother's favorite.

Her headdress is simple and generous, and the jewelry on her body looks simple and unpretentious, but it is also priceless.

"Huan'er looks very beautiful today, and the Queen Mother has always liked people who are subtle and introverted."

The prince looked around and finally made this evaluation.

Looking at the two maidservants behind Yu Jinghuan, he nodded and said, "Yes, the ones you have selected for the county lord today are all satisfactory, rewards, all rewards." ”

Qinqi, calligraphy and painting immediately thanked her, and Yu Jing stood aside lightly.

The prince naturally knew that Yu Jinghuan was still thinking about Qinghe and Luyi, so he didn't say anything more.

The horn in the palace sounded, and the palace banquet was about to begin.

Yu Jinghuan saw the Queen Mother for the first time after a month, and she was still as powerful and domineering as when she entered the palace, and the seriousness between her eyebrows had not diminished a point.

This palace banquet is mainly for the princes to choose wives and concubines, and the queen mother has to look at it first and have a bottom in her heart.

Unexpectedly, the county lord was the first to be called, and Yu Jinghuan herself was a little surprised.

But fortunately, I know in my heart that there is nothing unqualified about the smooth flow between walking and saluting.

Empress Dowager Su nodded, looked at her with a smile and said, "You raise your head." ”

Yu Jinghuan slowly raised her head and looked at the Empress Dowager Su.

The Queen Mother was smiling at this time, looking a little like Aunt Du Juan, with a familiar and kind face.

"The mourning family saw that you have been very attentive this month, and the two aunts who taught you are also very satisfied with you.

When the emperor heard this, the queen mother's hand was a big deal.

This coral is very rare, and it was rewarded by the emperor when the Queen Mother was pregnant with the fourth elder brother, implying God's blessing and protection.

The Queen Mother's move made Yu Jinghuan settle down.

The prince watched from the side but shook his head, it seems that the queen mother has taken a fancy to Yu Jinghuan...... But how can this be good?

Presumably the Queen Mother knew that Yu Jinghuan had rejected the three princes, so when she came out like this, wouldn't she have included Yu Jinghuan in the prince's choice of wife.

Few of the people present knew the meaning of this red coral, but those who understood it only praised the blessing of this county lord.

Just angered the Queen Mother last month, and now the Queen Mother has picked her with a good eye, and this Queen Mother is even more difficult to figure out than the emperor.

didn't understand it, only when Yu Jinghuan won the appreciation of the Queen Mother, this hurdle can be regarded as over, it is really good luck.
