Before it got dark, Duanmu Qing took Baimei to the palace.

In previous years, Duan Mulan must follow, after all, she still knows more about the rules of the palace than Baimei, but now her identity has changed, and she is no longer her personal maid, but the second lady of the palace.

Although there is no will to canonize the county lord in the palace, the status of the Ling Wangfu is actually no different from Duanmu Qing, which is also a rule that Duanmu Qing and the people have long set.

She is Duanmulan, she has been since then, and she has been in the past since then.

The group of lovely people in Xiang Ling's Mansion consciously thought so without any instructions, and Duanmu Qing was also very pleased in his heart.

It's just that a person like Baimei is allowed to follow her to the palace, but Duan Mulan is not at ease, after all, she is a child of the rivers and lakes.

After teaching at home for a long time, I was barely relieved to let her out.

"Miss, my hair is right!" In the carriage, Bai Mei asked as if she was moving around uncomfortably.

"Don't listen to Lan'er, she is a meticulous person, naturally she will do such a thing very well, although this time it is Han Yuan's birthday banquet, but there are so many people here, we are not very important guests, as long as we are not rude."

Seeing that she was still a little nervous, Duanmu Qing added: "Of course, if you plan to find a wishful husband at this birthday banquet, then say something else." ”

Bai Mei really no longer played with the hairpin on her head, but threw a flattering glance: "If you want to talk about Ruyi Langjun, on family background, appearance, character, and talent, who else can beat King Hao in this huge Dongli!" ”

Duanmu Qing was bored with herself, she was originally ridiculing her, but it turned out that she was teasing herself.

"You!" Baimei nodded her head, "With this Han Lingyan, I haven't seen any changes in you, but this mouth has become like him." ”

Duanmu Qing bowed his head and smiled a little embarrassed.

During this time, although she and Han Lingxi did not share the same bed like a real husband and wife, during the day, he was almost always in Lingwangfu, so the lives of the two of them were a little similar to when they were in Qingzhou.

lives easily, and when he talks on weekdays, he naturally speaks casually, and unconsciously learns a little bit of his casual tone.

While he was thinking about it in a mess, the carriage arrived at the second gate of the palace.

I also came to the palace a lot, especially when Guo Jiashu was pregnant, she had to come over every day, and she was really familiar with this place.

It's just that this time it's different from usual.

There are a lot more people to be received, and they are all for the purpose of receiving the ladies of the Commandments.

The carriage was driven aside, and naturally two aunts came forward to guide Duanmuqing.

Bai Mei really learned the rules taught by Duan Mulan, secretly stuffed the ingots of silver, and said with a smile: "Give the two aunts tea." ”

Sure enough, the two elderly court ladies immediately smiled, and the backs, which had been bent all year round, seemed to be a little more bent.

The birthday banquet was set up in the Hanyi Palace, speaking of which, this place is really quite special for Duanmu Qing.

At that time, after coming to Dongli, the first time I saw Han Lingxi was here.

It was also here that I was hurt my heart once.

It's just that now that I think about it, when the woman who made me jealous has turned into a lot of white bones, it is really the past that follows the wind.

In my heart, it is inevitable to skip the emotion that the meaning of the object is a human fly.

As soon as he raised his head, he looked at a pair of phoenix eyes in the distance, and he was standing there greeting the minister, but he didn't forget to wink at himself.

Duanmu Qing smiled back, then raised his chin and signaled him to leave himself alone.

In the end, he is a prince, she is just a county lord, this banquet is so grand, and the registration of humility is naturally very strict.

They don't sit too close together.

In fact, it was exactly as Duanmu Qing thought, as in previous years, that she was arranged in a group of female dependents, all of whom were county lords, county lords, county lords, and the like.

She Duanmuqing is different from these women who have empty titles, and when she sees her coming, whether she is higher than her or lower than her, she stands up.

Naturally, those with a lower rank will salute, and those with a higher rank than her will come forward to say a few words.

It was easy to sit down for a while, Duanmu Qing didn't pay attention to what he was doing, and sat there with his eyes and nose and nose and heart, and now the only task was to wait for it to be over.

Of course, it's impossible to ignore everything, and since you're here, you naturally still have to take a look, just to relieve boredom.

Speaking of which, let's talk about some surprises, after all, this time she heard the news that Han Yuan personally said that Zhou Yu would organize this birthday banquet.

I thought it would be very different from previous years, but who knows that there is really no difference except for the actions of a few people.

Judging from the expressions of everyone walking into the main hall, Duanmu Qing knew that there were many people who had such thoughts as her.

After a while, Han Yuan sat down with the concubine.

Although he heard that Han Yuan had been fortunate to have many young and low-ranking women recently, he did not bring any of them out of this birthday banquet.

There are still only a few people: the queen, Xiao Guifei, Shufei and Jiafei.

Guo Jiashu is probably living in a simple house now, Duanmuqing has basically not seen her since her child was born, and when the child was one year old, she also asked Duanmulan to find a few gadgets and send them to the palace, but she didn't hear anything coming out.

But it can be imagined that although she is the concubine of King Huainan, the King of Huainan and the Xiao family have always been both prosperous and loss-making.

The Xiao Mansion plummeted because of the last household incident, and Concubine Xiao Guifei was also unprecedentedly snubbed, which is naturally not a good thing for the Huainan Palace.

According to Guo Jiashu's position in the harem, she really shouldn't move around much, it's best to stay in the deep palace and tease the princess, so how can she still be a concubine with a dragon heir.

Xiao Gui looked very tired at this time, it seemed that he hadn't rested well for a long time, and his whole person looked much older.

Han Lingxiang hadn't left the Four Kings' Mansion at this time, but it was almost there, but even if it was, what could it do? The power of the mother's family fell, and the previous dynasty was taken advantage of by Han Ling.

To put it mildly, their mother and son actually have no place to stand.

Although Duanmu Qing analyzed it like this in his heart, he didn't mean to sympathize at all.

She wasn't a virgin, it was impossible for anyone to be sympathetic, but she hadn't forgotten what they had done to her and Han Ling at that time.

In this case, let it be regarded as the retribution given to them by heaven!

Just when she was thinking about it sullenly, the birthday banquet began, and after all kinds of people in the hall had saluted, the so-called performance began.

The queen was really sloppy this time, this was Duanmu Qing's first thought, this performance was really a bit perfunctory.

There is nothing new in singing and dancing, it is like dancing every year, and it is estimated that some people from the music bureau have pulled them out of the music bureau and let them choose their best performances.

Some of the other shows are the same, and they really don't look much different from previous years.

Han Yuan looked at the dancer who was twisting her soft waist below, her brows furrowed, and she was about to turn her face to ask the queen on the side, but found that she was sitting motionless next to her with a dignified smile that had not changed for thousands of years, as if she was enjoying the song and dance here very seriously.

Han Yuan was so angry that he couldn't say anything, he could almost imagine that if he asked her why she was so familiar with these programs, her answer would be: "Singing and dancing are for pleasure, there is no need to waste the country's financial resources to be too luxurious." ”

It's like a virtuous queen, she was.

If Zhou Yu, who was sitting on the side, didn't know Han Yuan's thoughts about this, she really wouldn't be worthy of Zhou Yu.

She believed that no one in this world knew the man sitting next to her better than she did.

But so what? She knew him, so why didn't he understand her? Since he doesn't understand, who is to blame for his dissatisfaction now.

Wen Ruo on the side was a little nervous, and others didn't know, in fact, this banquet was organized by her with full authority, but when others asked, they just said that it was the queen's mother.

Han Yuan took a few breaths as hard as he could, and then turned to the other side in anger, watching the performance below.

"Miss, these things are really boring, it's better to be the girls in the dive lake painting boat! Even if you sing a song, I'm afraid it's better than them. ”

Duanmu Qing shook his head with a smile, noncommittal: "If you like to watch it, you can watch it, if you don't like it, just accompany me to stand here, don't talk too much there, it's wrong to talk too much about this place." ”

Only then did she remember what Duanmulan said to herself when she went out, and stuck out her tongue, and Baimei hurriedly covered her mouth.

"This sister, do you know where to change clothes? I'm sitting here sweating profusely. The woman who looked to be in her forties on the side heard Duanmu Qing and Bai Mei talking, and knew that they probably didn't have much to pay attention to the performance in front of her, so she asked.

After looking at her casually, Duanmu Qing suddenly saw that this woman was not from Changjing's side, not only because her accent was different, but also because she was dressed differently.

Duanmu Qing originally looked a little boring when he saw this, and said with a smile: "This weather hasn't cooled down yet, and it's normal to sweat here, not to mention that my sister's material is also easy to make people sweat." ”

"No, fortunately, I brought an extra set of clothes when I went out, otherwise it would be a shame." The woman smiled and was a little embarrassed when she said it.

"I'll take you there! It just so happens that I want to wash my hands, too. ”638
