There was also speculation at the other tables about who this year's reward would be awarded.

Yue'er didn't make a sound, just listened, she came here today to open her eyes, grew a lot of knowledge, during the banquet these concubines also talked about today's hobbies, said that Xuanling loves words and loves painting, not only to collect the world's masterpieces, but also to call the current calligraphy painters masters, specially built a royal painting academy for them, for them to paint and write.

Those concubines also whispered about the emperor Xuanlong of the previous dynasty, saying that Emperor Xuanlong had liked a woman in the Qinglou, so he dug a secret passage in the palace in order to sneak out of the palace and have a tryst with the woman.

Yue'er's heart moved, the secret passage she climbed into, could it be left by Emperor Xuanlong, there was a girl in the Qinglou who lived in the Frost Leaf Pavilion before, could it be that she had dealings with Emperor Xuanlong?

After three rounds of drinking, the Queen Mother came to the platform, she picked up the wine glass, and the following immediately quieted down.

"Everyone is speculating about who the guest who won the Ciming Hall Award this year, and what contribution she has made to deserve this honor, isn't it?"

The Queen Mother said, with a smile on her face.

The concubines below responded together: "Yes-"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I don't know this mourner, so I'm looking forward to it." She waved her hand and pointed behind her.

I saw the queen get up and come to the stage, she first saluted the queen mother, and then bowed slightly to the audience.

"This year's big award guest, the Queen Mother handed over to the concubine to choose, the concubine thought about it in every possible way, but in the end there was no result, but the day before yesterday I asked the saint, and the saint nominated a person, and the concubine thought it was true, so the candidate for this guest was appointed by the saint."

There was a sound of surprise below, I didn't expect that the guest of this year's award was actually hand-picked by the emperor, so this person's achievements must be extraordinary.

The Queen Mother said with a smile: "According to the rules of the West Palace every year, if anyone guesses the identity of this guest, the palace score can be upgraded to one level, that is, the feudal monarch can receive Zhaoyi's palace points, Zhaoyi can receive the palace points of the concubine, and if it is a concubine, he will receive double shares." ”

Someone below asked, "What if everyone guessed correctly?" ”

The Queen Mother was proud and said with a smile: "Then the mourning family will give everyone a promotion." ”

There was a round of applause.

The queen said to the following: "Okay, please write down the person you think in your hearts, wait and see who guesses!" ”

A palace maid brought paper and pen to each table, Yue'er picked up the pen, scratched her head, and wrote six words on the note.

Liu Shiyu wrote Baili Zhaoyi, she lived in the palace and the news was closed, and she didn't know much, so she couldn't guess it anyway, so she scribbled one.

During this interval, the Queen Mother turned her head and asked the Queen in a low voice.

"When will the emperor arrive?"

"The banquet in Jiying Hall is an hour earlier than here, and just now Gonggong Tong sent someone to report that the emperor's side is ending, and when he wants to come to the big reward, he can just arrive."

"Okay, I'm sorry for you this time."

"Thank you Queen Mother, this is what a concubine should do."

The Queen Mother nodded.

When everyone finished writing, the queen cleared her throat and said with a smile: "Okay, now the palace is here to announce the big prize, the person who won the big award this year is a special woman, she came from a humble background, but she is witty and brave, just a few days ago, she defeated the invincible princess of the Great Bird Country, won the honor for Da Kuo, and won the praise of the saint, who of you guessed it?" ”

Yue'er's heart moved suddenly, what she wrote was the little flower of the Frost Leaf Pavilion, because General Xin said that the emperor paid attention to his competition with the thirteenth princess, but she was dead, and this big reward would never reward a dead person.

A purple-clothed girl in the first row stood up, held up the note in her hand and said with a smile: "The concubine guessed it, the concubine guessed it!" ”

Li Fengjun pursed his lips and said, "That's Lin Zhaoyi, the emperor favors her, and it's not strange to tell her in private!" ”

The queen asked, "Oh, who did my sister write about?" ”

That Lin Zhaoyi had a wonderful figure, a snow-white complexion, and a very beautiful face, she held up the note in her hand and said, "I wrote about Mother Wang of the Frost Leaf Pavilion——"

The queen almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, the one who defeated the princess of the big bird country was obviously a little oiran, how could it be the old bustard of the Frost Leaf Pavilion, this Lin Zhaoyi obviously got the emperor's hint, but he actually answered wrong.

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Lin Zhaoyi, you are wrong, the mourning family has now guessed that it should be the little flower of the Frost Leaf Pavilion, she defeated the princess of the Great Bird Kingdom twice, and let their mission leave our capital in a gloomy manner, this is a miracle and deserves a big reward!" ”

The queen nodded and said, "Yes, it's the little Oiran of the Frost Leaf Pavilion!" ”

In fact, Lin Zhaoyi thought too much, she knew that the people who won the big awards in the past were all elderly women, if it weren't for Wang's mother with the little oiran, how could she defeat the princess of the big bird country, and as a result, she wrote Wang Niang with a thought.

The queen said regretfully: "Is there anyone else who answered correctly?" She looked around, and as far as she could see, no one squeaked.

Yue'er hesitated to stand up, held up her note, and said, "The concubine guessed right." But she was too far away, and the queen didn't see it for a while, but Li Fengjun and Liu Shiyu both showed jealousy.

Lin Zhaoyi pouted and said, "The concubine's answer is at least half right, and now everyone doesn't know, this reward should still be given to me, right?" ”

At this time, some people noticed movement behind them and turned their heads one after another.

The queen said in surprise: "Oh, someone answered correctly, which sister is it, please come to the front?" ”

Yue'er took the note she wrote, walked out of the crowd, and walked on the red carpet to the platform.

When the queen saw Yue'er's dress, her face suddenly changed, and everyone was shocked when they saw Yue'er, Lin Zhaoyi was ashamed, stomped her foot angrily, and sat down.

Yue'er took the note she wrote, walked to the stage, and knelt down respectfully.

"Concubine Duanyu, knock on the Queen Mother and the Queen, and wish the Queen Mother a better life than Nanshan and the Queen Mother's happiness like the East China Sea."

Duanyu is the name of Duanfei.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "It turned out to be Concubine Duan, why did you sit in the back, I heard that you were burned by charcoal and disfigured, and now you can recover?" ”

The queen was a little uncomfortable, she didn't plan to invite Concubine Duan to come today, she didn't expect her to come in, and what was even more uncomfortable was that the queen mother suddenly asked her why she sat in the back.

Yue'er said respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine has been treating after being burned, but the injury is too deep, and I am afraid that there is no hope of recovery." She didn't answer why she was sitting in the back.

The queen's face softened slightly.

The Queen Mother said regretfully: "You kid, it's really pitiful. Suddenly thought of something, patted his forehead, and said: "By the way, the mourning family almost forgot, this time the mission of the Big Bird Kingdom happened to bring a bottle of Snow Lotus Beauty and Muscle Cream, which is said to have a miraculous effect, and the mourning family can't use it, so I will reward it to you!" ”

The queen hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, this thing is precious, it was specially left for you by the emperor, only this bottle!" ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "The things of the big bird country, the mourning family doesn't want to use it, and it is chicken ribs to keep it, so it is better to give it to useful people." ”

The queen hurriedly explained: "The snow lotus is from the Chagatai Khanate, and it is true that it was sent by the mission of the Great Bird Country, but this is actually a gift from the Chagatai Khanate, and it was only entrusted to the mission of the Great Bird Country to bring it. ”

"That's the same."

The Queen Mother didn't care.

The queen said helplessly: "Concubine Duan, you haven't thanked the queen mother." ”

Yue'er knelt down and kowtowed three times in a row.

"Thank you Queen Mother, Queen Mother Chitose, Chitose, Chitose-"

At this time, a palace maid checked the note written by Yue'er, and sure enough, it was written by the little flower of the Frost Leaf Pavilion.

The queen waved her hand to Yue'er, motioned for her to step back first, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, now you want to invite that little oiran to receive the big reward, right?" ”

Yue'er was shocked, didn't she die buried in the well, how could there be a little Oiran?

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay, then invite the little Oiran into the hall—"

A eunuch took Yi's order, ran to the door of the palace, and said loudly: "Xuanshuang Ye Pavilion little flower Sang Yueyu enters the hall——"

Not long after, a girl walked into the hall, this girl wore plain big sleeves, with a cloud bun on her head, dressed up, it was Yue'er's usual appearance, but her appearance was completely different, she had a pair of apricot eyes, melon seed face, two lips slightly thicker, although there was a bit of posture, but not to mention Yue'er, it was worse than Murong Qi'er.
