The queen mother's birthday is naturally indispensable for singing, dancing and opera. After the famous troupe of this dynasty has performed a few plays, the people who love to watch the drama in the banquet are full of interest and are in a very good mood.

However, Lin Yingxue glanced at the Queen Mother, from the beginning of the banquet to the present, the Queen Mother has always had a smile on her face, but this kind of smile makes no difference to everyone, it is obvious that although the Queen Mother is happy today, she is not particularly happy.

I don't know if the congratulatory gift she prepared for the Empress Dowager next, whether the Empress Dowager will be happier or sad when she sees it. Lin Yingxue was thinking that Murong Jun over there saw that the time was almost up, so she stood up.

"Grandma, the next thing is the congratulatory gift that Jun'er has prepared for you, I hope Grandma can like it." Looking at Murong Jun's confident appearance, Lin Yingxue sometimes even wondered if Murong Jun had already known about the things she had arranged, otherwise why wouldn't the people in front of her worry at all?

Murong Jun's guanzi has been sold for so long, and now it's finally time to uncover the mystery, and after everyone heard about it, they immediately cheered up.

After Murong Jun stepped back, a group of people came to the originally empty stage.

Is it just a play? Seeing this, everyone was immediately a little disappointed, after all, they had already seen the best drama troupes in the imperial city, even if the team invited by Murong Jun was good, how good could it be?

Just when everyone was disappointed, the crowd didn't know who let out a soft 'huh', and then everyone quickly realized that something was wrong on the stage - although the faces of those people on the stage were covered with thick fat powder, it could still be seen that they were all elderly people.

It's not surprising that there are old students and old Dans in a troupe, but it's a bit strange that this troupe is all elderly!

Just when everyone's faces were full of surprise and they were talking in private, no one noticed that the Empress Dowager's complexion gradually began to change slightly.

The slave looked at these people as if they were the world-famous Ruyi team many years ago! At that time, after the Ruyi class was dispersed, there had been no drama troupe in the world that could compare to the Ruyi class for many years, and even the two opera troupes that are now famous in the imperial city were incomparable to the Ruyi class in their heyday! His Royal Highness is really attentive, and after many years, he gathered this troupe that had already been disbanded! ”

After watching it for a while, an older palace person finally recognized this troupe, but there were still people who whispered disdainfully: "Even if they are gathered, what if they are gathered, these people are all old, and they can no longer play the style of the past, what's the use of just holding on to a past name!" ”

The words spoken by this person can be regarded as speaking to the hearts of everyone, and for a while, the people sitting near this person nodded their heads in agreement.

Lin Yingxue sat in the crowd and took these whispered discussions into her ears, as the leader of this matter, she didn't care, because this play was originally only for the Queen Mother alone, it didn't matter if others liked it or not, as long as the Queen Mother liked it.

This play is a famous play in the troupe, Liang Zhu. was originally a touching play, because it was all old horns, everyone looked drowsy and couldn't raise their interest at all, only the original cloudy eyes of the Queen Mother suddenly became bright, and there seemed to be tears flashing in them.

But the shiny thing was no longer visible after the play was over, as if she had been mistaken from the beginning. Lin Yingxue withdrew her gaze from the Empress Dowager, and at this time, everyone on the stage had gathered together to take a curtain call.

"This play is wonderful, but it is lacking in the selection of people, I don't know why the third child chose such a group of people to play such a play?" At the end of a play, the emperor finally couldn't help but spit out the question he had been holding back for a long time.

"Back to ......"

"This is the favorite drama troupe of the Ancestor Emperor and the Mourning Family when they were young, and this play is also the favorite play of the Mourning Family and the Ancestor Emperor." As soon as Murong Jun stood up, before he could answer, the voice of the Empress Dowager sounded faintly on the side.

After everyone heard this, they suddenly had a feeling of sudden realization.

The emperor nodded again and again when he heard this, and involuntarily praised: "The third child has a heart, and he can actually think of an ingenious congratulatory gift." ”

How many generations apart are Murong Jun and the Empress Dowager, how can he really understand the Empress Dowager's thoughts like that? Today's play, if there was no Lin Yingxue, he would never have thought of it.

Thinking like this, Murong Jun couldn't help but step forward and said loudly: "Actually, there is another person who prepares this congratulatory gift today, and the son is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”

It wasn't Murong Jun who came up with it! The emperor and everyone were surprised in their hearts, and the queen couldn't help but ask: "Then I don't know who this person with a heart is?" ”

Lin Yingxue didn't expect Murong Jun to push her out in the end, but at this time, even if she wanted to stop it, it was too late, because Murong Jun had already set his eyes on her, and slowly pointed out her identity: "This person is the fifth lady of the Lin family, Lin Yingxue." ”

There are many famous families in the imperial city, the daughter of a small official Shangshu, and she is also a concubine, it can be said that if there is no today, many people have not even heard of the name Lin Yingxue.

Seeing that today's limelight was out of the limelight, Lin Yingxue had no choice but to get up and walk out and salute the few people sitting on the top, "The courtier Lin Yingxue has seen the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen mother." She folded her hands in front of her, leaned forward, and tapped the back of her hand with her forehead, and said aloud.

"Hurry up, come to the mourning family, let the mourning family take a good look, what a clever girl she is!"

The ancestor emperor died for many years, leaving only the empress dowager alone in the world. When the old people around him are gradually leaving, loneliness and loneliness inevitably follow, even though the grandchildren below are respectful and filial, but the years belonging to the empress dowager have passed after all.

No one can talk to her about the past anymore, even if she is surrounded by beautiful clothes and food, food and clothing, but the loneliness in her heart cannot be filled by these things outside her body, so what Lin Yingxue is doing today is actually just to use this troupe to build a bridge between the past and the present, so that the Empress Dowager can relive her past years.

This heartfelt congratulatory gift is undoubtedly the most desired and the best congratulatory gift in the heart of the Queen Mother.

Because of this, the Empress Dowager couldn't wait to see who this person who knew her so well was.

"Yes." Lin Yingxue answered softly, got up and slowly walked towards the side of the Queen Mother.

In fact, she didn't know the Queen Mother as much as everyone imagined, she was just by the side of the Queen Mother in her previous life, the Queen Mother sighed to her, and said that her favorite when she was young was Liang Zhu, who performed in the Ruyi class back then, no matter how many times she watched it, she was not annoyed, so now she can successfully ask for a trick in front of the Queen Mother.

"Sure enough, it's a smart girl, and she looks young, how old are you this year?" The Empress Dowager looked at Lin Yingxue happily as if she was looking at a baby.

Lin Yingxue hurriedly lowered her head and replied obediently: "It's going to be thirteen soon." ”

"Good, good." The Empress Dowager said three good words in a row, as if she was extremely happy, and asked softly: "The idea you gave Jun'er, the mourning family is very satisfied, you tell the mourning family, what reward do you want?" ”

Lin Yingxue really hadn't thought about the reward, after all, she didn't even expect that Murong Jun would push her out today, "Back to the Empress Dowager," she replied after thinking about it: "As long as the Empress Dowager is happy, it will be a great relief for Yingxue, Yingxue doesn't need other rewards." ”

What's more, with the Empress Dowager's favor today, it is enough to make her status in the Lin family improve a lot, and other gold, silver and jewelry are nothing compared to this.

"This kid has such a sweet mouth." The Empress Dowager kept holding Lin Yingxue's hand when she spoke, obviously she was really happy with Lin Yingxue, "You are the same age as Yue'er, don't call the Empress Dowager of the Mourning Family in the future, just call the Mourning Grandma like Yue'er." The mourning family sees that you have a good relationship with Yue'er, and you can often go to the palace with Yue'er to see the mourning family in the future. ”

As soon as the Empress Dowager's words came out, many of the concubines and concubines who came to the banquet were so jealous that they were about to crush their teeth - what a great honor it is to be appreciated by the Empress Dowager, only as concubines can they deeply understand how important power and backing are to them!

After saying this, the Empress Dowager saw that Lin Yingxue was dressed plainly, so she rewarded Lin Yingxue with some precious jewelry, and finally made an exception for Lin Yingxue to stay and sit next to Murong Yue.

With such a grand banquet today, almost half of the masters of the Lin family came, and Lin Yingling and the Song family, who were sitting below, looked at Lin Yingxue sitting on the distant top and smiling with the Empress Dowager, and they only felt that their eyes were stinging!

"What a cunning little slut who gets on her thighs without paying attention! When she returns to the Lin family in the future, with her friendship with the royal family, the lord will definitely pay a lot more attention to her, and it will be more and more difficult to clean her up like last time in the future! When Song said this, he almost hated it.

Lin Yingling and Song Ziqian on the side, their faces were not much better.

Different from the liveliness and thoughtfulness of the banquet, today's palace people are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground for this banquet, for fear that something will go wrong and they will be guilty of killing their heads when the time comes.

"Alas, you guys, hurry up, it's time to serve the dishes soon, go to the imperial dining room to see if those dishes are ready, if something goes wrong in a while, see if I don't peel your skin!" Because he was too busy, the father-in-law in charge was extremely angry today, and he was even more ruthless when he scolded people.

The surrounding palace people all lowered their heads and walked quickly, for fear that as long as they were slower, they would be scolded for being scolded.

The steward's mouth was dry, and when he turned around, he found that one tall and one short, two women serving as palace maids were walking towards the direction of the queen mother's banquet with empty hands, and he hurriedly couldn't help but scold: "Eh, what are you two responsible for?" Stop me! ”

When the two women heard this, they suddenly stopped like two frightened rabbits, but their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

The eunuch glanced at the shorter little palace maid, and said to himself suspiciously: "The palace has not selected new people to come in recently, where did such a small palace maid come from?" ”

As he was talking, the back of the palace man's head suddenly ached, and then his eyes went black, and his body fell to the ground limply.
