The queen walked in with a group of people.

I saw that she was wearing a red and gold two-color silk Luan Niao Chaofeng embroidered court dress, with clusters of peonies embroidered with gold and silver threads on her sleeves, and then decorated with jade jade and bright red agate, which was extremely bright. The skirt has a robe, the back hem is mopping the floor, and even the skirt is embroidered with a silver phoenix pattern, which is extremely beautiful.

Her black hair is curled, and the wearer is a gold-plated phoenix hairpin, and a sunrise five phoenix hanging beaded hairpin. The face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sideburns are like a knife, the eyebrows are extended, a pair of triangular phoenix eyes, the tail of the eyes is hanging, and it does not contain autumn waves, but it is flattering and natural, awe-inspiring.

Queen Lian walked in, and everyone stood up one after another, made a big salute, and said, "See the queen mother." ”

But the queen raised her head slightly from beginning to end, and there was no trace of warmth in her eyes, as if a layer of frost was about to form a layer of frost as far as her eyes could reach.

Shi Qingqian secretly looked up at the queen, and sighed in his heart, this queen is really extremely luxurious and beautiful, and the jade jewelry she is all over is still priceless, it is not difficult to imagine how the Ningshou Palace where she lives should be full of gold and jade, and the splendid floor.

The arrogance of the queen mother seems to be natural, she has long been accustomed to the submission of everyone to her, so she can walk without changing her face before the bows of more than 100 people on both sides.

In contrast, the prince of brocade clothes following behind her seemed a bit of a fox and a tiger.

Shi Qingqian looked at Shen Xuan, who was standing behind the queen's oblique side, his head raised so that he was about to face the ceiling. I haven't seen you for a long time, but this Shen Xuan has gained a lot of weight, and he looks like a funny golden ball. I don't know how such a cheap meat ball could have fallen from the queen's body.

The queen slowly walked up to the side of the main hall, and when she turned around, she waved her robe, so imposing. She placed her hand with a jeweled nail cover on the handle of the chair, and then spoke unhurriedly: "Flat—"

Only then did the people in the temple dare to raise their heads and sit back in their seats.

As soon as a few courtiers who had climbed the queen sat down, they couldn't wait to ask for warmth, but it was precisely because of them that the hall would not seem too quiet.

Since the queen has begun to chat, those officials who are not used to seeing the queen's henchmen have naturally started talking, but the atmosphere is always a little depressing, not as good as the queen at all. A tenth before coming in.

"This queen is too jeweled......"

Shi Qingqian leaned over and whispered to Shi Ke. feels that she is clearly showing off her family business, but no one can stand her.

Shi Ke nodded, "After all, she is the mother of a country, and other people don't dare to show off even if they have so many jewels." ”

Shi Qingqian secretly glanced at the expressions of Shen Mi and the fifth princess, and saw that they were all expressionless, and even felt a little bored.

It seems that the power of the queen's party is so great that it really overwhelms the rest of the people.

Regarding their royal disputes, Shi Qingqian didn't know the inside story, but she had seen a lot of them, and she could guess one or two just by guessing.

The root of the so-called partisan strife began when the queen desperately pushed Shen Xuan to the position of crown prince.

The crown prince was stupid and couldn't take on this big responsibility, but the emperor Shen Lun was afraid of the power of the queen's family, so he had to make Shen Xuan the crown prince. Therefore, the people who did not cling to the queen formed their own faction and began to find ways to weaken the power of his Ran family.

Shen Mi and the fifth princess are naturally not people who will cling to the queen, and looking at their performance at this moment, they are also very unpleasant. The fifth princess is Shen Lun's favorite little princess, but she was not born to the queen, and although Shen Mi is a little unreliable on weekdays, she can also be called the best among the princes.

If he simply prefers to travel in the mountains and rivers and ignore political affairs, it would be fine, but he has been arranged by the emperor to enter the Xuanshi Hall in recent days, and he will naturally become a thorn in the queen's side.

It has always been that only the crown prince is qualified to enter the Xuanshi Palace, but this Shen Xuan has never entered.

Shi Qingqian thought in his heart that the two brothers and sisters lived in the shadow of the queen all day long, and they were afraid that life would not be easy.

"The queen mother, the courtiers haven't seen you for many days, and I miss you very much," a flattering voice suddenly came from the main hall, and everyone looked over, but found that it was Jiang Yuhua sitting on the second seat.

"The courtiers knew that the incense of Niangniang was a unique in the world, so she specially ordered someone to create a small incense burner of pure gold." As she spoke, Jiang Yuhua waved her hand, and her maidservant Xing'er held the tray and presented it to the queen respectfully.

Shi Qingqian had a general expression of what he had eaten, "This sycophant!" ”

Shi Ke, Shen Mi and the others also had the same expressions on their faces, this Jiang Yuhua is really a sycophant who can drill at every turn. As the younger sister of Concubine Shugui, she also tried her best to cling to the queen, she wanted to be left and right, and she would definitely end up in the end.

The maid beside the queen gently opened the lid of the hibiscus box, and the queen only leaned over to take a look, and then waved for someone to accept it.

"You girl, you really have a heart." Every time the queen spoke, she glanced at Shi Qingqian and them, and said, "The children of other families are sometimes more sensible than their own children. ”

When Shen Mi and the fifth princess heard this, their faces suddenly became ugly, but they seemed to be still patient, and the movements on their bodies were only slightly stunned, so they began to continue drinking tea.

At first glance, the queen seemed to blame the princes and princesses in the palace for not paying enough attention to her and failing to fulfill their filial piety. But these are all ministers of civil and military affairs, how can they not know what the queen means by her words?

Competing with her son, Prince Shen Xuan, for the throne is unfilial.

If you don't listen to her casual flattery, you are unfilial.

Shi Qingqian unconsciously squeezed Shi Ke's hand, she had never felt that she was so lucky and happy to be born in the Hou Mansion and stay away from strife.

"The emperor has arrived—"

The eunuch outside the door broke the embarrassing atmosphere in the banquet hall in time.

Everyone hurriedly got up and saluted after Emperor Shen Lun entered the main hall.

Shen Lun went straight to the main seat and kindly told everyone to calm down.

"Today's winter banquet will last for three days, tonight Aiqing will eat and drink at will, and tomorrow, it will be the long-awaited winter hunt-" Shen Lun sat on the dragon chair, majestic and dignified, but not close to the people.

Shi Qingqian noticed that the emperor hadn't looked at the queen since he entered the banquet hall, and even if she was sitting beside her at this time, Shen Lun didn't squint from beginning to end, even Shen Xuan under the steps, he didn't look at it directly.

It seems that the relationship between the emperor and the queen is indeed incompatible. It's a pity that the power of the queen's Ran clan is too huge, and this kind of thing can't be done after the abolition.

Shen Lun's arrival eased the anger in the banquet hall a lot, and Shen Mi and the five princesses and other princes seemed to be in a better mood after greeting Shen Lun, and they also had a little smile on their faces when they returned to their seats.

Just when he was bored, the eunuch outside the door suddenly trotted into the hall, knelt in front of the emperor, and before Shen Lun could ask him why he was so flustered, he was sullen and said loudly:

"Your Majesty! Lord Yan is back—"
