Empress Dowager Zhong's smile at this time was like a spring breeze, and she beckoned with a smile: "Mingzhu, Jiaojiao, come up." ”

Gu Fanghua and Zhong Taojiao walked onto the small platform under the throne.

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Gu Fanghua with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of old ladies here today, Mingzhu, to give a salute to the old ladies." ”

Gu Fanghua generously stepped forward half a step forward and made a dignified gift: "Mingzhu has seen all the old ladies, I wish all the old ladies here a long life, peace and health." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled and praised: "Queen Mother, you are showing off your heart and soul baby again." Princess Mingzhu's excellence is obvious to all, but it can envy those of us who don't have daughters. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong replied with a smile: "You don't have a granddaughter, don't you have a granddaughter-in-law?" ”

"Also, my granddaughter-in-law is well-behaved and competitive, and she has only been in the door for a few months before she is pregnant. I hope that she will blossom first and then bear fruit, and give me a beautiful little granddaughter. ”

Mrs. Wang did not shy away from it, and publicly stated that she did not mind Bai Jinse giving birth to a daughter.

Her protective appearance made the wives who used to see Bai Jinse marrying Wang Lang and gloating over the disaster so regretted that their intestines were cleared.

Empress Dowager Zhong was amused by Mrs. Wang's words.

The eyes glanced at the old lady Duan below, and her expression was not very good. Then he asked, "Old Madam Duan, why didn't you bring your family Wanqing with you today?" She is the granddaughter-in-law of the mourning family, and the mourning family is still waiting for this cup of granddaughter-in-law's tea. ”

Old Madam Duan smiled and said: "The Queen Mother praised it falsely, Wanqing this girl, now she embroiders the dowry at home every day, and she doesn't go out." ”

"My daughter's family embroiders a dowry, Mrs. Fan, your granddaughter is also embroidering a dowry?"

Empress Dowager Zhong did not favor one over the other, and also asked the grandmother of the future fifth princess.

Mrs. Fan was flattered, a little timid, and a little proud: "Back to the Queen Mother, yes, Min'er has to be married by the emperor, and she is also happy to embroider the dowry at home." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong laughed heartily, and the other party's grandmother said: "Xiuchun, bring back the meeting gift prepared by the mourning family for the two granddaughters-in-law to the two old ladies." ”

Mama Fang clapped her hands, and two third-class palace maids, one holding a plate covered with red silk, came to the two old ladies.

Dongchun unveiled it in public, and the dazzling light almost blinded everyone's eyes.

It turned out that Empress Dowager Zhong was actually generous, and one person gave a set of red gold ruby heads. The purity of the ruby, as well as the craftsmanship of the red gold, are the craftsmanship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Mrs. Duan and Mrs. Fan were busy thanking their granddaughters.

Seeing that the banquet was about to start, the last guests to arrive were Kim Meizhen, the princess of Goryeo, and Mu Xuanxuan, the princess of Dali.

The two princesses first saluted the Empress Dowager Zhong and presented the specialties of their respective countries. Jin Meizhen sent a plant, a thousand-year-old ginseng with a full beard and a full tail, while Mu Xuanxuan sent a Buddha bone relic from Sakyamuni.

"I've seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is happy for a long time."

Empress Dowager Zhong instructed Mama Fang to accept it, and said with a smile: "The two princesses have come from afar, and the mourning family welcomes you on behalf of the emperor." If you have any needs, you can also tell the mourning family in the fold, and the mourning family will do their best. ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

After the two thanked each other in unison, they were led by Dongchun to sit on the small platform.

The banquet officially began, and the palace maids and chamberlains who rushed in quickly and steadily served all kinds of delicious dishes.

Immediately afterwards, the dancers of the palace music bureau danced, and everyone enjoyed the singing and dancing while having a happy meal.

Gu Fanghua glanced at Mu Xuanxuan and found that she was also wearing a bright red dress today, with a modified skirt that was charming and colorful, with a heroic face, a little nondescript.

Seeing Zhong Taojiao concentrating on eating, Gu Fanghua couldn't help but smile dumbly.

"Jiaojiao, that Mu Xuanxuan is right across from you, why don't you care at all? She's trying to dig into your corner. ”

Zhong Taojiao raised her head when she heard this, and whispered to Gu Fanghua in her ear: "Whatever you can snatch away is not yours." As for her appearance, Changxin doesn't like it either. ”

Gu Fanghua snickered and whispered: "Look, you wear red, she is also red, you bundle a golden crown, and she has a single screw." Either they're imitating you, or they're having some kind of conspiracy. ”

Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, Mu Xuanxuan took the lead in getting up and raising a glass and said: "Queen Mother, watching these songs and dances is too boring, it is better for me to perform a sword dance for the Queen Mother." ”

"Sword dance? Mu Xuanxuan, you want to perform a sword dance? It's okay to perform this, what do you need to tell Xiuchun, she arranges it for you. ”

Mu Xuanxuan got up, came to the middle of the hall, raised her hand and pointed at Zhong Taojiao.

"Queen Mother, I heard that Miss Zhong is brave and good at fighting, and I admire it very much. I also asked her to perform a sword dance with me, and let me see and understand. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong had a smile on her face, but a cold star flashed in her eyes. "So? Jiaojiao, would you like to? ”

Zhong Taojiao couldn't beg for it, got up and said, "Of course, I also want to appreciate the skills of Princess Dali." Mama Fang, you take a pair of swords and come out. ”

Mama Fang quickly came back with two swords, and Zhong Taojiao and Mu Xuanxuan took one at random.

In the main hall, the old lady who had heard about what happened at the door of the Zuiyue Building quietly and secretly looked at the two of them. It is not obvious when seen alone, but when the two of them stand together, the advantages and disadvantages of height are obvious.

Zhong Taojiao's red dress is heroic, her long body is jade, and the golden corolla on her head complements each other.

And Mu Xuanxuan's skirt, although it is already improved, can be towering breasts, highlighting in front of her, and her figure is even more graceful.

Mama Fang clapped her hands, and the orchestra played a song again.

"Zheng Zheng, Zheng Zheng Zheng ......"

The light music of the guzheng sounded, occasionally mixed with the crisp sound of the hammering, as well as various drums and bells, intertwined.

brought together a song "Ambush on All Sides".

Zhong Taojiao and Mu Xuanxuan greeted each other, and then Mu Xuanxuan took the lead, and the long sword was like silver in the air, sliding towards Zhong Taojiao.

In an instant, the two of them passed seven or eight moves, and outsiders only watched the two red shadows flashing back and forth, and they couldn't see the figures clearly at all.

Gu Fanghua is not worried at all, no matter how good Mu Xuanxuan's kung fu is, it is impossible to be better than Jiaojiao. As long as she's not using a hidden weapon, there's absolutely no problem.

At the same time, Lu Fei galloped all the way, following the marks left by Xiao Yao, and soon caught up with Xiao Yao.

"How? What's the news? ”

Lu Fei arched his hand and said: "Master, Lord Ye said that he doesn't know either." However, there is another news that has been confirmed that the old lady will take Miss Fang into the palace to participate in the peony banquet. ”

"What? Grandmother brought Fang Miaomiao into the palace? ”

Xiao Yao was secretly anxious, how could grandmother bring Fang Miaomiao into the palace? Isn't this the face of the Queen Mother?

Then he was transferred out of the capital, which should be what Empress Dowager Zhong meant.

Xiao Yao is worried about her grandmother, Empress Dowager Zhong is not a good person, if she angers her, her grandmother will not be able to eat and walk around.
