Lan Yi only felt that a stream of blood rushed straight to Tianlinggai, does this mother and son like to force people to a dead end so much, she Pei Lanyi didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, and Qi Wangfu didn't say that it wouldn't work without her, why did she have to force people to do something "Heshun and well-behaved" side concubines? Counting up a few dynasties, giving the prince a concubine, I have never seen such a big battle and so domineering.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the courtiers also know the words of the matchmaker of their parents, and the marriage is not up to the courtiers themselves, but if it is a holy decree of the emperor, the courtiers and His Royal Highness are blindly married and dumb marriages, that is also caused by the number of lives, and the courtiers have no complaints, but since the noble concubine Niangniang has already chosen a concubine for His Royal Highness and the four princes with great fanfare, she is looking for something suitable in all aspects, since the courtiers have her mother's life in her body, she will go straight to the position of the main room wholeheartedly, and it is not suitable for you, why bother to twist this melon?"

The words in her heart have been suppressed for a long time, and after saying it so clearly, Wei Changyuan finally understood, although she was full of "mother's life", but her expression and attitude were that she didn't want to marry or not.

"Pei Lanyi, do you know what the word 'King Qi' represents?"

Lan Yi bowed, his eyes firm, "Of course the courtiers know that the word 'Qi' was placed in the past, which was a title that could have a fief, far more noble than other good-looking words, these two words represent the honor and light on your body, but for the courtiers, even if you have a thousand rays of light, you can't give the courtiers a wife, so the courtiers are not worthy of you, nor are they worthy of you." ”

Temptations and threats have been used, and there is no other way to deal with the woman Wei Changyuan, and suddenly a little annoyance sprouts.

The dignified King of Qi, who has been proud of his scenery for so many years, has lost his dignity in front of a little courtier's daughter, those glories, the people in front of him don't care at all, as if he is not as good as an ordinary person.

If you say it again, you will no longer be a little roundabout and polite, "This king sees that you have a stubborn temperament, and you are indeed not worthy of entering the Qi Palace, but Pei Lanyi, you remember that one day you will regret saying these words, but unfortunately no matter how you want to return to today, it will be too late." ”

Lan Yi took a deep breath, "Regret or not regret this path is chosen by the courtiers themselves, if His Royal Highness the King of Qi has nothing else to do, the courtiers will retire." ”

Wei Changyuan waved his hand directly, as if he was so disgusted that he didn't even want to say any more superfluous words, Lan Yi still saluted in a proper manner, and then turned around and walked into Qihua Palace.

That's fine, if they don't make it clear, they always have a way to control themselves, and now they make it clear, at most, their reputation is worse, and it's a big deal to marry late or far.

In this world, there are far more things in the eyes of men than women, and the things that people in high positions compete for are not what ordinary people can think of. She Pei Lanyi is just a small fish and shrimp, and her momentary ambition falls in the eyes of Ying Guifei, at most, the girl's family is young and ignorant, and she can be a favorite concubine for so many years by the side of an emperor like today's Shengshang, Ying Guifei will not hold a grudge, and Wei Changyuan is a person who has the world in his eyes, it is estimated that in another three or five years, he will not even forget who "Pei Lanyi" is.

There were also little eunuchs in Qihua Palace to guide the way, and when they arrived at the banquet, Wan Yin first took a closer look, and when she saw that she was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Wanyu asked, "Sister Lan Yi, have you embarrassed His Royal Highness King Qi?" ”

Lan Yi shook his head with a smile, and was silent about what had just happened, only picking up other things.

This is bitter Pei Miaoqing, she thought that Lan Yi and Wei Changyuan had already decided on the marriage event, but she had not yet settled, she was originally a concubine, not because there were not many school-age women in Beijing, she couldn't come here at all, and she was suppressed just now, so she could only restrain and restrain in action.

She wanted to open her mouth to ask Lan Yi, but she didn't know how to show that she was just inadvertent, and when she was hesitating, the voice of the eunuch singing sounded high.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

"The concubine has arrived—"

Both of them are first-class honorable women in the harem at the moment, and Lan Yi and the others hurriedly got up and saluted. As the rumors say, the queen has not been in good health, and her face is too delicate and elegant, and she looks delicate. When they walked over like this, they were all carried by others, and the palace maids behind them were all cautious, obviously afraid that the queen would not be able to hold on for a while and make some jokes.

In comparison, the following Ying Guifei was full of energy, walking quite imposingly, and when she saluted the queen, her chin was slightly raised, although she did not completely show her arrogance, but she could see a slight reversal of dignity and inferiority.

After them, some concubines came one after another, including the biological mother and concubine of the eldest prince, Fang Zhaoyi, the biological mother of the seventh prince, and the concubine Ke, the mother of the ninth prince.

Everyone gradually sat down, Qihua Palace was lively for a while, and the queen's plain face showed a slight smile, "Today's festival, seeing the young children sitting in such flowers, this palace also feels younger." ”

He Concubine leaned up and said: "Niangniang is still young, naturally these children are all beautiful, even the concubines are happy when they see it." ”

Concubine Ying smiled, closed the teacup in her hand, put it on the table, and asked, "What, Concubine He wants to pick two more good ones for the eldest prince to put in the mansion?" ”

Concubine He was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Isn't this the emperor's grace to Niangniang?" The concubines won't join in the fun. ”

has always chosen the princess, it is a holy decree of the emperor, and the matter is decided, and such a big battle is nothing more than a demonstration of the weight of Ying Guifei in the emperor's heart, and the concubine is not wrong, but Ying Guifei is not used to seeing that she has always loved to hold the queen, so she has to say, "Look at what the concubine sister said, it seems that the three princes of the queen are not taken seriously, in fact, the three princes can not pick one of the three princes when they choose the princess in this way." ”

Concubine He was anxious, and hurriedly looked at the queen, "Niangniang, the concubine doesn't mean this, the three princes and the four princes are all the emperor's children, and the emperor values them the same." ”

The queen knew that she was not very good at speaking, so she smiled faintly, "This palace knows what you mean, so there is no need to say it." Then she looked at Concubine Ying again, "Recently, my sister has been working more on the chores of the harem, and her face is not as bright as before, look at such young children, or they will go back to the past." ”

Concubine Ying sneered, "Back to the queen's words, the concubines are not for the affairs of the harem, but for the five princes of the concubines. ”

Mentioning this, the spearhead went straight to the three princes, the queen knew that if she had a dispute with Ying Guifei in this matter, the emperor would inevitably stand on her side, sighed in her heart, and only said: "Changjun that child, this palace is also a pity, today's big festival, I won't mention it." Fang Zhaoyi, you have always loved to eat this fruit, come to someone, bring this plate of the palace to Zhaoyi. ”

She changed the topic, and Concubine Ying did not continue to be aggressive, but in the eyes of everyone, the queen was still behind, and she had never been able to suppress Concubine Ying's edge, and it had always been like this for so many years.

And many concubines are also clear in their hearts, and their respect for the queen is all superficial respect to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

Lan Yi sat down a few people, watching a few ladies come and go, the atmosphere did not dare to come out, a few famous ladies were called over to give a gift to the ladies and girls, Lan saw that his friend Mu Hesheng was also among them, Ying Guifei was very satisfied with her, praised a few words, although the queen said little, but the eyes of several noble girls were also quite satisfied, it seemed that the two ladies had forgotten the girls of the Pei family and the Fang family.

This is exactly what Lan wants, if the person who is decided at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet does not have her, he will be safe and worry-free in the future. At this time, there was another singing, and the emperor arrived.

Lan Yi got up, made a big salute, and greeted and prayed long live with the ladies and relatives, and through the screen, she faintly saw that there were people in bright yellow clothes over there who walked up to that supreme position under the respectful embrace of everyone.

Xingjia Emperor Wei Yongcang is in the prime of life, and his many years of imperial career have made his gestures with a terrifying power, which Wei Changyuan is still far from reaching, he sat down, waved his hand, and said: "Everyone, Aiqing, just get even." Today's festival, there is no need to be too rigid about the number of rituals. ”

said so, but no one dared to really be uninhibited, and only after honestly thanking him did he get up one after another.

A banquet, the palace maids will be steaming vegetables and fish, the palace food is often very good, the meaning is excellent, but not very delicious, Wanyu on the small table on a chopsticks tasted, then put down to Lan Yi ear and said: "I taste the general, it is better for us to get a small stove shabu meat." ”

Lan Yi pushed her with a smile and said in a low voice: "Taste is secondary, what matters is the grace of the heavenly family, you can't leak what you don't like." ”

Wanyu picked up the chopsticks again, but she didn't eat much, and only said: "I heard that this year's palace banquet, my uncle is also here for the first time?" ”

Lan Yi bowed his head, "Daddy is just an official of the fifth grade, if it weren't for the Pei family attracting a lot of attention in recent months, and having a future like 'Soldier Squire', Daddy wouldn't be able to come to this palace banquet." This is the emperor's reward for my Pei family, speaking of which, Daddy is different from other five-grade officials. ”

The sound of silk and bamboo during the banquet masked the discussion between the two sisters. The scene of so many people staggering is the first time to see, everyone is inevitably a little novel and excited, although the female relatives are separated by the screen, but they are also whispering, and many people do not hide their eyes, looking at the place where the prince is present.

And said that Dashun to Xingjia years, the prince opened the mansion and even married the concubine at an age not early, it is the emperor specially changed the rules, because he has many heirs, and he is in the prime of life, and he is not in a hurry to make plans for the continuation of all generations, and he said on the face that he should experience more experience and experience, and then go out of the palace to start a family. Su Wang Wei Changqi and Qi Wang Wei Changyuan were both canonized at the end of the year, and some courtiers speculated that now that Concubine Ying was favored, most of the four princes would be crowned at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.
