September 19 is coming soon, the Empress Dowager Gao was born in a family, and she is used to seeing wealth in the palace, and she is not interested in celebrating greatly, plus, on such a day, if you want to celebrate, Ji Shen does not say much in the harem, and the concubines above the concubine must be present, for the Empress Dowager Gao, this is tantamount to adding to her blockage, Rao is that she has repeatedly stated that she is not allowed to do a big deal, but among the people who should go, there are always those she does not want to see, for example, the mother of the two princesses.

Mu Biwei is a little better, in the end, she is also a lady, and she has never openly disobeyed the Queen Mother's intentions, that is, in the Ouyang family's matter, the Empress Dowager Gao also knew that it was all the handiwork of the He family.

And the Sun family is disgusted by the Empress Dowager Gao, but there is no help, the Sun family is now the right Zhaoyi, second only to the left Zhaoyi Qu, although her daughter Princess Xintai is not the eldest daughter of the emperor, but she is a woman who is more noble than Princess Xiping.

Ji Shen has so far had two daughters under his knees, her grandmother's birthday, or her fifty birthday, asked her granddaughter not to attend, it is not good-looking, the princesses are not very old, and they can't do without the care of their mothers, not to mention that the royal family also wants royal decency, such an occasion openly sent You Zhaoyi out, and the Empress Dowager Gao felt that it was not a shameful thing.

Moreover, she also needs to consider Ji Shen's mood.

Therefore, although he got up early on this day, he made up strictly, from Song Xianren - since the death of Si Mo Xianxian and Tsing Yi Xiao, the Empress Dowager Gao was sad, and the Song family was promoted from Tsing Yi to the middle envoy, and after the death of Fang Xianren, he simply became a sage - down, the entire palace people in the Heyi Palace changed into new and gorgeous palace clothes, and all of them kept saying auspicious words, but the Empress Dowager Gao was still depressed, but fortunately, Concubine Wen arrived early after breakfast, and talked about many interesting things in the past while watching the Queen Mother's makeup, Only then did Empress Dowager Gao have a sincere smile on her face when she arrived at the main hall.

But there were already some people in the main hall who had arrived first.

Empress Dowager Gao was surrounded by Concubine Wen and Song Xianren in the middle, sat down on the jade seat on the palace, swept her eyes at His Highness, and saw that the place closest to her was sitting her only grown daughter, Princess Xuanning, beside Lou Xun and a boy slightly younger than Lou Xun, who was the second son of Princess Xuanning and Lou Wangu.

Under the eldest princess of Xuanning, there is an empty seat, but there is a young lady wearing a red-colored jade-colored pomegranate pattern collared shirt, a jade belt, and a gorgeous phoenix tail skirt, this woman also has children next to her, but it is a man and a woman, the girl is slightly older, about eleven or twelve years old, but her appearance is not very similar to that noblewoman, but her bearing is like that, they are all a faction, and they do not lose the majesty of the royal family - this is the princess Guangling, the wife of the king of Guangling, and the half-sister of Zuo Zhaoyi Qu's sister, Qu Bosu.

The children brought by Princess Guangling are all from her, and the girl is the lord of Aiyang County who presented the so-called phoenix wearing peony embroidery screen to the Empress Dowager Gao two years ago, and the boy is the prince of Guangling, who is now only nine years old, named Ji Yue.

After the first emperor ascended the throne, because he felt that his life was short, in order not to leave Ji Shen with trouble, he reigned for a few years, in addition to trying to win over and restrict the family, he single-mindedly killed all those older and talented, or prestige clans.

So today's clan is very withered, and no one is qualified to wait for the queen mother in the main hall, Princess Guangling, there are only a few obviously restrained noblewomen, not very old, but they are a few county lords or princesses of the princesses of the first emperor's generation - the first emperor is quite tolerant of the sisters who have not interfered with the position of the prince, and among the daughters of the ancestors, there are also those who teach their children to be particularly attentive, and several county kings are the first emperor and Ji Shencai to be enthroned after the edict, which is also for Ji Shen to win people's hearts.

On the other side of the eldest princess of Xuanning, the first is Zuo Zhaoyi Qu, Qu and Princess Guangling's mother, they are actually very similar, but they are far less beautiful than Qu Bosu, and their facial features are very similar.

She should be right Zhaoyi Sun's place but it is still empty, it is like Princess Anping is late, for Princess Anping's lateness, Empress Dowager Gao did not show any displeasure, but when she saw the vacancy on Sun's table, Empress Dowager Gao's eyebrows quickly wrinkled, and further down, Tang has no children, and Empress Dowager Gao also dislikes her, naturally she does not have to come, but it is Mu Biwei's turn.

Mu Biwei wore a begonia red brocade gold placket wide-sleeved shirt, the sleeves are embroidered with gold thread full of wishful lines, the jade belt around the waist is light, and it seems to be full of grips, the jade belt gold hook is the two longevity peaches spelled out of the red jade jade, crystal luster, lifelike, drag the lotus color to stay in the fairy skirt, the skirt is embroidered with dozens of cranes that fly or perch or look back or straighten the wings, mixed with pines and cypresses in the middle, the embroidery is extremely good, occasionally the wind passes through the hall, blows the skirt, and it seems that there is a crane that wants to break the skirt and come out.

She combed a very simple fallen horse bun, no more and no less, not losing the noble status of the favorite concubine in the palace and the adoptive mother of Princess Xiping, but she did not suppress Zuo Zhaoyi, who has always advocated lightness, and did not give people a sense of sharpness.

Princess Xiping, who knelt down and saluted at her hand, was a ethereal dress, embroidered with countless longevity words with gold threads, a little bit of each longevity word, or silk threads with all kinds of jewelry, and a red gold peony Yingluo circle was hung on the chest.

Empress Dowager Gao's eyes paused on Princess Xiping, and saw that although she had been kneeling down with Mu Biwei for a while, she was still in stable shape, obviously in good health, and she was dressed without losing the dignity of a princess, so she eased up a little, and then saw Lie Rong Cui's family, several women who she personally selected into the palace that year, and Shen Imperial Girl, and then said loudly: "Get up." ”

Because today is her fiftieth birthday, although it is not the time to pay a serious birthday salute, it is normal to salute for such a long time, and everyone did not feel embarrassed, but Mu Biwei still noticed the displeasure of the Empress Dowager Gao when she found out that the Sun family had not yet arrived, and she understood what the Sun family did to be late - before the Empress Dowager Gao came out, I am afraid that no one in this palace will see the Sun family, and after the Empress Dowager Gao comes out, she will not let go of the Sun family, all in all, on the 19th of September, it is clear that it is a very sad day for the Sun family, and naturally the later the embarrassment, the better- Anyway, no matter how diligent she is, the Empress Dowager Gao will not like her, so it is better to be as late as possible when the rules allow her to not be questioned, not only to prove to everyone that she is favored and fearless, but also to avoid being besieged by everyone too early.

Mu Biwei led Xiping back to the seat, and listened to the Empress Dowager Gao say to the eldest princess of Xuanning leisurely: "You also came so early?" The day before yesterday, I heard that Toulang was sick, didn't the mourning family make someone say, don't you have to come here today? ”

"The queen mother feels sorry for her daughter, and the daughter also thinks about the queen mother." The eldest princess Xuanning is the only daughter who grew up under the knees of the Empress Dowager Gao, and she has been liked by the Empress Dowager Gao since she was a child, and she speaks freely, so the eldest princess smiled and said, "Xu is the reason for the mother's birthday today, the original imperial doctor said that Toulang would have to be fine in two or three days, and he didn't want his daughter to go to see it this morning, but he was fine, and he ordered the people around him to dress him early, and he was going to the palace to pay his grandmother's birthday - this is the blessing of the queen mother!" ”

Said and glanced at Lou Tou, this Lou Tou does not look as good as his brother Lou Patrol spirit, slightly weak, but also very clever, received his mother's signal, immediately out of the line salute, sweetly said: "Grandson Lou Tou, I wish my grandmother a blessing like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan!" ”

When Empress Dowager Gao heard this, she smiled for a while, and said kindly: "Good boy, the mourning family knows your intentions, and you are still thinking about the mourning family when you are sick." "I hated the eldest princess Xuanning again, "Although Toulang is good, he is also good, why do you still ask him to salute?" If you don't feel distressed, you can't give up your mourning family! ”
