The full moon banquet is May 14th, it is a sunny day, the wind is smooth, the flowers and trees in the Ganquan Palace are luxuriant, the laughter is continuous, and everywhere is full of joy.

The concubines above the palace concubines, except for Sun's unsurprising illness, all have to go to the Heyi Hall to celebrate the full moon of the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's third daughter.

Early in the morning, Mu Biwei dressed up with makeup, and carefully decorated Princess Xiping, and took her to the Heyi Palace early, the Empress Dowager Gao is in good spirits on a happy occasion today, and earlier said that in order to guard Xiao He Meiren's production is tired of lying on the couch, and taking care of the emperor and grandson when she is sick, this will look much better, Mu Biwei entered the palace, and saw that she was wearing a full set of clothes that the Queen Mother would only wear when she accepted the court, and the slightly lower position was on Concubine Wen dressed in a honey-colored palace dress, dignified and elegant, holding the third daughter of the emperor in her arms, Ji Shen was easy to look forward to the eldest son of the emperor, But he was hugged by the Empress Dowager Gao herself, looking at it with love and pity, and the love that was full of eyes and hearts could not be hidden.

Because Mu Biwei arrived early, the concubine clan had not yet arrived, but there was a woman in a gorgeous brocade robe, slightly older than the Empress Dowager Gao, who was already sitting on the seat in front of the head, and when she saw Mu Biwei, she turned her head, and her eyebrows were quite similar to the Empress Dowager Gao, but she was more sharp than the Empress Dowager Gao.

This woman, Mu Biwei, looked at her eyes, and secretly said that she had never seen such a woman in the past two years......

Mu Biwei and Xiping finished their salutes to Empress Dowager Gao and Concubine Wen, and Empress Dowager Gao said: "This is the eldest sister of the mourning family, Mrs. Wuyingjun." ”

Mrs. Jun is the first class among the women, and the princess is above, plus she is the eldest sister of the queen mother, Mu Biwei bowed slightly, the lady bowed her head at the table, returned the half salute, her eyes turned on Xiping, and solemnly praised: "Her Royal Highness the princess Yuxue is cute." ”

Xiping was slightly pushed by Mu Bi, and smiled sweetly at her, and the lady's face softened.

Xu is because of the emperor's eldest son, the Empress Dowager Gao is in a very good mood today, and she made an exception and chatted with Mu Biwei with a pleasant face: "You came early, but the people are not yet together." ”

"Don't dare to hide it from the Queen Mother, the concubine has been annoyed by Yutong these days-" Mu Bi smiled decently, "She heard that she has a younger brother and three sisters, and she thinks about it all day long, and the concubine told her that the eldest son and the third daughter of the emperor are still young, and the queen mother is already tired before, how can she bother?" She couldn't hold back, so she kept thinking about the concubine! ”

Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Xiping lovingly, and saw that her curious eyes fell on the swaddling clothes in her arms, so she smiled and beckoned: "A few days ago, I really didn't have time to call her over, but now that she is here, she is a serious eldest sister, and she should be close to her younger brothers and sisters." ”

Xiping stepped forward in response, approached the Empress Dowager Gao and carefully looked at the appearance of the eldest son of the emperor, and then looked at the third daughter of the emperor held by Concubine Wen, looked at it for a moment, and said in surprise: "My brother and sister are born the same!" ”

"This is a twin, naturally born like." Empress Dowager Gao said with a smile, "But if you look closely, there is a difference, you see that your brother's fetal hair is thicker, but your sister is thinner." ”

"Can you give your granddaughter a hug?" Xiping looked at it for a moment, carefully touched the little face of the emperor's eldest son, and saw that he was sleeping well, so he couldn't help but ask.

Although Xiping is now four years old, where can he hold the baby? Empress Dowager Gao naturally did not give her the emperor's eldest son to take the risk, but said: "You are still young and can't hold it, when you grow up, you will naturally have many younger brothers to hug you." ”

Xiping was very disappointed, and asked Concubine Wen again, although Concubine Wen was holding the third daughter of the emperor in her hand, she didn't dare to ask her to hug it, neither side was allowed, she was very disappointed, so she pouted.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Gao asked the Song family to take the pastry to coax her, and when she was coaxing, the outside Zuo Zhaoyi Qu and Xuan Ming Cui came together, and after the Qu family came in to see the ceremony, she ordered Ling Xianren to present a brocade box, and said: "I turned out a pair of jade bi in the treasury yesterday, and it happened to be given to the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's third daughter." ”

When I opened it, it was a pair of topaz in the shape of a peach, with a warm jade color and colorful silk.

Empress Dowager Gao asked Song to take it, compared the two swaddling clothes, and nodded: "It's the same, it's really just right for them." ”

Mrs. Wu Yingjun beckoned to Qu's family, her face was kind, which was very different from the solemn estrangement when Fang Cai was to Mu Biwei: "Che Niang came to sit with me, I haven't seen you for many years!" ”

Qu sat down in the past and said with a smile: "That year, Mrs. returned to Yedu Province, I was only seven years old, and I also thought about Mrs. ”

"Yingzhou is far away from Yedu, and there are many inconveniences to come and go." Mrs. Wu Yingjun said with emotion, "After many years of absence, now that I come to see it, I can only vaguely recognize my expression." ”

Qu smiled and said a few words to her, and then asked, "Will Madame come back alone, or will she bring the prince and her two younger sisters?" ”

Mrs. Wu Yingjun smiled slightly: "Shenlang, he is busy now, I only brought two girls here, and it is also for the sake of people who have not yet met their grandfather's family, come and recognize them." ”

Despite this, Mu Biwei does not know this Mrs. Wuyingjun, but Qu knows that Mrs. Wuyingjun is the eldest daughter of the generation of the Empress Dowager Gao, and she has attached great importance to the Empress Dowager Gao since she was a child, but she is a few years older than the Empress Dowager Gao, when the first emperor married a woman, this lady has been out of the cabinet, this Wuyinghou Su Ping went to Yedu to meet Gaozu when he was a teenager, and he was praised as handsome, at that time this marriage was also a good and enviable person, but a few years later, Gaozu married a woman for the first emperor, and chose the Empress Dowager Gao- Mrs. Wu Yingjun has a resolute and decisive personality, respects rules, means and courage, and even the Empress Dowager Gao is a little afraid of this sister in the boudoir.

Even if she is the queen mother, it is still a little unnatural in front of Mrs. Wuyingjun.

The two families of Qu Gao have always intermarried with each other in the previous dynasty, and they are very close, so they are naturally very clear about this lady, and they are extremely careful in their words, but in their hearts, they have a rough idea of her suddenly rushing from Yingzhou to Yedu, and quietly appearing at this royal full moon banquet-

Mrs. Wuyingjun has a strong personality, the Duke of Wuyingjun can be described as love, hate, fear and jealousy of her, the two of them do not have half a concubine under their knees, the two sons and two daughters are all concubines, but Mrs. Wuyingjun had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her second son, and she hurt her body, and it took many years before she had the eldest daughter and the second daughter, the two girls were much younger than their brothers, and the Qu family secretly calculated that it was the year of the plum, and this time, maybe one of them was going to ascend to the position of Princess Gaoyang!

There is no conflict with the Qu family in this matter, she is talking and laughing with Mrs. Wuyingjun here, and occasionally the Empress Dowager Gao and Concubine Wen in the palace also interject a few sentences, and the Song family coaxes Princess Xiping to eat pastries next to her, only Mu Biwei ignored it, and she couldn't help but be embarrassed.

When I was uncomfortable, Dai's, Jiao's, He's, and Ye Hanxi all arrived one after another, and the clan began to arrive in people, and the first people to arrive were Guangling Wang and his wife, and the princess Qu's side followed the lord of Aiyang County as usual, because it was the full moon family banquet between the eldest son of the emperor and the third daughter of the emperor, the prince of Guangling also brought, it was a little smaller than Aiyang, and he looked very white and clean.

Mu Bi smiled and greeted Princess Guangling, both of them were smiling and smiling, looking kind and affectionate, never arguing and complaining, everyone first looked at the eldest son of the emperor, and also took the third daughter of the emperor, although the twins are still young, but they are not only the first prince of Ji Shen, but also born in the palace of the Queen Mother, and now they are held by the Queen Mother herself to hold a full moon banquet, naturally they are full of praise.

After another moment, Gao Jieyu came, Bu Shunhua finally - she followed Ji Shen in, the Empress Dowager Gao was the first, her eyes swept over Bu's face meaningfully, and after everyone finished saluting, Ji Shen only had the eldest son in the end, and he was still on the rise, so as not to do anything to bring Bu all the way to the palace, so that she went to the table by herself, and sat on the other side of the Empress Dowager Gao, and couldn't wait to take over the eldest son of the emperor. But he also has to go to the Heyi Hall for a few hours every day, but he also practiced the gesture of holding the child well, and the eldest son of the emperor who was picked up by him did not feel uncomfortable, so he still slept soundly.

Ji Shen looked at it again and again, and said pitifully: "He can sleep." ”

"It's a good thing that children can sleep, so they grow up faster!" Empress Dowager Gao said with a smile, "If you want to say that you can sleep, you can also sleep tight when you are a child." ”

Concubine Wen smiled: "It seems that the eldest son of the emperor followed His Majesty when he was young." ”

Several people laughed.

Ji Shen's eyes did not leave the eldest son, and naturally he couldn't help but ignore the third daughter, Concubine Wen gently touched the queen mother, the queen mother understood, took the third daughter and handed it over: "San Lang look, just Xiping came over, shouting to see his younger brothers and sisters, saying that the two children are the same, but they are more and more cute together!" ”

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Ji Shen also hugged the third daughter, although he sang every night, he was young, the foundation was there, it was very easy to hold a son and a daughter, Concubine Wen took out her hand, and beckoned to King Gaoyang, who had been quietly beside him not far away, and when King Gaoyang approached, Concubine Wen whispered a few words to him, King Gaoyang was stunned, then nodded and walked out quietly.

Ji Shen happened to see it, so he asked casually: "Why does the fourth brother have something to go?" ”

"Where?" Concubine Wen smiled, "Today is the full moon banquet of His Majesty's eldest son and the third daughter of the emperor, this banquet has not yet opened, what is he leaving?" But I forgot to leave one of the congratulatory gifts at the Le Nian Temple, so I told him to pick it up. ”

"I see." Ji Shen just asked casually, he was more worried about his heirs now, so he immediately put this matter aside.

The next head Mu Biwei was talking to Dai's, Ye Hanxi and others, and at the same time noticed this scene, her heart moved.
