Although there are few princes like Xie Huaijin in Nanqi, who was crowned the prince when he was young, let alone the crown prince who has not performed the crown ceremony.

Although the royal family does not have the etiquette of the crown ceremony, it can be seen that the princes and crowns of all dynasties are solemn gifts, how can they sing and dance at the same time......

Taifu Ren Chengde is a veteran of the two dynasties, he is already in his old age, and he has been self-denying for a lifetime, he really can't stand it, so he took the lead in attending and interrupting the music.

"Your Majesty, this song and dance is really ......"

It's just that before he finished speaking, Emperor Zhaoren laughed aloud and explained: "This is the dancing girl trained by Concubine Qi, the singing and dancing are all from foreign lands, Taifu Ke thinks it is acceptable?" ”

The concubine beside him smiled, her eyes were very smart, but she didn't say anything more humble like the other concubines.

The Taifu over there propped himself up and returned to the banquet, with a reluctant smile on his face. It was inconvenient for him to say anything, and the others naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Qiao Mei looked sideways, the woman on the stage smiled skillfully, her eyebrows were very delicate, but she was a little sassy, and she was no different from Nan Qiren.

Xie Huaijin has come out steadily, he has not removed his uniform, only picked the jade hairpin with the crown of nine crowns to expose his hair, and looked at the wind god handsome. After bowing slightly to Emperor Zhaoren, he sat down under him.

Such a banquet accompanied by singing and dancing lost its solemn atmosphere, but it made the old ministers even less interested.

Only King Qin looked at this dance and felt strange, and from time to time he said a few words to King Jing beside him.

Qiao Mei couldn't find half of the gloomy air on his face, and he didn't know whether the bad thing he made in Jingguo Mansion some time ago was persuaded by Qiao Hui or empathized with others.

And Xie Yuzhi, the king next to him, smiled on his face, and there was a hint of flattery in his eyes when he looked closely.

Qiao's eyebrows slowly evoked a subtle coldness.

In the previous life, Qi Medal just played with her sincerity, and the murderer who really killed hundreds of people in Jingguo Mansion was Xie Yuzhi!

Her hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, she didn't see it with her own eyes when the Zhou family died in the Jinlin Palace, but her father! Jing Guogong was beheaded by Xie Yu's order!

She will never forget that day, she finally escaped from Qi Mansion with the help of Mama Lin, but she watched her father being escorted to the execution ground, and it was Qingzhu who grabbed her to death, so she couldn't rush up......

"What's wrong with Qingqing?" Zhou and she both sat behind Jing Guogong, she quickly noticed that Qiao Mei was wrong, and hurriedly held her hand and asked in a low voice.

She had a little sweat on her forehead, and after listening to Zhou's questioning, she suddenly woke up. Qiao Mei took the handkerchief handed by him, wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm just too hot... Somewhat uncomfortable......"

"Be good, bear with me." Zhou knew that Qiao Mei had a bitter summer since she was a child, so she didn't be suspicious. But there was also a little anxiety on her face, and this banquet might have to be delayed for a long time......

Qiao Mei felt a gaze from the side, she ignored it, and only raised her face and smiled comfortingly at Zhou.

Xie Yuzhi, although she has never been in contact with him, she can see that he is a wolf in sheep's clothing since her previous life, and she is well versed in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

He obviously has a mother concubine who is one of the four concubines - Concubine Shu is a backer in the harem, but the mother and son are very low-key on weekdays, and there is a hint of incompetence in the eyes of outsiders.

For example, today, King Qin Xie Qingmu is just the prince who was once raised under his name, and his biological mother is just a lowly palace maid and her bones have long been gone, so he still pours wine for Xie Qingmu with a smile, looking low.

But the people around are not surprised......

She didn't know what Xie Yuzhi had laid out, but if Qiao Mei had to guess, she felt that it was nothing more than collusion with Xiliang or Northern Xinjiang, and she had the intention of rebellion early on.

The worship beside her gently stirred up the wind for her, but she didn't dare to move too much, Qiao Mei gradually calmed down, she pressed the hand of the worship, and said softly: "Okay, you will rest." ”

The audience is still dancing and music, and the skirts on the dancers are like flowers, energetic and soft.

On the stage, Xie Huaijin suddenly spoke: "Father, the sons are a little tired. ”

As soon as he said this, he won the envious eyes of Xie Yuzhi and Xie Qingmu, who in the whole world dares to speak to Emperor Zhaoren so bluntly? I'm afraid it's just them, the second brother......

Emperor Zhaoren knew that he, the eldest son, had always been patient and patient, and if he wasn't really uncomfortable, he would definitely not say such a thing.

He looked at Xie Huaijin again, only to see that his eyes were half-closed, obviously very tired, and Emperor Zhaoren's heart softened by half a point at that moment, and he said to the chamberlain behind him: "Quickly help the prince down to rest." ”

Xie Huaijin is gone, and the banquet will naturally disperse.

Emperor Zhaoren took the lead in leaving with Concubine Qi, and the old ministers also bowed to the two princes scattered and retreated, and Qiao Mei and they also prepared to leave the palace with a group of courtiers.

Only Qiao Mei and their group bypassed the corridor of copying hands, and a palace maid came to meet her, she Yingying saluted everyone one by one, "The slave and maid are the people in the palace of the concubine," she said and looked at Qiao Mei behind her, "Niangniang just saw that Qiao Si was gentle and lovely, and she felt happy in her heart, so she sent a slave maid to invite the girl to the palace for a while." ”

It was impossible to find fault with this, and Zhou looked at Qiao Mei with some concern. This concubine Niangniang is a beauty that was presented to Emperor Zhaoren by local officials not long ago, and she was favored by Emperor Zhaoren in an instant, and she also snubbed Concubine Li Guifei for this.

But who knows if she's coming with good intentions or if she has other intentions?

Old Madam Qiao can see with a face, Concubine Qiao is now loved by the emperor, if she can be more attentive to Qiao, it will also be beneficial to the Jingguo Mansion.

In a moment, everyone's thoughts turned, and Mrs. Qiao said: "It is her blessing to be able to win the favor of her mother. With that, he asked Qiao Mei to go with the palace maid.

Later, Jing Guogong patted Zhou's hand to show appeasement.

Yanqing Palace is very close to Emperor Zhaoren's bedroom, which shows that it is not a lie that Concubine Qi is favored. The door of the hall was slowly opened, and the smell of incense wafted lightly in the hall, as if it had been extinguished not long ago, and the placement inside felt luxurious at a glance.

Qiao Mei slightly covered the expression at the bottom of her eyes, and stepped into the hall without squinting, a person on the small couch leaned crookedly with her eyes half-closed, and the ice silk was padded behind her waist, and the palace maids surrounded her and pinched her shoulders and rubbed her arms.

"Niangniang, Miss Qiao is here." Su Hui said softly.

"Qiao Mei meets Concubine Niangniang." Qiao lowered his eyebrows and went down to salute first.

Concubine Wei opened her eyes, got up with a smile, and waved her hand to let the palace maids retreat, leaving only Su Hui to wait by her side.

"It's Miss Qiao, come on!" Concubine Luo smiled generously, and beckoned Qiao Mei to sit down on the couch, while she asked Su Wei to serve snacks.

There was kindness in Qiao Mei's incomprehensible eyes, she lowered her head slightly, and said cautiously: "The courtiers don't dare, how can they sit at the same table with Niangniang." ”
