Bao Yuan's nails almost dug into the flesh, and his eyes were irrepressibly fixed in the direction of the announcement.

Is there anything worse than that?

Now everyone is watching, even if people don't say it, they will inevitably compare Niangniang and Lin Jieyu together in their hearts.

If the mother could have come earlier, at least there would have been some preconceived impressions......

Thinking of this, Bao Yuan only felt that his whole heart was pinched.

If the time went back ten years, when Niangniang was still seventeen or eighteen years old, Lin Jieyu would still dare to be as arrogant as she is today? Mo said that wearing similar clothes openly like this, I was afraid that even standing next to Qu Shi would make her ashamed of herself for a while.

"The mother is here." Bai Ling stood on tiptoe lightly and said with a smile.

The crowd has been heated again.

There were whispers and jokes everywhere, and many newcomers to the palace had hardly seen this concubine who had sought death four times.

Guifei Qu is a person who lives in legends, whether it is her amazing beauty and dancing in the past, or the ups and downs she has caused in the past six months.

"Finally willing to come out to meet people."

Bai Ling heard a female voice next to her gently bite her ear with the woman beside her.

"The last time I visited Chengqian Palace, I could see through the gauze tent that people were not good."

The man continued.

There was a "tsk" sound all around, and someone answered, "Is it?" ”

"But no, a woman has a child this time...... the female voice snorted, "just the old pearl is yellow, you are a pearl of the night, and you have also become a dead fish eye......"

These words obviously fell into Bao Yuan's ears as well—for her shoulders were already trembling slightly from the anger and injustice she had endured.

Bai Ling gently took her hand.

Bao Yuan glanced sideways at Bai Ling and gently pushed her hand away, "I'm fine." ”

The first thing that caught everyone's eye was a string of lanterns, which were held firmly in the hands of the palace people, like a krathong floating in the air.

Emperor Jianxi had already gotten up and walked slowly in the direction of the Qu clan. Like everyone else, he stared at the figure behind the lantern.

The concubine and Concubine Ning supported each other and slowly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Qu's steps were very slow, her gaze kept falling on the ground not far in front of her, and Concubine Ning on the side stared at everything in front of her with burning eyes.

"I—I'm a little ......"

"Don't be afraid."

Concubine Ning's hand in her sleeve clenched Qu's.

When the power came, Qu Shi took a deep breath and slowly raised his eyes to look forward.

Emperor Jianxi has already approached.

Many people's eyes also overlapped.

The treasure duck not far away suddenly let go of the hand that had been pinching his fingertips fiercely - Qu Shi did not wear the red gown tonight, but changed into a gold and blue cardigan skirt.

The golden blue dress presents a translucent royal blue texture in the double reflection of the night and the lights.

There was not a single gold ornament on the concubine's head, only a white hosta stuck diagonally in between, and the previously combed bun was gone, replaced by a soft and low-hanging round dovetail.

Many people frowned slightly, even if tonight was really just a family banquet in the palace, the concubine's dress was too casual.

This is simply using the palace as his own backyard.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Ning and the concubine saluted together.

Emperor Jianxi didn't say anything, just approached slowly, took Qu's other hand, and gently clamped it in the crook of his arm.

The road from the stone road to the main seat of the garden party was a particularly long walk.

Even in the darkness of the night, everyone saw the slightly loose skin of the rumored beautiful woman and the nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth...... There are also many details of her youth.

The half-year bedridden made all the originally well-proportioned muscle lines on Qu's body disappear, and she lost a lot of weight, the most obvious place was the neck, where the slightly drooping wrinkles were directly exposed, and she didn't even choose a stand-up collar top to block it.

"I haven't seen you in a long time." Emperor Jianxi said in a low voice, "I'm glad that you can come out for a walk tonight." ”

Qu Shi lowered his head and smiled. "The concubine is old."

Emperor Jianxi looked back at her, only to feel all kinds of tenderness surging in his heart.

He gently squeezed Qu's hand and smiled, "...... I'm getting old, too. ”

Hearing this exclamation, the palace people who were dedicated to recording the emperor's words and deeds were slightly stunned, and even the pen stopped there for a while.

Qu Shi slowly raised his head at this time, his eyes fell on Emperor Jianxi, and he smiled slightly, "It's been eleven years in a flash......

Emperor Jianxi sighed and pressed Qu's hand to his heart, "Don't talk about this, let's go watch the fireworks." ”

Seeing Emperor Jianxi leading the concubine into the seat, Jia Yuchun's head lit fireworks at the right time, and under the sound of soaring into the sky one after another and the bright starlight that suddenly exploded overhead, Jia Yuchun only felt cold.

He kept staring at Emperor Jianxi tonight from the corner.

Wave after wave of beautiful flowers passed by the two of them like flowing water, and Emperor Jianxi laughed heartily several times, but he never let go of the hand holding Qu Guifei.

Qu Shi sat there, talking to Concubine Ning on the side from time to time, and more often looking at something with an indifferent face - the night sky? Stars? And the wine glasses at the table, or the crowd of people cheering out of nowhere......

Although she has gradually begun to age, she still has the cruel nature that all beautiful women are born with. Because he knew that he had the chance to win, he watched coldly from the sidelines as groups of young beauties came up in vain.

Jia Yuchun took out a sweat towel and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

"I'm tired."

A slightly old voice came from behind him, startling Jia Yuchun's heart beat suddenly, and when he turned around, he found that it was Huang Chongde.

"Godfather!" Jia Yuchun hurriedly bent down, "Do you have something to find your son?" ”

"It's okay, the emperor asked me to go around too, I see you staring over here, just take a look." Huang Chongde spoke slowly, always with the kindness of an elder.

Jia Yuchun's back bent even lower.

"You're busy." Huang Chongde waved his hand and was about to turn around, when Jia Yuchun suddenly shouted from the bottom of his heart, "Godfather!" Then he knelt down and kowtowed to Huang Chongde.

"What is this for?" Huang Chongde said indifferently.

Jia Yuchun didn't explain, "My son Meng Lang was before, and when I go back tonight, please punish my godfather!" ”

Huang Chongde smiled, stepped forward to help Jia Yuchun up, and turned around and left without saying anything.

……

Bai Ling stood alone in front of an epiphany bonsai that no one was looking at.

The most frightening thing tonight was dissolved, and although Bao Yuan hadn't had time to ask what was going on, she had already written her happiness on her face.

After the initial fireworks opening, Bao Yuan told Bai Ling that she could go to the garden.

In fact, the young palace people in the various palaces were already playing in the courtyard. They were half playing, half holding up the lively atmosphere under the lights - Emperor Jianxi liked to hear such laughter, and this had already been considered by Jia Yuchun in the design of tonight's garden party.

"Fourteen," Bai Ling turned his head and looked at the man standing in the shadows not far away, "can you come and see, how long will it take for this flower to bloom?" ”
