The noble concubine Lu Shi, sixty years old, has a daughter under her knees, and is Princess Luo'an. In the early years, the eldest prince Chun Yu Ao was raised to the age of fifteen, and after Chun Yu Ao succeeded to the throne, he wanted to respect him as the queen mother, but the Lu family did not allow it, so he respected him as a noble concubine.

Every year, the concubine's birthday banquet will hold a palace banquet, and this year's concubine's 60th birthday is a full-fledged event. However, the noble concubine did not advocate it, so she still only followed the gifts of previous years and held a palace banquet.

However, the guests of the banquet should not take it seriously, and this year's birthday gift must be heavier than in previous years to show their intentions.

When the noble concubine arrived, she was followed by a long list of palace maids and eunuchs, and the battle was very full, until she went up to the high platform, and those palace maids retreated, leaving only two palace maids to follow, and stood still in the middle of the high platform with the noble concubine.

Chun Yuao immediately got up and bowed to the concubine. The guests below also stood up and knelt down with the king.

Jun Mulin didn't kneel, but he also stood up, after all, he was an elder, and he still had to have basic etiquette.

Bai Heran was pulled by Mrs. Meng to kneel, after all, this is Mrs. Meng's aunt and Princess Luo'an's mother, she should kneel in a reasonable way, so she didn't feel awkward.

For a time, under the leadership of the monarch, the people in the whole hall shouted in unison: "The noble concubine Niangniang is happy for a thousand years, and she has a long life!" ”

The noble concubine Lu Shi looked down, and then looked at Chun Yuao, who was kneeling and following, and didn't say anything, only looked at Jun Mulin who was standing aside. The face that had been strained and didn't look like a smile loosened slightly when he looked at Jun Murin, and he actually took the initiative to ask: "Lan'er's child, is she okay?" I heard that she is engaged to you, you, are you sincere to her? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. Bai Heran knelt below, raised his head at once, and heard the noble concubine waving her hand at Jun Mulin and saying, "Didn't surprise you?" It is said that this should not be asked at this time, but I just heard that you are coming, and I couldn't bear it for a while. I haven't seen the daughter Lan Er gave birth to, but Lan Er always came to me to play when she was young. She has a good relationship with my daughter, they are sisters, and they play together almost every day. Since I was a child, almost half of the meals were used in my palace, and sometimes I would simply sleep in my palace and chat with Huan'er all night. The news of your engagement with that child has already reached Gobu, and I have heard about it, and I have been thinking about it, and I will ask you when you come today. ”

Jun Mulin was stunned for a while and came back to his senses, although he didn't expect the noble concubine to ask this question, but he could hear and see that this concubine really cared about their family dyeing, and she was really worried about her mother.

So he waved his hand at the concubine, gave a deep salute, and said, "Thanks to the concubine's concern, everything is fine." I, Dongqin, gave her the honor of a princess, gave her a fief, and built a princess's mansion. This prince treats her sincerely. ”

The noble concubine breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, that's good, then I'll rest assured." After speaking, Fang remembered the matter, so he bowed slightly and returned the salute, "Thank you Prince Dongqin for coming to celebrate my birthday for the old woman, the prince came from afar, Gebu has lost his welcome, and I hope to forgive me." ”

"Don't dare." Jun Murin said, "It's the prince who came uninvited, and there is a lot of disturbance, so don't blame the concubine." ”

The concubine smiled and shook her head, "It's not weird, it's not weird, it's good to come, it's good to come." After speaking, he looked at Chun Yuao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and finally had a little smile on his face, and said lightly, "Get up!" Then he said to the bottom of the main hall, "Get up all of you!" The old body has to do this every year at the birthday banquet, and there is really nothing new, this birthday celebration is just a formality, and you don't have to take it to heart. Just listen to the song and watch the dance, and leave the palace in two hours. ”

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and turned to sit on the chair that had been prepared for her.

Chun Yuao didn't get up immediately, knelt on the ground for a while, took a deep breath, stood up, and sat back on the dragon chair silently. The guests below also got up and sat back in their seats. Everyone can feel that the concubine is not in a very good mood, and as soon as she came up, she first asked the prince of Dongqin about Chun Yulan's daughter, which is obviously a slap in the face of the monarch!

Who doesn't know that what the monarch hates most is anyone and anything related to the former prince, especially the sister who married Dongqin, who is a thorn in the king's eye. Some people can still remember that more than ten years ago, when the news of the death of the county lord came back to Gobu, the monarch was so happy that he feasted for three whole days. But now, in front of so many people, the noble concubine is enthusiastically asking the prince of Eastern Qin about the daughter of the county lord on such an occasion, how can the monarch love to hear this? The birthday banquet has not started like this, how can it continue later?

Fortunately, the eunuch who was in charge of singing and dancing was very sensible, and when he saw that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, he immediately let the drum music play. Drum music together, delicacies were put on the table like water, and the dancing girl appeared on the stage, which finally alleviated the embarrassment of Shicai on the bright side.

But it's only on the surface, no one can treat what happened as if it didn't happen, at least the concubine's face is still calm, and the monarch's complexion is also not good-looking. The prince of Dongqin was more comfortable, leaning back in the chair, peeling the fruit of Gebu's specialty in his hand, sending a pair of eyes to the female guests one by one, and from time to time he picked the corners of his lips and smiled, so that the female guests all had red faces and didn't dare to raise their heads.

So many people made a mistake in their hearts, what is this prince of Eastern Qin doing? Is the concubine here? Didn't you just say in front of the concubine that she was sincere to that princess, why did she hook up in public in a blink of an eye?

The noble concubine also noticed it, and she was so angry for a while, she felt that the prince was perfunctory just now, and he didn't treat the girl very well at all. It's only been a while, and she obviously said that she is very worried about that child, but she is today's birthday star, and your Donggang prince has come to Gebu's territory again, so you should give some face, right?

However, this face was really not given, which shows that not only did people not take the girl in their eyes, but also did they not take Gebu in their eyes.

The concubine's heart was depressed, and her face became more and more gloomy.

Bai Heran also noticed the change in the concubine's mood, and couldn't help but remind Jun Murin with his lips: "Pay attention to the impact." ”

Jun Murin replied to her: "I miss you." ”

She rolled her eyes at him, no longer looking, and only whispered to Mrs. Meng: "Mother, I don't seem to be very happy with my aunt. ”

Mrs. Meng sighed, "Alas, what year's birthday can I be happy!" Your aunt doesn't like to hold any birthday banquets, and the monarch must do it, because he has to let everyone in the world know that he is a monarch with a human touch, who values feelings and knows filial piety, and is good for the adoptive mother of the noble concubine. What can your aunt do? It can only be cooperated. ”

Bai Heran understood, and his majesty the monarch who killed his own father and ascended to the throne wanted to use the noble concubine to regain his reputation and let the Gebu people know that he was still a person with feelings. It's really funny, my father was killed, my brother was on death row for more than ten years, my nephew was also strangled in infancy, my brother and sister were abused, and my sister was forced to die in Dongqin...... There are countless relatives who have died in his hands, what can he prove with an adoptive mother in his hands?

It really can't prove anything, Chun Yuao himself knows it, but he still has to do it, and he has to do it well.

For the sake of this throne, he did everything that should be done and what should not be done, and he did not regret it. But if he wants to sit on this throne for a long time, and if he wants the historian to have history to write behind him, he must do many things on the surface. For example, since ancient times, the emperor talked about benevolence and filial piety, he was unkind and unrighteous to his brothers, and he was not filial to his father, but fortunately, he also left him an adoptive mother, so that he could offer this adoptive mother and give her supreme dignity.

He has created this very well, and after so many years, many people have believed in his respect for this concubine. There are also many jokes about the monarch's gratitude and filial piety among the people, all of which are about how the monarch respects this concubine and how he honors her, and even talks about his deep relationship with the princess's daughter, Princess Luo An. Including the Meng family, they are also close and taken care of by him.

If it weren't for the fact that he killed his father and seized the throne back then, he could really use this noble concubine to become a benevolent and filial prince praised by everyone. It's a pity that that history is a stain that he can never wash away, and it is also an eternal memory in people's hearts.

Jun Mulin peeled another fruit, put it in his mouth and took a bite, shook his head, and said, "Sour." "Throw it aside.

Chun Yu glanced at the fruit, the fruit shape was Zhouzheng, and the green was red, it was the best fruit that could be picked.

This kind of green fruit is a specialty of Gebu, which only grows in the mountains near Fengxiang City, and there are 19 existing fruit trees, each of which bears less than 30 fruits per year. Half of them are all green, very sour, and basically uningeable. But half of it is this red, which is very sweet and glutinous, and tastes particularly good.

This kind of fruit tree cannot be transplanted, it will die when it is dug up, and the pit cannot be replanted, and it cannot be planted anywhere. Therefore, this kind of green fruit has become a very precious thing, which can only be seen at the royal palace banquet, even the Shengyun Princess's Mansion only occasionally rewards a few pieces to try it, and the rest are collected in the palace, or sent to the concubine, in order to show the importance of the monarch to the concubine.

At today's birthday banquet, green fruits are specially taken out to entertain guests, and not everyone can eat them. Jun Mulin was a guest, and the palace people picked the best fruit and put it in front of him, mainly because they didn't want to give Gebu a share. Unexpectedly, the best fruit still felt sour in his mouth, so he took a bite and threw it aside, which made people feel that heart.

Chun Yuao knew that Jun Murin did it on purpose, but what could he say? No matter how good Qingguo is, it is also for Gebu, if he goes to Dongqin, which is rich in land and resources, there is indeed not much to see.

But at the moment, the fruit is small, but there is one thing that is more important than thousands. He couldn't figure out how this prince of Eastern Qin entered Fengxiang City silently? First a white crane ran, then a Jun Murin, these two people quietly walked into his Fengxiang and his palace, what are they going to do?
