Wen Zhen heard that Concubine De had a birthday and wanted to have a small gathering, Wen Zhen remembered her mother's advice, and raised the fetus with peace of mind and did not act rashly.

Concubine De is just celebrating her birthday, and her body is already a little inconvenient, so when the time comes, Jin'er will send a birthday gift to the past.

Concubine De knew that Mu Bangshang promised to give her a big gift, but Concubine Hui gave each person a plain yarn palace dress on her birthday, and she couldn't guess what Concubine Xian would give.

What she expects most is to get the emperor's favor, which is also the most coveted by harem women.

A few days later, before dawn, Mu Bangshang personally served Xuanyuan to bathe and change clothes and go to the court, Mu Bangshang held the belt in his hand, tied it for him with his own hands, and brought him a crown, and did not forget to mention it, "Your Majesty, today is Concubine Xiao De's birthday, don't forget to go to Yanxi Palace in the next court." ”

Xuanyuan has made an appointment to go to Yanxi Palace to celebrate Concubine Xiao De's birthday, and the emperor will go in person to give Concubine Xiao De's face.

Xuanyuan stopped her waist, "I know. ”

"The time has come for the emperor to go to court, hurry up and go to court!" Mu Bangshang urged.

Mu Bangshang was no longer sleepy, he collapsed and bathed and changed his clothes, changed into a light purple palace dress, and applied a thin layer of powder.

I have already made an appointment with Ji Jinru, and I will meet in Yanxi Palace after the hour, the queen will not go today, and she will have a baby in Fengqi Palace, which is also a little less embarrassing.

Before the hour came, Mu Wanshang held the account book and looked at it, if it wasn't for the emperor's arrangement, she would be happy.

"Niangniang, Tianyin Flying Pigeon has passed the book, and it will arrive in these few days."

Mu Wansheng was still a little apprehensive in her heart, Yan Jiu and Scarlet Yi both said that Tianyin was not very easy to get along with, "I know." ”

Yuxiu walked in, "Niangniang, Luan Jia is ready." ”

In Yanxi Palace, after the concubines went to Fengqi Palace to greet the queen in the morning, they came to Yanxi Palace together.

Yanxi Palace did not deliberately decorate. No matter how it is arranged, it will not have the luxury of the queen and the concubine's bedroom, and it looks more like a palace concubine's discussion.

Many concubines have arrived, only Concubine Xian has not yet arrived, and the harem is missing Ren Daiying, and it seems that she is a little less angry. On weekdays, when the palace concubines get together, she has the most words.

Fang Minjun said: "Concubine De, the time has come, Concubine Xian has not yet arrived, whether to start!" ”

"Wait! The queen mother can't come here, Concubine Xian is the head of all the concubines, and since she has agreed, she will definitely not break her promise. ”

Concubine De ordered people to prepare fruits and snacks, and waited for Concubine Xian's arrival with peace of mind.

Outside the hall, Jin'er came with a gift prepared by the queen, and inside the sandalwood box was a pair of jade jade bracelets, with exquisite workmanship and no flaws, "Concubine De, this is the birthday gift from the queen to Concubine De." ”

Concubine De hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "Thank you for the reward of the queen mother!" ”

The queen's gift has been delivered, Jin'er left directly, all the concubines are envious, this pair of bracelets is worth a lot of money, it seems that the queen's mother is still very generous, after all, it is after the gate, the dowry is also quite rich.

I just don't know what gifts this virtuous concubine will give? Concubine Xian's family background is not as good as that of the queen, relying on the emperor's favor, she has always been generous.

It has arrived in the middle of the hour, and the virtuous concubine still has not arrived, Yun Ya'er came to tell him that Ji Shanggong of the Shang Palace Bureau has been wandering outside the palace with people and has not entered the palace.

"Announce her in!"

The tray in Ji Jinru's hand was the birthday gift that Concubine Xian wanted to give to Concubine De, she was waiting for Mu Bangsheng, and she was a little anxious to see that Concubine Xian had not arrived for a long time.

Hearing that Concubine De was summoned, she was just a female official, and she couldn't go against Concubine De's wishes, so she immediately followed Yun Ya'er into Yanxi Palace.

Ji Jinru saw that Concubine Xiao De was dressed in a blue palace brocade dress, her demeanor was dignified, and she knelt down respectfully and said, "Ji Shanggong has seen Concubine De Niangniang. I wish the mother a blessed life and a long life.

, the birthday gift prepared by the subordinates is an embroidery, the name is a hundred flowers, it is the embroidery of the weaving workshop, and it took seven days and seven nights to embroider without sleep. ”

The Xiu Niang of the weaving room carried the embroidery up and unfolded it in front of everyone, and the embroidery flowers competed for beauty, each with its own merits.

"It's really ingenious, Ji Shanggong really has a heart."

"It's good if you like it."

Fang Minjun saw that the tray in Ji Jinru's hand was covered with red brocade, and asked curiously: "Ji Shanggong, isn't what you are holding in your hand a birthday gift for Concubine Xiande." ”

"Hui Niangniang, what the subordinates are holding in their hands is the birthday gift prepared by Concubine Xian Niangniang for Concubine De."

Connived at the uproar, the virtuous concubine didn't get the gift but arrived first, and they all wanted to see what was inside? What's under the tray?

Fang Minjun said: "Why don't you take it out and take a look at what Concubine Xian is sending?" ”

Ji Jinru said: "Concubine Xian Niangniang ordered, only Niangniang came to uncover it in person. ”

Concubine Xiao De is not in a hurry, Ji Jinru said this, which means that Concubine Xian will definitely arrive today, but something has been delayed for some time.

"Sister Concubine Fang, don't be impatient! Wait!"

After a while, Zhang Deshun outside the palace said: "The emperor has arrived!" Concubine Xian arrived. ”

All the concubines were shocked, and they knelt down to take over, "Long live the emperor, long live!" ”

Mu Bangshang followed behind Xuanyuan and walked in, Xuanyuan chose the main seat and sat down, and Mu Bangshang immediately sat on the left side.

"Let's all be flat!" The concubines got up and sat down in turn.

"Today is Concubine De's birthday, and Concubine Xian specially instructed me to prepare some rewards, which will be delivered later, but I also participated in the birthday gift given by Concubine Xian."

When these words came out, Concubine De was flattered and didn't know what kind of gift it was.

Mu Bangshang said to Ji Jinru: "Ji Shanggong, bring the things up!" ”

Ji Jinru presented the tray in her hand, and the red brocade was uncovered, and inside was scattered jewelry.

But seeing Mu Bangshang, bare hands, those jewelry accessories are under Mu Bangshang's hands, little by little combined, with golden tassels, and exquisite steps appear in his hands.

The action is very skillful, and a pair of steps are shaken in his hands, "Sister Concubine De, this style was personally chosen by the emperor, and the emperor said that Concubine De's sister Dexin is like an orchid, and the orchid is the most suitable." ”

Concubine Xiao De hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the step, and the corners of Mu Wanshang's lips curled up with a sweet and gentle smile, "This palace personally brought it for Concubine De's sister." ”

The lotus step moved lightly, the movement was gentle, and the step of the magnolia flower was inserted in the temples of Concubine De, "Sister Concubine De's step to stay with the orchid is more gentle and moving." ”

Concubine De wins a blessing, "Concubine De thanks the birthday gift of the emperor and Concubine Xian's sister." ”

Xuanyuan laughed loudly: "Seeing that the harem concubines are like sisters, I am also gratified. ”

The emperor personally selected the jewelry made by Concubine Xian, which has already given Concubine Xiao De enough face, "Your Majesty, today's concubine's birthday is very happy, it is better to play a song to wish Yaxing." ”

"Good!"

Xuanyuan and Mu Bangshang only stayed in Yanxi Palace for most of the hour, and the emperor still had to deal with official business, so Mu Bangshang also took his leave.

The emperor has already given Concubine De enough face, and he has no intention of staying in Yanxi Palace, and Xiao Zhuyin has no choice, so he can't ask the emperor to stay.

The spies came to report that the old general's mind was gradually confused, and occasionally he was able to sober up thinking that the time limit was approaching, and Xuanyuan went to the mansion of the Great Sima to visit his grandfather.

The Wen family had begun to deploy forces, and Wen Zhen heard that Zu Weng's deadline was approaching, and his heart was sad and he couldn't sleep at night.

Xuanyuan protects Mu Bangshang very well, and when Mu Bangshang has nothing to do, he will go to the courtyard for a turn, and occasionally go to Concubine De's palace to sit down.

Mu Bangshang has tasted the taste of being alone in an empty room, and Concubine De must have hated her to death. On the surface, it looks harmonious, but the darkness behind the scenes is invisible.

Mu Bangshang returned to Fengyi Palace, and saw that the atmosphere in Fengyi Palace was a little wrong, and Yuxiu was standing outside the palace.

"Yuxiu, why are you standing outside the palace."

"Niangniang, there is a very strange woman in the palace, who looks strange and scary.

Scarlet Yi hurriedly smiled and said, "Niangniang, it must be Tianyin who is here." ”

Mu Bangshang really wanted to see what Tianyin looked like, but Yuxiu felt uncomfortable.

Walking directly into the hall with Scarlet Clothes, he saw a black suit, a neat ponytail on his head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, atmospheric facial features, and a heroic spirit.

reminds Mu Bangshang of a person, although the appearance is very different, the demeanor and temperament are very similar to the bearded princess Ruan Shengnan.

Tianyin's sharp eyes looked Mu Wanshang up and down, and that kind of aggressive momentum made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Scarlet Yi hurriedly stepped forward, "Tianyin, this is Concubine Xian." ”

Scarlet Yi just bowed his head, his face expressionless, "Tianyin is responsible for protecting Niangniang, and Niangniang had better not deviate from Tianyin's protection range." ”

"Good! Scarlet clothes, you go and take Tianyin to live in the side hall! ”

Scarlet Yi left with Tianyin, and Yuxiu breathed a long sigh of relief, "Niangniang, is this woman going to stay in Fengyi Palace?" It was as cold as someone owed her money. ”

Mu Bangshang didn't think it was strange, Tianyin had just come, and it would be good after a long time.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's get ready for lunch!"

Scarlet Yi brought Tianyin to the guest room in the side hall, and the room had already been arranged, "Tianyin, this is your room, if you need anything, just say it." I'll have someone bring lunch. ”

Tianyin's voice was very cold, and he looked around, with a faint contempt in the depths of his eyes, "When did Scarlet become a slave sent by others!" ”

"Tianyin, it is our task to protect the mastermother."

"Okay, I remember, you get out!" The voice was indifferent, and he thought that she was the owner of this place.

"If you need anything, just say it, I live next door."

After settling down Tianyin, Scarlet went to see Mu Bangshang, and saw Mu Bangshang having lunch, "Scarlet clothes, Tianyin can be arranged." “

"Well, Tianyin's temperament has always been very cold and unsociable, don't blame her."

Since it was sent by Xuanyuan, it must be trustworthy.

"Sister Yansha was also very cold when she came, and it will be better after a long time."

Tianyin was the most ruthless of the people, "I hope! ”

"Scarlet, let's have dinner together!"
