The palace is majestic, in front of the Yuxiang Gate, under the high vermilion wall are all winding and deep corridors.

Before entering the palace gate, the whole imperial city is more solemn against the backdrop of the palace people like clay sculptures, and the nobles all get off the sedan chair here, and they do not feel that they have restrained their breath, and they are supported by the maidservants beside them and wait at the palace gate.

Each noble lady handed over the jade post in her hand to the consul eunuch in turn, and then the two palace maids led the way to the Changchun Hall to enter the banquet.

The palace was solemn, and no one was noisy and laughing here, except for the sound of small broken steps, there was no movement in the entire corridor.

Because it was a dinner party, when Lin Hao and Qin Shuang passed through several winding corridors and arrived at the Changchun Palace, the sky was getting dark.

The lamp has been in the palm of the palm in the Changchun Palace, and the two rows of blue phoenix bird lamps and candles are gathered at the entrance of the main hall under the autonomous seat, and the candle is filled with Rui dipterocarp, the flame is bright, and the fragrance is more than ten steps.

The nobles sat down one by one according to the guidance of the palace maid, and each Huanghuali inlaid luodian tooth stone flower and bird rectangular table was placed with all kinds of exquisite palace food, and the peony pattern cushion was also extremely luxurious, Qin Shuang naturally sat down against Lin Hao.

The rest of the ladies who arrived one after another were also seated.

It was only a moment, and many eyes had already glanced at Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang unconsciously raised her chin slightly, she could bear such a hot gaze, not to mention that with her appearance, who could compete with each other present!

Rao is a palace banquet, but the Queen Mother and others have not yet arrived, and the nobles under the base can't help but talk in whispers.

Lin Hao was originally groaning, her eyes swept over the hall, and she had a bottom in her heart.

It wasn't until two sharp rays of light came that Lin Hao directly met her, and she saw that it was Xiao Runing, the third lady of Zhennan Houfu, who was sitting opposite.

She dressed up for the banquet today, and because of her relationship with the Queen Mother, together with the noble girl beside her, she had to flatter her.

"Sister, that's ......."

Mo said that Lin Hao, even Qin Shuang also sensed Xiao Runing's superior momentum.

The corners of Lin Hao's mouth hooked up a vague smile, motioned for Qin Shuang to sit closer, and chuckled, "That's Xiao Runing, the third lady of Zhennan Houfu, who is the cousin and granddaughter of the Queen Mother." ”

"Ahh Zhennan Houfu ...... "Although Qin Shuang did not grow up in the capital, Zhennan Houfu has heavy troops and the support of the Queen Mother behind him, and he is the most noble of several Hou Mansions.

Qin Shuang's eyes quickly gathered eagerness, and she wanted to greet Xiao Runing with a smile, but who knew that the other party actually glanced at her with disgust, and immediately turned her head away, talking and laughing with the noble girl beside her.

Qin Shuang was cold-eyed, and his enthusiasm was in vain.

It's just that I don't know why this Miss Xiao San is very hostile to her? Remembering that she had an outstanding appearance, this Miss Tang San was afraid that it was also because of jealousy, Qin Shuang muttered angrily, "What an arrogant Third Miss." ”

Lin Zhen smiled silently.

Tonight, there is Lao Qinshuang to attract Xiao Runing's care for her, and with this sister here, she can hide and relax.

She and Xiao Runing have had friction since the day they met, because of her brother's beating of the envoys, Xiao Runing hated the house and Wu even more, and was very disgusted with her.

Qin Shuang, who was close to her at this moment, was naturally regarded by her as a thorn in her eye and a thorn in her flesh.

Not to mention that Qin Shuangsheng is so beautiful, and he comes in such an occasion, isn't he looking at the position of the crown princess?

Xiao Conning was arrogant, and all her thoughts were exposed on her face. I'm afraid that Qin Shuang will feel good tonight, but Qin Shuang still doesn't know at the moment.

Lin Hao calmly avoided Xiao Runing's scorching gaze, and smiled and exchanged a few words with Qin Shuang beside him from time to time.

Such a scene fell into Xiao Runing's eyes without leakage, which of the nobles present didn't look at her, who dared to get close to Lin Hao?

That woman relied on her long fox charm, and didn't even put her in her eyes, Xiao Runing held a sulk in her chest, just waiting for the opportunity to come, and she would make the two people on the other side look good!

"The Queen Mother has arrived! Shugui Niangniang, Jade Concubine Niangniang, Zhuang Concubine Niangniang arrived! ”

The eunuch outside the temple gate raised his voice and shouted.

The hall was instantly quiet, and all the nobles prostrated on the ground, kneeling and bowing.

"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"

"Shugui Niangniang, Jade Concubine Niangniang, Zhuang Concubine Niangniang Wanfu!"

The Queen Mother came to the front of the hall surrounded by several concubines, and after a burst of squishing sleeves, the Queen Mother who listened to her lightly ordered, "Get up!" ”

"The courtiers thanked the Queen Mother!"

The ladies hung their heads and got up, and they sat down.

Because of the respect of the identity of the main seat, the nobles had to lower their eyes and secretly glance ahead with their spare eyes to admire the majesty of the Queen Mother.

"You don't have to be formal. The old woman of the mourning family is old and thinks the palace is dull, so she summoned you young girls to accompany the mourning family to talk, you don't want the old woman of the mourning family to nag. ”

The Queen Mother leaned on the yellow rosewood long table with one hand, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes slowly unfolded.

The nobles didn't feel relieved, and the Queen Mother seemed to be easy to get along with.

"Where did the Queen Mother say? The concubines look at you in your prime, and in front of you, the concubines are all in the posture of a willow. Concubine Shu beside her took the lead in opening her mouth, and said with a smile on her face.

Lin Hao's chest suddenly tightened, and she seemed to have been beaten hard a few times, almost knocking her soul away.

The voice......

Thoughts surged, and the secret things that had been suppressed in my mind gradually surfaced.

Even if Lin Hao endures, she can't help but feel uneasy.

Sneaking a glance at the front of the palace, fortunately, several concubines were laughing with the queen mother, and no one noticed her abnormality.

When his eyes retracted, he inadvertently bumped into Xiao Runing's line of sight, slashing Lin Hao like a cold blade.

Lin Zhen raised her eyebrows and raised slightly, what can you bear with me?

Xiao Runing saw that she was so provocative, where was she still calm, and she often came to the palace, so she was not as restrained as other nobles.

His eyes, which were slightly red because of anger, slowly got up, and bowed to the people in front of the hall, "The courtiers meet the Queen Mother." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Ning'er, come forward quickly, and take a good look at the mourning family." The Queen Mother's eyes moved from the concubines to Xiao Runing.

The eyes of the nobles present darkened, the queen mother was like this to show her affection, they didn't all come to accompany them through the motions, where was the crown princess's turn to be on them......

Xiao Runing was even more proud when she heard this, and Ruyan took a few steps closer before making a big salute.

"Well, I'm dressed up well today, and the mourning family looks comfortable." The Queen Mother bowed her head, and her words were meaningful, but her eyes inadvertently swept over the concubines.

"Exactly, the concubine also saw this girl at a glance, and her face was blessed." Concubine Zhuang next to her is nearly forty years old, and she is the concubine who has accompanied the emperor for the longest time, and she has long been out of favor, but she is kind and has a princess who is quite favored by the emperor, and she is the least favored, and the emperor will go to her palace every month to sit.

What the queen mother has in mind, they know it, and they have to pretend to be stupid to accompany the queen mother to act in this scene.

It's not that the concubines haven't seen Xiao Runing in the palace, but they still have to open their eyes and talk nonsense, showing some amazement.
