Nangong Ge just left with his front foot, and Yesheng also left Lichao Kyoto with his back foot.

Ye Sheng originally asked Zhao Ziqian on behalf of Ye Chao for a guarantee not to interfere, and he naturally had no reason to stay after exchanging with the latter. However, before leaving, he asked Zhao Ziqian to leave the "Evening Picture" painted by Yi Xiangxiang, which is said to have added five sweaty and bloody BMWs in exchange.

Zhao Ziqian handed over these five sweat-and-blood horses to Yi Xiangxiang, so that much later, there were more sweat-and-blood horses worth thousands of gold in the horse farm under the Wuda Firm, and they also formed a brave and warlike cavalry for the Li Dynasty, which was once impressive.

Of course, that's all for later.

The second day after Yesheng left the Li Dynasty was the fifth day of the first lunar month, Yi Xiangxiang held a banquet in Changchun Palace as the queen to entertain the wives and daughters of civil and military officials.

The ancient court banquets were all extravagant and gorgeous, even in winter, the interior of the Changchun Palace was as warm as spring.

Yi Xiangxiang moved out a lot of precious flowers and plants from the flower room for the ladies and ladies to watch, and a proudly standing peony was watched and discussed by many people.

"This snowflakes are all over the sky, there can be peony flowers, and it is so graceful and luxurious, it is really a great spectacle!" It was an old lady with gray hair who spoke.

Yi Ruofu, who was accompanying her mother-in-law and was also enjoying the flowers, said: "Mrs. Duan doesn't know, the queen loves flowers very much, because the flower room in this palace is now divided into greenhouses, and the palace people who plant flowers and plants use some special cultivation methods to see this proud peony flower in this winter." ”

It turned out that it was the wife of the former first assistant Duan Hongzhen, the Qin family, who had just spoken.

The Duan family and the Yi family have a master-apprentice relationship between Duan Hongzhen and Yi Luochuan, and they have had a lot of contacts in the past two years. Although Yi Ruofu is a married daughter, she is also familiar with the Duan family.

Qin's face was smiling, but he still laughed at Yi Ruofu: "You are a narrow ghost, who doesn't know that you are the person who loves to grow flowers and raise flowers in the Yi family." I'm embarrassed to say that the queen mother, how can the little skin be so thick! ”

A joke made everyone laugh out loud.

"Let this palace see, what are all the ladies laughing at?" Yi Xiangxiang came out of the inner hall and walked over.

When the people of the temple heard her voice, they all knelt down and saluted.

Yi Xiangxiang hurriedly stretched out her hand to help the Qin family and said, "Old lady, please get up quickly!" The Holy Lord often said that the old man Duan had a lot of teachings for him, although he did not perform the ritual of worshipping the teacher, but he was no different from a good teacher, and the old lady must not care about these false gifts. ”

Qin smiled and said: "Etiquette cannot be abolished, the queen mother is the mother of a country, and the dignity she deserves cannot be lost." ”

The person had already been helped up, Yi Xiangxiang naturally wouldn't argue about this issue, so she helped Old Madam Duan to sit down in the circle chair while listening to the teachings, and didn't forget to wave everyone to get up before turning around.

Yi Xiangxiang was talking with Mrs. Duan and several other respected old ladies, but the Yi family on the other end was late.

When Mrs. Yi Mo took Lin and others to pay homage to Yi Xiangxiang, the banquet was about to start, and they all sat down without saying anything.

In fact, it was not that they stepped on it by virtue of being the queen's family, but that something else happened halfway. As for what the reason is, I'll talk about it later.

Soon after the banquet began, the queen mother of the two palaces also came to show her face. However, it was only a cup of tea, and they left the table early.

It was still the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan who took the lead, the Empress Dowager Xiao'an echoed, and the two old sisters left Changchun Palace with their hands in hand.

There was nothing strange about everyone, after all, they all left the table early at the palace banquet, let alone the occasion for the banquet of Mrs. and Miss.

Besides, today is still the home of Yi Xiangxiang, the queen, and they have no reason to stay for a long time.

Yi Xiangxiang's favorite is this situation, because she is the biggest in the audience, so she doesn't have to fake colors to anyone. However, because there was still the Lin family sitting below, she didn't dare to be too casual, so she could only keep her duty and be lazy secretly.

She looked in the direction of the Yi family and looked at it with a helpless look.

Eh, even if it's a queen, it's really not interesting to see that her relatives still have to obey the rules. She thought so.

The Yi family was full of people here, Rao is Jiang Jingshan is still pregnant, and she didn't attend today, but she also looked very lively.

I saw that next to Mrs. Yi's old lady Mo's family, there were Mrs. Yi's Lin family and the second lady Huang family, and behind the Huang family were Yi Xiangxiang's sixth sister Yi Ruojiao and seventh sister Yi Ruofan. Next to these two sisters are the second sister-in-law Li Yanping and the fourth sister-in-law Chu Ci, who take care of Yi Huanhuan and Yi Lele respectively. Oh yes, the eleventh young master of the Yi family, that is, Yi Hanxin from the Wang family of the second room, did not attend this banquet because he was still young.

In fact, it stands to reason that Yi Tangquan is white, and the second room cannot participate in today's banquet. But if they are relatives of the queen, it is another matter.

But of course, Yi Xiangxiang didn't think it was too much, and one person got the Tao chicken dog to ascend to heaven! I think that when Yang Guifei was favored back then, the palace concubines had to give up their seats to her sister! Yi Xiangxiang sometimes feels that her family, especially in the big house, is sometimes too low-key.

And sometimes Yi Xiangxiang thinks that she shouldn't be a queen, she should be a favorite concubine! In this way, if you are a little more dissolute, it seems that you will not have to be blamed too much.

It's not like being a queen, no matter what you do, the remarks will spread.

Yi Xiangxiang thought about it in a daze, thinking about the praise of the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, as well as the stories of beauties such as the demon Ji Daji, who was known as the Demon of the Disaster Country, but the fancy praise that sounded below interrupted her.

"The queen mother's twin sisters are really very iconic." The woman who spoke was wearing a green palace dress, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and she also looked extremely standard.

Yi Xiangxiang tilted her head and smiled, but did not speak.

Xiao Dan knew what it meant when he saw her movements, and hurriedly whispered: "This is the Yang beauty of the Drunken Cloud Pavilion of Yikun Palace, and it is the prince of Xiaodongguo Dongyu who dedicated it to the saint, and she was a newly sealed beauty in the past." ”

"No wonder I haven't seen it before, why does Zhao Ziqian collect everyone in the palace! If this is Xiao Dongguo's meticulous work, it will enter our interior in one fell swoop! Yi Xiangxiang secretly rolled her eyes in her heart.

Zhao Ziqian, who was talking to Kang Rui, Xiong Wei and others in the imperial study, sneezed inexplicably, making everyone laugh.

Jiang Hai heard this sneeze, and hurriedly asked the little eunuch to invite the imperial doctor to wait, preparing to wait for the next saint to finish talking about the matter and let the imperial doctor give the whole pulse.

I have to say that those who can sit in the position of the chief eunuch are all capable people.

Zhao Ziqian sneezed and looked back at Changchun Palace.

Although Yi Xiangxiang inexplicably doesn't like Yang Meiren, she understands the reason why she doesn't hit smiling people. She didn't know who this person was just now, so she didn't speak in time, but the two Yi Ruojiao sisters below were not wood, and some of them had already spoken.

"Niangniang's false praise is just the posture of Pu Liu." Yi Ruojiao smiled skillfully, and Yi Ruofu next to her agreed.

Pei Yuchen snorted coldly after hearing Yi Ruojiao's words: "Yang Meiren's position is not enough to reach the mother, Miss Yi Liu, don't call it nonsense, mess up the rules." After she finished speaking, she remembered that this was the queen's mother's family, so she added:

"Miss Yi Liu has to learn the palace rules when she goes back, lest people say that the queen's family is ignorant, and the queen's reputation will be ruined."

Yi Ruojiao is used to being a likable master, since the Wang family gave birth to Yi Hanxin, the waist pole in the second room of the Yi family is also straight, not to mention that after Yi Xiangxiang became the queen, there are many people who please them outside, where have I seen the battle that is choked as soon as I open my mouth! At that moment, his face was flushed and he was stunned.

Concubines and concubines, concubines and concubines can be regarded as mothers.

Although the harem level of the Li Dynasty is not particularly strict, most people still look at the emperor's favor to order dishes, but there are also respects and inferiors.

Among the concubines, the queen is the most noble, there is no doubt about it! And then in order: the imperial concubine; Chaise; Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui, Concubine Shun, Concubine Kang, Concubine Ning; Virtuous concubines, virtuous concubines, Zhuang concubines, Li concubines, Hui concubines, An concubines, and concubines, concubines, and concubines; Zhaoyi, Jieyu, beauty, talent, waiter, lady, etc......

According to the rules of the Rite Dynasty, Zhaoyi and Zhaoyi can only be called titles, just like Feng Zhaoyi can only be called Zhaoyi, and Yang Meiren can only be called a beauty, and they can't be called Niangniang.

Yi Xiangxiang originally wanted to talk to her, but Pei Yuchen's later sentence took her out, and she couldn't make it to fill the hole that Yi Ruojiao pulled out by herself.

It's not that she is not friendly, mainly because of Yi Ruofu's relationship, she has always disliked Yi Ruojiao and Yi Ruofan.

After Zheng Lier heard Pei Yuchen's words, she said as if she had broken the siege: "Concubine You're not right, Miss Yi Liu is not a person in the palace, where do you need to learn what palace rules?" Or have you heard anything about the concubine? Could it be that the Holy Lord wants to summon Miss Yi Liu into the palace to be the companion of the sisters? ”

Zheng Lier is the mother of the concubine, but she can call Pei Yuchen the title of concubine.

After hearing this, Yi Xiangxiang raised her eyes to look at Yi Ruojiao and Yi Ruofan, and saw that sparks flashed in the eyes of these two people.

She looked at Yi Ruofu, who was sitting next to Mrs. Sheng, who threw a steady look at her.

Hey, do you really want to enter the palace for this pair of sisters? Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu's eyes were clear in the lawsuit.

"Sister Lifei, don't speculate, my sister hasn't heard of anything." Although she is also a concubine, Zheng Lier's level is higher than Pei Yuchen's, but Pei Yuchen's tone of speech is still not very polite.

Zheng Lier naturally didn't know Pei Yuchen in general, so she just heard her say: "That's my sister's speculation." She said this to Pei Yuchen.

At the same time as she said the last sentence, she suddenly changed her words and said: "If there is such a pair of sisters accompanying the saint, it will also be a good story." ”

As if by accident, she lowered her head and drank tea after she finished speaking.

Which of the people in the palace, or among the people attending the banquet, was not a human spirit? Everyone knows what Zheng Lier meant.

And at this time, the vast majority of smart people will choose not to speak. However, Yang Meiren of the Drunken Cloud Pavilion is an outsider, and she, as an intern in the harem of the Li Dynasty today, has the enthusiasm of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and she saw her excited "suspicion" of the emperor's heart.

As soon as Concubine Li reminded her, the concubine also felt that the saint estimated that she liked Miss Yi Liu and Miss Yi Qi. As the head of the middle palace, you should also think about the saint. Besides, these twin sisters are still your sisters, and they really happened to come to Changchun Palace to be your companion! ”

Yang Meiren's words came out, and the audience was silent.

Changchun Palace has always been the residence of the queen, and it is not like other palaces such as Chongren Palace, where other palace concubines are arranged to live.

The white eyes in Yi Xiangxiang's heart are about to turn out of the sky, what kind of brain is Dongyu, to make such a "fine work"!

Or is this Yang beauty actually pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

The eldest lady of the Yi family, Lin, originally wanted to speak out to help her daughter Queen Niangniang answer the phone when she heard this, but she was held down by Mo:

"You are the lady of the big house, these two girls are from the second room, and they can't be controlled by you."

Although Mo lowered his voice, Huang, who was sitting on the side, still heard the meaning from this cool tone.

Huang got up, bowed slightly and said to Yang Meiren: "Yang Meiren said that she laughed, although Jiao'er and Fan'er called me mother, their identity ...... Anyway, it is also from the concubine's room, but without your blessing to serve the saint, Yang Meiren don't make fun of them. ”

The Huang family didn't like the two Yi Ruojiao sisters, and although they had to get up and speak at this time, the words they said were not very clever.

Concubine? There are many in this palace.

Yi Xiangxiang turned her gaze to look at Pei Yuchen, and sure enough, she found that this was also the concubine's room and the concubine Pei Tong's shoes, and her pretty face turned black into Bao Qingtian.

However, before the black-faced Pei Yuchen could speak, Tian Yao, a virtuous concubine who had not spoken, opened her mouth: "It's easy to talk about the identity, isn't it also from the concubine's room!" And is there anything dishonorable about the queen's sisters? Or is it actually the queen who is jealous and doesn't want to add people to the harem? ”

Tian Yao's words, that is quite presumptuous!

Everyone was stunned.

The entire Changchun Palace was silent!

The first to come back to her senses was Su Jingxiang: "Presumptuous! Virtuous concubine, you are so bold, the queen is not something you can arrange! Today's banquet is for the ladies and ladies of the various provinces, and the virtuous concubines are not in vain! ”

"What's wrong with me? I'm telling the truth. The saint once lived in Tongzhou Yifu, and had a good impression of Miss Yi Liu and Miss Yi Qi, if it weren't for the queen's jealousy, how could she be that among so many young ladies in the Yi family, only she, an ugly girl without salt, entered the palace? ”

Tian Yao's tone was full of mockery.

Yi Xiangxiang thinks, how is this Tian Yao a bit like Lin Zhixin who was in the Imperial Garden that day? When you don't have a brain, it's like smoking a sheep crazy!

Also, why is there an ugly girl without salt? Yi Xiangxiang was depressed.

Su Jingxiang sighed, only to hear her say to Tian Yao: "Where did you hear the gossip, if Miss Six and Miss Seven got the Holy Favor first, how could it be that the queen mother entered the palace?" Besides, who the Holy Lord pleases, is it up to us to speculate at will? The virtuous concubine has to think twice when she speaks, don't speculate about the holy will! ”

Speculation on the Holy Will! If you talk about it in detail, it will be a punishment.

So Tian Yao became very excited: "Su Jingxiang, don't pretend to scare me, who doesn't know that you are now only Yi Xiangxiang is looking forward, and taking Pei Yuchen to give her stinky feet every day!" I'll tell you that she just doesn't deserve to be a queen! Even if she wins Lin Guifei Niangniang and Boss Duan at the palace banquet, she is not worthy of being a queen! ”

Tian Yao didn't give face to the people in the palace at all.

Su Jingxiang didn't expect Tian Yao to be so bold, and she really didn't know how to answer for a while.

And Pei Yuchen's inner turmoil! That's crazy enthusiasm! She didn't expect that there was anything more awesome than herself! She also dared to scare the noble concubine Lin Zhimeng, who has always been gentle and gentle, and this Tian Yao actually dared to scare the queen!

Is! Good spirit.

Pei Yuchen wanted to take this opportunity to fight against Tian Yao, firstly, because the other party had just scolded her for being a concubine, and secondly, because the other party was friendly with Lin Zhimeng. But just as she was about to speak, a sentence came from outside the hall:

"I want to ask, she is not worthy of being a queen, should you be a queen?"

Zhao Ziqian's cold voice came, and then he was seen wearing a black Yunxiang Fu Bat pattern robe, covered with gold and black with black trim, from outside the Changchun Palace.

Yi Xiangxiang walked down the phoenix seat after seeing the comer, and took the palace concubines and the ladies and nobles of various mansions to pay homage.

After Zhao Ziqian called Ping, he took Yi Xiangxiang to sit on the phoenix seat again, and the emperor and queen sat down side by side.

"You tell me that she is not worthy of being a queen, who is worthy of being a queen?"

Zhao Ziqian's eyes bloomed with a dangerous light, and Tian Yao only felt a thin layer of sweat floating on his back.

Rao is like this, she still stubbornly said: "Holy Lord, the concubine is speaking fairly!" No matter how easy it is...... Regardless of whether Yi Xiangxiang is really talented and virtuous, but her reputation has already spread, how can she be worthy of being an example for the Six Palaces? ”

"What I ask is, who is worthy of being the queen?" Zhao Ziqian's tone of voice became even colder, and the air pressure in Changchun Palace gradually decreased.

Tian Yao is irritable and impulsive, and she doesn't have any scheming, but it doesn't mean that she is really stupid and stupid. At this time, although she wanted to say Lin Zhimeng's name in her heart, she was also afraid of anger, so she kept silent.

Yi Xiangxiang was too lazy to be familiar with Tian Yao, and only she could be this peacemaker, so she saw her appease Zhao Ziqian and said: "The saint is angry, although the virtuous concubine speaks presumptuously, there is nothing wrong with it, and the concubine also knows that everyone has a lot of complaints about the concubine." It doesn't matter, after all, it's not gold, and you can't ask everyone to love concubines. ”

She can indeed understand Tian Yao, after all, she doesn't like Tian Yao much.

Of course, she didn't speak for Tian Yao this time, but it was just that it was not appropriate to have more complications today.

Zhao Ziqian didn't want to listen to Yi Xiangxiang's arrogant words, let alone accept her mediation, he forcibly locked Yi Xiangxiang in the palace, how could he see her wronged.

"The virtuous concubine Tian Yao does not respect the queen and abolish the ......"

However, his words were interrupted by Yi Xiangxiang, and Yi Xiangxiang hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, the virtuous concubine does not choose what to say, and the concubine is indeed angry in her heart. But since you handed over this queen phoenix seal to the concubine, these things have to be solved by the concubine herself! Yi Xiangxiang leaned over slightly, lowered her voice and said, "Today's banquet, don't make more trouble." As for Tian Yao's words, I didn't pay attention to them at all. ”

It's a pity that Zhao Ziqian's expression told her that she didn't want to do that.

Yi Xiangxiang sighed and continued to lower her voice: "If all the people who have opinions about me have to deal with it, then I have to work hard to deal with it, then I must not be exhausted to death!" Besides, I won't punish the virtuous concubine this time, so that she can be a little grateful in her heart, this is called a means, you know? Some people are like springs, the tighter you press, the more she bounces! ”

Jiang Hai and Xiao Dan, who were standing behind them, looked at each other and smiled, and then left three black lines on their heads.

This queen is really ...... How could anyone tell the emperor so bluntly that he was playing tricks!

"I'm not afraid of her rebound!" Zhao Ziqian likes Yi Xiangxiang's straightforwardness, but his attitude is still irreversible.

Seeing this, Yi Xiangxiang pulled Zhao Ziqian's sleeve with her little hand and made a coquettish appearance: "Okay, okay, listen to me in this matter, don't punish it!" I just punished Lin Zhimeng's cousin Lin Zhixin a while ago, and now I punish Tian Yao in her camp, didn't I leave someone to say that I suppressed dissidents! ”

Zhao Ziqian looked at the knuckles of Yi Xiang Xiang's roots on his sleeve, although he was still angry in his heart, he didn't say anything.

So Yi Xiangxiang stood up and said to the people below: "What the virtuous concubine said today, this palace should only be because Lord Tian was frustrated at the palace banquet a few days ago, and she was resentful before she didn't choose to speak, so she didn't want to be held accountable. But this is only this time, not as an example. After the palace was enshrined, the saint gave the palace this position, and the palace must keep its dignity as the lord of the six palaces! ”

"No matter who you are in this palace or which family you come from, this palace asks you to remember that standing in front of you is not only Yi Xiangxiang, but also the mother of a country!"

"Yes, next time, if anyone dares to challenge the rights of this palace in person, then come and see you!"

Changchun Palace was silent in an instant.

See you there!

This is much more serious than the "waste ......" sentence that Zhao Ziqian did not finish.

Su Jingxiang took the lead in standing up and worshipped: "Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

Everyone: "Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
