The graceful and luxurious queen, surrounded by a large number of people, came with all the money.

She was joined by several other women.

Three of them look similar in age to the queen, but they are still beautiful and charming.

The other two women looked much younger and pretty, also dressed in gorgeous dresses.

Mu Qingyue quietly raised her eyes and looked, just in time to see the queen coming towards her, she hurriedly lowered her head.

I saw the queen walk to the top position, with a graceful smile on her face, waved her hand and said, "Get up and sit down." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" The crowd shouted in response.

After the queen sat down, the others took their seats.

After sitting down, Mu Qingyue glanced at the other women.

Come to think of it, those three older women should be the emperor's concubines.

Those two young women must be princesses.

She remembered that the emperor of the dynasty, Xiahou Qing, had four sons and two daughters. A Yu princess and a Jing princess.

When she secretly looked at those people, the queen spoke up: "This palace invites you to enter the palace today, nothing else, I just want you to enter the palace to accompany the palace to be lively, and you don't have to be restrained." ”

Having said that, everyone knows very well in their hearts that today's banquet is not as simple as the queen said.

The real purpose of this banquet was prepared by the queen in order to find the crown princess herself.

Mu Qingyue glanced around at the people present and found that except for her, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, Su Ruoqing, and Mu Yunlan, the three of them were dressed in a very low-key manner, and everyone else was dressed up.

As far as the eye can see, it is a ring of fat swallows and thin, and it is beautiful!

The queen said a few more words, and then announced that the banquet had begun.

At the banquet, everyone toasted to the queen and said words of blessing.

The young women even tried to express themselves in a way that wanted to make a good impression in front of the queen.

After a woman finished introducing herself, Mu Qingyue saw Mu Hanyan standing up.

"The courtiers smoked and wished the queen a long life like the East China Sea, and a longevity better than the old pine of Nanshan."

With that, she drank the wine in her glass.

Mu Qingyue looked at her calmly, but she couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart.

Today is not the queen's birthday, is Mu Hanyan's congratulations really appropriate?

The queen still had an easy-going but dignified smile on her face: "You are the daughter of Prime Minister Mu's family?" Hongu has heard your name. ”

Mu Hanyan was overjoyed when she heard this, even if she hid it well, she still showed a hint of smugness on her face.

The queen has heard of her, does this mean that she is one step closer to the position of crown princess?

"I heard that you are of good character and outstanding talent, and when I saw you today, it was really extraordinary! Prime Minister Mu Cheng's teaching is good! The queen praised without hesitation.

Mu Hanyan was even more happy, and the corners of his mouth rose in a deeper arc.

But there was still a shy look on her face, and she said: "The queen's mother is too famous, but it is just a false praise from outsiders to the courtiers, and the courtiers can't afford it." ”

"Humility is not in a hurry, not arrogant or impatient, not bad!" The queen smiled more obviously, and seemed to be very satisfied with Mu Hanyan, "Grandma Sun, give Hanyan the jade hairpin in the palace." ”

"Yes, sissy." Mama received the order and immediately asked the palace maid to present the hairpin that had been prepared a long time ago in front of Mu Hanyan.

Today's banquet will definitely be rewarded by the queen, so she has prepared a reward gift long before coming to the imperial garden.

Mu Hanyan was overjoyed, hurriedly walked out of her seat, and knelt down respectfully to salute: "Courtier, thank the queen for her reward." ”

"Get up." The queen smiled and waved her hand.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Mu Hanyan got up and returned to his seat with the box containing the hairpin, with a happy smile on his face that could not be concealed.

The queen rewarded Mu Hanyan, which immediately attracted the greed of others, and her eyes were full of envy and jealousy when she looked at Mu Hanyan.

Only Mu Qingyue didn't care about it, and still ate snacks leisurely.

Does this Mu Hanyan really think that the queen likes her very much?

The queen chose her to reward her, but because she was the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

For Mu Qixian's sake, he just rewarded her.

Look at this Mu Hanyan so happy, I can't close my mouth!

Xu was that her performance was too calm, and she immediately attracted the attention of the queen.

"Who is that woman? Hongu looks very eye-catching. ”

The queen's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned their attention to Mu Qingyue.

Mu Qingyue had just picked up a piece of dim sum and was about to put it in her mouth, when she heard the queen ask her, she had to put the dim sum back on the plate.

Except for the queen and others who arrived at the end, the rest of the people already knew her identity.

Therefore, when the queen asked about her at this time, everyone else looked at her with a good look, and some even smiled gloatingly.

This person is Mu Wanling.

Mu Qingyue glanced at Mu Wanling, and just as she was about to stand up, she saw that the Chu clan was the first to get up.

"Back to the queen's mother, this is Qingyue, the concubine of the courtier's family. According to the queen's will, she should not have entered the palace for a banquet, but the courtiers thought that her sisters had entered the palace, and leaving her alone at home would only make her feel lonely, so the courtiers dared to take Qingyue into the palace together. I also asked the queen to punish her. ”

Her words are a good demonstration of her impartiality, magnanimity, and compassion for her concubines.

But it made Mu Qingyue couldn't help but sneer.

This Chu clan pretends to be quite similar!

The queen didn't know why, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by this?" Why shouldn't she go to the palace for a banquet? ”

Without waiting for Chu to answer, a graceful and luxurious concubine sitting under the queen spoke thoughtfully.

"Mu Qingyue? Concubine Ben seems to have heard of this person. She is the eldest lady Mu Qingyue who was unmarried and pregnant in the Prime Minister's Mansion five years ago? ”

Mu Qingyue smiled self-deprecatingly when she heard this, even the concubines in the palace heard about the events of the year, and this spread quite far!

Chu hurriedly responded: "Concubine Xi is right, she is Mu Qingyue. It's all because the courtiers have no way to teach, so she did such a humiliating thing. ”

When Concubine Xi heard this, her face suddenly showed disgust: "In that case, why did you bring her into the palace?" Don't you know what the queen's decree says? The queen invited a woman who had not yet left the cabinet, she was already a mother, how could she come to the banquet? ”

Chu Shi suddenly showed a trembling look, and said with sincere fear: "Concubine Xi is angry, the courtiers are guilty, and please punish the queen and Concubine Xi!" ”

Concubine Xi's face still had a look of disgust, but the queen frowned slightly, her eyes fell on Mu Qingyue's body, and there was a bit of scrutiny in her eyes.

This Mu family woman made her a little curious.

Everyone was talking about her, and their eyes looked at her with disgust.

But she behaved so calmly and calmly, as if it wasn't her.

On the face of the country and the city, there was not the slightest nervousness and panic on the face of the outstanding appearance.

This state of mind made the queen a little impressed.

Sensing the queen's gaze towards her, Mu Qingyue slowly got up and saluted respectfully towards the queen.

"The queen mother, the courtiers are fortunate to be able to enter the palace to participate in the banquet set up by the queen's mother, which is really a blessing that the courtiers have cultivated in their previous lives. If the arrival of the courtiers spoils the Yaxing of the mothers, the courtiers feel deeply guilty and ask the queen to punish them. ”

Pretend to be humble and pretend to be pitiful, who wouldn't?

Is it only her Chu mother and daughter?

Mu Qingyue secretly sneered in her heart, but her face was full of sincerity and respect.

"Queen Mother, when my mother told her that she was going to enter the palace for a banquet today, the courtiers were very panicked. How can a courtier, how can she enter the palace to participate in the banquet set up by the queen's mother? ”

But the mother told the courtiers that the queen mother was kind-hearted, generous and merciful, and would not blame the courtiers, so the courtiers had the courage to follow their mother into the palace. Moreover, the courtiers didn't know that what the queen invited today was a woman who had not yet left the cabinet. ”

Mu Qingyue had a humble posture, and her voice was also soft and weak, and she looked pitiful.

Her performance like this really made the eyes of the Chu family and other Mu family widen.

Is this still the Mu Qingyue they know?

When did Mu Qingyue look so weak and pitiful?

Mu Qingyue ignored them and continued: "The courtiers know that it is useless to say this, the courtiers have violated the will of the queen, this is an unchangeable fact, so please ask the queen to punish her!" ”

There was silence at the banquet, and everyone looked at her for a moment, with a look and curiosity in their eyes.

Everyone present has heard of the deeds of the eldest lady who is pregnant before marriage in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It is said that she was kicked out of the house by Prime Minister Mu Cheng as early as five years ago, and she only came back on the old lady's birthday this month.

But her behavior at this time did not look like she had lived in the countryside for five years.

Between these gestures, words and deeds, she is completely like a beautiful girl, and her words are full of respect for the queen.

is even more decently than Mu Hanyan just now.

Gradually, everyone looked at her and unconsciously dyed with a touch of appreciation.

Even the queen's eyes were full of appreciation.

"He who does not know is not guilty. As I said just now, today's banquet is to let you enter the palace to accompany the palace to be lively, since you are all here, sit down. The queen said with a wave of her hand.

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Mu Qingyue still looked respectful, and sat down.

I have a little more affection for this queen in my heart.

She originally thought that this empress of the dynasty would be a very majestic and difficult person to touch.

I didn't expect it to be quite easy-going.

It is no wonder that he will teach Xiahou Lin's noble and elegant, but approachable son.

If there is a mother, there must be a son!

Mu Qingyue sighed secretly in her heart, but Mu Hanyan glared at her resentfully.

Originally, she was the one who was in the limelight, but she didn't expect to be robbed of the limelight by Mu Qingyue!

The queen mother not only did not punish Mu Qingyue, but pardoned her!

This made Mu Hanyan's heart very dissatisfied.
