A few days before Rongfeng approached the draft, the emperor's eldest grandson Xiao Rui was full moon, and he was originally going to have a banquet for the officials and his family in the second prince's mansion, but Emperor Jin Yuan was allowed to hold it in the palace, so it was not lively.

Although he is envious of others, he teaches others to be uneasy.

Concubine Zhao Shufei comforted Zhao Qiyao and said: "Teach Mama that they don't leave Rui'er an inch, their eyes are brighter, don't let people move their hands and feet, and hurt Rui'er." ”

Zhao Qiyao covered her eyebrows and smiled: "A-Yao knows." ”

At the palace banquet, all the officials and relatives picked up nice words to flatter Xiao Rui in Zhao Qiyao's arms, but he was a child who had just turned one month but was praised by them as a unique genius in the sky and on earth, although Zhao Qiyao felt a little fake and hypocritical, but the smile on his face and a faint worry never disappeared.

The joy of silk and bamboo is endless, and the dance of staggering is like a shock, Qi Guifei suddenly smiled and looked back at Zhao Qiyao who was under Zhao Shufei: "This palace has not congratulated the second princess and concubine on Lin'er, so happy that the true sect is extremely enviable." ”

Concubine Zhao Shufei held a red wall in her hand, her narrow eyes were gently raised, and she snorted coldly: "What does the concubine envy?" Is there no good news coming from the Three Princes' Mansion yet? I still want to learn from other people's old clam and add another brother to the third prince. ”

Zhao Qiyao blinked, lowered her head and smiled a little, but the expression on her face was still the same, with a respectful and polite appearance, and she couldn't find a trace of fault.

And Rong Feng was also pulled by Huaiyin to sit with her, but they were not far from Concubine Zhao Shu, so they naturally heard it clearly, Rong Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it in Huaiyin's mouth without a trace, only to hear Rong Feng say slowly: "Eat more and talk less." ”

Qi Guifei stiffened slightly, and gently pulled the corners of her mouth: "If I can still add an heir to His Majesty, this palace is also willing." The palace was really anxious when she saw that Concubine Shu was able to contain Sun Rongyi, but there was no good news in the step-son's house. ”

Concubine Zhao Shu's eyes were like silk, and she was a little cold, and she turned her head and said lightly: "The third prince is going to marry the concubine in a few days, and the concubine is still afraid that she won't be able to hold her grandson?" Saying that, she sneered again, "This palace has forgotten that our three princes are the most amorous, and the concubines in the house are all stunning, but the ability to make a fuss is also first-class, and I don't know if these three princesses will have the ability to suppress them in the future." ”

Qi Guifei's eyes were far away, as if she was singing and dancing under the stands, and it seemed to fall on someone, hiding a murderous intention, the smile on her face was like a warm spring breeze but it couldn't blow into people's hearts: "It's normal for my daughter's family to love vinegar and eat acid, but my sister was not like this in front of His Majesty back then." ”

Back then, Concubine Zhao Shu entered the palace and was arrogant, looking down on everyone, but she was coquettish and tender to Emperor Jin Yuan.

Concubine Zhao Shufei raised her hand and shook her hair: "That's Your Majesty likes this palace, Your Majesty always said that let me learn from the concubine a little gentle, but unfortunately it is not the palace if I learn it, and I have been living with a mask, and this palace really doesn't have the heart and patience." ”

Concubine Zhao Shufei turned her head to look at Qi Guifei and mocked: "It's really tiring to death, once this mask is exposed, maybe it will be a catastrophe, and this palace can't afford to gamble." ”

Qi Guifei's eyebrows were lowered, but she was abnormal, and she did not refute Zhao Shufei's hand, and she said meaningfully: "Yes." ”

She held a silver skewer in her hand and put a piece of flesh cut into the size of a fingernail in her mouth and chewed it: "Since the second princess has already given birth, now she has to be distracted to take care of the eldest grandson of the emperor, but there are only two or three concubines in the house, how can she serve the second prince well." ”

Zhao Qiyao raised her head faintly, looking inexplicable but did not speak.

Concubine Zhao Shufei sneered in her heart, as if she couldn't hear it, and gently shook the palace fan.

Huai Yin couldn't help but speak, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of concubines in the Three Emperors' Brothers' Mansion, chickens and dogs jump all day long, and I don't see how to serve him well, before my father ordered the Three Emperors to take care of their own backyards, don't wait a few days for another concubine to suddenly die violently, if the people know, I think that the dignified Three Emperors' Mansion can't even afford to hire a doctor." ”

In the first half of the year, the three princes' mansions killed two concubines one after another, because of their low status, they were suppressed by Qi Guifei, but how can there be an impermeable wall in the world, Emperor Jin Yuan knew that day he punished the three princes for kneeling outside the Xuanzheng Palace, this matter is not known to outsiders, and Huaiyin, who went to the Xuanzheng Palace to make trouble that day, is very clear.

Qi Guifei's eyebrows narrowed slightly, staring at Huaiyin carefully, and the sign in her hand rested on the plate: "Princess Huaiyin has been grounded for a few days, but this temper has not changed at all, but it has wasted Your Majesty's hard work, and I don't know which prince of the family Your Majesty will choose as the princess's concubine in the future, and I don't know if I can suppress the princess's temper." ”

said it was a joke, but the deep meaning made Huaiyin's face change slightly, she lifted her lips, and sneered: "To be honest, what kind of temper do you need, just like the lady said, as long as people who are used to wearing masks are afraid to tell the truth." ”

As he was talking, the dancing girls dancing in the center of the banquet suddenly lowered their hands and dispersed to both sides, and the person who came was Emperor Jin Yuan.

Everyone was about to get up and salute, but was stopped by Emperor Jin Yuan: "There are no rules today." ”

Concubine Zhao Shu and Concubine Qi greeted each other, and Concubine Qi spoke first: "Didn't Your Majesty and the two princes have a banquet for the courtiers in the Huiqing Palace?" Why did you want to be here? ”

Emperor Jin Yuan pinched his heart and said: "I came to see you, what are you talking about just now, although I can't hear it clearly, I can see that you are chatting happily." Bring Rui'er to me. The latter sentence was said to the nurse beside Zhao Qiyao.

The nurse stepped forward and knelt down and said, "The eldest grandson of the emperor greets Your Majesty." ”

Concubine Zhao smiled and slowly glanced at Concubine Qi Guifei, and said with a coquettish smile: "Your Majesty might as well hug Rui'er, this child is obedient and has never liked to cry, but unlike his father, Ah Yao is worry-free." ”

Emperor Jin Yuan stretched out his hand to take the child, recalled the past and said with a smile: "I also remember that after Cheng'er was born, it didn't matter, I always cried and didn't stop crying, and the nursing mother couldn't help it, Concubine Shu took care of her all day long, Cheng'er was fine, but you were sick." ”

Concubine Zhao Shugong covered her face and said: "Cheng'er is a child born to a concubine in October, if there is anything wrong with him, he is ripping my heart as a mother." His Majesty also said that the concubine, at that time, His Majesty was not distressed by Cheng'er, and sent several imperial doctors. ”

Emperor Jin Yuan's eyebrows and eyes slightly gathered a hint of softness, but Qi Guifei's expression was cold when she saw it.

Huai Yin glanced at Rong Feng with his head turned his head, but he turned his body sideways to block Rong Feng behind him, Rong Feng lowered his head and stared at the fruit wine in the cup in front of him silently, but he didn't dare to look at it at all.

Emperor Jin Yuan hugged the child for a while and handed it back to the nurse, and then asked, "By the way, what you are talking about has not yet been told to me." ”

Zhao Qiyao took a step forward, blessed her body and said with a smile: "The concubine is worried that her daughter-in-law will be distracted to take care of Rui'er and will not be able to serve the second prince well, so she wants to be the master and choose a few lovely people to serve the prince for her daughter-in-law." ”

Emperor Jin Yuan chuckled, looked at Qi Guifei and said, "Guifei has always been virtuous. ”

Stretched out his hand and patted her hand, and said, "It's just that you don't have time to take care of your stepson, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of the second prince's mansion." ”

Qi Guifei smiled and responded, but a trace of gloom slowly floated in her eyes, and she said softly: "The concubine looks at Your Majesty's tired thoughts, why don't you step down the dancer and replace someone to come up to care?" ”

Emperor Jin Yuan shook his head and said with low interest: "I am tired of listening to those tunes taught by Siyin Fang, and I know thousands of tunes, but they still have a taste when they pop up, which is really embarrassing for them." ”

Qi Guifei thought about it for a while, and said: "The niece of the concubine is the first in the Kaoqin of the Mountain of No Return, if Your Majesty is willing, let her give it a try." ”

Emperor Jin Yuan nodded, Qi Guifei beckoned to Rong Han, and asked the palace people to go and bring a piano.

Concubine Zhao Shufei suddenly said: "Miss Rong Liu is good at the piano, and it is not bad to think that Lord Rong as a sister is not bad, it is better for the two to play a song together." ”

"Lord Rong?" Emperor Jin Yuan was curious, and he suddenly remembered that Huaiyin was very good with this person, so he said, "Where is Lord Rong?" ”

Huai Yin's heart chuckled, and he was about to speak, but Rong Feng pressed his arm, and saw Rong Feng slowly shaking his head at her.

Rong Feng got up slowly, lowered his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty and Concubine Shu, the sisters in the family belong to the sixth sister's piano is the best, but the courtiers don't know anything about it. ”

Concubine Zhao Shu chased after her and said, "Lord Rong will not deliberately give way to his sister to claim that he can't touch the qin." Lying in front of Your Majesty is a deception. ”

Rong Feng affirmed: "The courtiers really don't know how to touch the qin. ”

Zhao Shufei's eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she didn't like it.

Emperor Jin Yuan half-squinted, unable to see Rong Feng's face clearly, but he was not embarrassed: "Then let the six girls stroke the piano alone." ”

Rong Han frowned slightly, I don't know what Rong Feng meant by this, obviously she was going to enter the palace, and it was best to get His Majesty's favor at this moment, but she just shirked it lightly?

Slowly breathing a sigh of relief, Rong Han said secretly, this is the best, with Rong Feng Zhuyu in front, what else can she show, and her mind must be caressing the qin.

Back at the table, Rong Feng's palms were in a cold sweat, and Huai Yin shook her hand and comforted, "It's okay." ”

Rong Feng slowly raised his head, his eyebrows moved slightly: "I'm fine." ”

But it was Emperor Jin Yuan sitting on the top, holding his forehead with one hand and listening to the music with his eyes closed, and when he raised his eyes slightly, he was facing Shang Rongfeng's raised face, his eyes were condensed, as if he was shocked, but after a moment it returned to normal.

Did he see Ah Hao?

When they opened their eyes and looked over, they didn't see anything, and a palace maid came in front of Rong Feng and them to pour fruit wine for them.

Emperor Jin Yuan's expression was slightly abrupt, and he didn't know what to think again, but he didn't even listen to what Qi Guifei and Zhao Shufei said beside him.

Then he heard a baby crying, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Xiao Rui was held in Qi Guifei's arms at some point.

Emperor Jin Yuan frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Qiyao looked nervously at the child in Qi Guifei's arms, and couldn't wait to rush forward and snatch the child over.
