Bai Shao suddenly became the hottest person in Yanjing City.

The reason is because of Yanshu.

The second prince was overthrown, and the fourth prince took over the things that the second prince had managed before, as if one had fallen out of favor and the other had regained favor.

And Bai Shao was given to Yan Shu by Chrysostom Yuyan, just waiting for her to marry and become the four princesses.

Of course, if the four princes go further, it is not impossible to sit in the position of the first person in the harem.

In short, Bai Shao, who originally had a very high status among the nobles in Yanjing, this time became the best among the nobles, and even the princess faintly had the potential to stand shoulder to shoulder - the princess could not touch that position for the rest of her life, but Bai Shao was very likely, coupled with the support of a Gu Qingfan and a Zhenguo Mansion, Bai Shao's current status in Chengdu is no worse than any of the nobles in Yanjing.

But because of this, her troubles came.

Originally, even if she became the Miss Gu family, because the time was not long, the Gu family had not had time to make a family tree and other things, so Bai Shao was quite low-key in Yanjing, and she pushed it for those banquets, and stayed by the Ruan family's side all day to honor her relatives.

But now, because of the light of the favored Four Princes, she has suddenly become hot.

The first is the banquet that flies like snowflakes, and then there are all kinds of banquets in the palace.

She can still push off the banquets of ordinary people by virtue of her identity, but the big and small banquets in the palace can't be pushed off.

A while ago, because he was worried that Bai Shao would not eat well in Xieyang County, he was worried that he was a little sick, and now his body is still a little weak, and the Lu family is a person who can't be on the stage, and the two aunts are not close to her, so she is the only one who enters the palace and enters the palace.

Moreover, it just so happened that the most recent palace banquet was also the grandest palace banquet in a year - the New Year.

Yan Shu was afraid that she would be embarrassed by forgetting the etiquette, so she deliberately took a few days out of her busy schedule to review the etiquette she had learned before.

Ruan's family also supported his uncomfortable body and gave Bai Shao a trip to enter the palace.

Gu Qingfan brought Bai Wei over and asked her to accompany Bai Shao into the palace.

This is Bai Wei's own request, not to be greedy for freshness, but really worried that Bai Shao will be troubled in the palace alone, although Bai Wei has no effect, but sometimes there is a person as a companion, and he is inexplicably confident.

Soon, the end of the year will be approached.

Nguyen became ill again, and coughed every day in a house full of burnt silver carbon, and even though he drank medicine for three meals a day, he still did not get better.

Bai Shao was very worried, but Ruan persuaded her, saying that her disease was in her bones, and that it was a seasonal disease when she was born.

And, in order to reassure her daughter, she also insisted on choosing the outfit for Bai Shao to wear into the palace today.

Dressed in a lilac dress, the overlapping collar is tattooed with complicated patterns, the heart of the flower is also decorated with pearls, and the skirt is decorated with many beads of various colors.

In order to match this dress, Ruan chose a dark purple crystal hairpin for Bai Shao, inserted it in her high bun, and chose two lilac earrings to wear into her ears, and put two silver bracelets and two gold bracelets on her wrists.

In this era, it is tiring to wear one bracelet with full gold and silver, let alone wearing four, Bai Shao felt uncomfortable, so he wanted to take it off.

Ruan Shi held her hand and told her, "When you go to the deep palace, you need to use silver money to buy people's hearts when you encounter anything, but sometimes it is better to use gold and silver utensils than silver money, and some people you don't need to give some jewelry." So you must wear this bracelet and take it out when you encounter a certain time. ”

In this way, Bai Peony is no longer capricious, so she can only clasp her hands with some heavy hands, ask Hexiang to change her into a pair of fox fur pony boots, and wait for Ruan's to arrange her hair bun and folds before slowly walking out of Ruan's yard.

At this time, Bai Wei also changed his clothes and walked out.

Because of her identity, her clothes are much lighter than Bai Shao, there is no complicated big skirt, no pimple pearl gems, just an elegant green long skirt, the skirt is embroidered with some flowers and butterflies, faintly exposed when walking, and the whole person looks relaxed and happy.

Bai Shao couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, this is the clothes that a girl should wear.

What is this in her......

But Ruan's didn't allow her to take it off, Bai Shao just had to be hard-headed, with a high bun and a jingle ring, and got into the carriage, took the two maids and Bai Wei, and waited for Gu Qingfan to change his clothes and enter the palace together.

This is the first time Bai Shao has entered here, because she has kept in mind the advice of Yan Shu and Ruan, she has been sitting quietly in the carriage with her head down.

It was Bai Wei, who naughtily lifted a corner of the curtain to look outside, but Gu Qingfan glanced at it, she put down the small curtain, turned around and muttered to Bai Shao, "This palace is so big, a wall is as big as a Zhuangzi for ten miles...... By the way, do you know why Shilipu is called Shilipu? Because the whole Zhuangzi walked around for only ten miles, the length of the village in order to appear that it was very large, so it was named Shilipu...... In fact, it didn't even take five miles from the beginning to the end......"

There was a faint smile on the corner of Bai Shao's mouth, and before she could talk to her, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the coachman whispered to her outside, "Miss, the second gate of the palace has arrived, and the next road has to be walked by yourself...... The carriage can't get in. ”

These Yan Shu had already said it, so Bai Shao got out of the carriage very cooperatively, followed behind Gu Qingfan, and passed the second gate together.

After that, because of the difference in the identities of men and women, Gu Qingfan had to go to the front hall, but Bai Shao had to go to the harem, so the brother and sister had to separate.

Gu Qingfan was still a little worried about the two girls, so before they separated, he kept telling the two of them, "Don't be blind, don't be nosy, don't be blind, you must remember that there is no blood in this harem, if you want to be safe, it is the best thing to do." ”

Bai Wei stuck out her tongue at him, how could she feel that Gu Qingfan was saying these words to her.

"Remember, if there is something you can go to Concubine Duan's palace for help, she is the mother of the fourth prince, and she will not harm you no matter what!" After the last sentence, Gu Qingfan glanced at the two women deeply, and followed the eunuch to the front hall.

As for Bai Shao and Bai Wei, there was already a palace maid here, and she saluted them with a smile, and said softly, "This is Miss Gu, come with the slave." ”

Saying that, he took the initiative to walk in front and led the two sisters to Kunning Palace with a humble attitude.

But all women who come to the harem must go to see the queen, which is an unwritten rule, so Bai Shao was not afraid, and entered the Kunning Palace generously, and gave a standard blessing salute to the queen on the phoenix chair.

After seeing her come in, it was still a little noisy Kunning Palace was quiet for a moment, and the queen on the phoenix chair smiled and let Bai Shao pick up, and said softly, "It turns out that the young lady of the Gu family has arrived...... I heard that I recently gave Yan Shu that child, and I will be your queen mother in the future, be good, raise your head and let me take a look. ”

Bai Shao slowly raised his head, only used his peripheral light to quickly sweep the surroundings, and then lowered his eyes, staring at the ground in front of him silently.

"It's such a beautiful woman, no wonder Yan Shu went to ask his father to marry you three times and twice." The queen looked at Bai Shao for a moment, and praised with a smile.

I heard that this queen was only neutralized from the concubine by Emperor Tianyu when she was close to forty years old, and she was not particularly old, and she was only nearly forty years old this year, because she was well maintained, and now she looks like she is only in her early thirties, which is similar to that of the Ruan family.

Perhaps because of her lack of favor, the queen has never had an heir, so she can praise Bai Shao so without any guilt.

However, just after she praised Bai Shao, a woman sitting on one side who was also wearing palace clothes also smiled and said, "Speaking of signs, who else in the entire palace can compare to the queen mother's logo, as the saying goes, women give birth to children are old fast, and the queen mother can be so delicate and beautiful, it is really Your Majesty's favor." ”

This is said as a compliment on the surface, but in fact, it is secretly derogatory to the queen that she does not even have an heir.

Bai Shao, who had been hanging her eyelids and not speaking, chuckled in her heart, secretly glanced at the woman with her spare eyes, and said in her heart that this person should be the mother of the second prince.

The relationship between the queen and the concubine is known to the whole Yanjing people, the queen occupies the identity of a concubine, but the concubine gave birth to a son, although he is not long, but he has always been quite the emperor's blue eye, so the two of them are half a catty to eight taels, and they have always been incompatible.

But it's usually just incompatible, and there's no time when such a big horn pokes people's wounds.

Bai Shao secretly analyzed, thinking that it might be that the second prince was brought down by the fourth prince, and the partial queen praised the future fourth princess, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the concubine, so she poked the queen's wound so deliberately.

Thinking so, she quietly raised her eyelids and glanced at the queen, but unexpectedly found that the queen was not angry, but kept a smiling expression, and said to the woman in the palace clothes, "What my sister said is that this palace is nearly forty years old and can still be maintained like this, compared to my sister's age of almost fifty, it is already a great honor." If it weren't for the fact that there were so many guests to entertain, I really wanted to share the maintenance stuff with my sister. ”

The women in the palace call their sisters and sisters not based on age, but on status.

So don't look at the concubine called Sister Queen, in fact, she is five or six years older than the Queen.

As for the face, he is seven or eight years older than the queen.

There is the force majeure factor of age, but more of it is still worried about the second prince these days.

Who doesn't care about age and appearance, the queen's words can be regarded as not soft or hard to win back a game for herself, and secretly mentioned that the concubine is now a lot of people, telling her to restrain a little.

Sure enough, the concubine glanced at the people around her and hung her head in anger.

The queen nodded with satisfaction, looked at Bai Shao and said softly, "Since Miss Gu is here, let's sit down and rest, come on, move two embroidery piers for Miss Gu, and wait for a few princesses to come over, and then we will go to the front hall together." ”

Bai Shao nodded softly, and after the two palace maids put the embroidery pier away, they picked one of them and sat down with Bai Wei.

During this period, she looked around and secretly analyzed it, and made sure that the mother concubine of the fourth prince did not come, so she sat in place with her eyes and nose.

The so-called palace banquet is generally entered before dark, and the singing and dancing begin after dark.

Now the sky is still bright, and the men in the front hall gather together to talk, and the women in the harem can only sit here.

There are quite a few people who whisper because they are too bored.

Bai Shao and Bai Wei listened with their ears sideways, which was a pastime.

waited until the sun set and the sky was about to get dark, and the queen took the initiative to stand up and took a group of mighty women to the front hall.

Because of his identity, and because Bai Shao is not familiar with anyone, he has always been at the back.

In front of her was a young woman who looked to be in her early thirties, very imposing, smiling faintly all the time, and never speaking anything to anyone.

At first, Bai Shao didn't know her identity, but when she entered the front hall, someone came to salute her, and Bai Shao knew that the young woman in front of her was actually the eldest princess.

Inexplicably, Bai Shao remembered the word "concubine".

However, when she thought that she was not married to Yan Shu yet, she calmed down again and followed the eldest princess into the front hall.

At this time, the eldest princess seemed to have noticed Bai Shao, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and greeted her in a very pleasant voice, "Hello, Miss Gu,"

"Bang Qing has seen the eldest princess." Bai Shao bowed to her slightly.

"But don't be so polite, let the four princes see it, you have to feel distressed, and you can't say that you have to blame me in your heart." The eldest princess seemed to be a very interesting person, and laughed at Bai Shao and Yan Shu during her conversation.

At this time, Bai Shao could only blush and hang her head, making a look of bewilderment.

The eldest princess knew that she was embarrassed, so she chuckled lightly and said nothing, turned around and walked to the innermost position of the hall and sat down.

Bai Shao breathed a sigh of relief, picked one at the front of the seat of Miss Shijia, and sat down.

At a banquet like this, everyone's seating is very particular.

For example, the royal family sat in the position closest to the emperor, with men on one side and women on the other. The Maison is a little further back, in the middle. Further out near the entrance of the main hall are the children of various adults who are not from the family.

Among them, the status of the royal family is relatively high, such as the eldest princess, who sits very close to the emperor, and is still in the first row.

Among the families, such as Bai Peony, they also have to sit in the first row in the middle.

"Shao'er......" At this time, Bai Wei, who had never dared to speak before, saw that there was some noise around him, and he was not afraid that someone would notice him, so he gently tugged on Bai Shao's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Shao'er, I always have some bad feelings in my heart." ”

"What's the bad feeling?" Bai Shao was stunned when she heard this, and turned her head and asked.

Bai Wei bit her lower lip and whispered, "You lowered your head just now, but you didn't see it, there was always some pity in the eyes of the eldest princess looking at us." ”
