Don't think about it, Huo Guifei's birthday banquet was delayed.

When he returned to the main hall of Xifu Palace and sat down, Changtai had already brought Huo Guifei, who had changed into a rose-red Wanbian palace dress, to take a seat. In previous years, there would be a queen on the other side of Changtai, and there was only this day every year, Changtai insisted, and Huo Guifei could sit on an equal footing with the queen. However, this year, the queen was relegated to Weiyang Palace by the queen mother to "recuperate", and so far she has not received the queen mother's edict to recover, and the patient is inappropriate to appear at the birthday banquet, so Queen Zhou is interested in using her own physical discomfort as an excuse, so she only asked An Xia to come over in person to give a gift, said a few words of congratulations, and then took Huo Guifei's return gift and retreated.

In the nearest place of Changtai and Huo Guifei, there is already a person sitting on the left, it is Mrs. Xuanguo, originally Dayong followed the ancient system, and the king did not see the minister's wife, but Mrs. Xuanguo was the mother of Huo Guifei, and the other was old, Changtai intended to give the concubine dignity, so Mrs. Xuanguo crossed the second concubine Shude and sat on the left head.

As for the right head, it is for the crown prince and the princes. From the right, except for the second seat, there are already people seated, the prince Gan Lin is holding the gold bottle and drinking carelessly, the prince seems to be drinking very well, the feast has not been opened, he has drunk at least four or five bottles, but he still looks calm, his eyes are clear. The third highness Gan Tang, who was separated by a seat, had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know what he was thinking, as for the fourth highness Gan Mei and the fifth highness Gan Pei, they were all concentrating on eating the melons and fruits presented in front of them. The only vacant second seat is particularly eye-catching.

Changtai looked everywhere, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, which made Huo Guifei, who was smiling and smiling on the side, anxious.

At this moment, there was a notice from the outside that the King of Chu, the Lord of Danzhu, and Su Ruhui had arrived with the little son of the Huo family, and the palace was a little surprised, the people here were basically not the first time to celebrate Huo Guifei's birthday, today in previous years, the King of Chu must have arrived early, this year is so late, it has already made people think, at best, it is the King of Chu Mo has prepared something novel to give the concubine a birthday, so it is late, to think about the worst, the eyes have already swept over Huo Guifei's obviously bulging abdomen.

But now that I heard such a group of people coming together, there were not only women in this palace, but also a large group of concubines living in the palace, and when they heard the announcement, they all subconsciously looked at the prince Ganlin.

Gan Lin smiled indifferently and said to Changtai, who was uncertain: "Father, the second brother has always come early today in previous years, and today is about to be stumped by something, so it will be late, and please don't be angry with Mother Huo, after all, Mother Huo is still pregnant, and she should be happy today." The prince's words were persuasion, but he specifically mentioned the pregnancy of Concubine Tihuo, and the intention was not asked.

Huo Guifei refused to be fooled, and said lightly: "Thank you for the prince's concern, but Ran'er was raised by the palace himself, what kind of person is he and what kind of personality. Zi Bengong knows best, originally he was still worried when he came late, but at this moment, I heard that he came with Danzhu, Miss Su, and Hui'er, and Bengong knew what was going on. ”

"Oh?" Although Changtai was a little unhappy when he saw that Gan Ran was late, but there are many people today, and Gan Ran is usually his favorite son, so he naturally didn't want to spread the gossip that the mother and son were out of harmony or that the king of Chu was not filial, so he turned his head and said warmly, "What's going on?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Lord of Danzhu and Miss Su came early, and when they saw that the main hall had not yet been arranged, they went to the dormitory to congratulate the palace, and the concubine happened to have some considerate words to say to her mother and sister-in-law, plus Hui'er entered the palace for the first time, so she asked them to take Hui'er around the neighborhood, but they were told not to get too close to the pool." Huo Guifei was sensitive, and immediately found an excuse for the group of people who had not yet come in, and she was actually given seven or eight points, "At that time, I mentioned it so casually, I just thought that the county lord of Danzhu and the Miss Su family were raised in the palace, but they forgot that they were not familiar with the concubine's Xifu Palace, thinking that they took the concubine's casual remarks as a serious matter, but they were embarrassed that they didn't know each other, and they happened to meet Ran'er coming, and the county lord of Danzhu and the Miss Su family asked Ran'er to help, so they delayed the hour and came over together." ”

Huo Guifei didn't say these words out loud, but Mrs. Xuanguo was close, and seeing that Changtai's face was not very good, she kept her mind, but she understood it, and was busy pleading with Changtai at the table: "It must be Huo Hui's first time entering the palace, lingering excessively, missing the time, and even affecting His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the Lord of Danzhu and Miss Su, these are all concubines and concubines who teach Sun Wufang, and please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"Madame doesn't have to be like that." Changtai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Huo Hui is considered to be the cousin of the King of Chu, and he is still young, so the King of Chu should take him to play once." As for the mistake of Zi'er's birthday banquet......"

Huo Guifei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's a cloudy day today, and the corona is not clear, so maybe it's because of this that I estimated the wrong time!" Besides, how can you rush to punish people on people's birthdays? ”

Changtai was in a good mood when she was flattered, and he slapped his hands and smiled: "I know that Zi'er is merciful, but don't I love my son?" Moreover, there is a matter of punishment that is fitting today. ”

Gan Ran and his entourage were finally passed into the main hall, and in the face of all kinds of eyes, they heard Changtai personally explain his punishment: each person was fined three bottles of wine.

Mrs. Xuanguo had just pleaded guilty for her grandson, but when she heard Changtai's order to take it so lightly, she became sad, her lips squirmed, and she looked at her daughter for help.

Huo Guifei understood, pulled Changtai's sleeve and said angrily: "Although Your Majesty's punishment is appropriate, but he has wronged the nephew of the concubine, Huo Hui is only seven years old, how can he drink three bottles?" ”

As soon as Huo Guifei's words fell, His Royal Highness Gan Ran had already bowed his hand and said: "Father, my cousin is young, and my son is willing to be punished on his behalf!" ”

"This ...... Yet! When Huo Guifei heard this, she was worried about Gan Ran, Changtai laughed when she heard this, and said, "Very good, I'm right." ”

At the moment, the waiter held three gold bottles, and presented them one by one to Gan Ran, Danzhu and Su Ruhui, Nian Meng personally hugged a jar of lychee green, and was about to open the seal, when Gan Pei, who was closest to him, saw it at a glance, and said in surprise: "How can Mama give this wine to the second brother?" This has always been drunk by the concubines, and the second brother wants to be punished, so naturally he has to punish Bingxin Brew! ”

Huo Guifei's eyes sank slightly, but Changtai said, "Yes, go and change it." ”

Nian Meng was helpless, so he had to change it to Bingxin Brew again, Gan Pei's eyes rolled, and he jumped up and shouted: "The punishment of wine was said by my father himself, Mama can't help the second brother to bully the king, this wine has to be poured for us first, and see if it is really Bingxin Brew!" ”

Changtai was bent on seeing this liveliness, and besides, he heard that Gan Ran's wine was acceptable, so he smiled and agreed, Huo Guifei frowned and said: "Ran'er drinks Bingxin Brew, Bingxin Brew, Danzhu County Lord and Miss Su are both girls, and the two of them are lychee green." ”

"Mother Huo, this can't be done!" Gan Pei leaned on the small sale and said loudly, "Since they are late together, the punishment should be fair, not to mention that Sister Danzhu and Sister Ruhui may not have this amount of alcohol, and the mother concubine should not underestimate them!" ”

Huo Guifei saw that Changtai was very interested, and knew that she couldn't brush his mind at this moment, so she sighed secretly and quietly called Nianxin: "Tell the small kitchen to quickly make sobering soup, and also, let the palace people's eyes brighten up a little, and greet the county lord and the Su family, if there is something wrong, I will find an excuse to help them go to the side hall to rest." ”

Mind is busy receiving orders to arrange.
