The carriage was full of congratulatory gifts in front of the palace Zhenglong Gate, densely packed like ants, and the brightly dressed ladies and ladies drove off the carriage with a smile on their faces under the support of their subordinates.

"Madame, young ladies, please go to the Tailuan Hall with the slaves and maids." Under the command of Mr. Zhang, the palace maid respectfully led the nobles outside the palace to give the eldest princess a birthday.

"This palace is really magnificent, daughter, you have to be more competitive, hurry up and marry into this palace, so that not only will you enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life, but your family will also be stained." The family members of several officials enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the palaces, palaces and gardens along the road, and couldn't help but be greedy, and persuaded their daughters to marry into the palace of the heavenly family in the future.

"Don't say it, now that the king is over fifty years old, he is dying, Queen Xiangyi is jealous, our daughter is still young, she must marry the next king." There are people who have no shelter, talking about the prince.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is losing power now, could it be that you are optimistic about the Second Highness who has just been favored now?"

As soon as the words fell, a big palace maid who led the way in front walked steadily to the back, dressed in a pink palace skirt with a dignified appearance, and bowed to several noble ladies: "Madam, the Tailuan Palace will arrive soon, there are many people, and I hope that the ladies will be cautious in their words and deeds." ”

"You ......" One of them wanted to teach the slave and maid who climbed to the master's head a lesson, but the other few who did not dare to make trouble hurriedly stopped them, they knew best that this palace was no better than the outside, and if they said the wrong word, it would be a matter of losing their heads.

"What this palace maid said is very true, let's not talk much, the girl should lead the way quickly, so as not to delay the princess's banquet."

"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, please come to the slaves."

The woman who provoked the conversation looked angry, and when she saw that no one was on her side, she was helpless, so she flicked her sleeve and glared at the big palace maid, and then squinted her eyes and followed her in the direction of the feast with a proud posture.

A few noble ladies followed a few people, although the words were vague and had no ending, but Ah Rong heard it clearly, she lifted her spirit and followed Qiushui, who served by Zhong Lixun's side.

Zhong Lixun walked quietly in front of Rong Caiyin's slender waist with a happy face, Ah Rong looked up and could see his slender black back, only to hear Rong Caiyin cover his lips and chuckle, and his tone was quite flattering: "Your Highness, now that you are in power, and your father is also on Yin'er's side to help you, the king will definitely use His Highness again in the future." ”

Rong Caiyin looked at Zhong Lixun's eyes with infinite admiration, these words have a hidden meaning, and the people around him who have a little brain know what Mrs. Yin means, and the reuse is just a side knock to say that His Royal Highness will ascend to the position of the prince.

Looking at the entire Lidu, everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Prince has fallen out of favor with the king because of his mistakes, and His Royal Highness has raided the Yuan Mansion under the jurisdiction of the prince, no matter how the prince was valued in the past, now he is only afraid that he has lost the trust of the king, and Rong Caiyin's words are not exaggerated.

Zhong Lixun's thin lips smiled, noncommittal: "What Yin'er said is that the Rongguo Gong court serves his life, and His Royal Highness works for his father, which is naturally good." ”

There are other officials on the palace road, as soon as they saw Zhong Lixun, they immediately came over to salute and talk, the world is going down, and His Royal Highness is different from the past.

"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness Er, and His Royal Highness is in harmony with the princess's sister and brother, which is really a blessing for the king." Princess Erguang has always been with the crown prince all the way, but she turned a blind eye to the second royal highness, the royal brother, and did not wait to see it, this minister flattered so outrageously, but the rest of the officials still cheekily agreed.

Zhong Lixun carried his hands behind his back, his deep robe and wide sleeves, and he was dignified, talking with the officials while walking, and accepting the flattery of the officials. Ah Rong stood behind, faintly feeling uneasy, Zhong Lixun has always been recuperated and knows how to hide and converge, and his unsuccessful appearance in the past has confused many people, but now why is he getting carried away!?

Miaolan has been crazy with joy since Sister Ah Rong came back, and today my sister accompanied Her Royal Highness into the palace, and she also asked for an errand to come with her.

"Sister, what are you thinking? Sister look over there, is that person the prince? Ah Rong was held by a hand, and it was Miaolan with a curious face who asked her a person who came from the other side of the palace.

The comer's face was violent, his stride was like a meteor, his robe was rolling, and he was coming towards Zhong Lixun's side with a fierce momentum, who is not the prince!?

Ah Rong was startled, and hid sideways behind Miaolan, and Zhong Liyong couldn't see her this time.

"Miaolan, do you know the prince?" Miaolan has never been out of the house, why do you know Zhong Liyong!?

Miao Lan whispered without thinking: "When my sister was away, when Miao Lan was serving tea, I heard His Royal Highness discuss the prince with Lord Gongliang, Lord Wei Chi and later Rong Guogong, saying that the prince was violent, acted arrogantly, and kidnapped his sister, but His Royal Highness sent Lord Hefeng to stare at the prince secretly, so Miao Lan knew that her sister could come back, sister, look at the prince, isn't his face full of anger, domineering and arrogant?" ”

It turns out that Zhong Lixun has been looking for himself! Ah Rong's heart jumped.

Zhong Liyong glanced around, and saw several officials rushing to curry favor, so he was naturally unhappy: "It's Brother Wang, Sister Wang's birthday in the past few years, Brother Wang is still the first time to come to congratulate, it is really unexpected Brother Wang." ”

"Brother Wang laughed, Sister Wang's annual birthday Brother Wang didn't go, but Sister Wang had no intention of inviting me, I didn't invite me, wouldn't it annoy Sister Wang even more? But this year is different, Sister Wang specially sent someone to Brother Wang's mansion to place an invitation, and Brother Wang naturally came happily. Zhong Lixun smiled softly, but his eyes were sharp, in fact, Princess Erguang didn't send him any invitations, he did this just to anger Zhong Liyong.

Who couldn't hear that these words were satirizing Princess Erguang's different attitudes towards him?

Zhong Liyong's face didn't need to think about it, he knew that he must be extremely blue, Zhong Lixun left with a light smile, Ah Rong was shocked by their verbal dispute, and at the same time, he was glad that Zhong Liyong did not find out.

Tailuan Palace, singing and dancing.

The long banquet table is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, fine wines and fruits, and the next seat of the birthday banquet is full of civil and military officials, the upper seat is the prince and nobles, respecting the prince, the Ming concubine who has always been famous and elegant, and his daughter Princess Changning, and the main seat is the old Chu King and Queen Xiangyi and today's protagonist Princess Erguang.

"Erguang, today is your birthday, and the queen mother toasts you." The middle-aged woman in the phoenix-crowned robe and the dignified and noble woman smiled happily, and at this glance, this woman who was above 10,000 people under one person was a little kind.

"Erguang also respects his father and the king, and respects his mother." Princess Erguang raised her jade wine glass and said with a well-behaved smile.

Zhong Licang laughed loudly on the high seat, and a pair of sharp eyes were shining: "Good! All right! Today is Erguang's birthday, Lone is happy, everyone should not be restrained, eat and drink at will. ”

"Sister Ah Rong, this Princess Erguang and Queen Xiangyi are so extraordinary, you see their clothes, they are so beautiful and dazzling." Miaolan's family background is not good, and she thought that she was extremely rich and noble when she entered the Second Highness's Mansion to wait, and it turned out that the palace was even more eye-opening.

Ah Rong just smiled: "Well, we are slaves and maids, and they are masters, so naturally they can't be compared." ”

Princess Erguang was brilliant in a treasure peacock tail dress, and the noble lady kept toasting and talking to her with a smile, and then His Royal Highness got up indifferently and said: "Father, queen mother, Xun'er has prepared a big gift for Sister Wang's birthday, and I hope the eldest sister likes it." ”

At one point, there was an uproar, His Royal Highness was really deliberately getting close to the eldest princess and boosting the prestige of the court!

Zhong Licang smiled with relief: "Well, if you have a heart, please present it and take a look." ”

Queen Xiangyi and Princess Erguang gritted their teeth in their hearts, this concubine has always been untreated by the king, but he came uninvited at this birthday banquet, and this gift is also flattering in every way, is it to invite merit in front of the king? I really underestimated him in the past!

"Yin'er, present it."

His Royal Highness had already instructed Rong Caiyin to give a gift, but she had other plans.

"Luo'er, you can take this gift." Rong Caiyin glanced at Qinghe who was accompanying behind, Qinghe immediately gave the tray to Luo'er, but Qinghe glanced at Ah Rong after letting go of his hand.

Why Luoer? Is this what Zhong Lixun means?

Ah Rong quickly stepped forward and walked to Luo'er's side, she can't be too intimate with Luo'er now, but Zhong Lixun arranged Luo'er's gift, Luo'er was afraid that she couldn't cope with it when she was young: "Luo'er, give it to me, sister help you." ”

Luo Er nodded happily to Ah Rong, Ah Rong didn't think much about it, and walked carefully towards the center of the banquet, but the people present instantly changed color.

At this time, a high-pitched angry shout outside the banquet said: "Finally let Prince Ben find you!" ”
