，

There were many people inside and outside the imperial city, and everyone came to watch the county lord of Lecheng enter Beijing, laughing, pointing, and sighing, and there was one more rumor, and there was one more gossip.

I don't know who spread the news, and the dignitaries and street fortune tellers all participated, and the boiling momentum was maintained for several hours, until the convoy entered the palace.

Liu Li sat in the car, his face was dark and heavy, and Gao Hai was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

After entering the palace, the noise finally became quieter, and the surrounding area was quiet, and the oppressive atmosphere here made Liu Li feel happy for the first time.

Opening his eyes, Liu Li looked at Gao Hai and asked softly, "Is everything going well?"

"Smooth, at this time, Gongzi Yu has already met the Queen Mother and the Great Prince!"

Liu Li nodded and glanced at the carriage in front of him dissatisfied. "Later, my cousin is going to see the queen mother, do you think I will go?"

"It's... ......Gao Hai couldn't speak, he knew that the emperor didn't like Xue Lingyue, but he also knew that this situation did not allow freedom and willfulness. "Your Majesty, you brought the county lord back, this is already good! If you are tired, you can go back and rest!"

"But if I don't go, the queen mother will definitely keep her for a long time......"

Gao Hai thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Then let's go! The emperor is present, and he can also express his attitude, so he won't be too passive!"

"I wanted to refuse directly, but I had to consider her family power, this is really difficult! The queen mother wants to leave a scourge by my side, and my attitude is very critical at this time, but... But I haven't figured it out yet......"

"Is the emperor worried about Xue Concubine?"

Liu Li looked away, tilted his head to the side, and replied with a little sadness: "I'm worried about what she's doing? She won't care about this! Gao Hai, don't talk about her from now on!"

"Why?" Gao Hai looked at Liu Li suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "You... You ...... again."

"No, this time it's a farewell!" Liu Li sighed and said seriously: "From now on, don't mention everything in Zuiyue Xuan to me, do you know?"

At noon, the Imperial Dining Pavilion.

Flowers and plants are lovely, aromatherapy is tempered, and dancing is pleasant. The royal family members sat down, the waiters and palace maids were ready, the dance music was changed to a relaxed and soft one, and more than a dozen palace maids came slowly with dishes.

The Queen Mother sat on the high place of the main hall, Liu Li, Liu Yi, and Liu Zhong on the left, and Xue Lingyue, Tang Ruren, and Qian Cainu on the right.

"Yue'er, do you still like the banquet that your aunt set up for you?"

Xue Lingyue smiled and was tender, and replied gently: "Aunt has a heart, Yue'er likes it! I haven't seen her for many years, my aunt still remembers Yue'er's preferences, it's really flattering!"

"Although I haven't seen you for many years, everyone is always thinking about you! My aunt is nothing, and she likes to remember these things when she is old. However, the emperor has a deep affection for you, not only greeting you personally, but also accompanying you for a long time...... My aunt hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, and he doesn't have time to accompany his aunt at any time!"

After Xue Lingyue heard this, she hid her face and smiled. "Auntie, don't want to be like this, you are an ageless beauty, how can you say that you are old? Brother Li is filial and considerate to his aunt, but he has been busy recently, and I hope that my aunt will not mind the appearance of Yue'er, I dare not compare with my aunt and share the honor!"

After Xue Lingyue finished speaking, she quietly glanced at Liu Li, who was expressionless, and then lowered her head and snickered, acting squirming and shy.

The queen mother only cared about going back and forth with Xue Lingyue, greeting and lyrical, ignoring the indifferent looks of the three princes, and she couldn't see the unhappy appearance of the two concubines, as if there were only the two of them in this banquet.

I don't know how long it took, everyone got used to it, and they found their own comfort point, so it's a big deal not to listen to the Queen Mother's words.

Tang Ruren only appreciates the beauty of the emperor, and Qian Cainu only cares about eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, both of whom have lived in the deep palace for a long time and are in decline. There were less than two people at this banquet, one of them was lustful and the other loved money, and the Queen Mother went casually, even if she was such a foil, she was willing and full of joy.

After being silent for a long time, seeing that the people of Liugong died and the virtuous concubine declined, the two of them were still cautious and afraid of things, and did not dare to overstep, this time not only wanted to come out to breathe, but also wanted to be able to admire the beauty and taste the deliciousness.

The Queen Mother knew that Concubine Xue would not come, and she did not plan to let her come, so she coerced and lured the two remaining concubines in the harem.

Liu Li had a cold face, didn't say a word, and drank indifferently. The three princes were at the same pace, and they were all bored and embarrassed, so they drank wine together, and occasionally toasted each other.

Except for the three people here, all of them are women, and an inexplicable embarrassment and estrangement are born.

"Brother Li!" Xue Lingyue smiled at Liu Li, raised her glass and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Li for taking care of me recently, Yue'er toasts you! May Beihua become more and more prosperous, and may Brother Li be healthy and happy!"

Liu Li slowly raised the glass, but his eyes fell on Tang Ruren casually, and he drank all the wine in the cup without saying a word. Xue Lingyue smiled awkwardly, then drank wine as well, and quietly looked at the low-key woman beside her.

Tang Ruren smiled, there was a beautiful pear vortex at the corner of his mouth, his skin was white and beautiful, his eyebrows were affectionate, except for the decoration was a little cleaner, and the dress style was weird, and the overall look was a beauty.

Xue Lingyue didn't look at it much, she didn't want to waste her eyes on others, she even felt that it was a shame to sit side by side with Tang Ruren.

Earlier, Xue Lingyue inquired about it, this Tang Ruren is the daughter of the envoy of the Imperial Medical Department, but she is the daughter of the envoy of the Tai Hospital, which is not enough to make Xue Lingyue feel afraid. Moreover, judging from her performance in the two years she entered the palace, Xue Lingyue concluded that she was a cowardly, timid, conservative and unscrupulous person, after all, she never participated in palace fights and court fights, and the emperor's only good impression of her was this.

As for Qian Cainu, her status is even lower, she is just the daughter of a seven-rank official, but she was selected by the Queen Mother to make up the number.

In short, Xue Lingyue is quite confident in her future, because before the banquet, she heard from the Queen Mother that her rival had also fallen.

"Yue'er, what are you thinking?"

Xue Lingyue came back to her senses and smiled lightly. "Auntie, Yue'er hasn't entered the palace for many years, I'm afraid that I'm unfamiliar with people, and I'm still trying to remember, and I hope my aunt won't laugh at it!"

"Oh, who do you remember?" The Queen Mother looked at Xue Lingyue with interest, and then looked at the Qian Cainu who had shining-eyed eyes and didn't care about her image, and coughed lightly. "That's... Qian Cainu, you... You didn't eat breakfast, did you?"

Qian Cainu was stunned, stopped the chopsticks in her hand, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then replied respectfully: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, the concubine thinks this dish is extremely delicious, and she can't take care of the image for a while, I hope you understand!"

Xue Lingyue smiled softly, then turned her head gently, and looked at the embarrassed Qian Cainu through Tang Ruren. "I heard that this girl is the best dancer in Beihua, and I feel like this when I look at it. It's enviable that Sister Cai doesn't have to deliberately keep her figure, but it also shows that the banquet set by her aunt is in line with people's tastes, Yue'er likes this wine, and my sister likes dishes, and I think they are all people who are also lucky enough to be blessed!"

"Yue'er is really sweet-mouthed, so when she says this, that aunt can't blame Qian Cainu!" The Queen Mother smiled indifferently, stared at Xue Lingyue and said, "The emperor should be blamed for this matter......! Two years have passed, and you don't know who you're thinking about, and you haven't even been lucky enough to have a concubine! My aunt has become obsessed with hugging an emperor and grandson, which is still a little sad to say!"

At this point, everyone understands what the Queen Mother means, isn't this for Concubine Liu Li?

Here, apart from Xue Lingyue, who is not a person in the palace? The intention is too obvious.

"Auntie, how can you blame Brother Li for this? He has the world in mind and has his own big things to do, so naturally he has neglected these flower-like sisters! However, Brother Li is still young, and his aunt is also in her prime, and the days ahead will be long! Don't worry, aunt, it's only a matter of time before you embrace the emperor's grandson!"

The Queen Mother laughed a few times, and asked in a high tone: "Yue'er is so determined, is it to share the worries of your aunt?" The emperor seems to be good to you, have you ever thought of entering the palace to accompany him?"

Xue Lingyue was startled, ashamed and unspeakable, touched her face and whispered back: "Auntie, don't laugh!"

"Queen Mother!" Liu Li finally spoke, he had already refused earlier, and now it was the third time, his face was cold and heavy, and there was still a little impatience in his expression. "Please don't talk about it anymore, don't talk about it, aren't I related to my cousin? How can I talk such nonsense?"

The word nonsense came out, Xue Lingyue and the queen mother couldn't hang up at the same time, and were stunned for a long time before smiling awkwardly.

"What's so bad about this kiss and kiss? Yue'er and the mourning family are cousins, and they are farther away from you, so why worry?"

Liu Li replied with a smile: "Then why didn't the queen mother give the eldest brother a marriage? The eldest brother has also taken off his customs, it's time to marry a wife and have children!"

The Queen Mother's smile froze on her face, and her eyes were erratic. "Your Majesty, is this unwilling?"

"Doesn't the queen mother just want to hug the emperor and grandson? Which prince is not the same? Even if it is the heir of me, there are still three concubines in the harem, and the sons and daughters have not been compensated one by one, how can they accept people again?"

The Queen Mother sneered twice, "If the mourning family has to give marriage, what does the emperor want?"
