Chapter Twenty-Three: Someone Got an Idea to Make the Banquet Fun

"See the queen mother, the queen mother is blessed." Everyone in the imperial garden saluted in unison when they heard the shouting and singing of the Yuan Inner Attendant.

"No courtesy, sit down." The queen walked over to the phoenix chair and sat down.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." The ladies all walked to their mothers and sat down, but the sons on the other side of the flower wall were not allowed to sit with their mothers, which was a long-standing rule of the palace banquet.

"I've been talking to your mothers for a long time, and the children aren't in a hurry, are they?" The queen made a very loving appearance

"I don't dare." "The grass people don't dare." "The courtiers don't dare." All the young ladies hurriedly got up and saluted.

"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have it, sit down, just feel free, don't be restrained." The queen looked at the young ladies below as if she were looking at her own children, but in fact, the calculation in her heart did not stop for a moment.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." said that it was not restrained, but none of them were unrestrained, whether it was the palace or in front of the queen, how could they lose the rules.

"Today, I asked your mother to take you into the palace because I wanted such a good scenery, so that you could get to know each other when you came to enjoy the flowers." After the queen finished speaking, she also wanted to meet the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo's family to see if she could match her own son.

Those who can enter the palace are the wives of courtiers with official ranks above the fifth rank, and they are all people who are very good at observing words and feelings.

No, Mrs. Zuo saw the queen like this, and estimated that she wanted to see whose daughter could be worthy of the prince, just now the queen asked her daughter, she must seize this opportunity, Mrs. Zuo Prime Minister immediately followed the queen's words and said: "The queen is really thinking about the children, and these children are really blessed." ”

"Mrs. Wang, just now the palace told you that your eldest daughter is here, it's called Yuqin, where is it, let the palace take a look." The queen stepped on the steps given by the Prime Minister's wife Zuo and said.

Mrs. Zuo hurriedly signaled for her daughter to get up, Wang Yuqin was wearing a blue emerald cigarette shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist and green grass, and a light blue emerald water thin smoke veil. Fold the waist to micro-step, showing the wrist in the light yarn. The eyes are full of spring water and clear waves, and a hollow golden hairpin is obliquely inserted in the bun on the head, decorated with a little purple jade, and the tassel is sprinkled on the green silk. The fragrant jade is tender and delicate, and the fingers are like cutting the root of the onion, such as containing Zhu Dan, and the smile is moving. Mei Hanchun water face is like clotted fat, white jasmine smoke Luo soft yarn, white mopping smoke cage plum blossom water skirt, wearing soft smoke Luo, really a little pink and crispy and delicate taste, and said softly: "The courtiers have seen the queen mother, and the queen mother is blessed." ”

"Hurry up, it's really beautiful, Mrs. Wang, your daughter is so beautiful, presumably Mrs. Wang is spoiled like a baby." The queen smiled and said to Mrs. Zuo.

"The queen mother praised it falsely, but the little girl is not in a hurry about one ten-thousandth of the queen's mother." Mrs. Zuo Prime Minister is inseparable from flattering the queen.

"What Mrs. Wang said made the palace embarrassed, the palace is old, and God has reached the age when it is time to choose a concubine." The queen was very impressed by the words of Mrs. Zuo, and she couldn't see the slightest embarrassment on her face.

"The eldest prince is both civil and military, and he is an example for men in the whole capital and the whole world to learn." Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was in a hurry to perform, and she also wanted her daughter to show her face in front of the queen.

"God's blessing of other places makes the palace worry-free, and the emperor often praises it, but God's marriage makes the palace heartbroken, so don't mention it." The queen shook her head gently, as if she was really heartbroken, picked up the flying flower and moon fan on the table and continued: "Mrs. Sun, what about your sons and daughters, let the palace see it together." ”

"Xian Ge and Shao Hui haven't seen the royal lady yet." Mrs. Shangshu Sun of the Ministry of Industry said hurriedly.

"The grass people see the queen's mother, the queen's mother is blessed." Sun Shaohui's face is as carved as a carving, and his angular face is handsome and abnormal. It looks like a bohemian on the outside, but the inadvertent light in his eyes makes people dare not underestimate it. A pair of black and dense hair was pulled up high by a golden crown, and under a pair of sword eyebrows, there was a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, which looked like an amorous person.

"The courtiers have seen the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is blessed." Sun Xiange's long black hair slid between the snow-white fingers, coiled into a bun, the jade hairpin was loose and hairpinned, and then inserted a silver step, the long beads trembled and drooped, swaying between the temples, the eyebrows were not described, the skin was white and greasy without powder, the lips were pursed, Yan was like a danguo, the wrist was wearing a coral chain and a red jade bracelet, the light pink Luo skirt was dressed, and the emerald ribbon was tied around the waist.

"Get up, no need to be polite." The queen just met Wang Yuqin and felt that she was worthy of her son, so there was a lot more smile on her face.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Sun Shaohui's brother and sister look very similar, and their temperament is also very similar.

"Poor dreams." The queen gestured to her personal palace maid.

Soon Lian Meng held a tray covered with a bright yellow silk cloth in her hand, seeing that the queen nodded slightly, Lian Meng lifted the bright yellow silk cloth, and the queen looked at a set of palace makeup thousand leaves and gold peony jewelry in the tray, which was originally intended for Ning Xin, but unfortunately, Ning Xin did not have this blessing, and felt a little comfortable, and then looked at the person in front of her, and beckoned to Wang Yuqin: "Yuqin, you come forward." ”

"Yes, Queen." Wang Yuqin walked in front of the queen with small steps.

"This palace looks at this set of palace makeup and gold peony jewelry, but it is very suitable for you, and this palace will reward you." It was not surprising that the queen presented this set of palace makeup thousand leaves and gold peony jewelry to Wang Yuqin.

"Thank you, Queen, for the reward." Wang Yuqin accepted the queen's reward very generously and decently.

The queen thought to herself, well, yes, this palace is not mistaken, although there are still some shortcomings, it will be better to teach more in the future, and then the queen is very satisfied and said: "Good boy, get up quickly." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Wang Yuqin was relieved in her heart, she didn't dare to be sloppy in front of the queen, for fear that the queen would look down on herself, but now she can put her heart in her stomach, and the position of her eldest princess is determined, and she is very happy, but her face is not half a point, because the queen wants the queen who can be the queen of the world in the future, not the queen who shows everything on her face, and it is always right to listen to her mother's words.

"Xian Ge, Shao Hui, you two also come to the front." The concubine has been chosen, and then a side concubine will be set, and there will be a side concubine Let Tianyou choose the one she likes, otherwise Tianyou will have to say that the queen mother of this palace will be said.

"Yes, Queen." Sun Xinge and Sun Shaohui stepped forward.

"The hair ornament between the hair of the slender song is too plain, this cloud-footed pearl tendrils hairpin will be rewarded to you, such a beautiful age is the age that should be dressed well. I don't usually pay attention to it in the palace, and I haven't found anything better to reward Shao Hui for a while, so this Qingsi Nanyu Pei will be rewarded to you first, and when the palace finds a better one in the future, I will reward you. Finally, the main concubine and the side concubine were selected, and the queen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Queen, for the reward." Sun Xinge and Sun Shaohui saluted and received the reward.

"Yuge, you should step back first." The queen chose her son's main concubine and side concubine, and her mood naturally improved a lot.

"It's really boring to sit like this while enjoying the flowers, Princess Xiaoyao, do you have any good ideas to talk about." The queen finally reached out to the princess.

Princess Xiaoyao had already expected that the queen's main purpose today had been achieved, and the next thing was to stare at herself, as expected, thinking of this, Princess Xiaoyao was still so gentle and watery and said: "The concubine is stupid, where do you want to get these, or the queen mother, you have more ideas, the queen mother, you will be fine." ”

"Where is Princess Xiaoyao, Princess Xiaoyao was a well-known talented woman in the capital back then, and the palace is also incomparable, I think the Queen Mother praised Princess Xiaoyao as a well-deserved talented woman, where would you not think of these." Princess Yao's show of weakness did not stop the queen.

"The queen mother's words made the concubine feel embarrassed, talented women are a thing of the past, where can compare to the queen mother's current motherhood in the world, the queen mother, do you say it?" Princess Yao's gentle tone remained unchanged.

"Speaking of which, this palace is very envious of Princess Xiaoyao, not only has both children and daughters, but Princess Xiaoyao is getting younger and younger, but it is not like this palace only has such a son as Tianyou, there is no blessing of both children and daughters, and she has an inexhaustible heart all day long." The queen's most angry and carefree princess's unchanged tone seemed to have never put herself in her eyes, no, it should be said that she had never put herself in her eyes at all.

"The queen mother is the mother of a country, in charge of such a huge harem, it is certain to worry about it, the concubine is a small palace backyard, and she does not dare to slack off." Princess Xiaoyao said this in her mouth, but she was more cautious in her heart.

"Who's going to have any idea of making the banquet more interesting?" The queen is not in a hurry for a while, the banquet she held cannot be ruined because of a momentary mood, and in the end it will not be good if the gains outweigh the losses.

"Back to the queen, Yuqin has an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Wang Yuqin also wanted to behave in front of her future mother-in-law, so she said boldly.

"Yuqin, you just say it." The queen is also satisfied with the daughter-in-law she chose, so she is a lot more kind to Wang Yuqin.

"Yes, the queen mother, the courtiers think about such a unique scenery, just look, the courtiers will leave regrets in their hearts, it is better to let the courtiers draw on the paper, and let the sons inscribe a poem on their favorite paintings, the queen mother, what do you think?" Wang Yuqin said softly about her thoughts.

"Yuqin's idea is good, what do you think?" The queen was very satisfied with Wang Yuqin's idea.

"That's what the Queen said." The crowd responded in unison.

"Queen Mother, Yuqin has an uninvited feeling." Wang Yuqin knew that the queen had chosen herself as the eldest princess, so she couldn't have anything to do with other men, so she couldn't participate, otherwise the queen would misunderstand that she was not satisfied with the eldest prince.
