On the second day of the first lunar month, the eldest princesses returned to the palace.

At the first moment of the first day of the morning, the eldest princesses and the captains of the horses went to the gate to wait, and at the second moment of the first day of the morning, there were dozens of attendants who walked to the door to greet them.

The eldest princesses and the horses and lieutenants boarded the palace, first went to the Buddha Hall, followed the deacons to worship the Buddha at the moment of Chenzheng, and then went to the Yongming Hall to worship the ancestors and ancestors at the second moment of Chenzheng, and then went to the resting hall to worship the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager and Empress Zhen, and finally went to the Huiyou Hall to meet the emperor at the moment of Sizheng.

When all the ceremonies were finished, it was already the beginning of the afternoon. The palace banquet divides the male guests and female dependents into two places, the male guests are in the Tai'an Palace, and the female guests are in the Jinguang Palace.

Right Zhaoyi Li family to welcome Pengcheng princess Yuan Yu, now by him to take care of the harem, this golden light hall should be furnished to Yuan Yu's preferences.

The palace is just like the palace banquet in the old year, Chen is burned with white jade incense burner, and the furnace is burned with Yuan Yu's favorite rhino cinnamon incense. On the couch, spread the mat made by Shujiang brocade, and the mat is placed next to the calcined hand stove. On the long table of several tables, the white jade vase is inserted with red plums picked in the morning. The dishes and cups used are also made of white jade, only chopsticks, this year, Li deliberately took the white jade as the material, decorated with gold as the hat, and made a gold inlaid jade chopstick, taking the princesses and the horses are the meaning of the good fate of gold and jade.

The eldest princess under the age of 30 Chinese New Year's Eve entered the palace today to celebrate the New Year, and when everyone entered the Golden Light Hall, they saw that the furnishings in the hall were extravagant and ordinary, flashy and vulgar, and they were full of praise for the Li family.

Although Queen Feng was unhappy when she heard that everyone praised Li's words, she was hindered by the fact that the people who spoke were all the eldest princesses of her branch, so she couldn't express herself. lost her eyes at Chanmei, Chanmei understood in her heart, so she said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the auspicious time for the palace banquet has arrived, please invite the eldest princesses to the table." ”

When they heard this, they gradually stopped their voices and took their seats.

Feng sits in the main hall with his back to the north, on the left is Zhaoyi, the two ladies and the concubines, the wives, the princess and Feng Ji and the prince's left and right children, and on the right are the eldest princesses who entered the palace today.

Feng raised his glass and looked around at everyone, and said: "In the old years, Your Majesty moved the capital to Luoyang, and the eldest princesses and concubines also supported Your Majesty to move here, Your Majesty and I are very relieved. Today, the eldest princess returns to the palace, and my majesty respects all the princesses, and I wish you a prosperous and safe New Year. ”

As soon as Feng's voice fell, everyone also raised their glasses and said in unison: "May the Great Wei River and Mountains be eternal, may Your Majesty's holy body be forever, and may the Empress be happy for a long time!" With that, everyone drank all the wine in their cups.

Changshan princess Yuan Jin is the head of the eldest princess of this dynasty, and when everyone drank the first cup of wine, Yuan Jin poured the cup full with the maid again, and everyone opened their mouths: "In these years, there will always be snow in the first day, the so-called Ruixue trillion year, because His Majesty is the government is clear, so that I have a bumper harvest of grains in the Great Wei Dynasty, and the country is safe and secure." My sisters respect Your Majesty and the Empress, and may the Emperor and Queen be of one heart and the country will last forever. ”

Feng Shi was happy in his heart when he heard this, swept away the displeasure in Fang Cai's heart, and said happily: "What Princess Changshan said is very true, I will work with Your Majesty with one heart and one mind, and open the foundation of the prosperous world for my Great Wei." ”

Right Zhaoyi Li saw Yuan Jin's praise of Feng's disdain, thought about it slightly, and pretended to compliment: "The queen's mother is the world, and she is an example for the women of the world. ”

Raising his cup, Li continued: "The concubine has the trust of His Majesty and the queen, and takes care of the harem on behalf of the queen. The concubine would like to use this cup to wish the queen and the eldest princess all the best. ”

Princess Lelang Yuan Zheng was already friendly with the Li family because of Concubine Lu, and when she heard the words of the Li family, she immediately answered: "Right Zhaoyi Lan Xinhui quality, don't say that preparing this small palace banquet is the grand event of the relocation of the old palace, I see that it is also orderly, Your Majesty and the queen are really discerning." ”

Li said with a smile: "Princess Lelang praised me falsely, but it was Your Majesty and the Queen who blessed me to make everything go smoothly." ”

Who in the banquet didn't know that before moving the palace, the queen lost the right to govern the palace because she was grounded by the emperor, and the words of the Li family sounded like praising the queen, but secretly they were extremely ridiculous.

Feng Shi was secretly annoyed in his heart, but the words of Li and Yuan Zheng were powerless to refute. When Feng was hating in his heart, he only heard Princess Le'an Yuan Yuan speak: "What You Zhaoyi said is true, Your Majesty is a generation of Ming Jun is deeply blessed, and the queen is the wife of His Majesty's middle palace, so she is in harmony with Your Majesty Luan Feng and Ming, bless all living beings, with Your Majesty and the queen in the shade, what else in the world is not going well?" ”

Yuan Trowel's sister Ma Duwei married Feng's cousin, so when he heard the words of Li and Yuan Zheng, Yuan Trowel spoke out to help Feng. With Yuan Yuan's support, Feng's face eased.

The Li family wanted to embarrass the Feng family with this, but unexpectedly was intercepted by Yuan Yuan, although he was annoyed in his heart, he did not change his face and said: "What Princess Le'an said is very true, the queen is noble, and the blessing is unattainable. ”

Glancing at the left and right sons in the banquet, the Li family thought about it, and continued: "The concubine wishes that the queen can also bless the left and right children, so that the two of them can open up branches and leaves for the prince as soon as possible, and continue the bloodline of my Great Wei Emperor's heir." ”

Feng was already disgusted with the Li family, and knew that the Li family had been very close to Zheng Qiao recently, and when he heard that he mentioned the left and right children, he squinted at the Li family, and said angrily: "The prince is in his youth, and he marries the wife of the concubine in the future, so he can give birth to an heir for the prince, so why worry about no one to continue the bloodline of the emperor's heir?" ”

As soon as the Feng family finished speaking, Princess Yuanyu of Pengcheng opened her mouth: "The queen's meaning, if it is not the wife, you can't continue the bloodline of the imperial heir for the prince?" The former queen mother is not the wife of the first emperor, and the royal brother and I are not children, I don't know what the queen means? ”

Feng didn't expect Yuan Yu to have this intention, and he was shocked and pale.

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect Yuan Yu to say this, the matter involved the first queen mother and the emperor, and no one spoke up again. The people at the banquet were like Mrs. Yuan, who sweated for Feng's family, some who didn't care about themselves, and some who sat and watched the jokes with cold eyes.

Feng Ji, who was sitting beside He, saw her aunt's panicked face, so she opened her mouth and said, "Princess Pengcheng, you may have misunderstood the queen, the queen must be..."

Before Feng Ji could speak, Yuan Yu shouted: "Presumptuous! I'm talking to the Queen, when will it be your turn to interject? You are also a famous lady, and the imperial brother taught you by Zuo Zhaoyi, I don't know if you are vulgar, or Zuo Zhaoyi has not fulfilled the responsibility of teaching, so presumptuous and disrespectful! ”

Feng Ji was young in the end, and when she heard this, she was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly lowered her head and said: "The princess is angry, Ji'er is not intentionally offended, Ji'er just..."

Yuan Yu wanted to provoke trouble today, looking for a place where He was not, but he didn't have the opportunity. Hearing Feng Ji's words at this time, how could Yuan Yu miss this opportunity: "Just how?" If you offend your elders first, but you make quibbles, even if I don't care about you, but there are so many elders at the table, and your majesty wants to make you the crown prince and concubine, then you should act appropriately, and not disobey the elders. ”

Between Yuan Yu's words, he turned his gaze coldly to He beside Feng Ji.
