Sent away the mother and son of the Wen family, Yuan Muqing finally had time to rest, but the concierge sent an invitation card, the queen mother's birthday invited hundreds of officials and officials, because it was the whole ten birthdays, naturally sloppy, seeing that the palace banquet was tomorrow, and he was the "queen mother's person", the queen mother must be suspicious under the shirk, thinking that she could not escape.

She doesn't know what to wear, she can't be idle on this day, she is now the wife of the prime minister, or a bride, all the civil and military officials are looking at her, she can't lose face to Lu Qingfeng.

The next day, the Queen Mother's birthday, Lu Qingfeng rested, and did not go to the court, it was rare to have half a day, Yuan Muqing wanted to let him sleep lazy, but where could he sleep, he usually had to prepare for the court every morning, and now he has developed a habit, it is better to get up and see his little wife to take care of himself.

Yuan Muqing is wearing a goose yellow tunic today, which complements the water ripple green dress she prepared, which looks tender and tender, green and not eye-catching, she is the most suitable to wear, but the dress prepared according to the etiquette system is bulky, layer by layer, and it is really heavy.

Yuan Mu Qing first wore a middle coat and asked Ye Zi to help her comb her hair, she was about to pick up the copper dai thrush, but she was picked up by Lu Qingfeng, who returned from changing her clothes, Yuan Mu Qing knew that today's matter was important, and it was different Lu Qingfeng was making a fuss.

"Alas, Shen Shen has nothing to do in the afternoon, and learns thrush from Zhang Sheng." Lu Qingfeng casually chanted poetry, and his intention to help his wife's thrush was very clear.

Yuan Muqing knew that she was chanting "Left and Right Newlywed Poems" about the loving scene of the newlyweds thrushing together, she usually rarely had thrushes, and her eyebrows were quite appropriate, but today with so many officials and relatives present, if she didn't thrush, she would be gossiped about by good deeds.

"Xianggong, spare me, it's not too early." At this critical moment, Yuan Muqing knew that Lu Qingfeng would eat soft or hard, so he hurriedly begged for mercy.

But Lu Qingfeng trusts his craft very much, and his painting is also one of the best in Beijing, how could he not paint this eyebrow well.

"Don't move, good." Lu Qingfeng coaxed in a low voice, and Ye Zi combed his hair in the back and combed it almost enough, so he quickly sneaked down and didn't disturb the thrush of Xiangye and Mrs. Xiang.

Yuan Muqing saw that Lu Qingfeng had to start, so he could only obediently close his eyes and wait, he could only feel that Lu Qingfeng was gently drawing on his eyebrows, and he was like a vase to be glazed, held in the palm of his hand, one stroke at a time, gradually taking shape.

When she opened her eyes again, she couldn't help laughing, Lu Qingfeng is indeed not bad at painting, it seems that the prime minister can go to the shop to help other people's thrushes for a living, she just thinks about it, such a good technique, where is she willing to do it.

"Xiangye draws so well, how many girls have practiced with him." Yuan Muqing teased him, and the prime minister replied seriously.

"There are no less than 100 of them." Lu Qingfeng felt funny in his heart, and replied to her with a serious appearance.

When Yuan Muqing heard this, he glared at him angrily, he didn't expect him to draw so much! Lecher!

"Okay, okay, it's all a portrait of Empress E, Guanyin Nuwa." Lu Qingfeng scraped Yuan Muqing's nose affectionately with his index finger, looked at his jealous little wife, and felt very cute.

After putting on makeup, Lu Qingfeng also helped her tidy up her skirt and helped her put on her clothes one by one, looking serious, just like watching excerpts on weekdays to deal with official business, but she didn't expect that the prime minister above tens of thousands of people would help his wife dress her thrush at home. Yuan Muqing's heart was very sweet.

Sitting in the carriage that should be matched by the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is the first time that Yuan Muqing has taken this frame, luxurious and exquisite, spacious and comfortable, it turns out that when the Prime Minister still has this kind of treatment, he does not like to swagger when he goes out on weekdays, and it is also the blessing of the Queen Mother that he dares to sit in this car.

Arrived at the gate of the palace, led by the maid who had been waiting for a long time, to Renshou Palace, along the way the adults from all the prefectures came to greet Lu Qingfeng, most of them were in order, seeing Lu Qingfeng take his wife out for the first time, it was very fresh, but looking at the expressionless face of the prime minister, everyone consciously said hello and hurried away.

Yuan Muqing had never seen Lu Qingfeng's appearance in front of his colleagues, and he was so majestic that people didn't dare to talk to him.

Lu Qingfeng noticed Yuan Muqing's eyes, and suddenly stretched out his hand to cover the small face, Yuan Muqing didn't know what this meant, so he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Qingfeng changed his hand and blocked both of them in the shade, with wide robes and large sleeves, it was easy to do this. He leaned forward suddenly, "It's okay, I'll help you block the sun." Yuan Muqing couldn't help but think that he was funny, how could the late autumn sun be so sunny, he could still bear it.

Sensing that there were already officials around, Yuan Muqing hurriedly approached Lu Qingfeng, pulled down the hands he raised, and replied shyly, "Okay, many people are looking at us." ”

Lu Qingfeng saw that there were indeed officials looking at them like watching a play, he glared back one by one, and the good deeds noticed the prime minister's threatening gaze, and quickly withdrew their eyes one by one.

Lu Qingfeng knew that his wife was thin-skinned, so he didn't continue to raise his sleeves, but just adjusted his position, so that the little girl happened to walk under his shadow, Yuan Muqing didn't notice Lu Qingfeng's intentions, but found that he walked very strangely, and he only looked like himself.

After walking for a short time, she finally arrived in front of Renshou Palace, dozens of steps discouraged Yuan Muqing in a dress, she walked up, Lu Qingfeng helped her carry her clothes, staring at whether she stepped on her dress, Yuan Muqing went up the steps and didn't care about herself, and she didn't have time to care about other people's eyes, just let her husband help her sort out the skirt.

Fang Manzhu saw the prime minister and his wife on more than a dozen steps from a distance, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, watching the prime minister she admired in the past willingly help her wife sort out her clothes, how could she not be envious, if it weren't for Yuan Muqing, she would be standing beside the prime minister now.

Looking at Nan Yitian in front of him, Fang Manzhu took two quick steps to keep up and rolled up his sleeve.

Nan Yitian did not go directly to the banquet, but entered the inner hall through the side door where he often walked, Fang Manzhu was not familiar with Renshou Palace, but she knew that she should only keep it in general.

After passing through the tortuous corridor and entering the inner hall, Nan Yitian suddenly stopped, and Fang Manzhu also saluted.

"My nephew visits the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old."

The Queen Mother, who was wearing a dress, did not stop the movements of her subordinates, and knew who it was just by listening to the voice.

"Well, why did you bring a woman today?" The queen mother appreciated this nephew most like herself when she was young, and the old ministers who followed the emperor may know that this nephew was not raised in Nanfu since he was a child, but the illegitimate son of the eldest brother, and later the sister-in-law died of illness, so he took Nan Yitian back to the Nan family, because he lived a hard life when he was a child, and he was also clever and likable, so he came to this day step by step.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Manzhu was the daughter of the Fang family before." Nan Yitian replied to his aunt in a warm voice.

The Queen Mother remembered that before Nan Yitian disregarded the interests and helped a person surnamed Fang get rid of his crimes, it was originally this woman's family. Later, I also asked Xiao Zhengzi on duty to inquire, this girl of the Fang family is outstanding in appearance and talent, and when I look at it today, she is comparable to the Yuan family in appearance, but the two little girls are very different in temperament.

However, this Fang Manzhu is also good, at least it should be a scheming, and it is also a good knife to use against the Lu family.

Fang Manzhu heard Nan Yitian mention her, and slowly stepped forward to salute, "Concubine Manzhu, I have seen the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother stay forever and live a long life." ”

The Queen Mother turned around, looked at the woman saluting in front of her, and nodded, it was really good.

"Get up, assist Yi Tian well, I won't treat you badly."

"Yes." Fang Manzhu stood up, she had also seen the world, and knew that this was equivalent to getting the queen mother's talisman.

"Your wife is pregnant, it's good not to come." Nan Yitian lowered her head when she heard this, the Queen Mother was beating her for bringing a concubine, but as long as the Queen Mother supported her, it could be justified.

Nan Yitian was the best at pleasing the Queen Mother, and hurriedly handed Fang Manzhu a color. Fang Manzhu hurriedly stepped forward, "Queen Mother, Manzhu is here to serve you." She took the phoenix hairpin in the hands of the palace maid and helped the queen mother tidy up her head.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything to stop her, let her serve, this little girl is transparent and decent, she is gentle in her hands, and she is dressed decently, if it is not for the Fang family, she can also be a main house.

The Queen Mother looked at Fang Manzhu from the mirror, spoke softly, and said, "You have already broken the rules by attending the table as a concubine today, do you know." ”

The Queen Mother nodded at Fang Manzhu outside of her words, and Fang Manzhu didn't know that she was just a concubine now, if she didn't have the support of the Queen Mother, how could she walk on top of the hall.

Fang Manzhu is also an official lady who has seen the world, although her mother's family is now in decline, but her cultivation and experience are indeed declining, the work in her hands has not stopped, she gently pinched up another phoenix hairpin and inserted it symmetrically into the hair of the Queen Mother, the movements are gentle and accurate, clean and neat.

She said softly: "Yes, the queen mother and her husband are in love, and the little girl can be ranked at the birthday banquet, so she will cherish this opportunity." ”

Fang Manzhu is confident, this rare opportunity, the Queen Mother and Nan Yitian have supported herself, how can she not cherish it? She secretly made up her mind in her heart that this time she must expose Yuan Muqing's true face and trample on her dignity on the ground, so that Yuan Muqing would be even more ridiculed than her own concubine.

The Queen Mother caught Fang Manzhu's serious ruthlessness, and nodded with satisfaction, although she didn't know what she was going to do, but she also had a brain, so good.

"You can remember, as long as I can assist Yi Tian, I will naturally reward you well, and it is not impossible to be a lady." The Queen Mother said.

The Queen Mother knew in her heart that Nan Yitian's wife was indeed not compatible with her nephew, not to mention anything else, it was her background, and she was very dissatisfied, but this nephew was protecting her openly and secretly, and the Queen Mother didn't know about the affairs of Nanfu, but it was just not good.

But if this Fang Manzhu is really useful, she doesn't mind taking this opportunity to help a suitable person to take the position, so that Nan Yitian can no longer protect that person. The one she hated.

Fang Manzhu was overjoyed, she was getting closer and closer to her goal, she didn't expect to take this opportunity to drive down the lady that Nan Yitian had been protecting, and when the time came, she would make the main house, and she would no longer be inferior to Yuan Muqing, the daughter of a martial artist.

Fang Manzhu hurriedly knelt down and thanked the Queen Mother, secretly praying that today's event would be successful.

Nan Yitian drank tea behind the curtain tent, and listened to the conversation between the Queen Mother and Fang Manzhu in the curtain tent clearly, he knew that the Queen Mother had always disliked the person, but he married her as a wife, but if the Queen Mother really dared to hurt her, he couldn't let the Queen Mother succeed even if he tried his best, if this Fang Manzhu was done today, he would definitely not be able to stay. No one can hurt his wife, not even the Queen Mother, who is kind to him.

Everyone in the front hall sat down, on the right side of the main seat, the prime minister and his wife sat at the head of the seat, on the left side of the main seat, General Yuan Yi complained of illness and did not come, and Dingyuan Wang Zhanchen sat in the second seat, the first seat was empty, and it was estimated that it was left to the queen mother's nephew Nan Yitian.

Yuan Muqing knew that his father was resting at home again, and he didn't want to attend these banquets, he was a veteran, Yuan Muqing knew him best, and his father was not interested in anything other than fighting, but fortunately, the civil and military officials had long been used to it, and the emperor had never blamed him.

She looked at Zhan Chen, the king of Dingyuan, who was sitting opposite, and nodded slightly, it was a greeting, and Zhan Chen also responded to her. She remembered that Zhan Chen's father had military merits, and he attacked the lord of the family, but she didn't know what was going on, she was Yuan Yi's daughter and was very familiar with the imperial court's troops, and Zhan Chen didn't seem to have military power in his hands.

Yuan Muqing didn't want to ask Lu Qingfeng too much, so he could only take a look when he had nothing to do.

The palace is splendid, the copper gilded filigree nine peach bat smoker is smoked is the queen mother's favorite sandalwood, the carpet of the hundred longevity pattern is spread from the first seat to the last seat, it can be seen that the queen mother's birthday, the palace is quite important.

Yuan Muqing suddenly thought that he was busy cleaning up, but he forgot to prepare a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, and looked at Lu Qingfeng busily. She whispered, "I...... I forgot to bring a birthday gift. ”

It was Lu Qingfeng who made trouble, he kept interrupting her steps to go out, causing her to forget such an important event, now it's okay, the Queen Mother didn't like Lu Qingfeng, and this time she offended the Queen Mother even more.

Lu Qingfeng looked at her with a smile, she was already sitting in Renshou Palace, and this little girl remembered this matter. Fortunately, I had already handed over this matter to Kuang Lu, and the birthday gift was handed over early, otherwise I am afraid that I would not be able to get out of this Renshou Palace today.

"Don't be nervous, I'm all set." Lu Qingfeng grabbed her hand under the table and patted it soothingly. Yuan Muqing's nervous heart finally let go, she was really too stupid, she didn't even think about such an important thing.

The emperor was already present, chatting with hundreds of officials, and everyone was waiting for the queen mother.

It's just that Yuan Muqing couldn't believe that he would see the person who shouldn't have appeared at the table.
