"Your Majesty, the queen, the concubine has arrived." The voice of the chamberlain shouting sounded again.

Everyone hurriedly stood up and hurriedly walked to the gate of the courtyard to bow down.

After a long journey, I saw a middle-aged man in a yellow dragon robe appear in sight.

He was much older than the young king in Lu Chang's memory, and he was obviously much more depressed, and his health was not very good at first glance.

They were followed by two women who had always been hostile but evenly matched, and they were also the two most valuable women in the world.

"Long live my emperor, long live the queen."

"Let's all be flat, today is a chrysanthemum feast, no need to be polite." The emperor said with a warm face.

It's just a polite remark, if anyone really takes it seriously and doesn't abide by the dignity, he will definitely be put in small shoes every minute.

Mrs. Yuan, the lady of the Yuan family of the Three Dynasties, or the aunt of the queen, has to kneel honestly.

The queen also hurriedly spoke: "Auntie doesn't need to be polite, all the ladies and ladies are also seated." ”

It is said to be appreciating chrysanthemums, but it is just appreciating the most powerful "chrysanthemums" in the world.

The emperor and the queen have already occupied the most honorable position with the concubine, and after the rest of the people sat down in turn according to their identities, the chrysanthemum banquet officially began.

Although everyone was much more restrained with the presence of these most valuable people in the world, this was also the best opportunity to show themselves.

Mrs. Yuan is the main person in charge of this banquet, and she is also the most noble aunt and grandmother of the Yubo Hou family, and it is of course like a fish in water to preside over such a large banquet.

The opening is to invite someone to bring out a few cherished varieties that won this year's Dou Chrysanthemum Festival to open everyone's eyes, after all, it is a chrysanthemum banquet, although it is essentially a blind date banquet, but it is also always a little fig leaf, and at the same time give those talented ladies and sons the opportunity to show their talents.

This year's Kao is a double-headed ink chrysanthemum, the shape is graceful, is the most famous florist family in the south of the Yangtze River Tan family cultivated, once won the title of Kao, it was sent to the capital non-stop, the maintenance fee can be called sky-high, enough for a medium-sized family to eat and drink for a lifetime, not to mention in order to make this Kao can appear the most perfect, but also let the best children of the Tan family follow all the way, which is the mind, non-wealthy nobles can not afford to consume.

The introduction of Kao is a very young boy, if it weren't for the fact that this pot of Kao is very valuable, and will never let ordinary people get close, I'm afraid that the boy will be hacked to death as soon as he comes on stage.

"Grass people Tan Songyu, knock on the emperor and queen and concubine."

Looking at such a young flower cultivator, the emperor suddenly became interested.

"Get up, how old are you to take on such a heavy responsibility."

"Back to the emperor, the grass people are eighteen this year, the grass people have been learning the way to raise flowers with their grandfather and father since they were young, and their grandfather and father are old, and they are afraid that they will snub the flower king because of their lack of physical strength after a long journey, so they are escorted by the grass people." Tan Songyu seemed to have known that he was too young to be questioned, so he prepared his rhetoric early.

Sure enough, the emperor listened, and looked at Kao very energetically, of course he believed Tan Songyu's words.

So he happily said: "Good, yes, he is a capable and filial one, reward." ”

The head of the chamberlain, Xu Duo, secretly wrote down this Tan Songyu, and if the emperor himself said that he was capable and filial, this honor was enough for the entire Tan family to become the largest family of florists, and maybe he would do business with the Internal Affairs Office in the future and provide flowers and plants, of course he had to hand it over in advance.

"The grass people thank the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Tan Songyu knelt down and kowtowed a few heads, with tears in his eyes, their Tan family can finally carry forward.

After Tan Songyu retreated, Queen Yuan said softly: "Your Majesty, you see that today's weather is really good, and this Kao is also beautiful, why don't you let the ladies of all families write a few poems with today's chrysanthemum banquet as the theme, it should be appropriate." ”

"Okay, the queen's proposal is good, I'm happy today, so let's divide it into two groups of men and women, vote for each other, whoever has the most votes, the female leader will reward her with this Kao, as for the male leader, concubine, what good opinion do you have." The emperor never forgot Concubine Qi, for fear that he would wronged Concubine Qi in the home field of the Yuan family.

If it was twenty years ago, maybe the queen would not be able to stand it, but now, the queen and the people of the Yuan family have not changed at all, which seems to be a normal thing.

Concubine Qi was beautiful and graceful, and when she heard the emperor's words, she smiled: "Your Majesty, where is there something missing from the prince here, how boring it is to reward things, why don't you reward a promise, as long as it does not endanger the court and society, you can satisfy him, so it is interesting, and the concubine thinks that the pillar of the flower king is the best dowry, it is better for the emperor to allow a good marriage for the young lady who won the championship." ”

It is also Qi Guifei who dares to say this kind of thing so boldly, this is the privilege of the favorite concubine, and it is clear that the person who wins the championship can have a beautiful marriage, although it is not explicitly said that he can be the eldest princess, but no matter how bad he is, he can marry a favorite Ruyi Langjun.

The people here below, although they feel that Qi Guifei is a little bold, but they all like this kind of reward, it is a blank holy decree.

Empress Yuan's eyes flashed, but they quickly disappeared, and no one saw them.

The emperor thought for a while: "Okay, just do what Concubine Ai wants," and then looked at the people below who were gearing up and said, "The concubine has helped you win such a rich reward, you all have to show real skills." ”

This is actually deliberately trying to help Qi Guifei win people's hearts, the emperor's favorite person is Qi Guifei, and he wants to give Qi Guifei the identity of the imperial concubine, but it is only in the face of the Yuan family and the Yuan Empress that he has not succeeded, but the emperor is willful, and the more he does not let him do it, the more he wants to do it, so he always helps Qi Guifei win people's hearts intentionally or unintentionally, and looks forward to the future when Qi Guifei wants to be promoted to the emperor and concubine.

But the emperor never thought about it, his attitude was clearly biased towards the second prince, so that now the eldest prince and the second prince are on the same page, although he has never been dissatisfied with the eldest prince.

Pang Yating whispered to Lu Manman: "Manman, you said that the young lady who has the leader, who will be the husband." ”

"It turns out that Sister Ting, you are so gossipy, you are curious, it is better for you to be the leader. So you know the result. Lu Long quipped.

"Wow, you're making fun of me, I hate poetry and poetry the most, I can finish a few books, and if I don't be a stupid woman who doesn't understand the truth, it will cost me half my life, besides, I don't take the imperial examination, isn't it a waste to be able to write poetry? It's shameful to be wasteful, and I'm just right with that. ”
