Ban Lanbi and Zhang Fuxin are both favored, and they come and go with each other, they are like a big tree that attracts the wind, which is very eye-catching.

And the queen mother's birthday has arrived, the location is located in Kyushu Qingyan, here is the royal family specially set up a banquet place, the palace is made of white snail stone, exquisitely gorgeous, everyone in the harem attaches great importance to this birthday banquet, because this is the first banquet in the palace, those concubines who are usually not favored, or have not seen the holy face of the low-ranking concubines, it is very likely that they will get the emperor's attention because of a birthday banquet, it is a good opportunity to show up.

Zhang Fuxin's thick eyebrows can be seen to be meticulously trimmed, and the moonlight seems to be precipitated in the wonderful eyes, and the makeup is exquisite. She picked out the royal blue cloud brocade dress given by the emperor, and the jade bracelet inlaid with diamonds and sea blue also lined her skin like jade, although these luxurious clothes were justified in wearing them on weekdays, but she never used them out of caution to avoid pampering.

After entering Kyushu Qingyan, the concubine and the concubine arrived early, because the banquet was mainly organized by them, so they first stepped forward to salute them, "The concubine meets the concubine Niangniang, respects the concubine Niangniang, and the concubine is blessed with Jin'an." Concubine Jing just glanced at it coldly, obviously not to be seen, but Zhang Fuxin didn't care, just smiled decently, and the concubine said gently, "No courtesy, let's go to the table." ”

"Sister Zhang, sit here." Ban Lanbi's dignified face seemed to be finely carved, and the dark green robe was not old-fashioned when worn on her, but noble and elegant.

So, Zhang Fuxin naturally sat next to Ban Lanbi, smiled at her and said, "Sister Ban always comes early. ”

Ban Lanbi blushed slightly, "Sister laughed, you know that I would rather arrive earlier than everyone else than miss that hour." ”

Soon the concubines arrived one after another, always casting their eyes on their side, and at this time, there was a deacon who sang and said, "Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother has arrived—Her Royal Highness the Queen has arrived—" Everyone got up and greeted them.

I saw the queen supporting the queen mother, a huge guard of honor slowly drove towards the hall, the queen's solemn face was thickly coated with grease powder to cover her complexion, and the queen mother's makeup was particularly grand.

Zhang Fuxin noticed that at present, in addition to the emperor, the concubine is still pregnant Shi Fuzhou, she has seen the emperor's favor for Li Concubine last time, or love, this time Shi Fuzhou has not arrived, and she is not so strange in her heart.

"The emperor has arrived--Concubine Li has arrived-" Shi Fuzhou followed the emperor when she came in side by side, her expression was gentle, but she wore an amber on her head at random, but she became more and more aura, naturally carved and decorated, not far away as if someone was whispering, the emperor had already sat next to the queen at this time, not only the concubine was thoughtful, but the queen was already dissatisfied, but she couldn't bear it, because those who are qualified to walk side by side with the emperor can generally only be the queen, and the concubines have to lag behind the emperor by half a step.

At this time, Shi Fuzhou walked to the position of the right concubine in front of everyone's eyes, and smiled like a breeze, "Sister Jing, please move to your seat." ”

Concubine Jing almost thought that she had heard it wrong, and said with a surprised face, "Sister Li, what does this mean?" ”

Shi Fuzhou took his lower abdomen and said leisurely, "Historically, the banquet sitting times are above and to the left, the concubine Niangniang naturally sits on the left, and presumably the concubine Niangniang, you are used to sitting on the right, and you forgot the change of the sitting order for a while, Fuzhou is also understandable." ”

The concubine took a sip of the teacup, but the look in her eyes was quite interesting, so she took the tea to show that the wind was light.

Concubine Jing chuckled as if in disbelief, "This makes the palace very confused, Concubine Li wants to compete with the palace on an occasion like the Queen Mother's birthday?" ”

The Queen Mother's expression was already quite dissatisfied, and she felt that Concubine Li had been spoiled by the emperor too much, and she dared to make a mistake in front of herself, so she couldn't help but snort coldly, and said lightly, "The emperor has been very accustomed to Shi recently." She used the word "habitual" and called Concubine Li's surname, so she could figure out how dissatisfied the Queen Mother was with Concubine Li's favorite, not to mention that Concubine Jing was still a person from her palace.

The fearlessness on Shi Fuzhou's face revealed that she didn't care about the queen mother's dislike of her, and looked at the emperor with grievances, and the unreasonable and unexpected emperor personally spoke for her, "The queen mother misunderstood, the title is already in order, not to mention that Fuzhou is also pregnant with my child, she is a straightforward person, and the concubine should not be too concerned with pregnant women, let it go." ”

The title is divided into sequences, above the concubine position, choose one of the Shude Xianhui Lihua Zhuang Jingshun as the number, these nine titles, plus a concubine, the quota of the main position can have up to ten, and "Li" is indeed before the word "respect".

But in the end, it is also the second concubine, and the concubine gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and the seniority is the longest, and the horizontal and vertical are only a rank, if it is not for the emperor to always protect, then Shi Fuzhou is easy to play by virtue of the topic at this moment, pampered and arrogant, but with the favor and maintenance of the saint, it is just a frank temperament.

Jing Concubine's face is already as black as charcoal, on weekdays, this little fox charm will let her three points by virtue of pampering, I didn't expect her to embarrass herself in public on this occasion, it's best not to wait until the day she falls out of favor, Jing Concubine reluctantly smiled, "The kindness of the heavenly family can be bathed no matter where you sit, it's not a big deal, then the palace will be given to Sister Li's sister." This was said as if the concubine was generous herself, not forced by the emperor.

Shi Fuzhou didn't bother to look at her, and he didn't seem to have put Jing Concubine in his eyes, but he sat on the right side leisurely, and he was beautiful with a smile and a smile.

The concubine said at this moment: "Let's start." "On the table is a famous wine and delicacies, fresh vegetables and game, and the music is also gurgling, which makes people feel soothing and pleasant.

Speaking of the Empress Dowager Xun Huiji, she is the sister of the former imperial lieutenant, the Xun family has an army of 100,000, and has also made great contributions to the founding of Taizu Huyuan Town. And Taiwei Xun Yi was also named the Great Protector of the Kingdom, ranking first among the twelve heroes of the founding of the country.

Under the power of the power, Xun Yi's eldest daughter was also smoothly elected as the crown princess at that time, if there is no accident, the Xun family will produce two generations of queens since the founding of the country, but unfortunately a coup d'état broke the peak status of the Xun family.

With the support of Zheng Guogong, Hu Heng, the king of Yong, killed the prince in Taiji Gate after the death of Taizu and established himself as the emperor, which is known as the Taiji Change, and the crown princess Xun Guanyin and the prince were both damaged, and they were buried in such a pattern with the young prince.

Xun Yi, as the founder of the country, and the queen mother's own brother, naturally does not need to be convicted of sitting together because of the crown princess, but it is difficult to escape the implication, and his position in the sixth department is withdrawn.

The Queen Mother repeatedly advised her youngest son for this, but after no effect, she finally realized that he was no longer the child who didn't dare to disobey her even a word, so she moved into the Changle Hall coldly and never complained again.

At the banquet at the wine table, listening to Ban Lanbi talk about these old things, after these days of getting along, Zhang Fuxin almost forgot that she was born in the Ban clan of the East China Sea, although she is not a top wealthy family in the capital, but she is also a celebrity, and her father is also in the sixth department, and she knows a lot more about the royal court than herself.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother is really pitiful, she will encounter these things." Zhang Fuxin sighed to her quietly.

Ban Lanbi shook his head, "That waste prince is lazy and slow, he is not suitable for being a king, and what His Majesty does is also the direction of heaven." She thought that Zhang Fuxin was sighing about this, so she vaguely told Zhang Fuxin that all the actions of the saint today were right, even if they were wrong, they were right.

has always been a king and a loser, not very strange, Zhang Fuxin just responded, "Yes." ”

"Your Majesty treats the Queen Mother very kindly, rebuilds the gorgeous palace, and dedicates the treasures collected from the world to her, this filial piety is all commendable." Ban Lanbi's eyes looked softly at the most noble emperor above.

And Zhang Fuxin followed her gaze and looked silent, but what she thought in her heart was that the emperor killed his mother's child, and killed her mother's brother's daughter and her daughter-in-law and grandson, greatly reducing the power of the Xun family, out of guilt, of course, he had to try his best to make up for it.

Gao Shi led the four little eunuchs to present a large tray at this moment, the four little eunuchs raised a horn and did not dare to blink, and then Gao Shi carefully guarded, covered with a piece of silk cloth, unveiled when the bright shining under the high platform, Gao Shi said happily, "Your Royal Highness, this is the ox blood red coral Dongzhu tree that Your Majesty has worked hard to find, this is a thousand-year-old spiritual creature from the bottom of the sea, different from ordinary coral, the East Pearl is a rare treasure, the easy number of rivers can not be a mussel, the mussel Yingzhou can not be a pearl, but also show His Majesty's filial piety." ”

The Queen Mother just glanced at it, and said with a faint smile, "The emperor is too extravagant, you have not been on the throne for a long time, and it is the place where you need to accumulate the treasury, where is it wasted here." ”

The emperor said in an undoubted tone, "It is natural for me to be filial to my mother, and this sum cannot save the treasury." ”

The Queen Mother was silent, and on her pale face, it seemed that the rare treasures she saw in her eyes were just as light as a feather, and Mrs. Changsun accepted this priceless treasure tree.

The queen's congratulatory gift is a bottle of white jade Guanyin one foot high, the whole body is carved with Tianshan ice jade, please is the best jade master in the world, the queen mother is very moved, immediately greatly admired the queen's filial piety.

Zhang Fuxin said quietly on his face, "What the queen sent was not the white jade, but the queen mother's remembrance of the crown princess, and the honor of the Xun family." "Baiyu Guanyin, the crown princess Xun Guanyin, the queen really has a deep meaning, the queen mother has always loved her brother's eldest daughter, and has great hopes, and summoned her niece into the palace from time to time, but she didn't expect it to be folded in the hands of her own son, even if the queen mother has a noble status, she can't control everything.

Ban Lanbi held the fan to hide his face and was slightly surprised, and he disagreed, "My sister is indeed smart, but Your Majesty doesn't know what to think in her heart, and it is too difficult to grasp the proportion." ”

The queen's family is no less than the queen mother, and it is also a famous family, the difference is that the Xun family is more expensive because of the inlaid help to build a Zhao Gui, and the Zheng family is accumulated for hundreds of years after three dynasties have changed hands for generations of dignitaries, only to accumulate a reputation that responds to all calls, with deep roots and lush leaves, penetrating the government and the opposition.

The Xun family is in power, and the Zheng family is in power and politics.

Next, the Yin concubine gave the queen mother a pure gold rabbit that is larger than the two palms spread out, because the queen mother's zodiac is a rabbit, this pure gold rabbit is very heavy, and the solid inside is made of gold, and the queen mother also praised the concubine for being exquisite.

Ban Lanbi reminded loudly: "The noble concubine's mother's family is an outstanding imperial businessman, and she is famous all over the country and has extraordinary strength. ”

Zhang Fuxin smiled slightly: "No wonder it's so generous." ”

After that, Concubine Jing sent a high-grade jade agate, and Shi Fuzhou did not have a congratulatory gift that he could get, and the emperor prepared a copy for her behind his back, so she presented the imperial gift, of course, no one knew.

The concubine needs to present a gift to the queen mother, and after three rounds of drinking, the emperor suddenly asked, "Why is there no dance today?" ”

The queen looked at Concubine Yin, although she was smiling, there was no lack of reproach in her tone, "Sister Guifei was negligent." ”

The concubine was just about to speak, but the concubine suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty, it was the concubine who removed the dancing concubine, and the concubine had other preparations." ”
