The so-called front hall is actually the gate of Cining Palace, and the high steps from the gate are the main hall.

The main hall is very spacious, the interior is already very exquisitely arranged, the banquet of a table is also distributed in a very orderly manner, the palace maids and eunuchs are also in good order, seeing Mama Wei with Shao Wanru over, after saluting respectfully one by one, they did not move around until they passed.

"Isn't it just a woman's family who holds a banquet here?" Shao Wanru walked inside, looked at the rows of neat tabletops, and asked.

"Men and women are all here, the birthday of the queen mother, the whole world celebrates, the emperor's meaning does not have to be separated to worship the birthday, all here to worship the birthday is, not only the ladies in the palace, the emperor and the princes will also come, in addition to some princes and important ministers, there are a lot of female dependents."

Mama Wei introduced with a smile.

Shao Wanru nodded, sure enough, it was the same as he had heard, it was a huge banquet, and what happened after that had the greatest impact.

Walk forward again, look at the steps in front of the main hall, there are also rows of seats, here should be the place where the palace concubines and princes and princesses sit, as for the top, there is only one seat, not big, but the three chairs around are all gold inlay, huge and broad, especially one of them, the dragon pattern is the shoulder, it is even more noble.

"Mama Wei, this is the emperor's ...... Dragon chair? Shao Wanru gasped, it was the first time she saw the emperor's dragon chair, and I heard that even in the palace, there were not many dragon chairs specially made by the emperor.

"It is indeed the emperor's dragon chair, the queen mother specially customized for the emperor, and the positions of the queen mother and the queen mother are on both sides." Mama Wei nodded.

Hearing her say this, Shao Wanru's eyes turned to the chairs on both sides, and then she found that these two chairs are also different from other chairs, although they are a little smaller, not as good as the dragon chair in it, but there are also phoenix carvings on the shoulders of the chairs, which are exquisite and gorgeous, and it is really different from the royal weather.

"Mama Wei, what kind of gift does the Queen Mother like the most, is there any taboo, I participated in the Queen Mother's birthday banquet for the first time, and I am afraid that I will be ignorant and violate the Queen Mother's taboo."

Shao Wanru was amazed before she got down to business, which was an important reason why she specially asked Mama Wei to lead the way.

Mama Wei had such a guess as early as when Shao Wanru proposed to see the layout of the front hall, and when she heard Shao Wanru say this, she immediately said happily: "Princess Chen is polite, the Queen Mother is actually a very good master, and there is nothing particularly taboo on weekdays, Princess Chen only needs to buy a birthday gift according to your wishes." ”

"There's nothing taboo, there's always a favorite, right?" Shao Wanru looked at Mama Wei with a smile and said.

"This ...... In fact, it's not a special hobby, but I like chic, different from other things, the Queen Mother is also a ...... who likes calligraphy and painting," Mama Wei reminded implicitly.

"Do you like more chic calligraphy and paintings?" Shao Wanru's eyes lit up, and her long eyelashes flashed, quite a little moved.

Mama Wei smiled and didn't say anything, but the meaning was very clear.

"Thank you, Mama Wei." Shao Wan bowed sideways, grateful.

"Princess Chen is polite, how can the old slave afford Princess Chen's courtesy." Mama Wei's body hurriedly went to the side, letting Shao Wan salute.

"Mama Wei, will this gift be sent first, or will it be sent on the Queen Mother's birthday?" Shao Wanru straightened up and asked again.

"This ...... Basically, they are delivered on the spot on the occasion of their official birthday. Mama Wei said.

In fact, there are also those who are sent first, but there are not many, and many of them are sent first, and they will still send a congratulatory gift when the time comes.

There are advantages to being sent first, and there are benefits to being sent on the spot, but the first ones are often not related to the Queen Mother.

It's just that this kind of thing doesn't have to be said to Princess Chen in front of you.

"Thank you, Mama Wei!" Shao Wanru was polite again, and Mama Wei also avoided it with a smile.

The two of them walked for a while, gossiping for a while, and then returned to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was already tired and went to rest, and also told Shao Wanru to take care of herself when she came over, if she was tired, she would go back, if she was not tired, she would go to the garden and enjoy the scenery, so she didn't have to rush back.

Shao Wanru thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness, and withdrew from the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, Mama Wei sent her to the gate, and watched her leave, only then did she restrain the smile on her face, and her brows furrowed tightly, did Princess Chen talk about her nephew before?

Although it is a little different from what his nephew said, the more he listens to the meaning of this sentence, the more he feels like it, could it be that this matter is really related to Princess Chen? If it really is, I have to persuade my nephew not to collide with Princess Chen, this Princess Chen may not be nothing, but King Chen is the grandson of the Queen Mother.

Shao Wanru took Yujie to the back door of King Chen's mansion at will, Chu Liuchen was not in the mansion, and it was inconvenient for her to stay in the palace.

Although there are no outsiders in this palace, the possibility of bumping into several princes is still very high, and without Chu Liuchen here, she should be more cautious.

came back all the way, but I didn't meet Di Zhaoyi, but I unexpectedly met Mrs. Ou, a female painter, and the two of them almost collided at the corner.

Mrs. Ou took two steps back, a few scrolls of paintings in her hand fell to the ground, and when she saw Shao Wanru on the other side, she was stunned for a moment and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Princess Chen!" ”

The former show girl is now the concubine of King Chen's mansion.

"Mrs. Ou is polite." Shao smiled softly and instructed Yujie to help Mrs. Ou pick up the paintings one by one.

"Mrs. Ou has so many paintings, where are you going to send them?" Shao Wanru looked curiously at the picture on the scattered picture scroll, and asked curiously, it was a picture of a mother and son playing.

The young child was round and cute to play, and the young lady looked dignified and soft, embroidering the child's clothes while smiling silently.

"The Queen Mother's birthday, let me draw more pictures of the harmony between mother and son, and then I showed it to the steward of the Internal Affairs Office, and I didn't feel very satisfied!" Mrs. Ou took the picture scroll handed over by Yujie and said helplessly.

"What does the emperor mean?" Shao Wan's eyes flashed.

"It was the emperor who asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy it, and I heard that the best one was selected and presented to the Queen Mother, but now they have been beaten back, saying that the painting is not good enough, and I heard that it has never been done before." Mrs. Ou sighed bitterly and said, at this time, it is actually best to pick those out-of-print authentic works, how can they let a painter like them paint like this.

Their paintings are certainly okay, but they can't be compared with the kind of calligraphy and painting that has been passed down through the ages.

"That's what you mean this year?" Shao Wanru raised her willow eyebrows and asked.

"That's right, that's what it means this year, originally I was going out of the palace, but now I'm staying to draw this type of picture." Mrs. Ou said.

It's been a while since the draft ended, and she should have left the palace a long time ago, but now she was dragged back by it.

"How many others are drawing these?" Shao Wan looked at Mrs. Ou with a pair of bright eyes and asked with a smile.

"It's also this type, that is, to reflect the harmonious relationship between mother and son, and when I was young, I just said that there were fewer children in painting, and there should be three." Mrs. Ou said again.

Three are counted as the emperors.

The affairs of the first emperor, the past is blurred, blurring the things of his existence, as if he is just an ordinary king, some of the things that were in harmony with the emperor and the ministers have slowly faded out of everyone's sight, this blur is very slow, but it is very effective.

Now, basically, if the former emperor is not explicitly involved, few people mention the matter of the former emperor.

At this time, he deliberately asked the artist to draw three children, which is really strange.

Under the name of the Queen Mother, the biological one is the former emperor and the current emperor, and one is the King of Cheng, who happens to be three children and three princes.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Ou, Shao Wanru has been thinking about this question, and she always feels that it is too strange and unreasonable.

The queen mother's birthday, the emperor wants to send a painting, at least it is the kind of authentic work, not let a painter paint a picture casually, even if Mrs. Ou and other painters are extraordinary, but it is still inappropriate.

It's not the contemporary everyone, and it's not the status of the noble, why should it be sent to the Queen Mother, and it's the emperor's intention.

The other thing is the matter of the first emperor, which is too weird.

These things flow slowly through my mind, as if to mean something, but I can't grasp the point for a while.

Returned to King Chen's Mansion and sat down, thought about it carefully, and his expression became more and more strange, could it be that this was not what the emperor meant?

If it wasn't the emperor's intention, then whose meaning was it?

Originally, she went to the queen mother to report to the queen mother when she entered the palace today, Wei Dahai's matter seemed to be a negative man on the surface, greedy for his ex-wife's money, but this matter involved Mo Qiuyi, who behaved strangely and mysteriously, and then Chu Qing, which made Shao Wanru vigilant in his heart.

That's why I entered the palace today to see the Queen Mother.

Mama Wei, who was standing behind the Queen Mother, behaved a little strangely, Wei Dahai's surname was Wei, and Mama Wei was also surnamed Wei, isn't there any connection here?

When Fang Cai talked about Wei Dahai himself, although he didn't name him, Mama Wei's demeanor looked a little embarrassed, as if she knew something!

This abnormality disappeared quickly, and when Mama Wei led her to the front hall, Mama Wei had already returned to normal, and even if she checked carefully, she didn't find anything.

Is Mama Wei's belly too deep, or is it really her own mistake.

In addition, Mrs. Ou's affairs are also weird, the Ministry of Internal Affairs? It looks like you have to ask your grandmother, who is in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, this time the Queen Mother's birthday is the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and when there was an accident in the previous life, I didn't hear that the chief official of the Internal Affairs Office was convicted, and it seems that no one made any mistakes, but in the end, it forced King Zhou and the Queen Mother to rebel.

"Princess, there is a lady who asks to see her, saying that it has something to do with the Marquis of Xingguo, you have seen it!" A mother-in-law walked into the courtyard and respectfully reported under the porch.
