Ah Yunduo's words were heart-piercing, and Sizhen glanced at her lightly: "It is estimated that there are many people crowded together, in and out, and the person who received the red envelope didn't even make a fuss about who gave it, but where the family has a big business, the elders give red envelopes to the younger generations just to be happy, where can anyone really covet the three melons and two dates!" ”

Ah Yunduo pouted and said: "That's not necessarily, the emperor still has three poor relatives, I don't believe it, everyone in his family is good." ”

"It's not that you married into their family, where do you need to feel good!" Even though Ah Yunduo was the youngest here, it was still too rude to say such a thing in front of Talma, and Sizhen stabbed her lightly.

Ah Yunduo seemed to realize his mistake at this time, and said: "Talma, I don't mean that, it's just that you're not worthy, how can a martial artist like Yongtai be worthy of you!" ”

As she spoke, she also glanced at Sizhen.

Others also say that Sun Yanling is a martial artist, climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix. Sizhen smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Talma glanced at her fiercely, and said angrily, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb." ”

She turned her eyes to Sizhen and said with a smile, "The hour is almost up, we should go to the birthday banquet." ”

On the way back, they all ignored Ah Yunduo, so angry that Ah Yunduo gritted his teeth and touched the paper bag in the sleeve cage before revealing a ruthless and smug smile.

The birthday banquet is set in the back garden of the palace of Concubine Gongjing, and at this moment the people are almost there, and the bustle occupies most of the garden.

In the center of the garden, several tables were built on a large platform, which was piled with fresh melons and fruits, seasonal snacks, and some fruit wine and flower syrup, so that the guests could take them at will.

In this way, the guests are at ease, and the host does not need to greet them too much.

"Wait a minute, I'll help the concubine greet the guests, and you can eat it raw." Seeing Sizhen coming, Jian Ning smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll introduce you for you." ”

Around the flower feast, there are all kinds of flowers and bonsai, you can smell all kinds of aromas from afar, and as far as the eye can see, Xifu begonia and peony are blooming brightly, and the pink and purple are sultry.

In the distance, a curtain made of moire red yarn divides the feast into east and west, with the men in the east and the women in the west.

There are flower-viewing beauties everywhere, all dressed in gorgeous costumes, as if they want to compare with the flowers in the garden.

Although Jianning wants to introduce her, in fact, most of the faces are not unfamiliar to Sizhen, after all, it has only been three or four years since she left the capital.

The first to come to greet Sizhen and his party was the family of the official Shangshu Asiha, and Ma San's grandmother brought her daughter-in-law and sister-in-law to greet Sizhen.

Atha has many family members, and it takes a lot of time just to greet and salute.

"If it weren't for the concubine's birthday banquet, I wouldn't have seen so many distinguished guests." When greeting with the people of Asha's family, a little woman in the crowd wearing a pale pink folded branch silk gown, with two small heads, and wearing a gold and jade treasure pendant, hid her face and said with a smile, "This is Princess Kechun and Princess Kezhen, and there are a bunch of county lords, all of whom are distinguished guests." I don't know what the concubine called us poor and stupid people into the palace for. ”

As she spoke, she shook the pearl earrings the size of lotus seeds, which looked very delicate.

"Even if you are stupid, there is no one who can say it in the sky!" Jian Ning snorted, turned around and smiled: "She is the third grandmother of the Asiha family of the Ministry of Officials, and the most powerful thing is a mouth, and ordinary people may not be able to talk about her if they come to ten or eight." ”

"Ouch, my good princess!" Grandma Ma San smiled: "When you have any good words to praise, you are arranging me." ”

Sizhen didn't like the noise of others, frowned invisibly, and said politely: "Grandma Ma San is good." ”

"You must be Princess Kezhen, right?" Grandma Ma San looked up and down, and praised: "I heard that Princess Kezhen is beautiful and picturesque, and I also said that the rumors are not true, now look at your all-round style, this dress, it is simply the Nine Heavens Fairy descending to earth, don't say that we are not comparable, it is the ladies in the palace, I am afraid that I will not be afraid of it." ”

Sizhen didn't know what she meant by this praise, but with Ma San's grandmother's words, the eyes of the people next to her were on her.

This is to pull hatred for her!

Sizhen was slightly unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she smiled and said: "Grandma Ma San praised it falsely, with my crude qualifications, how can I compare with the ladies in the palace?" It's Grandma Masan's golden silk eight treasures and pearl hairpins, which are worth a lot of money, but I'm afraid that the jewelry of the ladies in the palace is a little inferior. ”

After listening to Sizhen's words, everyone looked at the Dingdian on the head of Ma San's grandmother, on which there was a golden silk eight treasures to save beads, the ruby of the pearl hairpin was like blood, the sapphire was far away, and even the pearl was rare to see.

Asiha is a secretary of the ministry, but his third son is only a five-rank official, and the golden silk and eight treasures on Baodian are just afraid that Ma San's grandmother's husband can't buy them for five years, where can she go to fix such a good thing?

When you look at Grandma Masan's eyes, it is a little subtle.

Grandma Ma San's face was red and white for a while, and she avoided everyone's attention under the pretext of wanting to eat something.

Jian Ning smiled apologetically: "She is a mouth that is not hidden, don't take it to heart." ”

"It's okay, you go and get busy, you don't have to stay with me all the time." Sizhen pointed to the Talma not far away, and said with a smile: "They are all over there, wait for someone I want to know, just ask them." ”

Just kidding, there are dozens of grandmothers and young ladies sitting here today, if you really let Jianning introduce them one by one, just say a few words, I don't know how long it will be delayed, Sizhen doesn't want to be looked at repeatedly, she is not the protagonist of the birthday banquet, why is she in such a limelight? She still has something to do today, detaining these noble family members in the palace on the occasion of the concubine's birthday, in order to facilitate actions outside the palace and let those people cast rat traps.

Jian Ning smiled knowingly: "Okay, I'll go and see if they have any omissions." ”

Sizhen smiled: "You just have to arrange your own affairs, if there is anything you need me to greet you, just ask." Don't worry, I know how to greet myself, the concubine has prepared so many delicious and delicious food today, I will definitely eat more. ”

First, there are many people who come to Talma, and secondly, in the territory of the capital, everyone knows the Empress Dowager's righteous daughter, Princess Kezhen, and knows that she stays in the capital for more than half a year because of the Empress Dowager's meaning, so everyone has to give some face.

There was the sound of Talma's talk and laughter, Sizhen and those people talked in a few words, and they silently calculated in their hearts, basically the people who should be there are all here.

It's just that there are too many people, and I laughed for a long time, except for the surname of my husband's family, the names of those ladies and misses Sizhen listened to it for a long time, and I didn't figure out who was who.

However, there is a young lady in Yongtai's brother's family, whose name is Mo Yaqi, and her eyebrows are very smart and beautiful, this woman is said to be sent to the palace by Aobai, and Sizhen can't help but pay more attention to it.

Just when everyone was talking and laughing, they suddenly heard the minions outside raise their voices: "The emperor has arrived." ”

The emperor is also here!

Just when everyone was surprised, they saw Xuan Ye walking in surrounded by a group of waiters and palace maids.

"The concubines knock to welcome the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with gold." Jian Ning and Sizhen glanced at each other, and followed the concubine and the queen to greet everyone.

"Let's get up, I heard that the concubine held a birthday banquet in the garden today to enjoy the flowers, it was very lively, so I thought about coming over to have a fun, now it seems that this spring makeup, a group of scenery, is really good, I came to the right place, I just don't know, did it disturb you?" After greeting the concubine for her birthday, sixteen-year-old Xuan Ye smiled loudly.

"It is an honor for the emperor to come, the concubines and others, please take a seat." Queen Hesheri is the granddaughter of the late Auxiliary Minister and the First Class Sonny, Kangxi was established as the queen in September of the fourth year, seventeen years old, gentle and kind, Roujia is beautiful, and only gave birth to a son-in-law Chenghu in the first month of this year.

After Xuan Ye sat down, his gaze swept around, and he stayed on Mo Yaqi's body for a moment.

Mo Yaqi wore a flag dress with a red woven gold gown, wearing a red gold inlaid jade head, green feathers and large flowers, brilliant embroidery, her bright eyes and teeth, muscles and bones were smooth, like the scorching sun, hot and bright.

It immediately attracted Xuan Ye's attention.

Mo Yaqi was obviously very confident in her appearance, and when she saw Xuan Ye looking at her, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's rare for you to come here today, but you have to have a good time, the courtiers are willing to offer a dance for the emperor to show their botian beauty." ”

When Xuan Ye heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Okay, I will appreciate it today." ”

"It's just that dancing solo is boring, the courtiers heard that Princess Kezhen has excellent dancing skills, and they want to dare to invite Princess Kezhen and the courtiers to dance together." Mo Yaqi owed.

Sizhen was stunned.

Isn't it ridiculous that she is a woman and dances with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl from Mo Yaqi?

What does Moaki want to do?

Xuan Ye said lightly: "Princess Kezhen is good at using swords, but she is not good at dancing, so it is better to let Rong Guiren dance for me with you." ”

Rong noble Ma Jiashi and the emperor in the same year, only sixteen years old, two years ago gave birth to the eldest son Cheng Rui, although it is a nobleman, but Xuan Ye will be in the palace, except for the queen is her noble person, can let her dance with Mo Yaqi, it is equivalent to lifting Mo Yaqi Mo Yaqi listened, naturally happy, she lightly high-fived, and suddenly there was melodious music.

Sizhen smiled slightly: It seems that this has been prepared for a long time.

In all fairness, Ma Jia's dancing skills are not bad, but not to the point of overwhelming the crowd, but Mo Yaqi played very well, and the whole scene kept turning, like a butterfly taking off.

"Good ......" Xuan Ye didn't blink his eyes, as if he was fascinated by Mo Yaqi.

When the dance was in full swing, Mo Yaqi suddenly stepped on the corner of Ma Jia's skirt, which caught Ma Jia's family off guard and immediately stopped.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Ma Jiashi looked very embarrassed and almost fell to the ground.
