Everyone followed the sound and looked over, Shen Yan stepped aside a little, and saw that the complicated skirt robe by the door first showed a corner, and a pair of hands dyed with lotus-colored nails were gently lifting the skirt, Qi Hui moved his gaze up slightly, and saw a slender figure appeared in front of the door dignified and steady, Xiangxiang gracefully stepped over the threshold and released the skirt in his hand.

The winter robe with the bottom of the lotus is spread out layer by layer, the peony embroidered with gold thread blooms under the skirt, and the wide sleeves are embroidered with scattered petals, with each walk she walks, as if fluttering with the wind lifelike, there is no colorful color of purple and red, a single lotus color is more luxurious under the flickering of the gold thread, and the lotus color also hides the publicity of the gold thread very well, Qi Hui has seen countless gorgeous and gorgeous dresses in the palace, and today he really understands what noble is.

In order to match this dress, Xiangxiang asked Shen Yan to remove the towering bun, and put the green silk low on the back of her head, Mr.'s jewelry is mostly simple and generous, she only picked an amber hairpin to fix the bun, and a row of white jade bead flowers on the sideburns, echoing the white placket on her chest and the snow-white smoke veil on her arm.

Before Xiangxiang could speak, Jian Feng had already run to her side and said triumphantly: "What else can Pang Shifeng say now, he must be scared tonight, if I don't meet here once, I will definitely not recognize him at the dinner." ”

Jian Kaiwen was disgusted: "Don't be rude, you don't want to retreat quickly." As he spoke, he stepped forward and bowed to Xiangxiang and said, "See the princess." ”

Xiangxiang bowed and said: "Mr. Jian doesn't have to be polite, I am not a canonized princess yet, and I am a good friend of Lord Jian, and I ask Mr. Jian to treat me as a junior." ”

Qi Hui had already stepped forward, took her hand and said, "You are my wife, if the emperor doesn't canonize her, I won't have a second woman." ”

Xiangxiang smiled faintly, Mr. Jian is here, she can't show her heart at will, Mr. Shen said that it is not strange to be polite, and it is proper and noble not to be rude in front of people.

After that, Jian Kaiwen told them about the etiquette of the royal dinner, where to report and where to salute, what to do after entering the banquet, which dish to start using chopsticks after the banquet, how to high-five and praise when dancing and music, everything has rules to follow, but the first emperor was greedy for pleasure when he was there, and never cared about these etiquettes, no matter how luxurious the banquet was, it was full of glamorous sounds, which made people very disgusted.

The complicated etiquette made Xiangxiang a little confused, but she would definitely not let Qi Hui lose face tonight, Mr. Shen said that silence is the most powerful response when embarrassed, don't say anything or do anything, as long as you hold your chest high, it should be someone else's heart and timidity.

At this time, Mrs. Jian sent someone to ask the old man when he would go in to change his dress, but someone came from the old marquis, and passed on the words of the old marquis, the people of Jian's mansion did not participate in the emperor's wedding banquet, and the first emperor died within three days, and the palace actually held a wedding banquet, which violated human ethics and etiquette, and the people of the Jian family could not do such a thing.

Jian Feng opened his mouth wide and looked at his father, then at Qi Hui, and said, "Grandpa is really grandpa, we still want to deal with the emperor in hiding, and his old man is openly shouting?" No, I'm going to kowtow to my grandfather, I've never admired him so much in my life. ”

Xiangxiang watched Lord Jian run out happily, Qi Hui was accustomed to it on the side, and Mr. Jian just smiled, as for whether to go to the banquet, Mr. Jian knew very well in his heart, and said: "Our Jian family will be passed down from generation to generation, and going against the emperor will not have a good result." He said to Xiang Xiang again, "Neiko accompanies her, if the princess doesn't understand anything about etiquette, she will guide her." ”

Shen Yan said: "Uncle, I won't go, after all, I am a foreigner, after you leave, I will go to talk to my grandfather." While getting up, he stepped forward to help Xiangxiang, "Go back and rest for a while, it will be very hard at night." ”

The two left together, leaving only Jian Kaiwen and Qi Hui, Jian Kaiwen suddenly said: "Lord, can our Jian family be passed on from generation to generation, we must first protect this country." ”

Qi Hui's eyebrows were shocked, and sure enough, Jian Feng's style was somewhat influenced by his father, and he smiled faintly: "I will definitely live up to Mr.'s expectations." ”

And at this moment in the deep palace, Concubine Jing was carried to the middle palace, the queen made a big gift this morning, just waiting for the dinner to accompany the emperor to accept the courtiers again, the emperor sent a message to the Longevity Palace, saying that the eleven-year-old little queen has been crying, Concubine Jing had to hurry over, sure enough, stepping into the gate of the middle palace, I heard the cry, and went to the queen's bedroom, the little queen was shrinking in the corner of the bed, ignoring anyone's persuasion, she cried in her mouth: "I want to see my mother." ”

Jing Shu was carried to the side of the bed, the queen looked at her in horror, Jing Shu smiled gently: "Niangniang, I am Concubine Jing of the Longevity Palace, and I will support you to manage the entire harem in the future, nominally your mother-in-law, although I am not very old, but because I am not old, we can talk about one place, right?" ”

The little queen shook her head uneasily and continued to cry: "I want my mother." ”

The men of the Mo family have all been imprisoned, a number of them have died, and there are still a group waiting to be executed, most of the women have been sent as slaves, and the worst thing is to be sent to the barracks, the little queen shouldn't know this, now she is crying and asking for a mother, but she thinks that she is a queen, and she can have some power. But the emperor would not give her any power, and if she wanted to be an empress like her aunt and grandmother, she would die a miserable death.

"Queen Mother, if you want to be a mother, you can't be this queen, and you can't wear this phoenix robe." Jing Shu said seemingly gentle words, but there was only a cold gaze in her eyes, "You want to kiss your mother, you can let the eunuch take you to find it now, it's cold and snowy outside, you have to keep walking, if you can't find it, you have to keep walking, until your leg is broken until you freeze, and you can't come back." If you don't look for your mother, the warm house, the soft bedding, and the delicious food and wine at the wedding banquet will be enjoyed for a lifetime. ”

The little queen looked at her aggrievedly, Jingshu sighed, and asked with a smile: "Niangniang, do you want to find a eunuch and lead you to find your mother?" ”

The young queen lowered her eyes and shook her head unwillingly, she is not a fool, she is just too weak, maybe one day she can really grow up and be the queen of the world, but she knows that now, she can't fight against the emperor at all, and this inexplicable concubine.

"Good boy." Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief, if she didn't put the queen on the table, the emperor should give her a look, and she still remembered the prince's promise in the past, saying that on the wedding night of his wedding with the crown princess, he would let her replace the queen. She couldn't help but look at the little queen again, such a thin body and bones, probably the first emperor would find it interesting, but any man who still has human nature will not touch it.

Jing Shu tugged at the placket on her chest to better hide the spring light, and her body couldn't help but heat up just by moving her thoughts. She quickly got up and wanted to go to the door to blow the cold wind, but she forgot that her feet were not flexible, and her feet were painful as soon as she stepped on them, and the whole person fell down in embarrassment, and the palace maids hurriedly surrounded her to help, but they heard a crisp laughter, and everyone looked at the corner of the bed, and the little queen was looking at the embarrassed concubine and laughing, the laughter was cold, and the smile was hideous, and the palace maids were panicked.

Jingshu was helped up, sat back on her shoulder, and looked at the little queen from a distance, the eleven-year-old girl was not afraid of her, maybe at this moment, the seeds buried in her heart when the family was broken and died began to take root and sprout.

The sky is getting dark, the Mingde Hall has been set up inside and outside the banquet, when the hundred officials gather in the emperor to sit down, singing and dancing to ascend, it is to open a new chapter of a generation of emperors, at this moment officials have arrived one after another, and the eunuchs are orderly leading them to sit everywhere.

The banquet was bustling, all discussing the events of the past few days, they imagined the possible situation of the imperial court after the death of countless emperors, but they didn't expect that everything came so quickly and urgently, just a snow, it really changed the sky.

At this time, there was a period of restlessness, the officials got up one after another, it was the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion who arrived, Pang Jun was the leader and his wife sat side by side, and the children of the Pang family followed, the eldest son to the third son, and Miss Pang in the boudoir.

Pang Qianyou is dressed in gorgeous clothes, which makes her beautiful face more beautiful, she is not as dignified as usual, she has been constantly looking around since she entered the palace, she knows that Qi Hui is the crown prince, she knows that Qi Hui is very likely to appear at tonight's banquet, she hasn't seen her sweetheart for a long time.

And what she is even more excited about is that now that Qi Hui has become an upright prince, does she have any hope of becoming his princess?

As soon as the Prime Minister's Mansion and his party sat down, there were eunuchs reporting to the emperor and Concubine Jing arrived, everyone got up and saluted, and looked at it secretly, only to see that the new monarch led the queen who was still a child into the head, and the legendary Concubine Jing was carried to the front of the palace by the shoulder, and was carried into the seat by someone.

Long live the mountain call, after the ceremony, the emperor let the secretary sit down, and the light was overwhelmed by the heavy dress and bun, and when he sat down hard, he saw Jian Feng on the opposite side waving at her, of course, Jian Feng was not rushing at her, but at Pang Shifeng on the side, the young and handsome son and brother were particularly excited for some reason, as if they were looking forward to something good to happen.

Qianyou pushed his brother and asked, "Young Master Jian is calling you." ”

Shi Feng lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and said softly: "Above the main hall, how can you accompany him to mess around, don't look around." ”

Qianyou was very boring, and muttered: "I asked you if Qi Hui came, and you didn't say it, why do I think you don't treat me as a sister more and more?" ”

However, before the words fell, a eunuch suddenly walked into the main hall, knelt down in front of the door and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Shuo and the princess ask for an audience." ”

"Princess?" Pang Qianyou was stunned, Prince Shuo is Qi Hui, she remembered correctly, I heard this morning that the emperor canonized his second brother as the prince and named him "Shuo", but where did the princess come from? Qi Hui is married?

"Brother, what's going on?" Qian You grabbed Shifeng's arm, and at this time, the emperor had already granted permission, and the eunuch shouted, "Prince Shuo has entered the palace to meet him." ”

Everyone brushed their eyes in front of the palace gate, the long and jade man came step by step, and the strange noble woman accompanied the side, and walked into the main hall with the lights, but saw that this princess who had never been seen before, was radiant.
