"The hour is almost up, so let's get over." In the Jinfeng Palace, the queen mother Zhang got up, and immediately there were many maids busy passing the sedan chair.

"Lan Rui, tell them not to pass it on, it's not far away, the palace wants to take a few steps, and finally Lan Jun is back, and he can still talk along the way." The queen affectionately took Zhang Lanjun's hand and looked at her with a smile.

"Lan Jun, don't leave when you come back this time, the big camp in the army is not a place where a girl should go, besides, you will be in time for two years, I have already told your mother last time, your ceremony will be done in this palace." Zhang said while observing his niece's expression, and seeing that she was still faint, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Zhu Yan, the concubine of Zhu Xian, the attendant of the military department, interjected when she saw this: "Then I have to congratulate Cousin Lan Jun in advance, what a great honor it is to be able to hold a ceremony in the palace." "Zhang Lanjun's father is Zhandong General Zhang Zhicheng, and his mother Zhu Yuanyuan is Zhu Xian's sister-in-law, so Zhu Yan wants to call her cousin.

Zhang Lan is not as fair and delicate as the average lady, she was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, after dressing up today, her rose-colored lips were slightly pursed, and she also had a bit of a delicate meaning, she shrugged her shoulders and said easily: "Then I have to go back to my father." ”

Queen Zhang was depressed, but she also knew that her niece was very stubborn, so she endured it.

There are a lot of people in the palace today, but all of them are quiet, and they don't dare to show off their rules. In the grand Fanghua Palace, the banquet has been arranged according to the palace rank and the distance between relatives and relatives, and the fruits and a few cold meals for the opening banquet have also been arranged, and the queen has not yet led a group of female dependents into the palace, and she heard a series of women laughing, which sounded very arbitrary.

"Hmph" Of course, Empress Zhang knew who was laughing, her face fell, and Lan Rui on the side stepped forward and whispered: "Niangniang, the concubine is so unruly, you can endure it a little bit, today is a big day, don't make the emperor unhappy because of trivial things." ”

"Hongu knows." Having said that, her face was still angry, she hated the hypocrisy of the concubine the most, obviously she was misbehaving, arrogant, and domineering, and she didn't take her in her eyes, but she coaxed the emperor to say that she was young and naughty, and she didn't deserve to be blamed for having a true temperament. Nearly 30 years old and still naughty? It's really ridiculous, taking advantage of the emperor's coquettish idiocy by taking advantage of the appearance of the favorite concubine, and one day the emperor doesn't like her tune, see how she is.

Rong Junhua was relatively backward in this group, but he also heard the voice in the house, and saw the queen's face, and knew most of it.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

The ladies in the room all knelt down and made a big salute, most of them entered the palace for the first time, and when they saw Feng Yan at first glance, they were a little trembling.

The ladies who followed the queen into the palace knelt down one after another and said hello to Concubine Jiang Guifei.

Jiang Guifei was leaning away after the banquet, listening to jokes with one hand on the table, but now she got up lazily and gave a little blessing: "The concubine has given the queen a peace." Without waiting for the queen to speak, she got up, and her peach blossom eyes were shining.

"My sister seems to be a little different today..."As she spoke, she put her hands on her collarbone, rubbing it twice, and there was a smile in her eyes and mouth: "It's the first time I've seen it today...."

There is curiosity to look up, it turns out that the neckline of the queen's dress today is very open, and the entire collarbone is exposed in the air, in fact, the Dayuan atmosphere is open, so it is not out of order, not to mention that the queen is wearing this red brocade dress, with jade pendant gold, clear blue, lotus green, honey, smoke and purple five-color mixed embroidery thread carefully embroidered with large and small phoenix Yu Fei patterns, the neckline is also sewn out of two wide placket gold edges, the overall look is very solemn.

It's just that people who have just entered the palace don't know the inside story, and the queen has always been very conservative in the choice of clothing, not only strict with herself, but also ordered everyone around her to wear only a high stand-up collar blouse or brocade skirt, which is indeed an exception today.

A few days ago, the emperor said in the queen's palace: "I always see you dressed so tightly, is it a little cold, let's have a doctor" The queen was embarrassed, but I don't know how this matter was spread, and the palaces laughed privately for a while.

At this time, seeing the concubine laughing, the queen was even more angry, Lan Rui on the side hurriedly stepped forward and helped the queen to sit up, and her subordinates used their strength to suggest that the queen should not be angry.

Until the queen sat down, Lan Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart that the concubine had taken the queen's irritable and impatient temperament, picking important occasions again and again, taking some trivial things was a joke on the surface, but secretly it was a provocation, which made many women in the imperial city feel that the queen has a bad temper, but the concubine treats people amiably.

After Empress Zhang sat down, she used a cup of tea, Fang relieved herself, and glanced at the entire harem of women, except for the concubine, they were two unfavored beauties, slightly more comfortable, to say that Emperor Yuanhong's harem was indeed clean and unprecedented, the emperor did not like to linger in the harem, most of the time slept alone in the study and his own bedroom, and the remaining part of the time was in her and the concubine's palace, those two beauties did not see the favor once a year, it was really not enough to mention, so she always had some idle anger with the concubine, and the formal struggle was difficult to nobody. It's just that one is really special.... She looked at the first seat in the lower left.... His face was slightly cold.

"What, are there two concubines in this palace? What's going on? Seeing that the position arranged for Concubine Xiao was actually a banquet of the concubine's grade, the queen couldn't help but say angrily.

Lan Rui stood up and asked in a loud voice: "Such an important occasion can also be set up on the wrong table, what about Liu Shanggong?" ”

A thin middle-aged woman with a bit of shrewdness stood up, scolded in her heart which dog slave was careless and caused her trouble, and forced a little smile on her face and said: "It's the old slave who was negligent, and it is indeed the wrong table, so this will be replaced." ”

The queen wanted to take the opportunity to mention the momentum of entering the hall just now, so she wanted to open her mouth to punish.

But I heard a message from the door, "The emperor has arrived-"
