All the palace concubines gathered in Qifeng Palace, and all the noblewomen who participated in the palace banquet also gathered in Qifeng Palace to greet the mother of the country and the palace concubines, and then everyone gathered in Qifeng Palace to chat and chat, and the atmosphere in the palace was very active.

The eldest princess of Qinghua led the emperors to participate in the blessing ceremony of Master Yikong in the Fengxian Palace, and the lord of the country led the princes, national teachers and ministers to the altar to worship the heavens, and then went to the Taimiao Temple to worship the ancestors. In the end, everyone went to Guangming Hall to attend the palace banquet.

At the right time, the mother of the country led the harem concubines and a group of daughters to the Guangming Palace.

The lights in the Guangming Hall are bright, and the whole hall burned by the earth fire dragon is as warm as spring.

Ye Chuqing followed Xu into the Guangming Hall and entered the women's seat on the right. The lord of the country and the mother of the country are at the head of the main seat, the palace concubines and emperors are the first female guests on the right, and the princes are the first to be the male guests, and then the four princes of An, Ning, Ping, and their sons accompany the foreign envoys to sit down. Below are the ministers and the sons of the family.

King An Sikong Han, the third brother of the lord of the country, has an upright temperament, and the only son is Sikong Jing, the son of King An. King Ning Sikong Luo, the fourth brother of the lord, is sleek and sophisticated, and the son of Ning Wangfu is Sikong Yu.

King Ping Sikong Yan, the sixth brother of the lord of the country, is old-fashioned and decent. The prince of Pingwangfu is named Sikong Fu, and he is twelve years old. and Wang Sikong Jian, the eighth brother of the lord, is kind and benevolent, and the prince of the palace is named Sikong Zan, who is ten years old.

Ye Chuqing sat in the seat, her eyes kept looking back and forth. What she is looking forward to is that she can enter the palace on the National Holy Day, and she will be able to meet Master Yikong and the national teacher. However, in this hall, why doesn't Master Yikong see anyone?

Ye Chuqing glanced around the crowd a few times, and finally determined that Master Yikong was not there.

What can I do? Ye Chuqing pondered for a while, and finally decided that she was going to sneak out to find Master Yikong.

Suddenly, she was pulled up by Xu. She was thinking about how to sneak out of the Guangming Palace, and she didn't notice the interaction in the hall at all. Now that he was suddenly pulled up by Xu's family, he was suddenly startled and shouted: "Wow! ”

When she came back to her senses, she found that everyone in the hall was looking at her intently.

"Huh?" Ye Chuqing didn't know why, turned her head and asked Xu quietly: "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Shi only whispered: "Your Majesty called you!" Then he pulled Ye Chuqing and pushed her to the main hall.

Ye Chuqing looked at the Xu family in a daze, then at Ye Qingyun on the left, and then at the lord of the country and the mother of the country at the top, then he reacted to what the situation was, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Courtier, Ye Chuqing, meet His Majesty the lord!" Meet the Mother of the Nation! ”

The lord smiled and said, "Get up!" ”

Ye Chuqing said: "Thank you, Your Majesty! As he spoke, his body quickly stood up.

The lord of the country looked at Ye Chuqing and said, "I heard General Ye say that you were grounded for ten years because of Master Yikong's prophecy, and you were only recently released?" ”

Ye Chuqing raised her little face and smiled brightly: "Back to Your Majesty, it's like this!" Master Yikong gave orders to his courtiers, saying that there would be a great calamity before the courtiers were sixteen years old, and they must be banned so that the world could not know that there was such a person as me. This is only later when an assassin entered our house, and the courtiers were killed by the assassins, and the catastrophe was resolved, so that the courtiers could be free! ”

"Kill once?" The lord of the country sensitively captured the word: "What do you mean to kill once?" How many times can you kill someone? ”

"Uh......" Ye Chuqing was choked for a moment, and soon changed to an innocent look: "Your Majesty, I mean, that assassin wanted to kill me with a sword, but his sword didn't kill me, only half of me died, and I was rescued again." ”

"Oh?" The lord of the country asked with interest, "Can you kill half of the kill?" The widow has never heard of it, but you girl is interesting! ”

At this time, people who like to stir up trouble are naturally unwilling to be lonely, so Lord Ying jumped out first: "Your Majesty, I heard that General Ye's two daughters are famous talented women, and today's national banquet is the day for me to pray for the country and celebrate the whole country." Why don't you let the second girl of the Ye family perform a show for us? Lord Ying's red lips opened lightly, and she spoke softly.

"Really?" The lord of the country, Sikong Mo, looked at Ye Chuqing with a pair of deep eagle eyes.

Ye Qingyun and Xu Shi had already sweated in their palms. At this time, listening to the question of the lord of the country, he was nervous for a while, and was about to get up to ask for guilt, when he heard Ye Chuqing exclaim: "Ah! Is there such a thing? Ye Chuqing looked cute and surprised: "Your Majesty, my sister is a famous talented woman, this should be well known." But as for me...... I've been confined in the courtyard, and for more than ten years, I didn't know about my existence except for important people in our house, so how could I say that I was also a talented woman? As she spoke, she turned to Xia Meiying and asked with an ignorant expression, "I don't know where your lord heard about it?" ”

When Sikong Mo heard this, he also turned to Xia Meiying: "That's right, I don't know where Concubine Ai heard about it?" ”

Without waiting for Xia Meiying to answer, Ye Chuqing began to cry out again in shock: "Oops! I understand! Today I met Emperor Fanghua in the Imperial Garden, when she was teaching Emperor Linghua a lesson, I stepped forward to reason with Emperor Fanghua, and then His Royal Highness the Prince came down, His Royal Highness the Prince cherished his young sister, so he punished Emperor Fanghua for a month of grounding. Your lord recommended the courtiers so much, presumably because he was very satisfied with the courtiers' rudeness and willful education and guidance for Emperor Fanghua, so he highly recommended the courtiers to perform their talents, and wanted everyone to know me. But...... I'm a big-hearted person, and I don't want to ask for any favors, so thank you for your kindness! Ye Chuqing smiled innocently, and she couldn't see the slightest hint of calculation.

"You ......" Lord Ying wanted to defend, but when he saw that everyone at the banquet was talking about Emperor Fanghua, he was angry, but he could only endure it and gritted his teeth and said: "You are right!" ”

Sikong Mo glanced at Lord Ying, and said lightly: "Fanghua's child is spoiled by you, and she should indeed be allowed to suffer a little and have a long memory, the prince handled it very properly!" ”

When the crown prince Sikong Yunlin heard the praise of the lord of the country, he hurriedly stood up and said, "The sons dare not take credit!" As the crown prince, Erchen is their eldest brother, so he should discipline his younger brothers and sisters and prevent them from making mistakes! ”

Sikong Mo was very satisfied with the prince's humility and attitude: "Okay, it is worthy of me praying for the prince of the country, very good!" ”

After the prince sat down, Zhong Xiyun, the mother of the country, looked at the prince very happily, and then glanced at Ye Chuqing, who was standing in the center of the hall, and was extremely satisfied with her performance. I didn't expect such a little girl to easily lose Xia Meiying's majesty between laughter and laughter, and slapped Xia Meiying's face in front of so many people.

Although Zhong Xiyun is the mother of the country, she is also a woman. She saw her husband's infinite love for Xia Meiying, and she was also very jealous, but as the mother of the country, she could only face it with a smile.

Xia Meiying's father and Zhong Xiyun's brother are both prime ministers and have the same status. However, Zhong He is an old-fashioned and loyal person, and he is not as good as Xia Sang's eight-sided exquisite man, and the Xia family not only has Xia Sang as the right minister, but Xia Sang's eldest son is in charge of the Gyeonggi guard. Xia Sang's second son is a good businessman, and he is in charge of almost half of the Cao Yun and the rice and grain of the Qi Kingdom, and he is rich enough to rival the country. Xia Sang's third son is Xia Sang's favorite son, and he is the vanguard under the left general of the Ye family.

Although Xia Meiying is only a noble lord and not as noble as the mother of the country, whether it is the power, wealth, and connections of the mother's family, she is much stronger than the Zhong family. Xia Meiying's beauty is incomparable, and the lord of the country loves her very much, which makes Xia Meiying even more rampant and arrogant, showing off in the palace, suppressing the palace concubines everywhere, and disrespecting the mother of the country many times. This made Zhong Xiyun very annoyed with Xia Meiying. It's just that she, as the mother of the country, can't be too obvious. Now that Ye Chuqing has helped her breathe, how can she not be happy?

Therefore, Zhong Xiyun's good impression of Ye Chuqing has risen in a straight line.

Ye Chuqing stood in the center of the hall, watching Xia Meiying being extinguished by herself, and she was in a good mood. However, the next moment she began to regret her limelight tonight.
