Half a month later, it coincided with Concubine He's fifty-third birthday, don't look at Concubine He is already in her fifties, because of proper maintenance, she looks ten years younger.

On the day of Concubine He's birthday, in addition to the congratulatory gifts sent by her mother's family, Nangong Yihan and Chu Lixue did not arrange for someone to celebrate her. Originally, he and the concubine were still unhappy, but Chu Lixue said that the emperor and the palace both advocate frugality, and there is a waste of silver, so it is better to use it as military salary, so he gave it back.

"Auntie, don't be angry, how can you say that our family is still thinking about you." Lin Qiuhua comforted.

"It's a good Nangong Yihan, a good Chu Lixue, the mourning family donated all their belongings to the treasury, but I didn't expect the mourning family to have a birthday banquet."

"Auntie, otherwise, let's let my uncle and my father play together, how about you please seal it for your aunt?" Lin Qiuhua said with a wicked smile.

"Please seal?" And the concubine muttered.

If you can really ask for the seal, it is naturally the best, according to the etiquette, the new emperor ascended the throne, are to reward the concubines of the emperor, if you have a son, you can go to the fief with your son to live, and if you don't have a son, you will live in the palace to live for a long time.

"Yes, aunt, if you can ask your aunt for a seal, then your birthday will definitely be beautiful in the future." Lin Qiuhua said lightly.

Hearing this, he bowed his head slightly with the concubine, that's right, now no one has come to celebrate her birthday, but not too many people know that today is her birthday, and people outside think that she went back to the palace to live with the concubine, that is because she is old and has nothing to rely on, and the emperor is kind and pays attention to filial piety, so he took her back to the palace to spend her old age in peace.

"Okay, as long as the mourning family can successfully ask for the seal, then you will be one step closer to entering the palace as a concubine." and the concubine smiled lightly.

Concubine He is also a smart person, all she relies on now is the Qiu family and the Lin family, and with her family, everything will go smoothly for her. With her identity, she can gain a firm foothold in the harem, and she will no longer look at the face of a young girl.

Since the chrysanthemum incident in the Imperial Garden that day, she has been suffering from the anger of this Fengluan Palace, and even those little guys in the imperial dining room dare to step on her feet.

Although the meals delivered every day are not rancid, they are already cold and have lost their taste. Even on her birthday today, she wanted to drink a bowl of high-quality blood swallows, but the kitchen said that the stock of blood swallows was very small, and the queen's mother was thin and needed blood swallows to replenish them.

She didn't understand, a huge palace was so expensive that even a blood swallow was so expensive, couldn't she even give her a mouthful?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a eunuch outside the door singing loudly, "The emperor has a reward......

"Father-in-law Zhang, he also came in person." And the concubine said with a smile.

"Yes, Concubine Niangniang, the emperor said that today is your birthday, and he can't hold a feast, so he ordered the imperial dining room to send a few dishes with excellent meanings, as well as some fine cloth jewelry." After speaking, Zhang Qing waved his hand, and a eunuch walked in with a gift.

Lin Qiuhua looked at the dazzling gifts on the tray, and her heart yearned for that position even more, and looked at these gifts from the emperor, but she had never seen them in her life.

Just thinking about it, I saw Leng Xue beside the queen walking towards here with a team of palace maids, squeaking to see those gifts, and the emperor sent them were all of the best quality.

"And the concubine, this is a bowl of longevity noodles made by my mother-in-law for you, my mother-in-law said, I wish you a long and healthy life." With that, he took out a bowl of hot noodle soup from the food box in his hand.

This noodle soup smells already fragrant, so if you take a bite, I don't know if you will miss the last three or seven days. Thinking of the restaurant and medicinal food workshop opened by the queen's mother outside the palace, it can be seen that the queen's craftsmanship is also extraordinary.

There is a saying that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach. If her craftsmanship can be half of the queen's, maybe she will be more sure of getting the emperor's favor.

He Taifei glanced at the longevity noodles in the food box, the soup was clear, and there were some vegetables and eggs on it, and he used this kind of food to send her, when she was called Hanako? This queen is really deceitful.

Immediately, he raised his hand and spilled all the noodle soup in the food box on the ground, "Go back and tell you the queen mother, the mourning family is not called Huazi, if she feels that the mourning family lives in this palace is an eyesore, let the emperor send the mourning family out of the palace." ”

"What do you mean by this? My master kindly made such a bowl of longevity noodles for you, but he was thrown to the ground by you, and the concubine, it seems that the concubine is resentful of my master who refuses to give you a birthday banquet? Leng Xue said disdainfully.

"Isn't it? What is the difference between such a bowl of somen noodles and the flower children on the street? He said angrily with the concubine.

Seeing that Concubine He was like this, Leng Xue snorted coldly, "Concubine He is really shallow, this longevity noodle looks very vegetarian, but the noodles are boiled in soup for three days and three nights, and the ham is cooked, in order not to look greasy, the oil slick is skimmed off, and even the sun eggs and vegetables on it are all the mother's thoughts, you are so ignorant, the slave and maid are going to return to the queen." After finishing speaking, the food box on the ground in cold and snowy weather turned around and was about to leave.

"Someone, stop her to the mourning family." After finishing speaking, the palace maids of Anning Palace stepped forward to think about Leng Xue's way, Leng Xue smiled slightly when she saw this, just because these palace maids and eunuchs can also block her way? Is this and the concubine brain-dead?

"Even if you want to stop me?" Leng Xue raised her eyebrows and sneered.

"This is Anning Palace, even if you are the person next to the queen's mother, you can't talk to the concubine like this." Lin Qiuhua said angrily.

"Talking like that? Miss Qiuhua, is this going to reverse black and white? Leng Xue sneered.

This Lin Qiuhua really couldn't see the situation clearly, thinking that with a concubine with a weak family background, he could enter the palace as a concubine? If someone like her can enter the palace, then other girls from high-ranking families can naturally enter the palace as concubines.

Leng Xue carried the empty food box and returned to Fengluan Palace, Yi'an saw Leng Xue's ugly face, and immediately asked, "What's wrong with you?" Sending a bowl of noodles, the face is so ugly? ”

"I also said, our mother kindly made a bowl of longevity noodles for the concubine, she didn't know what to do, she actually smashed the food box, saying that the longevity noodles made by the mother were called Huazi." Leng Xue puffed up.

"What? This and the concubine, so ignorant, this bowl of longevity noodles looks ordinary, but the method is exquisite, a group of uninformed guys, just ruined our mother's mind in vain. Yi'an said indignantly.

As soon as Leng Xue finished complaining, she saw Concubine He, with the support of Lin Qiuhua, take off the hairpin ring and walk in plain clothes. With the concubine's move, Leng Xue naturally knew that she wanted to ask for guilt, these scenes, the queen mother had rehearsed in Xin Yaxuan, but she didn't expect this and the concubine to be able to put down her body and come.

"Yi'an, you go and report to Niangniang, I'll stop it first." Leng Xue said lightly.

"Okay." Yi'an responded, walked into the house quickly, and told Chu Lixue everything that happened today.

At this time, the outside of Fengluan Palace was already surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, Leng Xue was not good when she saw this, these palace maids and eunuchs naturally didn't know what was happening in Anning Palace, if they were allowed to chew their tongues in private, and then spread today's events, then the reputation of the queen mother would be ......

Chu Lixue listened to Yi'an's relays in the room, and sneered: "This is to make the palace ugly, and it is also to make the palace unable to deal with her." ”

"Master, she's just a concubine who doesn't have to rely on, what kind of life does the mother let her live in the palace, isn't that the master's final say? Could it be that he could still turn out the flowers? Yi'an said disdainfully.

"You saw the palace maids and eunuchs outside, this and the concubine came all the way from Anning Palace to Fengluan Palace, and those unaware palace maids and eunuchs naturally thought that the palace had treated her badly. If the eunuchs who went out to buy it spread out, it would be nothing if the palace would have a mean reputation, anyway, the palace would already have a jealous and mean reputation, but the palace couldn't care less about the emperor's reputation. Chu Lixue frowned.

"So what is the master going to do? Do you want them to be so persecuted? Yi'an said indignantly.

Who of them doesn't know that the purpose of returning to the palace with the concubine is not simple, isn't it just to continue the glory of the Qiu Lin family? Don't look at Lin Qiuhua, does she have that qualification?

At that time, outside the door, Leng Xue stepped forward and respectfully saluted to Concubine He, "Why is Concubine He like this?" Niangniang just now also instructed the slave maid to go to the imperial dining room to make a more sumptuous table for the concubine again, the slave maid did something wrong, and the concubine couldn't do such an act, so that people who don't know looked at it, and thought that our queen mother was not good to you. ”

Because Leng Xue deliberately aggravated the change word, so that the onlookers began to whisper, and many people saw Leng Xue carrying a big food box to Anning Palace, and soon saw Leng Xue leaving with a food box, what happened during the period, naturally not too many people knew, but it also gave people room for reverie.

originally thought that Leng Xue was bullying the concubine because she was the queen's maidservant, but now it seems that this and the concubine are a little confused about their identity.

"Hey, what kind of play is this and the concubine?" A good eunuch sneered.

"I heard that the queen made a bowl of longevity noodles with her own hands, and sent Aunt Leng Xue to the Anning Palace, and the concubine couldn't look down on the bowl of plain noodles, so she dropped the bowl in front of Aunt Leng Xue. Aunt Leng Xue left angrily. A little eunuch said softly.

"This and the concubine really don't know whether to live or die, the plain noodles made by the queen's mother herself, that is a very glorious thing, how can she also be a person who has been in the palace for more than ten years, how can she still do such a thing?" A palace maid looked incredulous.

"This is my sister, I'm afraid you don't know, originally I and the concubine wanted to do a big deal on my birthday, but the queen didn't allow it, she was holding her breath in her heart. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dropped the longevity noodles sent by the queen. ”

Here, Concubine He saw that Leng Xue was blocking outside, and didn't seem to want her to see Chu Lixue, so fortunately she knelt down, and this move was also seen by Nangong Yihan, who had just stepped into Fengluan Palace......
