A painting by Song Ningyin made the scene a little more subtle. On the surface, the emperor and the queen mother were very satisfied with the painting. In the eyes of other people who racked their brains to prepare the birthday gift for the Queen Mother, there was a little more suspicion of luck and opportunism, and the eyes of Song Ningyin were even more ridiculous and dissatisfied.

Song Ningyin raised his head slightly, as if he didn't pay any attention to the eyes of the next concubines. With a slight smug smile on his lips, he respectfully performed a palace salute to the Queen Mother.

Song Jinyan seemed to remember something, and continued: "I remember that Song Chang has been in the palace for a while. ”

Song Ningyin and were stunned, and instantly reacted to the emperor's meaning, couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and said with a calm face: "What the emperor said, it will be almost half a year since the concubine entered the palace. ”

Song Jinyan's face was even more gentle: "Your father often helps me in the previous dynasty, and I have been busy with affairs recently, but I don't know how you are adapting in the harem?" ”

Song Ningyin bowed her head, and her face was even more modest: "Back to the emperor, thanks to the queen's care, everything is fine with the concubines." ”

Waving his hand, Song Jinyan continued: "Song Chang is gentle and frugal, and he was canonized as a noble person on the same day, and his title is clear. ”

Among the show girls who entered the palace in the same period, Yang Min has taken the lead in becoming a nobleman, and now there is another Song Ningyinhe, with this painting, now not only has he become a nobleman, but also has a title. You must know that they are all nobles, but with a title, you must be more noble.

Kou Shu's eyes moved slightly, and then looked at Yang Min under the stage, and his face was really ugly.

Then the various palace people who came up again, although they were also carefully prepared, but there was a pearl and jade in front, the queen mother was obviously not interested, only Sun Shangyan sent a pair of her own embroidered longevity map, which was embroidered with more than 100 longevity words with red bordered gold thread, which was barely into the eyes of the queen mother. The rest was put into the storeroom.

After the link of giving the queen mother's congratulatory gifts, everything else is in accordance with the usual rules, the song and dance palace people in the palace came forward to play, and there were almond Buddha's hands on the table, milk white jujube treasure, milk white jujube treasure and other food, although precious and delicious, but there is nothing unusual. Kou Shu lowered her head and looked at the wine in the glass quietly, as if she was distracted.

After the banquet, the concubines all returned to the palace separately.

In Changle Palace, Ripple changed Kou Shu's dress and hair bun for Kou Shu, and said with dripping eyes: "Niangniang, today's Queen Mother's birthday, can give that Song Changzai a face." The emperor was so happy that he even gave him a title. ”

You must know that in this dynasty, there is a huge difference between having a title and not having a title, no title means that in the palace, you are still an outsider, using a foreign surname, and having a title is a real recognition of you, which means that you are really integrated into the palace.

Kou Shu looked at herself in the bronze mirror and smiled faintly: "This may not be. ”

"Not necessarily?" Ripples were puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" Today, Song Chang is here, how majestic and majestic she is, the emperor actually praised her father in front of everyone, isn't this clearly telling everyone that she has a great backer? ”

"It's not Song Changzai, it should be time to call Qing nobles now." The mandarin duck corrected on the side, because it was the birthday of the Queen Mother, Kou Shu combed an extremely cumbersome Xichi hairpin, and half an hour had passed just by dismantling Kou Shu's bun while speaking.

"Niangniang-" The mandarin duck lowered her head and said respectfully: "The bun is all done." ”

Kou Shu waved her hand and said casually: "Mandarin duck, tell me, what do you think of today's events?" ”

Yuan Yun is a practitioner, it is difficult for her to ask her about such a thing, on ordinary days, Yuan Yun is also waiting in the outer hall, and his inner hall is waiting for mandarin ducks and ripples.

When the mandarin duck heard Kou Shu's words, he couldn't help frowning, tilted his head and thought carefully for a while, and said, "Today's matter, how the slave and maid think about it, it is the same as Ripple's thoughts. ”

"Oh?" Kou Shu raised her eyebrows: "Do you also think that today's birthday, the biggest winner is that noble person?" ”

The mandarin duck nodded, with a little doubt in his eyes.

Kou Shu's hand gently brushed the tips of her hair, playing with her ink-like black hair, and said unhurriedly: "You can't just look at the surface, the Qing nobles have won the favor of the Queen Mother today, but haven't you seen that after her, all the other palace concubines' congratulatory gifts are not treated by the Queen Mother?" ”

Ripples were stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to react, but the mandarin duck looked thoughtful.

Kou Shu continued: "Using such an eye-catching method to ascend to the throne has almost offended almost everyone's concubines, and the emperor's words about the Song scholars of the previous dynasty have added fuel to the fire. Could it be that he is the only one in this palace who serves the country? ”

The mandarin duck nodded, obviously understood.

Kou Shu showed an approving smile in her eyes, and continued: "Don't forget, there is also a Northwest general who went into battle to kill the enemy at the border pass, no matter how bad it is, there is also a daughter of the Marquis of Dingguo who died in the harem to save the emperor, if you want to talk about meritorious service, who doesn't have a little bit of support in this harem?" ”

"That ......" Ripple frowned, and his little face wrinkled into a bitter melon: "Niangniang, what do you mean by talking about it?" ”

"Niangniang wants to say-" Mandarin Duck opened his mouth to explain: "Today, the Qing nobles were used as guns. ”

A smile flashed in Kou Shu's eyes, she covered her mouth with her hand and slowly yawned, and said with a light smile: "Behind the flowers, you don't know if it's not fried and cooked." ”

On the second day, the emperor's reward to the Qing nobles arrived, in addition to the smoker, flower bottles, step shaking, Ruyi, and more specially, the Qing nobles said that their painting skills were not good, and they wanted their painting skills to be further improved.

Tang Yuan is the crown prince and young master, he was famous all over the world at a young age, and he had retired and resigned many years ago, and now the emperor actually invited Tang Yuan out of the Qing nobles. It's hard to help but look sideways. All the palaces were red-eyed. But he didn't dare to say anything.

However, these things are also the affairs of the lower concubines, and for Kou Shu, it is just a matter of hearing the news. And when it came to Lan Ruoxuan's ears, it had a different meaning.

In the imperial garden, Shuangying lowered her head and stood respectfully beside Lan Ruoxuan. Lan Ruoxuan's eyes looked at a group of people not far away, and saw that among the crowd, there was a man and a woman who were the most eye-catching. The man wears a purple and gold crown on his head, and there is no doubt that it is Song Jinyan. The woman's cinnamon green chest-length Ruijin skirt is lined with white skin and snow, beautiful and refined, and it is undoubtedly the new Qing nobleman who has been in the limelight recently.
