Of course, not only this, Qi Yunhao didn't know a lot of things, and she couldn't rule out contacting them, but hiding it from her. However, what she cares about now is where have all the people who married Mrs. Ye gone? Could it be that these people have been eliminated by the Mei family? But even if she had the guts, wouldn't King Dingbei stop it? The Ye family won't come to the door to denounce?

Liuli looked at the King of Dingbei and the Mei family, and suddenly felt that between the King of Dingbei and Mrs. Ye and the Mei family, there were strange things everywhere. And the grievances between Qi Yunhao and the king of Dingbei, will it have anything to do with this?

Liuli was full of questions, but she didn't have time to think deeply, because the porter had already come to report, saying that the eldest lady and the second lady of the Zhongyong Houfu had arrived at the door, because time was tight, so she would not enter the door, and asked the prince and the lady to get on the sedan chair and go to the door to meet.

So the crowd got up. Because it was a palace banquet, they all took their respective grades of sedan chairs today, and Sister Duan Wenhui and Qi Mulan first squeezed the sedan chair with Mei to the door, and then got into their respective mothers' sedan chairs. Liuli took the laurel begonia alone to sit in the second-grade sedan chair very comfortable, and when she arrived at the door, of course, she also got off the sedan chair and greeted the two ladies, and after a few polite sentences, she got into the car again.

The sedan chair went up the street, Liuli thought about it and asked Yuegui: "Have you ever heard of the prince and Mrs. Ye back then?" ”

Yuegui and the others thought for a while, shook their heads and said, "It's been twenty-one years since Mrs. Ye passed away, and the mansion has long been Mrs. Mei's world, who would mention this?" Knowing that Liuli wouldn't ask for no reason, he said, "If grandma wants to know, let's go back and inquire." ”

Liuli thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if you don't get this thing right, you will be in trouble." "To inquire about these things, you must not only take care of King Dingbei and Mei's family, but also have to worry about praying for Yunhao. Liuli had never heard him mention his mother, and on the premise that he didn't know how powerful, it was better not to touch it. Otherwise, he would not have questioned her. Even if she stabbed her like Duan Wenhui, she couldn't stand it. After all, it's someone else's business.

It didn't take long to arrive at Miyagi, and there were still eunuchs leading them. Go to Qingning Palace, where the East Palace is located.

Because Lu Zhen did not confer the title of imperial grandson, he only had the name of the emperor's eldest grandson. Therefore, this banquet was held in Qingning Palace. And the reason why he was not awarded the title of grandson, there are many sayings in the court, of course, more of them tend to be that the saint is not very satisfied with the prince's conduct, so he is not very fond of this eldest grandson. But the queen is different, the crown prince is her own son, and Lu Zhen is her eldest grandson. To a certain extent, they are also her dependence, and of course they spare no effort in the interests that can be fought for them.

So go to Qingning Palace on this way. The pomp and circumstance set up was no different from the wedding of the crown prince, and there was an endless stream of ministers and officials. When they got to the ground in front of Qingning Palace, another palace maid led the female dependents to the side palace to Zhongcui Palace, while the ministers stayed in Duanqing Palace.

Marriage in the palace is not like outside, but before noon. So they all came early, and this time the eldest grandson concubine is also on the way.

Liuli, Mei and others entered the Zhongcui Palace, and immediately a palace mother came to say: "Niangniang has something to say, please ask the ladies of the Dingbei Wangfu and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to go to the apse for tea." ”

Of course, the mother is the queen's mother, and the glass looks at the inner hall. I saw that the female eunuchs in the palace kept shuttling, thinking that there were already a lot of people, so they followed Mei and Mrs. Qi to the apse. And Sister Duan Wenhui and Qi Mulan stayed outside because they were not summoned.

Entering the hall, two more palace maids came out to open the curtains, and when their group entered, two more palace maids came to bow over, led the way, crossed a wide corridor, went up a few steps paved with carpet, passed through a large screen, and gradually heard a gentle female voice sounded one after another.

"Mrs. Dingbei Wang, Mrs. Zhenguo General, Mrs. Prince of Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, the second lady has arrived."

After the eunuch finished singing, he heard the old voice inside: "Please come in." ”

Mei and the prince's wife, Yang Shiqian, gave in and entered side by side. And Liuli, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Dingbei Palace, the future wife of the sect, is also qualified to enter side by side with Mrs. Qi.

This time down the jade steps, I found that there was a dressed queen sitting on the Danqi, wearing a crown of nine dragons and six phoenixes, wearing a dark green Zhai dress with small wheel flowers between the weaving Zhai Wen, and a jade leather belt wrapped in gold Yunlong Wen Qingqi at the waist, with countless gold and jade. There are also colorful ribbons, three-colored ribbons, complex and luxurious. is smiling and looking at them slightly.

There are more than a dozen noble ladies sitting on both sides of the head, each of whom is also wearing a phoenix crown and a xiaxia veil, and the eldest princess is sitting under the queen, and her eyes fall on Liuli, and Liuli is the first to see her in a group of people.

I saw her in Jinquan Temple that year, but I never saw her again. Liuli first bowed her head slightly, and as Mei and the others arrived in front of the Danqi to pay homage to the queen, they officially saluted her again.

Although she knew that her visit at this time was particularly meaningful in the eyes of insiders, such as Mei's, the corners of her mouth already had a meaningful smile, but she didn't dare to forget the eldest princess's kindness to her, let alone leave behind the etiquette that a junior should have for her because she was afraid of rumors. In any case, the eldest princess can afford her gift.

"You kid!"

The eldest princess obviously didn't expect her to do this, and she was a little angry in her words, pulled her up, and asked, "Has your master ever written to you?" ”

Liuli knew that she was looking for herself to go down the stairs, Guo Yao was the female official next to her, and she was Guo Yao's disciple, after the eldest princess asked, this etiquette seemed reasonable again. So he said: "Mr. is free to go, except for a letter from me who came to get married, there is no news about the rest, and I think I am doing well." ”

The eldest princess looked at her with a smile, patted the back of her hand, and sat her down.

Her position is below the Mei family, and the Mei family is opposite the eldest princess, the lower right head of the queen. Liuli raised her eyes and looked, in addition to the eldest princess, it turned out that there was also the little concubine of Yuwangfu, so she also smiled and owed. The little concubine will also be the princess of the county in the future, and the grade that the Mei family should have now, the prince of the older generation of this dynasty will also be the king of Yu, no matter what, Liuli will have to be one level lower, so this gift is also bearable.

In addition to these two people, the people next to her don't know much, she used to go to the banquet to make friends with young noblewomen, and now the first and second grades of the dynasty, the noble ladies who are ranked as princes are all a lot older, such as Princess Yu and Zhongyong Marquis and his wife, etc., will not come out to join in the fun, look at the age of the people here are also around forty, even if it is a nobleman in the palace, except for a Luo Guifei who is higher than herself, is the only concubine in the palace, nothing else is higher than her own, so calculated, such a grand wedding banquet, There are only a handful of people who can make themselves bend over.

Of course, in such a place, Luo Guifei will not be there.

The queen first exchanged a few words with Mei and the others, and then turned back with a smile and said: "Yun Hao and Mrs. are the saints and the palace are married, but the lady is the first time to see the palace, speaking of which, there must be a meeting gift." As he spoke, he waved his hand to let the palace maid behind him come closer, and ordered to take a very decent brocade box out.

On such occasions, the saint or the queen or even the nobles and ladies in the palace will prepare a few such gifts, after all, there will always be some unexpected people who need a reward temporarily, so when they saw the brocade box brought, Liuli got up and knelt down, and said to the ground: "The courtiers thank Niangniang for the reward, and I wish the Niangniang a thousand blessings and peace." ”

Mei Shi saw that she didn't shirk anything, but she couldn't help but get up from the side and said: "Niangniang's love is already infinite grace, where can I receive this reward again?" ”

As everyone knows, the elders reward each other, and as a junior, you can only accept it and not refuse, otherwise it means disrespect. Not to mention that the person in front of you is the most noble woman in the world, and her reward is accepted by the other party no matter how light or heavy, even if it is to give a cup of poisoned wine, you have no reason to refuse. Who knew that Mei Shi recklessly interjected such a sentence, and suddenly, the queen's face changed, Liuli was also surprised, and everyone in the room stopped talking.

Liuli knew that Mei's little family was angry, but she didn't expect it to be so unpopular, in fact, she also knew that the queen would not like her, because she once made the prince lose face in front of hundreds of people, and still has to bear many doubts from the people, at this time, the queen is just in front of everyone, expressing her importance to the Dingbei Palace, if she refuses, it is equivalent to directly brushing the queen's kindness to the ground, and she doesn't know how to lift it again, isn't this hitting the queen's face on behalf of the Dingbei Palace?

At this moment, Liuli really felt that Qi Yunhao's dislike for her was justified. Who would like such an ignorant stepmother who doesn't understand the situation?

"I think Mrs. Mei's words should mean that Mrs. General, as the daughter-in-law of the palace, has already received the favor of the saint and the mother at the wedding." At this time, the wife of the Marquis of Zhongyong, who came with her, Yang Shi smiled and spoke, "It's just that there is only one junior in the general's wife here, and the mother's reward is of course reasonable." ”

Liuli can see that this is a kind of mud, on the one hand, he wants to help Mei's round, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to offend the queen, so saying this is actually no different from not saying it.

The queen is the queen in the end, her face is not moving, and her smile is still there, but she looks at Mei's side, and her eyes seem to be a little slighter.

Although it is not possible to deal with the palace when the palace is locked up, this is related to the future of the entire Dingbei Palace. After thinking about it, he said: "The courtiers are young and ignorant, so I just saw that the box in the hands of the lady is very exquisite, and I think that since the lady has opened her mouth to reward, the courtiers are now going to rely on her young age to sell a good job, and ask the lady to reward the courtiers to play!" ”

She is exquisite, and she does look particularly delicate in a bunch of middle-aged and elderly women, and her voice is deliberately a little coquettish, and suddenly the childish state is revealed, and the eldest princess smiled and said: "Look at her playful appearance, her eyes are not bad, the mother is looking at her small person, don't be reluctant, give it to her!" ”
