83 Chapter 82 Birthday

It has been a month since that thrilling day, the matter of grain and grass in the northwest has been spread in Kyoto, the emperor fainted on the spot after hearing the rumors, and was shocked that the soul of the entire hospital was not possessed, and the harem concubines were sad 'color', and finally the emperor came to his senses, and the first thing he said was to strictly investigate the matter of grain and grass in the northwest! But the results of the investigation have not been delivered for a long time, and the emperor's 'sexuality' has become more and more irritable, and almost every time an official in the court has been 'affected' because of this! So much so that now the officials in Kyoto are all in danger, and they are cautious in their words and deeds, and they are not willing to say a word!

The Qin family is hitting the cusp of the 'waves' this time, and I don't know who 'exposed' the rumors, Qin Han 'forced' the slave to death, and the young 'girl' of the good family was beaten crazy on the spot by the angry Qin Jiannan, and the Qin family became the laughing stock of the people in Kyoto after tea and dinner for a while! Some people even shook out Qin Han's ignorance and absurdity, and even the emperor personally inquired about this matter, although he didn't pursue it more, but everyone knew that this bad impression was left, Qin Jiannan now every time he goes to court, he doesn't have a good face!

In three days, Duanmuqing's birthday will be held, but Kyoto is gloomy, and the plan of the Ministry of Rites to celebrate the emperor's birthday several times has been refuted by Duanmuqing!

At this time, the most leisurely person is probably Mu Qingya!

"An Zhi ......" Mu Qingya sat on the side of the 'bed', and her deep fingers poked Mu Anzhi's white and tender cheeks! The little guy is opening a pair of big dark eyes, and his mouth is slightly open with her movements! Mu Anzhi, who is already full moon, is much thinner than other children, but fortunately, under the "essence" of the heart, the "spirit" is still acceptable!

Mu Qingya bent her eyes, looking at her appearance clearly reflected in those clear eyes, she felt that her whole heart was calm! It is said that the child's eyes are the clearest, and after going through all kinds of things, she finally realized how rare such a pair of eyes is!

Qin Yue sat on the side, looking at the frolicking sister and brother next to her with pity, her eyes were as soft as the warm sun of early spring.

"Mother?"

Feeling Qin Yue's gaze, Mu Qingya raised her head and asked.

"Ya'er come over here and sit down and rest for a while, it's already noon, and you've been watching An Zhi there for most of the day! Let the 'milk' mother go down and feed Anzhi 'milk'! ”

Mu Qingya nodded, and the 'milk' mother on the side hurriedly stepped forward to hug the child.

"Be careful!"

The 'grandmother' mother hurriedly responded: "Yes, Miss don't worry, the slave will definitely serve the little master well!" "Now no one in the house knows that this little young master who has just completed the moon is favored by the third lady, and his 'fine' is so expensive that even the usual bird calls are afraid of startling him! Which of the current subordinates is not attentive and trembling!

After chatting with Qin Yue for a while, Mu Qingya returned to her courtyard. Le Qi greeted him and presented the letter he had just received!

"Miss, this is what I just received!"

"Well," Mu Qingya nodded, opened the envelope and just glanced at it, her pupils contracted suddenly, and the smile on her lips suddenly lost her temperature, "Le Qi, go and prepare, the emperor's birthday is coming, and it should be sent tomorrow, the birthday gift is a big deal, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"Yes, don't worry, Miss!" Leqi hurriedly responded!

Looking at the few words on the paper, Mu Qingya's eyes sank! It seems that this battle is about to start after all, but I don't know who will be the final winner! This emperor's birthday banquet has to be seen!

Although the matter of grain and grass in the northwest has not been resolved for a long time, and the people inside and outside the court are uneasy, Duanmuqing's birthday banquet is still very grand!

Mu Qingya changed into a silver-patterned embroidered hundred butterfly degree 'flower' skirt, pinned a white 'jade' inlaid pearl and cui 'jade' hairpin on her head, held a delicate fan, and applied a thin layer of fat powder on her face, making her skin more and more white and 'exquisite', and looked back at Mama Zhou on the side: "Mama, you look very uneasy today, you take care of your mother and younger brother in the house, you must not make any mistakes!" ”

"Yes, don't worry, Miss!" Mama Zhou lowered her voice, her heart moved slightly, and her face was full of determination, "The old slave is fighting for this 'sex' life, and he will definitely keep Mrs. and the little master safe!" ”

Mu Qingya got up, helped Mama Zhou up with her own hands, and said softly: "Mama, I'm not here, don't let anyone get close to the yard of your mother and younger brother, especially Aunt Wang and her two sisters!" ”

Mama Zhou's body trembled: "Miss, you mean ......"

Mu Qingya patted the back of her hand: "Qingya thanked Mama first!" ”

"Miss rest assured, the old slave will definitely live up to Miss's trust!"

Mu Qingya nodded, looked at Le Qi on the side, and saw her nodding slightly, only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and took her hand and got into the carriage entering the palace!

The whole imperial city is full of lights, the situation is more lively than the New Year, red 'color' lanterns and silk cloth are hung all over the corners of the imperial city, whether happy or not, each palace person has a joyful smile on his face, the atmosphere of the entire palace is rendered extraordinarily strong, as if there is no second expression except for laughing at them!

After all, Concubine Qin is Mu Qingya's aunt, and it is not easy for Qingya to enter the palace to give gifts, so she went to Concubine Qin first!

"Sister Qingya, you're here, my aunt and I have been looking forward to it for a day today!" Qin Jin was wearing a tuanjin zhuo 'flower' shirt on his upper body, a butterfly playing narcissus skirt shirt on his lower body, and his black hair was pinned up by the autumn butterfly Wusheng Qi frost hairpin, Xiuyun was disturbed, beautiful and elegant! I don't know what method she used, the scar on her face turned out to be much lighter, and it didn't affect her beauty at all if she didn't look carefully, plus her body became thinner and thinner because of her successive illnesses, and her sharp chin and slender eyelashes were more and more beautiful, just standing there quietly, raising her chin slightly, as if she would always be the eldest lady of the Qin family! After going through some training, it is more and more moving!

"I've seen Concubine Qin and Sister Jin!" Mu Qingya saluted with music.

Concubine Qin waved her hand to get her up: "Okay, it's almost time, we should also go to the main hall!" ”

As the sound of the announcement fell, Mu Qingya stepped into the main hall with Concubine Qin. Because it was still early, the emperor and the queen had not yet arrived, and when Concubine Qin came, the palace concubines on the several concubines who had come in early to wait hurriedly stepped forward to salute! After a few people greeted each other, Mu Qingya and Qin Jin sat down together!

From beginning to end, the corners of Qin Jin's mouth had a decent smile: "Sister Qingya, are Aunt Qin Yue and cousin okay?" ”

Mu Qingya smiled: "Naturally, it's good!" ”

"That's good, when I heard that Aunt Qin Yue was born prematurely, although I was in the palace, I was so worried about it, and now I am relieved to hear that they are fine!" Qin Jin said with a smile on his face, his tone revealing a faint joy and intimacy.

"Thank you, Sister Jin!" Mu Qingya's face remained the same, but she was slightly surprised in her heart, she hadn't seen her for a month, this Qin Jin had changed so much, it seemed that many things must have happened during this period that she didn't know......

After more than a quarter of an hour, the whip sounded at the entrance of the 'door': "The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived!" ”

"I've seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live! Queen Mother Chitose, Chitose, Chitose! ”

"All the ministers are flat!" Duanmu Qing walked onto the throne and turned around.

"Emperor Xie!"

Everyone got up, and only after Duanmu Qing spoke again did they sit back in their seats!

Mu Qingya raised her head slightly, her eyes inadvertently swept Duanmu Qing's face, his face was still cold and solemn, but the slightly pale face 'color' still 'revealed' his fatigue! Compared with the first time I saw him, the events of this time left a lot of marks on his body!

But Hou Xinlan is the opposite, she is dressed in a yellow 'colored' palace dress, and the phoenix hairpin on her head is shining, reflecting the flawless face that looks more noble and graceful! The 'fine' makeup helped her cover up the traces of the years very well, and she became more and more indifferent and noble, and pressed all the palace concubines down alive!

Looking at this incomparably noble 'woman' who was comparable to Duanmu Qing, Mu Qingya's eyes moved, and then returned to normal!

The sound of singing and dancing sounded slowly, and after Duanmuqing announced the opening of the banquet, everyone's emotions relaxed, and they came and went to say auspicious words, push cups and change lamps, a lively scene!

Suddenly, a little eunuch walked in quickly from the side 'door', and after the chief eunuch Gude saw his waist card, he hurriedly came down and asked twice! I don't know what the little eunuch said to him, but I saw him walk up the steps quickly and said, "The emperor is overjoyed, His Royal Highness the eldest prince has woken up!" Now I have come to the "door" of the "Jiao" Thai Palace, and I want to enter the palace to present gifts to the emperor! ”

Duanmu Qing was slightly stunned, and then his expression was happy: "Lingyun is awake?" Good! Good! ”

When the ministers below heard this, they immediately said in unison: "The emperor is overjoyed!" ”

"Haha, okay, go and invite the eldest prince in!"

Mu Qingya curled the corners of her lips and looked at Duanmu Lingyu who was sitting opposite from a distance. Duanmu Lingyu nodded slightly, his eyes 'wavering' light!

After a few months of lingering sickness, Duanmu Lingyun lost a lot of weight, plus he had just walked over, and he was still slightly panting, and the moment he saw Duanmu Qing, he suddenly knelt down, tears rolled down: "The son is not filial, so my father is worried about the son!" ”

Duanmuqing hurriedly motioned to the eunuch on the side to help him up: "My son get up quickly, is he okay?" ”

"Returning to my father, everything is fine with my sons, but when I think of disturbing my father's worries and worries for days, I feel uneasy, and I don't know what to do! The sons and daughters are really unfilial, and they have not been able to prepare a birthday gift for their father's 'fine' heart! ”

"Haha, don't worry, if you can wake up today, it's a birthday gift for your father! Come and sit on the sidelines, and if you're not feeling well, go back to rest early! Duanmu Qing said very tolerantly, seeing the eldest prince wake up, he always felt relieved in his heart, coupled with the flattery of the ministers around him, he felt that this was a rare good omen!

When the eldest prince heard this, he was even more 'excited' tears rippled, and praised the emperor for a while, and then the words of the great prince's father-son affection filled the entire hall endlessly!

It was a long time before the banquet began again! The relaxed atmosphere slowly spreads, and the laughter continues!

Several princes offered birthday gifts to congratulate Duanmuqing on his birthday! Even the second prince in the northwest asked someone to send a gift! Although Duanmu Qing's face is not obvious, his eyes are much softer!
