The queen mother's birthday banquet, the emperor thought bitterly that the people of Chu and Zhou were living in hardship and suffered heavy losses, so he specially ordered that hundreds of officials did not have to enter the court to congratulate, nor did they hold a banquet, only the harem concubines and concubines could get together. Net hot

The simple birthday banquet was held by the emperor, the emperor took the lead in reducing the number of cases, the harem concubines and hundreds of officials followed suit and donated, and the wealthy businessmen helped each other, and the silver money was raised and governed by the household department, and all the proceeds were distributed to the affected people, which were subsidized and exempted from taxes for one year.

All of a sudden, the common people were all grateful for the emperor's grace.

At the same time, many people are also praying for the emperor and the child in the belly of Zhen Xiurong, thanking the heavens, and thinking that the child must be the reincarnation of immortals and purify all sentient beings.

When Su Jingxi heard the news, she laughed it off and did not comment.

Since she ruthlessly punished Yu Xunmei in public, no one dared to come to Guan Ju Palace to visit under the guise of "sisterhood", even if they occasionally met on the road, all the concubines avoided from afar, and few dared to come to her to find her unhappy.

The birthday banquet of the Queen Mother was held in the Taihe Palace, and Concubine Shu handled it single-handedly.

Su Jingxi finished dressing up and thought for a while, "This time, let Tingyao and Qinghuan follow, and the little nobleman will also go." ”

She really didn't dare to lower her vigilance, otherwise, the consequences were not something she was willing to bear.

"Yes."

Su Jingxi simply used a little food, padd her stomach, and took people to Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother worships the Buddha all the year round, but that was before, and recently she has been constantly telling everyone that her old man is going out of the mountain.

often sent people to Zhongcui Palace to pick up the three princes to get together, and the reputation was to take care of the days and serve the children and grandchildren, but smart people can see that the queen mother has a plan for the three princes.

Cultivating feelings, starting from a young age, and at the same time, it is also to avoid others from having a deep relationship with the three princes.

Su Jingxi pinched the hour and walked in, accompanied by the eunuch's shrill voice, "Zhen Xiurong Niangniang has arrived." ”

"Concubine Shu Guifei Niangniang," Su Jingxi stepped forward with a faint smile and saluted.

Concubine Shu Guifei, as usual, did not embarrass her, "Sister Zhen, please get up quickly." ”

"Xie Niangniang."

Although the queen mother's banquet was simple and the number of people was reduced to celebrate her birthday, the scale was still very large, and the harem concubines were basically all there, and more than half of the people were there.

Su Jingxi glanced around, the low-ranking concubines had basically arrived, except for Yu Xunmei, who was grounded because of her yesterday.

Presumably, she hated herself.

But so what?

As a mother, she is strong, she always has to think about the child in her belly, and other irrelevant people, as soon as possible, step aside;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

High-ranking concubines came in one after another, greeted each other, and exchanged two words of greeting.

"Sister Zhen has been okay lately" Concubine Shun sat down, and the position happened to be arranged above Su Jingxi, and said with a smile.

Su Jingxi hooked the corners of her mouth, "The concubine is very good, what about Sister Shun"

"This palace is just like that," Concubine Shun's tone was a little alienated, and she leaned in and whispered, "You are pregnant, you should be careful everywhere, you must not take it lightly, and you must not be sloppy." ”

Su Jingxi saw a little sincerity in her eyes, and nodded when she heard the words, "My sister knows." ”

Concubine Shun bowed, "It's good if you know." ”

She thought of her past and couldn't help but want to remind the young man that whether she accepted it or not, it was just a few words that didn't want money.

At the beginning, she was also pregnant, and almost became a mother, and in those days, she could slowly feel that there was really a life beating in her belly, and her blood was blending, and she was looking forward to it.

But later, like other women, they still took precautions.

The child is gone, her heart is dead, she has no intention of dealing with the emperor, and the emperor has no patience to comfort her, and after a few times, she completely loses her grace, worships the Buddha all the year round, and surpasses the infant spirit, which is also to atone for her own sins and find an excuse for her escape.

"The emperor has arrived, and the queen mother has arrived."

"Concubines, concubines, see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the queen mother, see the queen mother, the queen mother, the queen mother, the queen mother,

"Flat," Zong Zhengjin walked to his position and sat down, and spoke.

"Emperor Xie," get up and take a seat.

"Today is the birthday of the mourning family, you have come to celebrate your birthday, you have a heart," the Queen Mother glanced down and said with a smile.

Everyone should do it.

The Queen Mother's gaze stayed on Su Jingxi's body, "At the beginning, the mourning family said that you were blessed to give birth to an imperial heir, but I didn't think that what the mourning family said really came true, it can be seen that you and the child in your belly are as the emperor said, and you are a blessed one." ”

When Su Jingxi got up, she glanced up at that position, and saw that he was looking at her, showing a smile, and blessed her body, "Thanks to the Queen Mother's auspicious words, the concubine is grateful." ”

Why did the Queen Mother let her give birth to an imperial heir, and how she forced her, she naturally won't forget.

Even though the Queen Mother's words were beautiful, many people present at the time still remembered them clearly, but they just didn't mention them in their hearts.

"Since the Queen Mother said that you are blessed, then you can sit next to me and get more of the Queen Mother's joy," Zong Zhengjin said with a smile after she got up.

Su Jingxi was happy in her heart, she sat at the bottom, although she belonged to the upper position, but it was not as good as the position behind him.

The most important point is that behind him, the meals she uses are all his share, which is served by Su Shunxian himself, and someone has tried poison.

Well, she was much safer.

"Concubine Xie Emperor," Su Jingxi saluted and stepped forward.

The Queen Mother glanced at the unhappy appearance of the concubines lightly, and only pretended not to know, "Since the emperor asked Zhen Xiurong to touch the joy of the mourning family, the mourning family wants to let the Qi nobles also come over, what does the emperor think?"

"The Queen Mother's birthday, the Queen Mother is in charge," Zong Zhengjin was indispensable, and chuckled lightly when Su Jingxi passed by him.

When the others saw it, they were even more angry and bitter that they couldn't.

Su Jingxi listened to the meaning of the Queen Mother, who seemed to be equal to Qi Guiren, and sneered in her heart, the Queen Mother really lived more and more.

Seeing that the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother seems to be getting more and more tense, not only is she called "queen mother", but she is no longer "queen mother", it stands to reason that it is not impossible.

After all, the emperor was only fostered to the queen mother, not remembered.

Foster care is so different from foster care.

As the name suggests, the memory is to raise by name, and the royal jade plate has been changed, such as the current three princes, and the biological mother of the three princes recorded by future historians is An Shuyao, not Du Wanru; Foster care is really just foster care, temporary care, and then you can change to another place to raise at any time.

Not only did Su Jingxi feel the unusual atmosphere between the two, but the people below naturally heard it, among them, Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian thought the most.

No matter what they think, the emperor and the queen mother are still obsessed with whitewashing the peace, and only pretend to be filial to their mothers and sons as usual.

Su Jingxi didn't care how they acted, she sat in her position, and after listening to Yao's careful identification, she simply used two bites in the meal that was pleasing to the eye, and it was not much use.

On the viewing platform in the distance, the same festive opera was being sung lively, and the sound came, and Su Jingxi only glanced at it a few times and lost interest.

Sitting behind him, I unconsciously set my eyes on him.

Standing like a pine and sitting like a clock, he is talking like this, sitting upright on the dragon chair, his hands hanging down naturally, like a tall poplar, indescribably tasteful.

Zong Zhengjin also didn't care about eating, the Queen Mother chatted with Shangguan Mei, he was happy to be idle, and put his eyes on the singers, and without a moment, he felt that there was a gaze behind him.

He didn't know, and thought that he should move away after a while, but until the end of the opera, her eyes were still there.

Turning around helplessly, she saw that she was looking at him with admiration in her eyes, and the two looked at each other, she was a little embarrassed, and quickly moved away.

It seems that such a feast is not unbearable.

Su Jingxi might as well turn around suddenly and peek at others being caught red-handed, so don't be too embarrassed.

This scene fell in the eyes of Concubine Shu, who was sitting at the head of the emperor, and she turned her eyes away lightly, but her heart was mixed.

It turned out that when he got along with her, he was like this.

"Sister Shu, what's wrong with you, but you're not feeling well" Concubine Xian opened her mouth to break her contemplation, and her tone was concerned.

Although the voice was not loud, it was enough to attract the attention of the first person, and the Queen Mother did not shy away from her face and turned cold.

Her birthday banquet, under the pretext of being unwell, was purely unlucky for her.

Qiao Jingshu suppressed the emotion in her heart, "It's okay, why does my sister feel uncomfortable in this palace?"

Concubine Xian pinched the handkerchief, as if she didn't notice anything else, and showed a smile, "Isn't it because I saw that my sister's face was not good, so I asked Sister Shu to organize a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother, don't get tired." ”

Without waiting for Concubine Shu to speak, the Queen Mother said directly, "Yes, Concubine Shu, you are not a queen after all, you have no experience in many things, and it is understandable that you need to explore more, just don't get tired, otherwise it will be a mourning family." ”

This sentence really didn't give Concubine Shu face at all, and what he said was extremely hurtful.

If Concubine Shu wants to be the queen, then today's Queen Mother's sentence "You are not a queen after all" is afraid that she will not be able to raise her head in front of the late queen for the rest of her life and be inferior.

Su Jingxi sat on the periphery of the turmoil, quietly watching the battle, glanced at his side face, and saw that he didn't mean to help at all.

"The Queen Mother laughed, although the concubine is not as good as Queen Yu, but when she was at home, she also learned about housekeeping," Without waiting for them to answer, Concubine Shu said lightly.

"The concubines know that the Qiao family is not as good as the palace, but the emperor has always warned the concubines that they don't have to be arrogant, they dare to temporarily take the position of the queen and exercise the power of the six palaces.
