"Isn't it the time?" Liang Yue looked at the Queen Mother's surprised face, and said suspiciously: "Before the concubine came here, a palace maid came to inform the time, and there is nothing wrong with it." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes sank: "Did the queen's people tell you?" ”

Liang Yue nodded, and the person who came claimed to be from Kunning Palace.

This is interesting, the Queen Mother smiled lightly, and said to Li Gonggong, who was standing next to her: "Little Lizi, you go to inquire about the mourning family, what time of day the invitations have been received by each palace." ”

"The minions obey." Gonggong Li answered, grabbed the dust and walked out. Liang Yue was a little strange, looked at the Queen Mother and asked, "But is there anything wrong?" ”

The queen mother straightened out her clothes, was helped up by the palace maid, and said with a smile: "You girl, you are also lucky, if you don't come to the mourning family on a whim, maybe you will be on the road tonight." Come, go to the front hall with the mourning family. ”

Liang Yue then stood up, stepped forward to help the Queen Mother, and followed her out.

Hearing this, could it be that someone deliberately told her the wrong time? Liang Yue frowned and thought about it, the person who came had already made it clear that she was from Kunning Palace, if she really wanted to make her miss the time, wouldn't the queen be afraid of being implicated? This trick is not very clever, and if you are not careful, you will get into trouble.

Walking to the front hall, there are palace people who are preparing for the dinner in and out, seeing the queen mother coming in, the steward of Cining Palace, Mama Haitang, bowed down and said: "The queen mother, there is still a while to start, why did you come in advance?" ”

The Queen Mother bowed, glanced at the hall, and said, "The mourning family wants to come and sit in advance today, you are busy." ”

Mama Haitang answered, and continued to turn around and tell the palace people to do things. The Queen Mother took Liang Yue to the inconspicuous seat next to her and sat down, and said with a smile: "Liang Yue, you will accompany the mourning family to take a look, what kind of moth is this calculation to Cining Palace." ”

"Yes." Liang Yue stood beside the Queen Mother and looked outside suspiciously. Now there are still three moments before the unitary hour, and some shadows of the sedan chair can be seen in the distance.

"Queen Mother." Gonggong Li came back, walked in and looked for a while before he saw the Queen Mother and Liang Yue, and hurriedly saluted: "The slave asked people to inquire carefully, and the hours received by the masters of each palace are all unitary time." The same is true of the concubines of Fukuzawa Palace. ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, glanced at Liangyue, and said to Li Gonggong: "The mourning family knows." ”

All know that it is the unitary time, is she the only one who is the time of the hour? Liang Yue chuckled, in this hour, the dinner party will be over. The purpose of the banquet is nothing more than to have something to do with this southern tour, and I don't even want to give her the opportunity to attend? Thankfully, she came today.

What she is curious about now is, is this the queen doing this? If so, then it will be fun to meet later. If she doesn't come, there will be nowhere to redress her grievances after the banquet is over. But it just so happened that she came ahead of schedule, and she also told the Queen Mother that she was the palace maid of Kunning Palace. If the queen knew, what kind of expression would she have?

On the contrary, if it weren't for her, then this person would be more clever, killing two birds with one stone.

After sitting for a while, a palace person shouted at the door: "Concubine Shuniang has arrived-"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a lady in a dazzling emerald green palace dress stepping into the door with a smile, looked at a few tables, and said with a smile: "Hey, why is this palace the first to arrive?" The sisters are too calm. ”

After speaking, he walked to the tables on the upper seats, and chose the first large table to sit down.

In addition to the queen, Concubine Shu has the highest rank, so she should also sit there. The Queen Mother watched from the side and motioned to Liang Yue to put down the curtain hanging on the side. This corner is already hidden, and when the curtain is lowered, basically no one can see it. Gonggong Li stood farther away, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the view of this corner.

After a while, the concubines came one after another. Fu Zhaoyi and Jia Zhaoyi actually came together, and Liang Yue was stunned.

Shangguan Liu'er's face was good, but the look in her eyes was a little lonely, and she walked in with Fu Zhaoyi, and she didn't have the same activity as before, so she sat quietly at the second table and whispered with Fu Zhaoyi.

Then came Concubine Liang and Concubine Sun, Concubine Sun smiled decently, and her water-colored palace dress was not particularly gorgeous, but it happened to be dazzling in Concubine Liang's long red dress. Concubine Liang smiled unabashedly, the golden step on her head trembled, and she walked to the first table with Concubine Sun and sat down.

"Yo, who should I be?" Concubine Shu raised her eyelids, glanced at Concubine Liang, who was smiling indistinctly, and snorted coldly: "Sister Concubine Liang, this is Cining Palace anyway, can't you restrain yourself?" Before anyone came in, I heard your laughter from afar, and I was not afraid of startling the Queen Mother. ”

Concubine Liang raised her eyebrows, smiled a little, looked at Concubine Shu and said: "On the way here, the palace will talk to Concubine Sun, today's clothes are the material rewarded by the emperor some time ago, and the palace is looking at whether the color will be bright, Concubine Sun said no, it depends on who will wear emerald to set off a landscape." Who knows, when I came in, I saw you, Concubine Shu, this palace dress is really good-looking. ”

Concubine Shu's face sank, she glanced at Concubine Liang's palace clothes, got up with some annoyance, and said, "Listen to the rain, accompany the palace back to change clothes!" Who chose this set for this palace today, bad luck! ”

Hearing this, Concubine Shu's palace maid turned slightly pale, and hurriedly responded to accompany Concubine Shu to go back to change, but she heard a shallow voice coming from the door: "Concubine Shu'an, Concubine Liang, Concubine Sun Niangniang Wan'an." ”

It was Zuo Qingling, Liang Yue raised her eyebrows, and watched Zuo Qingling and Li Wanting enter the door. The two just agreed, and the clothing regulations were naturally much simpler, and looking through the curtains, it was not outstanding.

"Niangniang will go back and change her clothes now, I'm afraid I'll miss the time later." Zuo Qingling smiled and spoke, walked in front of Concubine Shu, bowed her head slightly and said: "The concubine saw Niangniang Yiqi from afar, but she couldn't catch up with Niang Niang at that time, and I hope that Niangniang will forgive her sins." ”

Does this mean to surrender? Concubine Shu looked at Zuo Qingling for a while, and said lightly: "Just calm down, you are also a person who knows things." But Bengong doesn't like this clothes, and he doesn't feel comfortable wearing food, so he naturally has to go back to change. lest you be treated as a green leaf by amorous people and forget your identity. ”

Concubine Liang snorted and continued to laugh with Concubine Sun, without any intention of arguing with her. This is Cining Palace, I want to go back to change my clothes, and it is Concubine Shu who suffers, not her.

"Niangniang's palace dress, the concubine feels very good when she looks at it." Zuo Qingling said with a smile: "Look at this day, I'm afraid it's raining tonight, so that the concubine reminds me of the sentence 'it should be green, fat, red and thin', the harem is purple and red, and the emerald green is lined with eyes." ”

Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly, turned her head to look at Concubine Liang's sinking expression, and said loudly: "What a green, fat, red and thin person, Zuo promised to really be able to speak." Isn't it? Everywhere is bright red and red, and this palace looks comfortable for a while. Okay, you don't have to go back to change, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother should also come. ”

Concubine Liang squinted slightly and glanced at Zuo Qingling, who lowered her head and humbly sat at the third table with Li Wanting without speaking again.

"This girl is too bold." The Queen Mother looked at it and laughed lowly: "It's a good thing to stand on the right line, but if you come out and talk like this, you won't be pleasing to both sides." Liangyue, do you know this person well? ”

Liang Yue pursed her lips, not knowing if she was familiar with it, but said: "It's a show girl with a concubine, and her temperament... It's also interesting. ”

The Queen Mother looked at the people outside, and it was almost the same. After Mei agreed, only the queen did not arrive.

"When will the Queen Mother wait?" Liang Yue asked softly.

The Queen Mother listened to the conversation outside and smiled slightly: "Wait a little longer, maybe there will be some good show." Mourning family, this is how they came back then. Looking at them, I always feel pity and nostalgia. ”

Liang Yue was stunned when she heard this, and the Queen Mother suddenly turned her head to look at her, and said with a smile in her eyes: "The position of the mourning family, Liang Yue, are you envious?" ”

Envy... Liang Yue was silent, looking at the Queen Mother's face that was smiling happily but full of loneliness, pursed her lips, shook her head and said: "Liang Yue is still more suitable for the rivers and lakes, although it is not rich enough, but at least... There is still someone who can accompany me to the end of the world. ”

The Queen Mother sighed, touched the jade bracelet on her hand, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's good, it's a pity, the mourning family chose the wrong path at the beginning, it's better for you to be sober." ”

Behind the Queen Mother, there seem to be a lot of stories. Liang Yue stood quietly and did not speak again. After waiting for a while, the eunuch's promise finally came from outside: "The queen has arrived-"

The Queen Mother came back to her senses and looked sideways, Situ Ning was dressed in a red and black palace costume, wearing a phoenix crown, and walked in with great grace.

"The Queen's Mother, Jin An." The crowd stood up and saluted.

"Flat." Situ Ning smiled generously, walked to the first table, looked at a few concubines, picked up the seat next to the upper seat and sat down, and asked with a smile: "Hasn't the Queen Mother arrived yet?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and the queen glanced at the second table and said, "Everyone has arrived?" ”

Concubine Shu glanced at the second table, and so did Concubine Liang. Is the queen pretending to be stupid? The hot Mo Zhaoyi in the harem now has clearly not arrived yet. It's just that no one will say it, and if she doesn't come, it won't hurt anyone.

"Concubine Sun, where is that Mo Zhaoyi in your Fuze Palace?" The queen suddenly found out, looked at Concubine Sun and asked, "This person is all together, she won't be later than the queen mother?" ”

Concubine Sun hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Back to the queen's mother, the concubine doesn't know, when the concubine left Fuze Palace, she didn't see her." ”

"Really?" Situ Ning frowned slightly, and waved his hand to beckon Bi Ye: "Let people go and see, if the Queen Mother comes later, if she is late, she will commit a crime." ”

Biye answered and hurriedly ran out.

The Queen Mother looked at it and curled her lips slightly. This Situ Ning is very similar to when she was young, smart, and knows the general situation. It's a pity that such a woman's fate in the future will be the same as her at most.

After waiting for a long time, Biye didn't come back, Situ Ning sighed and said: "Let's go and invite the Queen Mother first, Mo Zhaoyi won't come, and don't say anything, lest the Queen Mother be blamed." ”
