The queen mother is the biological mother of the current emperor, but she is not the queen of the first emperor, the first emperor and queen followed the first emperor when the seven sons seized the heir, and this became the current queen mother.

It is rumored that the queen mother was seriously ill after the seven sons took the throne, and after the emperor ascended the throne, she devoted herself to the Buddha almost as a secluded person, and there were no particularly major events, and it never appeared, so everyone was so surprised.

The Queen Mother walked in slowly from outside the door, looking at her kind eyebrows, I don't know if it was because of her dedication to the Buddha or good maintenance, she looked like she was in her fifties, and she didn't look like the Queen Mother at all.

"See the Queen Mother!" The crowd fell to their knees.

The emperor was also a little surprised, and while personally stepping forward to help the queen mother sit down, he asked, "Why is the queen mother here today?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the emperor with a faint smile and said, "Why, can't the mourning family come?" ”

"That's not what my son meant."

The queen mother was just joking with the emperor, and at this time Zhengse said: "The mourning family has lived in the harem for a long time, but today is the emperor's birthday, and the mourning family wants to come out for a walk." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "The son has long persuaded the queen mother to come out and walk around more, but the queen mother refuses. ”

"Yes, the queen mother, today is also lively, to ensure that the queen mother will not come out in vain."

The queen and concubine Shu on the side also hurriedly came over and talked to the queen mother in a funny way.

The emperor's eyes swept slightly, and the queen immediately came to her senses and said: "Today is the birthday of the saint, it is rare to have so many talented and beautiful people, it is better to let these talented and beautiful women show their talents, only to fight the queen mother's favor, what does the emperor want?" ”

"It's fine. If any of the performances are good, they can win the smile of the Queen Mother, and I and the Queen deserve to be rewarded. ”

The queen looked down with a smile and said, "Did you hear that?" I wonder who wants to be the first person to show their talents? ”

All the daughters, from the emperor's terrifying coercion just now, to Rong Shengjie saying that it was just a joke, and then to the arrival of the queen mother, although there is a certain amount of time, many people have not come to their senses at all, and naturally no one dares to stand up and show their talents at this time.

It's just that in this cold scene, the faces of the emperor and the queen are a little unsightly, and at this time, a delicate woman stood up from her seat, and Ying Ying bowed down and said: "The courtier Du Yueying is willing to be the person who throws bricks and leads the jade." ”

The queen immediately smiled and said, "Okay." ”

This Du Yueying is the youngest daughter of Du Guogong, that is, the queen's niece, at this time, Du Yueying can be the first to stand up, and the queen is naturally happy.

Obviously, Du Yueying has also been carefully cultivated by the Du family, and she played the piano melodiously and tactfully, and wanted to go around the beam for three days, which made everyone immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves, and the queen mother also showed a slight appreciation, and naturally won the emperor's reward.

With Du Yueying at the beginning, there are other daughters who have come up one after another to show their talents, or play the piano and kite, or dance, or sing movingly......

However, no one can match Du Yueying in terms of piano skills, and after several young ladies played the piano, others also avoided playing the piano, and the joy on the queen's face was even worse.

After Ling Qingrui saw the Queen Mother, she sat back next to the Seventh Princess, and the Seventh Princess looked at her with a look of adoration, which made her feel a little ridiculous, and the Seventh Princess saw that she never talked to her, and after holding it for a long time, she finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"Sister Rui, you are so powerful, you even dare to beat the prince of Lieliang Kingdom, aren't you afraid of him slapping it down?"

Raising his eyes and glancing at the first few people slightly, seeing that no one was paying attention to this, Ling Qingrui lowered his voice and smiled: "He won't, Rong Shengjie looks irritable and irritable on the surface, easy to do, but in fact, what to do and what not to do, he knows in his heart." ”

The seventh princess nodded a little ignorantly, not quite understanding that when Ling Qingrui took off the gauze, Rong Shengjie had already moved, if it wasn't for Jing Mofeng reaching out and pulling it, I am afraid that Ling Qingrui would have been killed on the spot, but after being slapped by Ling Qingrui, she would not have done it.

Ling Qingrui naturally wouldn't tell her that when Rong Shengjie's previous palm knocked off the hairpin on her head, she was keenly aware that Rong Shengjie was measured in his hands, and it seemed that it was Jing Mofeng's pull that made her escape, but in fact, even if there was no one, Rong Shengjie's palm would not really slap on her.

I don't know for what purpose, Rong Shengjie has been acting, playing a rude and irritable person, who has no scruples to provoke everywhere, and is extremely arrogant, so he is also acting in that palm, and of course he is also intimidating her.

I believe that Jing Mofeng is also aware of it, but Ling Qingrui is still grateful for Jing Mofeng's rescue.

Between the two of them, there was really a lot of involvement, and it was definitely not Ling Qingrui who simply slapped Rong Shengjie when she heard Rong Shengjie insulting Jing Mofeng, such a thing can be smoothed out.

The seventh princess didn't know what she thought, and suddenly her eyes lit up, she looked at Ling Qingrui and asked, "Sister Rui, do you also think that my fifth brother is not as mediocre and incompetent as the world says?" ”

Also?

Ling Qingrui keenly noticed the word "also", and secretly wondered if the Seventh Princess thought so, or was there someone else?

Just as the Seventh Princess was urging Ling Qingrui to answer, she heard a slightly shrill and delicate voice coming.

"The courtiers have heard the good name of the county lord of Anjin for a long time, but it is rare to have a chance to get close, the county lord of Anjin has to be named the county lord, inherit the great grace of the emperor, and today is the emperor's birthday, don't you offer your own heart?"

Ling Qingrui didn't need to raise her eyes to look, she knew that it must be Shen Yunru, I am afraid that only Shen Yunru, a person who does not know the height of the sky, would take the initiative to provoke her on such an occasion, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Shen Yunru looking at her triumphantly despite the obstruction of Mrs. Shen beside her.

This Shen Yunru must have heard the two sisters of the Liu family say that she Ling Qingrui does not know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor does she know anything like a female celebrity, and she wants to make her embarrassed in front of the emperor, so that she will not be able to raise her head in the future.

It's just that Shen Yunru doesn't want to think about it, her county lord's seal is inherited from Prince De's words, and the word An Jin is even more sealed by the emperor, if she loses face, how can the emperor look good on his face? Although he doesn't hold a grudge against such a little woman, his father Shen Chengyun must also be uncomfortable.

Hearing Shen Yunru say this, the Queen Mother seemed to be interested, and couldn't help asking: "Which is the county lord of An Jin?" ”

Ling Qingrui had no choice but to get up and walk out, and bowed, "An Jin greets the Queen Mother." ”

"Raise your head and show the mourners."

Although the Queen Mother ignores the world, she also knows many things, Ling Qingrui was named the county lord because she solved the poison of the plague and saved the seventh princess, the Queen Mother has already heard about it, and today is just taking this opportunity to meet Ling Qingrui to see what kind of character she is.

Just when Ling Qingrui raised her head slightly, the Queen Mother carefully examined her appearance, but the indifferent expression in her eyes turned into surprise and astonishment, but it was only for a moment, and then the Queen Mother nodded casually, and said: "You are a good boy with good character, what do you know, what do you want to perform?" ”

Hearing the Queen Mother say the four words of good looks, Ling Qingrui had an inexplicable strange feeling in her heart, she knew that her appearance was not a beauty, but why did she feel that the four words of the Queen Mother seemed to refer to it, but Ling Qingrui secretly wondered in her heart, and replied in her mouth: "Back to the Queen Mother, An Jin ......"

Without waiting for Ling Qingrui to finish speaking, Shen Yunru came up again and said, "County Lord Anjin can't perform any palm carving, it's not good to use a carving knife in front of the emperor." ”

Shen Yunru was still proudly blocking Ling Qingrui's back road, but she heard Liu Mengxi say that Ling Qingrui had only performed palm carving once, she said it in advance, look at what Ling Qingrui is performing now, but she didn't know her face, the Queen Mother and the Emperor and others who watched it secretly frowned, and Shen was so frightened that she almost fell directly to the ground.

"Please the queen mother, the emperor and the queen mother forgive the sins, the little girl is young and ignorant, she is just thinking about the emperor's safety, so she can't help but speak, please the emperor and the queen mother."

Shen Yunru saw that her mother knelt on the ground, although she didn't know what she said wrong, but she also knelt on the ground under Shen's pull.

The Queen Mother glanced at the two of them slightly, but did not speak, and the queen on the side said: "Since you are young, don't come to the next palace banquet." ”

"Queen Xie is forgiving, and the emperor is gracious!" Shen's face turned pale and kowtowed repeatedly.

Even if Shen Yunru didn't know what mistake she had made, she understood when she heard the queen's words at this time, the queen would not allow her to participate in the palace banquet in the future, and her face suddenly turned white, she opened her mouth but didn't dare to say anything, just looked at Ling Qingrui with resentful eyes.

Feeling that gaze full of hatred, Ling Qingrui hooked her lips slightly, Shen Yunru really won't die if she doesn't do it, what kind of occasion is this, and it is her turn to be the daughter of a courtier?

Ling Qingrui pretended that nothing had happened, and continued to reply: "An Jin only came to the capital after the New Year, if the nobles in Beijing have such exquisite and wonderful talents, An Jin is only a shallow learner, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the things to be elegant." It's just that the Queen Mother personally inquired, and An Jin performed to make the Queen Mother smile. ”

The words are very beautiful, in fact, Ling Qingrui is also thinking about what she should perform.

At this time, Concubine Shu suddenly said: "I just heard that An Jin County Lord is good at palm carving, I wonder if An Jin can show what palm carving is?" ”

As soon as she raised her eyes, Ling Qingrui met Concubine Shu's phoenix eyes, she knew that Concubine Shu had already recognized her, before outside the Dry Rain Palace, although she only opened her mouth to say a word, and was quickly covered by Ye Zhanli, but I believe that Concubine Shu had already recognized it from her voice.

I'm afraid that at this time, Concubine Shu opened her mouth, not with good intentions, but to punish her with the crime of carrying sharp weapons in front of the emperor when she performed palm carving.

But......

Looking at a certain item on Concubine Shu's head, Ling Qingrui's eyes flashed slightly, and the pear vortex on her cheeks loomed, since Concubine Shu wanted to see the so-called palm carving so much, then let her see enough at once!
