Chapter Forty-Eight: The Daughter of the Rejuvenation of the Country

The day of the concubine's birth was a little faster than expected, because the queen mother made people loosen the bluestone slab in the palace of the concubine. And the bluestone road is where the concubine walks every day.

The concubine fell and gave birth prematurely. After experiencing some pain, the concubine gave birth to the little prince safely.

The emperor cherished the little prince, and after the concubine Niangniang cried, he ordered a strict investigation of the matter, and finally found a little eunuch in the palace of the concubine.

After the little eunuch was severely punished, he confessed to the queen's mother. It turned out that the queen mother controlled the little eunuch's family.

The concubine cried, and the little prince cried, which made the emperor feel very distressed. The emperor was furious and almost abolished the queen mother into the cold palace, but fortunately, the prince hurriedly entered the palace to plead, so he only grounded the queen mother for half a year.

Now the affairs of the six palaces are all in charge of the concubine Niangniang.

Wen Jin still heard these news from the old lady. Although the punishment of the queen mother is not heavy, it is also the maximum limit that the emperor can do.

Not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is from the queen's mother, let's just say that the power of the queen's mother's family, the emperor will definitely not abolish the queen's mother in order to stabilize the previous dynasty and the harem.

But in this way, the concubine is like an ant on a hot pot. Although the emperor is in good health, he can't withstand old age and weakness. In case the emperor goes one day and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne smoothly, the first to bear the brunt of the time will be the concubine Niangniang and the prince from it.

Therefore, the concubine will move constantly now! But this is also exactly what Wen Jin wants.

Wen Jin went to ask the old lady for peace, and the old lady asked Wen Jin about Wen Jin's etiquette in front of Gao.

Wen Jin's birthday was in the winter moon, and now it is August.

Gao hurriedly answered, "The eldest daughter in our house is the top priority? The daughter-in-law has already ordered someone to prepare, and she will definitely not let people see the joke. ”

Wen Jin hurriedly saluted and thanked him, "Wen Jin thanks Mrs. for her hard work." ”

Gao Shi took Wen Jin's hand cordially, and said with a smile, "Miss, where are you talking about, as the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I should do these things." ”

The old lady was also concerned, "Sister Wen is right, you will give birth next month, you shouldn't work so hard." ”

Gao Shi smiled and said that this was his duty and duty, which made the old lady feel relieved again.

While talking and laughing, Qiushuang walked in from outside, "Old lady, someone from the palace has handed over the post." ”

The old lady was shocked, and she didn't know whether she was happy or worried, so she hurriedly said, "Please come in." ”

The person who came was a little eunuch, and the little eunuch saluted several times. Only then did he say with a smile on his face, "The slave is in the palace of the concubine, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the concubine Niangniang set up a banquet in the palace, and invited the ladies and ladies of the official family to participate." ”

The old lady took the invitation with a busy smile, invited the father-in-law to drink tea, handed the purse, and invited the father-in-law out.

There were no outsiders in Chunrong Hall, and Gao asked suspiciously, "The concubine has only been giving birth for a short time, and she hasn't been confined on August 15 yet?" How did you set up a feast? ”

The old lady glanced at Gao with a deep gaze, and Gao knew that he was talking too much, so he hurriedly silenced him.

The old lady did not teach the Gao family, but explained, "The noble concubine Niangniang is now managing the affairs of the six palaces, so she naturally has to be thoughtful in everything. ”

Gao suddenly came to his senses. It turns out that the concubine is here to show off her rights!

The old lady instructed, "If you are not in good health, let Aunt Li arrange to customize new clothes and jewelry for the girl!" ”

"On the day you entered the palace, you should also be careful and vigilant in everything, and now you are about to give birth." The old lady glanced at Gao worriedly.

Gao Shi hurriedly said, "Don't worry, old lady, I will be cautious." ”

Wen Jin also said, "Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely not let my little brother be hurt in the slightest." ”

As soon as Wen Jin said this, the old lady and the Gao family both laughed from the bottom of their hearts. Gao also glanced at Wen Jin with joy.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, is it really true?

The matter of entering the palace was arranged quickly, and on that day Gao wore a pleated skirt of woven gold peony in coupling color. Although the coupling color is not eye-catching, it looks dignified and steady, and the woven gold peony just sets off Gao's identity, and it will not be underestimated.

Gao wore ruby inlaid gold head jewelry, which can be regarded as luxurious makeup.

Looking at Wenjin again, he was wearing a violet Luo skirt, and he was wearing an amethyst forehead and a gold-inlaid purple jade on his head.

Although the dress is simple, it reveals elegance everywhere. The luxurious temperament of the body is not inferior at all.

Yunjin rarely wears a bright color like goose yellow, and it is even more white and snowy. Wearing a pair of exquisite eight-treasure hairpins on his head, he is even more luxurious.

The carriage moved slowly, and Wen Jin soon smelled the oppressive atmosphere in the deep palace.

Gao was supported by Xiangxing and walked in front of the palace road, and Wen Jin and Yun Jin walked behind with the help of free maids.

Because she entered the palace to participate in the banquet, the official lady only brought a maid to serve. Wen Jin originally planned to bring bamboo leaves with martial arts, but he thought that there were still many things to use medicine at the banquet, so he brought Zhu Qing, who was proficient in pharmacology.

When you enter the palace gate and get off the carriage, there will be a little eunuch to guide the way, and when you stay outside the banquet, there will be a little palace maid to guide the way.

As usual, the ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion were placed in slightly higher positions. Wen Jin sat slowly, but he couldn't settle down anymore.

Seeing that the banquet was full of official daughters, Wen Jin was secretly thinking about the intention of the concubine to hold the banquet, was it really just to show off her power?

"The concubine has arrived." Soon the voice of the eunuch sounded outside.

Because the concubine Niangniang is still in confinement, the sedan chair of the concubine Niangniang fell at the gate of the palace. The concubine Niangniang was carefully supported by the two palace maids and sat on the high position.

"See Guifei Niangniang, Guifei Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." Everyone stood up and saluted.

"Let's all be exempt!" The concubine sat down before she spoke.

"Thank you, Lady Gui." And they all sat down carefully.

"Let all the ladies and ladies participate in the banquet today, one is to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together, and the other is to fill the harem."

The concubine said this with a smile. Whispers began to arise below. It's really not to blame the ladies and ladies of each family for losing their sense of proportion, but the words of the noble concubine are too shocking.

Wen Jin and Yun Jin also glanced at each other, their eyes revealing worry and nervousness.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, the concubine said with a smile, "The emperor should come over in another quarter of an hour, please get ready to present your talents to the emperor!" ”

"If you are fortunate enough to be called a sister to this palace, it will be a blessing for you."

Although a few of the ladies present were happy, the rest were not happy. The emperor has entered the year of Shun, which lady is willing to enter the palace to enjoy happiness?

But why is this matter progressing so urgently? And there was no news revealed before? What is the reason for this?

In the midst of anxious waiting, a nervous voice came from outside, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The emperor got off the royal car and strode into the palace. Everyone stood up and saluted, "See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

"Let's all be exempt!" The emperor waved his hand and sat down on his dragon chair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Then the people sat down tremblingly.

Only then did the emperor say, "I invite you to the palace to participate in the banquet today, one is to celebrate the birth of the prince of the concubine, and the other is to find the daughter of Xingguo during this Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

The daughter of Xingguo?

All the people were terrified, but they did not dare to speak freely. Just waited anxiously for the emperor to speak.

The emperor didn't sell it, and said bluntly, "Someone in Qintianjian replied to me, saying that when I watched the sky at night these days, a strange woman appeared in Western Chu, and this woman can prosper in Western Chu." If you welcome into the harem of Western Chu, the Western Chu Kingdom will definitely be peaceful and prosperous. ”

As soon as the emperor's words came out, it was undoubtedly a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. Although everyone was afraid of the emperor's might, they couldn't help whispering.

The concubine said with a smile, "Your Majesty, people who don't know about Qin Tianjian said how to select that Xingguo woman?" ”

The emperor instructed the eunuchs around him, "You go and invite Li Tongtian in, and let him help me choose the daughter of Xingguo." ”

The chief eunuch should go down and do it.

A moment later, Li Tongtian, a Taoist priest from the Qin Heavenly Prison, walked in with the chief eunuch. "Weichen see the emperor, see the concubine Niangniang."

"Excuse me! I don't know how you can tell the daughter of Xingguo? The emperor asked.

Li Tongtian saluted respectfully and said, "Back to the emperor, Weichen pinched his fingers and calculated carefully, and because there was a faint purple halo around the moon last night, he calculated that the daughter of the Xingguo was wearing purple clothes today, and the rest still needed Weichen to observe his face." ”

As soon as Li Tongtian's words came out, Wen Jin subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in his hand, and even Yun Jin and Gao looked at Wen Jin for the first time.

When the emperor heard Li Tongtian's words, he looked around. I saw that three of the people present were wearing purple clothes.

The concubine said, "At today's banquet, why don't you hurry up to meet the emperor in a purple costume?" ”

Wen Jin was worried in his heart, and Chen Hui, the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion over there, had already stood up, "The second lady of the Rongguo Mansion is the second lady of the Rongguo Mansion, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Song Wanru also stood up, "Song Wanru, the eldest daughter of the courtier's Ningguo Mansion, see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Wen Jin also stood up very calmly, because she couldn't lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion. "Su Wenjin, the eldest daughter of the courtier's mansion, see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an."

After the emperor looked at them one by one, he invited the three girls to stand in the middle of the banquet, and then asked Li Tongtian to check their faces.

The three girls were not standing close, which was also what Li Tongtian meant.

Li Tongtian first went to Chen Hui, then to Song Wanru, and finally to Su Wenjin.

Wen Jin's scalp tightened, and he said in a voice that only two people could hear, "If you choose me, I won't let you have a good time." And the Queen Mother and the King of Jin both want me to be the princess of Jin. ”

Li Tongtian also replied in a voice that only two people could hear, "Originally, I wasn't sure, but now Miss's guts can be judged by the villain." ”

Wen Jin's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but be annoyed that he was self-defeating for being clever, and he pretended to be calm and glared at Li Tongtian fiercely.

Li Tongtian smiled slightly, and then replied to the emperor.
