August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, as the children of the royal family, it is natural to gather in the palace to celebrate the festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival admires the moon, so the palace banquet is set in the evening.

On August 15, as soon as the sky was darkened, the crown princess and His Royal Highness the crown prince went to the palace together.

Since the former "daughter of the rejuvenation of the country" was said, the crown princess no longer wore purple clothes when she attended the palace banquet.

Even though she loves purple, she is beautiful in purple.

Half an hour ago, in Hui Yaxuan, Zhu Ye and Zhu Qing walked around in front of her with a lot of clothes, making her dazzled.

In the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince pointed to a set of crimson palace clothes and said, "That's it!" You can line it up. Today also needs to be a little more festive. ”

Zhuye raised his eyes and asked the princess what she meant, and the princess nodded slightly, "Then let's do this!" ”

After changing clothes, Zhu Qing brought a set of ruby gold jewelry head.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his head slightly and said, "The set of Dongzhu jewelry that I sent you the day before yesterday is suitable for this outfit. ”

The crown princess was surprised, "Dongzhu is precious and rare, only the queen can wear Dongzhu!" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just smiled, "You are the crown princess, so naturally you can also wear it, just that set!" ”

Zhu Qing looked at the meaning of the princess in a trance, and when she saw the princess's signal, she went to present the set of jewelry made of Dongzhu.

The preciousness of the East Pearl is not only above the pearl, but also above the South Pearl.

Because Dongzhu is only produced in cold waters, it is naturally rare.

The crown princess's makeup is indeed stunning, but after His Royal Highness the prince saw it, he just said the word "good-looking" with a smile, took the princess's hand, and got into the carriage to enter the palace.

In the Tongqing Palace, in addition to the ordinary princes and princesses, there are also some important ministers and their families.

His Royal Highness the King of Qi has arrived, and Princess Qi has arrived.

His Royal Highness King Zhuang has arrived, and Princess Zhuang has arrived.

His Royal Highness the King of Qin has arrived, and the Princess of Qin has arrived.

…………

The three most conspicuous princes of the Western Chu Kingdom arrived at the Tongqing Palace.

A quarter of an hour later, there was another sound outside.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and the Crown Princess has arrived.

Before the royal family arrives at the banquet, the court officials naturally have to be present.

So the moment the crown princess stepped into the palace, the ladies in the palace whispered.

That's really because the Dongzhu head jewelry on the princess's bun is too luxurious.

There are even some ...... Passover!

After all, only the queen mother and the queen mother can wear the east pearl. Now that the Queen Mother has passed away, naturally only the Queen Mother is qualified to wear it.

None of the others spoke, only Princess Qin said with a smile, "The Dongzhu jewelry on the princess's bun is really delicate and beautiful, and the princess is even more noble and elegant." ”

The crown princess also smiled leisurely and generously, "Princess Qin is really overrated, Princess Qin's ruby head jewelry is also extraordinary?" ”

Princess Qin chuckled, "Ruby is indeed luxurious, but no matter how luxurious it is, it is not as precious as Dongzhu." ”

Princess Zhuang also said at this time, "I see the sapphire head jewelry that the princess is wearing today, but it complements the royal blue palace dress on her body." ”

Saying that, Princess Zhuang laughed self-deprecatingly again, "All the concubines are dressed up so gorgeously, but it seems that my set of jade head jewelry is a little cheesy." ”

The crown princess smiled, "Where are you?" I heard that King Zhuang bought imperial green jadeite everywhere, presumably the set of jadeite jewelry worn by Princess Zhuang today was specially sent by His Royal Highness King Zhuang to create it, right? ”

Princess Zhuang nodded a little shyly.

Princess Qi said with a smile, "Jewelry is still secondary, His Royal Highness King Zhuang's heart for the princess is the most precious?" ”

The crown princess also smiled, "Exactly? ”

Between the words of the princesses, there was a sound outside.

The emperor arrived, the queen arrived, the concubine arrived, and the concubine arrived.

Everyone got up and saluted, "Long live the emperor, long live the queen, the queen mother is thousands of years old, the concubine is ten thousand years old, and the concubine is ten thousand blessings and Jin'an, and the concubine is ten thousand blessings and Jin'an." ”

After the emperor sat down, he said neatly and majestically, "It's all exempt!" ”

"Your Majesty."

The emperor seemed to be very happy, and said heartily, "Today is a family banquet, you don't have to be restrained." ”

"Your Majesty."

After raising a glass and drinking together, the queen raised her glass, "Your Majesty, the concubine toasts you." ”

The emperor was in a happy mood and was willing to give the queen a face, so he drank this glass of wine.

Concubine Hui followed suit, and first the concubine took a step to toast the emperor. The emperor also gave face to drink.

The concubine glanced at Concubine Hui fiercely, then raised her wine glass and said in a coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, the concubine also toasts you, you are not allowed not to drink!" ”

The emperor didn't say anything, but also gave the concubine face and drank a glass of wine.

The crown princess tasted the delicacies, but set her eyes on Xiangye's side. Mrs. Gao nodded slightly at the crown princess and smiled kindly. The crown princess is also a return.

In this way, the crown princess couldn't help but think of the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although Mrs. Gao is not a vicious person, she is not a kind and cowardly person.

I heard that since Aunt Tao gave birth to her concubine Su Wensheng, she has repeatedly disrespected the Gao family by relying on Xiangye's love for the second young master.

After Gao tolerated it twice, he grounded Aunt Tao.

This Aunt Tao thought that Xiang Ye would let her out, but who knew that after Xiang Ye heard about this, he only said that the affairs of the family were all up to Mrs.

After this incident, Aunt Tao suffered a loss and no longer dared to provoke trouble. So the prime minister's house was stable for a few days.

The crown princess was about to drink a glass of wine, but she heard the queen mother say, "The jewelry that the crown princess is wearing today is really brilliant!" ”

The crown princess smiled slightly, without the slightest panic, and said calmly, "Thank you for the queen's praise." ”

Because of the queen's words, the emperor also looked at it, and asked with a heavy face, "The crown princess is wearing it, but Dongzhu?" ”

The crown princess was about to answer, but His Royal Highness the crown prince was the first to say, "This Dongzhu was specially sent by the retainer to the north to find it." Dongzhu is only produced in the cold river, and it took half a year for Erchen to collect such a set of jewelry. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was silent at first, so that everyone was frightened and silent.

After a while, the emperor turned to laugh again, "I remember that there is still a box of Dongzhu in the treasury of the Internal Affairs Office, the queen is thrifty, and she has not been willing to use it, and when the banquet is over, the queen will send someone to find it and reward it to the crown princess!" ”

The queen said with a gentle and virtuous smile, "Yes, the concubine thinks that it is very suitable for this Dongzhu to be rewarded to the crown princess." ”

"The concubine remembered that there were still a few small boxes of Nanzhu in the Internal Affairs Mansion, and although Nanzhu was not as precious and rare, it was also a precious thing. The emperor might as well give a grace to the princesses! The queen smiled softly.

The emperor thought about it, and said generously, "It's okay." The queen is virtuous, and when the tribute Dongzhu comes up, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to create a set of jewelry for the queen. ”

The queen mother smiled flatteredly, "The concubine thanks the emperor for his grace." It's just that the concubines don't like luxury, so it's better to reward them to other sisters! ”

The emperor said, "The queen is the queen of the middle palace, and the crown princess is the wife of the prince, you two can wear Dongzhu, but if others wear it, it will inevitably exceed the ancestral rank." ”

The queen's face immediately changed, and she said seriously, "Yes, the concubine has been taught." ”

At the next banquet, the queen mother kept a smile on her face, but the noble concubine could not maintain the smile on her face.

The emperor will give face to the queen and be considerate to Concubine Hui, but he doesn't want to look at the concubine.

The concubine couldn't help but wonder if her heart was empty, could it be that the emperor found out what she had done?

It shouldn't be! That thing was done secretly, and Song Guozhong had already left the Western Chu Kingdom.

The courtiers of Western Chu and their families were all trembling, quietly watching the secret competition between the people in the royal family.

Seeing that the emperor not only blamed the prince for the transgression, but also rewarded the crown princess Dongzhu, he felt a little clear in his heart.

During the banquet, the emperor also used the elixir offered by the witch doctor of the southern Xinjiang country.

Everyone present secretly sighed that the emperor didn't care for his body, but no one dared to say it.

Only the crown prince asked in a loud voice, "Dare to ask the witch doctor, what is the effect of this elixir?" ”

The witch doctor obviously didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to suddenly ask such a question, so he replied, "This elixir can strengthen the body and prolong life. It's a rare thing. ”

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard this, he sneered, "How many pieces can a witch doctor make in a day?" ”

The witch doctor seemed a little embarrassed and said, "I only get one a day." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled when he heard this, "This elixir, does it really have such an effect?" ”

The witch doctor said confidently, "That's nature, this elixir can prolong life." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned to ask, "Is there a witch doctor in the Southern Frontier Country who is not much different from the witch doctor's spell?" ”

Although the witch doctor didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked such a question, he still replied, "There are many people in the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom who are more skilled than villains. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sneered when he heard this, and when everyone was puzzled, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly asked, "Then why did the first emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom pass away when he was just a fairy when he knew the destiny of heaven?" ”

"Could it be that the first emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom did not take the elixir of the witch doctor? Or is it that the elixir of the witch doctor in the southern Xinjiang country is useless at all? ”

His Royal Highness the Prince's words can be described as-for-tat.

The witch doctor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom panicked for a while, "This ...... This...... The emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom should not have taken the pill! ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sneered, "Since the pill is effective, why didn't the Emperor of the Southern Frontier Kingdom use it?" Could it be that the former emperor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom could not believe in the witchcraft of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom? ”

The witch doctor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom was speechless when asked by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was speechless.

When everyone in the Western Chu Kingdom saw this scene, they all felt that it was too exciting. They have long been tired of this self-righteous and god-chattering sorcerer of the Southern Frontier Country.

The emperor also heard that something was wrong, but he trusted the witch doctor of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom after all. Therefore, he only ordered the witch doctor of the southern Xinjiang country to withdraw from the banquet first.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saluted and said, "Please also ask my father to take good care of his health." ”

The emperor was silent for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice, "What the prince said, I remember it in my heart." Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is also a family feast, so don't be restrained and enjoy yourself. ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone saluted the emperor again and thanked him.
