In fact, the queen's birthday banquet, more people should have come to invite An Heshou, but the concubines with high status all wanted to attend at night, because they could meet the emperor at night, so hot characters like Concubine Ning, Wang Guifei, Ye Zhaoyi, and Liu Jieyu disdained to come so early, after all, the relationship between the queen and the emperor was weak, and they had long been overwhelmed by Concubine Ning and others, so these are those concubines who usually don't see the emperor, but want to tie up with the queen, just like Yao Meiren and Li Meiren.

"Queen Mother, this is a little bit of the heart of the courtiers and the prince, please accept it, I wish the Queen Mother a phoenix health and blessing the world." Saying that, Ye Anran raised the wooden box in his hand.

The queen mother's personal palace maid carefully took the box and handed it to the queen mother, and the queen Shen Bilan opened the wooden box little by little with her slender nails, and her face was cloudy in an instant.

She never thought that Ye Anran would give her a pair of earrings...... I don't know what kind of psychology these earrings come from, but in short, they all touched Shen Bilan's heart.

"Queen Mother, you gave the courtiers a pair of eight-treasure earrings, which are very beautiful, but the courtiers feel ashamed for their lack of merit, so this time they also deliberately chose a pair of earrings made of the East China Sea Bright Moon Pearl to give to the mother, which can be regarded as thanking the mother for the reward last time." In fact, Ye Anran thought relatively simply, he had accepted gifts from the queen before, so he took the opportunity to return the favor this time, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the queen in the future.

After all, the queen mother used to be her husband's old lover, and she was too close to her, so it was inevitable that people would gossip.

But Ye Anran didn't know what a catastrophe this move had brought to him, the sender had no intention, and the receiver had a heart.

"Ah, these earrings are beautiful, I like them very much, thank you princess for the gift." At some point, the queen put away her complicated face and smiled.

"Niangniang is welcome, this is what a courtier should do."

"Is this gift also what the prince meant?" The queen stared at Ye Anran motionless and asked.

"This ...... It's not what the prince means, the prince is not in the house, so he can only be handed over to the courtiers to take care of, and please don't blame the mother. Ye Anran told the truth.

The queen seemed to be relieved after hearing this, and then said: "Ah, it's okay, the palace won't blame, since it's noon, then the princess will stay and eat together. ”

Without waiting for Ye Anran to refuse, the queen began to order the food to be served, which made Ye Anran, who had planned to leave after giving the gift, forcibly endure the words that he was about to blurt out.

"Okay, thank you, Niang." Ye Anran said in a low voice.

At this time, the wives of the three officials, I don't know which one opened their mouths and said slowly: "Princess Ryan, you and the prince have also been married for three months, right?" I don't know if I can be happy? ”

Ye Anran's face turned slightly red, and then he replied in a low voice: "Not yet." ”

"Oh, that's the case, there has been a rumor circulating among the people, and I don't know if it's true, and the courtiers also want to know about it, so I took the liberty of asking Niangniang, I heard that the prince hasn't had a round house with Niangniang, but is it true?" The lady seemed to go too far and ask such a question.

Ye Anran bit his lip tightly, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"This is a matter between our husband and wife, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to tell others, right?" Ye Anran was helpless, so he was only perfunctory.

"Huh, huh? I think the princess is avoiding this topic, right? Anyway, who doesn't know that King Ryan doesn't like beautiful women, so the princess is really unlucky, and she has to keep the empty room alone, it's a pity that this beautiful face is captivating. The lady seemed to want to hold on to this topic, deliberately embarrassing Ye Anran.

At this time, the queen smiled: "Don't talk about Mrs. Zhao, Princess Ryan is already pitiful enough, besides, these are not something she can control, after all, it was given by the emperor, Princess Ryan, don't take those words to heart just now, Mrs. Zhao is also unintentional." ”

Looking at the queen's smile, Ye Anran suddenly felt that the smile was extremely hypocritical, dare to love that the queen and Mrs. Zhao are singing black face and red face, what is the warning to themselves on the side?

But...... Is there really a must?

"Yes, the courtiers follow the teachings of the mother." Ye Anran didn't refute, but he just felt that there were many places where there were many women, and these so-called noblewomen in the capital had long looked down on her, a woman from a civilian background, so it was normal to be embarrassed intentionally.

"It's okay, let's continue to eat at the bar." When the queen arrived, she greeted everyone with a calm smile.

But Ye Anran couldn't sit still anymore, so he got up and said goodbye: "Queen Mother, the courtiers have been out for a long time, the prince has been out of the house for a few days, and there are still some trivial matters in the house that need to be dealt with, so I will stay for a short time and retire first." ”

The queen held the wine glass and glanced at Ye Anran lightly, then nodded: "Okay, since Princess Ruian still has something to do, then it is inconvenient for the palace to stay longer, so let's go." ”

Ye Anran got up and left after bowing, and walked out of the gate of Jiuhua Palace, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, she just wanted to go back home directly, but she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.

It's a bit reluctant to say that they are acquaintances, because they don't count, but it's not appropriate to say that they are strangers, because they have met.

"Moon Princess, is it such a coincidence?" Seeing Xigong Yue dressed in black tulle, Ye Anran greeted him first.

"Why, you came to congratulate the queen on her birthday so early?" Nishinomiya Yue didn't seem to have a very friendly tone.

Ye Anran smiled a little reluctantly, but still nodded: "Well, the prince has recently gone south, so there are still many things in the palace, and I can only come over early, and I didn't have a chance to attend the dinner." ”

"Heh, it's not necessary for you to try so hard to please the queen, no matter what you do, she won't like you, will you?" Xigong Yue turned white, Ye Anran glanced at it and said with some contempt.

"Moon Princess, I don't understand what you're talking about?" Ye Anran didn't expect Xigong Yue to say such ugly words, so he also showed a trace of displeasure on his face.

Xigong Yue sneered: "Everyone is a smart person, why pretend to be confused, the queen used to be old lovers with Xigong Jue, even if she is now the queen, but there is still no love left, so no matter how you please her, she will definitely not be treated, why should you ask for hardship?" Do you commoner-born women like to stammer so much? It may be important for you to cling to the powerful, but who do you want to be interested in? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? ”

Xigong Yue's words were not polite at all, Ye Anran could hear the number of them in a daze, but she didn't expect her to say it so explicitly, you must know that the relationship between Queen Shen Bilan and Xigong Jue is a taboo in the palace, and it is not allowed to be mentioned, especially on the side of Empress Dowager He, if someone is caught saying this, I am afraid that she will not let it go easily.

But Xigong Yue may be hindered by her identity as a princess, so she dares to make a big statement? But does she mean any of that?
