In the Tai'an Palace, there was a voice of an old man in his sixties and seventies.

"Your Majesty, you must not. “

"Master Qiu, get up quickly. "It turns out that Qiu Yuyi, Master Qiu actually said that he was in the Tai'an Palace, just so that Qiu Yuanyuan could not attend the state banquet.

State banquet, this is a symbol of dignity, in the harem, not all concubines are eligible to attend the state banquet, I didn't expect this Lord Qiu to refuse to go to the Tai'an Palace.

"Lord Qiu, this morning, Lord Feng and Wang Lao went to the Tai'an Palace and jointly recommended Concubine Yuan, and you came this afternoon. The little eunuch beside him helped the old man to sit on the chair. Hearing Wang Cen's name, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"This, the little girl has been pampered since she was a child, not as good as a big family, at most a small family. Being able to enter the palace this time is also thanks to the ancestors who have accumulated virtue. Then you can still participate in the state banquet, isn't this a shame for Taiping?"

"Lord Qiu is serious, this concubine is not set by a widow, but the courtiers discussed together, so Lord Qiu should not shirk it. Long Xiang's face was not good-looking, and his smile had already been put away. continued: "Master Qiu returned to his hometown after illness before, and this time it is rare to come to Anyang City, so he will stay for a few more days, and the others can also visit Concubine Yuan." The widow's will is near. “

"Thank you, Emperor. Master Qiu had a sad look on his face, and he also knew that the emperor was unwilling to discuss this topic anymore, so he had to bow and withdraw from the Tai'an Palace.

In the Liufang Palace, Qiu Yuanyuan learned the news, and he was also anxious. Although she couldn't figure out the deepest reason, she could also feel that this was not good news.

Coincidentally, when Qiu Yuanyuan was restless, the prince of Wang Xi, who came from the Tai'an Palace, also appeared in the Exile Palace.

"Fengtian carrier, tomorrow's state banquet, the concubine and the widow sit at the same table, specially given ten silk and satin silk, a red pearl inlaid gold brocade robe, twelve pieces of gold jewelry, twelve pieces of silver jewelry, ten pieces of pearl, Qin this. “

"The concubine took the order. Qiu Yuanyuan took the holy decree from Wang Xi's hand, and after helping him up, Wang Xi's father-in-law arched his hand to Concubine Yuan, and said: "Concubine Yuan, hurry up and try the clothes, if this robe doesn't fit, it's good to change it early." “

"Thank you, father-in-law. Qiu Yuanyuan nodded.

Then the servant went to talk back to the emperor. After saying that, Wang Xi's father-in-law left, but this Wang Xi's father-in-law walked out of Liufang Palace with his hind feet, and this Wang Jue's front feet also arrived in Liufang Palace.

"Ouch, congratulations to my sister. "Before Wang Jue arrived, the voice arrived first. Qiu Yuanyuan tried hard to pretend that nothing had happened, smiling and pretending to be ignorant: "What kind of good thing did my sister say?"

Wang Jue smiled slightly and said, "Tomorrow, the emperor will set up a state banquet to entertain the envoys of Qilu, but my sister knows?"

"Of course I know. “

"You know, this state banquet is a royal family banquet to put it bluntly, who does the superior sister next to the emperor guess?" Wang Jue raised his eyebrows.

"Sister. Before Qiu Yuanyuan finished speaking, Wang Jue hurriedly replied.

"Of course it's my sister, whether it's a state banquet or a family banquet, being able to sit next to the emperor means that my sister's status is in the front of the harem. That's what the queen is qualified to sit in. Isn't my sister excited? But my sister didn't have anything to give, so she gave her pearl earrings. Sister, don't underestimate this pearl, this is a red pearl, Taiping only has this pair, it's a gift. After speaking, Yuchun behind Wang Jue put on a pair of earrings that shimmered pink and handed them to Qin Yin behind Qiu Yuanyuan.

"Then my sister will thank you sister. Qiu Yuanyuan blessed his body, and he didn't even look at it, so he accepted it.

At this time, Wang Jue saw that there was something just given by the emperor on the table behind him, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, giggled a few times, and said: "It turns out that my sister has received the holy decree, presumably the earrings sent by my sister are no better than your pearl-inlaid gold robe, I just hope that my sister will not dislike it." “

"Where, my sister is naturally excellent. Isn't this pearl earring just a pair of robes? Thank you sister. Qiu Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"They are both sisters who serve the emperor, so they don't need to thank them. Tomorrow's state banquet is in a hurry, my sister still prepared well, and my sister left first. By the way, this pearl is delicate, and my sister still keeps it in a cool place, otherwise it will be bad to go to the ice. Wang Jue's stool probably didn't get hot, and he stood up again.

My sister made a note of it, and my sister walked slowly. Qiu Yuanyuan watched Wang Jue leave, and his heart was even more uneasy. Wang Jue is such a conceited person, how can he bear that it is not her who is sitting next to the emperor's throne this time?

Qiu Yuanyuan always felt that this was like a trap, a trap wrapped in honey.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, Master Qiu is here. After experiencing two things, Qiu Yuanyuan heard the news that his father had come to the palace, but it was like grasping a life-saving straw, so he hurriedly invited him in.

It's just that the father and daughter are also sad, and Master Qiu is even worse.

After retiring the rest of the people, Master Qiu spoke: "Today I entered the palace and asked the emperor to resign from your position." “

"The result?"

"The emperor didn't agree, listen to the emperor's words, this time it was Lord Feng who took the lead in recommending you. Master Qiu shook his head and said, "I originally pretended to be sick and retreated, just to escape these things in Fuzhou and avoid being implicated." Unexpectedly, this retreat actually happened. “

"Daddy, isn't this Lord Feng always friendly with Elder Wang? Isn't the priest Fu not in any intersection with the priest Fu in charge of Daddy? Why did he suddenly put such a good thing on my head?" Qiu Yuanyuan expressed his previous confusion.

Lord Qiu shook his head and said, "What do you really think is a good thing? This queen is in mourning, doesn't Wang Cen want the position of this queen back? It's just that at this state banquet, Si Lifu has great power to speak, so Feng Fusi recommended you." “

"But why? Isn't it better to give it to Wang Jue?"

This is where Wang Cen is calculating. The gun shot the first bird, he didn't want Wang Jue to be this bird. It's you, if this is done well, it's fine, if it's not good, I'm afraid you'll never come out in the harem. Master Qiu sighed and said.

The same topic is unfolding in another place.

"Niangniang, the slave doesn't understand, why didn't this Wang Lao let Feng Fusi elect you to sit on that one?" Yuchun asked.

"Hmph, do you really think that seat is easy to sit in?" Wang Jue asked with a smile, it seemed that he was in a good mood.

"What does Niangniang mean? Yuchun didn't understand. Yuchun shook his head and said.

"I am afraid that there are not many people who understand this matter. This seat is covered with thorns. If you're not careful, you'll get your head bleeding. “

"Why?"

"I heard that the people of the country of Qilu are all straightforward, and if someone sends something, they must be grateful. You wait, tomorrow will know. I'm sure my uncle, too. Wang Jue smiled. "Oh yes, you'll have someone send this to your uncle later. Tomorrow, he will say that the palace is unwell, so he will not participate in the state banquet. “

"Yes, sis. Yuchun took the pearl in Wang Jue's hand, and although he didn't quite understand it, he still put it away carefully.

Yes, maybe I know my uncle best in all the years I have been with him.

Wang Cen was sitting in the pavilion by the lake at this time, and the rich green tea brewed in front of him.

It seems that Wang Cen is in a good mood, and he actually called Wang Yu to accompany him.

This is the first time for Wang Yu. Although Wang Yu was surprised, he still came over happily.

Wang Cen asked, "Wang Yu, what do you think of entering the palace today?"

Wang Yusi attached and said, "The palace is indeed gorgeous and abnormal. “

"What about the emperor?"

Wang Yu really didn't expect that Wang Cen would suddenly mention the emperor. Thinking back to the tall man who appeared in front of him today, his cheeks couldn't help but flush, and he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, too, it's also very good." “

Seeing Wang Yu's appearance, Wang Cen smiled and said, "Okay, good." Would you like to be in the company of your sister?"

Wang Yu understood, his mouth opened and closed, and he didn't know how to speak, so he could only nod shyly.

even forgot about Wang Yi's sneaking back to Fuzhou. At this time, the housekeeper also walked into the pavilion and whispered a few words to Wang Cen. With a wave of his hand, several women came up behind the housekeeper, these women were all slightly thin, Wang Yu was very familiar with them, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them. Before entering the palace, she had seen the concubines in the palace in the portraits, so as not to admit her mistakes and lose her etiquette, and the figures of these women seemed to be somewhat similar to the paintings she had seen.

Maybe Wang Cen was in a good mood, and he didn't shy away from Wang Yu's presence, and said to the housekeeper: "Yes, let them send it in the evening." He also nodded to a woman and said, "Just her." “

The housekeeper glanced at Wang Yu, nodded at Wang Cen, and walked out of the pavilion.

In the evening, what to send? Wang Yu didn't understand, and she didn't seem to plan to think deeply, because she still had in her mind the man who was completely different from Wang Yi and even the people she usually saw reading, and that man was the emperor of Taiping.

"Your Majesty, the shuttle has a letter. “

"Oh, hand it over. “

"Yes. “
