The Empress's proposal was unexpected by the Emperor.

He also thought that the queen wanted to punish Princess Huairou heavily, or attack Concubine Lian.

Counseling family affairs –

Huairou is about to meet after the Mid-Autumn Festival, if it weren't for his love for this little daughter, it stands to reason that he should have decided on the candidate for the horse.

Although the queen's proposal is vindictive, as the mother of a country, it is understandable to worry about the princess's marriage.

Moreover, in the past six months, Huairou's actions have really disappointed him.

He will inevitably think that Concubine Lian is instigating behind her back, or that the four princes are arrogant and indulge Huairou.

The emperor took a deep look at the empress and said lightly: "The empress will calm down first." ”

"If Your Majesty does not agree to the concubine's request today, the concubine will not be able to kneel for a long time." The queen insisted on her original intention, staring indifferently at the floor of the imperial study.

"Hey." The Emperor sighed lightly, walked around the table to the Empress, and helped the man up.

"The queen is also well-intentioned, how can I not agree? I knew that the Empress was thinking about Ember, and I knew that the Empress had done her best to come up with this solution—"

Suddenly, the emperor's eyes flickered slightly, and a thought came to his heart-

The more he thought about this idea, the more he felt that it was a foolproof strategy, and said to the queen again: "In a few days, there will be a Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, and there will be many sons of the family entering the palace. ”

"The concubine thanked Your Majesty!"

There was a flash of triumphant joy on the queen's slightly drooping countenance.

……

In the thirty-first year of the Qi Kingdom, the people of Kyoto were healthy, but the people in Yuzhou were not happy.

Under the deployment of the emperor and Xie Yunyan, after removing the last minions of the Wang faction on the list, the emperor ordered Lin Shuanghe, a general of Zhengshipin Guangwei stationed on the Khitan border, to take Yuzhou with an army of 80,000.

The smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, the lives were devastated, and the forces of the king of inquiry were missing a warlike Zhang Junshou, and they were always defeated and retreated.

Kyoto, on the other hand, also ushered in the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.

Xie Yunyan entered the palace early, and Ning Shu went to Yikun Palace with the Duchess of Guo to visit the queen mother before coming to the Taihe Hall to sit down.

The Mid-Autumn Festival feast is shared by men and women, but they sit separately.

After Ning Shu sat down, she also saw Mrs. Ning with the Feng family, followed by Ning Jiao, who had not been seen for a long time.

Ning Jiao saw this level of palace banquet for the first time, but she was dressed in a decent manner, not seeking to stand out from the crowd, and she couldn't find any fault with the tongue.

Xu is Ning Shu's gaze was too sharp, Ning Jiao looked up unnaturally in the direction of her gaze, and saw Ning Shu don't turn her head to talk to the Duchess of Guo.

She secretly gritted her teeth.

Ning Shu, wait! Soon your eyes will be hanging when you see me!

Thinking like this, a sense of comfort flowed through her heart, and she cautiously looked around, a figure of a man in a dark red court dress always shines the most in the crowd, which makes people have to pay attention.

Gathering her thoughts, Ning Jiao glanced at the four princes sitting at the front again, and her cheeks were covered with a touch of crimson.

The fourth prince is also good, he is noble-born, and his appearance is also handsome.

can be his side concubine, no matter what the reason behind it, she has no regrets in this life.

Ning Shu was talking and laughing with the Duchess of the Kingdom, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure that she would never forget in her life.

Wu Tan, who was dressed in light gauze and white, accompanied by the Great Elder, also walked into the Taihe Palace.

When she passed by, there was a burst of discussion around her.

The fourth prince was talking with the third prince with a smile, and both of them tacitly agreed not to go to see Wu Tan.

The Seventh Prince was silently sipping tea on the side, and under his calm expression, his blood was boiling, and his body was trembling slightly.

Xie Yunyan unconsciously gently pushed the Seventh Prince with his elbow, and the Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment, but when he looked up, he saw Xie Yunyan's light smile.

He withdrew his gaze and shook his head with a wry smile.

Still too concerned.

In the huge Taihe Palace, the seats are full,

After everyone sat down, with the voice of Gonggong Su: "The emperor and queen have arrived-"

The noisy Taihe Hall fell silent.

Everyone stood up and respectfully saluted the emperor and queen who walked slowly.

After the emperor and queen sat firmly on the high platform, the grand Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet also officially kicked off.

More than half of the palace banquet is in full swing.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the queen proposed to let the noble ladies of the family cheer up the palace banquet.

This is also a major attraction of the palace banquet over the years.

Officials of the fifth rank and above in Kyoto would bring their families to the banquet, and many families took this opportunity to find out the heirs of the right age and tie the knot.

In addition, now there are two princes in the middle of the prince, and the backyard is vacant, and many women from the family will certainly not let go of this opportunity.

The first one to appear on the stage, to Ning Shu's surprise, turned out to be Lian Yuyao, the daughter of Lian Shangshu.

Her performance is gorgeous.

In front of the high platform of the emperor and empress, a screen was placed more than one person high.

Brush in hand, dance and draw.

The graceful figure constantly rotates in the center of the main hall, and the paintbrush in his hand also adds color to the screen from time to time.

Bringing out one alone is admirable enough, not only does it not have any sense of disobedience when it is combined into one, but the action of painting is also perfectly connected with the action of dancing, which is incredibly beautiful.

Ning Shu couldn't help but sigh lightly.

The Duchess of the Kingdom snorted on the side, rolled her eyelids, and said softly: "The girl of the Lian family doesn't know that she is from the Fourth Highness, and she still performs with great fanfare, wasting everyone's time!" ”

Ning Shu smiled silently.

Even Yuyao's appearance is not outstanding enough, but she is also delicate.

Coupled with the relationship between Lian Shangshu and Concubine Lian, it was naturally expected that she could become the fourth princess of the inner decision.

Unexpectedly, why did the fourth prince delay marrying her?

Instead, the news that Naning Jiao was the side concubine was exposed first?

After the dance, even Yu Yao's painting was finished.

"Good!"

The emperor applauded, and the queen was impeccable to even Yuyao's performance.

After rewarding some lottery heads, Lian Yuyao respectfully withdrew.

At the same time as she turned around, she glanced at Ning Jiao who was sitting in the corner defiantly.

Ning Jiao also felt her provocation, but she could only hang her head silently.

An invisible turbulent wave flowed wantonly in the Taihe Palace.

Ning Shu ate the food on the table with great interest, and her eyes accidentally bumped into the handsome and extraordinary face opposite, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Even after Yuyao, there is no outstanding talent.

Lian Shangshu glanced at the daughter on the women's seat smugly, and then turned his target to the Miaojiang Holy Maiden opposite.

He raised his glass and smiled at Wu Tan and said, "My woman in Qi Kingdom advocates the six arts, I wonder if the Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang can let me wait to see and see some exotic elegance?" ”

The corners of the four princes' lips were slightly hooked, and for the first time, he raised his eyelids to look at the Miao Jiang people opposite, and looked at Wu Tan with great meaning.

Wu Tan's jade hand hidden under the table was clenched into a fist, suddenly relaxed, slowly got up and bowed to Lian Shangshu first, and then said to the emperor on the high platform: "The little girl is not talented, and she is ugly." ”
