After getting off the carriage, I walked into the second palace gate, then walked through a long corridor, and after the third palace gate was the real palace interior.

Today is the queen's birthday Xiao Yan, the banquet is set in the queen's Fenghe Palace, there are special palace people to lead the way, all the way around the imperial garden to the Fenghe Palace.

Maybe I came late, but I didn't meet anyone, but seeing that I was about to go, a shadow came suddenly, that snow-white body with a fairy aura, who is not Princess Ninghua?

At this time, Princess Ninghua came here without being at the banquet, and looking at her pace, the goal was clear, obviously coming for Xiao Junsu.

Mu Jiu just got in the mood to watch a good show, and then her hand was held, the smile froze at the corner of her mouth, and she had a not very good feeling, she twitched her hand, but she didn't twitch, but was held tightly by him.

Xiao Junshu lowered his head slightly, his voice was not ambiguous, but with a bit of threat: "Ben Hou didn't go to catch Lan You, now is the time for you to repay Ben Hou's great kindness, wait a little and cooperate." ”

....... "You are obviously taking advantage of me."

"Dingbei Hou."

But in a moment, Princess Ninghua had already stepped closer, and there was no ethereal ethereal in her eyes, only a raging anger, and she asked sharply: "Who is this woman?" ”

Xiao Junshu grabbed Mu Jiu's hand and pulled her to the side a little: "Doesn't Her Royal Highness the Princess know?" Miss Mu Jiajiu, Ben Hou's favorite concubine. ”

Love concubine...?!

Mu Jiu silently shook the goosebumps on his arms, took a step back and stood behind Xiao Junshu with low eyebrows, facing this kind of jealous woman, the matter of charging into battle let Xiao Junshu go, she always felt that his lethality was much greater than hers.

Princess Ninghua's face turned pale in an instant, and she couldn't believe what she heard, Xiao Junshu was such an indifferent and ruthless person on weekdays, at this moment he was openly holding a woman's hand, and he was still speaking in such a tone, it was unimaginable, but the hatred was even stronger, and he went towards Mu Jiu.

"It's time to enter Yan, Ben Hou will take the first step."

Xiao Junshu took Mu Jiu's hand and turned around and walked to the side, the road was very wide, but he still had to walk past Princess Ninghua's side.

"Xiao Junshu, do you think that you can refuse this palace by pretending to favor a woman who is not indiscriminate?"

Princess Ninghua's anger implied threat and killing intent, but Xiao Junshu didn't even pause, leading Mu Jiu to stride away.

The banquet is divided into two sides, one side is the courtiers, the other side is the concubines in the palace, the middle is separated by a two-meter-high screen, and the top is the throne of the Chu Emperor and the queen, on both sides are the positions of several princes, the princess's seat is on the side of the concubine, sitting next to her mother, but the concubines who can come out of the banquet are only Li Guifei, Xian Fei and Zhuang Concubine Niangniang.

The queen mother is 42 years old, not a whole life, just Xiao Yan, there are not many people at the banquet, they are all courtiers and their wives above the second grade, so the position is very loose.

On a table, the husband and wife sit together, with melons and fruits in front of them.

Xiao Junshu is very noble as the Marquis of Dingbei, but before this, there are also royal relatives such as King Guangwen, Lin Taifu, Wei Taishi, Su Guogong, etc., although his position is in the front, but they are all ranked behind, and there is just a pillar behind him, Mu Jiu leaned back on the pillar, leaning lazily.

There were a lot of melons and fruits on the table, especially a whole butterfly of pine nuts, but the pine nut shell was too hard, it was too hard to eat, and she cut her hands, so she ate a few and rested, it was too difficult.

Prime Minister Mu Cheng, as the prime minister, was naturally among the invites, and with the eldest lady, the two also saw Mu Jiu, and there seemed to be a lot of things in their eyes that they wanted to ask, but Mu Jiu didn't pay attention to them.

Xiahou Jin was naturally there, but she sat upright with a serious look, and she didn't dare to look this way.

"The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived."

A group of people got up in an uproar and bowed down: "Welcome to the holy car." ”

The emperor and queen walked hand in hand to the throne and sat down: "All the ministers are flat and give the seat." ”

"Your Majesty."

Everyone sat down, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not, and when the Crown Princess came over to him side by side, the two stepped forward and knelt on their knees: "Erchen wishes the queen mother a birthday, a long life, and a long life, and specially prepared a gift." ”

The queen looked at her son and squinted with a smile: "The prince has a heart." ”

The guard presented a gift box and opened it, and inside was a pair of Fushou Arowana pendants, and the jade pendants were crystal green.

The prince took the box above to the side, and there was a box below, which was opened, and it was the same Arowana pendant, the only difference was that Keiko's color was bright yellow, and a coral bead fell.

The prince smiled embarrassedly: "This is the son of the minister in his spare time with the jade carving master to learn, carved jade needs to be carefully crafted, can make people calm and cultivate, whenever the son of the minister encounters a problem that can not be handled, he likes to carve it by himself, this is the son of the minister personally carved jade pendant, Yingluo is tactful, I hope the father and the queen mother do not dislike." ”

Emperor Chu picked up the jade pendant and looked left and right, it was carved very finely, but if you look closely, you can still see some differences in technique: "It's rare that the prince has this patience, not bad." ”

The queen saw her son being praised, and she was happier than when she got the gift: "As the crown prince, you need to be more patient to be calm, your father praises you, and you have to work hard in the future." ”

The prince hurriedly bowed his hand, extremely respectful: "The son respectfully obeys the teachings of his father." ”

Sycophants.

The fourth prince sneered in his heart, glanced at the third prince, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the third emperor brother has prepared any valuable gifts, otherwise the crown prince will take all the colorful heads today." ”

The third prince looked at him coldly, and his bad mood was all written on his face.

The fourth prince was happy when he saw that he was in a bad mood, but he knew that the third prince didn't know which god he had offended, and his wings had been cut a lot in the past few days, and he was in a hurry.

After the prince's gift, it was the celebrant who sang the salute: "King Guangwen, a jade screen, Lin Taifu, a pair of tourmaline Ruyi, Wei Taishi, a red blood coral, Su Guogong, a box of Dongzhu ......."

The queen mother is still young, not to the queen mother like everyone has to respect the grade, the number of rites can not be too good, so do not need everyone to come up one by one to give gifts, the gift at the door will be received by the celebrant officer, sing the salute again, and then wish the queen mother a birthday.

After a while, Mu Jiu was drowsy when she heard it, and suddenly someone knocked on the table in front of her, she immediately woke up and looked over, and then a plate was pushed in front of her.

A plate of pine nuts, peeled.

Mu Jiu looked at the hand, and only saw Xiao Junshu's side face, but the pile of pine nuts in front of him clearly proved that this was indeed peeled by him.

How boring is he to peel pine nuts alone? Doesn't your hand hurt?

Is this a bribe for her?

It's late, my fault, I'm sorry!
