Zhan Xinglan thought wildly, and suddenly there was a commotion beside him.

"Concubine He, today is the queen mother's birthday banquet, this palace will not conflict with you, you don't have to take an inch."

Ke Wanning saw Fu Xuanlin and Zhan Xinglan together, and she was already annoyed.

Coupled with He Fuyan's pestering Fu Tingxuan to laugh and whisper, the noise was endless, and her anger could no longer be suppressed.

He Fuyan looked at Ke Wanning coldly, but saw Fu Xuanlin along her face, so she instantly understood everything.

"I'm afraid that the crown princess doesn't want to see it today, so I'm so angry, and the concubine body is not here to annoy the princess."

She got up and deliberately glanced at Zhan Xinglan, and then sat down beside Xi Li'er with a smile.

The speaker has a heart, and the listener has a heart.

Fu Tingxuan knew that Ke Wanning's heart was not in him, but no matter what, Ke Wanning was his woman.

He would never allow his woman to have someone else in her mind.

Especially that person is still Fu Xuanlin!

Fu Tingxuan said with a gloomy face, "If the crown princess is in a bad mood, you can go back to Chongren Palace, no one begs you to be here."

Ke Wanning gritted her teeth and wanted to leave the table angrily, but suddenly remembered that Ke Jingfeng had warned her in the letter that she could endure it.

For the sake of the overall situation, she had to suppress her anger and said in a low voice: "The concubine is out of shape for a while, please forgive your highness."

He Fuyan smiled when she heard all this.

Although she is not as favored as Xi Li'er, she knows Fu Tingxuan better than Ke Wanning.

Zhan Xinglan listened carefully to their conversation.

raised his willow eyebrows, lowered his voice and said to himself: "Sure enough, it is three women in one play, plus the queen is a pillar, this East Palace is really lively."

After a while, Emperor Jing and Empress Yue arrived.

Today, Empress Yue was full of energy, and the corners of her mouth were never lowered.

But Emperor Jing looked haggard, looking like he hadn't slept well for several days.

Zhan Xinglan looked at the couple and couldn't help but feel sad.

Two people who don't love each other are together, and it's a kind of torture for each other.

However, it is clear that Emperor Jing is the more tormented side.

After the people had bowed, they began to offer.

Fu Tingxuan and Ke Wanning both got up and walked to the center of the main hall.

"Sons and daughters-in-law wish their mothers, phoenixes are healthy, and cranes speak in spring and autumn."

After a while, the two yellow gates walked in carrying a half-human-tall statue of the Fallen Ice Jade Guanyin.

The texture of the ice jade is transparent, pure white and warm, Guanyin's demeanor is solemn and graceful, lifelike, with his hands folded and his posture dignified.

The two complement each other, luxurious but unassuming, low-key but dazzling.

Everyone present was amazed.

Ke Wanning Yingying bowed, and said word by word according to the lines that Ke Jingfeng had prepared for her in advance: "After returning to her mother, her daughter-in-law has sent this Guanyin statue to Chongyin Temple to ask the host to consecrate her incense, and I hope that the queen mother likes it."

Empress Yue likes this kind of precious thing that shows her mother's honor the world, and Fu Tingxuan and Ke Wanning have earned her enough face now.

As soon as she was happy, she actually showed a motherly smile to Ke Wanning.

"Okay, my son and the crown princess have a heart. Come, carry Guanyin to the dormitory, and set up a Buddhist shrine so that I can worship every day."

Ke Jingfeng, who was sitting on the side, nodded slightly towards Ke Wanning, indicating that she was doing well.

Fu Tingxuan and Ke Wanning retreated side by side, and on the way back to their seats, Fu Tingxuan took Ke Wanning in his arms rarely.

This normal behavior between husband and wife has a different meaning in the eyes of others.

Ke Jingfeng frowned and couldn't help but look at Fu Xuanlin.

Who knew that Fu Xuanlin had a cold face and showed him a gloomy and incomprehensible smile. Z.br>

Ke Jingfeng's heart sank, and he smiled stiffly.

Next is Fu Rinxu's gift.

It is a picture of Danqing, pine crane longevity.

He was just a foil in this birthday banquet, and Empress Yue didn't take him seriously, and she didn't even look at the congratulatory gifts he gave.

Empress Yue coughed lightly twice, and smiled disdainfully, "In the end, King Jian is thrifty, it took a lot of effort to bring this gift." Haha, but King Jian also has a heart, and the queen mother likes it very much. Somebody, take it down."

Empress Yue secretly said that she didn't like this painting, which undoubtedly made Fu Rinxu unable to get off the stage in public.

And the people who watched the play ridiculed Fu Rinxu for being shabby and stingy, and some sneered at Fu Rinxu.

In short, I don't look down on King Jane very much.

After all, if there is such an elder brother, how good can it be to be a younger brother.

In the face of everyone's accusations and ridicule, Fu Rinxu's expression was calm, he had no intention of currying favor with Empress Yue and those who laughed at him, what was he sad about.

Fu Rinxu arched his hand and said calmly, "Retreat there first."

"Wait!"

Emperor Jing's deep voice sounded, calling out Fu Rinxu.

"Xu'er, did you do this Danqing yourself?"

"Back to my father, exactly."

"The pen is vigorous and skillful, like flowing clouds and flowing water. Xu'er is really getting better and better, this Danqing, if the queen doesn't like it, then give it to me."

Before Empress Yue could react, Emperor Jing had already waved his hand and asked Kou Huai to personally take the danqing.

"This painting can simply compete with the famous painting of the Danqing Holy Hand, Kou Huai, you can let people hang this picture of the pine crane in the Zichen Palace."

"The old slave obeys."

When Emperor Jing did this, he slapped Empress Yue in the face and supported Fu Rinxu.

And those who were sneering at Fu Rinxu instantly shut up and didn't speak, they thought that the queen could hold a birthday banquet means that His Majesty's heart is now towards the queen, so they echoed it.

But they forgot one thing.

The prince will always be the prince, as long as he does not make a heinous mistake, Emperor Jing will always be towards his son.

This was the case with King Ling in the past, and so is King Jian today.

Only Fu Rinxu knew that Emperor Jing protected him, and part of the reason was because Emperor Jing owed something in his heart.

Empress Yue was slapped in the face, and her mood fell from the sky to the ground at once.

By the time she came back to her senses, Fu Xuanlin and Zhan Xinglan were already standing in the center of the main hall.

"Sons and daughters-in-law wish the queen mother nine such ode to happiness and longevity."

At this time, the two yellow doors also carried congratulatory gifts into the hall.

A phoenix wears a peony mica screen.

The screen made of mica is as translucent as ice, but not as thin as a cicada's wings, so that people can see things behind the screen at a glance.

Although mica screens are precious, they are not rare and rare objects.

The most special thing about this congratulatory gift is the screen frame made of the pattern of the phoenix wearing the peony.

The phoenix wraps the upper part of the entire mica screen, while the lower part is surrounded by blooming peony flowers, and the flexible mica and the steady sandalwood complement each other, which is chic and elegant.

Such an ingenious idea is unique in the entire Shuhan country.

Who knew that when Empress Yue saw such a beautiful screen, she was not as happy or indifferent as Zhan Xinglan imagined, but her eyes were wide and her brows were frowned, and her bright red and slender nails were even embedded in the flesh of her palm.

However, not only Empress Yue, but everyone present was also shocked.

Zhan Nanjing and Ye Yunyu couldn't help but glance at each other, and when Zhan Xinglan looked at them suspiciously, they looked at her frantically.

Zhan Xinglan didn't know why, and thought: Even if this screen is not priceless, it is also a good thing, so it won't be so unreachable.

"King Ling, Princess Ling, are you going to humiliate the queen mother in public?"

Ke Wanning's words broke the silence in the Lin De Palace.

"Why did the crown princess say that?"

"Mother backwards

I don't like peonies, but you just sent such a thing to the queen mother, do you want to slap the queen mother in the face?"

Don't like peonies? Peony......

Zhan Xinglan instantly understood why everyone looked like they were facing a great enemy.

At that time, Emperor Jing led his troops against the former dynasty, and after being ambushed and wounded, he hid in a place called Peony Village.

It was here that Emperor Jing met Empress Yue.

Empress Yue was born in this poor and remote place, and she had never seen such a heroic and handsome Lang Jun as Emperor Jing.

So he took him back to his home and took care of him day and night.

Later, Emperor Jing recovered and was about to leave Peony Village, but who knew that Empress Yue was crying and not allowing him to go.

What to say, the people in the village said that she had no matchmaker with Emperor Jing, she was an unchaste and unclean little lady, and no one would marry her in the future.

Although Emperor Jing didn't like her, he was grateful that she had saved his life and was bullied for no reason, so he promised that she would definitely come back to marry her.

Two years later, Emperor Jing overthrew the previous dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor, and kept his oath to marry her.

Empress Yue was naturally happy and blossomed, but the courtiers and the people had a lot of complaints about her and resolutely opposed her being the queen.

At that time, when Emperor Jing first ascended to the throne, what he needed most was the support of the nobles of the previous dynasty.

So Empress Yue sent her young sister to the Anguo Mansion.

Because of this, Empress Yue won the support of An Guogong and other nobles, and sat firmly on the throne of the queen.

The poor village girl once became a queen above ten thousand people under one person, and the peony village that gave birth to her and raised her became a place that humiliated her.

In order to completely get rid of the shame brought to her by Peony Village, she bribed the killer to completely raze Peony Village to the ground.

Those villagers and neighbors who lived in Peony Village all died quietly under the cold knife overnight.

After the blood flowed like a river, Peony Village has forever become an untraceable past.

Since then, no one has dared to mention Empress Yue's origins.

Even the jewelry and clothes she used, and the flowers and plants planted in the palace, there was no trace of peonies.

Empress Yue asked with a pale face, "This screen must have been prepared by Princess Ling."

"After returning to my mother, this screen was prepared, and Princess Ling didn't know what the congratulatory gift looked like. I didn't notice it for a while, I got the wrong pattern of the screen, and asked the queen mother to calm her anger."

Fu Rinxu knew that Empress Yue hated peony the most, so he took the lead in Zhan Xinglan and admitted the responsibility for the mistake in preparing the congratulatory gift.

Ke Wanning sneered, "It is the princess's duty to prepare congratulatory gifts, why bother King Ling to prepare? It seems that Princess Ling doesn't have to worry about anything in the palace for a long time."

Zhan Xinglan glanced at Ke Wanning, stepped forward and said, "After returning to my mother, this congratulatory gift is indeed prepared by my daughter-in-law, and the annual shopkeeper of Que Ping Pavilion can prove it for my daughter-in-law."

If it is Fu Xuanlin, Empress Yue will have to look at Emperor Jing's face and endure it.

But if it is Zhan Xinglan, Empress Yue doesn't have to endure it.

"Someone! Invite Princess Ling out!"

"I'll see who dares!"

Fu Xuanlin domineeringly protected Zhan Xinglan behind him.

He looked at Empress Yue with angry eyebrows, completely devoid of Fang Cai's respectful and modesty.
