Among the three princes, King Qi looked honest and loyal, toasted the Queen Mother, and retired after saying a birthday message.

King Ning is humorous and can speak well, and the Queen Mother who said a few toasts smiled happily.

King Mu may be caused by a foot disease, he is relatively dull and silent, and after the toast, he said a word to wish the Queen Mother a happy and long life, and there is nothing else to say. The Queen Mother also knew his temperament, smiled and cared for him for a few words and let him go down and sit.

Seeing that King Mu went down, the prince should have taken his two younger sisters to congratulate his grandmother on her birthday, but the prince was looking left and right in his seat, and he didn't know what to look at anymore.

The two princesses had already gotten up, and he didn't react, but the little eunuch behind him reminded him again and again before he remembered what he was going to do, and hurriedly got up and took the eldest princess and the second princess to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday.

Fortunately, he memorized the birthday speech well enough, and there was no mistake in the subsequent birthday celebrations.

The emperor's face looked a little better, and the queen was also relieved.

Lu Yuning shook his head slightly in his heart, the prince is already six years old this year, but his actions are indeed not smart.

Fortunately, there is only one prince in the palace now, otherwise, ......

But what does that have to do with her? She didn't plan to give birth anyway.

At the birthday banquet later, Lu Yuning didn't look around, just focused on the dishes in front of her and the songs and dances in the field.

Luo Chengjing looked at Lu Yuning several times, and saw that she was eating there with her head down.

The banquet lasted for more than two hours, and when it was dispersed, Lu Yuning was full of wine and food, and she didn't notice the way the emperor looked at her when he left.

As soon as he returned to Linglong Pavilion, Lu Yuning asked people to prepare water, and under the service of Qingzhi and Qingdai, he first bathed and freshened up, washed off all the fragrances stained on the banquet, and lit a incense that he liked recently in the house, and then leaned comfortably on the soft collapse, and picked up a book to read.

Although Lu Yuning felt that the emperor should come to Linglong Pavilion in the next few days, she also knew that it was impossible for the emperor to come tonight.

On this kind of day, even if the emperor doesn't go to Fengyi Palace, he will stay in his own Jianzhang Palace.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lu Yuning to hear that the emperor had gone to Fengyi Palace.

Thinking of the prince's performance at today's birthday banquet, Lu Yuning felt that the queen didn't want the emperor to go to Fengyi Palace tonight.

With this idea in mind, when she went to greet the queen the next day, Lu Yuning paid special attention to the queen's face, and found that even if the queen wore makeup, she couldn't cover the faint tiredness on her face.

Of course, Lu Yuning is not the only one who has noticed the queen's state.

The low-ranking concubines couldn't speak, even if someone wanted to say a few words to the queen, they didn't dare to speak, but Xiang is concubine and others didn't have this concern.

After saluting the queen, the concubine said directly: "The concubine looked at the queen's face and didn't look very good, but where was her body uncomfortable?" The queen also has to pay attention to her body, what if you have something, what can we do? ”

But whenever the concubine speaks, Concubine Jing will definitely sing a few words against her.

"Sister Guifei said this, why does my sister listen to you as if you are looking forward to the queen mother's unwellness."

The concubine glanced at Concubine Jing and said lightly: "I just care about the queen's body, isn't it the sister herself who thinks like this?" ”

The queen looked at the concubine, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and said: "The concubine cares about the body of the palace, the palace knows, but the two of you don't have to worry about the palace, the palace is just this time to take care of the queen mother's birthday, and on the other hand, you have to manage the affairs of the palace, so you are a little tired, just rest for two days." ”

The concubine knew the reason why the queen was tired, but she wanted to use this matter to poke the queen's pain, and the queen also used the right of the concubine to deal with the affairs of the palace that the concubine had always wanted to get involved in but couldn't deal with the two of them.

Over the years, the concubine has wanted to share a part of the palace power from the queen more than once, but the queen has pinched the palace power and won't let go, and the concubine can only watch dryly.

The queen's words fell, and An Concubine, who had not spoken much when she asked An, said with a smile: "This is also a matter of no way, the queen mother is the master of this harem, and the big and small things in the harem need to be handled by the queen mother, and it is inevitable that you will be tired, but fortunately, now that the queen mother's birthday has passed, the queen mother, as long as you have a good rest for two days, you will definitely return to the previous brilliance." ”

After all, the queen is the queen, and she gave birth to a prince, even if the prince is not very satisfied with the emperor now, but the queen's position is still very stable, and the concubine has no children under her knees, even if she has the support of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion behind her, she does not dare to go too far.

Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Then the queen mother has to pay attention to rest and take care of the phoenix body." "No more.

With this play, everyone in the back also stopped thinking about making trouble, and sat in Fengyi Palace and talked about the discord with each other.

After everyone left, the queen rubbed the corners of her forehead and asked Liuli with a tired face, "Why can't the emperor be more tolerant of the prince?" ”

Last night, after the emperor came to Fengyi Palace, he called the prince to him and reprimanded him for a long time, and asked the prince to go to Jianzhang Palace every day after school from today, he wanted to personally check what the prince learned every day and teach the prince.

This is a good thing, which proves that the emperor still values the prince, but the problem is that the prince is already respectful and afraid of the emperor, and now he has been trained by the emperor several times, and he is even more afraid of the emperor.

Even if it was an article that was originally memorized, as long as it came to the emperor, it would not be able to be recited.

The queen was really worried that after the prince went to Jianzhang Palace, his knowledge and behavior would not satisfy the emperor, and he would be punished by the emperor every day.

But last night, she just said a word for the prince, and she was coldly faced by the emperor, and finally stayed directly in the side hall.

Liuli knew that the queen mother was distressed by the prince, but in Liuli's opinion, the emperor's approach was correct, and the queen mother was too doting on the prince, which was not a good thing for the prince.

After all, the crown prince will inherit the treasure in the future, if he is pampered by the queen mother and does not know everything, and his knowledge is also a mess, then how to be a monarch?

But in this case, Liuli can't tell the queen mother, because in the queen's mother's opinion, the prince is just young now, and it will be good when he grows up in the future.

Liuli could only persuade the queen mother, and said: "Queen mother, you don't have to worry, the emperor also values the prince so he wants to take the prince with him to teach, the prince is the emperor's own son, and the only son, even if the emperor is strict with the prince, it will not really hurt the prince." ”

The queen sighed, having said that, the prince will always have to suffer.
