No matter what everyone thinks, the Lantern Festival palace banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was still held smoothly.

In previous years, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all the family banquets were held, and there were no foreign ministers.

But this year is special, Daqi won the battle, and just like the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, hundreds of civil and military officials and their families were invited to the palace.

Officials of the third rank and above in the DPRK and China all brought their families to participate, and the end was lively.

The queen's belly is six months old, and when she had an accident in her last child, it was also six months old, and it was about the old things that made people worry, so she paid special attention.

It's just quiet, just raise the fetus and hide idle, and throw everything that shouldn't matter outside.

And Concubine Yang here, when she was just pregnant, she still had the mind to be reckless, and wanted to plan this and that, but after three months of full belly, she was still quiet.

Although she never said it to the public, Fang Yu knew that it was because of the uneasiness of the fetus.

After all, it was conceived by drugs, and it didn't show anything when the month was shallow, but when the month was big, the problem would slowly appear.

If I remember correctly, according to Doctor Zeng's description, Concubine Yang should feel tired and tired every day.

Of course, pregnant people always love to sleep and are lazy, which is normal, but there is nothing unusual in the pulse.

Without Concubine Yang jumping up and down, it is certainly comfortable, but the queen doesn't care about anything, Fang Yu, the assistant of the six palaces, is about to become the leader of the six palaces, she is tired.

The work on the side can also be divided into concubines or Song Lingyi to help do some, but the entertainment at the dinner party can't be shared.

So after a dinner party, Fang Yu's face was numb.

And the queen and Concubine Yang went back early to rest in the middle of the dinner.

couldn't help but make Fang Yu sigh, carrying one in his stomach is indeed a lot more convenient sometimes.

After sitting in the hall for a long time, it was inevitable that he would be a little bored, so Fang Yu got up and went out to breathe.

Unexpectedly, under the porch outside, I met the two young ladies of the Qin State Mansion.

The eldest young lady Wen and the second young lady Zheng.

When the two saw Fang Yu, they were also busy coming over to salute.

"Courtiers see mothers."

"Two ladies, please get up." Fang Yu hurriedly said, and personally helped the two of them one by one, "I didn't see the Duchess come to the banquet today, I was worried, I haven't had the opportunity to talk to the two young ladies, but now it just happens, is the Duchess okay?" ”

Outside, I only know that Concubine Zhao, who favors the crown of the six palaces, killed her relatives with righteousness, and destroyed the Fang family with her own hands, so that the emperor has been favored since he ascended the throne, and those who don't understand it think that Fang Yu is a beautiful and ruthless woman, but I didn't expect to see it today, but it is gentle and dignified.

Wen, as the eldest daughter-in-law, was busy answering.

"Thank you for your concern, originally the courtiers and other courtiers were wearing filial piety, and it was not suitable to go out to the banquet, but the emperor was really compassionate, and the courtiers could enter the palace, but the mother-in-law was too sad and lingered on the sickbed, and now, I really can't get up."

"The old prince and the eldest prince went one after another, the palace couldn't bear to hear it, and the emperor was even more sad for many days, not to mention how uncomfortable the duchess felt in her heart, the palace looked at the two young ladies and looked haggard, which made people feel distressed, but fortunately, now that the army is victorious, it will return to the court in the near future, and it is not a disappointment to the two generals."

Fang Yu's eyes showed sincere respect and mourning, and his tone was gentle and full of comfort.

When he remembered his deceased husband, Wen couldn't help crying for a while, and hurriedly wiped it away.

"The courtiers have lost their manners, and the mother forgives her sins."

Zheng's eyes were also slightly red, and he took out his handkerchief and handed it to his sister-in-law, and bowed to Fang Yu again.

"Don't blame the mother-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law and the eldest brother have gathered less and separated more, and now they are separated forever, and there are a pair of young daughters under their knees, these days, the mother-in-law is sick, and the eldest sister-in-law has to support her body to manage the affairs of the house, which is really physically and mentally tired."

"How can this palace be blamed." Fang Yu hurriedly waved his hand, "This palace can't go to the house to mourn in person, so I haven't been able to do my best." ”

After speaking, he turned to Qingrong and commanded.

"Send someone to take the hand-copied Buddhist scriptures from the palace, let the two young ladies take them back to the mansion, and burn them in front of the spirits of the two generals, which can be regarded as a little bit of the palace's heart, in addition, there are also a few good medicinal materials rewarded by the emperor in the treasury of the palace, which are also packed together."

"Niangniang is really polite, how good is this."

The two of them were about to refuse, but they were gently stopped by Fang Yu.

"Don't excuse the two, this Buddhist scripture was originally copied by the palace for the heroic spirit, and it can be regarded as the palace bothering the two ladies to bring it back to the house."

Hearing this, Wen and Zheng didn't say anything more.

This time, Fang Yu didn't lie, the Buddhist scriptures were indeed copied by her, and she was going to send someone to send them to the Guogong Mansion.

The coffins of Huo Chong, the Duke of Qin, and Huo Mingxu, the eldest son, were sent back to Kyoto from the northern Xinjiang, stopping and stopping all the way, accepting the spontaneous worship of the people along the road, and now there are still two days left to arrive in Kyoto.

I was going to wait for the coffin to enter Beijing, and then send someone to send it, but I didn't want to be clever today, so I took advantage of the situation.

And the opportunity is always reserved for those who are prepared.

That night, Wen and Zheng's concubines returned to the Qin State Mansion and relayed the matter to their mother-in-law, and the Duchess of Qin was also quite touched.

Looking at the Buddhist scriptures copied by Fang Yu's own hands, he immediately sighed.

"Even if this Concubine Zhao did these things to win over friends, it really took a lot of effort to write it down, and it showed sincerity."

"What does the mother-in-law mean, let's and Concubine Zhao." Zheng asked in a low voice.

The eldest sister-in-law Wen was widowed, and the children under her knees were still young, so it was impossible to attack the knight, although her husband saved his life, but he was missing an arm, and his health was not good, so he should also be unable to win the title.

I'm afraid that this title is going to fall to the third Huo Mingxuan.

In the past, everyone was kind, that was because the father-in-law was still there, and a bowl of water could be level, but now it has changed, the Wen family and the Zheng family both feel weak because of their husband's situation, and they are afraid that they will not get along well with Huo Mingxuan's uncle in the future, so they are working hard to please their mother-in-law, the Duchess of Qin.

Inquire about everything.

The Duchess of Qin, Han, couldn't see the care of the two daughters-in-law, so she said at this time.

"Since the two of you are here to talk to me about these things, it must be because you think that Concubine Zhao is a person who can be approached, and now that I am sick, the second child is also sick, and the house is supported by the two of you, the third child is young, and he can't control this, you can take the idea."

Hearing this, Wen and Zheng glanced at each other, saluted together, and retreated.

Then the two of them discussed, and sent a thank you gift to Fang Yu in the name of the Duke of Qin.

Gift-giving is not the key, it's the attitude that is.

With a response, it can be regarded as willing to make friends.

But what the two of them didn't know was that the Duchess also had her own plans.

At the beginning, in order to protect his second son, he cooperated with Fang Yu, but he didn't want to make people worse, so he tied his third son to Fang Yu's brother-in-law.

Now Fang Yu may not know very well, but the Duchess of Qin Guo knows that the only one who is okay and will stand up to the door in the future is already a brother partner with Concubine Zhao's brother-in-law, Liu Qin, who is a brother in life and death.

When the class teacher returns to the court, everyone will know.

At that time, the Duke of Qin and Concubine Zhao will inevitably be linked.

So instead of waiting for that time to show favor to Concubine Zhao again, it seems like a last resort, it is better to accept Concubine Zhao's kindness now.

When getting along with each other, the Duchess of Qin Guo also saw in her heart that Fang Yu was a person with success and certainty.

It shouldn't be harmful to be good friends with her.
