Before the start of the night banquet, Baozhu followed Qi Junce and the concubines to the palace gate to greet the Queen Mother who went out to worship the Buddha.

Baozhu was wearing a heavy palace robe, and his underwear was already soaked in the sun. Standing a little staggering, Concubine Cheng moved to Baozhu's side at some point.

"If my sister endures it again, the Queen Mother's team is about to arrive." Concubine Cheng thought it was Baozhu who was impatient to wait, and explained warmly.

Baozhu smiled and bowed her head to indicate that this queen mother was originally a not very favored concubine when she was the emperor, but because she gave birth to a good son of Qi Junce, and there was a war.

The death of the former emperor's concubine and prince, and the disappearance of the missing made her become a noble queen mother.

It's just that Baozhu doesn't know much about this person, only that he is a simple person.

"Sister Chengfei, what kind of person is this queen mother, you have a lot of experience in the palace, you should know, right?" Orb asked in a whisper.

Concubine Cheng cautiously looked around, and after making sure that no one noticed them, she leaned close to Baozhu's ear and said, "The Queen Mother is the most lenient person, don't worry." ”

Baozhu nodded, in fact, he wasn't looking forward to such a person who had nothing to do with him.

The team entered the palace in a mighty way, and on the top of the bright yellow sedan chair was a soaring phoenix. In the team, the palace maids alone saw more than a hundred and ten people, and the pomp was so huge.

Hey, where is this to worship the Buddha, this luxury is so extravagant that the Buddha doesn't dare to look at it. Baozhu thought silently.

Before the team finished entering, Qi Junce couldn't wait to meet him, and the concubines followed closely behind.

"The queen mother is healthy, the queen mother has been gone for more than half a year, and the sons miss it very much." Before anyone came down, Qi Junce saluted the sedan chair and said.

The concubines bowed respectfully, and an aunt with gray sideburns helped the queen mother down from the sedan chair, and only saw a pair of shoes with huge Dongzhu on top of the jewel's perspective.

"Okay, okay, everything is fine with the mourning family, emperor, you have lost weight." The queen mother motioned for the emperor to get up, and the jewel could loosen off her sour waist.

In front of him is an elderly woman who is no different from the imagination, so at a glance, Qi Junce's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to the Queen Mother.

Although the Queen Mother is old, her skin is still white and smooth, with a little wrinkles, which is harmless. When he laughs, his eyes are like the tails of a koi fish, and he holds a string of Buddhist beads in his hands.

"Don't stand, everyone, go back to the palace, the sun is big." As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was really hot to die here to see your mother and son's filial piety.

Everyone sat down in Shoukang Palace, and Baozhu could drink a sip of water, worrying about when he would be able to return to his Weiyang Palace.

The Queen Mother looked around with a smile, and she never let go of the emperor's hand.

"Queen," the Queen Mother said to the Queen, "you have worked hard these days. ”

The queen was ordered, and hurriedly got up and said that it was the retainer who should do it.

The orb was in a fugue, but he could feel a beam of eyes suddenly fall on him. Sure enough, the Queen Mother's voice suddenly sounded.

"You, the woman sent by the Mi Wan Kingdom, are you a concubine now?" The Queen Mother's voice was a little colder than just now, giving Baozhu a sense of crisis.

Baozhu stood up respectfully, "Concubine Mi Qianguo Song Clan, meet the Queen Mother." May the Queen Mother be blessed with a long life and good health, and all things auspicious. ”

Baozhu hung his head obediently, but heard a cold snort from the upper seat.

"Everybody says it's a girl. Lang of Liguo. Jun Ce, this woman is really better than the previous imperial concubine. The Queen Mother said lightly.

Qi Junce was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know why the Queen Mother wanted to mention the one who made a mistake before, so he could only get up and say: "Baozhu is well-behaved, and he is also very dedicated to serving his son..."

Before Qi Junce's words were finished, the Queen Mother interrupted him.

"Orb? The emperor called very affectionately, and it seems that this Song family's favor is really extraordinary. The Queen Mother's words were tinged with some hostility, and Baozhu bit her lip, thinking about how to deal with it.

"But isn't it," Concubine Shu's voice sounded suddenly, "Queen Mother, don't you know, now in the palace, who doesn't know how hot Concubine Song is." ”

The knee that had been arched was already a little sore, and Baozhu felt a little unable to stand. But at this time, it suddenly became cold, and Baozhu didn't know if he should speak.

"Alright, you get up." The Queen Mother's words made Baozhu breathe a sigh of relief, and she felt much better after standing up straight.

"Raise your head and let the mourners see." The Queen Mother said.

Orb took a deep breath and slowly lifted her face. Looking at the Queen Mother's gaze, the pair of eyes glowing with essence made Baozhu uncomfortable.

The Queen Mother pulled out a smile and waved her hand to signal the jewel to sit down again. Then he took a sip of tea calmly, and Baozhu's heart was a little drumming.

"The prince has a heart, and such a beauty is willing to give it away. No matter what, as long as you serve the emperor wholeheartedly and spread the branches for him, the mourning family will also love you well. The Queen Mother's words seemed to give the embarrassment just now a step down, and Baozhu naturally knew how to observe words and feelings.

"All the concubines are headed by Your Majesty, and they will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's instructions." Baozhu got up and replied, this paragraph has finally passed.

There were still two hours before the start of the feast, and the queen mother said that she was tired, and the concubines slowly dispersed and went back to their respective palaces.

Back in Weiyang Palace, Baozhu grabbed the teacup and drank a fine light, and Haitang was busy saying that the concubine should be slow.

Baozhu breathed a long sigh of relief with satisfaction, muttering that this welcome was really tiring. Immediately, he summoned the four of them into the temple, and mysteriously said that they had something to ask.

"We have been in the palace for more than a month, do any of you know what the imperial concubine sent by the Mi Wan Kingdom was deposed for?" Baozhu asked solemnly.

Begonia Ah Zi and Ah Yan were both a little shocked, and they didn't know why Baozhu suddenly asked this.

The moon slave held his face and said with some puzzlement: "Girl, didn't the master say it when we were in the Mi Wan Kingdom, it was a death of illness, not a dethronement." ”

Baozhu sighed helplessly and poked the moon slave's head.

"Silly moon slave, if you die of illness, then why does the prince have to send tribute girls in a hurry. And why is everyone in this palace avoiding talking about it, and...

Baozhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "And she gave birth to three sons in a row, which is logically a hero. But one of her children was given an heir to a prince who made a mistake, which is really not normal. ”

Hearing this, the moon slave also frowned, "What the girl said is yes, it seems that the matter of the imperial concubine may not be so simple." ”

At this time, the youngest Ah Zi suddenly whispered, "The slave heard that... I just heard about it. ”

Baozhu leaned out curiously, and said in the same low voice: "It's okay, you say it, it's all your own people here." ”

After receiving encouragement, Ah Zicai spoke again: "The slave maid heard that the imperial concubine killed the emperor's heir, and even harmed the death of the other two concubines, that's why..."

Ah Zi's words made Baozhu frightened, so it turned out to be so. It's no wonder that Qi Junce treated himself like this at the beginning, and those fears and concerns can be traced.

"Then why did you still give her the honor of imperial concubine after her death?" Begonia asked.

"Because, she is the link between the Mi and Li countries, even if it is for the face and diplomatic relations of the two countries, she will be given the honor after death." Ayan, who was silent, suddenly explained.

Now Baozhu has understood seventy-seven eighty-eight in his heart, and it seems that he will have to be extra careful in his actions in the future.

At the night banquet, the palace concubines took out all their resources to send gifts to ask the queen mother for her favor. Especially the jade sculpture of Guanyin with a green body, Baozhu couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

It's really a bloody effort to please the old lady, and it's worth a lot of money at a glance. The Queen Mother's face wrinkled with a smile tonight, and she said that it was good.

It was the turn of the jewel, and the jewel reverently presented the handpiece that had been opened by the Great Sound Temple of the Miwa Kingdom and handed it to the Queen Mother.

Legend has it that there are three monks who ascended to heaven and the golden body does not decay for a hundred years, so it is called one of the three holy temples in the Eastern Continent.

Not to mention such a handicap, even a little incense ash can be sold for ten gold. Therefore, it is very precious and has a very good meaning.

Baozhu expected that this would be the queen mother's appetite, and sure enough, the queen mother couldn't put it down when she held it, and said okay.

It seems that the prejudice against Baozhu has been a little less during the day, and Baozhu can see Shuguifei's unhappy face in the afterglow.

Halfway through the banquet, the Queen Mother looked around and found that there was something missing.

"Emperor, didn't you say that Rokuro would come back?" The Queen Mother asked with concern.

Hoju chewing beef, Rokuro? Qijun planned the second, it seems that this is the king of Yangcheng he said.

Qi Junce reacted at this time, but then changed to a strange expression and said: "Queen Mother, Liulang has always been a child who has no rules, and you don't know it. ”

The Queen Mother sighed, muttering something in her mouth and not hearing clearly.

Suddenly, a group of white doves rushed in from outside the hall and went straight in the direction of the Empress Dowager Qijunce, which frightened Ma Dong and exclaimed to escort the car.

But the white dove did not rush over, but as if it had been trained, it circled above Qi Junce's head, and actually stopped in front of them.

Baozhu looked at it with some curiosity, and the white dove began to slowly change its formation, condensing into a big longevity character.

Just as everyone was watching curiously, a clear voice sounded.

"Erchen is late, does the queen mother still like this gift?"

Baozhu searched for the sound, only to see a thin young man striding from outside the door. Dressed in moon-white clothes, with dark lines.

He didn't comb his hair in a high bun, but let his hair fall apart, loosely holding an unsightly knot at the back of his head.

The cheeks are a little thin, perhaps because of the travel, and the skin is like ears of wheat in late autumn.

The face of the unisex portrait, if you apply fat powder, I am afraid that it will look like a living beauty. Bao Zhu felt that the appearance of this Yang City King was unexpectedly good-looking, and it was so amazing.

King Yangcheng strode up to the Queen Mother, saluting and saying that he was late. Then with a wave of his hand, the white doves scattered and flew out again.

"Sixth brother, you're late, but you're going to punish yourself with three cups." The queen maintained her previous dignity and said with a smile.

King Yangcheng lowered his eyes and smiled, and ran to the Queen Mother's side, sat at the Queen Mother's feet like a child, and rested his head on the Queen Mother's knees.

The Queen Mother smiled and stroked his head, "That's natural, it's not that the imperial sister-in-law doesn't know how much I drink." King Yangcheng replied.

This made Qi Junce laugh, and the queen also responded with her head bowed.

Baozhu sat down, silently looking at the happy family in front of him.

"This King of Yangcheng is really interesting." Baozhu whispered.
