The spring scenery in March is bright, and the bare branches in the winter of last year have been covered with emerald color, and the leaf veins are shimmering, flashing with the style of spring scenery in the light.

On the day of His Majesty's birthday banquet, it was a good day, cloudless, and the palaces were decorated with new decorations, and the palaces were cleaned with peach branch water. The customs of the Jin Kingdom, before the emperor's birthday, all have to burn incense and bathe and inspect the palace.

Therefore, before dawn, Gu Qingping got up and freshened up, at this time she had moved to the Minghe Hall next to Fengqi Palace, this palace is not big or small, but it is very elegantly decorated, because it is adjacent to Fengqi Palace, it is not remote, and the flowers and trees are also taken care of, so it is more than a star and a half better than the dilapidated Shangyang Palace, and the palace maids who serve have also increased, all according to Gu Qingshuang's example, and the maids are also much more respectful than before.

Everyone knows that today's three princesses are blessed by the queen and are full of grace.

Tao Yao's face turned red happily, and the smile on her lips couldn't be put down for a few days, and on the night she moved to the Minghe Palace, Gu Qingping saw her quietly wiping her tears.

In fact, she herself felt something, but she didn't let anyone see it.

After grooming, His Majesty's holy cup has also come, she took Tao Yao out to meet the queen, the queen is half of her illness, still in good spirits, pulled her to stand in front, when the holy bowl passed, everyone knelt down, but the queen saluted and stood.

She heard His Majesty's light voice: "The queen is recovering from a serious illness, why stand in this tuyere, I just go through the motions, I don't have to go out to greet her." ”

Cheng Hou said with a smile: "Having said that, how can Your Majesty not welcome him when he has come here." If you spread it, you will have to suffer some reprimands. ”

His Majesty then said, "Since you have seen it, go back." ”

Cheng Hou saluted: "How can you rest so easily." Your Majesty's birthday banquet in the evening is very important, and people are needed everywhere. ”

His Majesty said, "I have tired you." The queen doesn't like incense lately, I just happened to have some new spices here, and it's useless, so I'll give it to you. ”

Cheng Hou thanked him and said, "The concubine thanked Your Majesty." ”

His Majesty replied coldly, and the saint continued to get up and go elsewhere.

The queen helped Gu Qingping up, and then ordered the rest of the palace people to get up: "You go back first, the Su family will ask you to have some etiquette at the banquet, and the palace will order someone to send you some dresses and jewelry in the evening, your father's birthday, you should dress up better, don't lose the face of the royal family." ”

Gu Qingping responded obediently, Cheng Hou let go of her hand, turned around and was surrounded by the maids of the Bureau, Gu Qingping saw this and quietly retreated.

The day's work was quickly spent in a hurried atmosphere, and in the evening, all palaces lit lanterns, illuminating the Taiyang Palace as if it were day, and the maid had led Gu Qingping into the Pingyi Hall where the banquet was held.

There was no banquet yet, so the ladies were all concentrated in the apse of the Pingyi Palace. The edicts sat elegantly in elegant costumes, gossiping, and the daughters gathered in the small garden of the Pingyi Palace.

At this time, the small garden is paved with fragrant flowers, which can be regarded as a grand scene in the world, and the daughters are dressed up in pink makeup, which is very gorgeous, and when Gu Qingping arrived, there were already many young ladies from the minister's family gathered inside.

Those who don't know her naturally stand from a distance and watch, but those who know her still have to come and bow according to the etiquette.

"Third Emperor Sister, on my father's birthday, it's really a disappointment for you to dress so plainly." The voice was delicate, but the words spoken were a little cold.

Gu Qingping looked over, it was Gu Qingshuang, the sixth princess who was wearing gold and silver clothes and shoes.

She had a faint smile on her face: "My father has always been frugal, and he won't blame me." What's more, my mother's mourning period has not passed, and it is too publicized and unfilial. Besides, this is the clothes given by the queen's mother, where is it? ”

Gu Qingshuang was choked, and the girl in purple next to her smiled: "Your Majesty is thrifty. But today is Your Majesty's birthday, my uncle has given His Majesty a lot of treasures, the princess such plain clothes, inevitably to His Majesty lost some face, people who don't know still think that the princess is not like Your Majesty, deliberately in Your Majesty's birthday banquet what moth. ”

Gu Qingping frowned slightly, and was about to speak.

A hearty and flamboyant female voice suddenly interjected: "The lord of this county doesn't know, keeping filial piety for his mother can also be said to be losing His Majesty's face, Xie Yun, you are a little ridiculous." ”

Gu Qingping followed the sound and saw a young girl, dressed in a flamboyant red long skirt, with her hair tied high, not wearing a golden jade hairpin, but using red silk to tie her hair. The eyes that were as bright as autumn water were full of banter, and his eyebrows were hearty and heroic, not like a weak willow lord, but like a general who went into battle to kill the enemy.

Gu Qingping had never seen this person, but from Xie Yun's slightly changed expression, it could be seen that she hated people very much.

Xie Yu snorted coldly: "It's you again." ”

"It is a great honor to be able to make the county lord of Wen Shu remember, this county lord is really honored," the girl laughed, walked quickly, stood next to Gu Qingping, and saluted her, "Third Highness, my father, King Ying." ”

Gu Qingping opened his eyes slightly: "It turns out that you are Chu Xiangyue." ”

King Ying, who is a hero who stands up to the sky, and her daughter Luoyue County Lord is naturally not inferior to her father, who has been dancing with knives and sticks since she was a child, which is completely different from Dijing's youngest daughter.

A few years ago, after entering Beijing, I heard that I always love to fight and be very unfair, but now when I see it, I know that it is better to meet than to be famous.

Chu Xiangyue happily put her hand on her shoulder: "Your Highness has heard of me?" It's a real privilege. ”

Xie Yu looked at her with disgust in his eyes, snorted coldly, and left with his sleeves brushed up.

Chu Xiangyue whistled towards Xie Yun's back: "Don't go, County Lord Wenshu, didn't you just snatch the book you fancied, why not turn your face and leave!" ”

The sixth princess said: "You can also grab the relics of Confucianism!" Chu Xiangyue, you don't know how to dance with a knife and stick in big characters, what do you want to do with that posthumous work, this princess will give you a two-day deadline, and immediately give the great Confucian posthumous work to Wen Shu, and this princess can not blame the past. ”

Chu Xiangyue blew the hair that fell from her sideburns, and said nonchalantly: "Ah, Your Highness is angry, but what can you do?" ”

King Ying's dominance in Yongzhou, with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, guarded the pass fortresses of the Northern Qin and Southern Jin Dynasty, and such capital gave Chu Xiangyue the courage to be presumptuous in Beijing.

Even the Xie clan would not offend King Ying for trivial things.

Gu Qingshuang's face was pale, she snorted coldly, and turned around to leave
