Today's banquet was arranged in an elegantly built building, and it is said that you need to climb a staircase to climb it, and it is said that you can sit on it and dine on it, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire palace.

"I remember that there was no such building in the palace before, was it newly built?" Su Qingyan asked the palace people beside him.

"Hui Concubine Su, this is called the Bird Tower, which was specially built by the emperor for the imperial concubine, and this kind of grace is the first one."

"I see."

Bird Tower, this name is really ridiculous.

Perhaps from the moment Yan Yueying chose to step into the palace, she became a canary in a delicate cage, and she never wanted to fly out for the rest of her life.

Just thinking about it, the palace people had already brought her to the banquet table, "Concubine Su, this is it." ”

"You lead the way."

"Concubine Su has tormented the slave." The palace man bowed his head and walked down the bird tower.

Su Qingyan's eyes swept around the crowd, and found that the people had almost arrived, she walked to Lu Tianhui and sat down, "I've kept you waiting." ”

"Soon, you're going to the Jiaofang Palace?"

"Hmm."

"Yan Yueying, is it difficult for you?

"No, if not friends, between me and her, we will never be enemies."

Lu Tianhui bowed his head and didn't say much.

Qingyan is a very affectionate and righteous person in her bones, as long as it is a friend she identifies, she will choose to trust without reservation.

Yan Yueying's withdrawal from the Chamber of Commerce gave her a very big blow, but fortunately, the two of them did not get into trouble to the point of completely tearing their faces, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

"Tianhui, isn't this meal for you to celebrate? It doesn't seem to have a cheerful atmosphere at all, but it's lifeless. ”

"My father received the letter written by the border people, he didn't take it seriously at first, and put it in the fold, which was read by the courtiers in the early dynasty, and the prince secretly let the guards sell illicit salt, which has made the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty know."

"What? Didn't he reprimand the prince? ”

"The face of the emperor turned green with anger, and he directly smashed the stack of documents at hand on the prince, but he didn't punish him heavily, only let him go back to the house to think about it first."

Su Qingyan sneered.

When the crown prince sold illicit salt, this was completely ignoring the laws of the Great Liang, and if he was replaced by a bold emperor, he would definitely be deposed on the spot.

But their emperor is good, and he just let the prince go back and think about it behind closed doors.

"Tianhui, if it is revealed that you are the one who resells illicit salt, guess how the emperor will punish him?"

"Huh." According to his father's past style, he will definitely take back his pro-Soviet status, and if it is serious, he will be directly beheaded, and if it is light, he will be demoted to a concubine.

is also a prince, and he has the blood of the royal family in his body, but the treatment is really different.

Fortunately, Lu Tianhui was accustomed to the emperor's partiality, and for him, this father was just an inconsequential stranger.

"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived, and the imperial concubine has arrived!"

The eunuch's voice was a little harsh, and Su Qingyan looked sideways, and the pot-bellied emperor was walking slowly with two graceful and luxurious women.

It stands to reason that Yan Yueying should not have attended such an occasion, even if the imperial concubine was favored again, she would only be a concubine after all.

But she can sit on an equal footing with the queen, which shows how much she is favored by Di Su.

"Ministers see the emperor, see the queen, the imperial concubine!"

Everyone who went to the banquet got up and saluted, and the emperor raised his hand and signaled to get up, "Today is the celebration banquet for Xiaoyaosu's triumphant return, you don't have to be limited by the number of etiquette, just be casual." ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Qingyan sat back with her, and was about to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, when the emperor's eyes suddenly fell on her, "Concubine Su, I heard Xiaoyao Su say that you are pregnant, but is it true?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I am indeed pregnant with a child, and it has been almost two months."

"Well, you have already given birth to a son and a daughter for Xiaoyaosu before, and now you have an heir, you are a blessed person."

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment." Su Qingyan was very puzzled why Lu Tianhui told the emperor that she was pregnant, but there were too many people in the Bird Tower, so she really couldn't ask, so she should talk about this topic after returning home.

Liang won the battle, and the emperor touched his beard happily, "Xiaoyaosu, you have made war achievements, what reward do you want me to give you?" ”

Lu Tianhui stood up, "As a prince, it is within the scope of the son to protect the family and defend the country, if the father insists on rewarding, it is better to add Qingyan's name to the royal family tree and let her officially become Concubine Su." ”

The emperor's face changed, and his smile narrowed.

He didn't have any opinions about Su Qingyan, he just felt that this woman's background was too low and she was not worthy of the identity of a wife.

Mu Xiao's appearance is outstanding, and Concubine Su's position is kept, maybe it can be used to make peace with the princess of other countries in the future, which is quite good for stabilizing the rivers and mountains of Daliang.

Seeing the emperor's hesitation, the queen immediately fanned the flames beside her, "Your Majesty, the ceremony of canonizing Concubine Su is too cumbersome, and now that Miss Su is pregnant, where can she withstand such a toss, it is better to wait for the child to be born and then discuss it." ”

"Well, what the queen said is very true, it is better to ......" "The concubine doesn't think so." The emperor was about to speak, when Yan Yueying suddenly interrupted him, "Your Majesty, think about it, there has been no happy event in our royal family for a long time, and the women in His Royal Highness the Prince's mansion are not considered to be angry, and to this day there is only one princess raised in the countryside, but Miss Su has added heirs to the royal family one after another, and there is no merit and hard work." ”

The queen has always been not in harmony with Yan Yueying, and when she heard her words, she was willing to give up, "Imperial concubine, according to what you mean, whoever gives birth to Su Ye more, can he be Concubine Su?" ”

"The queen's words are too high-minded, Su Ye and Miss Su have a deep affection, and they are already affectionate. Moreover, if according to the folk name, several of Concubine Su's children have to call Your Majesty Grandpa, in this life, isn't the picture full of children and grandchildren? Do you want to let the royal blood grow up nameless? ”

"Who said that there is no name and no point, even if you can't be a concubine Su, you can also seal a concubine or a side concubine, and the child she gives birth to can still be recognized into the royal family tree."

Yan Yueying smiled coquettishly, "The queen always talks about the humility of her concubine on weekdays, why did she come to Concubine Su and not take it to heart?" The children of the main wife and the children of the concubine, can they be the same? ”

The queen said disdainfully: "Since ancient times, if you want to be the wife of a prince, you have to be a lady from a famous family, Miss Su is just a country woman in the end, if you become Concubine Su, won't you be ridiculed by the world?" ”

"What about rural origins? Didn't the prince's daughter also grow up in the countryside? The queen still holds it in the palm of her hand and loves it. ”

"You!"

"Enough!" The emperor was troubled by the quarrel between the two of them, and said unhappily, "It's just a trivial matter, why quarrel like this." ”

Yan Yueying wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Your Majesty, the concubine is also from a folk background, and being able to accompany you is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes." I just heard the queen's words slandering Concubine Su, and I didn't say a few more words in my heart, and I hope to forgive my sins. ”

The tears of the beauty are the most distressing, the emperor already has a lot of dissatisfaction with the queen, and when he heard Yan Yueying's complaint, he felt even more angry, "The queen's words today are a little too much, let's go back early to rest after a few glasses of wine, there is no need to stay here." ”

The queen is the mother of a country, and her face turned purple when she was taken down by the emperor on the spot.

But she didn't dare to disobey the holy order, so she could only bow her head and pretend to be dead.
