Shen Xiao retracted his gaze, looked at Liu Qingshu beside her, and said softly, "Concubine Liu." ”

He stretched out his hand to Liu Qingshu.

Liu Qingshu handed him his hand in understanding, got up and stood beside him.

Zhang Shuting said again: "Your Majesty, this Xin Jieyu ......"

Shen Xiao glanced at her and said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that I don't even recognize Jiang Qingyue?" ”

Zhang Shuting then remembered that Jiang Qingyue had a past with the emperor.

If it is impossible for King Xuan to admit his mistake, the emperor will not.

When she came back to her senses, the emperor had already walked into the hall with Liu Qingshu, and everyone around her had already stood up.

Sun Hongya felt extremely embarrassed, but this daughter was a noble concubine, she had no qualifications to preach, so she could only hate iron and steel: "I told you twice, she is Jiang Qingyue, what do you have to fight about?" ”

It's a joke.

Zhang Shuting still couldn't figure it out: "But she's really Xin Wei!" ”

In the temple.

In just a few dozen steps, Liu Qingshu actually noticed a thin layer of sweat on the emperor's palms.

His grip was a little tight, and his face was not very good-looking.

Walking to the steps of the hall, Shen Xiao motioned for her to sit beside him.

Liu Qingshu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the harem is respected by the noble concubine, and the concubine is only in the concubine position, and it is not in accordance with the etiquette to sit here." ”

The seats on the left and right sides of the emperor should belong to the queen mother and empress, but the back seat is vacant, so the concubine should sit here.

Shen Xiao said: "After today, it won't be. ”

Liu Qingshu didn't understand the meaning.

Shen Xiao said again: "You sit down." ”

Liu Qingshu couldn't refuse, so she sat on the emperor's side in full view of everyone.

After Shen Gu took Jiang Qingyue to sit down on their seats, he glanced at Concubine Liu, who was sitting beside the emperor, and frowned, "It's so strange." ”

"What's strange?"

"He named the Zhang family as a noble concubine, and held Concubine Liu high," Shen Gu said suspiciously, "If you talk about checks and balances, you shouldn't choose the Zhang family, where can the Zhenguo Mansion have the strength to balance the Liu family?" ”

Jiang Qingyue nodded: "Indeed." ”

Shen Gu said again: "Could it be that he has already thought about it, and he wants to borrow the hand of the Liu family to get rid of the Zhenguo Mansion." ”

Jiang Qingyue looked stunned and shook her head: "The Zhenguo Mansion doesn't hinder his eyes." "Will he lift up his noble hand and do this good deed?

Shen Gu smiled: "Yes." ”

On the other side, Sun Hongyan saw Zhang Shuting sitting in the seat next to Concubine Liu, stared at her, and said: "How can this Concubine Liu not understand the rules so much, the concubine is still there, and it is her turn to sit in the position closest to the emperor?" ”

Zhang Yunlu heard her muttering and said impatiently: "Say a few words." ”

"What's wrong with me?"

"Since she dares to sit, the emperor acquiesces, Shuting doesn't dare to speak, what are you talking about? I don't look at any occasion either. ”

Zhang Yunlu is most annoyed by her appearance of talking about right and wrong all day long.

Sun Hongyan was reprimanded by him, and even though she was unwilling, she forced her words into her stomach.

Shen Gu saw Jiang Qingyue looking left and right, and leaned into her ear and said, "On this kind of occasion, the imperial sister usually doesn't pinch it. ”

Sure enough, before the banquet, Shen Shuning was late.

Today's Shen Shuning combed his Chaoyun bun, obliquely inserted a tourmaline dragonfly peony pattern hosta, and his hair was decorated with gold silk inlaid with lotus crab pattern, wearing a sea-sky sun-colored skirt with red lips.

Everyone almost didn't recognize that this was the eldest princess who had always been plain-faced.

As soon as Shen Shuning came, he went straight to the position beside Jiang Qingyue, and knocked on the table with his knuckles.

King Jin, who was sitting in that seat, called "Imperial Sister" and got up obediently: "Imperial Sister, please take a seat." "He himself is looking for another seat.

Shen Shuning sat down and squeezed his eyebrows at Jiang Qingyue, "How is it?" ”

"Bright as a spring, as bright as an autumn moon, if I am a man, I have to fall in love with you," Jiang Qingyue looked at her intently, "Who is so face-saving that our eldest princess is also dressed up?" ”

"Who else has this face but you?" Shen Shuning leaned over to her ear, "I have a big drama to watch today, and I specially asked the palace people to clean up for me." ”

She touched her skirt with her hand: "This is my robe." ”

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help laughing: "I want to laugh when I see you." ”

Shen Shuning gave her a wink.

"After today, you'll be truly free."

Revenge is avenged, and she will be able to be herself in the future, and she will no longer have to be trapped in Jinling City.

Wine and delicacies are seated, before the singing and dancing begins.

Shen Xiao held Liu Qingshu's hand and announced one thing in public: "Concubine Liu is virtuous and virtuous, gentle and dignified, I want to crown Concubine Liu as the imperial concubine, and the canonization ceremony will be made at the beginning of next month." ”

Liu Qingshu was startled and looked at him sideways.

Since ancient times, once the queen and the imperial concubine could not stand side by side, you can know the importance of status.

After a brief silence in the hall, the sound of the mountain cry was deafening.

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Jiang Qingyue glanced at Yongchang Hou, and sure enough, Sun Hongyan's face was ugly.

The imperial concubine is equivalent to the deputy queen and is also the queen's candidate, and will not be easily canonized. And the difference between the concubine and the imperial concubine is one word, but the power and status are far apart.

Shen Shuning shook Jiang Qingyue's hand: "It's here." ”

When the piano sounded, Jiang Qingyue looked at the hall, and Zhang Shulan, who was dressed in dance clothes, entered the hall with a group of dancing girls.

Zhang Shulan is the lead dancer, the dance clothes are obviously different, and the dancers dance around her, so that everyone's eyes can't help but look at her a few more times.

King Xuan exclaimed: "Marquis Yongchang, isn't this the fourth girl of your family?" ”

Yongchanghou's face was gloomy, and he turned his head to reprimand Sun Hongyan: "You sent her to the palace to ask her to dance in public?" That's how you taught your daughter to lose my face? ”

Sun Hongyan was so angry that she couldn't speak: "How do I know, she, she...... How do you know this is not a good idea to attract the emperor? ”

If it weren't for the longevity banquet, Yongchang Hou couldn't wait to slap it, this woman never did good deeds, and the daughter she gave birth to.

"Your daughter is just as embarrassed as you are!"

Sun Hongyan's voice trembled: "What my daughter, isn't it your daughter?" ”

Yongchang Hou glanced at her coldly: "I don't have this kind of daughter." ”

After the dance, Shen Xiao didn't seem to take a second look at the dancer who led the dance, but suddenly remembered Liu Wenyu's eldest brother, Liu Wenye.

"General Dart Banner has been guarding the frontier for several years, delaying marrying a wife and having children, is it good for me to give General Dart Banner a marriage?"

Liu Wenye walked out of his seat, knelt down in the middle of the main hall and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers already have people who are happy." ”

Shen Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Which daughter is it?" ”

Liu Wenye said clearly: "The minister is brave, I love the eldest princess of Roujia!" ”

Roujia is a title given to Shen Shuning by the first emperor. But Shen Shuning didn't like this title and refused to ask anyone to mention it.

Shen Shuning was stunned, and the wine glass in his hand almost slipped down. Is this Liu Wenyu stupid? The emperor has announced to the world that the eldest princess of Roujia has married An Huai, and she is the county lord.

Sure enough, Shen Xiao said: "It's a pity that the eldest princess has gone to Anhuai and kiss, Aiqing can't get what she wants, it's better to ......"

Liu Wenye kowtowed to the emperor.

"The eldest princess won't marry!"
