The Empress Dowager was happy to be quiet, and her palace was built on the outskirts of Beijing, and it took nearly two hours from the city to that place.

When the group arrived, there were already many carriages gathered outside the palace, and as many as officials and nobles, and Miss Gongzi had already arrived.

When getting off the carriage, if you happen to bump into the above, you will nod and greet each other quietly, especially the nobles, who secretly begin to compete with each other.

Ruan Tang is not outstandingly dressed, even if she has the appearance of captivating the country and the city, everyone did not pay attention to her.

That's what she wants.

Ruan Tang followed behind Mrs. Ruan and Ruan Changhuan and entered the palace together.

I have to say that although it is a palace where the Empress Dowager lives alone, this place is amazing.

Courtyards, attics are all over the place, surrounded by clear water, peaks and peaks depend on each other, it is really a good place to rely on the mountains and rivers and live for a long time.

And this place was also guarded in advance, and not long after they came in, they saw several groups of guards patrolling.

When they arrived at the main venue of the palace banquet, many people had already gathered there.

It is said that all the people invited to the banquet this time were the children of officials of the fourth rank or above or the children of the family.

And everyone has dressed up carefully, especially those girls, who are all dressed up in a fancy way, and they all want to stand out at the banquet and show their style.

Who doesn't want to be favored by the Empress Dowager to sit in the position of Princess Ning?

Mrs. Ruan took Ruan Tang and Ruan Changhuan into the main hall and found a seat to sit down.

Ruan Tang found out that there was a name card on every table, and they all sat according to this name card.

And from the position closest to the upper seat to the very end, it is arranged according to official products.

Jing'an Hou is from the second grade, and the sitting position is considered to be leaning on the middle.

Once all the seats were filled, a shrill voice was heard.

"The Empress Dowager has arrived."

When they heard this, they all got up in a hurry, and then bowed down and bowed down in unison.

"See the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Wanfu Jin'an."

With everyone's kneeling and bowing, the Empress Dowager walked out of the inner hall and sat down directly on the throne before she spoke: "Everyone doesn't need to be polite, let's all be even." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie."

After Ruan Tang got up, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at his head.

When I first listened to the voice, I felt that the voice of the Queen Mother was good.

Now that I look at it, I am even more amazed by her.

When I used to watch TV dramas, the Queen Mother in it was an old woman, and it was the first time she saw such a young Queen Mother.

It is said that wealth and beauty are maintained, and if this is the case, the empress dowager looks only in her thirties.

Dai eyebrows and phoenix eyes, Qiong nose and jade lips, a proper big beauty, where is it like the queen mother?

If it weren't for the fact that she was wearing a yellow coat symbolizing her status, wearing a phoenix crown on her head, and being majestic, Ruan Tang would have thought that she was also a member of the concubine selection.

If this is the case, presumably the women on the field will not have a chance.

She couldn't find a second one that could compare with it.

No wonder Chu Mu's appearance is so high, he has such a beautiful mother, his genes are so strong, can he be handsome?

Men love to look at beautiful women, and women love to look at beautiful women too.

Ruan Tang has completely fallen under her beauty, and it is a big crime to forget to stare at the Empress Dowager like this.

Mrs. Ruan on the side found out about her loss of manners, hurriedly pulled her sleeve, and then reprimanded her with her eyes.

Ruan Tang lowered his head in disdain, looking at his nose and his heart.

The Empress Dowager, who was sitting at the top, looked around and looked down, and then nodded with satisfaction.

The entire famous and noble girls in Shangjing are here, she doesn't believe that her son can't pick a satisfactory one?

She originally wanted to match him and Jing Ning, but some time ago he made it clear in front of her that he didn't like Jing Ning, but he just treated her as a sister.

She is a person from the past, and she also knows that the twisted melon is not sweet, he has no intention of Jing Ning, no matter how hard she asks, it is useless.

What's more, it's her stubborn son.

Now her request is very simple, as long as he likes it, he will be included in the house, no matter what position.

He is twenty-five years old, and there is no one in the back house, so he makes others laugh at him.

What's more, he is also the regent of a country, and this reputation must be maintained.

Some time ago, it was rumored that he got a merchant maid to go home, and she deliberately talked about it in front of Jing Ning, thinking that Jing Ning would go to find out the truth.

Although Jing Ning did come back angrily, he also said that there was a woman living in his room.

But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see anyone bring someone to see her, nor did he give her a name, presumably he deliberately released the news, the purpose was to dispel her idea of taking a concubine for him.

But how can she, as a mother, not worry about her son's marriage?

She is a person who has come over, and she knows that as long as a man opens the meat, he will eat the marrow and know the taste, so no matter what today, she will choose someone to choose and send him to his back house.

She smiled and turned her head to ask the maidservant beside her, "What about His Royal Highness King Ning?" Why haven't you seen him now? ”

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the slave and maid have already sent someone to urge, presumably Her Royal Highness is already on the way here." The handmaid replied respectfully.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh lightly, her son is good at everything, and this is what makes her uneasy.

Whenever I mention Concubine Na, I call her haha.

must have guessed the purpose of her birthday banquet today, and deliberately delayed time.

But now that everyone has arrived, she had no choice but to say to everyone: "Today is the birthday banquet of the mourning family, everyone eats and drinks well, there is no need to be restrained, just treat it as a family banquet." ”

The Empress Dowager is approachable, everyone has heard of it, and many of them are visiting for the first time today, and they can't help but praise it in their hearts.

Those noble girls were even more overjoyed.

If he can win the favor of King Ning, it must not be difficult for this mother-in-law to get along in the future.

Compared with everyone's joy, on the other hand, the county lord of Jingning, who was sitting in the position of the empress dowager closest to him, had a drooping face.

Especially when she saw that the noble girls and girls who came were all dressed up and showy, she was even more angry.

Originally, her aunt agreed to her and match her with Brother Mu, but somehow, she repented and persuaded her not to put her mind on Brother Mu anymore.

How is this possible? She has liked Brother Mu for so long, how could she give up?

It was because she came to take a look today to see which shameless brother Mu dared to seduce her.

Soon, the palace people began to serve the food, and the banquet officially began.

During the banquet, the Empress Dowager named several officials, and when she saw the girls they brought over, all of them looked pleasing and delightful, and they couldn't stop smiling.

Soon, the Empress Dowager's eyes also fell on the table of the Marquis of Jing'an.

Old Madam Ruan hurriedly took Ruan Changhuan and Ruan Tang to get up and blessed the Empress Dowager.

And the Empress Dowager's eyes also fell on the two girls beside her.

Old Madam Ruan hurriedly introduced: "This is Ruan Tang, the eldest granddaughter of the concubine, and this is Ruan Changhuan, the second granddaughter. ”

As Mrs. Ruan introduced, she quietly pushed Ruan Changhuan and asked her to step forward, so that the Empress Dowager could see her appearance clearly.
