The palace is brightly lit, the palace maids come and go and shuttle, and when Xiahou Shuang and his wife arrive with Xiahou Jing, there are already many ministers and wives in the palace, and they see the husband and wife whispering from time to time.

A palace maid came to guide people to their seats, and Zhang Yanyu saw Xiahou Shuang hurriedly coming over from a distance: "Sister Shuang, I thought you wouldn't be here tonight." ”

"Why don't you come?"

"It's not these people, they are talking behind their backs, and they make people angry for no reason. Zhang Yanyu said with indignation.

"How can you control the mouths of the people, since you don't dare to say anything in front of me in person, then pretend not to hear. Compared with Zhang Yanyu's anger, Xiahou Shuang is much calmer.

"That's right, it's still Sister Shuang who thinks clearly. ”

Xiahou Shuang sat among the many ladies, indifferent to the scrutinizing gaze, and chatted casually with Xiahou Jing and Zhang Yanyu.

Tang's mother took Wang Shuwan into the palace, and the grandson succeeded to the throne smoothly, and the Tang family, as the grandson's mother's family, also raised their eyebrows.

I haven't seen Xiahou Shuang for a long time, and when Tang's mother saw someone today, she instantly thought of her daughter who died early, and the hatred in her heart surged out little by little, Wang Shuwan saw that her face was not good, and asked with concern: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Mother Tang took a deep breath, controlled her emotions and whispered: "When I saw Princess Alcohol, I thought of Xiaoxiao, this poisonous woman, Xiaoxiao died early, and now she is still sitting here, it is really unfair!"

The hatred between her mother-in-law's family and Xiahou Shuang, Wang Shuwan heard Tang's mother mention it more than once, although she had doubts in her heart, but seeing that Tang's mother's heart was deep, she was wise to shut up.

"Mother, this is the palace, no matter what, I hope that my mother can dissipate her anger, and I will talk when we go back. ”

"You're right, this is in the palace, with the support of the Queen Mother, and it's not our turn yet. Mother Tang patted Wang Shuwan's arm and said in a deep voice.

"Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to embarrass Princess Alcohol today?" The crown princess of the year has now become the queen mother, and Queen Chen has become the queen mother, the crown princess and Xiahou Shuang already have old grudges, how can they let her go.

"Hmph! Xiahou Shuang is arrogant, the alcohol prince is unruly, the husband and wife have made many enemies in the court, a generation of emperors and a generation of ministers, we just wait to see a good show. ”

Hearing Tang's mother mention Prince Alcohol, Wang Shuwan's heart was fiercely lifted, no one knew that in her heart, Xiao Xinrong had always occupied a place, and Wang Shuwan also wanted to be a good lady after marrying Tang Juntong, but Tang Juntong was cold by nature, and after getting along with each other for a long time, Wang Shuwan's heart gradually cooled down.

Knowing that it is impossible to be with Xiao Xinrong in this life, but he is still worried about him from time to time, on the day of King Chen's rebellion, he heard that Xiao Xinrong also led people to quell the chaos, Wang Shuwan was not worried about Tang Juntong, but she was afraid that Xiao Xinrong would be hurt by half a point, and she was relieved to hear that he had saved the emperor and made a contribution.

Today, when the new emperor ascended the throne, many people were looking at his jokes, but seeing him holding Xiahou Shuang's hand with a solemn expression, the two of them lived among each other, and did not put other people's eyes in their hearts, Wang Shuwan felt both happy and bitter in her heart, hoping that Xiao Xinrong could take a look at herself, even if it was a glance, she would not worry about him in vain.

After entering the hall, after placing Xiahou Shuang, Xiao Xinrong sat alone in his position, drinking the wine silently, the five princes and Xiao Shizi talked with him left and right, seeing that he just listened more and coped less.

Wang Shuwan glanced at him secretly, lest she would be noticed, so she hurriedly withdrew her gaze and pretended to be nothing.

After waiting for a long time, Emperor Jingyuan accompanied the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to the palace, everyone got up and shouted Long live, the young Emperor Jingyuan had a calm and strong dignity on his face, and raised his hand high: "Everyone is flat." ”

After all, it was as she wished, and the most noble woman in the Great Xia Kingdom was none other than the palace! Empress Chen, who had been promoted to the empress dowager, was indescribably happy in her heart.

The crown princess who became the queen mother was also proud, her son became the son of heaven, and after she was a country, she was only suppressed by the queen mother, and the queen mother did not do too much.

However, the corner of Empress Dowager Tang's eyes swept over Xiahou Shuang, and she was still indescribably proud in her heart, Xiahou Shuang! We have been fighting for so long, I can't imagine that you are still defeated in the hands of this palace, and you can't kowtow obediently when you see this palace!

Xiahou Shuang, who was leisurely tasting the delicious food, didn't know that she would be remembered by more than one person, Xiahou Jing was uneasy on the side, I heard that when the eldest sister married the prince, the current empress dowager had many obstacles, and would she take the opportunity to make trouble today.

After everyone sat down, Emperor Jing Yuan picked up his wine glass and said, "Today is the day I ascend the throne, you don't have to be restrained and have a drink. ”

"Long live my emperor!" the courtiers below raised their glasses and drank together.

Emperor Jing Yuan's eyes flashed, he looked at Xiao Xinrong and said: "Second Emperor Uncle entered the palace that day to save me and the Imperial Grandmother and Imperial Grandfather, and today I take the opportunity to express my gratitude to Second Emperor Uncle!"

Xiao Xinrong didn't expect that he would be remembered, so he sat up straight and picked up the wine glass in front of him, pinched it in his hand and said lazily: "It's all what a courtier should do, Your Majesty has a good reputation." ”

"Prince Alcohol, Your Majesty deigned to toast you, the prince still doesn't want to drink it?" Tang Jun on the side said with the corner of his lips.

"Hehe, every word and deed of the Son of Heaven is a favor, how dare Weichen disobey!" Xiao Xinrong took the wine glass and drank it all.

Tang Juntong's punch on the cotton was lightly defused by Xiao Xinrong, and the hand holding the wine glass turned red with too much force, and sat down unwillingly.

"Today is a day of celebration, there should be singing and dancing to cheer up, what do you say, Queen Mother?" said the Queen Mother with a smile.

The Empress Dowager nodded, hummed softly, and gave an order, and many young ladies below were eager to try, today's Son of Heaven ascended to the throne in a hurry, and the position of the queen of the harem was empty, and such a big temptation was coveted by the ministers who had women of appropriate age in everyone's house.

"Courtier Tang Wan'er, stroke the qin, long live Your Majesty, long live Niangniang!" A young lady from Empress Dowager Tang's maiden family came out of the crowd and said generously.

The Empress Dowager Tang bowed her head, if she wanted to be on par with the Empress Dowager in the harem, the queen's selection should come from her own people, and before the palace banquet, she told Mrs. Tang to select two outstanding women of the right age to bring to the palace.

Seeing that this woman was the first to come out to show her talent, Empress Dowager Chen had a light on her face, and at the end of the song, she was the first to take the lead in applauding.

Empress Dowager Chen's obvious intentions, how could others not know, someone on the side quietly looked at the Empress Dowager's complexion and weighed the weight of the two.

The women in the hall showed what they had learned all their lives one by one, took out the things in the box, and tried the high and low, holding their breath in their hearts to see who could arouse the idea of Emperor Jingyuan and whose family the queen's position could be.
