Chapter 321 Birthday Banquet

Although the banquet was not a big event, there were many officials and their family members of the second rank and above from the court, including people from the clan, and there were quite a few of them.

The banquet will be held in the Treasure Hall.

This fourth prince's first birthday banquet was the first happy event held in the palace since Pei Yao ascended the throne.

Pei Yao has been in a bad mood recently due to the border war. Today, he is rarely smiling, and the ministers are feeling much more relaxed.

Of course, it is also more obvious that the emperor loves Concubine Zhao and his love for the fourth prince.

Fang Yun dressed up specially today.

Wearing a pine green brocade palace dress, a bun with clouds in the sky, a set of emerald hair and face, a few fine pearl hairpins, and a pair of southern pearl earrings, the outfit is dignified and elegant, yet elegant and elegant.

Her status is different, so naturally she is no longer suitable to be charming and pretty, and she has to show her magnanimity as an emperor's concubine.

Otherwise, you will not be able to convince others. If you go to higher places in the future, there will always be people gossiping.

Sure enough, her palace attire today made many guests at the banquet look at her with admiration.

This saying always makes sense.

Of course, it's not that my clothes weren't good enough before, it's just that I wasn't as dignified and steady as I am now.

Even Pei Yao couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

There is a vague feeling in my heart that a daughter has grown up in my family.

But today's protagonist is not Fang Jun, but our fourth prince.

So for the next topic, the guests revolved around praising the Fourth Prince.

After chatting with the guests for a while, Pei Yao shifted his gaze to Fang Yun.

"Concubine Zhao has worked really hard raising the two children. Both the queen and I have noticed it. Today is the fourth prince's first birthday. I would like to offer you a toast."

As these words came out, the eyes of everyone present were directed towards him, either explicitly or covertly.

The emperor and the queen smiled and toasted together, and Concubine Zhao also stood up respectfully and drank the wine in the glass.

That's all. Fang Yun filled it up himself and turned to the queen.

"Today's fourth prince's birthday banquet was all managed by the queen, so it went smoothly. I don't know anything, so I can only worry about it. With this glass of wine, I would like to express my respect to you."

"You have always understood the rules. The fourth prince is also smart and cute. I like you very much. You should handle these things as you should. You don't have to be so formal."

The queen smiled and drank the cup with dignity.

Turning around, the queen said to Pei Yao again.

"Your Majesty, in the harem, Concubine Zhao is the best in terms of gentleness, thoughtfulness, attentiveness and wisdom. On such a big day like today, the Emperor must reward Concubine Zhao well to show consideration for her hard work in raising children."

Fang Yoon was a little surprised that the queen would take the initiative to ask for rewards for her.

But at this moment, Pei Yao had already smiled and nodded.

"The Queen is right, Concubine Zhao, if you want any reward, just tell me."

What you want is, of course, promotion.

But the higher up the imperial concubine position is the imperial concubine, which is not something you can just go up to.

Either you have to survive the qualifications, have another child, or make a meritorious service, and then when the child is older, the child will earn it for you. Now, it is definitely unrealistic.

Then
Fang Yun's eyes moved slightly and passed over Wan Liangyuan's body. He immediately had an idea and said softly.

"It is my duty to bear and raise children for the Emperor, and I should not ask for rewards. However, the Emperor and the Queen are of the same mind, and I dare not live up to it. After thinking about it, I really have what I want, but Not for my concubine, but for the beauty of Song Dynasty."

"Song Meiren?"

Pei Yao was slightly surprised.

Not only her, but everyone present, including Song Meiren herself, was surprised.

"Yes."

Fang Yun nodded calmly and said calmly. "I am in poor health. When I was pregnant with the fourth prince, Song Meiren often helped me take care of the second princess. After entering the palace, I often came to Yuzhang Palace to help. I saw her hard work. Therefore, I want to ask for a favor and a promotion for the beauty of Song Dynasty."

When she said this, the queen glanced at her and followed suit.

"Speaking of it, Song Meiren and Concubine Zhao also entered the East Palace together, and their time serving the emperor is not short. It is indeed time for them to be promoted to this position."

These were small things in the first place, and Pei Yao never refused.

In addition, the Queen also said this, so Pei Yao nodded calmly.

"Then according to your wishes, Song Meiren can be promoted to Liangyuan."

"My concubine thanks the emperor."

Fang Yun smiled and bowed.

Immediately afterwards, Song Liangyuan also woke up from a dream and quickly stood up to salute and thank her.

In this way, she will be on an equal footing with Wan Liangyuan.

As expected, the expression on Wan Liangyuan's face sitting aside was not very good at the moment.

After she was demoted, she has not moved yet. She has been promoted back again, but Song has done nothing, just following Fang Yun to play soy sauce, and he is just like her.

And it vaguely makes people feel that as long as Fang Yun is there, Song Liangyuan can continue to rise.

This feeling made Wan Liangyuan feel extremely sick.

It seems that she will never be able to catch up with Fang Yun, and can only be the same as Fang Yun's followers.

Thinking of this, Wan Liangyuan couldn't help but look at Concubine Yang who was sitting beside Fang Yun.

At this moment, Wan Liangyuan began to regret being involved with Concubine Yang.

The last time she was in deep trouble and forced to be demoted and grounded, Concubine Yang didn't say a word for her.

She wasn't stupid, and she could see later that Concubine Yang was probably also looking forward to her demotion, so she could handle it.

Therefore, in her heart, she regarded Concubine Yang as an alliance partner, but Concubine Yang wanted to train her as a pawn in her hands.

Even though they were chess pieces, they were not as good as Fang Yun to Song Liangyuan.

Squeezing the handkerchief in her hand, Wan Liangyuan had another idea in her mind.

Little did he know that the effect Fang Yun wanted was exactly the same.

But at this moment Fang Yun is not in a hurry to verify, she still has more important things to do.

Neither Yang nor Wan Liangyuan can escape.

When the fourth prince captured Zhou, Fang Jun took advantage of the good atmosphere to stand up and say that he would exchange the gift received today for cash and donate it to the army to subsidize food and grass.

This matter was discussed with Pei Yao long ago, and the queen also knew about it.

Therefore, the queen also generously donated her share, saying that today was the fourth prince's first birthday party, so she would also donate 6 taels in the name of the fourth prince.

For a time, all the guests present praised the Queen for her virtuousness and Concubine Zhao's kindness. Even the fourth prince was praised like a flower.

And Concubine Yang stood nearby, her whole body about to explode.

It was also belatedly cursing in my heart, no wonder the queen didn't say that she would donate money that day, so it turned out that she wanted to show off with Fang's bitch today!
5 taels, 5 taels, it was like wasting money. The emperor didn't even stay for one night. Concubine Yang's heart was bleeding and she was so angry that she went crazy.

He didn't hold back at all. Before the banquet was over, he said that his chest hurt and left first.

Once he returns to Zhongcui Palace, he will be beaten.

"Fang's hooves, together with that bitch Lu Yuehua, are always against me. I really feel that I am easy to bully. This time I let them take advantage of me. I must let them know that there is nothing like this in the world." So good and cheap!”

　Fang Yun: I just donated money.

　　Queen: Me too

　　Concubine Yang: Who am I?
