Return after the phoenix falls

Chapter 90
The harem was full of joy, all singing and dancing for the Empress Dowager's birthday ceremony. The Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday ceremony should have been organized extensively, but the Empress Dowager's words should not be extravagant and wasteful. Therefore, the Empress, Concubine Wan, Concubine Xiao and others followed the emperor's order and made sure to use The Empress Dowager's birthday ceremony is frugal and novel.

In the past few days, instead of the chilly weather when the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, it returned to the heat of summer, making people unable to lift their spirits.

After paying her respects at the Sunset Palace, the Empress left Concubine Wan and Concubine Xiao to discuss the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.

"The reason for keeping the two of you today is to discuss the Empress Dowager's birthday. The Empress Dowager is kind and does not want to spend too much. As concubines, we must try our best to satisfy the wishes of the Empress Dowager and her elders, and do our best."

The phoenix sat on it, and the queen spoke solemnly, her face full of majesty.As a queen whose real power has been weakened by half, now she can only use the role of queen to suppress the people under her, otherwise, she will be underestimated as a queen.

Concubine Wan has changed her previous high-profile and low-key behavior since she was cut off from the imperial concubine position. For the birthday banquet, I want to buy a baby in front of the queen mother, so it's good.

"Your Majesty's words are very true. As concubines, we should be filial to the Empress Dowager." Concubine Wan raised her head, seeing Concubine Xiao smiling and not speaking, her heart was blocked, she bowed her head to see nothing.

"So, apart from the Shang Shusheng's worrying about this matter, we have to think of novel ways to make the Queen Mother's birthday banquet special."

When the two heard this, they stopped talking, and seemed to be thinking with their heads down. The queen was not in a hurry, and just waited quietly. Sing a few operas and invite some orders to celebrate together. The queen mother must be familiar with these things. The concubine heard that there is a kind of acrobatics outside the palace that is very popular with the people. We can invite acrobats to perform in the palace on the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the Empress Dowager will definitely be very interested."

"Concubine Xiao's idea is good, but those acrobatics are loved by the common people, so if they are performed in the palace, is there any harm to the dignity?" As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Wan poured a glass of cold water coldly.

Concubine Xiao was not angry either, she still replied respectfully: "The Empress Dowager has always loved the people like a child, if she can share happiness with the people, I believe that she will be very happy!"

"But the folks are mixed with good and bad people. If there are villains with malicious intentions and want to sneak into the palace with bad intentions, what should we do!"

"This is easy to handle. Send people out of the palace to inquire in detail. In addition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will strictly investigate. It may not be easy for bad people to enter the palace."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was getting worse, the queen said at the right time: "Okay, I think Concubine Xiao's method is good, and those who enter the palace will definitely be strictly interrogated. What's more, now that the world is peaceful, there are no villains who dare to harbor evil intentions." !"

The queen paused for a moment, and seeing that Concubine Wan's face was no longer rosy, she smiled again and said, "The two of you have been very tired about the birthday banquet. After the birthday banquet, the emperor will reward you for your merits. Let's stop here today, my lord." It's time to see how Shang Shuxing's arrangements are going. Kneel down."

Concubine Wan couldn't stay any longer, so they knelt down and walked out of the hall together.

"Concubine Xiao must pay attention to this idea. If something happened that day, Concubine Xiao must have the courage to bear the consequences." Concubine Wan cast a contemptuous glance at Concubine Xiao beside her, and said coldly.

Concubine Xiao was still smiling like a flower, and said gently: "I don't need Concubine Wan to worry about this, the Empress Empress will decide on this matter, and the concubines only come up with ideas, and in the end it will be decided by Empress Empress, Concubine Wan still has the energy to work on this I am tongue-in-cheek, why don't you go back to the palace and think about how to make the Queen Mother happy."
