The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 109

On May [-]th, the weather gradually became sultry.

Because this year coincides with the Empress's new funeral, Xuan Jue's Longevity Festival should not be a big deal. He originally intended to observe the Empress's funeral so that the birthday banquet would not be held, but Empress Dowager Zhang refused, saying that it was a matter of joy. It's all for the previous dynasty to keep quiet, but the harem has to be lively, so there is a celebration of having a banquet in Linhua Hall today.

The Linhua Hall was built early, and it was rumored that the Linhua Hall had already been built here before the Emperor Garden City was built.

Linhua Hall was originally called the Hall of Immortals, and it is a modest temple for worshiping various immortals.

Later, when Dazhao established the capital, he chose this place to build Diyuan City, and the surrounding buildings were bulldozed, but when it was time to break ground for the Immortal Palace, the sky was suddenly filled with splendor, and the gate of the sky opened wide, as if there was a miracle.

At that time, Qin Tianjian said that this is a blessed land and should not be tampered with.Therefore, the Immortal Palace was preserved.

It’s just that the Dazhao dynasties all believed in Buddhism, so all the gods and statues enshrined inside were invited out, and the architectural style was changed. The palace was built with white pagoda stones, surrounded by ice jade sills, exquisite and clear.It also dug secret tunnels around it, drew the water from the Yuhu Lake, and renamed it "Linhua".

In the middle of the hall, there is a large feast of dragons and phoenixes, facing south. Xuanjue is sitting on it, and Empress Dowager Zhang is behind.

Concubine Zhang and Concubine Xian are the first on the left and right of the next seat, and the rest are Guo Guiren, Xiao Ying, and Chen Ying.

Concubine Xian's dress today is very eye-catching.Wearing a red neon feather coat on the upper body, with thin ribbons and white jade hanging on the double pendant, the makeup is natural and light, with a natural and good complexion. A little begonia petals are embellished between the eyebrows, which makes the whole person full of spring.

She always had a proper smile on her face, as if she had never had any rift with Xuan Jue or Queen Mother Zhang, nor had she ever been banned.

The sound of silk and bamboo orchestras sounded from far to near above the imperial lake. The concubines talked and laughed, and Empress Dowager Zhang enjoyed the singing and dancing performance in the hall.

Only Xuan Jue.Sitting at the top of the table, he looked around very conspicuously.

Seeing that it was the auspicious time for the banquet, Empress Dowager Zhang glanced back at Xuan Jue and said, "Emperor, the time has come."

Her voice was not low, but Xuan Jue didn't seem to hear it, still staring at the entrance of the hall.

"Emperor!" Empress Dowager Zhang deliberately raised her voice and coughed twice, which attracted Xuan Jue's attention.

"Ah? Mother, what's the matter?"

Empress Dowager Zhang held back her anger, and said calmly: "The auspicious time has come, let's have a banquet."

"Wait, wait, wait." Xuan Jue didn't even look at Queen Mother Zhang, but just stared outside the door, his eyes almost popping out.

Empress Dowager Zhang's irritable temper suddenly came up, she frowned a hill, tapped her index finger knuckles on the banquet table twice, and said in a high voice: "What are you waiting for?"

Seeing that she was annoyed, Xuan Jue looked away at her, "Concubine Hua hasn't come yet" His tone was full of disappointment.

"Is today the emperor's birthday or her concubine Hua's birthday? How can there be a reason why a king of a country waits for a woman? Liu Qi and Qingzhu have visited Fengyi Palace twice, have you seen anyone?" said Queen Mother Zhang Yue Angrier, he leaned back on the chair and sneered, "If she cares about you, like Concubine Zhang and Guo Guiren, didn't she come to Linhua Hall to wait early in the morning? If she doesn't care about you, it's not a matter of everything Don't take it to heart, even your birthday banquet can be delayed."

Xuan Jue was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, how could Jin'er not care about me? Maybe, maybe she's sick?" After saying that, she got up from her seat and started to walk out the door.

"Stop for Aijia!"

The roar of Queen Mother Zhang fixed everyone's eyes on Xuan Jue.

Empress Dowager Zhang got up from her desk, furiously said: "Is the emperor bewildered by Concubine Hua and become a fool? The concubines of Aijia and Mandian are happy to congratulate you on your birthday. How about you, leave the stall and go to find her? The emperor today If you dare to take a step out of Linhua Palace, Aijia will never come again on your Longevity Day!"

The mother and son quarreled like this in front of many palace people, and their faces were completely ugly.

Concubine Zhang got up and walked to Empress Dowager Zhang, took her arm and said with a smile: "Auntie, cousin is just talking, he can really go~~ Is it cousin?" Concubine Zhang teased Eyebrows, the already narrow eyes became a slit.

Xuan Jue knew Queen Mother Zhang's uncompromising temperament, so even though he had Chu Jin in his heart, he could only sit in his seat and dare not leave the table.

Concubine Xian went to Xuanjue's side and persuaded: "The emperor still values ​​the queen mother in his heart, today."

"Let's open the table." Before Concubine Xian could finish speaking, Xuan Jue abruptly cut off his words, and she didn't even glance at her. Concubine Xian stood awkwardly beside Xuan Jue, and stood there for a long time before bowing and retreating. Down.

There were 86 dishes in the banquet, and the palace people presented the delicacies like flowing water.

Concubine Zhang stared at the dishes with stars in her eyes, hurriedly toasted Xuan Jue with a glass of wine, then opened her chopsticks, and started the dining mode of 'Wind Passing'.

She only has food in her eyes, and everyone else wants to be the first at this birthday banquet, so that Xuan Jue will be special to her.

Guo Guiren, Xiao Ying, and Chen Ying each presented their own gifts, but Xuanjue still stared at the door obsessively, without even looking at the presents, he said "I have a heart" and ordered Liu Qi to keep it.

Empress Dowager Zhang coughed at Concubine Zhang for a long while before she put down the chopsticks in her hand, and gave Xuan Jue a dragon tablet made of pure gold with a trembling as she walked.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at it in amazement, "Hey, even the most top-notch goldsmith in the manufacturing office would have to spend three or four months of work on this work? Concubine Zhang really put her heart into it."

Empress Dowager Zhang made it clear that she wanted to open the way for Concubine Zhang, but Concubine Zhang sat back and waved a greasy goose leg with her bare hands, "That's not true, but father bought it at a huge price!"

As soon as she said these words, Empress Dowager Zhang's heart suddenly turned half cold.

She is a muddy niece who can't support the wall.
Suddenly, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras stopped, replaced by the harmony of Chang Xiao and Guqin.

Everyone was wondering where this beautiful beauty came from, Guo Guiren looked around and couldn't see Xianfei, so he wondered: "Huh? Where is Xianfei?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a woman with a gauze covering her face, a graceful figure, and a peach-red water-sleeved dress scurrying into the center of the hall.

Her appearance stopped the noise of Linhua Hall.There was a faint fragrance of gardenia in the air, as if it emanated from the water sleeves that the woman was waving.

She danced happily to the ups and downs of the music, her broad sleeves fluttering like clouds in the setting sun.

Sometimes it jumps up into the air, sometimes it bends its willow waist, sometimes it spins in small steps, and sometimes it plays with its sleeves like waves.

She is like a delicate and beautiful bird, flying freely in Linhua Hall.

Everyone stared blankly until after the dance, they saw her take off her veil slowly.

Qian smiled as before, looking forward with clever eyes, and it was none other than the concubine Xian who had quietly left the table just now.
