The queen is alluring

Chapter 331

This time, the banquet was held in two places, because the empress had just reached the full moon and could not meet the officials, so she could only accompany all the concubines to the banquet in the inner palace. On the side, there was Li Taiyi who accompanied her at any time, pointing out the things that should be avoided. Eat food, to prevent someone from plotting against the law, and also afraid that the queen will hurt her body by eating something that cannot be eaten when she is out of the moon.

The sky was getting darker, and the palace was covered with heavy snow, but in the furnace of Lingxiao Hall, bright red flames licked the charcoal, and bursts of warm air rolled in the hall, surging to dispel the chill of the twelfth lunar month.

In the main hall, most of the concubines in the harem were already full, but they were completely unknown. There was a golden nanmu phoenix couch next to Yun Qing's side, and there was a royal concubine couch under the couch. It was prepared for the Queen Mother and Concubine Fu, but today, these two people should not come.

Sure enough, when the banquet was about to begin, Bizhu from Jianzhang Palace came in a hurry, and stood outside the hall like a cloud leaning over her body, as if she didn't even have the guts to step into the Lingxiao Palace, and her voice was extremely timid and soft, saying: " The servant girl reported to the Empress Empress that she could not come to the banquet because of Concubine Fu's health, and the Empress Dowager was worried that the Empress Dowager was resting alone, so she could not come. Congratulations, may the empress and empress spread more branches and leaves for the royal family, and may His Royal Highness the crown prince be blessed with happiness and peace, and a long life without bounds."

The silence in the hall was depressing, and Man'er glared at Bi Zhu angrily, because this was clearly an attempt to give the Queen a bad blow.But Yun Qing smiled magnanimously. To her, the Queen Mother did not come to disrupt the situation in person on this festive day. : "Since the imperial concubine is in poor health and the queen mother is worried, there is no need to force it. The concubine thanks the queen mother for her kindness, and also thanks grandma for the prince's blessings."

Bi Zhu's face was startled, as if she was surprised why Yun Qing didn't make things difficult, after all, the queen mother didn't even come to have a grandson herself, for the queen, this matter is a matter of embarrassment, but she didn't dare to overdo it Guessing, but immediately responded: "This servant will definitely bring the words of the empress, and this servant will leave..."

After Bi Zhu left, Yun Qing said to Man'er beside him, "Let's have a feast."

"Yes" Man'er responded, then stood up, clapped his palms, and immediately inside and outside the main hall, countless maids in blue dresses holding delicious delicacies stepped out of the inner hall one after another, swaying in front of every banquet. Exquisite dim sum, dishes and vintage wines are presented.

Concubine Fu is not here, and there are no concubines with higher grades in the harem, so the few people closest to Yun Qing are Li Meiren, Chang Meiren and a few other beauties, followed by Cai Nu and Ba Zi, and those newcomers to the palace. Dozens of beautiful and slightly shy show girls, they have no titles so far because of an incident with the show girls last time, they can only be regarded as young masters, and sitting on the high seats on both sides A few old concubines.

"Today the crown prince is full moon, and my palace has set up a bouquet of wine to entertain you in the Lingxiao Palace. Please don't be disgusted, let's have a banquet." Yun Qing glanced at the crowd who were all promising, and said flatly.

But Man'er saw that everyone was reserved and there was no atmosphere of a banquet at all, so he followed suit and said with a smile: "Young masters, please use it." Girls come in every step of the way, singing and dancing.

A banquet begins almost silently, and it is also a lonely banquet.From the beginning to the end, except for singing and dancing, there was no sound in the hall.Many concubines and concubines were sent away by Eunuch Zhao. Looking around, although a lot of food was used, it didn't look like a banquet at all.

Because, Yun Qing's notoriety has already spread in the harem, and everyone knows it. If you dare to ask a queen who even defeated the queen mother of the dynasty, now she has given birth to the first prince of the dynasty and was canonized as the crown prince. Who dares to offend?In fact, those concubines didn't even dare to move their chopsticks at first, but they ate some of these delicacies because they had probably never seen them in their entire lives.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the sneer on Yun Qing's lips froze. The queen mother seemed to have already started to lay out a plan, otherwise why would she be so difficult for her on this big day?
"The empress is still so charming after giving birth. She is indeed the most beautiful woman with a golden collar, who can hold the emperor's heart." In the quiet hall, a soft and smiling voice broke the peace of the room, but this voice made those Those who had already stepped out of the hall stopped in fright and turned their heads frequently, but in the end everyone was frightened and left quickly. They were afraid that Yun Qing would suddenly become angry and punish them.

The person who spoke was Chang Meiren, her face was flushed, and as soon as she finished her words, she was already carrying a pot of wine on the white marble steps on the couch, walked to Yun Qing's side without any etiquette, and stared at the prince at the side of the nanny After a long while, he didn't move his eyes until the dense moisture rose from his eye sockets, and then took another sip of wine, and praised with a smile: "His Royal Highness is so handsome, look at those majestic eyebrows, it's almost as good as the emperor's." Similarly, it's a pity that such beautiful children don't have many children. Queen, you have to work harder in the future, and let us see more about the manners of the princes and princesses. We also want to know, as touching as the queen Whether the posture of majesty is natural, or it was carefully taught by the cold face, it will be easy to talk about in the future."

Chang Meiren seemed to be outspoken today, but every sentence was very heartwarming, and Li Meiren, who followed her closely to help her shake her body, smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you are just jealous of the queen's beauty. And Weiyi? Don't hold back, we can be regarded as His Royal Highness's mother and concubine, so don't let His Royal Highness laugh at you."

Man'er laughed out loud when he heard this, and Yun Qing also smiled a little, but they hadn't been teasing the prince for a while, and there was another sound of footsteps outside the hall, and when everyone looked back, they saw that they were wearing heavy court clothes , Eunuch Zhao who came on snow.

When Eunuch Zhao saw that the guests in the Lingxiao Palace had dispersed, he was startled for a while, and his expression was a little surprised, but when he saw Lu Cainu and others, he changed into a smile again, because Li Meiren, Hua Meiren and Lu Cainu should She was considered to be the most comfortable woman in the harem, so he stepped into the hall, and greeted her: "The servant sees the empress, and greets the two beauties and young ladies."

"I follow the imperial decree of the emperor to take His Highness the Crown Prince to the Jinluan Hall." Eunuch Zhao said, he stepped up the stone steps with a smile, and hugged the young prince from the nanny, while Lu Cainv, who hadn't seen the prince yet, said: " Manager Zhao didn't come early or late, but he chose to come here to hug the prince at this time, it's really abominable, I haven't even seen what His Royal Highness is like."
