The blind date banquet that the queen and the concubine have discussed for a long time...... Officially, the Wenhui called for by Princess Zhaoqing was held three days later by the lotus pond in the mountain behind the palace.

Regarding the selection of the location, the concubines had a heated discussion.

In the end, in addition to the large place, wide vision, pleasant scenery, and far away from the concubine's residence, there is one of the most important places, that is, although the ancient trees are towering and green, the terrain is generally very flat.

The Zezhi Building, which was originally built to overlook the lotus pond, was equipped with a veil to hide behind it and spy on most of the banquet scenes.

No matter how good it is, there is no secret observation.

After all, this banquet is held for the children's lifelong events, and it is impossible for these elders to stay at the banquet all the time, so that the younger generations can't let go, so what else can they observe?

"It's just that this time I didn't invite their elders, is it inconvenient to ask?" Originally, the concubine's proposal was to use Princess Xincheng as the reason that she was about to marry far away, and it was natural to walk around with many close friends in the boudoir before leaving.

It's just that Xie Kuo, the princess of Xincheng, is also a girl with more ideas, in the end, she came from a humble background and was raised in the palace, and it is impossible to say that she acted recklessly. Second, it is only convenient to invite women, but it is not convenient to invite men.

So after careful discussion, it was vetoed.

After that, the queen and the concubine's plan was to invite the elders and daughters of the Gaomen nobles and the new scholars in the imperial capital to the banquet, and when the time came, the concubines and the elders together, and the princess and the prince and the younger generations observed each other.

But after discussion, it was changed to Princess Zhaoqing as the leader, and of course the people invited were all unmarried and just the right age of Gaomen.

In this way, the elders of these people were all stopped.

At this moment, Concubine De was a little entangled, and whispered, "In case the child itself is good, but the mother and sister-in-law at home are not a good match, this is ......"

"What does that matter?" Gu Zhen disagreed, "No matter how difficult it is, it is also for ordinary people, royal blood, can they be presumptuous?" ”

Concubine De immediately looked at Yun Fenghuan, Yun Fenghuan actually thought so, but Concubine De was her person after all, and asked the queen to touch a soft nail in public, she couldn't still follow the queen's words, it seemed that she was afraid of the queen.

At the moment, he said lightly: "Isn't this banquet going to be held this year, it is a lifelong event related to the emperor's heirs, how can it be easily decided?" There is no need to investigate again and again. It's the same to see the children first, wait for the next time, and see the elders again. After all, the elders are present, maybe something happened, and they came back? There are no elders here today, even if there is guidance in advance, when the time comes, let's go through a few problems, and we can see how their own talents have changed, wouldn't it be good? ”

"It's still Sister Guifei who is thoughtful." When Concubine De heard this, she hurriedly praised it, and looked at the queen as if intentionally or unintentionally.

Gu Zhen sneered slightly, he didn't bother to be angry with Concubine De, and only said, "That's it." close

In the title, the palace and the concubine, the concubine, and the concubine each have one. Think about it for the past two days. ”

So on the day when the feast began, the lotus pond was full of fragrant clothes and shadows, and the nobles were like clouds.

Princess Zhaoqing, who is simply the master today, has been used to being in the limelight since she was a child, and she is used to being the master, both in terms of identity and temperament, although it was a little messy at first, but it quickly calmed down. Looking down from Zezhi Tower, it was orderly.

Men and women each occupy one side of the seat, all of them are beautiful and beautifully dressed, and they are not pleasing to the eye.

It's just that even though she is fat and thin, and her demeanor is different, Princess Zhaoqing, who is in the main position, is still a well-deserved pearl, no matter her appearance or demeanor, she can easily crush anyone present.

So much so that the eyes of many teenagers couldn't help but linger on her, and their love was dark.

Although the queen and other concubines have always been very resentful, they have been able to be favored for many years, and when they look at it at such a time, they have to admit that she is indeed very good at training children.

Because if you talk about beauty alone, in fact, she is also the seventh princess born by Yi Xingen, and she is not much worse than her sister...... These two sisters with the same father and mother have very similar appearances, and they are the kind of sisters who know at a glance that they are sisters.

But the Seven Princesses have certainly dressed up with their hearts today, wearing a peach-red bottom embroidered oleander pinched gold silk narrow sleeve short undergarment, tied a phoenix tail skirt, combed a double snail bun, and the hairpin ring on her head is bright, gorgeous and gorgeous, looking like a rich flower in the world, but it is still annihilated in many elaborate dresses, and there is no eye-catching Zhaoqing standing out from the crowd at all.

"This palace still remembers the appearance of the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's eldest daughter when the moon was full." At this time, the banquet was opened, and everyone was polite, except for their appearance, there was nothing to look at.

In Zezhi Building, the concubines took a few looks, and then sat down first, and after the three rounds of wine, the atmosphere became lively, and then looked at the details.

It's just that the queen suddenly spoke, and said with some wistfulness, "That day seems to be still in front of me, and in a blink of an eye, the children are going to get married." ”

She sighed lightly, reluctantly but had to admit, "This palace is getting old before you know it." ”

"What did the queen say?" Although Yun Fenghuan and other concubines of the enemy party often said that the queen was "that old thing" in private, in front of her at the moment, she still had to be persuaded by pretending, "Niangniang is in her prime, but where is she old?" I don't believe that someone took a mirror to see, isn't Niangniang still the national color and fragrance when she entered the palace as a concubine? ”

Of course, this is talking nonsense with his eyes open, Gu Zhen was elected to the palace back then, and he was in a high position, although he mainly relied on his family background, and his appearance was not bad.

But over the years, I have experienced a lot of exhaustion, Huafa was born early, and the best beauty measures at the moment can't keep the haggard at the corners of the eyes and eyebrows.

The most important thing is that after frequent defeats, the heart has been hit one after another, and the fresh and flying spirit of the girl has long been lost, in addition to the grace and luxury cultivated by years of pampering, it is the exhaustion that is trying to hide.

While everyone comforted the queen, they also subconsciously went to see Yun Fenghuang.

Counting that this favorite concubine entered the palace at the age of fifteen, it has been thirteen years since now, and it is also the year of her imminent establishment.

If you want to say that she looks like a girl, of course, it's unlikely, after all, she is also a mother.

Just looking at the pink cheeks, full of energy, and completely open eyebrows, although it is not the delicate and lovely of a girl, it is just the charm and elegance of an adult woman.

She is wearing a light blue palace dress today, and her skin is fairer and more delicate, like congealed frozen jade, and she is radiant.

…… It is no wonder that the Son of Heaven is still in great favor to this day.

couldn't help but peek at Concubine An again......

To be honest, Concubine An will come to Zezhi Tower today, which is quite a surprise to the people of the Sixth Palace.

It's not that she is specifically rejected, but because this master has been tossed several times, and now he has no heirs under his knees.

This kind of banquet was held purely to find a spouse for the imperial heirs, what did she come here for?

Are you still thinking about the soft-hearted and filial Six Princes, or do you come to watch the excitement?

It is also a coincidence that Concubine An is also wearing a green skirt today, but it is pine green.

This color was originally extremely white.

Among the many concubines of Chunjia, Yuan Neem Niang's appearance has never been considered superior. But because of his good background, there is no problem with gray skin and black hair. A few years ago, due to many things, it was said that her face was damaged, and the news spread for a long time, and there has been no accurate word. But judging from the fact that she is also wearing a veil indoors at the moment, covering her entire face tightly, it is eighty percent true.

At this moment, this pine green only lined her neck.

It's pretty white.

But that kind of whiteness is not the whiteness of Min Guifei's skin, but lifeless, with the exhaustion and depression accumulated over the years, and there is no vitality.

"Concubine An is also old...... the queen couldn't help but think like this, "too, she seems to be many years older than Concubine Min as she is in the palace...... All these years have not been happy. Cui Shufei too. ”

Since Chunjia became pro-government, Cui Shufei, who was not high-profile, has become more and more low-key.

She wore a crimson dress today, and her hairpin ring showed traces of her efforts.

At this moment, listening to everyone's sighs, he just smiled quietly, and didn't say a word.

Obviously, the memory of being beaten in the palace fight is still fresh.

"Niangniang, don't say that you are old, you are the same age as Your Majesty." The concubines fell into the atmosphere of reminiscing about the past, and Zezhi Lou was melancholy for a while.

Or Yun Fenghuang smiled and rounded, "Your Majesty is in full bloom, aren't you too?" ”

These words made everyone awe-inspiring.

That's right, Gu Zhen is the same age as Chun Jia.

If Gu Zhen is old, isn't the emperor also old? For an emperor who thinks he is in the prime of life, what is your intention when you say that he is old?

Especially Chunjia has not yet established a prince, and he is not young at this time, it is difficult not to arouse the instinct of a son of heaven to defend the throne.

"Niangniang taste this water chestnut, bottom

What people fish out of the lotus pond is sweet. Next to her, the concubine stuffed the peeled water chestnut to the queen, and gave it to the concubine, "The concubine also took a look." The water on this mountain is good, and the aquatic products raised taste good. ”

Finally diverted the topic.

Next, no one dared to talk about the age anymore, but they had the ambition to talk about the outstanding children who went to the banquet today.

"The concubine just saw Miss Jue in a flash, is Miss Jue also among the banquets today?" Concubine De took the lead in asking, "The concubine remembers that the golden hairpin inlaid with precious jade and turtle title was originally a thing in the palace, and it was given to Miss Jue by the mother?" ”

The queen bowed slightly: "It's Jue'er." Earlier, she accidentally bumped into the eleventh princess, and although Concubine Jing was magnanimous and didn't care, the child was still very guilty. I couldn't sleep in the palace for several days and nights, and finally asked myself to go back to reflect, and when the palace saw her sincerity, it was approved. These days, she stayed in the house, copied a lot of scriptures for the eleventh princess to pray for blessings, and yesterday she asked someone to send them to the palace, planning to send them to Concubine Jing later. ”

Concubine Jing's eleventh princess is still young, and she hasn't come over today.

In fact, even if the eleventh princess is young, she can come over first to inquire about some news.

After all, the princess also grows up quickly.

The key is that this is this occasion, but anyone who has a brain knows that don't look at the queen and the concubine at this time, laughing and getting along.

After a while, I can't say that I will turn my face.

If you have an older child under your knees, you can't be present for the lifelong events of your heirs, and if you don't have it, or if your child is still young, you want to hide a little bit if you have a little brain.

At this moment, Concubine Jing thanked him on the spot and praised Gu Jue's virtuous and kind-hearted virtue, but there were also others who casually praised Gu Jue, which can be regarded as revealing the injury of the eleventh princess.

The next person to be mentioned was Concubine Shu's niece.
