Chapter 1097
Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update my princess is Doubi!
Everyone in the harem knows that the Queen Mother is back. After all, it is the Queen Mother, but because of the long journey, these people dare not bother. Today is the first day we meet.
Standing beside the queen were Han Guifei, Liu Guifei, and Concubine Chen who had been assisting her in managing the six palaces, and there was a group of concubines behind, Yuanfei, Yafei and other concubines, a mighty group.
When I came to the main hall in the Empress Dowager's Palace, the Empress Dowager had already got up, sat on the main seat and waited. Seeing a group of people come in, a smile appeared on his face.
She lived in Xianyou Town for a long time, and she still missed the excitement in the palace. The following group of people also stepped forward to salute when they saw the Queen Mother.
"I have met the queen mother, and the queen mother is happy."
The queen mother nodded: "Get up and sit down."
Fortunately, her hall is big enough for these concubines to sit down. A year has passed, some faces are still familiar, but some faces are so strange.
After sitting down, the queen looked at the queen mother with a smile: "Did the queen mother enjoy playing outside this year?"
Before the Empress Dowager could speak, Concubine Chen laughed first: "Why don't you ask, look at Empress Mother, this rosy face, can't she still have fun?"
This is obviously making fun of myself as an old man, and thanks to playing in the folk for so long, I am a lot more friendly: "You two are used to laughing and mourning, but this folk is really fun."
Many concubines who said this were very curious, what kind of life did the empress dowager lead among the people?
These people never imagined that when the Queen Mother was in Xianyou Town, she often took her mother to chat with those village women. The parents were short, and they lived a very fulfilling life every day!
When Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were in Xianyou Town, they were very busy, so they didn't know that the Queen Mother would go to the foot of the mountain to chat and play with those old ladies.
When everyone saw the queen mother like this, they knew that they really thought the folks were fun. In fact, they are also very envious, but with their identities, it is basically impossible to leave the palace.
The relationship between the emperor and the empress is good, and sometimes, some concubines don't see the emperor once in a month or two, let alone serve the emperor.
After saying this, a eunuch came outside to report: "The empress dowager, the concubine is here with the son and princess."
The Queen Mother nodded and let people in directly. Qian Jiujiu walked in with a few children, and saluted the queen mother: "I have seen the queen mother, and the queen mother is good. The queen mother is auspicious."
Nannan Beibei also spoke at this time: "Greetings to the emperor's grandmother. The emperor's aunt. Greetings to all the empresses."
"I have met the queen mother, the queen mother is auspicious. The empress is a thousand years old, and all the empresses are auspicious."
The people who called the Queen Mother later were Fang Xiaoxi and Cao Suixin. This time, they can also be considered to have gained the honor of Qian Jiujiu, and they were able to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet.
After saluting one by one, the queen mother looked at Fang Xiaoxi and the two with a smile: "I just arrived in the capital, are you still used to it?"
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "I'm used to it. The Empress Dowager Lao is thinking about it. Everything is fine for Xiaoxi."
The queen mother smiled: "That's fine, if you have time, let your master bring you into the palace to pay respects to the Ai family, the Ai family likes you."
In front of so many people, he directly expressed his love for Fang Xiaoxi and Cao Suixin. Those concubines were very curious, what skills did these two little girls have to win the favor of Qian Jiujiu and the Empress Dowager.
Qian Jiujiu waved at the two of them: "Okay, you two come here."
She has a place, and Nannanbeibei was originally standing beside her, but now there are two more children, and four children standing behind her, it is somewhat noticeable.
It was Concubine Chen who couldn't help it first, and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "My lord, what skills do these two little girls have that you value? You actually accepted apprentices."
The side-by-side princess's apprenticeship is such a big matter, if people in Kyoto know about it, it may not be so easy to calm down.
Who wouldn't want to be the apprentice of the side-by-side princess, but the side-by-side princess just quietly accepted two apprentices.
It's just that these people didn't dare to bring it up, they just treated Qian Jiujiu's two apprentices, so it's unknown.
Time passed quickly, and the emperor had brought Mu Yexiao to pay his respects to the queen mother. Then we went to the banquet together.
Although it is said that holding a banquet every year is a bit extravagant in the eyes of the emperor, but the annual banquet is also a time to show the dignity of the court, so it is naturally oppressive.
It took only two or three days for Qian Jiujiu and the others to come back, and most of the people didn't even know that Qian Jiujiu and the others had returned.
All civil and military officials have already entered the palace, sitting in their respective positions, talking with people. Then I heard the voice of the eunuch: "The emperor is here, the king is here, the empress is here, the empress is here..."
After a series of salutations, the eunuch also began to breathe slightly. After all, with so many people, he read it out in one breath, and the requirements for vital capacity are really high.
When the civil and military officials heard the King and Princess, they all looked over in surprise. It is really strange to know that the side-by-side king and the side-by-side princess would come back to attend the New Year's banquet so punctually.
Everyone stood up and saluted: "Kowtow to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live, the queen mother, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years for the empress dowager, a thousand years for a thousand years for the empress, a thousand years for a thousand years for the queen, a thousand years for a thousand years for the queen, a thousand years for a thousand years for the princess. "
The emperor waved his hand: "Okay, all flattened, sit down."
The positions of Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu were on the emperor's left. Sitting on the right is the queen mother. As for the queen, she always sits on the dragon chair with the emperor.
The seats in the front row belonged to several noble concubines, and the other concubines all sat in the back seats.
The emperor looked at the dark group of people below, and was very satisfied. After everyone was seated, the eunuch shouted: "The New Year banquet begins."
Below, there were palace maids shuttled back and forth to serve food and pour wine, and it was very lively for a while. Fang Xiaoxi and Cao Suixin also had seats.
Their seats are next to each other, just beside the seats of South, North, and North. The seats in the south, north and north are also next to several princes, and together with the children of the royal family.
Mu Yeyin also came back with him this year, and was also at the annual banquet. His parents didn't come, and they also sat with Nan Nan Bei Bei.
Those who can sit in that position are all descendants of the emperor's relatives, but there are also many people sitting there.
The position after that is the position of the sons and daughters of the ministers. After Fang Xiaoxi came in, she subconsciously searched for Ling Shizi.
Instead, he exchanged a glance with Ling Shizi, and Ling Shizi smiled at Fang Xiaoxi, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but that smile, no matter how you looked at it, made people feel awkward.
Nan Nan has been paying attention to Fang Xiaoxi's behavior, so naturally she also noticed Ling Shizi. Then he saw Ling Qiniang on Ling Shizi's side, and immediately frowned.
"Xiao Xi..."
Fang Xiaoxi turned to look at Nan Nan: "What's wrong?"
Nan Nan took a deep breath and looked at Fang Xiaoxi: "I think the people from the Ling family are probably not kind. You see, the people in this hall are all the sons and daughters of various families, Ling Qiniang alone A concubine is not qualified to participate."
Having said that, Fang Xiaoxi immediately understood that it was aimed at her. Nodded: "I know, it's already like this anyway, let's take a step and see."
Just judging from the behavior of Linghou Mansion today, it shouldn't be so easy to let this matter go. Madam Ling also came today, and since she sat down, her eyes never left Fang Xiaoxi.
It quickly attracted the attention of the people around. After seeing Fang Xiaoxi, they were a little surprised: "Mrs. Ling, isn't that your Ling Qiniang? Why are you sitting there?"
Madam Ling shook her head: "That's not my Qiniang, my Qiniang is over there!"
Sure enough, when he looked at the Ling family, he saw Ling Qiniang again, which immediately aroused everyone's surprise: "Why are there two Ling Qiniangs?"
If she didn't know the truth, Mrs. Ling would really be shocked when she saw Fang Xiaoxi today. I also suspect that this is Ling Qiniang who ran out. After all, at first glance, the two people are really similar.
"That's not my Qiniang, her name is Fang Xiaoxi, and she is the apprentice of the side-by-side princess."
The apprentice who shoulders the princess? The concubines in the harem only found out about it just now, and the people in Linghou's Mansion knew about it before the news spread.
It must have something to do with that little girl: "Mrs. Ling, what's the background of that Miss Fang? She can be accepted as an apprentice by the side-by-side princess? She looks so similar to your Qiniang, so it can't be unrelated, right?"
Madam Ling smiled: "Of course it is related. That is my granddaughter too."
ah? Now the old ladies around me are really surprised: "You old woman, what's going on? How could there be an extra granddaughter?"
Of course, there was also an old lady who knew about it, and suddenly thought of something: "Your second son, have you found it?"
Mrs. Ling nodded: "It's no surprise that I found it, just waiting for confirmation. But it should be close to ten."
Saying this, even if it is not, it has to be. The other people looked at each other, Mrs. Ling's granddaughter is the apprentice of Princess Parallel, so she has something to do with the Palace of Parallel Prince.
Ever since Mu Yexiao became the side-by-side king, no matter how many people tried to get involved with the palace, they all failed. After all, to be king side by side is unattainable.
Now someone has succeeded, but it is still silent. All of a sudden, everyone became interested in Fang Xiaoxi and Cao Suixin beside her.
"The little girl next to that girl, isn't she also the apprentice of the side-by-side princess?"
This, other people do not know. But they are all starting to talk, and the side-by-side concubine likes to take in daughters, maybe girls like them also have a chance.
Many people wished they could go home now and send their girls to the palace.
