Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

"You and I, sisters, no need to be polite, let's go in."

Yin Qingxuan is also dressed very elegantly. She wears a light yellow skirt with no decorations on it and only a small flower on her head. On the contrary, she looks fresh and refined, with an unearthly beauty. She is also comparable to Xu Zhiyuan, who is dressed in simple and elegant clothes. complement each other.

She took Xu Zhiyuan's hand, smiled slightly, and entered the palace gate with her.

Seeing that the two of them had such a good relationship, all the young masters couldn't help but feel envious.

The relationship between Xu Zhiyuan and Concubine Yao is so good. If she can get the support of Concubine Yao, meeting the emperor will be a piece of cake.

Chu Lingyu was naturally very envious, thinking that she had spent a lot of money on this Yao Concubine. Now that she had become a concubine, it was as if she didn't even know her.

Not only did she feel a little resentful, but the money was really wasted. If I had known better, I wouldn't have given it to her if I had bought something to feed the dog.

Yin Qingxuan has no intention of flattering the superiors and suppressing the inferiors, but there are too many people and there is no way to cover everything.

And she really feels sorry for Xu Zhiyuan. Because of her eldest brother, she can be regarded as loving the whole family.

The two held hands and walked into the Cining Palace together. Lu Jingxian was already standing next to the Queen Mother, her mouth opening and closing, not knowing what she was saying.

Yin Qingxuan just smiled faintly at this and said, "Just do whatever you want." She waved her hand and asked Nanny Li to put the birthday cake on the table.

What Xu Zhiyuan gave as a gift was a set of Luo skirts that she had sewn by herself. The workmanship was very exquisite, and the stitches were fine and dense, even more exquisite than those made with a sewing machine. It was embroidered with colorful flying phoenixes, spreading their wings and about to fly, so lifelike that you could tell they were flowers. A lot of effort.

Someone immediately shouted: "Little Master Xu of Shuiyun Pavilion is giving me a Feifeng robe."

The eunuch in charge of the gift didn't recognize the thing and asked in a low voice: "What is this?"

Aunt Li smiled and said, "This is a birthday cake carefully made by our mother-in-law."

The eunuch glanced at it, moved his index finger, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "The concubine Yao of Jinwu Palace is giving me a piece of birthday cake."

Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help but glance at the cake.

Yin Qingxuan whispered: "If you have two days free, I will give you a piece to try."

"Don't bother me, Madam. I just admired the exquisite workmanship of the cakes."

Yin Qingxuan said in her heart that this was not exquisite. There were many beautiful cakes in the Points Mall, but she was reluctant to exchange them.

After all, cake is not a necessity, so replace it with something useful so that space is not wasted.

The two of them chose an inconspicuous seat and sat down. Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help but said: "You are the empress, you should not sit here."

Yin Qingxuan shrugged. "It's just a formality. It's the same everywhere."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "The Emperor is here!"

Everyone immediately parted ways.

Ye Jingyu, dressed in royal robes, walked in from outside.

The bright yellow color is like a sun, dazzling and dazzling. Combined with that extremely handsome face, it attracts everyone's attention at once.

Everyone immediately stood up to pay homage. "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

Ye Jingyu walked straight to the Queen Mother.

"My son, I see my mother, and I wish my mother to be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains. This is the Polygonum multiflorum that I have been looking for for my mother for thousands of years. I wish my mother to have a beautiful life, day by day."

Although the two of them had fallen out, they were still a loving mother and a filial son in front of the ministers.

The Queen Mother supported her with both hands: "The Ai family likes it very much. The Emperor is interested!"

While talking, Ye Jingyao also walked in.

He walked quickly to the Queen Mother, lifted up his robe, knelt down, and kowtowed three times respectfully.

"My son, I have visited the Queen Mother and wish her happiness, health, longevity and longevity."

He held out a string of huge pearls and handed them to the Queen Mother.

"It is said that grinding this material into powder can resist wrinkles. I hope my mother will like it."

Seeing her biological son, the Queen Mother's face suddenly showed a bright smile.

"You and I, mother and son, don't have to give this big gift. My mother likes all the things you gave me. Yao'er, please get up quickly."

Ye Jingyao stood up holding the Queen Mother's arm and stood with his hands down.

Ye Zhan, who came in next, was dressed in a crimson brocade robe. His handsome face and tall figure immediately aroused a burst of whispers from the female family members.

Ye Zhan frowned slightly, walked almost to the Queen Mother, bowed and said, "Ye Zhan congratulates the Queen Mother on her birthday."

Then he sent his congratulatory gift, a picture of pine and crane prolonging life embroidered with gold thread.

The Queen Mother smiled lightly and said, "The Ai family will be very happy that our Thirteenth Brother can come. There is no need for such a generous gift. Come and take a seat."

The courtiers also filed in with congratulatory gifts and took their seats according to their official positions.

Just as Cui Hai was about to announce the start of the banquet, a Buddhist chant suddenly sounded at the door.

A monk wearing white robes and cassock walked in from the door.

This person is 38. Nine years old, with a handsome face and a solemn appearance. He holds a string of pure white Buddhist beads in his hand. As he twists his fingers, he makes a small collision sound. With that serious face, It gives people a sense of inscrutability.

Seeing him, the officials couldn't help but be surprised.

This is the imperial teacher given by the late emperor. It is said that this person traveled around the country when he was in his teens and practiced profound Mahayana Buddhism. After the late emperor passed away, this person lived in the chanting pavilion. Today he actually came out to teach The Queen Mother's birthday congratulations show the Queen Mother's face.

Yin Qingxuan is also very curious, why is there still a monk living in the palace?

And everyone seems to respect him very much?

The Queen Mother had already stood up and walked down from her seat to greet Xuanzhen.

"Master, hurry up and invite me. The Ai family specially ordered someone to prepare a plain banquet, and invited master to take a seat."

Ye Jingyu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Why did this person come?

Seeing the Queen Mother being so attentive, I couldn't help but smell some unusual smells.

Xuanzhen put one hand on his chest and pronounced the Dharma chant in a low voice.

"No need, such a prosperous place is really not suitable for a poor monk. The poor monk came here to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, and secondly, he wanted to say one thing and leave after saying it."

The Queen Mother asked with a puzzled look on her face: "I wonder what Master wants to say?"

Xuanzhen said quietly: "After the death of the late emperor, the poor monk no longer cared about worldly affairs and studied scriptures with peace of mind. Recently, he suddenly saw that the harem was clouded, and there seemed to be a demon causing trouble, so he came to report it. I hope the Queen Mother and the Emperor Mo Yan will wait for a while. Look at it.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Some people even looked up at the sky. The sky was blue with white clouds floating on it. There were no dark clouds at all.

Yin Qingxuan also looked up and saw that the monk was obviously talking nonsense.

Master Xuanzhen glanced at everyone, and then said: "You are all mortals with naked eyes, so naturally you cannot see the evil spirit shrouding the harem."

He slowly raised his head, pinched a magic formula in his hand, and suddenly turned his face to Yin Qingxuan.

"If the poor monk is not mistaken, the evil spirit is here!"
