After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Tonight's banquet is not a real concubine selection banquet. The highlight is tomorrow, so the noble ladies are not disappointed to see that no one can stand out tonight.

When the Queen Mother left, the noble ladies below were still a little worried that the Queen Mother was unwell and the concubine selection banquet tomorrow could not be held as scheduled.

But no one would have expected that the Queen Mother would let the Queen take full charge of the concubine selection banquet!

Is the Queen Mother crazy?

As everyone knows, no matter what everyone is thinking about on this trip to Jiufan Mountain, the most important thing is to select the most outstanding ladies from several noble families in Kyoto to choose princesses for the two unmarried princes, King Heng and King Yue!

The most important of these is King Heng...

Whether Prince Heng's power can be expanded again and overpower the Crown Prince, the selection of this in-law is very important, so the Queen Mother actually hosted a banquet in person at Jiufan Mountain this time.

The Queen has always regarded Prince Heng as a thorn in her side, so it is impossible for her to choose a girl from a noble family.

Isn't the Queen Mother's careful planning just to prepare for the Empress's wedding?

When the Queen heard that she was asked to be in charge of tomorrow's concubine selection banquet, she was naturally ecstatic, but after calming down, she also felt that there seemed to be a problem.

The Queen Mother took great pains to build the big stage of Jiufan Mountain, but when it was time to go on stage, she gave it to her?

but……

Under the huge impact of interests, the queen still said: "Your Majesty, I will obey your order. Let the eldest princess and I preside over it together tomorrow."

The Queen was also wary, fearing that this was a trap, so she dragged Princess Mingjing into the conspiracy.

Emperor Yonghui had no objection, so it was settled!

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xun prepared to escort Xiao Xuetang back, but he didn't expect to be stopped by a tactless person.

Looking closely, it was Lin Shaoshu!

Lin Xun was just playing a tune on the piano at the palace banquet tonight, but it had such a great influence in the hearts of Emperor Yonghui and the court officials. This made Lin Shaoshu very uneasy!

"The emperor's uncle is really good at tactics. The song he sang at the banquet not only won the support of the military generals, but also won over the civil officials..."

At this point, Lin Shaoshu suddenly approached Lin Xun and said in a sinister voice: "The emperor's uncle now has a beautiful woman in his arms. Is he going to take the throne from my father next?"

At this time, most of the people at the banquet had left, leaving only Lin Xun and Lin Shaoshu. Lin Shaoshu no longer pretended and asked in a gloomy voice.

Lin Xun glanced at him nonchalantly, without any emotion.

After a moment, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked, "Does this dragon throne have anything to do with King Heng?"

The one sitting on the throne is Emperor Yonghui, and the crown prince is Lin Shaoyu... No matter how disappointing Lin Shaoyu is, at least he can be the regent with full legitimacy!

Lin Xun's short words really pierced Lin Shaoshu's heart.

Lin Shaoshu blurted out, "If it wasn't for..."

But as if he thought of something, Lin Shaoshu swallowed his words.

Under the swaying palace lanterns, Lin Shaoshu's handsome face looked a little distorted. He looked at Lin Xun and said in a gloomy voice: "This time, I will never give in to you!"

In Lin Xun's eyes, Lin Shaoshu's threat was just that of a ferocious young beast.

He seemed to have heard something funny, and his eyebrows slightly raised under the mask, and said: "Let's wait until Prince Heng really becomes the crown prince before we talk about this."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Lin Shaoshu standing there with his face changing several times.

At this moment, a man walked out from behind the pillar. It was none other than Mu Xingyun: "Your Majesty, the emperor trusts Lin Xun very much now. He is very popular. Why do you have to provoke him?"

Lin Shaoshu said with an impetuous look: "I just can't stand Lin Xun being so complacent."

He then thanked himself: "Fortunately, we found the secret order and destroyed it in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous..."

Whether it was the trust of Emperor Yonghui or Lin Xun's prestige among the court officials, once the secret decree of the previous emperor's succession came to light, the throne would be Lin Xun's.

He absolutely would not allow this to happen!

Tonight, the fragrance of flowers and the moonlight of Jiufan Mountain magnified Emperor Yonghui's suppressed longing for Concubine Xie, and also magnified the uneasiness hidden in Lin Shaoshu's heart...

Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind and said to Mu Xingyun: "Hurry up and find that thing. The plan from now on will be as you said before..."

He must never show any more softness towards his father!

"Yes."

Mu Xingyun bowed his head respectfully to hide the faint light in his eyes, and said in a very respectful tone: "Please be patient, Your Majesty. It will take at most three days. As long as we find that thing, our people in Kyoto will take action."

"Then everything will be yours..."

Lin Shaoshu's originally impetuous face gradually calmed down, and the next moment he said: "Okay, but before that, we must find the things that mother left behind."

It is said that the item is powerful enough to overthrow Dayin's empire, and it will be another bargaining chip in Lin Shaoshu's hands.

When Concubine Xie was dying, she could have left something to him, but she didn't believe him.

She left the item at Jiufan Mountain, but she would rather let the Xie family keep the secret than tell him.

These were the truths that the Queen Mother mentioned to Lin Shaoshu when she told him about the past after he was crowned king. Lin Shaoshu believed them without a doubt.

A hint of cruelty flashed in Lin Shaoshu's eyes.

If his mother had trusted him a little more back then, he wouldn't have had such a hard time in Kyoto.

For a moment, Lin Shaoshu felt both love and hate for Concubine Xie, just like he did for Xiao Xuetang, his mood was very complicated...

……

"Queen, just as you expected, the Queen was overjoyed to hear that you would not show up tomorrow."

At this time, in the Queen Mother's bedroom, Qin Yue, one of the Queen Mother's personal maids, couldn't wait to pass the good news to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother sneered, "Wang seems to be a thoughtful person, but in fact she is extremely greedy and likes to manipulate power. In this case, I will grant her the wish, but..."

Before she could finish, the Queen Mother suddenly felt a tightness in her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Queen Mother, you are vomiting blood. Go and get the imperial physician."

At this time, in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, her personal maid Qin Yue gave the order in panic.

At this moment, a woman in red came hurriedly, followed by a person dressed as a maid in green, who said, "Let me take a look."

The woman in red looked to be no more than twenty years old, with fair skin and charming features. Even the maid beside her was very beautiful.

Both the master and the servant were dressed in exotic attire, wearing silver ornaments that jingled as they walked. As they gracefully came before the empress dowager, a faint medicinal fragrance was emanating from wherever they passed.

Without any announcement, the woman who appeared in the Queen Mother's bedroom was none other than the now highly-anticipated Princess Jiuge of Southern Xinjiang!
