pear blossoms fall to the end of the night

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, queen mother, thousand years old."

"Pingshen, take your seat."

The chief Zhaohua's brows were filled with the majesty of an emperor, she waved her sleeves and sat down upright.

Jing Li sat on the seat and looked at her, with a little more warmth in her eyes. This person was no longer the little girl who was holding on to the candied fruit and never let go. Her eyes revealed absolute confidence and firmness. It is the hand that can control the power of life and death of others, Zhaohua is no longer just Zhaohua, she is already an emperor soaked in power, Jing Li feels a little relieved.

After Huihou sat down, she raised her hand and ordered, "Play music."

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of silk and bamboo filled the hall. The sound of the zither was elegant and soft, with melodious twists and turns. Feeling tense.

Immediately afterwards, the eunuch began to pass the dishes, which was the part Wei Young was looking forward to the most. The dishes on the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet were all made by the Imperial Dining Room, and the Imperial Dining Room was undoubtedly a mysterious existence for a girl like Wei Young with a shallow family background.

The eunuch began to sing: "One product of heavenly fragrance, □□ full garden, longevity porridge, plum blossoms twice, Taishi five snake soup, imperial concubine chicken, golden hook hanging jade plate, three stacks of plum blossoms, emerald treasure..."

The charming ladies of the court came in one after another, holding a gold plate in their hands full of all kinds of dazzling dishes, Wei Young looked a little itchy, but before everyone moved their chopsticks, she could only stare helplessly. wait.

Seeing his wife's impatient look, Jing Li couldn't help laughing, remembering that when the two met for the first time, Wei Young was drooling while staring at the roast duck stall on the street, Jing Li thought in his heart, such a lady, usually Unlike the wife of Li Shangshu's family, who spends a lot of money on jewelry every day, it's really easy to support.

Empress Hui's eyes fell on Jing Li involuntarily, the corners of her mouth still maintained the dignity and grace that a queen mother should have, but her fingers unconsciously clenched tighter and tighter, this person killed herself She is currently unable to judge what role Zhaohua played in this matter, but when she thinks that Jingli and Zhaohua have such a good relationship, she can't help being cold towards Zhaohua.

Seeing Jing Li looking at Wei Young with such eyes, Hui Hou chuckled in her heart, so there is such a dirty relationship between these two people.

"Ziyuan." Huihou said, "The Ai family heard that you recently adopted a adopted son, did you bring it today, let the Ai family have a look."

There was also a little more interest in Zhaohua's eyes.

When Jing Li was questioned, he stood up and cupped his hands, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, my son Qin Zheng, just happened to be here today, Zheng'er."

Bai Xiwan gently pushed Qin Zheng, and Qin Zheng walked out of his seat and knelt down in front of the hall, "Qin Zheng sees His Majesty and Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother smiled kindly, and waved to Qin Zheng, "Come to Ai's family and let Ai's family take a look."

Qin Zheng felt a little nervous, and subconsciously glanced at Bai Xiwan, Bai Xiwan nodded towards him, giving Qin Zheng an invisible force, Qin Zheng took a deep breath after receiving the comfort, and walked to Hui behind the front.

Only then did Huihou take a closer look at Qin Zheng. There was a hint of astonishment in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up. She touched Qin Zheng's head and said with a smile, "This child really looks a little like Ziyuan. Resemblance, or how to put it, this Buddhist school pays attention to the word fate, Wei Young, you have to live up to it."

Wei Young, who was named, raised her head from the chaotic and attractive dishes in front of her. She didn't listen to what the queen mother said before, didn't she ask Qin Zheng?Why did it involve herself, she could only reply indiscriminately: "Striving up, be sure."

Hui Hou touched Qin Zheng's face and asked, "He is a smart child, is the child's mother here?"

"coming."

Now Bai Xiwan stepped forward and knelt down, "Ministers see Your Majesty, Queen Mother."

Huihou looked at Bai Xiwan with more inquiring eyes, and then she smiled, "Ziyuan's mother is the princess of the Ming Kingdom and the younger sister of the Ai family. Since you have also joined the Jing family, you are naturally considered royal relatives." , come here, bring me my golden nanmu box."

Soon, a court lady came forward holding a box.

Huihou took the box, "This magpie welcomes the spring golden hairpin just made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ai's family is old, so I will give it to you. As for Zheng'er, Ai's family didn't have anything in hand for a while. This jade tiger is for you." You can play."

Queen Hui handed the box to the maid, and took off a jade pendant she was wearing.

This kind of behavior surprised everyone present. A noble person like Huihou would pay so much attention to a little adoptive son of the prime minister's mansion, and even personally rewarded him. For a while, there were puzzled, pensive, and jealous eyes. Floating towards Baixi.

Bai Xiwan took Qin Zheng to apologize, showing some joy on her face at the right time, and the banquet continued.

"The Empress Dowager seems to like Prime Minister Jing's adopted son very much," Zhao Hua said.

Empress Hui sighed, "The palace is deserted, and you refuse to give birth to an imperial heir, so it's only natural that the Ai family likes Zheng'er."

After finishing speaking, Huihou glanced at Chu Huairou who was sitting at the bottom of Zhaohua, and the atmosphere became serious in an instant. Everyone was tacit about Chu Huairou's matter, although some people spurned Chu Qin for selling girls for glory. , but no one dared to openly question the queen on such an occasion. When Chu Huairou was conferred, Jingli was not in the capital, so there was no way to stop him. After Jingli came back, some ministers asked Jingli to stop Zhaohua, but Jingli Li said that he was powerless, and now Jing Li is slowly handing over the power to Zhaohua, so Jing Li has no choice but to do what Zhaohua is going to do.

Chu Huairou didn't feel anything, she still stared at Zhaohua as if she was looking at a lover.

Zhaohua met Chu Huairou's gaze, and her expression became much gentler. She didn't answer Hui Empress's words directly, "If the Empress Dowager likes this child, she can just ask her to come into the palace, why make fun of me."

Seeing that Zhaohua was not angry, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"The dishes are also served, let's start to enjoy."

As soon as the words were finished, Wei Young couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of food and stuffed it into her mouth, halfway through the chewing, she suddenly realized that this was not Ye's house, nor Xiang's mansion, but the palace, so for the sake of etiquette, Slowed down.

While eating, singing and dancing came from Queen Hui.
