When Liang Huanqing saw Chuo Qi's smile, he suppressed his embarrassment and pretended to be calm and calm. But now when he saw him smiling, he blushed. Then he glanced at Qi Jingqin, thinking that Qi Jingqin was talking to him.

What happened.

Seeing that Liang Huanqing was a little embarrassed and dissatisfied, Qi Jingqin bumped Chuqi with his elbow and said to himself: "What a fuss!"

After saying that, he walked up, took Liang Huanqing's hands with both hands, and said with concern: "After we leave the palace, shall we go to Yuanfu Tower to have something to eat?"

Liang Huanqing's cheeks turned red and she glared at Zhuo Qi. Then she looked at Qi Jingqin and nodded with a smile.

When Chu Qi was squeezed by Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing, he curled his lips, turned to Yue Bai and smiled, and Yue Bai also looked at him and smiled.

Now that Liang Huanqing is here, they are also preparing to pay their respects to their mother and concubine in the Yichun Hall. After doing so, Qi Jingqin will go to the Qinzheng Hall to meet the concubine so that he can leave the palace later.

Inside Yichun Hall.

At this moment, Xia Rongxin is pruning the newly bloomed peach blossoms and gardenia buds in the yard. The warm spring sun shines on her body. Although she is a mature woman, she still retains her charm.

"How are the preparations for next month's spring banquet?" Xia Rongxin asked casually while looking at the flower branches in her hands.

After what happened last time, she rarely hosted such palace banquets in person, but as the concubine in the palace who was in charge of the harem, this was where Xia Rongxin blamed her. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs handled it according to the rules and etiquette, she still more or less still

I need to ask some questions.

After the New Year's Eve feast, Xia Rongxin also completely gave up on Qi Bingyu. Now that Qi Jingqin is back, as long as she can help Qi Jingqin win the throne, she has no other ideas. Qi Bingyu doesn't have any requirements for her. Everyone is doing it.

It doesn't matter if the two are unrelated to matters within one's own scope.

If her son Qi Jingqin and the others haven't come back by now, Xia Rongxin might just be teasing the birds and looking at the flowers in the palace. Qin Huai's brother outside the palace said that he would send a newly promoted noble dog to the palace to play with her.

, the ladies at Qinhuai love these, Xia Rongxin doesn’t like this kind of trouble, it’s been annoying enough with two children since she was a child, now she just wants to relax for a while, after understanding Qi Bingyu, she doesn’t have to worry about losing her all day long.

That kind of feeling doesn't exist at all.

Although Xia Rongxin asked, her mind was on the flower branches in her hands, as if she didn't care about these things in the palace at all.

"Your Majesty, you still need to check the list of guests for this year's spring banquet." Aunt Yun Xi said as she handed Xia Rongxin flowers.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has come to ask many times, but Aunt Yunxi knows the current attitude of Concubine Mei, so she can never find a chance to ask. Now that Concubine Mei has asked, she took the opportunity to talk about it.

The spring banquet is an annual banquet at the beginning of spring. The royal family in the palace invites some famous couples from the capital city to enter the palace to enjoy flowers, drink wine and watch lanterns. This is an act that demonstrates the harmony of couples in the celestial dynasty, and it also highlights the harmonious harmony between husband and wife in the royal family.

A role model for husband and wife.

At the usual spring banquets, Emperor Qi Bingyu and Concubine Xia Rongxin, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Qi Jingyang and Crown Princess Zhao Peiyu would always show a scene of husband and wife respecting each other as guests and singing in harmony in front of the guests. This is a long-lasting tradition. As royal nobles

, holds the power of life and death for the people of the world, and enjoys boundless honor and favor, he must also shoulder this important task - to let the people of the world know the truth about the prosperity of family and everything.

But for this year's spring banquet, the royal family wants to add two more people. There are Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing, the newly promoted couple last year, as well as many generals and generals' wives who have returned from the war. Although they are not on the invitation list, , but according to merit, a banquet is also required.

Today is different from the past, special situations require special treatment, but Concubine Mei is unwilling to take care of things this year, and the emperor is not interested in such things. The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has repeatedly raised objections to Eunuch He Sheng, but even if the emperor knew He Sheng didn't know why. Recently, the imperial concubine didn't come to see the emperor, and the emperor would not mention the imperial concubine Mei again.

He Sheng thought, probably after the last New Year's Eve feast, the emperor walked mercilessly in front of Concubine Mei, braving the heavy snow and storm to go to the prison to see Lu Huiling. At that time, Concubine Mei had probably given up on the emperor. , There is no greater sorrow than heartbreak. Concubine Mei spent most of her youth for the emperor. If she were just a wise empress, that would be it. Her successors would not be in a hurry for success. However, the appearance of Lu Huiling really made Xia Rongxin understand clearly. Without her own status, she would never, ever, ever want to be even more important than Empress Mingxian in the eyes of the Emperor.

The head of the House of Internal Affairs was also forced to have no choice. When he took office, something happened at the New Year's Eve feast, so it was his turn to take the post. However, after taking the post, he realized that this position was difficult to occupy, not to mention that Concubine Mei was not available at this time. Director, let him make his own decision on all matters in the palace, and then send them to Yichun Palace for approval. If he handles them properly, he will not be praised. If he fails to handle them, then he will be the one to reap the rewards. He can do this job well, and he will succeed. I pinned my head to the waistband of my pants.

As a last resort, he had to bring the directory to Yichun Palace every day, hoping to ask to see Concubine Mei and let her give her advice, but who knew that Concubine Mei was either tired or resting all day long, and had no time to talk to him? , Aunt Yunxi was also annoyed by him all the time. When she saw the empress talking about this matter, she quickly mentioned it for him.

"The banquet list is not the usual ones..." Xia Rongxin stopped her movements, placed the flower branches on the stone table, then put her hands on her knees, turned around and looked at Yun Xi, and asked, "This spring Qin'er and Huanqing will also attend the banquet, right?"

Aunt Yun Xi nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Of course, this year is the first spring banquet attended by the prince and princess. Among the royal family and dignitaries, this was the only newlywed couple last year."

When it came to Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing, Xia Rongxin also laughed. She slowly picked up a bunch of flower branches, twirled her fingers and picked them carefully, and said: "These two children have been married for almost a year. I don't know when I will give them to me." It would be great if the palace gave birth to a big fat grandson. The two people in the East Palace have been here for many years, and their stomachs have not moved at all. The little lady raised in the palace has also drank many abortion pills. Every time I look at the directory of the Imperial Hospital, That's where the most abortion pills are used. If the emperor knew that the prince was like this... I don't know how much he would be scolded..."

Although there was a trace of worry on Xia Rongxin's face, the corners of her mouth were full of ridicule. The relationship between Qi Jingyang and Zhao Peiyu could not be hidden from others, but not from her. On the surface, they were harmonious, and the husband and wife respected each other as guests, but in private, Zhao Peiyu was also ignored. Otherwise, Everyone else was pregnant, so why couldn't she get pregnant when she came here? There was no record of her in the palace's honorary office.
