"Yes, this is Master Zhuoran's last work. It's so beautiful!" The Queen Mother couldn't put it down and touched it.
"What a coincidence!" A soft voice sounded. When the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian looked over, Concubine De also stood up with a soft smile, "I also found a tea set, but it doesn't look as good as my sister's!"
As he spoke, he walked forward and showed his tea set to the Queen Mother with a smile.
"It's good too! Everyone in the Ai family likes it!" The Queen Mother glanced at it and motioned to Zuo Yan to take it back.
Immediately two palace maids came forward and took away both sets of tea sets.
Concubine Xian returned to her seat and sat down. The emperor looked at her, and she also glanced at him. The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was ambiguous.
When Concubine De turned around and saw this scene, the expression on her face instantly froze.
The Queen has actually seen it a long time ago, but as a Queen, she cannot show any inappropriate expressions or remarks in public.
Her son is already a prince, and as a queen, she cannot expect too much.
Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu seemed to have made an agreement, and each of them made a suit of clothes for the Queen Mother.
As a concubine in the harem, if the gift given is too expensive, it will be suspected. Especially a concubine with a son, every word and every step must be calculated.
The Queen Mother is in a good mood today. No matter what the gift is, she smiles and says she likes it, and then gives it a reward.
After all the concubines had given birthday gifts, the emperor gave an order, the dancer came on the stage, and then the maids shuttled in front of everyone's table.
This was Ye Qingcheng's favorite part, but as she stared at the exquisite dishes in front of her, she could easily tell that some of the dishes contained laxatives.
Steamed seafood, broad-belly pigeon, oolong elbow, and roasted lamb leg.
These are all her favorite dishes because she likes all kinds of meat, but not many people know about her liking.
Ye Qianying…Ye Meidai…
hehe…
She looked over calmly, and sure enough, the two sisters were stealing glances at her from time to time.
Ye Qingcheng sneered in his heart, at this level, he still wanted to imitate others and harm others.
However, she believed that the two sisters were not capable of drugging her at the palace banquet. Princess Chenyang must have drugged her.
She looked at the large table of delicacies in front of her, including tiger buckle and dragon hide, crane and bear paw stewed, silver needle fried wings, Dinghu Shang Su, first-grade official swallow, phoenix tail and large skirt wings, elephant plucked yuqin, golden leopard civet...
They really thought highly of her. There were so many delicacies, what could she not eat? What if she still lacked those four dishes? She was so smart.
As the future princess, Ye Qianying doesn't have much time to care about whether she eats the food or not.
However, besides looking at the prince and prince, Ye Meidai looked nervously here.
Ye Qingcheng teased her from time to time.
She stretched out her chopsticks to pick up an elbow, and slowly put it down under Ye Meidai's nervous and vicious eyes.
Once...twice...three times...four times...
This made Ye Meidai's mentality collapse, and she was not in the mood to go see the prince again.
Ye Qingcheng was in a good mood and continued to play the game of picking it up and putting it down again.
Jun Mochen's eyes kept following her, and he saw that the little girl's prank was a bit funny.
But when she thought that her food had been poisoned, her face darkened.
"Baifeng!" He called out in a deep voice.
Bai Feng, who had been following him all the time, immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists, "My subordinate is here!"
"Go and check!" Jun Mochen only had two words.
Bai Feng, who was good at observing, had long seen his master's eyes always falling on Miss Ye. He was observing Miss Ye carefully, and it was not difficult to see that there was something wrong with Miss Ye's food.
Moreover, Miss Ye seems to know who poisoned her, and she is teasing him enthusiastically.
The fourth prince also noticed it and sent his followers to investigate.
When his secret guard was sent back, he was not in the mansion. He wanted to explain it to Uncle Zhan afterwards, but he went there twice and still didn't see anyone.
On the stage, after the song ended, the dancers got off the stage one after another.
A young woman in a red dance dress stood up and said, "The Imperial Grandmother, the Emperor Father, the Queen Mother, and Ying Yue specially prepared a dance, wishing the Imperial Grandmother happiness like the East Sea, prosperous sun and moon, everlasting pines and cranes, immortality in the spring and autumn, and longevity."
Again, the joy will last forever.”
The emperor took the lead in applauding, "Okay!"
"Mother, look at the reflected moon, is there any shadow of you back then?" After the emperor applauded, everyone in the Wuyang Palace burst into applause. The emperor turned his head and asked the Queen Mother loudly.
The Queen Mother just smiled and did not respond to the remarks. The Emperor touched his nose and sat up straight.
Yingyue is the second princess, the daughter of the queen, and the most noble of all princesses.
The prince and second princess born to the queen, the third prince from Concubine Shu, the fourth prince from Concubine Xian, the seventh princess, the fifth prince from Concubine Liang, and the sixth princess from Concubine De.
The emperor is very fair and will grant the title of concubine to anyone who makes a difference.
There are still few heirs in the imperial palace, currently only seven, four sons and three daughters.
It’s not that the emperor has fewer women, nor that he can’t give birth, it’s just that pregnant concubines always miscarry, which is why the emperor still has so few children after so long of registration.
"Okay! Let Yingyue start performing!" The queen glanced at the Queen Mother and waved her hand to stop everyone's applause.
"Yes! Queen Mother!" Princess Yingyue raised her hand, and the violinist plucked the strings in accordance with her movements. Flowers rained from the sky, and the girl in red descended to earth like a fairy. At this moment, Princess Yingyue's whole body seemed to be glowing, and as she followed
The light and graceful dance, the erratic and fairy-like dancing posture, and the wide and wide sleeves that opened and closed the cover, further highlighted her beautiful appearance with countless manners. Everyone watched her graceful dancing posture intoxicated, and almost forgot to breathe.
At this moment, the strings broke, making a harsh sound.
The fairy-like Princess Yingyue fell from the altar in an instant, her dance steps were messy and her expression was panicked.
Not for anything else, just because the violinist is someone she admires.
However, mistakes at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be punished. Princess Yingyue danced for a while, but couldn't hold it back anymore and knelt down with a plop.
"Father, the emperor, mother, empress, and the emperor's grandmother, it was Yingyue's failure to check that led to such a mistake!"
The emperor didn't look good on his face, so he waved his hand coldly, "Everyone, step aside!"
Princess Yingyue quickly got up, winked at the violinist, and then retreated.
But the queen took a deep look at the piano player.
"I'm sorry, mother. It's that girl Yingyue who ruined your happiness. I'll go back and settle the score with her!" The emperor smiled and apologized to the queen mother, with a flattering expression on his face.
"Yingyue is right. It's just that the piano player she hired was a little inferior, so the strings were broken and the fun was ruined." The Queen Mother did not mean to blame Princess Yingyue. After all, she was her direct granddaughter, but she was too
A seasoned person would have already noticed that the piano player was different in Princess Yingyue's heart.
The emperor nodded and looked at the queen. The queen was startled by the emperor's look and quickly lowered her head.
The emperor raised his head and winked at Jun Mochen, who slowly sat up straight.
"Mother, I have found some holy beauty products for you!"
When His Highness the War King spoke, everyone raised their heads.
His Royal Highness the War King's move was absolutely extraordinary. Everyone looked at it with anticipation in their eyes, but Ye Qingcheng was the only one sitting there bored.
After eating enough, drinking enough, and teasing the drugged man enough, she is now waiting for He Lian'er to come over.
