Gradually, the birthday banquet became more and more lively. Hua Xiaogu was very busy, and Tian Lanqing was also helping with her gloves. It was rare for the Queen Mother to eat and drink happily with her son, so her spirits became high.
After three rounds of drinking, it was time to leave the main hall to watch a show. The Queen Mother was happy, and the Emperor was naturally pleased.
"The Tian family has the heart to come up with such interesting things to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother." The emperor said a few words and squinted at Hua Xiaogu and Tian Lanqing who were busy not far away.
"Is that the eldest son of the Tian family?" The emperor turned around and asked the queen beside him.
The queen nodded and said jokingly: "That's right. With a character like the eldest young master of the Tian family, it's a pity that Pei Zhen has already been married to someone else..."
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother on the side also heard it.
What the elderly people love to do most is playing matchmaker.
"Don't Peizhen have a sister? Her name is..."
The Queen smiled: "Yes, a concubine named Pei'e. She has just grown hair this year. Considering her age, she should find a good family."
The queen's surname was Mo, and her father was the powerful Grand Master Mo in the court, and the concubine the queen mentioned, who had just grown hair, was naturally the one who had secretly spread the news and inquired about Tian Lanqing.
The Queen Mother drank two glasses of wine, and it was a happy time. She smiled and greeted the people next to her twice, and then the young eunuch hurriedly left towards Tian Lanqing.
"Mr. Tian, the Queen Mother invites you." The young eunuch walked up to Tian Lanqing.
Tian Lanqing paused for a moment, and then her thoughts came true.
"Xiaogu, I'm going to go over there first. If I call you later, don't say anything when you go." Tian Lanqing put down the things in his hands, and then took off his gloves.
Hua Xiaogu was busy with something in her hands. She raised her head blankly and watched Tian Lanqing leave.
Tian Lanqing came to the front of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, lifted up her clothes and knelt down: "Cao Mintian..."
Before he could finish speaking, the emperor waved his hand: "Okay, okay, stop kneeling back and forth." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Stand up and show the Ai family."
Tian Lanqing lowered her head and pursed her lips, then stood up and faced the Queen Mother with lowered eyes.
When the Queen Mother saw him, she immediately smiled: "Oh, he is indeed a handsome man. Have you ever been married?"
Tian Lanqing bowed and replied politely: "Back to the Queen Mother, the common people are engaged, and the fiancée is the one who was bartending just now."
As soon as these words came out, the queen was the only one stunned.
The Emperor and the Queen Mother don't really care about these things. Once they get married, they get married. It's no big deal. It's just the Queen. She got her father's orders. She obviously heard that this person has no engagement at all?
"Bartending at the girl's house?" The Queen Mother was startled and looked not far away.
Tian Lanqing knelt on the ground and replied solemnly: "Caomin is a businessman who started his business with wine and has never forgotten his roots from generation to generation. Four years ago, he accidentally met Xiaogu in Xiaoyun Town and fell in love with him at first sight.
Take her back to the capital. It’s just that Xiaogu is devoted to studying wine, and I can’t bear to force her, so the marriage has been postponed until now.”
The Queen Mother loved to listen to stories the most, and she became interested as soon as she heard them: "Quickly, call that girl to me. I want to see this drunken lady who is not inferior to men!"
In this way, Hua Xiaogu was brought to the Queen Mother.
"Are you Tian Lanqing's fiancée?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.
Hua Xiaogu was startled and turned around to look at Tian Lanqing's back.
Tian Lanqing didn't look back, but just put her hands behind her back and gently raised her little finger...
