Meng Yinqin did not invite too many people to the dust-washing banquet today.
After all, Ye Wu just came here to show her face and help host the ceremony, and then she had to "leave" temporarily.
Therefore, only direct blood relatives of the royal family were present at the banquet.
She asked Qin Jiaoxi which queen was named after the second prince and concubine. She was still young and looked curious.
But the second prince was so frightened that he quickly stretched out his hand to tug on her sleeve.
The second prince's concubine said impatiently: "I'm just asking casually, I don't mean anything else, so don't drag me!"
Meng Yinqin smiled: "Princess Chu Ning is my biological daughter and the daughter of the two queens, there is no difference!"
Since both of them are queens, do they still have concubines?
When everyone thought about it, it seemed like it was the same.
There are two queens, so what does it matter who the princess is?
However, the second princess nodded thoughtfully and glanced at the fifth prince opposite her calmly.
So in the middle of the banquet, the little eunuch behind the fifth prince quietly retreated.
Since Qin Jiaoxi came in, although she sat next to Ye Wu according to the rules, her eyes were still communicating with Bo Jiming.
Seeing the people around the fifth prince leaving secretly, the two of them looked at each other, found an excuse to leave, and then met in the back garden of Longxi Palace.
"Today, the fourth prince still didn't come, and the Queen Mother and the grounded Ninth Princess didn't come!"
Bo Ji clearly said: "Prince Xiao has returned to the sea in advance, while Marquis Ding'an and the Imperial Doctor Han are working outside the palace!"
Qin Jiaoxi nodded: "Didn't the words of the second prince and concubine just now seem to be without purpose?"
Bo Jiming pulled her into space.
"Whether it's on target, we'll know when we come in and take a look!"
The sensing range in space is still about twenty kilometers.
Bo Jiming easily saw the fifth prince's little eunuch sneaking out from the side of Longxi Palace.
After predicting his route, the two of them waited in the corner outside the Longxi Palace wall in advance.
I saw the little eunuch running all the way to the back door. After looking around, he raised his hand and pushed open a courtyard door.
Qin Jiaoxi and Bo Jiming both raised their heads and looked at Leng Gong.
Qin Jiaoxi was surprised and said: "There is actually a cold palace here?"
But after Bo Jiming pulled her and teleported in from space, he found that the place was overgrown with grass and grass, and it had obviously been unused for many years.
Then I heard the little eunuch saying to a door: "Go back and tell your master, I'm afraid that trick won't work!"
"Both queens are equally important, so it may be impossible to do without either one!"
"What? Our master doesn't get involved in these things. Anyway, we've already asked what we need to ask about, so we'll pay you back!"
After saying that, he turned around quickly and followed the wall out of the cold palace again.
Suddenly there was a "bang" outside the door, as if someone was losing their temper.
Qin Jiaoxi was about to move over with Bo Jiming when he suddenly heard a roar coming from above his head: "Meow!"
I saw a black cat quickly rushing towards the corner where the two of them were.
"careful!"
Bo Jiming picked up Qin Jiaoxi and escaped into the space, quickly leaving the cold palace. The sound of the black cat's roar could still be heard in his ears.
Qin Jiaoxi was shocked: "The cat can't see us, right?"
Bo Jiming shook his head, then nodded: "It's possible!"
After all, things like black cat channeling were difficult to explain even in his previous world.
When the black cat left and the two of them went back to the previous door, there was no one behind it.
Qin Jiaoxi couldn't help but stamp her feet: "Who was he talking to before? Are they thinking about my mother and my junior uncle?"
Bo Jiming frowned and said, "It's probably the Fourth Prince's person!"
"However, you don't have to worry. Now that Ye Wu is here, she will definitely be able to protect her safety!"
Qin Jiaoxi was right, so the two of them teleported back to Longxi Palace from space and returned to their seats.
"Mom, this snack is a specialty of the Yanchu royal family, but you can't eat it in Dazhao!"
Qin Jiaoxi walked to Ye Wu and sat down next to her with a plate of snacks, pretending to share the food with her, and then whispered in her ear what she had just encountered.
"No matter what, you want news and try not to walk around alone!"
"Also, in the palace, it doesn't matter if you are strong in martial arts. Since my brother was attacked just a few days ago..."
Others just thought it was the mother and daughter talking quietly and didn't pay attention.
Seeing this, the Emperor turned to the Empress Dowager and smiled: "It can be seen that the relationship between the princess and the queen is very good!"
The Empress Dowager also said: "Well, the Ai family has seen it since they entered the house!"
Meng Yinqin poured himself a glass of wine slowly and said with a smile: "Then you haven't met my other queen. She has a better relationship with Xi'er!"
That's my uncle.
After Qin Jiaoxi finished talking to Ye Wu, he didn't care about the opinions of others and started to eat.
Anyway, there was no program arranged for the Cleansing Banquet. Meng Yinqin's attitude was clear that he wanted to have a meal in private and meet the "Queen" at the grand ceremony, so there was no need to cause too much trouble.
Returning to Fengwu Palace after dinner, Ye Wu's shoulders suddenly slumped.
"I didn't expect that eating this meal would be more tiring than practicing dancing all day long!"
Qin Jiaoxi pursed her lips and smiled: "It's okay, you won't be tired once you get used to it!"
Ye Wu looked at her with some despair, and glanced at the palace maid not far away: "I think you will be more tired, right?"
If you want to say something in private, you have to do it secretly, God——
So why did she agree to pretend to be the queen?
Oh no, she had no choice at all.
Three days later, there will be a grand ceremony for the unification of the country.
Qin Jiaoxi got up early in the morning and accompanied Ye Wu to tidy up.
The main hall starts from Longxi Palace, goes straight to the east gate, then walks through the palace and out of the west gate accompanied by the ministers, and then walks to the south gate of Beiling City accompanied by the high-ranking officials and nobles of the imperial city.
Finally, pass through half of Beiling City from the North Gate to the East City Gate, and then turn back to the Imperial City.
Of course, the emperor and the female family members were all sitting on the pedestal, while the others followed beside them.
Qin Jiaoxi and Bo Jiming made a rough calculation and found that the ministers would have to walk about fifteen kilometers. During this period, they could substitute people in the middle and join the team when they turned back.
As for ordinary people, they are more casual and can join and leave at any time.
But in fact, there are still some ordinary people and generals who have predetermined quotas and must follow them from beginning to end.
Although the Empress has to hold the ceremony in person, in fact Ye Wu's job is to accompany the Emperor in the palace, and then come down to accompany the emperor at the east gate, burn incense, and place incense for the Emperor.
When leaving the imperial city, he stopped and stood on the steps in a dignified manner to tell the people about the registration of the new emperor.
Finally, we returned to Buchu and accompanied the emperor on his journey to Beiling City.
This is why Meng Yinqin would rather let Ye Wu pretend to be the Queen than let the Queen Mother take her place.
Especially since the Queen Mother helped the Ninth Princess cheat Bo Jiming a few days ago, it was even more impossible for Meng Yinqin to sit with her.
