All the people sitting next stood up: "Yes, the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother got up and led people to the palace where the banquet was tonight, ignoring Feng Jing behind her.
Feng Jing didn't bother to pretend to be with Empress Dowager Gao, and slowly followed everyone out.
The first lady of the Tang family and the second lady of the Tang family saw Feng Jing and nodded towards her respectfully.
Feng Jing also nodded slightly. They didn't speak, but they felt each other's feelings.
Tonight's palace banquet will be held in Jingyang Hall in the palace. Jingyang Hall is a large place and can accommodate many people.
When Feng Jing and others arrived, there were already many people in the hall. They were all young and middle-aged talents from the court, and they gathered together in groups of three or five to talk.
King Qin, King Kang, King Jin, Prince An, Prince Qing, and others are all here. Even Prince Ming, who was banned by His Majesty, is here tonight.
But Prince Ming's face didn't look very good from beginning to end.
This time he came out and found that the ministers who had flattered him earlier and followed him were no longer pursuing him as diligently as before, although they still talked to him with smiles on their faces.
But what they said to each other was all official talk, and there was no longer the heart-to-heart feeling that they had before.
King Pei Zhan of the Ming Dynasty knew very well that these ministers were afraid that they would give up on him because they saw him being punished by his father one after another.
When Pei Zhan thought about this, he hated Pei Lin and Feng Jing.
So when Feng Jing came over, his eyes were like knives and he dug into Feng Jing's body.
Fengjing didn't seem to notice it, and she led the people in happily.
In the main hall, a group of young talents came together to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was very unhappy because of Feng Jing's incident. When she saw Pei Lin, her mood became even worse.
Could this couple be her nemesis?
The Queen Mother sneered in her heart. She could go from being a little concubine in the late emperor's harem to the position of Queen Mother. How could she still be afraid of these two bitches? They should just wait for her.
The Queen Mother suppressed her unhappiness and put on a loving smile on her face: "Everyone, get up. There is no need to be formal. It's better to be more casual."
After she finished speaking, she led the people to the front of the hall, and the eunuch's voice rang out at the right time: "Your Majesty has arrived."
Except for the Queen Mother, everyone else walked towards the palace door in unison. When the Emperor walked in, everyone knelt down to greet him: "I have met Your Majesty."
Emperor Xiaoren looked down at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground. When he saw them kneeling on the ground and looking cautious, he felt instantly happy.
This feeling is really great. It's not in vain that he was a lowly person in his early years and worked hard to get the throne. The feeling of being above ten thousand people is really exciting.
However, when Emperor Xiaoren glanced at Pei Lin, his black pupils sank, and an overwhelming anger surged in his eyes.
This person must be eliminated, otherwise his throne will be unstable, and every time he sees him, he thinks of the days when he followed his father behind him like a low-lying dog in his early years.
What's more, before his death, the late emperor left his last words in front of four ministers. If he died, Pei Lin would succeed him.
Although all four people were now in his hands and it was impossible for them to tell the late emperor's last wish for Pei Lin, he was still worried when he saw Pei Lin.
Emperor Xiaoren thought and said, "Everyone, get up."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the main hall. When he came to the front of Empress Dowager Gao, he said calmly: "My son, I have met the empress."
Queen Mother Gao looked at him and knew that he was still angry at her for what she had done before.
Empress Dowager Gao did not want to be too familiar with her son, and did not care about his attitude. She said lovingly: "Your Majesty is here, and the banquet can almost begin."
"let's start."
The palace banquet began soon.
As the King and Princess of Jin, Pei Lin and Feng Jing were naturally seated near the front, as were the Ming King, Qin King, Kang, Xiaolu, Prince An, Prince Qing, Prince Qing, and others.
At the top of the hall, the old emperor waited until everyone sat down, then looked at the people at the bottom of the hall with a loving expression and said.
"The main purpose of holding the palace banquet today is to recommend a concubine to King Jin. As a hero of the Yan Dynasty, King Jin married the wrong princess by mistake. I am uneasy and have specially asked the Queen Mother to prepare a concubine for today.
For the palace banquet in the evening, choose a concubine that suits King Jin’s wishes.”
Although the old emperor didn't say anything to Feng Jing, the meaning behind his words was very unfriendly, and many people in the palace looked at Feng Jing.
Feng Jing seemed not to understand, looking at the old emperor above with a smile.
The look on his face made the old emperor furious for no reason.
Beside Feng Jing, Pei Lin stood up in time: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness, but the princess is very much in line with my heart. Without the princess, my poison would not be cured. Before thanking your majesty, I would like to admit
It’s about the princess.”
This sentence seemed ordinary, but in fact it was full of swords and swords. Everyone in the palace was not a fool. When they heard it, they understood that Pei Lin's words were directly referring to the fact that the old emperor asked him to recognize Feng Jing.
After hearing Pei Lin's words, Emperor Xiaoren's eyes were indescribably cold, but there was a smile on his face, but no matter how you looked at it, the smile looked superficial.
"Although Princess Jin has made a contribution to saving you, she got pregnant before marriage, which has hindered your reputation. However, if you protect her with all your strength, I can't do anything to break up people's marriages. However, Prince Jin's palace should still have a person of noble character.
Someone is here to preside over the affairs of the palace."
This statement goes so far as to say that Feng Jing's character is unclean and she is not worthy of being the Princess of Jin, and she is not worthy of entertaining guests outside.
Pei Lin spoke again: "I thank your majesty for your love, but the princess was framed by others to do the wrong things. This cannot be said to be a bad character. It can only be said that her scheming is not as good as others, and she fell into the trap of the bad guys. As for me, Prince Jin's Mansion
The princess can still handle the matter. Your Majesty has introduced the concubine into the palace. I am very grateful. However, the concubine should act like a concubine. I don’t want the concubine to interfere in the affairs of the palace."
These words directly refuted His Majesty's suggestion, and the old emperor's face darkened.
In the main hall, it was as quiet as a deserted place, no one dared to speak.
Finally, the old emperor calmed down and said, "Okay, these are the family affairs of your Prince Jin's palace. I am not long enough to reach into your family affairs."
After the old emperor finished speaking, he said, "Let the palace banquet begin."
The atmosphere in the palace finally calmed down a bit. King Kang of Qin and others took the lead in toasting to the old emperor. King Ming Pei Zhan became a little timid due to the recent events that happened one after another.
The old emperor was very angry when he saw him like this.
However, I thought that my son was still useful, so I didn't speak harshly to him again.
After the old emperor and his son finished drinking, they ordered the ladies of the court officials' families to come forward and perform their talents. In fact, the purpose was to let the princes look at each other.
All the ladies on the court wanted to perform well and attract the attention of King Ming, King Qin, King Kang and others, but they were also afraid that they would be too good and be selected as concubines by King Pei Lin of Jin.
This made them very entangled, but in the end their desire to marry the prince prevailed.
Everyone who performed showed their own talents.
For a time, the hall was filled with flowers, singing and dancing, and it was very lively.
