Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 50 Return to the original owner
The emperor personally participated in the arrangement of the queen's birthday banquet, and the specifications in all aspects were comparable to his own birthday.

Yu Chumeng was very interested. Several ministers who attended the banquet used to have a good relationship with her father. She called her uncle since she was a child.He went to the banquet hall early in the morning, chatting and laughing with the people and chatting freely.

Ruan Wei arrives neither early nor late.

Concubine Ming was the first to hug her, smiling like a flower: "Sister Ruan Concubine, have you given birth?"

Ruan Wei was a little speechless in the face of Concubine Ming.Confinement is not the same as confinement. One is a happy event and the other is a sad event. Concubine Ming said this, lest she forget the sad thing, lest she be happy.She just remembered the hatred of the Hu Hu until now, and it couldn't be more obvious.

The visitor is not good, there is no need to pay attention to it, Ruan Wei walked to her seat without looking at it.

According to the position, Concubine Ming was sitting beside her, so she followed Ruan Wei and said regretfully: "Sister Ruan Concubine, you are too careless, what a pity, otherwise, my sister's stomach should have improved now. "

Yu Chumeng was surrounded by the crowd, and when he heard the "Sister Ruan Fei" in the tea, he signaled the people around him to let go and go there.

Ruan Wei still didn't want to talk to Concubine Ming.When she got to her seat, she found that she had one more cup of bird's nest than other people's refreshments, and there was a thin blanket on the seat.

She was just out of confinement and should not catch cold, nor should she drink and eat raw and cold food.

Naturally, Concubine Ming also found out. She stood in front of Ruan Wei's seat and said, "Sister Ruan Concubine, you should take care of your body. Miscarriage hurts the most."

Ruan Wei couldn't bear it any longer. Just as she was about to fight, the queen appeared next to Concubine Ming in a gorgeous dress and said with a smile, "After all, Concubine Ruan is the emperor's heart and will not be mistreated. You can worry less."

Concubine Ming's schadenfreude attitude immediately restrained, and she nodded: "My concubine also cares about Concubine Ruan's sister."

"Take care of yourself, the emperor thinks of you less and less recently."

Yu Chumeng was where the eyes of everyone in the hall converged. Her calm tone fell in the ears of most people, and it was undoubtedly a slander for Concubine Ming.

People tend to be flamboyant, and the queen is doing this in public to tell everyone that she can't get along with Concubine Ming.

What Concubine Ming wanted to target was Concubine Ruan. How dare she confront the Empress on the bright side, the Empress mocked her, she could only endure it.

Concubine Ming apologized and said, "Niangniang, the concubine is indeed not much favored, and it is far less than that of Concubine Ruan's sister to please the emperor."

Her eyes are earnest, and she uses her facial expressions and tone to show her low profile.

It's a pity that Yu Chumeng didn't buy it, and teased: "One bite of Concubine Ruan's sister, Master Xiahou is going to present a beauty today, that is your good sister. I heard that you are looking forward to your sister to accompany you these days, and often weeping with joy. , today can be regarded as the end of the year.”

There are all prominent people in the room, and they can control their manners, but some people still couldn't help laughing.

Concubine Ming's face suddenly became ugly.

Yu Chumeng stopped looking at her, and said softly to Ruan Wei, "Drink the bird's nest while it's hot."

Turning around and walking towards the phoenix seat on the steps, the wide golden hemline skirt swept across the glazed floor, and the golden embroidered phoenix above it glowed brightly.

Ruan Wei admired Concubine Ming's slumped face, and the bird's nest in her mouth was a little sweeter.

"Sister Ming Fei, sit down, stop sticking, and have a taste of this refreshment." Ruan Wei said with a smile.

After Concubine Ming sat down on the seat beside Ruan Wei, everyone's attention was dissipated from them.

Ruan Wei was in a good mood to deal with several concubines who came to say hello.She also saw Qi Yue and Fang Concubine come in together and take a seat in an inconspicuous corner.No one bothered Qi Yue, only Fang Concubine had a few words with her.

It was almost time, and everyone took their seats.

Concubine Ming suddenly muttered: "Just wait, the queen is probably even more angry than me when she sees the beauty my father gave me."

Ruan Wei turned her head to the side, frowned and asked, "Why?"

"You'll know if you see it in a while." Concubine Ming snorted coldly.

Ruan Wei subconsciously thought, could that woman have an old grudge with the queen?Otherwise, why would the queen be so angry?
She raised her eyes and glanced at the upper seat. The queen was sitting upright, slightly turning her head and talking to Mammy Li behind her.

Ruan Wei retracted her gaze and just picked up the spoon when she heard a shout from outside the hall: "The emperor is here!"

It was still far away from the banquet, and it was still snack time. Several courtiers had not arrived yet, so the emperor came a little too early.

The wide hall was immediately silent, and everyone got up and knelt on both sides of the hall, and Yu Chumeng walked down the steps to greet them.

The moment Xuan Wei stepped into the hall, Yu Chumeng's eyes froze on the man behind him.

Xuan Wei walked towards her step by step, stood by her side, and said to everyone: "I have found out that there was another hidden situation in the case of Yu Aiqing's dereliction of duty, and I specially summoned Yu Aiqing to return to Beijing, and Yu Aiqing will return soon. Chaotang, serving Qiyuan."

Yu Chumeng looked at his father who bowed and saluted in front of him. He hadn't seen him for five years. His father had white hair on his temples, bowed slightly, and behaved cautiously, completely losing his high-spirited appearance.

The father in her memory was still the prime minister who was highly sought after wherever he went, and his waist was always straight.

His eyes were a little sore, and Yu Chumeng blinked his eyes, holding back the discomfort.

She walked in front of Yu Jichang, helped him up with her own hands, and said warmly, "Master Yu, Huainan Mountains are high and waters are far away, you are well."

From the moment she became a princess, people could no longer call him father.

Yu Jichang nodded and said in a hoarse voice, "Everything is fine, Niangniang Xie misses you."

Xuan Wei could see that she was holding back her tears, forcibly suppressing her complicated emotions.

When he came to him again, Yu Chumeng took the initiative to reach out to him.

Xuan Wei was overjoyed, holding her hand and walking towards their dragon chair and phoenix seat together.

Before letting go of her hand, Xuan Wei rubbed the back of her hand with his fingertips and said softly, "Do you like it? This birthday ceremony."

Yu Chumeng made an inaudible "um" sound.

After letting everyone sit down, Eunuch Li carried two things and handed them to the queen's seat in front of everyone's eyes.

These two things are so bright that everyone may not have seen them, but they all know them. They are the Queen's golden seal and golden book.

"Return to the original owner."

Xuan Wei's light-hearted words caused an uproar in the hearts of everyone in the hall.

It's just that things are returned to the original owner, but this posture is like being sealed again. This announcement, lest the world know it, seems to not care how others will talk about it.

The queen was confiscated these two things. Something must have happened, and someone must be wrong.

The emperor's actions in this way are undoubtedly telling everyone that the queen is well deserved.Then it was him who was wrong.

People in the world may say that his temperament is unstable and emotional, that he has wronged the empress in vain for his wife's friendship, and even speculate that he recalled Yu Jichang to the imperial city because of his apology to the empress.All of these, he took care of.

Yu Chumeng smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

From coming in until now, Xuan Wei saw the joy in her eyes that she had not seen her father for a long time, and also saw that she was in a good mood, but there seemed to be no movement towards him.

Having seen her previous appearance, I knew that this smile was still as estranged as mountains and seas.

Ruan Wei looked at the seat, she saw that the queen was very restrained and did not look in Yu Jichang's direction, even if she was restrained, her tight cheeks betrayed her emotions.
