Chapter 251
Mu Zhixu was talking to Princess Changle in a low voice.

A few girls came to them first, they were all younger than her, and they were princesses according to the grade of palace attire.

"Yaoguang, you probably haven't seen them before. These two are the eldest princess and the second princess." Princess Changle quickly introduced to Mu Zhixu.

Princesses only get titles after they get married, unless they are deeply loved by the emperor.

The eldest princess came from the noble concubine Cui's family. At the age of thirteen, she was the oldest child of the emperor. The second princess came from the Xian concubine Wang's family.

The four concubines all have children, and Zhaoyi, the head of the nine concubines, also has a child, a six-year-old princess. Apart from Su Zhaoyuan, there is also Xiuyi, who also gave birth to a son.

The queen also has a child, and she is the eldest son, who is seven years old this year.

After Mu Zhixu knew about the emperor's harem, he couldn't help but support his forehead. The high-ranking concubines were basically filled, and everyone except Su Zhaoyuan had children.

The harem has always been more expensive for mothers and children, and it is really extremely complicated.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, but there was no flaw in her face, "I have seen the two princesses."

She has a thousand etiquettes and manners, and she can't find the slightest fault.

The eyes of the two princesses moved slightly, "Sister Yaoguang, you don't need to be polite, sit down quickly."

elder sister?

Mu Zhixu frowned secretly, the princess is so polite to her?

After a few gossips, a few people sat down and observed secretly. The noble ladies here were a little surprised to see the princess and Mu Zhi Xu Yan laughing at Yan Yan.

Immediately, it became complicated, and now they had to admit that Princess Yaoguang was very capable.

It's not easy to deal with Princess Changle, even the princess is kind to her.

"The emperor is here! The empress is here! The imperial concubine is here..." After almost the time, the emperor arrived with the empress and concubines.

"Greetings to the emperor, the empress, long live the emperor, long live the empress, and the empress..." Everyone in the hall bowed down.

Emperor Tai'an led the empress to the front of the dragon and phoenix chairs, and then raised his hand, "Everyone is flat."

"Thanks my emperor."

The ring is fat, the swallows are thin, and each has its own merits.

Mu Zhixu took a quick look at the concubines above him, and eight words came to his mind.

Today is the palace banquet, and all the concubines attended in full dress, with jewels and emerald heads, extremely gorgeous.

Gu Lin was sitting opposite Mu Zhixu. He saw Mu Zhixu's eyes and suddenly remembered the first time they met.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, how could he have forgotten that Ash likes beauties, no matter male or female.

Mu Zhixu withdrew his eyes long before others noticed.

"Huh? Does the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion have no female relatives to attend the palace banquet?" She looked around, and asked the Princess Changle next to her in a low voice, seemingly inadvertently.

At this time, singing and dancing were being performed in the open space in front of them, and no one paid attention to them.

"You mean Princess Jing'an, right?" Chang Le glanced at Xia Houzheng, the eldest son of Zhenbei Prince who was facing Gu Lin.

He realized that Xia Houzheng had glanced in their direction just now, but he wasn't sure who he was looking at.

Mu Zhixu nodded, "Well, I've heard about the name of Princess Jing'an for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to see it."

Princess Jing'an is Xia Houqing's title.

As the concubine's daughter of a vassal king, she was born as a princess, and after Jiji, Emperor Tai'an bestowed the title of 'Jing'an'.

In Dayan, there is also a big difference in the rank of the princess.

A princess without a title is the fourth rank, a one-character title is the third rank, and a double-character title is the second rank, while Xiang Mu Zhixu, who has a fief, is the first rank.

"Although Princess Jing'an lives in the capital in name, she actually spends very little time there, and even seldom shows up at palace banquets. Look over there..." Princess Changle gestured to Mu Zhixu with her eyes.

"Over there is Princess Jing'an's natal family, and Princess Jing'an is the only one who has stepped into her natal family three times."

It's strange that I have been in the capital for more than ten years, and the number of times I went to my mother's house can be counted on the fingers.

"You can take a look at Song Fuyi of Duke An's Mansion." Princess Changle suddenly said without thinking.

An Guogong's mansion is Xia Houqing's natal family.

Mu Zhixu was puzzled, "Song Fuyi? Why?"

She really took a look at the position of the female relatives of Duke Anguo's mansion over there. Song Fuyi's demeanor was elegant, with a bookish atmosphere, and she was as quiet as a girl. She thought of four words.

"Xia Houqing is a bit like her. If you can't see Xia Houqing, it's good to see her."

Mu Zhixu...

She withdrew her gaze, "Just make fun of me."

Chang Le saw her curling her lips and couldn't help but smile, some people's heads look like new, and some people are as old as before.

Maybe she and Princess Yaoguang are the latter?
After Mu Zhixu withdrew his gaze, he didn't realize that Song Fuyi's gaze was also on her.

"Your Majesty, it's always boring to watch the performances of prostitutes and dancers in the palace. How about some new ones?" A soft and charming voice rang out, and everyone subconsciously fell silent.

It's Concubine Cui.

The first of the four concubines, Concubine Cui Gui, who ranks only below the empress, has the arrogance of a noble daughter in her eyes. She is well-dressed and well-dressed, and she is obviously very favored.

The emperor put down his wine glass, interested, "What suggestion does Aifei have?"

"Why don't you let the ladies here come? As for the performance, feel free to do so." She smiled, but couldn't see any clues.

But Mu Zhixu felt a little hostility in her casual glance just now.

Mu Zhixu's eyelids are half drooping, and the dignified concubine is actually hostile to her?
This is really... so much fun.

I don't know if it's hostility towards her, or hostility towards her face.

"Hahaha, Aifei's proposal is very good." The emperor readily agreed.

Just during this period of time, the capital city was full of turmoil, and even the palace banquet was deserted, so it would be good to relax.

"Then according to Concubine Ai, who will come first?"

After the emperor finished speaking, Mu Zhixu noticed that the ladies present sat up straight subconsciously.

She glanced at the queen above, she was still dignified, graceful and luxurious, and there was no flaw on her face.

"For the sake of fairness, let's draw lots, but since the emperor has agreed to the proposal of performing arts, then we have to prepare for a bit of a lottery." Cui Guifei's eyes fluttered, looking bright.

Not to mention men, even Mu Zhixu felt that his bones were a little crisp after seeing it.

The queen remained as still as a mountain, as if she didn't see the provocative eyes of Concubine Cui Gui.

"Well, whoever wins the first place, I will reward her with a jade wish." The emperor was very forthright.

"Since the emperor offered a reward, the concubine should also bring out a phoenix hairpin, Xue Fu, bring the phoenix hairpin that was sent to my palace years ago." The queen said calmly.

Ordinary people in Dayan cannot use phoenix hairpins, ladies from official families can use three phoenix hairpins, women of noble families can use five phoenix hairpins, and above five phoenix hairpins can only be used by people in the harem.

And the Queen uses Jiufeng!
If it's a reward, it's certainly not a violation of the rules. Mu Zhixu found out that when the queen said nothing, nothing but excitement appeared in the eyes of the female relatives present.

Concubine Cui Guifei's expression turned ugly for a moment.
