The world is heavy and late

Chapter 168 The Birthday Banquet ([-])
When the hour was almost up, Xiang Cang came in to give Xia Qing a signal, and Xia Qing nodded Gu Weiyun's back.

Gu Weiyun nodded, and said to everyone: "Madams, please move to the middle hall, the children are already waiting."

Everyone got up and prepared to go out, Xia Qing turned his head to look at Qiao Huan, and Qiao Huan went down to prepare.

When everyone arrived at the middle hall, they saw that the people were almost seated.

Xia Qing helped Gu Weiyun to sit down, and the prince came in from the door, followed by Aunt Qiu who was holding Jingning.

After the prince came in, everyone stood up and saluted, but this time Gu Weiyun didn't move.

The eight-year-old prince looked much thinner than the previous few years, but he looked more like his father. At such a young age, his eyes were already full of contempt.

He stepped forward and took a look at Xia Qing, then saluted Gu Weiyun uprightly: "I have seen the queen mother."

Gu Weiyun was stunned for a moment, then there was a gleam in her eyes, she got up and pulled the prince to sit on the first seat under her head, saying: "Why are you here so early?"

The crown prince waved his hand to get up all the people who saluted him, and then said: "Today is Jingning's Catch Zhou, so Gu will arrive early."

Speaking of which, Aunt Qiu also handed Jingning over to Gu Weiyun.

Someone came forward and began to exchange parenting experiences with Gu Weiyun.

Of course, there are still many people who are still putting on airs, staring at the things on their desks, refusing to say a word, for fear of losing their worth by talking to Gu Weiyun.

Duke Zhen's wife also had an ugly expression on her face, and what was even more ugly was the faces of the young ladies, because Mrs. Gu was sitting opposite them, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Mrs. Gu was also a little uncomfortable.

Princess An looked at the distinct postures on both sides, lowered her eyes, and felt a little ridiculous.

Gu Weiyun chatted with these old ladies for a while, and heard a sound as expected: "Speaking of which, there are only two princes in this palace, after all, they are still a little thin."

Some of them put down the teacup they were holding in their hands just now with smiles on their faces, and continued with a smile: "Who says it's not? I heard that Empress Cui Jieyu is seriously ill, and Empress Shu stays in the palace all day long. Isn't the harem deserted?"

Xia Qing had expected it a long time ago, but still felt very upset.

Just because no one in Gu Weiyun's family is an official, and they are not from aristocratic families, these people dare to say these words directly and directly intervene in the affairs of the harem.

Which onions are they?

Today, when girls from other families sit in this seat, how dare they say this?
Gu Weiyun hugged Jing Ning in his arms and didn't say a word, these two were just young women, and their positions were not too far forward.

Xia Qing said: "I wonder if the two ladies are...?"

The faces of the two who had just exited immediately sank, and everyone didn't speak for a while.

The prince took a sip of tea bored and watched Xia Qing fight with those people.

He wasn't worried about Xia Qing at all. With him here, how could Xia Qing be bullied by others?

And Xia Qing is not a soft persimmon to pinch, he lowered his head by the movement of drinking tea, to hide the excitement in his heart from watching the theater.

The prince, who was [-]% like the emperor, of course also liked to watch the excitement.

An Yang next to Princess An stared at Xia Qing curiously. She felt that this aunt seemed to be the aunt who winked at Master Xu that day. Is she so courageous?
Everyone began to turn their eyes to Xia Qing gradually.

Gu Weiyun was still hugging Jingning and coaxing softly, not caring about these things at all, of course her eyes were mostly smiling.

The two people who just spoke didn't want to talk to Xia Qing, just like Gu Weiyun didn't want to talk to these two people, they lost their identity and face, and they couldn't do anything about it.

Qiao Huan, who was behind Xia Qing, immediately answered with interest: "It should be the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Qiu's family, and...the wife of Mr. Yu Shitan."

Xia Qing just smiled, nodded to the two of them and said, "Ma'am, don't blame me. I thought the two were the wives of the clan's mansion, and I didn't want to admit my mistake."

The prince, Princess An and many family members suppressed their laughter, and the prince even raised his teacup and took another sip.

I thought Xia Qing was really hurtful. Is this scolding the two wives for not being in their positions and plotting their own affairs?

The faces of the two ladies also turned red and then pale, especially when they saw the expressions of everyone, they instantly became ashamed and annoyed.

Mrs. Song's complexion also became tense, and she said directly: "Madam, I'm just relying on my age to say that this aunt is too ignorant. Madam should be more selective in her employment."

Gu Weiyun's smile just now slowly disappeared. Originally, she didn't want to do anything to Mrs. Song.

No one feels comfortable when their queen is gone, but... She hates people talking about Xia Qing.

She weighed the meat dumpling in her bosom, and said: "Old Madam, please forgive me, I also thought that I had admitted the wrong person, but it is not easy to ask in public, Xia Qing must have gone because of Bengong's intentions. "

Mrs. Song was even more unhappy when she saw that Gu Weiyun dared to refute back, so she said to Gu Weiyun: "Your Majesty is still young, it's normal not to know. This palace is indeed too thin. Your Majesty was busy with political affairs in the previous dynasty. The busy harem still needs someone to take care of it.”

After saying this, Mrs. Zhang curled her lips, thinking that this old guy is still overbearing and loves to pretend for ten years.

Gu Weiyun's complexion did not change much, but Xia Qing's complexion was extremely bad.

This clearly means that Gu Weiyun is young, has no ability to be a queen, and is jealous of not allowing the emperor to adopt a concubine.

Gu Weiyun smiled, and said to the old lady: "Madam, don't worry, the harem is still your majesty's place, and the people here should naturally be liked by your majesty. Besides, His Royal Highness is smart and agile, and heirs are also a matter of fate, so don't be in a hurry of."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the people below and said, "Speaking of which, there is one more thing. This palace wants to select female officials from the people next year, and every three years after that. If there are ladies in the family who want to enter the palace Yes, that would be great."

After all, she didn't like to mess with Mrs. Song in front of the prince and Aunt Qiu, so she changed the topic first.

She was not in a hurry, because now she was the superior.

As soon as the news came out, the scene became lively again.

Many people's eyes flickered fiercely, choosing female officials to enter the palace?That is if his daughter enters the palace.

Before finishing a few sentences, Xu Ji's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty is here."

As soon as the emperor came in, he saw Gu Weiyun dressed up, and felt a little itchy in his heart.

After taking His Royal Highness Jing Ning from her hand, he said to everyone: "Get up."

When everyone stood up and walked down, many young ladies who had not left the cabinet began to look at the emperor, and this look made many young ladies blush quietly.

The emperor didn't pay attention at all, after all, the most beautiful one was already in his palace.

He weighed Jing Ning, and Jing Ning was obviously very happy to see the emperor, and she yelled, occasionally saying, "Fu, father..."

The emperor was even happier, he turned around and said, "This kid didn't sleep today?"

Gu Weiyun said: "These days, I dare not let him sleep at this time."

The emperor looked at the son in his hand and said, "Then let's start."

The intimacy of the empress made some people think about it, made some people feel at ease, and made some people feel uncomfortable.

Xia Qing stood behind and looked at the people on the field, feeling a little emotional, the position is indeed a multi-faceted thing.

After all the things were moved up, His Highness Jing Ning got a book as expected, so everyone present started to get up.

Xia Qing was silent behind him. This was the result of several days of practice.

Jing Ning completed her own catches early on, and what she caught were all weird ones, which made Gu Weiyun very worried, and made Xia Qing and the prince amused.

His Royal Highness Jing Ning showed his true colors very early on.

The emperor had a banquet with the crowd and then left. He didn't want to be with a group of women.

Gu Weiyun also left, and Xia Qing sent Mrs. Gu out of the palace as usual.

But she didn't expect that it was a very smooth day, why would there always be some people who want to cause trouble.

Do they really think that in a place like the capital, they deserve to be ranked?
