As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 352
"Thank you, mother, sister." Li Xiaoyue listened to Qiu Yeli's instructions, her eyes became moist unconsciously, and she looked at the two moved and said.

Before he knew it, he had already arrived outside the Qingliang Hall, where the palace feast was held.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is discussing the state affairs with the ministers, and may come later." Ruolan lowered her head and said in a steady voice.

"Well, let's go down and have a banquet later." Qiu Yeli nodded in response.

The palace maid stepped forward and opened the door of the palace, and there were endless discussions in low voices. The ladies have arrived, the silk and bamboo orchestras, singing and dancing are very lively.

Men and women do not sit at the same table, the male guests are in the outer hall, and the female relatives are in the inner hall.

"Empress, Princess Liyue, and Princess Qingfeng are here!" the servant's shrill voice rang out.

Qiu Yeli straightened her back and stepped in slowly, with Li Xiaozhu and Li Xiaoyue following beside her.

"See empress, Your Royal Highness!" Everyone got up one after another, bowing their heads respectfully.

"Excuse me." Qiu Yeli said lightly, and walked towards the main seat with a strong aura. The two princesses also took their seats, and everyone sat down.

"I am very pleased that all the ladies are here to celebrate my birthday. Today, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers. It is good for everyone to enjoy themselves."

Qiu Yeli's light and ethereal voice was extremely comfortable in the hearts of everyone, she did not give orders from above, and the distance between everyone was shortened as soon as she said these words.

"Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of Industry presents a pair of Fire Color Jade Ruyi as a gift, wishing the empress a long life!"

The servant spoke loudly and sang loudly.The woman in the costume of a doomed woman stood up and saluted.

"Mrs. Huiguo presents two thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and three hundred-year-old ginseng!"

The servant's voice sounded, Qiu Yeli's face was indifferent, showing no emotion.

As soon as the words were finished, the woman in the dark purple dress stood up. She was in her 40s and her well-maintained face showed few traces of aging. Mountain ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, I hope my mother likes it."

Qiu Yeli smiled and said, "Madame Guo has a heart."

Then, the eunuch read one after another, and everyone listened quietly, knowing that they heard Ding Yao's name.

Li Xiaozhu frowned slightly, and the eunuch paused, after all, only the wives of the first wife could attend the banquet.

"A gift from the Ding family, the concubine of the General's Mansion of Peking University, an authentic painting by Jiang Hanzi."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion. Some people ridiculed that Ding Yao was overconfident, and that a mere concubine dared to appear at the Queen's birthday banquet, which is simply shameless.

Some people paid attention to the congratulatory gift. Jiang Hanzi's authentic works are hard to find even if they are worth thousands of dollars. They speculated whether it was General Lin who helped them. The relationship between the two seemed to be quite good.

Qiu Yeli smiled slightly, and thanked Ding Yao as a matter of routine, no matter what, it was Gu Jingyao who personally ordered him not to let her go too far, but Li Xiaozhu was relentless, fighting for her sister's injustice, thinking of her injustice a few days ago When Mingpinxuan saw her, he didn't expect to find paintings for his mother's birthday banquet. It really took so much pains!

After the eunuch finished reading, the maid next to her was about to put away the gift, but she heard Li Xiaozhu say, "Wait a minute."

Her voice was clear, but it could not be ignored. Everyone looked at her with curiosity on their faces. Everyone knew that Ding Yao's grievances with the royal family were now more people watching.

In the middle of the banquet, Mrs. Ding subconsciously clenched her fists and looked nervously at the distinguished person ahead.

She can endure the pointing and pointing at herself and Ding Yao by all the official women in the court. After all, those who make big things don't care about small things. When their plan is successful, these people can only crawl at her feet, but right now, stop It was Princess Qingfeng, and she couldn't help but sweat, of course she had heard that this princess was very domineering.

"Aunt Ding's congratulatory gift is very rare. She really is a well-deserved talented woman in Kyoto. I have always been a lover of painting. I know that Jiang Hanzi's paintings are extremely precious, so I might as well open them up. Let's enjoy them together to help my mother's birthday. how?"

Li Xiaozhu's words were loud and sound, advancing and retreating appropriately, people had no room to refuse, and Ding Yao's complexion was slightly pale, and his eyes dodged unnaturally, Li Xiaozhu's heart sank. Is there really something wrong with this painting?
She just saw that the scroll of the picture scroll was a little different, and she was a little curious.

Although Jiang Hanzi's paintings are rare, they are not out of print. She once found a pair in Gu Jingyao's study, and the paintings are indeed perfect.

"His Royal Highness, the princess, praises me. Since His Royal Highness is interested, I will naturally do whatever I want." The words were timid, with a pitiful appearance of being wronged but unable to resist, and could only be bullied by others.

Li Xiaozhu frowned slightly, and naturally understood what she meant. Looking at the wives below who were whispering, or who were wise and careful, her thoughts were further strengthened. This Ding Yao is definitely not waiting for nothing. generation.

Li Xiaoyue looked over worried and puzzled, and saw that she gave herself a look that looked like me, she shook her head helplessly. She has always understood Li Xiaozhu's character, and I am afraid that Ding Yao will not have a good life if she falls into her hands. .

What Li Xiaozhu dislikes the most in her life is green tea. The more she pretends to be cute and pitiful, the more merciless she is. In the past, she often provoked the pretentious official daughters in foreign prisons, so her reputation in the capital is definitely not good. It's great.

"Okay, bring the painting here!" Li Xiaozhu said loudly with a smile, and the maid lowered her head and presented the painting.

Mrs. Ding breathed a sigh of relief. This painting is indeed real, and she asked Mingpinxuan to look for it. Fortunately, she found it. As always, the Queen is very interested in the painting. After that, she relaxed, looked at the painting in a leisurely manner, and accepted the amazing praise from everyone, so what about the concubine's room?She still has a way of making her daughter stand out.

Ding Yao stood aside pretending to be calm, but unconsciously tightened the veil in her hands.

Mingyue was also a little nervous, but she spoke softly, she didn't know whether she was comforting herself or Ding Yao, "Don't be afraid girl, no one will find out!"

Ding Yao didn't respond, but stared fixedly at the eunuch holding the painting.

Yes, this painting is a fake.

Following the little eunuch's movements, the scroll was unfolded, and a freehand landscape painting appeared in front of everyone, with clear and magnificent brushstrokes, which made people unable to stop admiring at a glance.

"As expected of Master Jiang Hanzi's proud work, it is really great, the painting is majestic and fascinating!"

"It's true! It's true! This girl Ding is not simple, she can get a painting by Master Jiang Hanzi!"
