Chapter 360
In the 30th year of Tiansheng, November [-]th is the birthday of Empress Zhang.

Zhou Xining went out at the right time, not too early or too late. When she arrived at the palace gate, she brushed aside the curtains and glanced unhappily at the official carriages lined up outside Dongzhi Gate to enter the palace, and drove straight through another palace gate. went in.

She is the county lord who has entered the emperor's letter, and she can take the county lord's letter and walk through the clan passage to enter the palace gate. She doesn't have to wait for inspection like foreign wives, and she doesn't have to line up outside Dongzhi Gate.

"That's... the He family's carriage?!"

"Is that Zhou Xining? Can she go straight into the palace?"

Some people looked at the He family's carriage going straight into the palace gate with sour eyes and complicated hearts.

In the past, no matter how noble Zhou Xining was among noble ladies, he had to queue up with them to wait for the inspection when he entered the palace.I didn't expect to be able to enter the palace directly after getting married.Back then, everyone was still laughing in private that she was the proud daughter of heaven who married a sick Wufu who no one wanted.But the He family didn't have a mother-in-law who was tricky and difficult to serve, no housemate who wanted to get ahead, no concubine who wanted to replace the mistress, and no concubine children who tried their best to plan.For this alone, Zhou Xining is better off than many people.

What's more, the Xijue of the sick and weak prince who has been down for more than ten years has suddenly become the hottest Hehou in the court who can hold 30 military power.

The sourness on those people's faces and the jealousy in their eyes, although they were all fleeting, Zhou Xining, who lifted the curtain of the car, caught sight of them, and she couldn't help but curled her lips and let out a cold snort.

If it wasn't for the overall stability of Xuanguo, she really wanted to sit and watch these people fall into the hands of the fifth prince and see what would happen to them.

The queen set up the banquet in the Zhanghe Hall, because it was winter, a row of braziers were placed inside, rippling with warmth.Zhou Xining took off his cloak as soon as he entered the door, handed it to the maidservant standing beside him, and smiled softly at the maidservant.

Zhou Xining sat down in his seat, looked around, and found that most of the seats were already occupied, only the seat of Zhou's family was empty.

The eldest wife of the Zhou family, Mrs. Su, said that she has been ill for more than ten years, the second wife is not of high rank, and the third wife is not an official.Although the palace post for the queen's birthday was still sent to Zhou's family, Zhang Qi was also given a separate copy as a show of honor.But Zhang Qi didn't come either, she was happy again, for about two months, afraid of being overjoyed, so she didn't go out.

The corners of Zhou Xining's lips curled up. She thought that Zhou Shanran would come, but it's fine if he doesn't come. Today's meal is not good.

Alas...

Seeing the person walking towards her slowly, Zhou Xining stood up abruptly, gave a hasty salute, then reached out to support her arm and said, "You say you, why are you here to join in the fun with your stomach full? Is His Royal Highness so relieved?"

"The queen mother's birthday is always coming, I'll come back after a while, it's okay." Xie Zhu'er said with a smile while stroking Xianhuai's abdomen with her slender hands.

Xie Zhu'er married into the Eastern Palace in early May this year, and she was diagnosed with a happy pulse in July. She is now nearly five months pregnant. Although she has secured her pregnancy, she has just started to show her pregnancy, but today is destined to be a stormy day. She really shouldn't have come on a day full of doors.

Looking at Xie Zhu'er, who was shining with the radiance of a loving mother, Zhou Sining felt a little uncomfortable.Chu Yuchen once said that he chose the princess concubine but did not discuss the wedding date because he was poisoned, and it was also because of the poison that he hurriedly married Xie Zhuer into the East Palace. He was afraid that the poison he was poisoned would eventually be unsolvable. Can't survive this year.He said that now that Xie Zhu'er is pregnant smoothly, if there is an emergency, it can be regarded as a thought for his father who loves and spoils him.

He said, those brothers of his were either too vicious in their means, or too cowardly and incompetent in nature, and they were all unbearable to be kings.Although his son may not be qualified for the post, at least he has something to look forward to.After all, her father's harem had not been released for many years, and the origin of Huang Concubine's birth was somewhat unknown, which was the real reason why she was thrown into the cold palace.

Knowing that something will happen today, but still let Xie Zhuer come here.Should she say that His Royal Highness has too much heart, or should she say that she trusts her too much, thinking that she will be able to protect Xie Zhu'er?

She didn't want such trust, Zhou Xining felt quite a headache.

After a while, she really didn't dare to say that she could take care of Xie Zhu'er.But it doesn't seem appropriate to let her stay in the East Palace. What the fifth prince is targeting today is the East Palace.

Because today is the day that His Highness the Crown Prince is scheduled to die from poison.

It has to be said that the Fifth Prince was really ruthless. His Highness the Crown Prince was poisoned to death on Queen Zhang's birthday. Such a big gift was thrown around, even if she didn't intervene in the layout, it would still be enough for Queen Zhang to drink a pot.

"There are so many people in a mess today, you must be careful, what you have in your stomach is the eldest son of His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhou Sining told Xie Zhu'er.

"Understood, why haven't you been so wordy before." Xie Zhu'er covered her lips and smiled.

"You didn't have a big belly before." Zhou Xining replied unceremoniously.

With the name of the county lord, Zhou Xining was only ranked after the princesses, but none of the princesses could come to the banquet today. The emperor didn't have a few princesses in total, and the adult marriage married out of Beijing.There are also two underage princesses, one is Princess Fujia, who is about to turn one year old, and the other has been recuperating in another palace all year round since she was a child. gift giving.

Although there were no princesses in this row, there were still two princesses and several county heads who were from the royal clan, but Zhou Xining's seat was arranged at the head of this row.

The county lords were fine, but the two princesses were a little dissatisfied and asked the maids who accompanied them, and the reply was that the county lord Yongshun's fief rank was equal to them, but the county lord Yongshun was in charge of the fief order. letter, so they ranked ahead of them.

Although this is true, the maidservant's ostentatious reply instantly caused the two princesses to grit their teeth in jealousy. After glaring at Zhou Xining fiercely, they tossed their sleeves and sat behind her.

But in the line of royal family wives, the Crown Princess ranks ahead of all the princes, concubines and princesses, so the two are so close to each other.

Zhou Xining couldn't hide this little movement, but she just smiled without saying a word.He didn't even look back at the two princesses who were dissatisfied with puffed cheeks.

She came to the banquet today for only one purpose, to cooperate with Mu Yu to take down Concubine Mei Xian and Empress Zhang in one fell swoop, and at the same time ensure that the officials and family members attending the banquet would not fall into the hands of the fifth prince, and take them back to their respective homes after they escaped unscathed.

Oh, now that His Highness the Crown Prince forced another one, she still has to protect Xie Zhuer from harm.Today's storm, no matter who caused it, can't fall on her at all.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Xie Zhu'er, who was smiling like a normal person, and Zhou Xining gritted his teeth.She did all her calculations, but she didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would send the Crown Princess over here, so she counted on her without making a sound.
