The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 234

There are many things in the first month, but for the second room of the Zhenguo government, the most important thing is the 45th birthday of the eldest princess on the tenth day of the first month.

Because it is a whole life, it is naturally more grand than in previous years.

On the birthday of the eldest princess, the emperor brought Empress Cao, concubine Meng Gui and all his children to the eldest princess mansion.

After the birthday banquet, Emperor Ming and the empress and concubine went back to the palace, but the emperor's nephews and daughters-in-law were scrambling to show their filial piety, reluctant to stay to accompany the eldest princess to drink tea and listen to the opera.

The eldest princess didn't understand what they were thinking, these women just wanted to curry favor with her by celebrating her birthday, so as to help their husband win the heir.But today is her birthday, and Fu Xi didn't want to save these people's face, so he let them.

After the birthday banquet, dances, operas and entertainment were arranged, and everyone surrounded the eldest princess and listened to "Mu Guiying in Command" in the hall. Linggong, the concubine looks better than the musicians in the palace."

After hearing the flattering words, the eldest princess didn't show any expression on her face, she just said lightly: "That's right."

That Zhou Qing has tried her best to fight for favor since Dong Lie climbed up to crown prince Zhao Bi last time and was brought into the East Palace. Now she is quite favored by Zhao Bi in the East Palace and has been named Liangdi.

Seeing that the Crown Princess was unable to curry favor with the Eldest Princess, Zhou Qing hurriedly said, "Although this Mu Guiying is a daughter, she has a heart for the world. Every time a concubine hears this play, she feels deeply moved."

As she said that, she looked at the eldest princess and said flatteringly: "I listened to this play at the imperial aunt's house today, but I often heard my father and His Highness talk about the legend of you being a womanizer when you were young. I also admire the emperor's aunt."

Seeing that Zhou Qing came to steal her limelight again, the princess's phoenix eyes were slightly angry, and Zhou Qing secretly rolled her eyes.

The eldest princess listened absently to Zhou Qing's flattery, and still replied two words indifferently: "That's right."

Seeing the indifferent attitude of the eldest princess, Zhou Qing's fiery heart suddenly fell to the bottom, and her face could not help but turn from sunny to cloudy.

Seeing that Zhou Qing was deflated in front of the eldest princess just like herself, the crown princess felt a little more balanced, but she still couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhou Qing.

The eldest princess couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the little actions of the two nieces and daughters-in-law below. After listening to the play, she took a sip of tea and said with a quiet smile to her daughter-in-law sitting next to her: "This pine needle I asked them to fry it with frost and snow picked from plum blossoms according to the method you said, how about you try it?"

Jing Shu took a sip, smiled and replied to the eldest princess: "There is a faint fragrance of plum in the tea, mother's tea is very good."

The eldest princess smiled and replied: "I also like this taste very much. Your method is really good. After the first month, you will not be too busy there. Let's make tea together."

The third girl sitting on the other side of the eldest princess listened to her mother praise her sister-in-law, she leaned over and smiled and asked, "Does mother like the light gauze bed curtain embroidered with the three friends of Suihan that I gave to mother?"

The eldest princess stroked her daughter's hair, with a look of surprise on her face: "I still have to ask you, you have always been the worst at female sex, and mother didn't know that you are so good at embroidery now? The bed curtain The repair is really great, my mother likes it very much, and has ordered them to hang it up."

The eldest princess lovingly touched her daughter and said comfortingly: "My daughter is really getting better and better now, and my mother is very relieved."

The third girl was really guilty of being praised by the princess' mother, she stuck out her tongue at the eldest princess, and said coquettishly: "Tell mother the truth, the bed curtain was embroidered by my second sister-in-law."

After hearing this, the eldest princess glared at her daughter: "You child, if you can't embroider, why bother to be brave? Your second sister-in-law is already busy enough with managing the family's house, and you still want to make trouble."

The third girl pouted and said, "I just ask my second sister-in-law to guide me. I ask my sister-in-law to help me when I encounter difficult places. Most of them are embroidered by my daughter."

Aunt Ju on the side laughed and joked: "I'm still wondering, Miss San, how the popularity of this woman has improved by leaps and bounds. It turns out that she met a famous teacher."

The third girl smiled sweetly at Grandma Ju: "Second sister-in-law can do everything well, and she has a good temper and is patient enough to teach me, so I am willing to follow suit."

The eldest princess's phoenix eyes were curved, and she looked at her daughter dotingly, and then at her daughter-in-law.

Taking advantage of the eldest princess's good mood, Princess Jin hurriedly flattered and said: "Aunt Huang, the prince and my concubine know that you like to listen to elegant music, so our couple specially found an artist who can play elegant music to present to my aunt."

As she spoke, she winked at the personal maid behind her, and after a while, the maid led an actor holding a Guqin into the room slowly.

With a deep smile on her face, Princess Jin stepped forward and said, "Aunt Huang, why don't you let this actor present a song for you."

The eldest princess nodded slightly.

Princess Jin was flattered, and hurriedly called the actor to come forward.

The actress had a very winking look, and she played with the piano instruments.Respectfully asked, "His Royal Highness, please order a song."

The eldest princess glanced at Jin Wangfei, and replied calmly: "Bo Yue and Zhongxuan will come over later, and I am going to change clothes now. Let this actor play whatever you like."

Zhongxuan is Li Xiang's character.

After the eldest princess finished speaking, she left the banquet hall slowly without waiting for everyone's reaction.

As soon as the Eldest Princess left, the Crown Princess glanced at Princess Jin's slumped face, and teased eccentrically, "Sister and sister, what songs do you know as an actress? Although the imperial aunt is not here anymore, we still want to hear your acting." The work piece is an eye-opener."

Concubine Jin's sharp eyes swept across the face of the Crown Princess, and said: "No matter how good I am as an actress, I can't compare to those in the palace. How can I open the eyes of the emperor's wife?"

Just now, in order to please the Eldest Princess, the Crown Princess said that the actors in the Princess Mansion are better than those in the palace, and now hearing Princess Jin's retaliatory response to her, the Crown Princess was so annoyed that she didn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing the embarrassment of the Crown Princess being bullied by Jin Wangfei, Zhou Qing felt relieved and said with a half-smile: "Jin Wangfei's words are inappropriate, you don't know, the Crown Princess's sister has never liked singing and dancing. Whether it's the work or the musicians in the palace, none of them can come into my sister's eyes."

The prince Zhao Bi was the most joyful, but the princess concubine was an old-fashioned woman who had never been familiar with music and dance, because she did not share the same interests as the prince, so she did not like Zhao Bi either.

Zhou Qing was favored by the crown prince, so she felt disobedient towards the crown princess. When she said this, she was undoubtedly secretly mocking the crown princess.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Qing's words, the princess's face became ugly, but it was hard to reprimand her because she was outside.

She gave Zhou Qing a vicious look, and her hands under her wide sleeves clenched into fists with hatred.
