What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 18
It was Xie Chenke who spoke.

She was dressed in a chestnut python robe, and her long and narrow eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Xie Chenyu turned the cup in his hand and drank the last sip of pear blossom brew.

"Second brother, stay safe and sound."

"Sixth Brother Lao is thinking about it, it's been pretty good recently"

Everyone knows that in order to celebrate the Queen's birthday, Xie Chenke personally went to the Gobi Desert to find a piece of full-green emerald weighing six catties, and then went to the southwest to ask the master to carve a Guanyin.

Finally, I went to Mount Emei and invited a hundred-year-old abbot to chant scriptures and consecrate him.

A Jade Avalokitesvara traveled all over half of the Dasheng Dynasty, and it took a full ninety-nine and 81 days.

"I don't have that ability, I just hope that the emperor's brother will get a reward from the father and queen mother, so that the younger brother can also get a share of the rewards."

While speaking, a pair of hands were already on Lin Ximeng's slender waist.

Lin Ximeng was dressed in the most common maid costume, her hair was simply combed into a double bun, and she didn't even have a decent hairpin.

Even with such a crude attire, it can be seen at a glance that it looks like a country and a city.

Xie Chenke knew that this woman was by no means an ordinary maidservant, so his eyes fell on Xie Chenyu's exquisite brocade robe with golden silk and cloud pattern, and he said with a smile:

"Brilliant clothes and jade belts, golden crowns and hair, and a beauty in his arms, it is indeed the sixth brother who enjoys it the most"

"That's nature"

Xie Chenyu ate a piece of kumquat with the help of the beauty's arm, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

"Father is in the prime of life, mother and queen are benevolent and loving, the brothers are all capable, why should I be so tired?"

"Study is too tiring, but riding and shooting is still a bit interesting. If you practice hard, you won't be ashamed of your father. The rest depends on the brothers."

There is a bad mentality in the words.

Xie Chenke's eyes warmed up slightly.

"Sure enough, the sixth brother is lucky"

Half an hour later, the emperor and empress came hand in hand.

After saluting and taking his seat, the old emperor Xie Fuming waved his hand to express that today's queen will be forever, and everything will be obeyed by the queen.

The old queen was flattered and quickly thanked her.

Soon the hall was singing and dancing.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone began to offer birthday gifts.

What the old emperor gave was a red coral as tall as a tree and a person, which was precious and rare.

The queen walked around three or four times happily, touching here and looking there, her cloudy eyes glistened with tears.

"The concubine thanked the emperor for his love"

"It's worth nothing, as long as the queen likes it"

The emperor's generous appearance made the eyes of the concubines all red.

Especially Concubine Meng.

Lin Ximeng clearly saw that jealousy in her eyes was about to overflow, and if she wanted to live in this deep palace, it would be no good to spoil Sacred Heart alone.

The second prince gave a Jade Avalokitesvara, and the empress smiled so much that she asked Fang Rui to hand it over to caress it, and then praised Xie Chenke.

The rest of the birthday gift is nothing special.

Embroidery, longevity peaches, handmade knee pads, gold and silver jewelry, various birthday noodles and so on.

The mother has been in the world for many years, and the warehouse of the desired and unwanted queens has long been overwhelmed.

She sat on the head, smiled decently and said she was bothering.

After presenting the gift, the old emperor took the queen's hand and said, "I have been taking care of the harem for so many years. The queen has worked hard. I respect you."

The queen's eyes turned red, and she took the emperor's wine glass with both hands.

"This is the responsibility of the concubine. As long as the emperor remembers it, the concubine will never work hard."

The queen was moved again.

The people below saw the empress's deep love, whether it was true or false, their faces were full of joy and harmony.

The witty ones even flattered, and the hall was very lively for a while.

While chatting and laughing, when mentioning the marriage of the princes and princesses, the queen suddenly began to worry.

"Our Dasheng Dynasty has a rule of late marriage, but you all can't just wait, you still have to see each other early"

She looked at the second prince Xie Chenke.

"Before I chose several, I was not satisfied. I don't know what Ke'er wants?"

He also urged the third prince Xie Chenkang and his biological mother Chen Guifei.

"You can't just focus on beauty. Marry a wife and marry a virtuous person. Sister Chen still looks at each other a lot. Don't let Kang'er mess around."

Chen Guifei stumbled and said that she had been looking at each other all the time.

The queen talked about the fifth prince, Xie Chenmu.

"Mu'er is also seventeen, so you can start preparing for any girl you like."

Zhao Meiren, the biological mother of the fifth prince, quickly got up to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Empress, for your concern. If you find someone you like later, the concubine will definitely ask your empress to make the decision as soon as possible."

The queen was in a good state of mind and body, and after a few words of joking with Zhao Meiren, she turned her gaze to Xie Chenyu.

"I'm sorry that your mother and concubine left early. If you don't dislike it, how many good ones will I choose for you?"

Xie Chenyu got up unhurriedly.

"Thank you mother for caring, my son is not in a hurry"

"A wife is no better than a concubine. Although the sons and ministers are not sensible, they also know the truth of the love between a married couple and a concubine. If you want to meet the noble daughter you like and then marry a wife, please ask your mother to help you."

The queen smiled kindly.

"Little children have bigger ideas than each other, and I don't bother to ask, so let you go."

She scolded and looked at the emperor.

"Sure enough, like a father, like a son, the emperor has always valued love and righteousness, so it's no wonder that neither of them would give in to either of them."

The old emperor drank a little smugly, and rarely patted the empress on the shoulder.

"The queen is wise and magnanimous. I have worked so hard for so many years. I am sorry for you."

"No matter which one I favor, which one I love the most, you have never been bitter and jealous. If you have a wife like this, what do you want from a husband?"

"If Meng family is a gorgeous stewed mountain delicacy, the queen is like the white rice in my hand. Although it is plain and tasteless, I can't live without it every day."

The queen's expression froze, but soon returned to normal, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were high and curved.

"Did the emperor drink too much? Why did he start talking drunk?"

Concubine Meng's face turned from red to white, and finally turned blue.

Is she stewed mountain delicacy?There is also a day when you get tired of delicacies from mountains and seas, and the harem is three thousand, is there still stewed seafood?Poultry stew?
They are just a novel dish to the emperor.

After the novelty is over, get tired of eating and throw it away?hehe.

The banquet was lively and lively.

In order to make the queen happy, the emperor specially invited jugglers and a hundred plays from the people.

With the beating of gongs and drums, the little actors sang, covering up the shameful thoughts in the palace.

Everyone is smiling.

Lin Ximeng pretended to be a maidservant and served by Xie Chenyu's side.

She is proficient at pouring wine, pouring tea, and handing handkerchiefs.

During the banquet, she looked at Concubine Meng from time to time.

She was dressed up and sat next to the queen, with uncontrollable jealousy in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Lin Ximeng was inexplicably happy.

The defeat of the Lin family and the tragic death of their father are inseparably related to the Meng family.

She can't do anything about the monstrous wealth of the Meng family, but it's not that she will never be able to do it.

someday.

Lin Ximeng clenched her fists tightly.

Concubine Meng has actually been watching Lin Ximeng.

This cousin who lived in the luxurious general's mansion when she was a child is now the sixth prince's concubine.

Wuming Wufen is similar to Tongfang, not even a lover, but she is already a high-ranking second-rank concubine.

Concubine Meng turned her head and whispered a few words to the maid.

After a while, an unfamiliar little palace lady came up to her and reminded her to go out.

finally come.

Lin Ximeng clenched her fists.

"Your Highness, the servants are going out for a while."
