Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

On the eve of the Lantern Festival, the palace will hold a winter ceremony by the lord of the first palace as usual, and all the concubines in the palace, especially the noble ladies of Yujing City, will enter the palace to participate in the ceremony.

It's just that Meng Qing's harem is vacant, and according to the usual practice, it is still managed by Gu Qingyun.

The palace roads of the imperial city were full of noble ladies from Yujing in formal attire.

"Hey, today's son is a woman. Since she took the throne, she has supported our women to become officials in the court. Now my status in the family is getting higher and higher."

"Isn't that right. My elder brother has always been a dude. Father has nothing to count on, so he can only count on me. How are you preparing for the next exam?"

"Well...it's no problem to be a Beijing official."

At this time, an eunuch opened the door with a shrill voice.

"The empress dowager has a decree to call all the ladies and ladies into the ceremony—"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes—"

After finishing speaking, they entered the main hall one by one.

After Meng Qing came down to the morning court, she came to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests to observe the ceremony.

The dragon chariot stopped outside the hall. Hearing the sound of sacrificial rites coming from inside, he knew it was not over yet.

"Your Majesty, you are still not willing to accept concubines. Many things have to be done by the Empress Dowager herself."

Meng Qing leaned on the dragon chariot and said in a chirping voice, "Why, even you want to persuade me to accept my concubine?"

Ling Yu looked into the hall, the inside was solemn and solemn, but he didn't dare to disturb him.

"No, this servant just thinks that the Empress Dowager is too tired to manage things in the palace, and she is worried that she will not be able to bear it."

"In the past few years, I won't make her too tired. It's simply a matter of finding a man. If I really dare to find a man, the Taifu will probably strip me of my skin."

Ling Yu said with a smile: "Your majesty, what you said, the emperor's teacher is not so scary. The slaves can see that the emperor's teacher treats you really well, wouldn't it be good if you accept the emperor's teacher?"

Hearing this, she was touched in her heart.

Over the past year, Xiao Yan has treated her very well, pampering her and doting on her in everything...

People are not grass, who can be ruthless?
It would be a lie to say that she was not tempted, but after all, she dared not gamble with the country of Chu.

She wasn't sure if Xiao Yan had other plans for her favor, and she wasn't sure if Xiao Yan would make trouble again.

Instead of suffering, it is better to strike first, eradicate Xiao Yan's followers step by step, and strangle him in the cradle.

She found an excuse at random, "Teacher...he is worthy of the honor of the emperor, but now is not the time, the court is not stable, if I am in such a hurry to give him the honor, wouldn't it be a great loss of a country's talents? "

"The emperor said so."

Lingyu knew that what she was thinking was nothing more than worrying about Xiao Yan's intentions, but Lingyu was outside the situation and could see clearly that there was only one word "belief" between these two people.

After the ceremony, everyone moved to Changxin Palace to participate in the winter banquet. Changxin Palace is located in the inner palace, and men from the previous dynasty are not allowed to enter.

Changxin Palace.

Meng Qing moved to Changxin Palace just after worshiping at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. The beams and columns of the palace are exquisite, embedded with phoenix horn dragon heads, mysterious and magnificent.The top of the hanging beam is carved with colorful and strange hanging sculptures, which are soft and elegant, just like a beautiful picture scroll, wonderful.

In the palace, the wives and ladies of the officials and eunuchs almost filled the palace, drinking tea and gossiping.

When Meng Qing stepped into the palace, everyone saw them and hurriedly saluted: "See the emperor, the emperor bows to Jin'an—"

Her ankle-length robe caught everyone's eyes, and the maids behind her looked solemn and solemn, holding a golden-handled ceremonial fan.

"The sons and ministers see the mother--"

With a smile on his face, Gu Qingyun said, "Excuse me."

"Thank you mother."

After Meng Qing climbed the jade steps, she sat in the banquet room under Gu Qingyun and said, "You ladies don't need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty—"

The ladies and gentlemen thanked the ceremony and went to the table.

Zhang Gelao's wife raised a glass to the banquet and said: "My wife is here to respect the empress dowager and the emperor. May the empress dowager be in good health and the emperor will last forever. I also wish that the long river of Chu State will last forever, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe!"

Gu Qingyun and Meng Qing raised their glasses in return.

"Mrs. Zhang has a heart."

All the noble ladies in Yujing City have arrived, except Meng Fei who is late.

She sneaked out from the inner hall and sat in her banquet, calm and composed.

Meng Qing lowered her head and turned a blind eye.

Both Zheng Rongrong and Zhou Mi were placed at the end, just because they were family members of Conglong heroes who came to Beijing with the Shu army, so they were lucky enough to be able to attend the winter banquet.

If not, they might still be fighting for a concubine in Yizhou at this time.

Zheng Rongrong said in a muffled voice: "Back then, Yingxue was really stupid. It was not good to offend anyone, but Her Royal Highness is now the princess, and now Her Royal Highness has become the emperor of this world. For us, it is really unattainable."

In comparison, Zhou Mi was more open-minded.

"If His Royal Highness hadn't brought us to Yujing, I'm afraid our father would still be just a young general in Yizhou! Now my father won the second-class meritorious service and entered the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now he is the head of Yizhou. It’s like a tiger with wings added.”

Zheng Rongrong let out a "tss", and said disdainfully: "What is this? My father is now a military officer of the Ministry of War, and he is very popular in the court. Now I can be regarded as a noble girl in Yujing City."

After finishing these words, there was a faint snort.

Zheng Rongrong felt something was wrong, so he said to Zhou Mi beside him, "You were the one laughing just now?"

Zhou Mi quickly waved his hands to separate the relationship, "How could it be me!"

When Zheng Rongrong was wondering, He Zhenning, who was sitting in the front, poked his head out and made a face at them.

"Slightly slightly slightly! Zheng Rongrong, you don't even look at what you look like, but you dare to call yourself a noble girl from Yujing City. You have such a big face!"

Zheng Rongrong was furious, seeing He Zhenning's arrogant look, he didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, her father and elder brother were very respectable in the court, appreciated by the emperor, and praised by King Yong, her future is boundless.

"Heh, He Zhenning, I'm not a noble girl, don't you?"

"I didn't say that I am! What's more, how can there be a noble lady who talks about the word" noble lady" every day? Look at the few sitting in front of us, either the emperor or the princess, just you? ? You should wash up and sleep!"

Zheng Rongrong was almost so angry that she vomited blood, is there such a thing as hurtful?

"He Zhenning! Don't be complacent! I don't believe that I can only be the daughter of a military doctor in my life! Wait, sooner or later, I will be the concubine of brother Zhiyan!" Zheng Rongrong raised his chin proudly.

The girl's delicate and innocent face was instantly gloomy, as if covered by a layer of dark clouds, hiding a bit of irony.

"You want to be Zhiyan's elder brother's concubine?"

"What? Can't you?"

Zheng Rongrong didn't lose any momentum, and gave her a vicious look.

He Zhenning grinned, and jokingly said, "You have to have your life too, hahahahahaha..."

Zhou Mi's expression changed upon hearing this.

Who doesn't know that on Chinese New Year's Day, after Shizi and Miss Shi Huan separated, Miss Shi Huan disappeared.
