Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2177 Six Volumes 232 (2 More)
The empress dowager's salutes and banquets on the Qianqiu Festival were all stopped, and the empress could not be seated in the Royal Jiaotai Palace, and accepted the treatment from the princess to the general's wife, the prince, the marquis to the minister's wife, etc., all dressed in court clothes and saluted in front of the empress; Nor can he hold a banquet in his own palace after returning from the Jiaotai Palace.

However, the emperor still called his own inner court head, as well as the prince, princess, and grandson, to the empress palace to salute, retaining her status as the main wife and aunt.

On the day of the Empress's Thousand Autumn Festival, all the dignitaries, including Wanxi, discovered that Nala's dislike for the fourth elder brother Yongxuan.

Originally, Yongxuan was the elder among the princes, so when he saluted, Yongxuan was the leader and led a group of younger brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces.Therefore, the distance between Yongxuan and Nalashi is the closest, and the impatience on Nalashi's face is beyond words.

After the ceremony was over, Yuqin couldn't help asking Wanxi, "Look at it, which song is the queen singing today?"

Wanxi looked back at Yurui and smiled slightly.

Although Guanglu Temple was responsible for preparing the banquet for the envoys of the Li Dynasty this time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not need it.But since the prince is present, the tables, seats, cups and plates prescribed by the prince must always be prepared, this is all the job of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Therefore, before and after Li Chao's banquet, Debao had already told Wanxi through Yurui.

Wanxi lowered her head and smiled faintly, "It's time for the things in February to collide. The queen's Qianqiu Festival salute and banquet were all exempted by the emperor, but the envoy of the Li Dynasty gave the fourth elder brother a special gift. Great gift..."

Yuqin raised her eyebrows and smiled too.

"It's no wonder. After all, the imperial concubine Shujia is already buried in the Yuling Underground Palace, so the imperial concubine Shujia is qualified to be the emperor's mother. Then Li Chao inevitably thought that among the princes born by the imperial concubine Shujia, the emperor favored her." Where is the crown prince?"

"It's no wonder that the queen can feel at ease when they do things like this."

Wanxi thought for a while, "Actually, the queen really thinks too much."

Yuqin hurriedly grabbed Wanxi, "What else do you have in mind?"

Wanxi raised her eyes and looked at Yuqin quietly, "Sister, do you still remember Concubine Ding?"

Yuqin also nodded, "Of course I remember. At that time, the emperor specially went to visit Concubine Ding during the empress dowager's birthday month; when he came back from the southern tour, he went to drink in front of Concubine Ding's funeral in person. Because Concubine Ding was born Originally a native of Xinzheku wrapped in Zhenghuang Banner, but the emperor gave such a big gift, the empress dowager is a little unhappy."

Wan Xi nodded, "That's right. When Concubine Ding passed away, the Emperor was on his southern tour, but he also ordered Prince Lu not to remember the transfer, but to wait for the Emperor to return to Beijing to drink in person."

Yuqin nodded, "What does this have to do with Brother Si?"

Wanxi raised her eyes with a smile, "Since the emperor personally made a drink after returning to Beijing, the funeral ceremony of Concubine Ding must be well-organized. Above the funeral ceremony, all filial sons and virtuous grandchildren have to salute with a basin - but the prince's heirs withered, for Ding When the concubine went to the funeral, there were no 'virtuous grandchildren'."

Yuqin narrowed her eyes, "I remembered, since the emperor made a drink in person, he also brought the prince to wear his filial piety—the one he brought with him at that moment was the oldest Yongxuan!"

Wanxi nodded, and patted Yuqin's hand, "My sister will understand what I mean. Although it is normal for the prince to wear filial piety for the clan, it is only a sacrifice and a basin, which are two different things after all."

Yuqin covered her mouth lightly, "You mean, the emperor has already planned to adopt the fourth elder brother to Prince Lu?! No way?"
