Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2346 Seven Volumes 46

The emperor chose this year as the venue for the empress dowager's birthday banquet, which was around the West Garden.

This is the location of the original Ganxi No. [-] Institute.Because the original Ganxi Ersuo was the Qianlong residence before the emperor ascended the throne, after the emperor ascended the throne, the "suo" was upgraded to a "palace", which was called "Chonghua Palace".

The second Qianxi Institute became the Chonghua Palace, and the other four were also changed in use.

Ganxitou was changed to "Shufangzhai", and a stage was built in the courtyard, which became a place for performing plays during banquets in Chonghua Palace.The Shufangzhai Stage is also the largest single-story stage in the palace. It is often used to watch operas on occasions for the Empress Dowager to celebrate her birthday and salute.

The Ganxi Sansho was changed into the kitchen of the Chonghua Palace, which was specially used for the emperor's gatherings with the ministers during the Chinese New Year, writing blessings to the ministers, and the general royal family banquets at this time.

The Qianxi No. [-] and Ganxi No. [-] offices were rebuilt into Jianfu Palace and gardens.Because the Jianfu Palace Garden is located in the northwest of the Forbidden City, the Jianfu Palace Garden is also called the "West Garden".This is also the place where the empress dowager can visit and rest besides the garden of the Cining Palace.Jingyixuan is the bedroom of Jianfu Palace.

The Empress Dowager’s Shengshou Family Banquet was chosen here. First, it is close to the Empress Dowager’s bedroom, which is convenient for the Empress Dowager; If you walk around the inner court, you can come directly to this side.

Because Wanxi came here with Xiao Shiwu in her arms, the child had just reached the full moon, and it was freezing cold at the end of November, so Wanxi did not take the child to the garden of Jianfu Palace, but went directly to Chonghua The palace is coming.

Before the sedan chair came down, Wanxi heard Yuchan whispering outside the sedan chair, "Go back to the master, the queen master is also coming this way."
.
Wanxi took a deep breath and ordered, "Get off the sedan chair."

Chonghua Palace is the original Qianxi No. [-], while Jingyixuan and Garden are in No. [-] and No. [-], and the stage of Shufangzhai is in the first place. Wanxi thought that Nala would go to accompany the Empress Dowager to visit the garden first. , watching a play, so she brought the child directly to Chonghua Palace, at least she could avoid it for the time being; unexpectedly, Nalashi was so anxious to see her.

Wanxi got off the sedan chair, and only asked the two mothers who took care of Shiwu: Cui Shi and Zhu Shi, to take good care of Xiao Shiwu and leave them alone.

Yuchan also gently poked Yuying.Yuying understood and walked over to help the two mothers.

After all, the mothers are the ones who are chosen to enter the Yongshou Palace, not as deep as they have been with the master since they were young, so only the fifteenth elder brother is handed over to the two mothers, Yuchan and Yuying are both a little bit dissatisfied Don't worry.

Having experienced the death of the fourteenth elder brother before, and the premature death of the prince ahead of the master... Now the fifteenth elder brother who was lost and recovered so easily, can no longer allow the slightest mistake.

After Wanxi finished explaining, Yuying and the two mothers saluted Nalashi from a distance, then turned around and left without waiting for Nalashi to speak.

When Nala saw a few people turning around and walking away in front of his eyes, his face immediately sank, as if he was going to catch up.Wanxi did her part, stepped forward, and stopped Nalashi halfway.

Wanxi didn't rush, she saluted Nala's family almost head to head, and stopped Nala's footsteps.

Nala's eyes narrowed, and she lowered her eyes to stare at Wanxi, "Concubine Ling, what do you mean? My good prince, why didn't you let me, a mother, see you?"

Wanxi squatted down calmly, and said with a smile on her face, "I don't dare to be. It's just that it's winter in front of me, and the little fifteen is just full moon. If I stay outside for a while, if I get cold, my master will feel distressed. Blame yourself, don't you?"

"In order not to call Mistress Mistress like this, I'd better stop Mistress Mistress here. I think Mistress Mistress is thinking of Mistress Mistress, what does Mistress Mistress say?" Wanxi turned her wonderful eyes, and Lingling stared at Nalashi.

The two of them are so close together, Nala will never miss Wanxi's expression.What's more, the defense and ridicule in Zi Wanxi's eyes at this moment are not deliberately concealed, but are clearly shown to Nala.

Nala's heart immediately burst into flames, "Concubine Ling, what you said sounds good! From my point of view, you are clearly guarding against me, but you just don't want to show it to me!"

"Okay, Brother Fifteen is just full moon, so you don't want me to be a mother; then when he grows up in the future, are you going to hide him altogether, and don't even go to greet me?"

Wanxi listened with a smile, as if she felt it was funny, raised her sleeve to cover her lips, and smiled softly, "Look at what you said, Mistress, how could it be? After all, the palace is only big, and Mistress is I haven't seen Xiao Shiwu today, but I will see you sooner or later."

"Besides, the mistress is the empress, and when my little Shiwu gets married in the future, I have to bring Fujin to the empress to salute my mistress."

Nala couldn't help being arrogant, raised her jaw high, and looked at Wanxi contemptuously, "You know it! Although he was born by you, I am the queen of the palace, but he is my son! When I get married in the future, I will preside over every important matter from childhood to adulthood."

As Nala said, she couldn't help squinting her eyes, with dark clouds wrapped in her pupils, staring at Wanxi triumphantly and mockingly.

"... Not to mention far away, it means that he was vaccinated when he was two years old, and I had to preside over the ceremonies of worshiping and sending off the gods. You rely on the emperor to favor you, but it's a pity that The Emperor Huizi can't help you, who made the Pox God Empress a goddess, no matter how expensive the emperor is as the emperor, he will be a man after all, so he can't see the Pox God Empress."

Wanxi felt a severe pain in her heart, she put away all her smiles, raised her eyes to meet Nala's gaze.

At this moment of hand-to-hand combat, Wanxi understood that Nalashi deliberately mentioned the vaccination in front of her eyes!

As long as she is still the empress, she has to preside over the ceremony of enshrining the Pox God Empress, and no one can replace her!

Wanxi tried her best to be calm, and tried her best not to think about the scene before the little deer was vaccinated...

Wanxi lowered her head, only looking at the thick and steady earth.

People in this world, if they regard heaven as their father, they regard the earth as their mother.As a mother, one must be as calm, broad, and stable as the earth.

Wanxi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised her eyes, there was already a smile in the corner of her eyes.

"Master's wife is right. Master's wife is the queen of the main palace, the aunt of all the emperor's heirs, the mistress of this harem, and the mother of the Qing Dynasty... That concubine should wish the queen's master to be in the middle of the palace, and it will never change forever. .”

Nala could understand the meaning of Wanxi's words, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Boldly order the noble concubine, what do you mean?"

With a smile on the corner of Wanxi's lips, she did not hide or dodge, and met Nala's gaze firmly.

"The mistress is the mother, and the fifteenth son is the son. Today is the empress dowager's birthday, and the emperor's 50 birthday has just been celebrated—look, the empress dowager, what a blessed person the empress dowager is to be able to accompany her son in person After my fiftieth birthday, it will be my own holy birthday. Therefore, I naturally wish you, my mistress, the same blessing as the empress dowager."

"You!" Nala's eyes widened angrily, "How dare you speak more clearly in front of me?"

The quarrel between Wanxi and Nala was in front of the Chonghua Palace, so both of them kept their voices extremely low.It's just that the palace walls on both sides of the long street are always loud, and Nala's warm sedan chair is also close, so the people in the sedan chair still heard it.

As soon as the sedan chair curtain was lifted, the twelfth elder brother Yongzhen jumped down from the sedan chair, stepped forward and stood beside Nalashi, staring at Wanxi coldly, "Emiang, I can hear it all. Auntie Ling means—— —You won’t survive Xiao Shiwu!”
.
Wanxi quietly raised her eyes to look at Yongzheng.

Yong Xin's reaction was somewhat unexpected, but in fact it was all reasonable.

Yong Xing and Yong Xing were born in the same year, and this year is also nine years old, a big child.

Just like mothers have to fight for their own children, these grown-up princes must also protect their biological mothers, right?

Thinking of this, Wanxi felt relieved.Wanxi smiled faintly, "It's been a while since I saw you, Brother Twelve has grown up too."

Yongxin glanced at Wanxi lightly, "Of course I have grown up! Is it possible that Auntie Ling still hopes that I am still a baby in the swaddle, so I don't understand the rebellious words that Auntie Ling said to my mother-in-law, Can't understand how Auntie Ling is disrespectful to my mother?"

Wanxi took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the unhappiness in her heart, "Brother Twelve, you are the eldest son of the emperor, and I am also your aunt and elder. With these words, I can continue to treat you as a child Say nothing."

Wanxi walked over with a smile, stretched out her hand, and gently touched Yongzheng's cheek, "But since you are so old, hasn't your mother taught you a word: adults talk, children stay away !"

Yong Xing was taken aback for a moment, as if his cheeks were scalded, he quickly stepped back, "You, you teach me a lesson?"

Wan Xi's eyes were firm, "That's right, I'm teaching you a lesson. I know you are the son of the queen's master, but I'm also a noble concubine of the Qing Dynasty, and I'm your elder! No matter who you are, you are among the people. There is no reason for a child to talk like this in front of elders, let alone in the palace!"

But Yongzheng rounded his eyes contemptuously, "You are a noble concubine, but you are Xin Zheku's slave after all! How dare you disrespect my mother, and how dare you teach me? My mother is the queen of the palace. I'm Huang Ama's direct son, how can you contradict the dignity of me and Erniang?"

Wanxi smiled instead of anger, raised her eyes and looked at Gao Tian above the red wall, "Brother Twelve, you have been in school for three years. Is this how your teachers taught you? - I don't believe it , after all, those who can walk in the study room are all Hanlin scholars who came from a Jinshi background, how could they teach you like this?"

Wanxi looked away, smiled lightly and focused on Yongzheng, "Since it's not that your masters didn't teach you well, it's because you didn't study hard."

This remark made Nala's ear-piercing the more he listened, so Nala reprimanded softly, "Concubine Ling, Yongzheng is my direct prince of the Qing Dynasty, if he has anything, I will naturally be there, and it's not your turn to be around." Talk nonsense here!"

Wanxi smiled and nodded, turning her head to look at Yongzheng, "Brother Twelve, when you grow up, you can understand what people say. It's just that when you grow up, you are only nine years old this year, and you don't know what happened nine years ago. Therefore, you don't really understand what I said between you and my mother. "

"As a son of man, you protect my mother. I think this kind of filial piety is a good thing... But you are still young after all, and children don't understand all the things between adults. Therefore, the relationship between me and your mother You still don't want to get involved in what you said in the middle."

Wanxi took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down, "You are still children, whether it is my little Shiwu or you, you are the emperor's flesh and blood. So even if Ling Aniang has a different opinion from your erniang, she also agrees. I don't want to quarrel with you. You obediently wait in Chonghua Palace first, or go back to the sedan chair to warm up, and don't let the wind in the long street blow you down, okay?"

But Yongzhen shook his head coldly, "No need. Why should Auntie Ling avoid me if she has something to say? Does Auntie Ling know that there is something shady in your words?"

When Yongzhen spoke like this, even Yurui couldn't hold back and wanted to speak out.Wanxi hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold Yurui's hand.

Wanxi slowly raised her eyes and looked at Nala, "Actually, I still have a lot to say today, and I want to talk to the mistress here. But... since the twelfth elder brother came with the mistress, then Concubine or give up."

Wanxi said with a salute, "Please also ask the master to enter the palace first."

Nala smiled arrogantly, turned around and shook Yongxin's hand, and walked into the Chonghua Gate unceremoniously.

"Sister..." Yu Rui also yelled in a low voice of grievance.

Wanxi shook her head lightly, "Forget it. I didn't expect Yongzheng to come with her. Those words and appearance are not suitable for children to see. After all, Elder Brother Twelve is not very old. When I don't know anything about everything, I don't want to argue in front of that child."

Wanxi got up and straightened her clothes.

"Although I have a deep bond with her, at least I have to leave a ray of freedom for Xiao Shifu in the future - after all, they are still brothers and sisters, and they will get along with each other in the future. With today's step, I would like to help Xiao Shi Five and retreat."
.
Nala entered the Chonghua Palace and went directly to the main hall.Wanxi took Xiao Shiwu and her mother to wait in the "Yude Hall" of the West Side Hall.

This West Side Hall was where the emperor studied when he was a prince.

After a while, the Empress Dowager came from the West Garden.

When the empress dowager arrived, all the dignitaries of the inner court, including the clan's Fujins, all followed suit.

Today is a good day for the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is in high spirits.The old lady entered the backyard from the hallway like stars holding the moon, and she smiled brightly, "I heard that Yuanzi is here? Where is it? Oh, give me a hug."

Inside the window lattice, Yurui happily pressed Wanxi's hand when she heard what the Empress Dowager said.

Wanxi also nodded with a smile.

Wanxi came out first to greet the Empress Dowager, and knelt down to greet the Empress Dowager, and once again wished the Empress Dowager a birthday.

The empress dowager hurriedly said, "Oh, get up quickly! Although it's already full moon, it's only been a few days before the full moon, isn't it? It's so cold here, be careful to freeze it."

Wanxi got up slowly, her eyes glanced at the main hall quietly, but she stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager's elbow, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if I am a concubine, after all, I am in my 30s. Little fifteen Xiao, the concubine is afraid that he will be frozen, so even though Xiao Shiwu heard the laughter of the emperor's grandmother and wanted to run outside, the concubine still hardened her heart and stopped her."

"This concubine is so bold, I have to ask the Empress Dowager, you old man, to move into this supporting hall, so that I can ask Xiao Shiwu to salute and congratulate the emperor's grandmother on her birthday."

The Empress Dowager laughed out loud, "That's right! The little man who is only full moon has just warmed up in the room, how dare he come out and let the cold wind blow him? I should go in to see him, but I can't ask him to come out to see him." I."

The Empress Dowager went to the West Palace as she spoke, "Let's go, let's go see Xiao Yuanzi right now. I haven't seen him for a few days, I miss him so much!"

Wanxi supported the Empress Dowager's elbow and walked into the Xipei Hall, her eyes lightly slid over the window lattice of the main hall—through the glass inlaid on the window lattice of the main hall, even though the glass was full of ice flowers, it could still From the place that melted away at the moment, I saw Nalashi's angry face.

Of course the queen of the main palace has to go directly to the main hall, and Wanxi is just a noble concubine, so she should take a step back and enter the west side hall.

It's just, who said that the main hall is always the most correct choice?At this moment, the empress dowager didn't care about entering the main hall, and strode directly towards the west side hall.
.
The Empress Dowager entered the "Yude Hall", but she didn't dare to go directly to the Nuan Pavilion, for fear of bringing in the cold air.He also specially stood in front of the smoker cage in the second room and warmed for a while, dissipating the cold air from his body, then he smiled and took off his big clothes, and went inside to see Xiao Shiwu.

Little Shiwu seemed to recognize the empress dowager, and when she was hugged by the empress dowager, she danced and laughed again, without the shyness and crying of a newborn baby at all.

The empress dowager was so happy that she couldn't help kissing again and again, "Oh, you little Yuanzi. These days after returning to the palace, this face has become more puffy and whiter, more and more like a Yuanzi~~"

Wanxi stood aside and said with a smile, "Because I had to accompany Xiao Yuanzi, I couldn't go to the theater with the Empress Dowager. I don't know how many good plays the Empress Dowager has read? I am watching, the Empress Dowager is now The red light on his face must be due to the subtlety of Nanfu's commitment."

The Empress Dowager laughed, nodded and said, "I've read two books, one is "Zhimei Jieshou" and the other is "Golden Lotus from the Earth". Nanfu worked hard and promised well, but I am tired after reading too much. It's better to come and hug my little Mariko~~"

Yuqin came over and whispered in Wanxi's ear, "The empress dowager came here before the show ended. Right now, the emperor and the clan princes are still at the Shufangzhai stage."

Wanxi nodded with a smile, and she understood the emperor's intentions for these two plays.

"Zhimei Jieshou" is a repertoire of "Empress Dowager's Longevity Christmas Promise". Into the words "Fu", "Lu" and "Shou".This idea, of course, is combined with the saying of "Lu Changzai" in the seal.

"Golden Lotus Emerging from the Earth" is the interpretation of the story of the birth of the Buddha "Seven Steps to Birth a Lotus", which is connected with Xiaoqi again.

In such an auspicious birthday celebration, the emperor can always tell the empress dowager to think of her child, both openly and secretly... No wonder the empress dowager is so happy holding Xiao Yuanzi at this moment.

Wanxi had a solid heart, she talked with the empress dowager, and played with Xiao Shiwu together, then raised her eyes to look at the main hall without any trace.

Nala hasn't come over yet to greet the Empress Dowager... This is the end, we have to wait for the Empress Dowager to move over in person, right?
Yurui understood Wanxi's intentions, so she said softly, "Just tell her to wait."

Wanxi didn't mind much, she nodded and said, "She can always wait. The empress dowager will naturally enter the main hall later, how can she just stay in this side hall forever."

When Wanxi said this, she also smiled, "However, having said that, it depends on whether I give her this chance. If she thinks that she can wait until the empress dowager passes, she will win, then I will say Maybe she changed her mind and told her to just go to nothing."
.
Emperor Shaoqing also came.

The Empress Dowager asked with a smile, "Shufangzhai's play has already ended? I remember that there is still half of the play unfinished, but it ended quickly."

The emperor laughed, "Today this play is to celebrate the birthday of the emperor's mother, and you are the birthday star. But as soon as you heard that Yuanzi was coming, you didn't even care about listening to the play, so you came here with someone , who will play that play for?”

"Actually, the play hasn't finished yet, but my son, like Er Niang, couldn't sit still, so he came here with me. The unfinished play, I asked the ministers to watch it." gone."

The empress dowager was talking to the emperor, and Fujin, who was acting as prince Yunxuan, teased Xiao Shiwu.

This Prince Fu Jin also came from the Fucha clan, and was the daughter of Ma Qi. In terms of seniority, he was the cousin of Empress Xiaoxian.

At this time, among the emperor's uncles, Prince Lu Yunxuan was the elder, so the one closest to the Empress Dowager was this Prince Lu of the Fujin Fucha family.

Xiao Shiwu, who has only been in the world for more than a month, is the first time to see this elder; even, his small eyes may not be able to see people clearly at this moment, but he does not recognize his life, still bared With his bare gums, Fujin, who was facing Prince Lu, danced happily.

Prince Fu Jin was so happy that he didn't know what to say. She had given birth to two sons, but they both died; and the other wives and concubines in the mansion also gave birth to the other four sons for Yunxuan, but all of them died... Now Old Fujin, who was over seventy years old, saw such a white and fat boy, he seemed to like something.

After the empress dowager finished speaking with the emperor, she turned her head and saw tears flickering in Prince Lu's eyes.The empress dowager couldn't help but sigh, knowing that she was thinking of the sad things in her family.The Empress Dowager patted her hand and comforted her, "Don't be sad, brothers and sisters, the emperor decides the affairs of your family. The emperor must choose a good one from the clan, and let the twelfth brother and you inherit."

Prince Fu Jin hurriedly blinked back the tears, and smiled all over his face, "No, no, today is the empress dowager's birthday, how can I be sad? I, I see our fifteenth elder brother is good-looking, I was so happy that I was about to cry."

The younger siblings praised their grandson, and the empress dowager was delighted, "He was born well, so good luck is good, isn't it?"

Yunxuan Fujin also smiled, "Isn't that so white and fat little elder brother, his appearance is a little different from those of the previous elder brothers. To be honest, the emperor had a long face when he was young. My son, this child is so white and fat, it's not like when the emperor was young."

The empress dowager laughed, but before he could explain, Yunxuan Fujin looked up at the empress dowager and smiled.

The empress dowager raised her eyebrows, "What are you doing, why are you staring at me for joy?"

Yunxuan Fujin blinked with a smile, "I see, this kid doesn't look like the emperor, but he looks like enough—the empress dowager, go!"
.
It's interesting to say that the men of Aixinjueluo's family inherited long faces; while the empress dowager had a round face full of blessings, so even Lord Kangxi said she was blessed when he saw her people.

As for the emperor, when he was young, he looked like a man from the Aixinjueluo family, with a thin and long face; but when he was 50 years old, when he got fat, he looked more and more like his mother, and became round face.

In the past, the emperor only said that Xiao Shiwu was like him when he was a child, and the empress dowager didn't think much about it; now that Yunxuan Fujin said that, the empress dowager suddenly realized this, so she was even more happy Muzzled away.

"Look at what you said, ouch, I said how I got closer and closer to this child when I looked at it, so it's because of this!" The empress dowager even hugged Xiao Shiwu, so happy that she couldn't move her eyes, " Grandparents and grandchildren should be on a blind date, after all, they are connected by blood, but this child has never been so rare to me. Only now do I understand that in addition to blood, there is also eye relationship!"

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard it, and he stepped forward to act like a baby with the empress dowager, "Yuanzi and son are both like Ernie..."

Yunxuan Fujin also laughed, "No, it is said that giving birth to a boy is like a mother, and giving birth to a daughter is like a father. When the emperor was young, he was more like the previous emperors; but now, he looks like the empress dowager."

The empress dowager laughed, but raised her eyes and gave Wanxi a warm look, "Sisters and sisters, what you said is not entirely true. Look at the noble concubine Ling, who is born with such a delicate and weak appearance, how can she have a round face? Xiao Shi Wu doesn't really look like her, but how come he looks like me?"

Wanxi won't grab this light.Wanxi hurriedly saluted with a smile, "He looks like the empress dowager, that's his blessing. Concubine, I have to copy two volumes of scriptures when I go back. Thank you Buddha for your kindness."
.
For a moment, there was warmth in the Xipei Hall, and the Empress Dowager refused to let go of Xiao Shiwu in her arms.

It was the dining room who reported that the banquet was ready, but the Empress Dowager was not in a hurry, she just teased Xiao Shiwu with all the princes and princes.

The Empress Dowager said to herself: "At this age, what's the point of celebrating your birthday? It's just making yourself older year by year. For me, the birthday banquet is not as good as Han Have fun playing with grandchildren!"

These words made Yunxuan Fujin, who has no children and grandchildren, feel the deepest, she also nodded, "What the empress dowager said is right. At this age, I am willing to use everything I have now to exchange my children and grandchildren around my knees." , Have fun with your grandchildren."

The emperor looked back, softly concentrating Wanxi, with a smile on his lips.

Then the emperor calmly asked, "Eh? Where's the empress? The emperor's mother is here, why isn't the empress here to serve?"

Only then did Wanxi come forward, "Go back to the empress dowager, your majesty, the empress dowager has already arrived. The empress empress and her twelve brothers are waiting for the empress dowager in the main hall. I'm afraid I have to ask the empress dowager to move to the main hall now." , the concubine, on behalf of the fifteenth, respectfully sent off the emperor's grandmother."

The empress dowager couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard the words, "Since she came early, I have been in for a long time, and she is still waiting in the main hall?"

Wanxi bowed her head and said slowly, "After all, this is the side hall, so I guess it doesn't fit the status of the middle palace... As a concubine, it doesn't matter if I greet the empress dowager in the west side hall, but the queen is the main palace, so I can't wait for the empress dowager." I still like being in the main hall."

The Empress Dowager frowned, "She can't come to the Xipei Hall? But even I came, so what happened to her?"

The emperor also snorted softly, "This West Side Hall used to be the place where my son studied. The name 'Yude Hall' comes from the meaning of 'bathing body and virtue'. Although it is a side hall, it is Don’t feel wronged by her, let’s go!”

Wanxi bowed her head and said, "I thank the emperor's grandmother for the love of the fifteenth, but neither the fifteenth nor the concubine dare to delay the empress dowager for too long. It is better to ask the empress dowager to move to the main hall, and the concubine dare not call the empress dowager." It's been a long wait."

The Empress Dowager just snorted, and told Anyi, "Go, pass on my words, just talk about today's birthday banquet, it's right here!"
.
Anyi went to pass on a message, and after a while, Nala came over with Yongxi.

Nala also knew that she was a little embarrassed, so as soon as she entered the door of Xibei Hall, she secretly pushed Yongzheng away.Yongzhen understood, hurried forward, knelt down at the Empress Dowager's knee, and shouted affectionately, "Huang Mamu, grandson congratulates Huang Mamu on her birthday!"

Yongzhen is finally the only direct grandson of the Empress Dowager at this time. The Empress Dowager holds Xiao Shiwu in her arms, and also frees up a hand to hold Yongzhen, "Okay, Yongzhen is so good, Mama is happy."

Nala breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly stepped forward to pay his respects.

The empress dowager raised her eyes and stared at her. Although she still had a smile on her face, there was still some coolness in that look.

All the aristocrats and clan Fujin who were present at the scene also hurriedly paid respects to Nala.

Nala hurriedly called everyone to get up, and naturally stepped forward and stood back beside the empress dowager.

"After all, it's a bit narrow here, and I'm afraid the dining tables won't be able to be arranged. The Queen Mother should move to the main hall. The dining room, the tables have already been set up."

The empress dowager snorted, "I think this side is very good. It was originally a family banquet, so there are not so many rules. If the table cannot be arranged, simply don't use a big table, and ask all the dining rooms to be replaced by kang tables, one table. A table was brought over, and we ate on the kang with our legs crossed, it was still warm and intimate."

Nala took a deep breath, "Although today is a family banquet, it is also the empress dowager's birthday, so we can't mess with the rules. This kang table is small after all, and the empress dowager's special plates and bowls can't be set..."

Wanxi squatted down and bowed again, "The concubine will ask the empress dowager to move to the main hall. After all, this is the emperor's study, and it would not be appropriate if these writings smell of oil. What do you think, empress dowager?" "

Nala turned her eyes and stared at Wanxi.

Because of the heat in the room, Wanxi had already taken off her cloak outside, which seriously revealed the bright yellow auspicious clothes inside and the big phoenix hairpin in the center of the phoenix tin on her head.

Nala took a deep breath, "Hey, why is the imperial concubine still wearing bright yellow today, she is the same color as the empress dowager."
