The Rebirth of Jiangmen's Daughter

Chapter 64
Although Emperor Zhaowu had already held a palace banquet when Ye Chen returned to Beijing, it only took five days, and the palace passed on a decree, saying that the emperor was sympathetic to Ye Chen's many years of expedition, and specially held a palace banquet to reward the male guests in Shanglin Garden. , while the female relatives are in the imperial garden.

Everyone knew that this was the face bestowed upon Ye Chen by His Majesty. The male guests were naturally headed by Ye Chen, Ye Wenjun and Ye Wenbin, and the female family members were headed by Lin Shi and Ye Qingcheng.

Empress Mo got the idea of ​​Emperor Zhaowu early in the morning, so she naturally treated the Lin family with courtesy in every way, even to the concubines of several palaces.

The others had been in Beijing for a long time, and they could figure out some meaning from Empress Mo's attitude towards Lin Shi and Ye Qingcheng, so Lin Shi and Ye Qingcheng felt like ducks in water for a while in the palace.

It's just that this freedom could not be maintained for a long time, and a palace official came to report in a hurry, saying that Mrs. Ye had arrived at the imperial garden.

Empress Mo frowned. Although Mrs. Ye was the Queen Mother's distant cousin, it was only for Ye Chen's face that His Majesty gave her some face.

Empress Mo subconsciously glanced at Lin. Lin's complexion was not very good, and she pursed her lips tightly. In just a moment, she brought Ye Qingcheng forward, reported to Queen Mo, and took the lead to meet Mrs. Ye.

However, Mrs. Lin and Ye Qingcheng's enthusiasm did not get a reciprocal response from Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Ye reached out and brushed away Lin's and Ye Qingcheng's hands that wanted to support her, and put her hand on Ye Jinxiu's arm skillfully. , didn't even lift an eyelid.

"The old woman can't afford to serve the protagonist of today's palace banquet, Jinxiu, help grandma in!"

Lin and Ye Qingcheng stood in embarrassment and watched Mrs. Ye being supported by Ye Jinxiu to go to the imperial garden. In the gap that Mrs. Ye hadn't noticed, Ye Jinxiu turned her head back and showed a bright smile of victory to Ye Qingcheng's mother and daughter , Lin's originally unattractive complexion became even uglier.

Ye Qingcheng tugged at the corner of Lin's clothes, and Lin's complexion improved, and she still maintained the demeanor that a noble lady should have.

Ye Qingcheng, on the other hand, responded with a mocking smile. He hasn't come to the end yet. It's too early to laugh at this time, isn't it?

It was originally a gathering of high-ranking noble ladies in the palace. Although Mrs. Ye was also among them, she was not of the same generation, so sitting here seemed particularly awkward.

Empress Mo wanted to send Mrs. Ye to the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace several times, but she was blocked by Mrs. Ye's words. In the end, Empress Mo could only show Lin a helpless look.

But it was this look that completely annoyed Mrs. Ye.

It happened that a palace lady came up to serve tea, Mrs. Ye took the tea from the palace lady and threw it out, and then laughed out of anger.

"Nowadays, people in the palace are more and more able to judge people and handle things. Even serving tea is so careless. I don't know whether it is the negligence of the educating nuns in the palace, or the carelessness of the masters in charge."

"Which girl didn't have long eyes and offended Mrs. Ye?"

Unexpectedly, a kind voice sounded in the hall, followed by a joking voice.

"It's so old, how come Dan and you still have the firecracker temper when you were young?"

Danhe is the name in Mrs. Ye's boudoir, no one calls it that way now, but the person who came was none other than the current Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager was dressed in a homely dark green silk tapestry embroidered with the word "卍". Her hair dyed frosty white was neatly combed, and her hair was tied up in a bun with a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin.

This attire not only highlights the noble status of the queen mother, but also will not lose the dignity that the queen mother should have due to the casual makeup of the homely dress.
