Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 243: Birthday Banquet and Concubine 3
But the queen mother had to hold back her anger, because after the emperor's words fell, other royal family members and nobles and ministers had already stood up with wine glasses, and respectfully toasted to the queen mother: "I wish the queen mother is as blessed as the East China Sea, and your birthday Bi Nanshan!"

The queen mother took a deep breath, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and smiled gracefully: "Let's have fun together."

King Xijiang, King Rouran and Prince Qing respectfully stepped forward and brought up all the well-prepared congratulatory gifts. The Empress Dowager greeted the guests one by one with a smile on her face, with the grace and superiority of a queen mother of a great country feel.

Everyone returned to their seats after toasting.

The court ladies in pink dresses shuttled between the banquet, adding wine and tea to the long table in front of everyone, and the beautiful dancers who were carefully rehearsed walked to the red carpet under the stage with graceful and delicate lotus steps , After saluting and congratulating the Queen Mother on her birthday, she flicked her light long sleeves and began to dance lightly.

The banquet quickly became lively.

The juniors presented their carefully prepared congratulatory gifts one after another. There were all kinds of congratulatory gifts. The queen mother smiled and ordered the big palace maids and manager Yang to accept the congratulatory gifts one by one.

Most of the people who came up to offer congratulatory gifts were women. Princess Baoling and Qin Jingshu, who were closer to the queen mother, would act coquettishly at the right time and say a few words to make the queen mother happy. The emperor and Nan Si are here.

Princess Baoling will also find time to give Nan Si a poisonous look.

Nan Si was in no pain.

Cang Hanyu lowered his eyes, peeling a lychee for Nan Si, forking a piece of sweet and juicy peach meat for Nan Si, feeding her a piece of snacks carefully prepared by the imperial dining room, bowing his head and kissing her face, saying in a low voice : "Annoying?"

"It's not annoying." Nan Si's tone was light, "I really like to see these people want to swallow me up, but they just look at me helplessly. It's quite interesting."

The voice of this sentence was not too loud, just enough for Princess Baoling and Qin Jingshu to hear, their faces froze for a moment, then Qin Jingshu silently retreated to the female seat, and Princess Baoling seemed to want to say something What, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought of Nan Si.

Why didn't Nan Xiang, who was once the emperor's favorite, come to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet tonight?
In fact, she is not alone in this problem.

Many people at the table were thinking about this question. Except for Rong Chuxiu and the others who already knew what was going on, most of them had a doubt in their hearts——

Why didn't Mr. Nan Xiang, who was held in the palm of his hand by the emperor, not attend tonight's palace banquet?

Is it because the emperor doesn't want him to attend, or he himself knows that the emperor has a new favorite woman, and he is unhappy, so he deliberately doesn't come?
Also, when did this Qin family girl meet the emperor?
It was rumored that Nan Xiang also took a fancy to this girl and wanted to take her into the mansion as a concubine, but then Miss Qin became the emperor's woman?
Is it because the emperor has been acting with Nan Xiang, or is it because the emperor canonized Qin Si not because he likes her, but because he doesn't want Nan Xiang to take a concubine?

Everyone had a lot of thoughts in their minds, and they had already guessed an unknown number of versions.

After the presents were over, King Qi also stepped forward and said a few words of congratulations. Seeing his gloomy expression, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?"

King Qi glanced at the emperor out of the corner of his eye, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and smiled humbly: "It's nothing, it's just that the emperor gave his son a marriage just this morning."

what?
The Empress Dowager was astonished, and tightened her fingertips, "Which family did the emperor give you?"
