Your Majesty, Your Majesty has run away again

Chapter 91

The concubines in the harem who were waiting to see Shen Xin's jokes were all disappointed when they learned that Concubine Jin's punishment for Shen Xin was just thunder and rain.Although there are many of them who are rich in their families, they have to express their feelings every time the empress is assassinated, and the number of times is too much. It is not a small expense to manage the money in each palace every month.

"Miss, you have really offended too many people." Qing Xu has been busy checking the layout of the Taihe Palace these days, and found that the maids transferred from other palaces all have bitter faces. She wants to find someone to gossip about Lord Lin No one responded.The chain is intertwined, the masters of the palaces are unhappy, and the ones who suffer are naturally the maids of the palaces. Those maids are not as enthusiastic as before when they see Qing Xu.

"I just like to see how they are upset and can't get rid of me." Only now did Shen Xin truly realize the true meaning of this sentence. If there are too many monks and too little porridge, there is only one emperor, so many concubines, it is impossible to live in harmony.Although I feel sorry for the palace status of those half a year, it is nothing compared to the filial piety she received from the palaces. She pulled out those nails effortlessly and it was too late for her to be happy. How could she care about offending others?

"Miss, change your clothes quickly, the palace banquet will begin immediately. According to the rules, you have to lead all the empresses in the harem to the Tai'an Palace to greet the empress dowager!" Seeing Shen Xin sitting cross-legged on the bed without any image, Qing Xu was in a hurry. This palace banquet was extraordinary. This was the first time Daqin had met envoys from other two countries. As the empress of Daqin, the honor of the Daqin imperial family represented by Miss could not be mistaken.

"It's still early." Shen Xin said while letting Qingxu change her palace skirt, peeling things in her hands without slowing down at all.What Shen Xin peeled in her hand was the honey-fried fruit that Xianlou's brother bought for her when she went to Haiguo. It looked similar to the pistachio nuts eaten in modern times, but it was sweeter than pistachio nuts with the addition of honey.

There are only six concubines who are eligible to participate in the palace banquet, one imperial concubine and five concubines. They are virtuous Shudezhuang, and the position of concubine De is vacant. present.Shen Xin took a little look at the four concubines, except for Concubine Wen Jing and Concubine Wen Liang who had some impressions, the other three had never dealt with them before.

Long before, Qingxu had given Shen Xin evil information about the ladies. After a little observation, Shen Xin knew that the one who always relied on Concubine Lin was the concubine who was promoted from side concubine after Lin Yusheng became imperial concubine.And the icy and snowy beauty standing at the very end is Concubine Shu.The other tall, thin and mean-faced Concubine Zhuang was the dignified concubine who Qin Ao admired.

Shen Xin quickly led five people to Tai'an Palace, "The concubine is for the empress, the empress dowager pays her respects, I wish the empress mother, the empress dowager has a long life and good health." Shen Xin rejected such a congratulatory message in her heart, I really don't know what the ancients were thinking, isn't He Shou Songling going to become an old monster!

"Okay, okay. You're all good kids, get up!" Empress Dowager Lin changed into a blue palace dress. Even on her birthday, she still didn't have a smile on her face, which made her even more indifferent.

"Queen Mother, let me help you!" For some reason, Shen Xin felt kindness from this Empress Dowager Lin whom she met for the first time.But she was sure that this was the first time she had seen the fifty-year-old woman in front of her, and she found that she didn't have much resistance to helping this woman to the palace banquet according to the rules.

At Xu time, the big bell at the gate of the palace rang to herald the beginning of the palace banquet.The civil and military ministers and their family members were already waiting outside the Taihe Palace, Shen Xin helped the Empress Dowager to time it, and when they arrived at the gate of the Taihe Palace, they happened to meet Qin Ao who was following Eunuch Chen.

After saluting again, Shen Xin saw Qin Ao reaching out to help Queen Mother Lin, and almost at that moment she lowered her head and quickly took a step back.Shen Xin lowered her head and didn't give Qin Ao a look, so when she missed Qin Ao's hand, she paused for an instant before suddenly turning to help Empress Dowager Lin.

Empress Dowager Lin had a panoramic view of everything, and she did not expose Qin Ao understandingly. Instead, she stretched out a pair of hands that were a little callused due to the lack of maintenance of holding Buddhist beads all the year round, and patted Qin Ao's hands to show comfort.

Qin Ao smiled bitterly silently, since Shen Xin returned to the palace, the two had never met face to face like this.He knew that she was wary of him, but he never thought that she would actually regard him as a jackal and avoid him.

"The emperor, the empress, and the empress dowager have arrived..." With a chorus of singing, the ministers and concubines who had been waiting for a long time in the Taihe Palace knelt down to pay their respects.

"Everyone, it's a family banquet tonight, please take a seat!" Qin Ao took the lead to lead people into the main hall, only officials who had reached the third rank dared to lead their families into the main hall, and other officials sat in the outer hall.

Daqin had a strict order for the appointment of officials, but it was not serious about men and women. It just separated the ministers and their families.As the empress, Shen Xin naturally sat on Qin Ao's left side, with the right on top, and the empress dowager sitting on Qin Ao's right side.

"Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, you don't have to be restrained, drink and drink!" Qin Ao raised his glass, and the ministers also raised their glasses one after another.After seeing Qin Ao's wind and thunder methods to deal with the rebel minister Lin Taiwei, all the ministers wanted to be a man with their tails clenching, and they didn't dare to say anything.

"Mother, I specially found this sinking wood from the South China Sea to carve Guanyin for you, and I hope your mother will be happy." As the emperor, Qin Ao was naturally the first to present Queen Mother Lin with a birthday gift.

"The emperor has a heart, and the Ai family is very happy." The Queen Mother Lin's plain face showed a sincere smile when she saw the Guanyin statue. It can be seen that this gift from Qin Ao is quite in her heart.

"Grandmother, An'er has also prepared a gift for you, please take a look!" Princess Gui'an, who had been about to move for a long time, also asked someone to present her own gift, which was a string of Buddhist beads.I saw that the Buddhist beads were crystal clear, and the most attractive thing was that there was a drop of red on each of the beads. All the people present were people who knew the goods, and everyone looked at it with admiration.

"Could it be the legendary blood beads that the princess sent here?" Soon someone asked, and the princess Gui'an immediately gave him an admiring look.

"The princess is really a filial person." The reason why the blood beads are precious is not because of their crystal clear raw materials, but because of the difficulty in making them.There are a total of 280 blood beads, and the red dots inside each one are phoenix blood.It is rare to see a phoenix in a hundred years. It is said that the last time it appeared was 200 years ago. The phoenix wept blood in the fire, and the blood of the phoenix in the blood was left at that time.

It is rumored that the blood of the phoenix can prolong life, and it is even more beneficial to those who worship the Buddha most, and the blood beads are also priceless.The more legendary the thing is, the more convincing it is. The gift from Princess Gui'an can be said to be a generous gift.
