There are five princes in the younger generation.

And the princess of zhe County, Princess Haifeng of Xixia, who married with her parents in the old year.

There are unmarried princes like sixth and seventh.

The rest of the younger generation are the sons or other children in the prince's house, not to mention here.

In the harem.

All the concubines, princesses and princesses are here.

All in all, the hall is full.

Xia Ruqing is the highest in the harem, sitting beside Zhao Junyao.

The princess and the princesses were sitting on the Queen's side.

In the middle is an open space for singing and dancing or watching a play.

At night, the lights begin to shine.

The main hall is decorated with lanterns and delicacies.

Carved beams and painted buildings are filled with the fragrance of wine.

In the remote part of the main hall, the actors in the palace have already prepared the silk and bamboo instruments.

Just waiting for the banquet to play wonderful music for the royal family.

Everything is ready and the nobles are coming together.

The emperor helped the Empress Dowager and finally appeared.

Seeing the arrival of the emperor and the empress dowager, the people who spoke in twos and threes immediately got up to meet him.

"See the emperor, see the Empress Dowager!"

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "flat body!"

Thank you and take your seat.

Everything is as like as two peas.

However, people in the harem were surprised.

After all, this is the first time that the Empress Dowager has appeared in front of the public since she lived deeply.

After everyone sat down, they all looked at the Empress Dowager.

Xia Ruqing followed everyone's eyes and looked over together.

The Empress Dowager was wearing a jujube red imperial dress embroidered with phoenix flowers, and a maroon red crown inlaid with Ruby on her head.

It's no different to dress up.

It's just a lot thinner than before.

His face was haggard, and there was almost no light in front of him.

The word "old age of wind and candle" comes to mind.

Xia Ruqing shook her head slightly and sighed in her heart.

"That's what it's all about. You can't live if you do evil. That's what it is!"

"You say that the emperor is your own son. It's not good to live a good life. You have to turn your elbow out!"

"Now that you've scattered your mother's family, are you happy?"

There is no sympathy, only sighing.

The rest of the people looked at it, and they all lowered their heads. They had different thoughts, and they thought about everything.

Sit down, everyone. When the party begins.

Zhao Junyao said a few words, the Empress Dowager also reluctantly said a few words.

Then there's a banquet.

Pipe music of silk and bamboo.

After three rounds of drinking, there was a witty person to make fun of.

The atmosphere is less rigid.

The banquets in the palace are the same.

I didn't eat well. The dishes were hot when they were served. It's cold now.

I don't drink well either.

No matter how good the wine is, it's so cold in winter that people who drink it are not interested in it.

Besides, we are still hungry.

So people are just putting on airs and making the scene come true. Who will really have enough to eat.

I had two mouthfuls of food and a little hot tea.

Xia Ruqing couldn't eat any more.

Bored, looking around.

The princesses and concubines who haven't seen each other outside the palace for a long time have not changed much.

There was only one person who had changed so much that she could hardly recognize it.

"Is that really Princess Haifeng?"

Xia Ruqing asks ziyue quietly.

Purple month quickly hang head, quietly nod.

"Lady, that's right!"

Ziyue thought and said.

"It's said that Princess Haifeng has been pregnant for nine months and will be born another month ahead."

Xia Ruqing nodded thoughtfully.

"No wonder, what I said... So fat!"

She used to have delicate thick eyebrows and big eyes, but now she is full of weight.

The whole person is bloated like a round ball.

Xia Ruqing looked at it again and sighed in her heart.

"It seems that the fifth master around her is still very considerate. He's not only putting food in, but also handing a handkerchief!"

At the beginning, who said they had a bad relationship?

Maybe Haifeng is really eye-catching.

The empress dowager, who did not appear for a long time, also asked faintly.

"How long have you been pregnant? How can it be good to go out in the evening without saying a word?"

intend.

Actually, you can't come.

The sea maple and five Ye looked at each other, haven't had time to reply.

One side of the princess is smiling.

"Tell the Empress Dowager that Haifeng has been eight or nine months old. The doctor said that this baby is very stable. Come out and walk more. It's more comfortable when you have a baby!"

The Empress Dowager nodded faintly, and it seemed that she didn't really care.

But when she heard that the child was eight or nine months old.

The eyes of the overwhelming loss, cover also can not cover, like to overflow.

"Eight or nine months!"

"She didn't even know when she was eight or nine months old!"

"It seems that the emperor really broke all her eyes and ears!"

Now ningshou palace is full of emperors.

He knew every bit of what she ate, when she recited Buddhism, and when she fell asleep, as long as he wanted to.

To cover up the loss.

She took a quick sip of tea, but it was bitter and astringent in her mouth.

She looked again at Shi pin, who was sitting among the concubines.

I saw that she was dressed in the clothes of the master.

He looks pretty good.

The third princess is also obedient, standing beside her.

She was lowering her head and feeding the princess with a small bowl in her hand.

The third princess opened her mouth.

Shi Bin's eyes were full of satisfaction after a meal.

She grinned and rubbed the princess's hair, full of praise.

The third princess also smiles at her.

When the Empress Dowager saw her, she was slightly touched.

"The child seems to have grown taller again. He looks very close to his concubine!"

"I think she loves her very much!"

This seems to be good, too.

But

Is this really what Shi bin wants?

She took so much effort and risk to bring herself down.

Is this kind of life really what she wants?

The Empress Dowager didn't understand.

But suddenly she laughed at herself.

"Oh! What if I don't understand? "

"She's an old woman under the emperor's house arrest. What else do you want?"

Take your time.

The battlefield of the harem no longer belongs to her.

I do not know what to think of, her eyes suddenly bright.

She quickly lowered her head to cover up her differences.

When I lift my eyes again, it is the appearance of vicissitudes.

"Mother, what's the matter with you?"

The emperor asked thoughtfully.

The Empress Dowager gave a "kind" smile.

"It's nothing, but I'm old and I'm in a bad mood!"

Zhao Junyao laughed, but his smile didn't reach his eyes.

"If your mother is tired, go back and have a rest early. It's cold. You're just better!"

Empress Dowager Leng Leng, did not seem to expect him to say so.

Go back early?

It's good to think about it. What are you doing sitting here? Is it blocking your heart?

So she nodded with a smile.

"The emperor is still considerate!"

"In that case, I went back first. I'm really old and in poor spirits."

"Let's have a good time!"

The Empress Dowager got up and asked her to leave.

People dare not disobey, get up to salute.
