Vol 5 Chapter 61: Time flies

The Queen discussed the blind date with the imperial concubine for a long time...The official name is the literary meeting called by Princess Zhaoqing, which will be held three days later by the lotus pond on the back of the palace.
Regarding the choice of location, the concubines had a heated discussion.
In the end, it was decided that, in addition to the large area, wide view, pleasant scenery, far away from the concubine's residence, etc., there is one of the most important places. Although the place is tall and covered with green trees, the terrain is generally very flat.
The Zezhi Tower, which was originally built to overlook the lotus pond, was fitted with a veil and could hide behind it to spy on most of the banquet scene.
No matter how best to observe it secretly.
After all, this banquet was held for the life-long events of the children, and it is impossible for them to stay in the banquet all the time, making the younger generations unable to let go, so what else to observe?
"It's just that if you don't invite their elders this time, is it inconvenient to ask questions?" The original imperial concubine's proposal was based on the reason that Princess Xincheng was about to marry.
It’s just that Xie Kuo, a princess, is also a more thoughtful girl. After all, she is born in a humble background and is raised in a palace. It is impossible to say recklessly. If there are noble ladies and the emperor's clan is present, it may not be suppressed. The scene can be kept; secondly, it is only convenient to invite female family members, but not to invite men.
So after careful discussion, it was rejected.
After that, the queen and the imperial concubine planned to invite the elders of the elders of the noble sons and new scholars to a banquet. When that time, the concubines and the elders will join the elders, and the princess and princes will observe each other with the younger generations.
However, after discussion, it was changed to Princess Zhaoqing as the lead, and of course all the people who were unmarried were just behind the senior high school.
In this way, the elders of these people are all blocked out.
At this moment, Concubine De was a little tangled, and whispered, "In case the child is good, the mother-in-law at home is not a good companion, this..."
"What does that matter?" Gu Zhen disapproved. "No matter how bad they are, it is also for ordinary people, royal blood, tolerate them presumptuous?"
Concubine De concubine immediately looked at Yun Fenghuang. Yun Fenghuang actually thought so too, but Concubine De Concubine was hers after all, and asked the queen to touch a soft nail in public. She couldn’t even follow the words of the queen and look like she I'm afraid of the queen.
He said indifferently: "This year is not the only time for this banquet. It is about the life-long events of the emperor's heirs. How can it be easily settled? I have to make inspections again and again. Now I will see the children first, and wait for the next time. , Goodbye to the elders is the same. After all, the elders are present, so if they don’t know what happened, they will return to Yuan? Today there is no elder, even if there is guidance in advance, we can see some problems in the past. Wouldn’t it be good to see their own talents change?"
"Sister Guifei is still considerate." When Defei heard this, she quickly praised her, looking at the queen as if intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Zhen sneered slightly, and was too lazy to be angry with Concubine De, and only said, "That's it. Regarding the topic, this palace will have one with Concubine, Concubine Shu and Concubine De. Please think about it these two days."
So on the day when the banquet began, the clothes and shadows by the lotus pond were like clouds.
Princess Zhaoqing, who is simply the master of today, has been accustomed to the limelight since she was a child, and she can hold the place regardless of her identity or her temperament ability. Although it was a little messy at first, she quickly calmed down. Looking down from the Zezhi Tower, there is order.
The male and female guests each occupy one side of the seat, all of them are beautiful and beautifully dressed, looking so pleasing to the eye.
But even though the ring is fat, the swallow and the thin, and the demeanor is different, the princess Zhaoqing who is in the main position is still a well-deserved jewel, regardless of her appearance or style, she can easily crush anyone present.
So much so that the gazes of many young people couldn't help but linger on her, and their affection was dark.
Although the empress and other concubines have always been very upset that Yun Fenghuang can be spoiled for many years, watching at this time, I have to admit that she is really good at training children.
Because in terms of beauty, they are actually the same seven emperors produced by Yi Xingen, and they are no worse than their sister... This pair of sisters from the same father and mother are very similar in appearance, and they are the kind of sisters that can be seen at a glance.
But the seven emperors have been dressed carefully today, wearing a pink bottom with embroidered oleander, pinched gold silk, short sleeves, a phoenix tail skirt, combed with double snails, and a bright hairpin on the head, gorgeous and gorgeous. It is like a flower of wealth in the world, but it is still annihilated in many elaborate costumes, and it is not as eye-catching as Zhaoqing stands out.
"The palace still remembers the appearance of the eldest son and the eldest daughter of the emperor at the full moon." The banquet was only opened at this time, and everyone was polite, except for their looks.
In the Zezhi Tower, the concubines took a few glances, and then sat down first. After the three rounds of wine, the atmosphere became lively and looked at the details.
But the queen suddenly spoke, and said in a dazed tone, "The day seems to be still in front of us, and the children are going to talk about marriage at a blink of an eye."
She sighed, reluctantly but had to admit, "My palace is getting old without knowing it."
"Where did the empress empress say?" Although Yun Fenghuang waited for the enemy's concubine, and often said in private that the empress was "that old thing", he had to pretend to persuade him in front of him. But where is he getting old? If you don’t believe me, I asked people to take a mirror to see. Isn’t the empress still the beauty of the country when she entered the palace?"
Of course, this is a nonsense with his eyes open. Gu Zhen was elected to the palace and was in a high position. Although he mainly relied on his family background, his appearance was not bad.
But over the years, I have experienced exhaustion. Huafa was born early, and the best way to maintain his face at the moment can't keep the haggardness at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
The most important thing is that after frequent defeats, the heart is hit one after another. The vitality of a young girl has long been exhausted. Except for the grace and luxury cultivated by the dignity for many years, it is the exhaustion of trying to conceal.
When everyone comforted the queen, they also subconsciously went to see Yun Fenghuang.
Counting this beloved concubine entered the palace at the age of fifteen, it has been thirteen years since then, and it is also the coming year.
It is certainly not possible to say that Maengruo is a girl, after all, she is also a mother.
Just looking at the face and cheeks, full of energy, and between the completely opened eyebrows, although it is not the charming and charming of a girl, it is only the charming and elegant of an adult woman.

She wore a light blue palace dress today, and her skin became whiter and more delicate, like a jade jade, with a radiant brilliance.
…It’s no wonder that the emperor is still a favorite.
I couldn't help but peek at An Fei...
To be honest, Concubine An will come to Zezhi Tower today, which surprised the Sixth Palace.
It was not that she specifically rejected her, but because the lord had tossed down several times, and now he has no children under his knees.
This kind of feast was held purely to find a spouse for the emperor's heirs, why did she come here?
Are you still thinking about the soft-hearted and filial Sixth Prince, or are you coming to watch the fun?
It just so happens that An Fei is wearing a green dress today, but it is pine green.
This color was originally extremely white.
Among the many concubines in Chunjia, Yuan Meiniang's appearance has never been considered superior. But because of his birthright, there is no problem with white skin and black hair. A few years ago, due to many things, it was said that her face was ruined. The news has been spread for a long time, but she has not been able to speak. But judging from the fact that she is wearing a veil indoors at the moment, and her entire face is covered strictly, it is 80% true.
At this moment, the pine green only lined her neck.
It's quite white.
But that kind of whiteness is not the whiteness of Concubine Min's lustre and snow, but lifelessness, revealing the exhaustion and depression accumulated over the years, without any vitality.
"Concubine An is getting old too..." The queen couldn't help thinking like this, "Yes, she is as old as the palace, and she is a lot older than Concubine Min... These years have not been happy. Concubine Cui Shu is also not happy."
Since Chunjia took office, Concubine Cui Shu, who was not high-profile, has become more and more low-key.
She wore a crimson dress today, and her hairpins and hoops showed signs of inability to achieve success.
At this moment, listening to everyone's sighs, it was just a quiet laugh, without saying a word.
Obviously, the memory of being beaten in the palace battle is still fresh.
"Don't say you are old, the empress, but you are the same age as your majesty." The concubines were plunged into the atmosphere of reminiscing the past, and Zezhi Building felt melancholy for a while.
Still Yun Fenghuang smiled round the field, "Your Majesty Chunqiu is flourishing, aren't you?"
This made everyone awe-inspiring.
That's right, Gu Zhen is the same age as Chunjia.
If Gu Zhen is old, isn't the emperor also old? So for an emperor who thinks he is a prime man, what is your intention to say that he is old?
Especially Chunjia hasn't established a crown prince. At this moment, he is not young, and it is hard not to arouse the instinct of an emperor to defend the throne.
"The empress has tasted this water chestnut, the people underneath fished it from the lotus pond, but it is sweet." Concubine Shu stuffed the peeled water chestnut to the queen, and gave the imperial concubine a hand. "The imperial concubine also took a look. The water on this mountain is good, and the aquatic products that it grows are good."
Finally turned the topic off.
Next, no one dared to talk about their age anymore, but they talked about the protagonist who was going to the banquet today.
"The concubine just dazzled and saw Miss Jue, is Miss Jue also in the banquet today?" De Fei asked first, "The concubine remembers that the gold hairpin inlaid with gilt jade and the golden hairpin is a palace object. , Did the empress give Miss Jue a reward?"
The queen nodded slightly: "It's Jue'er. Earlier, she accidentally ran into the eleven emperors. Although Concubine Jing was magnanimous and careless, the child was still very guilty and uneasy. I couldn't sleep for several days and nights in the palace, and finally I asked myself to go back and reflect. The palace sees her sincerely, and it is right. These days, she has not left the house in the palace, and copied a lot of scriptures to the eleven emperors to pray for blessings. Yesterday, she asked someone to send it to the palace. She intends to wait for a while. Sent to Concubine Jing."
Concubine Jing's eleven emperors were still young, and she didn't come here today.
In fact, even if the eleventh emperors are young, they can come to find out some news first.
After all, the emperor grew up very quickly.
The key is this occasion. Anyone who has a brain will know, don't look at the empress and the noble concubine talking and laughing at this moment, getting along with each other in harmony.
After a while, if you can't talk about turning your face, you will turn your face.
Those who have older heirs under their knees must not be present for the important life-long events of the heirs. If they don't, or the children are still young, if they have a little brain, they want to avoid them.
At this moment, Concubine Jing did not give thanks on the spot, praising Gu Jue's virtuous and virtuous heart, but there were others who casually praised Gu Jue, which was regarded as exposing the injury of the eleventh emperors.
Then it was Concubine Shu's niece who was brought up.
