Chapter 483 The Empress Dowager's Move, Very Unusual

On the first day of the first lunar month, the festive atmosphere of festive songs was reached with the arrival of the emperor's gate and was congratulated by all the people. A round of bright moon in the sky rises above the clouds, and the lights of thousands of households in the world are as bright as the day. The lights and moon are shining and tourists are weaving. The flying eaves and drum tower on the side of Ping'an Gate are brilliant, like the tower of God's sky, guarding the tower. The armored guard wears a lamp and the moon, his eyebrows are awe-inspiring, and he is as majestic as a general.

The dragon and phoenix lanterns in front of the Ping'an Gate are lifelike, attracting people to bow down and pray for good weather and peace of the country and the people's peace this year. At the intersection of Ping'an Long Street and Qingque Avenue, there are huge light wheels, decorated with brocade, gold and silver, and 50,000 lights are burned as flowers and trees, which reflects the Long Street.

Every two-carvings, there are red-colored palacemen and the imperial guards with feathers and cold armor sprinkle happy money like rain, rewarding thousands of people, long live praise rushing into the nine night clouds, and there are also teaching musicians to celebrate the festival, which is carved high on the gate of Ping'an, and there are endless joys and loud songs around their ears.

The reincarnation of the two generations was still the first time to be edicted to participate in the royal Lantern Festival banquet on the Ping'anmen Building.

It is said that it is a family banquet, and the banqueters are naturally nobles. Even ordinary idle clans have not been invited. In addition to the royal family, only a few family members of the prince's mansion have been invited.

Compared with the large and small palace banquets that I once participated in, this dimension of the family banquet did not make the scenery feel as dry as usual.

It's not because it's spectacular to look down from above, nor because the song and dance of this banquet is more wonderful than usual, but because of the "family banquet", the beautiful scenery sits with Yu Yu.

Although he wants to be virtuous as his wife and constantly takes care of the wine and soups of the people around him, the scenery is very happy.

The family banquet did not take too long. With Xu Zheng, the empress dowager accompanied the empress dowager to watch the first round of fireworks tonight. After being worshipped by thousands of people, the concubines and clans followed.

For a short time, the emperor sat up and went to the thousand-step corridor in front of Chengtianmen to have fun with the literary and martial arts courtiers and noble family princes and ministers who received the imperial edict today. On this day, it is also customary for the emperor to evaluate the children of the family. The talented people are all willing to use up their best and study their thoughts, hoping that the poetry can be praised by the emperor. Naturally, there are several years. A beautiful letter came out, copied on a brocade screen, and stood in front of the safe gate and was appreciated by all the people.

The princes naturally followed, and Yu Yu could not escape being selected by the emperor's dragon mouth as a judge. The scenery and the women still stayed in the Ping'an Gate to accompany the Empress Dowager to enjoy the lamp.

The Empress Dowager sat in the middle of the case with the old princess and the eldest princess. This time, she also named the name of Princess Pingle to accompany her on both sides with Yijing.

Princess Pingle suddenly felt that her body was wrapped in thousands of shackles, like sitting on needles and felt.

Later, even the Empress Dowager felt uncomfortable for her and shook her head repeatedly, which pardoned Ping Le and made her feel happy.

No matter how you look at the beautiful scenery, the Empress Dowager has some regrets, and she feels strange.

Especially when the Empress Dowager suddenly asked about Anran.

For a while, the scenery was so surprised that I didn't answer in time.

The queen joked, "The Empress Dowager has always loved Jing'er the most. When she suddenly asked An'er, Jing'er looked like she was jealous."

The noble concubine raised her eyebrows slightly, squeezed her lips and smiled, but heard Concubine Qin's words more like sour and jealousy--

"The imperial grandmother should have loved our granddaughter-in-law more, but she has been snatched by A Jing. This time, it's really a feng shui turn. She deserves to taste the taste of sour vinegar." If this is for others, it is naturally a joke, but it is the fourth princess...

Everyone at the banquet was smiling, but Concubine Qin's face was sad and frowned several times, and she didn't look at her. Concubine Chen secretly stared several times, but was ignored by Qin Fei. Until this time, what she said was like a funny thing, but it was also a smile, more like sarcasm.

If it hadn't been in full view of the public, the noble concubine almost couldn't help shouting.

I feel more and more resentful. In those years, the queen's painstaking efforts made his son spread such an absurd and narrow daughter-in-law. She was simply a disgrace to the face of a noble daughter of the family, and her heart was not even as good as a depressed woman.

Yi Jinghun didn't mind, and really acted coquettishly with Qin's words: "The Empress Dowager's mother booed and warmly about Sister Pingle today, and the concubine was full of sour vinegar. She finally looked forward to Sister Pingle's departure. Before she had a few words to please her, the Empress Dowager thought of the second sister again..." It made the nobles all laugh and eased because of Qin The concubine's "fun" had a slightly stalemate atmosphere, and then returned Anran's words of staying in the colorful shed on Chang'an Street to enjoy the lanterns because she had not been edicted.

Anran and An Jin are concubine daughters. Neither of them has been edicted today. Although they also participated in large and small palace banquets in previous years, the empress dowager has never paid attention to it. The scenery only feels that today is too unusual.

"I think I haven't seen Anran for many years, and they all say that she has a quiet temperament. Sure enough, I haven't seen her come forward during the Fanglin banquet." The Empress Dowager said with a smile, and told her to go down and let her aunt go there in person and bring Anran to "come together".

Anran has not yet been present, and the chambermaid presented several masterpieces, but he was ordered to give comments to the empress dowager and concubines.

The Empress Dowager asked the judge today, led by the guard of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and seemed to casually mention: "The Qingzhou guard family is the first family, and it is also second to be the best to come to the guard to learn. Jinger, I heard that the two daughters of the guard also went to Beijing?"

came. It seems that the hunch of that day was really good, and it was another heavy in the heart of the scenery, but this time it did not float on the surface and said yes with a smile.

The Empress Dowager asked about the age of the two girls.

Binjing noticed that the queen was very concerned about it.

"My eldest cousin has arrived. This time, she came to Kyoto with her aunt because of her marriage in Tianjin Wei." Yijing first mentioned Wei Yun's betrothrony "unintentionally", and then returned to Wei Zhao's situation and praised his cousin just a few words.

Although I understand that the Empress Dowager has some intention, the scenery naturally cannot "defame" Wei Zhao because of this.

The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, but nodded with satisfaction and changed the topic.

Binjing is extremely worried.

She discussed this with Yu Yu earlier, and everyone thought that the empress dowager was interested in Wei Yun - even if the emperor had the heart of easy storage, the empress dowager still valued the concubine. When Yijing talked to the empress dowager about the Zhen family last time, she felt that the empress dowager favored Zhen Liuniang.

Although Zhenlian is not too careful because of the fierce means, the empress dowager still agrees that it is better for the prince concubine to stay in the two families of Zhen and Xing. Mrs. Zhen has no way to teach her daughter, and she herself is also a vicious person, so that the empress dowager questioned the Xing family's tutoring. Therefore, she will be furious when she knew that Mrs. Zhen framed her niece and would deal with Xing. Mr.

But Zhen Liuniang has spread such a scandal, and even if the Tian family forgives, it will no longer consider anything else.

The Empress Dowager was moved to choose another famous lady for the prince. The Qingzhou Wei family is not only the leading family, but also an in-law with the Chu royal family. At present, Wei's uncle has become an official. Although he is not a minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, it is also a matter of time before he is promoted. In the future, the imperial examination will resume. The officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies have more and powers are more important, and the Wei family will become powerful sooner or later. There is no doubt that it can help the crown prince.

The Empress Dowager may want Wei Yun to be the crown princess, and Wei Zhao may want to refer to the third prince.

In this way, the prince and the third prince are more "in concert".

However, Wei Yun has been married, which somewhat disappointed the Empress Dowager.

Wei Zhao has not yet reached the same time. Although the Dalong Law does not stipulate that women can only marry on the 15th, most secular human feelings follow this.

If Wei Zhao is registered as the crown princess at this time, it seems that the heavenly family is too "utilitarian" and hurts the royal reputation.

But the prince has no queen, and the position of the crown princess is really not good.

At this time, the empress dowager considered that if Wei Zhao and Huang were to marry again, the third princess should consider which girl.

There was a marriage event of the two grandchildren in her mind, and the empress dowager's attention was not on a few words in her hand. Unexpectedly, the waiter thought that the empress dowager was extremely appreciated holding this article for a little longer and said with a smile, "Empress, this article was not made by the children of the family."

The Empress Dowager came to her senses and only heard the waiter continue to say, "It's also interesting to say that the seventh lady of the prime minister disguised herself as a man today and followed several brothers to Chengtian Gate. The long poem she wrote was commented by the emperor. When asked, the ministers of the prime minister did not dare to hide it, so they confess."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It turns out that Zi Ruo is that girl, but she is strange."

Concubine Qin did not blame the Empress Dowager, but seemed to have a sense of appreciation. Then she had a sincere smile. She shook the scenery proudly and said with a smile, "The seventh sister is so big-hearted that she hates to be born as a daughter. She has told my concubine many times that she wants to go to the examination room and experience a imperial examination."

The empress dowager is deliberately moved. She said that since the fourth prince married Concubine Qin, Qin has similar movements, but compared with Qin Qi Niang, Qin's wisdom and demeanor are really unbearable, and Qin Xiang also seems to attach more importance to Ziruo's granddaughter.

Although it is not polite for a famous family and a sister to marry a brother separately, the heavenly clan is naturally not restricted here.

Zi Ruo is also a good choice for the crown princess or the third prince concubine.

The two daughters of the prime minister married different princes, and they are not afraid that Qin Xiang will be involved in the throne dispute. As long as he remains neutral, it is beneficial to the prince.

The Empress Dowager is considering who is more suitable for the position of crown princess, Qin Qiniang and Wei Zhao, and she has to find a suitable opportunity to see Wei Zhao to determine.

The "protagonist" who is involved in it will appear.

The third prince walked to the tower in high spirits and didn't care about the surprised look of many women. He stepped forward to salute the empress dowager and the queen, and sat down next to the empress dowager without hesitation to please him.

Yi Jingzheng is worried about Wei Zhao's marriage. In her opinion, the prince is definitely not a good match. As for the third prince...

Sooner or later, this demon will have to move and fall into the prince's disadvantage. If his cousin is really married to him by the heavenly family, how can the Wei family be alone?

The heart of heaven is unpredictable, and even Yu Yu is not sure what the holy will is at this time. Yijing really does not want Wei Zhao, a straightforward and cheerful cousin, to fall into the smoke of this "competition for the throne".

Being absent-minded, she heard the Empress Dowager joke: "The seven daughters of the prime minister's mansion are a boudoir, but the woman dresses up as a man and compares her talents with the children of the family. How can Sanlang be a seven-foot man? Instead, she hid from our group of women to please and sell good things. I feel sorry for the fact that you have not been idle in the past two years and finally know how to share worries with your father. After all, you are still lazy. "

The third prince smiled and said, "Those who are really talented will not be flattered in public. They will show off the little ink in their stomachs, and don't talk about the seven women of the Houfu... They haven't won the first place in poetry at the Lin banquet. They dare to show off in front of the scholars. They are a good girl and learn to get such a reputation."

As soon as this came out, the empress dowager also stopped letting the third prince comment on the girl's words and said an anguishly, "You are obviously lazy and merciless. Qin Qiniang is only caused by a moment of pleasure. No matter how she is, she is a lady. Don't talk nonsense quickly."

The voice of the third prince was not high, and most people didn't hear his comment, but the Qin concubine was next to the queen and the noble concubine and listened to it. Her face had been pulled down for a long time and couldn't help blurting out: "It was the words of the Empress Dowager. The third brother is too mean to let the children of the family celebrate the New Year, but how can the emperor's order of the emperor? It is said that everyone is grandstanding and fishing for fame.

The evil only ignored Qin's righteous words and picked up the long corners of his eyes: "I didn't say everyone, just refer to the seven women in the mansion. The royal order is to let the scholars show their talents, but it didn't let the boudoir women dress up as men for a long time, isn't it? She doesn't know how many of the four arts of famous girls are outstanding, so she can't measure her ability... That poem has not been praised by the emperor. When she commented, she said how it has a smell of powder... When asked, she knew that it was made by the boudoir, and the emperor laughed at it... The fourth sister and sister thought that Fang Linyan was to test the talent of the boudoir, if any man Isn't it funny to dress up for talent and participate in it? Don't blame the fourth sister-in-law. I always don't know how to be tactful, especially the lady who is more important than the sky.

Concubine Qin blushed with these words, but she stared at the really innocent scenery with hatred. She was about to ridicuch each other and only listened to Chen Guifei's cold warning beside her: "If you want Qin Qiniang's reputation to be swept away, you might as well make a scene known to everyone."

Concubine Qin woke up and clenched her fist with cold frost on her face.

Chen Guifei scolded in her heart: It's really stupid. The empress dowager obviously moved the idea of letting Qin Zi Ruo become the third prince's concubine. Fortunately, the third prince was stubborn. Otherwise, if it really happened, how could Qin Xiang would have given up on Silang? Even the slight help of the Qin family were taken away. Silang married such a stupid woman in vain. I don't know. The so-called!

Yi Jing saw the third prince talking with the empress dowager, and looked at her frequently, and she was not comfortable. She hoped that she would follow her aunt to the tower and quickly "get up to let Xian" and let Anran sit in this "attention" seat. She only talked to Yichen and other clan daughters.

At the beginning of Hai, the north wind was even sharper, and everyone gradually felt an unstoppable coldness. The empress dowager got up and drove back to the palace. The scenery also went down to the tower with the old princess, Anran and the little Xie, who had been flattering the queen all night, and boarded the car to the colorful shed in the royal palace.
