Chapter 214 Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner

"Aren't Mu Qingyi to take care of His Highness?" Ashan was stunned, and then understood what she meant. He reached out and broke a petal and put a petal in Princess Xiping's hand, lest Princess Xiping tried to lean over and grab the lotus several times, but she cried because her bones were still soft and couldn't get up. He muttered, "This is an unspeakable way... However, Jiang Shunhua died. Weiss, although Mu Qingyi was her confidant before she was alive, she may not be able to believe it!"

Mu Bi frowned slightly and said, "We don't know anything about Chengguang Hall, but I think Jiang Shunhua has previously raised Mu Shi and believed her. What's more, this time Jiang Shunhua passed away. Although your majesty also knows it, Mu Shi and others are Jiang Shunhua's close attendants. After all, they have to deal with them. Although they are ridiculous and pleasant, they are of no grade. The maid of honor, but Shunhua's close servant, can she be compared with ordinary palace people? Even if your majesty doesn't let them enter the eternal alley, how can he be compared with serving the princess?

"But Jiang Shunhua was born as a slave. At the beginning, he was not pleased by the empress dowager when he entered the palace, and there was no dowry maid." Ashan reminded, "And it's not like Sun Guicubine... Oh, like You Zhaoyi and others. The maids of honor are familiar with the palace for a long time. At least there are a few people who know the root of the palace. The Mu family is also good, funny and pleasant. Which one is not the palace that entered before Jiang Shunhua? This time, His Majesty executed Xiao Qingyi and Mo Zuosi. There is no need to talk about the prayer hall, but the Chengguang Hall may not be under Xiao Qingyi alone!"

Mu Bi frowned slightly: "When you said that, I was a little regretful before I took it to accommodate Lei Mo."

She pondered for a moment and said, "Or I'll ask for another trip now. Maybe Lei Mo doesn't have time to mention it?"

"This is not good." Ah Shan shook his head and reminded, "The most important thing for the girl to raise Princess Xiping was that Jiang Shunhua died in childbirth. Although Jiang Shunhua was angry before the girl entered the delivery room at that time, it was actually very inappropriate to go back to plead for Mu, who was also a close servant of Shunhua in the delivery room at that time. After all, Jiang Shunhua died, and secretly The biggest benefit is the girl. If Her Royal Highness grows up, she will always know that she is not the girl's own flesh and blood. At that time, if the young man instigates Jiang Shunhua to push the murder of Jiang Shunhua to the girl, she will be bought by the girl at all. This is not a layer of her own life!"

Mu Bi's face suddenly changed: "Yes, this matter is indeed my recklessness!"

"So since the girl opened her mouth to beg for Mu, she can't repeat it. After all, she can still insist that Mu has been serving Jiang Shunhua, so she was asked to serve the princess Jiang Shunhua, but the girl first asked someone to plead for mercy, and then repented and spread it. I'm afraid she will fall into the words to silence. ." Ah Shan said in a low voice.

In July, the two high-ranking concubines in the palace were born prematurely. Of course, Mu Biwei benefited the most from it, but she also took the same risk. Princess Xiping is still young, and she may not look like to raise them. Moreover, Jiang Shunhua herself died vaguely. Empress Dowager Gao must have plans to leave her mother and children. Why Although she was vague in front of Mu Qingyi that day, her words could not be accurate, and she might not have intervened. Coupled with Nie Yuansheng's smile on this matter, Mu Biwei felt that he might have taken action...

The question is who lost Jiang Shunhua's life. I'm afraid only the person who did it and Jiang Shunhua knew it. After all, although He entered the delivery room, Mu may not dare to say it for He's threat, but Xiao Qingyi was also in the delivery room at that time. At that time, Mu Bi hurried Before arriving at Chengguang Hall, I heard the news that He had entered the delivery room. At that time, I thought that Jiang was finished.

But now calm down and think about it. Xiao Qingyi may not be so weak. She has the support of the empress dowager behind her. If He is tampling in the delivery room, she noticed... At that time, Ji Shen was waiting in the front hall, but the empress dowager was also rushing over. Why didn't Xiao Qingyi point it out?

In this case, after Princess Xiping grew up, if she doubts the cause of her biological mother's death, Mu Biwei really can't provide any evidence to prove her innocence - after all, the imperial edict said that she and Jiang Shunhua had been friends for a long time, and Jiang Shunhua was entrusted to her on her deathbed, and that high-sounding words could not be hidden from the six palaces, let alone the children Zi can remember things when he is four or five years old. Although Mu Biwei has become Xuanhui now, it is impossible to control the mouths of the six palaces. Even Zuo Zhaoyi does not have the ability.

Mu Biwei thought for a moment, and her eyes fell on Xiping, but only snorted: "Forget it, how can life be in the world? I won't treat her badly. Even if she doubts something when she grows up, she is at most estranged. After all, she is just a princess. Even if the prince, Jiang Shunhua has gone, and my adoptive mother is also a mother. How far can she disobey me?

She squeezed her lips and said lightly, "What's more, I may not have my own child!"

"That's reasonable." Ah Shan previously felt that Mu was suspicious. At this time, he also felt that he was too cautious when he heard Mu Biwei said it. Not to mention that Mu Biwei did not do it, but she did it. Princess Xiping will know again in the future. Without strong evidence, the word filial piety can be called Princess Xiping not dare to neglect Mu Biwei, and it is not like Ji Shen. Emperor Gaozu himself. His throne also caught up with the rapid collapse of the predecessor Emperor Ruizong. Although the Gao family behind the Empress Dowager Gao was strong, it was not strong enough to threaten the royal family - what's more, Jiang Shunhua's birth has been taboo in the palace until now. Speaking of Ji Shen handed over Princess Xiping to Mu Biwei's upbring, in addition to Mu Biwei was promoted to the throne, and there was no consideration for Xiping to have a good future because of Jiang's death. After all, Mu Qi is a person that Ji Shen intends to use after his own politics. The princess can't inherit the throne, but a good-looking foreign family is better than nothing.

"Your Majesty is going to give Yan Qinglin Hall tonight. What should I wear?" Mu Biwei saw that she had talked about Princess Xiping, and then talked about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Ashan thought for a moment and said, "This is the first time a girl has appeared since she got the Jin Palace Concubine. It's not a grand ceremony, it's just a night banquet. Now the weather is still hot, why don't it? It's better to wear the thorn skirt with gold-embroidered osmanthus branches on a pine green background, and the new ginger-colored peony-wrapped peony-to-shirt. It's wind is cool at night, and it is inevitable in the banquet hall. I will put a lot of ice and put the lotus-colored flowers on my belt. If it's cold, I will put it up.

Mu Bi thought carefully for a moment and nodded.

................................................................................................................................................................................................

Qinglin Hall is a place where state banquets and foreign envoys were specially held during the former Wei Dynasty. In order to highlight the strength of the Great Wei Dynasty at that time, it was built. The white jade outside the hall was paved and crystal as a railing. The golden lacquer column in the hall and incense was the bed. On the upper nine-level elixirs, each level was embedded with five different. The jewelry means the supreme of 95.

The golden throne on the Danqi is brilliant, and a pair of palace lamps next to the seat are full of blue colors. At first sight, it is still a common blue gauze lamp in the palace. When I looked carefully, I found that two watermelon-sized transparent jasper was hollowed out and thinned into a lampshade. The light source in the cover was stable - but it was a night pearl the size of two baby's fists!

Ji Shen does not like to deal with the government, but likes to have fun, so although he does not fall in love with the dynasty, he often gives banquets on New Year's festivals. Especially in July this year, the palace has been very turbulent for a while for the production of the two concubines. Therefore, this Mid-Autumn Festival specially ordered officials above the fifth grade in Yedu to participate - also to borrow the festival. The joy rushed to those things in the previous month.

The atmosphere of the former Wei Dynasty was open, and this dynasty was deeply influenced by the Wei wind. On such occasions, there were only a few screens between the seats of the concubines and the seats of the ministers, and the positions of several concubines near Ji Shen were even seen by the position of His Highness's courtiers.

He is in one of these seats. Today, she is wearing a wide-sleeved crepe outerwear with embroidered branches and peach blossoms, a goose yellow and silver silk chest skirt, combing a Japanese bun, a pink and jade face, full of eyes, and a dignified sitting posture. She does not have the charm of getting along with Ji Shen in private at all. On the contrary, she looks upright and grand. If she doesn't know She will only think that she is a woman strictly taught by her family.

It's just that He's position is not the closest to Ji Shen at today's banquet...

She lowered her head and looked at the reflection of the bronze lord on the case in front of her - Ji Shen, accompanied by a woman in gorgeous clothes. On the left side, although the appearance on the right side was slightly inferior, it was better than the charming Chu Chu, which was like a flowering branch - You Zhaoyi Sun, and Xuanhui Mu, the head of the new concubine. Such an arrangement shows the real order of the harem unabashedly in front of people!

Although Sun has just been out of confinement, she is not depressed tonight. Her dress is very grand. She is actually dressed in a dark-colored clothes, with an extremely complicated four-ring fairy bun on her head, which is full of pearls. However, because of her peerless face, she is not vulgar at all. Instead, she gives full play to the four words of elegance and dignity.

Although she is not the queen yet, she accompanies Ji Shen and occupies a more noble left position. Sun looks at His Highness, the concubines, and even the ministers, with an undisguised intention of overlooking!

In contrast, Zuo Zhaoyi and Qu, who have the highest nominal position in the harem so far, sat silently, not the farthest place from Ji Shen, but absolutely not the closest place, drinking a cup of osmanthus pulp indifferently, with ethereal eyes...

"Your Majesty, please drink up this bottle and wish me a long life!" As usual, the left and right prime ministers took the lead in persuading him. Nie Yuansheng smiled and said the same greetings as the people around him. He was proud and alert.

This is August of the fifth year of Taining, and the Qinglin Hall shouted loudly, singing and dancing.

A bright moon outside the hall, frosty white, covered with silver all over the ground.

Volume 1 is over.
