A pair of copper cranes on the elixir of the main hall of Cining Palace were polished to a shiny look. The palace maids all had red velvet flowers on their heads and a joyful smile on their faces.

After Fu Tingyun and Mrs. Wu entered the palace, they stood in the corresponding position according to the guidance of the ritual officials. Just as civil and military officials went to court, foreign women should pay their birthdays according to their husbands' ranks, first nobles and then powerful ministers, first civil officials and then military generals, or pay their birthdays to the Empress Dowager alone or in batches.

When it was Fu Tingyun's turn, she saw Mrs. Yu.

She stood in the fifth position of the first row of the side hall on the east side, with a solemn expression. When she heard the official report of "Fu, the wife of the General Zhao Huchen of Guizhou", her eyes and eyebrows did not move, as if she didn't know each other.

Fu Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief.

With the relationship between them, it is already unnecessary to do whatever you want. It is better to be clean and neat than everyone. Meeting each other is like a stranger.

She respectfully gave the Empress Dowager a great gift and stood aside.

I felt a lot of eyes falling on myself.

She didn't think much about it - she was a new face that appeared this year, and it was normal for everyone to be curious.

After about an hour, the birthday worship session finally ended. Under the guidance of the ritual official, everyone surrounded the Empress Dowager and headed towards the second hall behind.

The Empress was the Empress who supported the Empress Dowager, but the two old women with gray hair were talking to the Empress Dowager.

Fu Tingyun couldn't help but take a look.

Someone around him whispered: "That is Mrs. Longping Hou and Mrs. Fuguo."

Fu Tingyun turned around and saw a beautiful woman about thirty years old.

She couldn't help but smile and whispered: "When did you arrive?"

The beautiful woman was Qin Feiyu's wife.

Qin Feiyu and the Longping Hou family had some relatives. If there were any activities in the palace, Mrs. Qin would go in and out with the female relatives of the Longping Hou family. Since the Yingchuan Hou went to Liaodong, the female relatives of the Fuguo Duke's Mansion liked to pull Mrs. Mo for any matter. Fu Tingyun did not want to get too close to the Longping Hou family nor too close to the Fuguo Duke's Mansion, so she had to act alone.

"It's a little earlier than you." Mrs. Qin smiled, "I saw Mrs. Wu leaving Mrs. Ji and greet you in... I didn't expect that your relationship with Mrs. Wu is so good?"

Fu Tingyun smiled but didn't say anything.

In such an occasion, only those who are brave and confident dare to whisper a few times. Even so, they dare not keep whispering.

Mrs. Qin blinked at her, said nothing, and followed everyone into the palace side by side.

At the instructions of the ritual officials, each sat down, and the palace maids held a refreshment, and the birthday banquet officially began.

The sound of music in the second hall sounded. When the cold dishes were served, the wife of Fu Duke Guo and the wife of Longping came forward one after another to toast the Empress Dowager and congratulated the Empress Dowager on their 70th birthday.

When the women from noble families saw them, they were not willing to be outdone. They spoke auspicious words and held wine.

The wives of some big men in the court also began to raise their glasses to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager laughed at first, but later she became a little reluctant. When the Empress saw her, she served as a drink.

Everyone praised the Queen for her filial piety and considerateness, which is worthy of being a model of the country.

The second hall became lively.

Fu Tingyun thought she had the lowest qualifications. Seeing Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Mo didn't move, she was not ready to go for this. In addition, she went out at the door at the time of Yin. Although she brought a few pastries with her, she had never had the chance to take them out. It was already noon and she was already hungry, so she sat there honestly and lowered her head to eat, preparing to fill her stomach first. However, the weather was a bit cold in late February, and the cold dishes were fine. The hot dishes were cold when they were served, such as stewed elbows and braised pork, and there was a thick layer of oil on them. She was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable and dared to choose some vegetarian dishes.

Suddenly someone came over and asked her: "You are the wife of Zhao Ling and Zhao Huchen's family, right?"

Those who can walk around the table may only be palace maids or female officials.

Fu Tingyun's heart suddenly broke out. Although she was a little panicked, her face was not visible. She smiled and put down her chopsticks, sat up straight with a gentle smile, and responded to "Yes".

The person who asked about the question was a palace maid about eighteen and nineteen years old.

She smiled at Fu Tingyun and said, "The Empress Dowager, please come over and talk."

Fu Tingyun was shocked and stood up quickly, and quickly lit the throne set in the Second Hall.

The toasted ladies sat down. The Empress Dowager was pulling Mrs. Longping and saying something. The Empress leaned over and listened with a smile, and could not see any signs of attention.

Fu Tingyun muttered in her heart, but she did not dare to neglect the palace maid toward the throne.

The people in the second hall gradually noticed something strange, and their eyes fell on Fu Tingyun without any hesitation.

Fu Tingyun stopped four or five steps away from the throne. The palace maid said "Mrs. Zhao is here." Then the Empress Dowager turned her head.

She hurriedly bowed and said, "I wish the Queen Mother a good birthday, and today every year, and today every year." Such a mediocre but never wrong congratulations, and then saluted the Queen.

Then I heard the Empress Dowager laugh twice kindly, and then said to Mrs. Longping Hou: "This is the wife of Lord Zhao Huchen, the general of Guizhou who can rule the Cangbird!"

Fu Tingyun bent her knees and saluted Mrs. Longping Hou Tai.

Mrs. Longping Hou rushed forward with a humble and hurriedly and took Fu Tingyun: "Mrs. Zhao doesn't have to be too polite. Speaking of which, our two families still have some connections - when my fool went to Guizhou to quell the rebellion, Lord Zhao was his camp officer."

"The Grandmad Madam has a good memory." Fu Tingyun smiled, "Later, the Lord of my family came back and told me that during his trip to Guizhou, he followed the Marquis of Longping and General Mo to quell the rebellion and learned a lot of things."

The Empress Dowager laughed and smiled at Mrs. Longping Hou and said, "Look at this child, he is really good at speaking."

The Queen smiled and said nothing.

Mrs. Longping Hou nodded constantly and smiled kindly: "It's much better than ours." That tone was very familiar with the Empress Dowager.

"I am stupid," Fu Tingyun said humbly, "I dare not be the Empress Dowager so praises."

The Empress Dowager seemed to be in a good mood. She waved her hand and looked disapproving. She looked a little less serious and a little more casual than usual. She smiled and said, "I heard that you already have one girl and two men? Is your daughter older or your son older? How old are they each?"

Fu Tingyun answered one by one.

The Empress Dowager was a little moved and said, "You and Mrs. Wuding, both of you and Mrs. Wuding, are married by me. She is still empty in her knees, but you are already full of children." Speaking of this, she asked the female official around her: "Where is Mrs. Wuding, Mrs. Wuding? She was still here just now..."

The female official hurriedly pointed to a banquet not far away and smiled and said, "Mrs. Wuding Hou has just settled down." She said, "I'm going to invite Mrs. Wuding Hou to come over and speak?"

The Empress Dowager nodded almost invisible.

The female official walked to the banquet with a light but quickly and invited a young woman who looked solemn and dignified.

Fu Tingyun was surprised.

But after a few years, the little girl who was as bright as spring has become a calm and solemn lady.
