The Imperial Garden was very lively and bustling with people, even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
The most lively time in the palace is probably the Queen Mother's birthday. This is always the case in previous years. On this day, almost all the courtiers will be invited into the palace to make the palace lively and lively. It is rare for the palace to have such a grand gathering of thousands of people.
Princess Zhenbei said to Jiang You: "There are many people today, so you don't have to be too cautious. Just follow me."
Jiang You nodded and said, "Okay."
Princess Zhenbei liked Jiang You's cute spirit. She never liked such occasions, but some occasions were unavoidable.
The birthday banquet in the Imperial Garden is also divided into several areas. The higher the rank of the officials and their families, the more the birthday banquet will be located in the central venue. Princess Zhenbei’s location is also in the central venue, because the Zhenbei Palace
He was still highly regarded by the emperor.
"I've met Princess Zhenbei." When Princess Zhenbei was talking to Jiang You, a man suddenly came up to her and talked to her.
She looked over and was a little surprised to see a young woman.
Jiang You followed the voice and looked over, and met Nan Rongghi's eyes. Nan Rongghi suppressed the anger in her heart, turned to Princess Zhenbei, and said: "Princess, I am Nan Rongghi."
"It turns out to be the princess." Princess Zhenbei understood immediately. Of course she also knew that Nan Rongzhi had asked the emperor for a marriage and was rejected. If it were any other girl, she would have been too late to hide, but Nan Rongzhi didn't expect it.
Zhi even took the initiative to say hello to her.
Nan Rongzhi was very angry when she saw that Jiang You and Princess Zhenbei had such a good relationship. Jiang You was still holding Princess Zhenbei's arm, and those who didn't know thought they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!
Last time, she was imprisoned by the Chief Assistant and was not released until yesterday. It was really humiliating. And she remembered all of this on Jiang You, and it was all Jiang You's fault.
"It seems that Miss Jiang Liu can't come to this area, right?" Nan Rongzhi looked at Jiang You with a half-smile but not a smile, and said, "You are a concubine. You have such a big face when you come to the central venue. You are not afraid of losing it.
The princess’s face?”
When Jiang You was about to speak, the Princess of Zhenbei had already retorted in a deep voice: "I don't have to worry about it, Princess. The Sixth Miss came with me. The location in our Zhenbei Prince's Mansion is very spacious. Miss Sixth will accompany you."
It's perfect for me."
There are all long, short tables in this venue, and the tables have already been divided into positions according to the rank of courtiers and men and women. One table can only seat two or three people, and if it is crowded, one or two more people can be added.
There can't be more. Therefore, for ordinary courtiers, male guests, and female family members, only three or four people each come to avoid the embarrassing situation of not being able to seat at the same table.
The only female member of the Zhenbei Palace is Princess Zhenbei, so it would be more spacious for her and Jiang You to share the table.
Nan Rongzhi originally wanted to ridicule Jiang You for being just a little concubine, but she didn't expect Princess Zhenbei to be so protective of Jiang You. She was also very disgusted with Princess Zhenbei, but who made Princess Zhenbei Su Yan's mother?
What? She likes Su Yan and wants to marry Su Yan. If this comes true, she will be under the same roof every day...
Nan Rongzhi thought like this, naturally she didn't want to offend Princess Zhenbei.
She glared at Jiang You, turned to Princess Zhenbei, and said in a gentle voice: "Princess, please don't be angry. I just want to remind the princess not to be deceived by this scheming Miss Six. I still have something to do, so I'll break up first."
The princess said goodbye."
She didn't want to argue with Princess Zhenbei anymore, so she left in a hurry after saying this.
Princess Zhenbei watched Nan Rongzhi leave with a dark expression on her face. She turned to Jiang You and said, "Don't take her words to heart. Ayan doesn't care about her at all."
"I know." Jiang You smiled. She knew about this in her previous life.
She was very happy that when she returned to this life, she helped Su Yan get rid of the fate of his family being destroyed. At least now, King Zhenbei and Princess Zhenbei are both well, and Prince Zhenbei's palace is also well, which is more important than anything else.
"Let's take a seat first. It's almost time." Princess Zhenbei took Jiang You to find the location of Prince Zhenbei's palace.
The central venue also has separate seats for men and women. In the middle is a high stage. The queen mother, emperor and concubines are all located closest to the stage. Behind the stage are the princes and princesses. On the left and right sides of the stage are
There are seats for male guests and female dependents, and in front of the stage is a main road that extends continuously, which also separates the outfield into male guests and female dependents. From those seats far away from the outfield, the excitement on the stage can hardly be seen.
After Princess Zhenbei and Jiang You sat down, they also talked for a while. Later, they saw the male guests on the opposite side of the stage starting to enter. Su Yan and King Zhenbei sat in the first row opposite, very conspicuous.
Jiang You and Princess Zhenbei saw the seats at a glance, but due to the fact that men and women were seated separately, it was not easy for them to sit together.
After everyone was seated, the eunuch shouted: "The emperor is here, the queen is here, all the queens are here!"
Accompanied by such a voice, the emperor led the queen, the concubine and several concubines into the hall.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
"The empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
And all the people who were sitting on the ground stood up straight, lowered their heads, and respectfully saluted the nobles who entered the room.
The emperor led the queen and concubines to the main seat on the stage and took their seats. Then he raised his hand and said: "Everyone, please get down."
The emperor's face was filled with joy and he said to the eunuch chief next to him: "Please invite the Queen Mother to enter!"
The chief eunuch received the order and shouted to the front: "The Queen Mother is here!"
Afterwards, the Queen Mother entered the scene surrounded by all the palace people.
"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old."
Everyone stood up again and saluted the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother arrived at the throne, the Emperor personally stood up to greet her and helped the Queen Mother sit down.
The Queen Mother looked at the emperor, nodded and said, "Thank you, Emperor."
"The Queen Mother's words are obvious. This is what you should do for the Son of Man. On weekdays, I don't have time to pay filial piety to you. Today, I will also entertain you." The emperor had a smile in his eyes and his words were full of joy.
It's sincerity.
The Queen Mother sat down, raised her hands and said to everyone: "You are all excused."
The Queen Mother looked energetic, her hair was all black, not a bit gray. Although her face was a little weathered, she still looked bright and beautiful. As she sat there, her demeanor surpassed even that of the Queen. In fact,
The Queen Mother is only about ten years older than the current emperor. Over the years, the Queen Mother does not have to worry about anything. Her mentality is getting better and better, and she looks younger.
After everyone entered the venue and the emperor said a few symbolic words, the next step was the birthday gift ceremony that everyone was looking forward to!
