"Princess Pingjun, I haven't seen you for many days. You are getting younger and younger." It was the wife of General Qi who spoke.
"Mrs. Qi is joking, how can anyone get younger as they live?" Princess Li Lian of Ping County touched her face and replied with a smile.
"My wife agrees with what Mrs. Qi said. If Princess Pingjun has any secret skin care secrets, why not teach them to us and try them too." Vice General Chen's wife also flattered her.
While they were chatting, the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the palace...
"The Queen Mother has arrived, the Xianfei has arrived."
"I see the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, and the Concubine Xian is a thousand years old." Everyone knelt down and said.
"Ping Shen." Jiang Yuzhen said.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"There is no need for you to be polite. Your Majesty is hosting a banquet today for you to meet the righteous daughter of the Ai family, Princess Xiaoyao, and Princess Anping. You don't need to be so formal," Jiang Yuzhen said.
"The adopted daughter who can become the Queen Mother must be extraordinary." Shangguan Phantom flattered her.
"Haha, isn't it? The Queen Mother really likes this Princess Xiaoyao." Although the virtuous concubine Li Menglu was unhappy, she still said with a smile.
"Well, the Ai family does like her. Speaking of which, Princess Xiaoyao and Princess Anping are as old as Princess Pingping. Maybe you can become friends." Jiang Yuzhen said jokingly.
"The Queen Mother, it would be an honor for me to become friends with the princesses." Shangguan Phantom said with a smile.
"The emperor has arrived, the prince has arrived." The eunuch's sharp voice came from outside again.
"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty. May you live a thousand years, your Majesty." Everyone knelt down in unison.
"My concubine is here to see you, Your Majesty. It is auspicious for Your Majesty." Li Menglu said with a soft and frail look.
Today, in order to attract the emperor's attention, she specially wore a very colorful palace dress, with heavy makeup on her face, and a beauty mark in the center of her forehead.
"Get on your feet, the queen has arrived so early." Long Lihui didn't even look at her and said over her shoulder.
"Well, the Ai family came here as they had nothing to do."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I was too bored to see the Queen Mother alone, so I came here with her first."
Li Menglu saw that the emperor didn't even look at her. Although she was very unconvinced, she suppressed it and looked for opportunities to attract the emperor's attention again.
"Hey, why haven't Princess Xiaoyao and Princess Anping arrived yet? They are the protagonists today."
Long Lixuan saw that Long Lihui didn't want to talk to Li Menglu, so he deliberately changed the topic.
"Yes, the banquet is about to start, why haven't they come yet?" Long Lihui also said.
"Your Majesty, please give them more time. After all, they are girls and they have to dress up." Li Menglu seizes the opportunity to say without giving up.
"What Concubine Xian said makes sense. Your Majesty, it's better to sit down and wait." Jiang Yuzhen said with a smile.
"Well, let's go see how Princess Xiaoyao and Princess Anping are dressed up." Long Lihui sat down and said to the eunuch behind him.
"It's your Majesty, I'll go right away." After Xiao Dezi said that, he turned around and was about to leave when a voice came from outside.
"Princess Xiaoyao has arrived, Princess Anping has arrived."
"I see the princess, she is a thousand years old, she is a thousand years old. She is a princess, she is a thousand years old, she is a thousand years old." Everyone knelt down and said.
"Everyone, please get up. There is no need to be polite." Nangong Meiwu said calmly.
Alas, I really don’t like this kind of scene. Besides kneeling, I still kneel...
