In the palace and the royal garden, preparations for singing and dancing are taking place at the moment.
After Zhao Yanxun entered the palace, the entire harem was monotonous and calm, even a little dull.
Being in this state for a long time, Zhao Yanxun felt that it was nothing, just because he had too many things to do, which distracted his attention.
But the women in the harem couldn't bear it, and finally had today's banquet at Xue Baoyun's suggestion.
As the initiator, Xue Baojun not only invigorated the atmosphere, but also showed his status as the master of the harem.
In order to maintain Xue Baoyun's authority, after receiving the invitation, Zhao Yanxun sent Huo An to reply and said that he would definitely come to participate.
This made Xue Baoyun very happy, but at the same time she felt depressed because there was no response from Concubine Duan.
After learning about this, Zhao Yanxun and Xue Baoyun appeared in person at Xianfu Palace.
On both sides of the Xianfu Palace gate, the eunuchs and maids knelt on the ground, their heads lowered when Zhao Yanxun passed by.
Although he comes to Xianfu Palace to say hello every day, Xue Baoyun always feels uncomfortable every time he walks in here, all because of the mother-in-law in the palace.
Walking forward slowly, Zhao Yanxun said softly: "You... don't be frightened all day long. You are a lonely princess first, and then the daughter-in-law of the mother-in-law!"
To be honest, these words are a bit rebellious in the current world, but Xue Baoyun felt particularly reassured when he heard them.
"My lord, please don't think too much, I am not worried at all!" Xue Baojun smiled.
Stopping, Zhao Yanxun smiled and said: "That's good!"
It is not good to say that this kind of thing is too clear. Xue Baoyun understood the general situation so well that Zhao Yanxun was really satisfied.
When they walked into the palace gate, they saw Zhang Fengxiu coming out with a warm smile on his face.
"I have met the prince and the princess!"
Zhao Yanxun nodded and walked into the palace without saying anything else.
"Princess please!"
Zhang Fengxiu was extremely humble, but in Xue Baoyun's heart, she was very wary of her.
This woman fawned over Concubine Duan and played many tricks to please Zhao Yanxun. At first glance, she was not a peaceful person.
"Sister, thank you for taking care of my mother-in-law!"
"The princess is joking. It's all because of the love and protection of the empress that I have the opportunity to serve you. It's too late for me to be happy, so why bother talking about hard work!"
Hearing this, Xue Baoyun just smiled and walked into the main hall.
In the small Buddhist hall in the side hall of Xianfu Palace, Concubine Duan was chanting sutras, and the sound of wooden fish sounded rhythmically.
"Mother concubine, mother concubine..."
Seeing that Concubine Duan didn't respond, Zhao Yanxun called directly from outside the door.
This is extremely rude, and he is the only one in the world who dares to do this.
The sound of the wooden fish stopped, and Concubine Duan slowly turned around and asked with an unhappy look on her face: "Why are you disturbing me?"
Zhao Yanxun laughed twice, then walked into the Buddhist hall, signaled the maid next to him to bring a futon, and then sat next to Concubine Duan.
"The princess is going to have a banquet in the Royal Garden, and she wants to invite her mother and concubine to come with her to have fun. Now that the banquet is about to start... my son will come with the princess and invite his mother and concubine to go to the Royal Garden with him!"
Glancing at Zhao Yanxun, Concubine Duan smiled and said, "You are quite affectionate!"
Zhao Yanxun smiled and replied: "What my mother and concubine said... my son doesn't understand!"
Seeing that Concubine Duan was about to get up from the futon, Zhao Yanxun immediately stood up and helped her.
After standing up, Concubine Duan turned around and saw Xue Baoyun outside the Buddhist hall.
Sighing, Concubine Duan said slowly: "You come to invite me in person. If I refuse to go, I'm afraid I'll hurt your hearts!"
This is tantamount to saying that even if I agreed to go, I didn't go willingly, but I didn't want to hurt some people's hearts.
Glancing at Xue Baoyun, Zhao Yanxun said: "If the mother-in-law doesn't go, she feels that the princess's plan is flawed, and her son will definitely scold her when she goes back!"
Concubine Duan said immediately: "No, if you reprimand her, won't people say I'm mean?"
But the fact is that even if Zhao Yanxun did not scold Xue Baoyun, the world still thought that Concubine Duan was cruel and vicious, which was much more serious than being mean.
"I was busy reciting sutras just now, so I forgot to ask anyone to reply. Since it is a banquet in the harem, how can I not go?"
Having said this, Concubine Duan smiled more and more warmly on her face and said, "Let's go... I have long been thinking about the excitement!"
The sons came in person and defended the princess so much that even if Concubine Duan was dissatisfied with Xue Baoyun, she could only attend in order to save face.
After the matter was done, Zhao Yanxun said to Xue Baoyun: "Princess, why don't you hurry up and serve your mother to change clothes!"
"yes!"
After entering the Buddhist hall, Xue Baojun helped Concubine Duan leave, and the two chatted. The scene seemed extremely harmonious.
But after the two people left, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but sigh. Dealing with this kind of thing was really tiring for him.
The next moment, Zhang Fengxiu came over with a tea cup and said in a soft voice: "Your Highness, please drink tea!"
As a result of the tea cup, Zhao Yanxun asked: "Why don't you serve the mother-in-law?"
Zhang Fengxiu approached Zhao Yanxun, arranged his clothes, and said in an increasingly coquettish tone: "The princess has thought carefully, I'm afraid it will cause trouble if I go away!"
Looking at the busy girl in front of him, Zhao Yanxun stretched out his hand to pinch her pretty face and said with a smile: "You have a clever mouth!"
"Your Majesty~"
Ten minutes later, Concubine Duan changed her robe and, accompanied by Zhao Yanxun, took a carriage to the back garden.
In the back garden, Lin Jingyu, Huang Rongrong and others had already arrived early.
When they learned that Zhao Yanxun and his party were coming, they all came to the door to greet them.
The chariot sedan stopped outside the imperial garden, and with the help of Zhao Yanxun, Concubine Duan stepped out of the chariot sedan.
"Wish you happiness and prosperity!"
Looking at the girls, Concubine Duan smiled warmly and said, "No courtesy!"
Immediately afterwards, the ladies came to greet Zhao Yanxun, and then Xue Baoyun as the princess.
After a brief ceremony, everyone entered the Imperial Garden.
On the garden stage, there are already dancers waiting, and the musicians on both sides are ready.
Seeing Zhao Yanxun and others entering the garden, the musicians began to play music, and peaceful music rang out, making the place feel like a heavenly palace.
Arriving at the middle position, Zhao Yanxun personally pulled out a chair and said, "Concubine, please take a seat!"
When Concubine Duan sat down, Zhao Yanxun sat on Concubine Duan's left side, while Xue Baoyun sat on her right.
Such an arrangement resulted in Lin Jingyu sitting next to Zhao Yanxun, and Huang Rongrong sitting next to Xue Baoyun.
It was a rare time to relax like this. When everyone sat down one after another, Zhao Yanxun immediately said: "Let them start!"
Naturally, his words were the loudest, so the song and dance performance began, and the atmosphere gradually became warm and gradually reached a climax.
The purpose of the banquet was to deepen the relationship. After Zhao Yanxun personally toasted, the women in his harem all raised their glasses and spoke auspicious words to him and Concubine Duan.
Compared with Zhao Yanxun's vernacular during his toast, these ladies from wealthy families spoke with both talent and elegance, making them lively and beautiful.
Unlike the others who were joking and joking, Lin Jingyu next to Zhao Yanxun was very quiet, but she saw her holding up the wine glass and said: "Your Majesty, I would also like to toast you a glass!"
Picking up the wine glass, Zhao Yanxun said boldly: "This is rare, you must drink this glass!"
While the two were drinking, an eunuch hurriedly walked into the imperial garden and waved to Huo An, who was serving beside Zhao Yanxun.
Huo An immediately walked down and asked what happened.
After listening to the eunuch's story, Huo An smiled brightly and finally said: "Okay... this news is great!"
After saying that, Huo An quickly walked to the stage and appeared behind Zhao Yanxun.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
Listening to Huo An's story, Zhao Yanxun smiled even more and finally shouted the word "good".
