This banquet was arranged by the Emperor personally. No matter how unwilling the Queen Mother Party was, they could not miss it.
The most lively thing was that even the eldest princess and Fu Ma came back to the palace to wish Moyan birthday.
The Queen Mother and Li Yan were the last to arrive
Emperor Xuanguang asked with concern: "Mother, are you feeling unwell?"
The Queen Mother stroked her head and said, "Aijia has a headache today."
Li Yanxiao: "I advised the Queen Mother not to come, but the Queen Mother insisted on coming."
The banquet will be held in Changyin Pavilion
All the concubines, from the princes and princesses to the concubines of the ministers, were all present. The return of the queen and the grand birthday banquet arranged by the emperor. They were smart enough to guess something from this, and they did not dare not to come.
Mo Yan said guiltily: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have worked so hard."
The Queen Mother glanced at her lightly: "There is nothing serious about the Ai family. What is rare is that the Queen also understands what it means to mobilize people and mobilize people."
There was a hint of blame in his tone.
She silently blamed herself and said: "I am my concubine..."
"Mother, it's none of the queen's business. On my southern tour this time, I found that the people are living a prosperous life, and there are not as many natural and man-made disasters as there used to be. I feel very happy, and I am taking advantage of the queen's birthday to come and have fun with everyone."
Emperor Xuanguang calmly interrupted Mo Yan's words.
After looking at her, there is no need to apologize to the Queen Mother. If you don't like someone, you will not like anything you do, just like the Queen Mother treats her now.
Everyone sat down
The banquet has begun
Everyone silently blessed...
By the time it was over, Mo Yan was already a little tired from laughing.
Then Emperor Xuanguang smiled: "Mother, since the Queen is back, should this Phoenix Seal be returned to its original owner?"
Li Yan's face stiffened. She didn't expect that the emperor would bring up the matter at this time. Even the Queen Mother was caught off guard.
Just listen to Emperor Xuanguang say leisurely: "The head of the Sixth Palace is here. The affairs of the harem will be handed over to the palace, and Concubine Li will assist the queen. This is the right thing to do, right, Queen Mother?"
Mo Yan was also a little stunned, and then smiled. This was his birthday gift to himself. It was really precious.
The Queen Mother sounded a little unhappy: "Does the Emperor insist on talking about this today?"
Li Yan also smiled and said: "Today is the Queen's birthday. Your Majesty, why not wait for another day? There is no point in letting the Queen worry about the harem as soon as she returns to the palace."
Emperor Xuanguang's expression became even lighter: "Mother, today is the Queen's birthday, and the phoenix seal is the gift I promised to give to her. Queen, will you not fail to fulfill me?"
The Queen Mother's face looks ugly
Emperor Xuanguang said again: "Queen Mother, the person I respect the most is you. If you disagree, I will pretend that I have never said anything."
Retreat to advance
In front of so many people, how could the Queen Mother bear to touch her biological son? She said: "How can I take back what I said? How come the Ai family will not help the emperor, but the Phoenix Seal is now in the hands of Concubine Li!"
Emperor Xuanguang smiled slightly at Li Yan: "My beloved concubine, I would like to trouble you and the palace servants to go back and bring the phoenix seal over. The queen must be very satisfied with your kindness."
A trace of resentment flashed in Li Yan's eyes. She lowered her eyes to hide the expression in her eyes and smiled: "I understand, I understand."
A few words of understatement settled everything
She is not willing to give in!
But what if you are unwilling?
The queen is always the queen and the concubine is always the concubine
