Jiang Bilan was full of confidence and thought she was doing the way for heaven, but Lotus felt it was inappropriate. If her master had evidence, she would just say nothing about it now. If she rashly arranged to catch the evildoer, the risk would be too great. If she failed, she would be afraid that the imperial concubine would push her out to the tank.

He Hua thought of having fun with the Empress Dowager first. If the Empress Dowager did not agree and scolded the imperial concubine himself, the matter would be left unresolved. If the Empress Dowager acquiesced, if the matter is revealed in the future, there would be a way out.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at Ningshou Palace, no one had time to see her. It turned out that the Empress Dowager was busy assigning dowry for Princess Yilin recently, so she didn't have time to talk to a servant.

The lotus was unable to do so, so he had to go to Pixiang Palace to find Concubine Jiang. Although the imperial concubine and Concubine Shu had some rift when they were at home, it was because of the eldest lady. Concubine did not treat this sister at all, and Concubine Shu was also polite to her.

It would be great if Concubine Shu could help persuade her.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yingyue frowned slightly and said, "You don't know my sister's temper. How can I persuade her? As long as I blame me for being troubled, we sisters will be separated and you will be even more invulnerable."

Lotus lowered his head and sighed, Alas, it would be great if the imperial concubine was as reasonable as Shufei. It would be difficult to be the subordinate!

Jiang Yingyue smiled and said, "I think, let my sister let go. If she can really defeat Xia Zhaoyi in one fell swoop, it would be a good thing. Didn't my sister always want to have her own child? If something happened to Xia Zhaoyi, the child will naturally belong to her. Isn't it much better than begging Your Majesty to beg for you?"

The reason is this, but Lotus always feels that it is not that easy. If there is a little mistake at that time, what should she do as the concubine’s personal maid?

Jiang Yingyue reminded her casually, "It's better to do this. Don't mention any of them after you go back, so as not to let your sister vent their anger. But what she has done during this period of time? You should stare at everyone, and come to report to me in a scattered manner. If something really happens, I will help you to help me relieve the situation. What do you think?"

The lotus was moved, but the concubine Shu was considerate. No wonder the master wanted to send the second lady to the palace, which made it true.

She kowtowed three times before she turned around happily.

The Wanneng Festival is coming soon. Although it has already fallen, the weather is still a bit hot, so the birthday party is still held in Huanyue Pavilion in the middle of the lake.

As a pillow, Xia Tong’s gifts were given the earliest. Private items such as sachets and fan pendants should not be taken out in public, but it is more appropriate to give them now.

Liu Zhang looked at the slightly rough stitches, but his face was very satisfied - it was indeed Xia Tong who did it himself, without any adulteration.

Xia Tong also showed him a few thin calluses on his fingers, "Look, your hands are getting thick!"

When Liu Zhang received the gift, he was so happy that he expressed his thoughts, "Okay, my Tongtong is burdened. I will repay you next time on your birthday. Let's make you a piece of clothes?"

Xia Tong:...

He dared to do it but she didn't dare to wear it. Is it sure that the emperor's craftsmanship visible? Unless it is the most fabric-saving three-point style.

Liu Zhang did not think that the purse was ugly and hung it to his waist without any obstacles. As for the fan pendant, Xia Tong chose a delicate turquoise, grinding it into a semicircular arc, and her hand-woven ears were hung on it on it - this one is easier than a sachet. Several different colors of silk threads are combined into a thread, and then it is fine to tie it with braids.

Unfortunately, the emperor did not have the habit of wearing fans on weekdays. He thought it was frivolous and not solemn enough, so he could only pretend to be a famous scholar in private and treat it as the joy of the boudoir.

Although today is Liu Zhang's day, he refused to give himself a vacation and still went to court as usual. Anyway, the banquet could not be delayed at night.

After Xia Tong saw the emperor away, he sent someone to inquire about what gifts the palace masters would give and what clothes they would wear tonight.

After all, it is not scary to wear the same clothes, and whoever is ugly is embarrassing.

Chunlan smiled and said, "Empress, have you forgotten? The most powerful person in the palace is our Guanju Palace. They are still afraid of wearing the same clothes as you. Why are you afraid of them coming?"

Xia Tong thought it was true, and she felt that the proletariat was used to being a nouveau riche and suddenly entered the ranks of nouveau riche. She was really uncomfortable.

But others don’t mind. Princess Yilin should be careful on the other end, so as not to be suspected that she wants her two daughters to compete for her husband. To be honest, this princess is the only one who treats Cheng Yao as a treasure.

Fortunately, Princess Yilin's tone was not tight, and soon everyone in the palace knew that she was going to wear red - she was just writing the word "hate to marry" on her face.

Xia Tong breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't wear the red ones at a time, so she asked Chunlan to find a soft apricot robe, which not only made the joy and lively today, but also the wind on the lake was strong, so she could not catch a cold and get cold.

The banquet in the palace has always been held late, and the master and servant used some pastries to cushion their stomachs first to avoid eating them in public. This is also a common skill in the palace.

As it was almost time, Xia Tong led the maid Niao Niao Tingting out. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or waiting for the rabbit, but as soon as I walked to the water pavilion, I found that Cheng Yao was standing in front of the door.

Because Xia Tong was holding Dun Dun in her arms, Cheng Yao was afraid that the little boy would urinate again, so he did not dare to approach him, but just greeted him from afar, "Empress Zhaoyi."

Xia Tong nodded to him with a smile, "Mr. Cheng."

She hasn't called Cousin Cheng Yao for a long time. This is naturally a hint of intentional alienation in her opinion, but for Cheng Yao it was deliberately making a move - if it weren't for a ghost in her heart, why would she avoid suspicion everywhere?

Just as we were about to take the opportunity to chat about family matters, Feng Yuzhen walked up like a fairy in the flying fairy bun, "Sister Zhaoyi, why are you standing in the wind? Let's go in quickly."

As he spoke, the Qiubo glanced at Cheng Yao gently. Even if the guards present looked at him, they would inevitably be moved and could not help themselves.

Cheng Yao was also stunned for a moment, until he heard Princess Yilin's slight cough that he woke up.

Princess Yilin looked at the two of them with dissatisfaction, one was the ex of her future husband, and the other was the suspected ambiguous partner of her future husband. Of course, she didn't believe that Cheng Yao would go out to have sex with her, and she only felt that these little sluts were so frivolous that they were specialized in coveting other people's men.

She did not dare to accuse Xia Tong, but showed no mercy to Feng Yuzhen. "Beauty Feng is rarely allowed to enter the palace. Even if she cannot share her father's worries, don't humiliate the reputation of the family and do things that are inappropriate."

Feng Yuzhen really wanted to go up and confront this elder sister. It was your husband who was willing to be seduced and he couldn't control his husband. What's the use of venting anger with her?

Xia Tong gently pinched her to make her pay attention to her words and deeds and never be impulsive.

Feng Yuzhen finally endured it when she remembered that it was the emperor's holy birthday today, but she was also secretly annoyed. She didn't want to see the stupid princess jump into the fire pit, but now she thinks it's better for the two to get married. Then she takes out the letters, which would be a pleasure. Thinking about Princess Yilin's appearance of crying and tears, Feng Yuzhen felt that every pore in her body was stretched out.

Oh, she forgot that fairies have no pores.

The order in the hall has been arranged long ago. The empress dowager and the emperor live in the upper hand, while Xia Tong and Princess Yilin live on both sides. This is normal. One is the emperor's elder sister, and the other has given birth to the eldest son.

No objection to each other on the court, even Jiang Bilan was like this. Xia Tong couldn't help but wonder. The empress was extremely kind today. Could it be that she finally figured it out and no longer had to worry about competing for favor?

Jiang Yingyue did not come. When her sister was there, she never stole the limelight from her legitimate sister-in-law - although Jiang Bilan was not dressed very brightly today.

After a while, the emperor supported the empress dowager and everyone saluted. Xia Tongyi held the child and stood up to greet her. Liu Zhang's sleeve gently brushed across her shoulders, "If you take care of Dundu, you don't have to be polite."

The emperor's grace is so great that he will naturally bear it. Xia Tong smiled and said that.

Jin Jinna saw it and asked her husband curiously, "Is this the deep love between husband and wife that people in the Central Plains often say?"

She was used to having a thick voice, and she never deliberately suppressed her voice even at the banquet.

Xia Tong rarely showed a little embarrassment, which was really a bit out of line.

What’s amazing is that Concubine Jiang, who is most qualified to blame, did not say a word, but instead quietly showed her god, as if she was thinking about something - today is a wonderful day.

Others even had no reaction when they looked at their noses and their hearts. The emperor didn't think they were bad. Didn't they jump out at this time against the emperor?

Only Empress Dowager Jiang said lukewarmly, "If you can't use idioms, don't use them randomly, for fear that others won't see your knowledge and cultivation?"

Xia Tong inexplicably remembered that Mama Rong, who returned to the Condor Heroes, made things difficult for Xiao Yanzi.

Jin Gina is also a bit similar to Xiaoyanzi. She is shameless and heartless, and of course she is not easily injured. She just stuck out her tongue to make some face for her mistakes.

But that's all. Empress Dowager Jiang has never been the queen herself, and her niece is only in the imperial concubine. If she says that being a concubine is not worthy of a husband and wife, wouldn't that be a slap herself in the face?

So I can only go through it vaguely.

Jin Gina kissed her husband and said, "We are always husband and wife?"

Xia Changsong held back his laughter, "Yes, of course."

Among the many guests, the pair were the most incompatible, but they also looked happiest. Xia Tong felt a little emotional, until the emperor gently squeezed her hand, and she also held it back from under the table - well, you can't show your love openly, so it's okay to show it in private.

The seat of Cheng Yao could see clearly, which inevitably made him feel a little jealous. The two families lived in a harmonious and beautiful life, so why did he have to marry an ignorant and stupid woman like Princess Yilin? Although this is the best choice at the moment, as long as he thought that he could have a more glorious life, the little unwillingness in his heart gradually grew.

Princess Yilin didn't feel it, but looked at him sweetly.

Cheng Yao gave her a wink and suggested that she was asking for an official position for herself. If she had first proposed marriage and then awarded an official position, I was afraid that the emperor would use a prince-in-law to pass by it. What Cheng Yao wanted was not such a casual situation.

Princess Yilin hesitated for a moment, but still dared to get up, "Your Majesty..."

Liu Zhang waved his hand and interrupted, "If you have anything to do, I'll mention it later. Sister, drink first."

Someone poured her a big cup.

Princess Yilin:...

Could it be that she has the appetite for drinking a cow?

But before the birthday party was over, it seemed inappropriate to ask for an official position so urgently, so Princess Yilin had to pour herself and drink herself first, intending to find a suitable opportunity before talking about it.

Cheng Yao was a little frustrated and wanted to go out for a break. But a coincidence a boy in front of him accidentally knocked over the wine cup and accused him repeatedly. Cheng Yao took advantage of the situation and stood up, "Why not, can there be a place to change clothes here?"
