Emperor Xuanren reigned for more than ten years, during which time he celebrated the Queen Mother's sixtieth birthday and his fortieth birthday. For ordinary birthdays, the officials in the imperial city would send simple gifts and then hold a "family banquet". Only

With the participation of the royal family and relatives, it was even easier for the Queen Mother. It was an out-and-out family banquet. With these two leading by example, the people below would naturally not dare to organize it in a big way.

This year's situation is particularly different, which naturally attracts a lot of attention.

It is a rare occasion that today's Qi Dynasty is such that the country is rich and the people are strong, and no one talks about luxury. Of course, it is hard to say whether there are some things in this birthday gift that Emperor Xuanren will remember.

This kind of liveliness has reduced the impact of the things caused by Pingyang Hou before. If you haven't met the person involved, you will forget about it after talking about it. But if you meet the person involved, it is hard to say whether the old story will be brought up again. Really

If someone arranged it, Xiaocao would be the most affected, but now she is focused on Wei Tingyu's condition. During this period, she did not attend the banquets held by various families. At this time, Han did not

Let her participate.

On the first two days of the Empress Dowager's seventieth birthday, the bustle outside the imperial city basically calmed down.

Most of the courtiers in the imperial city have already sent birthday gifts to the palace. Those who will give birthday gifts on the birthday day are naturally the royal people. The time specially set aside is not just to give them the opportunity to please and behave. Come on.

A kind word from the Queen Mother might bring more benefits than directly pleasing Emperor Xuanren himself.

A seventieth birthday is extraordinary. The range of people who can participate in the palace banquet has expanded a lot. Officials of fifth rank and above and their family members can enter the palace. In fact, the number of people who can eventually enter the palace will increase. After all, those who can

Entering the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother is a great honor in itself. Those who are not qualified will naturally be brought in by those who are qualified. It is strange that there are not many such people.

Of course, not everyone is like this. There are also some people who don't care very much. It doesn't matter whether they enter the palace or not. Not everyone will yearn for that gorgeous palace wall.

Just like the entire Wenren family, the people in the first three bedrooms and the old lady can enter the palace. Even though the old lady's body is much better, she doesn't want to move. Her husband is dead, but she still has the imperial decree, but it's because of her son.

He was not among the group of people who had to enter the palace, so he naturally did not join in the fun.

Another person who had this idea was Wen Renyang. He had always been incompatible with the excitement. He couldn't just find a place to read in the palace.

Although the second wife, Mrs. Du, has been out and about from time to time, she has lived in seclusion for these years and does not want to acknowledge those "old friends" from the past, so she asked Wenrenxi to follow him into the palace generously and let her youngest daughter stay at home with her.

There are also many people in the third room, so naturally not all of them can enter the palace. They need to be selected. Those who are left behind may be unwilling to do so, but they have known it for a long time.

People who take it lightly don't take it seriously.

However, not everyone thinks so and knows how to adjust their mental state. For example, Wen Renxiang was almost crazy about entering the palace, but he had no chance. Seeing his family preparing clothes and jewelry for entering the palace, he wanted to put them away.

The things were snatched away and they were replaced with their own bodies.

Originally, Zhang Junliang's original wedding date was before the Queen Mother Qianqiu. However, maybe he didn't want such an embarrassing person to enter the palace to pay her birthday to the Queen Mother, so the wedding date was postponed unexpectedly. You know, at first, Zhang Junliang

My wife refuses to change the wedding date.

Zhang Junliang is the grandnephew of the Queen Mother, so all members of the Zhang family must enter the palace. If Zhang Junliang marries Wen Renxiang but does not bring her into the palace, it would be too deliberate. You know, Wen Renxiang is

Zhang Junliang's "savior" was still shameful to the Zhang family, but Wen Renxiang would only lose face and simply postpone the wedding.

He was busy with Xiaocao's affairs before. After receiving the Zhang family's request, Han didn't take it seriously. Anyway, the marriage has been confirmed, so it's a little late. What's the big deal? After all, Wenren's family didn't care about Wenren in the first place.

Xiang's wedding was deliberately prepared. Even if he married into a high-ranking family, the dowry would still be the same. Don't expect Han to add anything else. He didn't even prepare a post about the wedding banquet, so it didn't matter if he postponed it a little. - Of course,

If Mrs. Zhang wants to drag it out forever, or even delay the marriage, it is impossible.

Wen Renxiang didn't know how many handkerchiefs she had torn to pieces, but she could only use these easily damaged things to vent her anger, and there weren't many other things in her house for her to vent her anger on.

However, Wen Renxiang doesn't even want to see the people around her now. The other people in the family don't take her seriously at all. Seeing that she is still well-behaved, they don't lock her in the yard.

, if she does something a little too extreme, it probably won't be as simple as being grounded. Fortunately, Wen Renxiang is not that stupid yet.

Speaking of which, Xiaocao didn't really want to enter the palace. However, Han shook his head and said no. She had registered in front of the Queen Mother. It would not be good if the Queen Mother asked but she was not there.

Mo Ke could do nothing, Xiaocao was dressed up from head to toe by Han again. Of course, Wen Renying was also treated in the same way. Xiaocao really felt that it was such a waste. It wasn't like she didn't have clothes to wear. This was specially prepared, basically.

That is to say, I only wear it once, and there will be no next time.

In fact, not only they are like this, but almost everyone in the entire imperial city who can enter the palace is like this, especially the girls. Therefore, during this period, the various gold and silver jewelry buildings, various silk and satin shops, and various

The rouge and gouache shop is doing booming business.

Among the busy people, Concubine Kou may be the first to bear the brunt. Not only is the business here busy, but many girls and young women also want to have beautiful makeup and beautiful nails, although others can't.

Yes, but in the end I still trust Concubine Kou more.

Therefore, everyone wants her to design it, do it again, and let the maid practice it again and again, and strive to achieve perfection when entering the palace.

It wasn't obvious in the past, but when she actually came to visit, Concubine Kou realized that there were quite a few people he couldn't refuse.

For example, princesses, princesses, county heads and others who were born in the royal family, or those princesses with their sisters and others from their natal families, these obviously cannot be postponed, so that they are so busy that at night, they can only

I wanted to go to bed quickly, but naturally even King Heng was "left out" invisibly.

She might as well have almost finished her medicine, so you don't have to wait for that man for the rest of the night. However, obviously being so busy is not very conducive to her health. She is still wondering in her mind whether she should take advantage of the Queen Mother's longevity to find an opportunity this time.

She asked Miss Wenren to take her pulse. Although she had not consulted the imperial doctor while taking the medicine, the previous "incompetence" of the imperial doctor made her less trusting.

On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, Xiaocao was dressed up just like Wen Renying. The styles of the two sisters are very different. The elder sister is quiet and elegant, and the younger sister is delicate and bright. It's good to be a mother and wait for me.

It highlights their characteristics.

In addition, there were two and three-bedroom girls, all of whom were very beautiful and pleasing to the eye. They talked and laughed together, walked out of the door hand in hand, and boarded the carriage.

Wen Renxiang was watching not far behind them, his eyes were red with jealousy, but he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything or not daring to do anything.

In this June day, it is natural to have a fan in your hand, and even an ice basin is placed on the carriage. However, after the beginning of summer, Xiaocao deliberately made some prescriptions. At least people who suffered from the bitter summer in previous years had a lot better life.

.

There is a long queue outside the palace gate. After all, this palace is more rigorous than other places, and there is no room for any mistakes.

If you are used to such a scene, you can naturally find something to pass the time. Xiaocao even prepared a book for herself.

When Zhen Muyao came to the door, Xiaocao was a little surprised. According to the status of the Jian family, they should be relatively close to the front. "Muyao, did you not go in? Or is it not the Jian family's turn?"

"It's not my turn yet, it's almost here. But I told my family that I'm coming to the palace with you. You sisters won't dislike me, right?" Zhen Muyao smiled and waved to the others.

Zhen Muyao's status, and when he heard that Ren Joke had said something disgusting, he hurriedly moved his position and let her get on the carriage.

Zhen Muchao was not polite, he turned over rather boldly, and sat directly next to Xiaocao. Seeing the book in Xiaocao's hand, he pulled it over and glanced at the book, "Sister Xuan, do you want to work so hard?"

?”

Xiaocao smiled and said nothing.

Then, the carriage basically became Zhen Muyao's home court. Of course, she was not a stick person, so she would not embarrass the other girls from Wenren's family. She could say some witty words, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.

In this way, time passed unknowingly, and it was Wenren's turn to enter the palace. Xiaocao and Zhen Muchao were closer inside. The other girls went down first, and they had to use a footstool. Zhen Muchao jumped down directly.

, she really didn't look like a lady, but she raised her hand in a decent manner, looked at Xiaocao with a smile, and showed a "willing to serve her" attitude.

What can we do about this stubborn temper that still refuses to change after getting married? As a friend, Xiaocao certainly won't force her to change her temper. He raised an eyebrow and put his hand on her wrist. He was quite cooperative, but...

When Xiaocao came down and was about to let go, he suddenly tightened his grip and pressed his fingers directly on her pulse.

Zhen Muyao blinked and looked at Xiaocao's expression, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my body?"

Xiaocao patted her and said, "Okay, what are you talking about?"

Zhen Muchao felt a little innocent and aggrieved, "Sister Xuan, you changed your face first. You are a miracle doctor. This change of face will make people wonder if something is wrong."

Hearing what she said, other people in the Wen family also looked over. Zhen Muchao's words did make some sense.

Xiaocao rolled her eyes inconspicuously, "If you have to think of the worst, it can't be a good thing?"

"A good thing?" Zhen Muchao was confused and didn't realize what good thing could happen.

However, Han and others couldn't help but cast their eyes on Zhen Muyao's belly, and smiled unconsciously. The meaning of new life was naturally a great good thing.

Zhen Muchao was looked at by them, and then he finally reacted belatedly, placing his hand on his lower abdomen in disbelief, "Sister Xuan, you mean, I have it?"

Xiaocao was a little amused, "What's the matter, you still can't trust me?" Xiaocao was 100% sure that Zhen Muchao had a baby in her belly.

"No, of course I can't believe Sister Xuan. It's just that I left when I was a child." So, it's not surprising that Zhen Muchao doesn't believe her.

"It's not strange. A few people have this situation in the first month, and some people may have similar problems in the first three months. So, I can tell you with certainty that you are going to be a mother."

Zhen Muyao showed an expression of surprise, carefully touched his belly, and looked down. He still didn't dare to suffocate, but then he felt a little uneasy, "I jumped up and down like this before, will it..."

Xiaocao was amused, "You know how to be nervous now? Don't worry, you are in good health and don't need to be too nervous. However, you do need to pay more attention in the future."

To be honest, Zhen Muyao has only been married for more than two months. Ning Bu is in a hurry to ask for a child. She has not even thought about it. It has already hit her. For her, she was even a little unprepared.

, but, as I said, it was a good thing, a great thing, so I took Xiaocao and started asking about the pregnancy.

"Are you sure you want to say it here?" Xiaocao raised her chin and asked her to look around.

Hearing that they were now blocking the road, although no one urged them, people behind them couldn't help but look over.

Zhen Muyao was a little embarrassed now, so she followed him into the palace first, and still didn't bite Xiaocao's ears along the way. She couldn't help it, she was excited and nervous now.

Xiaocao lowered her voice, "Did your mother put a gynecological manual on the bottom of your box? Didn't you read it carefully?"

Zhen Muchao was a little embarrassed. Can she say that she was really impatient to read? She just flipped through a few pages of the gynecology manual. Speaking of which, she had finished reading the simple book. She didn't think anything of it, but let the maid

They are speechless.

"The entire pregnancy period is basically written in the book. You can take a look at it yourself when you get back. If you still have any questions, I will talk to you in detail later."

Zhen Muchao nodded, then held Xiaocao in his arms and rubbed his head against the side of her face, which was unusual for him, "Oh, it's such a blessing to know Sister Xuan." This most important thing can be done easily.

's solved.

The closeness between them attracted a lot of attention from others. To be honest, Zhen Muyao was from a good family background, had an arrogant temperament, and was also partial to men. One day, he behaved like a coquettish girl towards someone who was also a girl. It was really annoying.

What a surprise.

He went directly to the Queen Mother's Palace and met Mrs. Zhen outside. Naturally, he told her the good news immediately.
