Ye Lingyue was a little surprised when the queen mother asked about the queen. She thought that the beautiful woman in the red palace dress was the queen of Daxia.
Although Ye Lingyue is not familiar with the rules in the palace, before entering the palace, Mrs. Lan also taught some basic etiquette, including some taboos that need to be paid attention to during the palace banquet, such as diet, or words and deeds, and even The color of clothing.
Some of them are red, and only queens can wear them at palace banquets.
But this one in front of me...
The beautiful woman in palace attire raised her head, amidst the verdant lights, she was wearing a gorgeous red palace attire, which was a little brighter amidst the luxury.
The golden phoenix pattern on the wide skirt is shining brightly, the blue hair on the head is also tied up in a complicated bun, and a few round oriental beads are dotted in the hair, shining brightly.
Such a dress is clearly intended to attract everyone's attention.
"If you go back to the queen mother, the queen mother originally planned to come, but the sixth prince fell ill again, so she can only entrust her concubine to assist the queen mother to host the palace banquet tonight." This is a beautiful woman with a charming face and a plump body. , it is Luo Guifei who is loved by the current emperor.
Concubine Luo is also the crown prince's mother and concubine, and the crown prince has a very close relationship with the Hong family. Hong Fang is the crown prince's Taibao, and Hong Yulang has been the prince's playmate since childhood. The relationship between the two families is very close.
So as soon as she was seated, Concubine Luo started chatting with Zhuge Rou.
As soon as the sixth prince was mentioned, the banquet fell silent.
Ladies and wives who often come to palace banquets know that the sixth prince born to the empress is sick, and the mother and son are recuperating in the palace all year round, so they almost never attend such occasions, and Concubine Luo is the host every time.
After a long time, Concubine Luo has become the actual person in power in the harem after the Queen Mother.
As for the sixth prince, that is a taboo in the summer palace, and few people dare to mention it behind the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager's expression was a little displeased, she waved her hand, didn't ask any more questions, and just ordered the palace banquet to begin.
All the wives of the ministers and ladies from various families entered the banquet one after another, and the banquet started. Several court musicians and dancers walked into the banquet, playing, playing, singing and dancing.
The sweet osmanthus is fragrant, the moon hangs high in the sky, and the palace banquet is also a scene of joy and harmony.
Lan Lingyue casually ate a few mouthfuls of food, seeing that Mrs. Lan was a little absent-minded.
"Mother, what's the matter with you?" Ye Lingyue thought that Mrs. Lan was suffering because of Nangong Qinglin's words earlier.
"It's nothing, I'm just worried about the Empress Empress, the Sixth Prince's illness, it seems that it still hasn't improved."
When Mrs. Lan mentioned the queen, she was still a little dazed.
Seeing Ye Lingyue staring at her, Madam Lan smiled apologetically.
"Before the Empress entered the palace, my father was a teacher in her house. We were playmates since we were young. She was selected into the palace later, and I married your father. A few years ago, we There are contacts, but since the Sixth Prince's health was not good, she seldom showed up. Speaking of it, it has been many years." When mentioning the past, Madam Lan seemed very emotional, and she sighed.
When the empress first married, she was deeply loved by Emperor Xia, but since the sixth prince's health was not good, the empress has become a lot more withdrawn, and her former friends no longer interact with each other, and even Emperor Xia has been neglected by her.
After a long time, Emperor Xia also fell in love with other concubines, among which Concubine Luo Guifei, who was born as a close court lady with Emperor Xia, was the most favored.
The fourth prince born to Concubine Luo was also named the prince because of this.
People in the court said that the crown prince would inherit the grand ceremony and become the new emperor of Xia in the future, which undoubtedly raised Concubine Luo's status a little bit higher.
"Lingyue, mother has one thing that I've been wanting to ask you for a long time. Last time, you cured your father's illness. Can you take a look at the sixth prince's illness?" Mrs. Lan begged Ye Lingyue.
From Madam Lan's point of view, Ye Lingyue was able to cure Lan Taishou's old diseases. Her medical skills must be much better than those imperial doctors and alchemists from the alchemist association.
Ye Lingyue was momentarily at a loss for words.
Speaking of which, she is considered to have excellent medical skills, but relying on Dingxi and Hongmeng Handwriting, she can learn from others.
However, she couldn't tell her mother the truth about this.
"Mother, we will talk about this matter later. After all, there are many imperial doctors in the palace, and neither the Empress Dowager nor the Empress Dowager will agree to let me, a half-hearted alchemist, treat the Sixth Prince." Ye Lingyue comforted her mother.
Madam Lan nodded after listening.
It was also because she was too impatient and forgot the rules in the palace. It seems that if she wants to see a doctor, she needs to think about it in the long run.
The mother and daughter were talking when the music stopped suddenly.
"Empress Dowager, today coincides with the Mid-Yuan Festival, and the beauty of the moon is reunited. All those present are the daughters of the nobles of my Great Xia Palace. They are all capable of writing and martial arts. Why don't you let the ladies of each family come forward and perform a show of talent. Give your old man a golden smile." Concubine Luo Gui got a look from Zhuge Rou and understood, and said in the Queen Mother's ear.
The queen mother drank some wine and was in a good mood, so she nodded.
"Whoever performs well will be rewarded."
When the ladies of each family heard this, they all cheered up. This is a good opportunity to show their faces in front of the Queen Mother. The daughters of civil servants played the qin and made paintings, recited poems and recited poems, and the daughters of military officers danced swords and punched fists, and the palace banquet immediately burst into applause.
Hong Yuying also stepped forward and showed off a set of beautiful sword skills.
"The tiger girl of the Hong family, Miss Yuying's swordsmanship is quite like that of the crown prince and Taibao. I will reward you with fifty taels of gold."
Hong Yuying was very proud of winning the award, and she left the stage like a peacock. At this time, she happened to see Ye Lingyue sitting with Mrs. Lan.
She frowned and said suddenly.
"Empress Dowager, when it comes to the tiger girl of the general family, Miss Lan is the real queen of the general family. Her set of boxing skills at the palace banquet won the praise of the Queen Mother. It is a pity that Miss Lan is not here. However, Lan The second young lady of the family is here, why not let her perform in place of Miss Lan."
As soon as Hong Yuying's words fell, Mrs. Lan's face became more troubled.
She can keep a low profile tonight.
It's just why, over and over again, some people want to provoke their mother and daughter. "
"Oh? The second young lady of the Lan family is also here. I heard that you are the daughter of General Lan who just came back from the people. Step forward and let the Ai family take a look." The empress dowager also heard that there are many Lan Yingwu. She had a daughter, and there were too many people at the palace banquet today, so the queen mother forgot about it, but after being reminded by Hong Yuying, she remembered it.
The other noble wives fell silent, their eyes turned to the seats of the mother and daughter of the Lan family.
The empress dowager likes the eldest lady of the Lan family, and even made her the princess. This matter has been circulated in Xiadu for a while. I don't know if the second lady of the Lan family can get the empress dowager this time Love it, or hate it
