Although the Sacred Life Festival was a day that no one in the court dared to forget for twenty years, because it was held once a year, frankly speaking, for most of the participants, it was really as the Empress Dowager herself had said, nothing unusual anymore.

It is nothing more than dressing up and going to the palace to say congratulations and have a meal except for the newly promoted officials and their families who will be more excited and more frightened, the real nobles have long been accustomed to such festivals and occasions.

But this year is not quite the same after all.

It wasn’t so much the matter of the two Su Xiang kingsit was the fact that this year, everyone knew that Emperor Duanhua had previously fallen out with the Dowager Empress!

Although this time the birthday banquet, also known as the Duanhua emperor personally hosted the organization, but who does not know the emperor will not say heartfelt wishes to the first grandmother life than South Mountain, he does not curse in the heart of this grandmother early in the Yellow Springs is good!

So one of the most realistic questions in front of everyone is: how to behave at the birthday banquet?

Even if the Empress Dowager is hated by Emperor Duanhua, in the end, her status is placed there, and she is the protagonist at the Holy Birthday Festival, so she shouldn’t be coldshouldn’t be coldshouldn’t be coldshouldn’t be too enthusiastic, in case Emperor Duanhua sees it or knows about it, he will take this family down how to do it?

After all, the impression that Emperor Duanhua has left on everyone lately can’t be considered generous …

Each family worry about this problem, Song Yi smile is very relaxed: Duanhua emperor said to Jian Xubai, when she gave birth to a son, and then restored her grant, that is to say, she is still only Jane Song, according to the rules are not qualified to enter the palace to the Empress Dowager to congratulate.

So on this day she stayed at the house to watch the baby cum settle down.

In fact, if Song Yixiao enjoined still, because her pregnancy is still less than three months, Jian Xubai in order to be safe, may also give her leave not to enter the palace the problem is, they do not go, and can not go, is two kinds of moods, okay?

“I know you care about me, but when we get to His Majesty, you must not show any sign of it!” Song Yixiao advised him as she helped him dress, “If His Majesty finds out, our whole family will have to suffer!”

When Jian Xubai went out with a sullen face, she realized that she seemed to have accidentally and habitually provoked …

Alas, this kind of thing is really a matter of habit!

Song Yixiao shook her head a little out of amusement, and beckoned the three children to follow her to check their homework Lu Zhuoer and Song Xuan were doing as they normally would, but Jian Qingyue was still holding a bit of a grudge, and with a beak on her lips, she stood behind her aunt and her older brother, glancing at her mother out of the corner of her eye.

“I just hit you a few times, and you’re still holding a grudge against me!” Seeing this, Song Yixiao said to her, “You don’t want to think about whether my mother gave you rules for nothing?”

Jane Qing Yue sex. The child lively, but has not been spoiled out of arrogance, also recognized that he took the ink wipe Song Xuan is not right, but aggrieved, “But hit me one or two can also be ah! Why do you have to hit me ten times!”

“Alright, this is mother’s fault, mother will apologize to you.” Song Yixiao also didn’t want her daughter to have a disconnect with herself, seeing her say this, she also gave in and said, “Do you want for mother to let you hit a few times as well?”

“This is not necessary!” Jian Qingyue spread her face as she sniffed, “Father said that a girl’s family should be generous although Mother hit me more, I won’t hit back!”

“Your father is right, we Chao Ping must be a generous girl in the future!” Song Yixiao’s eyes flashed, smilingly beckoning her to come forward, touching her daughter’s little head, “However, generosity also needs to be divided into people, there are some people ah, if you are generous to him, he may think you are good at bullying of course, Chaoping doesn’t need to think too much right now, just remember mother’s words! ”

She just wants her daughter to be generous, but she doesn’t want her daughter to be generous enough to tolerate a man with three wives and four concubines!

Jane Qing Yue did not know what was in her mother’s mind and answered with seeming understanding.

Song Yixiao pacified his daughter, turned to ask Song Xuan and Lu Zhuoer recent homework and life, Song Xuan although young, but has been the beginning of a large family upbringing of the heritage, a board, a small adultlike answer, Lu Zhuoer is as silent as ever, only occasional nodding and shaking their heads.

“Does Thuo Er want her brother?” Song Yixiao has always been very concerned about this sister’s situation, seeing that she has not significantly improved so far, her heart is very sad, pressing down this emotion, smiling and asking, “In a couple of days, my sister will take you to see your brother, okay?”

While she was here coaxing her child, the Imperial City, with its dark currents, was blowing up at the Sacred Longevity Festival Banquet!

The reason for this is that shortly after the feast began, the Dowager Empress raised her bottle surrounded by the crowd, and before two sentences were said in the scene, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and a person whom everyone was not expecting walked in the commoner Lu Hehao!

It was already freezing cold in the imperial capital in November.

Though it was said that the hall where the birthday banquet was held was bound to be warmed by the burning of a floor dragon.

But after the door of the temple was opened, the wind and snow of the end of the year mixed with the severe cold air involved, because the banquet had not started for a long time, the guests who had not yet been fully intoxicated into the delicacies and wine and bamboo songs and dances, all noticed this change at the first time.

After seeing that the visitor was Lu Hehao, everyone was surprised, but they didn’t develop any sense of alarm they just thought that he had come to recognize his mistake.

Because in the eyes of the vast majority of people who didn’t know what was going on, Emperor Duanhua had been trying to preserve this younger brother, while the Dowager Empress hated this own grandson to the bone because Lu Hehao had masterminded the death of her own daughter, the Grand Princess of Dai Guo.

“Could it be that His Majesty couldn’t bear the thought of his compatriot brother wasting away in the imperial tomb, and took the opportunity today to let him come into the palace to make amends with the Dowager Empress Dowager, hoping that the Dowager Empress Dowager would say a few kind words to commoner Lu Hohao in the honor of all those who were present?” Many people are thinking, “Even if the Empress Dowager is just saying a few words to save face, His Majesty will have a reason to ask the court to be merciful!”

Some people, such as Empress Dowager Su and Empress Wei, on the other hand, both frowned, thinking that this scene was arranged by the Dowager Empress with the intention of turning on Emperor Duanhua now!

“Could it be that the Dowager Empress Dowager favors the Crown Prince as the new ruler? Otherwise, my son has not yet arrived at the imperial capital, why did the Dowager Empress make her move?!” Empress Dowager Su frowned is so thought, “Damn it, what to do now?!”

“Could it be that the Empress Dowager really wants King Su to be the new ruler? Otherwise, King Su has not yet been executed, why did the Dowager Empress make her move?!” Without realizing it, Empress Wei’s heart also sank, “Damn it, what should we do now?!”

These two and frightened and angry toward the Empress Dowager, hoping to find for their own side of the opportunity to turn around, do not think they so turn their heads, but see the Empress Dowager is also frightened and angry fell on the seat, dead staring at the step by step into the temple of the commoner Lu Hehao the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager’s status is honored, but also the Empress Dowager’s younger generation, the seat! Naturally, the distance from the Empress Dowager is the closest, so they can be very clear, from the depths of the Empress Dowager’s pupils, to see a clear rage, as well as a trace of fear that can not be concealed at this moment!

Empress Su and Empress Wei were both stunned: fear?

Empress Dowager, why do you fear commoner Lu Hakho?

Just wait for them to think more, the bottom of the commoner Lu Hehao has finished walking under the Dan Di onethird of the way, he also no longer walk forward, the rules of the lift the robe and kneel down, “Grandson congratulate the Imperial Grandmother birthday as you wish!”

“Mourning Family does not want to see him!!!” The Dowager Empress almost shivered as she put the wine bottle back on the case, then scolded her left and right, “Who allowed him to come in? Quickly with the mourning family will he gagged out who is the person who guards the door today? This is outrageous, without my permission, how can this commoner appear here!!!”

Everyone thought that on a day like this, at least it was her own grandson, and the Dowager Empress would more or less give the commoner Lu Hehao some face.

After all, Lu Hehao looked like he had come over specifically to kowtow to her to pay his respects, didn’t he?

But I did not expect the attitude of the Empress Dowager was so fierce, shocked, everyone subconsciously held their breath, and even the sound of silk and bamboo are unconsciously stopped!

In the wide hall that was quiet in a moment’s time, only the footsteps of a few chamberlains walking fast through the hall rang out sharply they had received orders from the Dowager Empress to go up and drive people away.

However, before they could reach Lu Hehao, Lu Hehao had already ended his kowtowing and straightened up.

He was still kneeling straight on the ground, but when his eyes turned to the people in the hall, including the three towering Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager, they all contained a hint of teasing, and he quickly raised his voice and said, “Imperial Grandmother, wait a moment! Grandson today risked his life to come, in addition to paying birthday tribute to the Royal Grandmother, but also to reveal a treacherous, heartless royal scandal!”

“Shut up!!!” The Dowager Empress at the top couldn’t control her screaming out, “Asshole! Why don’t you hurry up and do something, do you still want to let him continue to be defeated?!”

But the Empress Dowager’s screaming and urging, in the end, faster than Lu Hehao’s wanton laughter, “Imperial grandmother and why continue to cover up for His Majesty? After all, he insulted the first emperor’s favorite consort is just, even the king of Qing were born, but also in the name of the first emperor in the name of the first emperor, in the name of the first emperor’s surviving son of the king of the title such unfaithfulness, filial piety, unrighteousness and incestuousness of the person, the royal grandmother obviously already know, but always keep your mouth shut, but call the first emperor of the nine springs, how to rest in peace? ”

The last sentence, Lu Hehao almost shouted out only after he shouted out, he was held down and gagged by a group of chamberlains with seven hands and eight feet!

But

The temple followed by a succession of “clanging” sound, in order to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager, specially taken out from the treasury of the good porcelain, gold bottles, silver jewels, jade plate, at this moment were all dumbstruck people, have broken on the ground!

The wind and snow of the end of the year continued to roll in through the wideopen doors of the temple.

Blowing through a hall full of wood and stone.

I do not know how long, Wei Empress head of a dream, jumped up and drank, “are frozen to do what? Didn’t you hear the words of Imperial Grandmother? Why don’t you hurry up and pull this bastard down His Majesty has spent a lot of effort for him as a sibling brother! Not to mention that he’s favoring the enemy, he’s even dragging Mother Consort Nuan and King Qing, a pair of innocent mothers and children, into the water as well. …”

When the words came to this point, suddenly heard a “thud” everyone subconsciously looked at the sound, but saw that it was the Empress Wei mentioned Nuan Tai Fei, her hands still pinching a set of dental chopsticks, her skirt turned over a jade bowl and a puddle of soup, the whole person fainted on the seat, unconscious! The whole person fainted on the seat, unconscious!

Seeing this scene, the people who originally did not know whether to believe Lu Hehao’s words, their gazes were subtle: if Lu Hehao was pure nonsense, the Nuan Tai Fei should be furious at the moment and come out to refute or reprimand Lu Hehao, right?

Why did he just pass out without saying a word?

Wuhuan women’s physique, is it that delicate?

Or, are you a thief and therefore have nothing to say, and are in a state of shock, so you pass out?

Sensing the thoughts of the crowd, Empress Wei was like falling into an ice cellar!

But she knew she couldn’t back down at the moment the Crown Prince had the advantage of succeeding the throne all because he was the son of Emperor Duanhua!

Once Emperor Duanhua is convicted of adultery. If he was convicted of having a son in his late father’s name after having committed adultery against his concubine mother, he would most likely be deposed from the throne directly!

By then the Crown Prince will be the son of the Abolished Emperor!

So much so that his ascension to the throne was predictably difficult!

The queen took a deep breath and continued, “Nuan mother consort has always been quiet and gentle, not good at arguing, and at first was so vicious slander, no wonder she was so angry that she couldn’t say anything, and fainted directly! Come on people, quickly help mother consort Nuan to rest inside.”

Sweeping behind the Nuan Tai Consort, was being held in the arms of the nurse coaxing the King of Qing because of his young age, this prince did not go with his brothers and nephews to entertain the ministers of the front hall, but along with the birth mother on the side of the set up a seat for the female relatives the King of Qing now still do not know what is happening, is anxious to go to wake up the Nuan Tai Consort. King Qing was still unaware of what had happened, and was in a hurry to wake up Mrs. Nuan.

The Empress looked deeply at him, “Sixth Brother seems to be very worried about Nuan Mother Consort, go down a piece as well, lest he cry later!”

“Wait!” The Empress Su, who had a face as heavy as water, interrupted her words without slowing down, “On such an occasion today, the commoner Lu Hehao even said such an appalling thing, Empress, you want to minimize the big things and minimize the small things, but you are also too naïve! This is not the time to clear the air, must dispel rumors! Otherwise, it is to put the reputation of the Holy in what place? In my opinion, it would be better to let King Qing recognize his blood with His Majesty, or to stabilize people’s hearts Mother, what do you think?”
