After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Soon, it was the eighth day of July, and Su Qingling was feeling anxious the whole day!

The carriage of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and the carriage of the Marquis of Xin'an's Mansion met halfway and traveled together!

Both of them had imperial edicts, wore blue silk embroidered phoenix robes, and wore nine dragon and four phoenix crowns on their heads. There were 12 large and small flower branches on the crowns, and two bobins on each side!

However, the wife of the Duke was a second-rank imperial edict, with eight flower hairpins and a 翟 with eight layers; while the wife of the Marquis, Liu Yunjia, was a third-rank imperial edict, with seven flower hairpins and a 翟 with seven layers!

When we arrived outside the palace gate, there was already a long line of carriages!

To enter the palace, only family members of palace officials of the fourth rank or above are allowed!

Nowadays, all the married princes have been crowned kings and left the palace, each with their own king.

Add to that the countless kings, princes, and ministers, and for a moment, the long queue moved much slower!

The two of them simply sat in a car and chatted, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao Feng Shuting from the General's Mansion arrived!

Feng Shuting’s imperial robes were also second grade, the same as Yang Zhongxiu’s!

"Well, you two came without even saying anything to wait for me, you really deserve a beating!"

Yang Zhongxiu, the handkerchief accomplice, responded cheerfully: "We are not on the same road, so it is better for us to meet here! Are you jealous?"

One of them is straightforward, the other one doesn't like to hide her temper, and Liu Yunjia is also an open-minded person. The three of them have similar personalities, so naturally they are not restrained!

Zhao Yaner's personality is somewhat like her mother's, and she is like her mother this time!

After looking around, he asked, "Aunt Liu, why isn't Sister Su here?"

Liu Yunjia smiled and said, "Your sister Su wanted to come, but her sister-in-law had an accident a few days ago, so she was afraid of violating taboos, so she had to give up!"

Yang Zhongxiu had never heard of it, and asked curiously:

"How can you say that? Miss Su is only in her twenties. I think her sister-in-law should be even younger. How could it be... Alas, the Changning Marquis's Mansion is really..."

Everyone naturally knew what he meant. But at this point, it was hard to say much, so we had to change the subject!

Yang Zhongxiu lowered his voice and ordered:

"When you enter the palace later, if you want to enjoy the flowers, remember not to touch anything. According to my experience, if you have nothing to do, try to stay away from the main seat!"

They are all smart people. Although Feng Shuting didn't know the specific situation, she was startled and knew that her best friend would not do something without a purpose!

Liu Yunjia had already been instructed by her daughter, so she naturally knew it!

In fact, this birthday banquet has another meaning, which is to select a principal wife for Prince Duan and Prince Rui. Each of them already has a concubine, and now they have both left the house, so it is legitimate to choose a principal wife!

Moreover, the fourth prince Xiao Zongren, born to Concubine Shu of Yanxi Palace, is fifteen years old this year and has reached the age to be married!

This Concubine Su Yunsheng came from the Marquis of Xin'an Mansion. She was Su Mingyuan's younger sister. She was virtuous and polite. She seldom showed up in public. Before she entered the palace, she got along very well with Liu Yunjia!

Then again, after everyone entered the palace, apart from the sound of footsteps, hardly anyone spoke!

Finally we arrived at Jiaotai Hall, which is an important place in the imperial palace, used for major ceremonies and activities!

There were many ladies of noble birth who came to the Queen's birthday banquet, including, of course, unmarried noble ladies from aristocratic families!

The palace supervisor led the wives, princesses, and ladies of noble birth from the various royal palaces, who had been waiting for a long time, in a line from the Cangzhen Gate, and lined up outside the Jiaotai Hall, before Danbi!

Queen Zheng Yuqing wore a jewel-colored stand-up collar robe and a headdress with jade beads in her hair. She had a fair and delicate face, a beautiful forehead, a high and pointed nose, clearly drawn eyebrows, big and bright phoenix eyes, and soft corners of her mouth. With her work clothes, she looked extremely noble!

She brought all the concubines and others to pay her respects before the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and then arrived at the Kunning Palace, which symbolizes the central palace.

The palace supervisor invited the Imperial Noble Consort, Noble Consort, concubines and imperial concubines to stand on both sides of the Jiaotai Hall. The Empress took the seat in auspicious clothes, and everyone below the Imperial Noble Consort took their seats and bowed!

The ones who came today included Consort Hui, Consort Shu, Consort Xian, Consort De, all the Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Xiuyuan, and Jieyu...

This time, although Zheng Yuqing has ordered her confidants to pay more attention, and Zheng Zejiu has also sent people to set up layers of control, she still feels uneasy!

This time, the Phalaenopsis orchids are still arranged according to the original plan!

The palace banquet will take some time. Before that, the Queen will summon a lady of high status to talk!

Naturally, all the second-rank ladies were on the list. Liu Yunjia was originally a third-rank lady, but because her husband had become a second-rank official and she had not yet had time to ask for a title, she was also invited to an audience!

Until he met the wife of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Ms. Min, who was also a second-rank official, about 55 years old, with a kind face, looking like a bodhisattva, and spoke very softly!

I don't know why, but I saw the purple orchid next to the queen, smiling very happily!

"Your Majesty, I heard that you love Phalaenopsis orchids. These flowers and fruits are really beautiful! It shows that Your Majesty has put a lot of effort into them!"

Although Zheng Yuqing was well prepared, she still felt a little nervous. It really came!

"Although I love flowers, I don't have the energy to take care of them, but you like them very much!"

Mrs. Min said hurriedly, "Although I don't know much about flowers, I can tell the good from the bad. I can see that these flowers were carefully planted! ... Hehe... I think the deep purple one is the most beautiful!"

Zheng Yuqing smiled and raised her hand to touch him, but she was watching Min's expression out of the corner of her eyes!

But when he stretched out his hand, although Min still had the same smiling face, her eyes narrowed unconsciously!

Zheng Yuqing has a habit. She has no resistance to Phalaenopsis orchids. She likes them so much that she has the habit of touching the flowers from time to time!

Although Nanny Xiao often reminded her, she felt that life was boring, and only these pots of flowers could make her feel better!

When she retracted her outstretched hand and sat down upright, she saw that Min frowned slightly. Although it was only for a moment, she caught it keenly!

"Seeing that you like this pot of flowers so much, I feel happy. Li Wei, bring the flowers over here and let Madam Min take a closer look!"

The female official at the side carefully picked up the pedestal and walked towards Min!

Min's face became stiff for a moment, and her smile became a little distorted.

"Thank you for your attention, madam, but I am a humble person, how can I be worthy of your favor!"

Zheng Yuqing leaned forward slightly, but her tone was even gentler:

"It's just a pot of flowers, why do you have to be so particular? This flower is very fragrant. Li Wei, let the Minister's wife smell it, and then let her touch it and try it out to see how it feels!"

Min knew it very well. Even though she knew the truth was revealed, she was unwilling to die. She fell to her knees and kowtowed hard on the ground!

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am guilty... Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am guilty..."

As the queen, she was poisoned by someone. If she hadn't known about it in advance, she would have died!

"Come here, take Min away for a thorough interrogation, and take the rest of the people into custody as well!"

It turned out that the person who poisoned the queen sneaked in during the chaos before the queen came in, and was caught red-handed as soon as he took out the poison!
