The Manchu and Han concubines were not as bold as the Mongolian concubines, they dared not speak, but they blushed, covered their mouths with their handkerchiefs and giggled.

How can the emperor not understand seeing such a situation?All his concubines want to choose Prince Xiang!

He slapped the table angrily: "Queen, you are bold!"

Qiqige got up in a daze and said: "The concubine is guilty."

The queen mother said: "Emperor, the queen is talking about the characters in the storybook, what are you anxious about? Today's family banquet is rare for everyone to be happy, so don't worry about it so much."

The concubines were joking, but the emperor had a ghost in his heart, he was anxious to put Prince Xiang in his seat, and always felt that the hat on his head was going to turn green, could he feel at ease?

The emperor was depressed, he said sullenly: "I'm tired, I'll go back first."

The concubines hurriedly got up to see them off, and the queen mother also smiled and said: "I am here to restrain you, I will go back first, you can play!"

Qiqige didn't try to keep the emperor, she grabbed the queen mother's arm and acted like a spoiled child, "Don't rush to leave, queen mother! It's not time to watch the moon yet, the concubine has prepared other programs! The family banquet is specially prepared for you , how can we have the nerve to have a banquet after you leave?"

The queen mother smiled and waved her hands. She has devoted so much effort to her son over the years. Today, Qiqige's arrangement will work. She has no intention of having fun.

"I'm old and I can't bear it any longer, so please eat more for me!"

Both the emperor and the queen mother left, and the atmosphere in the imperial garden became condensed.

Qiqige sighed softly: "The empress dowager and the emperor have left, let's speed up the process too! Tell the imperial dining room to let them serve the dishes."

The concubines were more or less disappointed that they could not go out of the palace to reunite with their families during the Mid-Autumn Festival.Last night's palace banquet was more symbolic than practical, and the banquet was formal and boring.

I thought that the queen mother would take them to have fun for a day today, but I didn't expect that the queen mother and the emperor would leave before it was time to watch the moon.Judging from the current situation, they probably had to leave after eating the noodles.

As dusk fell, the eunuchs lit up the palace lanterns, and the imperial garden became bright again.

Admiring flowers under the lamp is also an elegant thing, but it is a pity that the concubines are not in the mood to enjoy flowers.

The maids removed the snacks and fruits, and served the wine first.

Qiqige filled the wine and raised the glass. This was the first glass of wine toasted by the queen, and the concubines hurriedly got up to listen to the training.

"Today, Japan intends to take advantage of the Empress Dowager to invite everyone to enjoy the moon and drink. Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager has gone back first, so let's forget about the moon admiration."

Everyone lowered their heads and felt disappointed. They had just heard a good story in the afternoon, and they had to leave the table when they were in high spirits.

Qiqige said again: "This is the end of the moon appreciation, but... the birthday celebration officially begins!"

Girls, let's party tonight!

The eunuchs of Xian'an Palace filed in with gongs and suonas, and Qingyan stepped forward and shouted: "Get ready—get up!"

"Say away from all your troubles, come on with all your happiness, la la la, la la la happy birthday, every day is wonderful!"

The soul-stirring sound of the suona sounded in the imperial garden, and the five concubines were invited out.

Aruna led the maids over with trays and put on a string of pearl necklaces for each concubine.

The five concubines were shy and at a loss, and Aruna led them to sit on Qiqige's table.

The sound of the suona was suspended, and the eunuchs playing the music changed to another soft and warm tune.

Qiqige smiled and said, "You all have birthdays in August, and today we got together to have a lively birthday party. The pearl necklace is my birthday gift to you. It's not worth anything, it's just my heart."

The five concubines hurriedly stood up to express their thanks, and one concubine with a sensitive mind even had tears in her eyes.

In the palace, only the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the Empress and several Fujin are eligible to hold a birthday banquet.Since entering the palace, the concubines could only prepare a bowl of longevity noodles for themselves on their birthdays. The maids and eunuchs came to say happy birthday, and the concubines had to reward them with money.

The pearl necklace given by Qiqige is naturally precious, but what is even more precious is the warmth of being remembered.

Qiqige asked them to sit down, "You are the birthday stars, today you are the oldest, don't get up and salute at every turn. From now on, I will pick a day every month to celebrate everyone's birthday. Everyone, don't be dazed, you are not happy Come here to toast the birthday stars?"

The Fujin concubines in the palace are all young, the oldest is only 19 years old, just the age that loves to play.They are usually bound by the palace rules, but today Qiqige took them to play, and they all started to make a fuss.

The five concubines were all given several glasses of wine. Fortunately, the alcohol content was not high, otherwise they would have passed out before eating.

Seeing that they were making a scene, Qiqige hurriedly drove them back.

This group of women started drinking before eating.

The imperial dining room has prepared a bone soup hot pot, and the freshly cooked pot is better than the dishes at the palace banquet yesterday, and the dishes will not be cold after eating half of them.

Blowing the cool evening breeze, eating hot hot pot, and having a cup of hot and slightly sweet Yuquan wine, I feel very happy.

Qiqige frantically played the game. If she wants to play, please close your eyes when it gets dark. She also mentioned that she had made a card.But some people think that death and life are inauspicious, and they propose to drink alcohol.But the concubine from Mongolia didn't understand the drinking rules of the Han people, so everyone decided to play the game of throwing pots.

Qiqige is the king of the pot throwing world, with her, only others will lose.The loser has to drink, and in the end everyone can't drink anymore and it becomes a show.

The concubine either told a joke or guessed a riddle, and even the most careful Han Chinese, Fujin Shi, sang a ditty from his hometown. Qi Qige admired the drunken appearance of all the beauties, and smiled like a fool, like King Zhou of Shang Dynasty living.

Seeing that her sister has never been punished, E Wenzhu, a professional accountant of Kengjie, was upset, so she and Age got together to mutter.

Age stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you always win, I am not convinced! Why don't we have a competition, the winner will be determined in one game, and the loser will sing the song, do you dare?"

Qiqige was proud and rampant, "You don't have to use the aggressive method, today I will show you who is the golden hand in the pot-throwing world!"

Agger's pot-throwing skills are not bad either, she easily threw the arrow into the thin-necked vase.

Qiqige shook her finger at her, implying that Aggie was not good enough.

Age smiled and said, "My lady, please!"

Qiqige was holding up the arrow and posing. She just raised her hand to throw it, but E Wenzhu pushed her. Qiqige let go of her hand, and the arrow fell to her feet.

All the concubines cheered in unison, Age clapped his hands and laughed, "Your Majesty, accept the bet, let's sing a song!"

E Wenzhu raised her arms and cheered, asking everyone to boo together. "Sing! Sing! Sing!"

Qiqige was so angry that she pinched E Wenzhu's face, "You stinky girl, you just tricked me!"

E Wenzhu yelled: "I know that my sister has a good face, so I will arrange it for her. You court ladies and eunuchs are too ruthless. The empress is about to sing, so hurry up and escape."

Aruna led the maids and eunuchs back far away, and Qiqige was so troubled that she couldn't help it, "Okay! I will sing a song for you today!"

She closed her eyes and put her hands on her chest.The concubines waited silently, Qiqige opened her mouth lightly, and her small body burst into a rough singing voice. "The big river flows eastward! The stars in the sky are connected to the Big Dipper!"

The concubines were startled at first, and then all couldn't help laughing.Aruna and the others could hear Qiqige's loud and clear singing even though they were standing far away.

There was a lot of laughter in the imperial garden, and Qiqige deliberately teased them, "Hey! Come together! Friends, let me see your hands!"

The concubines had already drunk too much, otherwise they wouldn't have made Qiqige sing.

At this moment, Qiqige called everyone to come together. At first, only one or two people agreed, and finally the big guys went crazy, and everyone sang along, "Hey, hey, go to Kyushu!"

The crowd kept arguing until the third watch. No matter how beautiful the moonlight was, no one appreciated it. Everyone was crazy about it.

When Qiqige returned to Xian'an Palace, she was still humming, and when she wobbled in the door, she heard someone humming coldly.

"It was a lot of fun!"

Qiqige sobered up all of a sudden, why is the dog emperor in her Xian'an Palace?

"My Majesty, all blessings and golden safety, why are you here?"

The emperor waved his hand with a sullen face, making Aruna and others retreat.

Aruna glanced at Qiqige, Qiqige nodded to her, "Go back and rest!"

When everyone left, the emperor asked: "You deliberately arranged the book that the little eunuch said today, and you know everything?"

Although it was a questioning tone, the emperor had obviously guessed it.Qiqige nodded nonchalantly, "Yes, I arranged it, and I know it all."

"You are so brave." The emperor said in a deep voice.

Qiqige ignored him and took care of removing her makeup and hair.

The emperor opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end, not knowing what he was thinking.

Qiqige was sleepy, her eyes were astringent and dry, she was not in the mood to stay with the emperor, so she took the initiative to sit beside the emperor and persuade him.

"You like to divide people into two categories, one is for you, and the other is for the Queen Mother. From the day I entered the Forbidden City, you have classified me as the Queen Mother's faction. You hate me and are hostile to me. Because I am the queen chosen by the queen mother for you. But how can people be so simple? I am the grandniece of the queen mother, and I am also your niece. You and the queen mother are the same in my heart, and you are all my relatives and elders. "

The emperor snorted coldly: "Sweet words."

Qiqige raised her hands and smiled, "Okay! I won't befriend you! You are a smart man, you have looked at my actions since entering the palace with cold eyes, am I fighting to climb the dragon bed, or do I have to give birth to you?" Don’t be too confident! I just want to live my own life, and if I get the queen’s salary, I will do the queen’s work well. Let’s not mess with the river, just treat me as your minister.”

The emperor said: "My minister will not disrespect the king like you."

Qiqige became impatient, "What do you still think of me? Put you on a stick and lift you up to the sky to respect?"

Qiqige found that the topic of conversation was off track, and quickly pulled the topic back.

"To be honest, the Dong E family has nothing to do with me. If the two of you are exposed, what loss do I have? At that time, Dong E's will be the first to die, and I am still the queen. Eat and drink well Sleep well. There is no outsider in the house now. Let me call you Uncle, let’s talk through the word. Uncle, you are a man, you have to take responsibility, and your momentary pleasure will cost Dong E’s life. If you If you really love her, don't hurt her."

The emperor lowered his head, as if he had a heavy burden on his back. After a long time, until Qiqige almost fell asleep sitting up, he said: "Is there any wine? I want to talk to you."

Qiqige thought to herself, for such a simple truth, I have said everything that should be said, so what else should I talk about?

She yawned indifferently, "Uncle, I'm sleepy. If you really want to talk to me, you have to spend money."
