[Red House] Lixian

A family banquet, as the name suggests, is a royal banquet.Except for the concubines in the palace, there are only a few princes and four kings with foreign surnames.

There are many funerals in the palace this year, so it is not appropriate to make a big deal of it.He hastily set up a banquet in the Jinhua Hall to receive everyone from the royal family.

During the Double Ninth Festival family banquet, Situ Yun and Wei Qian held a small sacrifice together to worship Tao Gong.

Tao Yuanming loved chrysanthemums, and was revered as the God of Chrysanthemums, as well as the Fairy of Chrysanthemums.Situ Yun and Wei Qian worshiped the male and female flower gods respectively.

Then Situ Yun bestowed cornel wine on behalf of all the officials, and Wei Qian prepared to give chrysanthemums and gold hairpins to the wives.

After finishing their busy work, the two cleaned their hands and prepared to go to Jinhua Hall.

Seeing that the two of them finished their busy work, Xiang Ling joked to Wei Qian with a smile: "Your majesty and your majesty are really suitable for each other. This kind of thing is much better than empress empress."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wei Qian twisted Xiangling's nose: "Be careful that the Queen will come to look for you in your dreams at night."

At this time, Situ Yun changed his clothes, and the two started driving together.

"Be careful this time, put on airs in front of those concubines." Situ Yun told Wei Qian in a low voice: "The empress has never been arrogant, you have to calm down."

"Don't worry, I know." Wei Qian didn't worry about those concubines, and said with a relaxed smile, "They are all losers now, why should your majesty worry?"

With the departure of the Supreme Emperor, the backing of the princes disappeared, and the fifth prince really lost all his authority, and stayed at home as an idle prince.Even if the fifth princess is always proud, how dare she show off her power in front of Wei Qian now?

"The Fourth Prince believes in Buddhism. Now His Majesty has made it clear that he is serious and ordered someone to withdraw the stupa in his mansion. I believe he will be honest for a while. As for the Third Prince..." Wei Qian chuckled: "Your Majesty worships Taoism as the Son of Heaven , how many people are willing to follow him?"

Situ Yun smiled with satisfaction, yes, he himself is not religious.But believing in religion can bring him great benefits, and he doesn't mind canonizing a few national teachers and revealing his inclinations slightly.

The Supreme Emperor believed in religion, and Situ Yun's actions could win the favor of his father.It can even eliminate Taoism's support for the Three Princes.On the side of the Fourth Prince, if he doesn't need to do anything, the Taoists will only help him eliminate the influence of Buddhism.

The three princes are safe, and Situ Yun's life will be easier.

In the past, these concubines were arrogant, and the queen was often teased by them when she was a concubine.In the next few times, the queen didn't have time to get back to the scene.Situ Yun desperately hoped that Wei Qian could help him kill the prestige of these imperial wives.

"I'll save my life." Wei Qian was calm and unhurried, while Situ Yun closed his eyes and thought about the current government affairs.

"Now the three imperial brothers have no power to resist. As long as the Wu family and a few kings with foreign surnames are cleaned up, I will be able to take power alone."

The Wu family is a powerful official, and the Wang family is the most taboo of the royal family.

The four kings and eight males have always been connected with each other.But Wei Qian and Jia Yuanchun told Jia's mansion early on, and now Jia's mansion is obediently following behind Situ Yun.

The four kings couldn't stay, but Situ Yun didn't care if the family of the Dukes of the Eight Kingdoms left one or two.Not to mention the two more favored concubines.

The two entered the palace, the empress dowager sat down with the other concubines with Jia Yuanchun's support, and the princes and concubines of each family had also been waiting for a long time.

Wei Qian focused on Concubine Zhen Gui.

Concubine Zhen Gui was in low spirits. Although the Empress Dowager Chen didn't do anything publicly, she only needed to express her attitude, and someone below would naturally help her vent her anger.

Now Empress Dowager Chen is a well-deserved master of the harem, sitting in the top position with the support of Yuan Chun.Looking down at the opponents of the past, the concubines were respectful and did not dare to be careless.

Yuan Chun sat on her right hand with a big belly.

"My son/concubine pays homage to my mother/empress dowager." Wei Qian and Situ Yun saluted, and the empress dowager smiled: "Sit down, sit down, are you done with your work?"

"Concubine Ning handled the baby well, and I have given flowers to all the wives." Situ Yun and Wei Qian took their seats, Situ Yun sat on the left side of the empress dowager, and Wei Qian was on Situ Yun's left.

The empress dowager, the emperor and the second concubine are in the main seat, and the concubines and concubines are on the right under the leadership of Concubine Wen.The princes and princesses are on the left.

"Double Ninth and Double Ninth Festival should be celebrated well. But Aijia thinks that there are too many trivial matters in the palace this year, so he should keep it simple. But it is difficult to prepare carefully for Concubine Ning, so let's do our best. There is no need to restrict etiquette today."

Wei Qian asked Xue Baochai to decorate the Jinhua Hall early on, and chrysanthemums of various colors were placed in the hall.Gold is the main color, supplemented by various colors of green, red, pink and daisy.There are also several rare treasures, which are the only copies that Wei Qian asked the plum blossom fairy to come forward and beg from the chrysanthemum fairy.

"My minister obeys."

Everyone saluted and sat down again.

But it was one thing for the queen mother to say that, but everyone was cautious and did not dare to make a mistake.

"Speaking of which, it seems that Concubine Xianshu's baby is about to be born?" Concubine Nan'an saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she took the initiative to speak.

Jia Yuanchun's child was seven months old, and according to the doctor's diagnosis, it seemed to be a boy.

Wei Qian's eyes moved, but he didn't speak.According to her and Ling Lan's calculations, Jia Yuanchun shouldn't have given birth to a boy, and she was lucky enough to give birth to a princess in her life.

But now that Jia Yuanchun is pregnant with a dragon child, Wei Qian vaguely feels something is wrong.It seems that this dragon son was deliberately done by someone?

But she didn't know that this dragon fetus had some connection with her.That day, Wei Qian was set up by the queen to almost expose her cultivation.The two masters had made preparations, took out a jade pendant to catch the dragon's energy, and prepared to cover it for Wei Qian when the time came.

However, they were sent to the palace through Jia's mansion. Madam Wang heard that the jade pendant was miraculous, so she would not leave it to Wei Qian, but gave it to Jia Yuanchun to wear close to her body.

Fortunately, Wei Qian reacted in time at the beginning, Ling Lan asked her unnamed disciple Qin Tian Supervisor for help, and finally fooled her.In the past few days, Wei Qian took the initiative to seal her cultivation to avoid Situ Yun's investigation.

As for the jade pendant, it nourished Jia Yuanchun's body because of the dragon's energy. When the dragon raised its head on February [-], the jade pendant was wrapped in the dragon's energy and put into the body to transform into a shape.

Jia Yuanchun smiled and said to Concubine Dong'an: "The imperial doctor said that there is still a month to go."

Her pregnancy was a bit difficult, and it was inferred that she would be born prematurely.

She touched her belly and took care of the dragon fetus carefully.

"For our royal family, having many children and grandchildren is a blessing." A toffee flattered the queen mother.

The queen mother smiled: "Yes, if you are a prince, this is my family's blessing."

The Supreme Emperor died, and Situ Yun could not have sex for a long time.Except for Jia Yuanchun's baby, the harem could not give birth to dragon sons for a long time.

The third concubine smiled slightly, and looked at Wei Qian: "It's a pity that I am keeping my filial piety for the emperor now, otherwise Concubine Ning and Empress Ning would also be able to spread branches and leaves for His Majesty."

I'm coming!

Situ Yun frowned, only to hear Wei Qian smiling sweetly next to him: "What Princess Cheng said is true. But it is our duty to be filial to the late emperor, and we must not have evil thoughts."

Wei Qian pinched a grape, implying something: "In the past, I often heard about it among the people. After the father's death, there were sons who couldn't hold their breath, and there were those vicious sons who seduced the young master and had sex secretly for fun. Zi decoction can avoid future troubles, but people don't know that people are doing it, and heaven is watching."

There was something in Wei Qian's words, and everyone's expressions turned serious. Wei Qian continued: "We are the royal family, and we are an example for the world. We must not behave like this. Otherwise, even if His Majesty wants to protect him, it will be difficult to save him."

With a glance, he looked back and forth among several princes, not knowing who to look at.

The hearts of the princes were beating drums, and their faces were stiff.

This is an unwritten rule, is it true to observe filial piety and not touch women for a year?Even Situ Yun wanted to touch him, but Wei Qian stopped him several times.

Now Situ Yun felt a little guilty, thinking that Wei Qian was referring to him.But when Wei Qian's eyes fell on those brothers, especially the expressions of a few brothers who were wrong, he immediately stood up and said righteously: "Yes, what Concubine Ning said is true. I am born in the Tian family, and I must not have such a scandal!"

Wei Qian showed her demeanor, took the lead and softly said to the third concubine: "Princess Cheng has no sons under her body. But don't be impatient. According to folk rules, although intercourse is possible after one year. But our Tianjia focuses on sincerity, sister It's better to wait until the three-year filial piety expires before adding incense to the Third Prince."

This is to force us to die!The princess had a dark face and was about to refute.But after Wei Qian clicked on her, he said to the fourth prince's concubine: "When I marry into the royal family, I should consider it for the sake of the royal family. Apart from procreating offspring, I also need to teach the offspring to serve the country and the people. Know that the royal family is guilty of the same crime as the common people."

Princess Shun remembered that her eldest son had caused trouble abroad not long ago, so Nuonuo agreed.But I hated in my heart, this girl has just become a concubine, and she dares to show off in front of us?

The prince and concubine are of the first rank, equal to the concubine.But it is obvious that the concubine is taller than the concubine, after all, she is the real concubine.

Wei Qian took out the concubine's airs to point the two concubines, and Situ Yun felt happy when he heard it.These words were all said by the two sister-in-laws to their husband and wife in the past.The queen was so suppressed that she was weak, and she didn't dare to have a rebuttal.

Now Wei Qian is putting on the airs of a concubine and changing back one by one. In front of Situ Yun, the two concubines dare not refute.

The two concubines looked at each other, thinking about how to cause trouble to Wei Qian, their eyes fell on the fifth concubine.

The fifth prince and his wife buried their heads, and dared not speak during this banquet from the beginning to the end.

Situ Yun and Empress Dowager Chen felt secretly refreshed by Wei Qian showing off his prestige.Without the supremacy, the power of the two of them has increased, how dare these concubines and princes sing against each other?

Wei Qian slapped her face with her words, and the anger that the two had held for many years slowly vented.

On the contrary, Jia Yuanchun maintained his demeanor and smiled, his heart churning constantly.

A few days ago, Mrs. Wang entered the palace and mentioned all the things in the palace to her.

"Now that little girl Wei Qian is relying on her daughter to seize power during your pregnancy, daughter, you need to prepare early!"

At present, the power in the harem is in the hands of the Queen Mother. Obviously, the Queen Mother believes in Wei Qian. Wei Qian holds the real power in the harem. She and Situ Yun even cooperated in offering sacrifices to the Empress Dowager.Not to mention today's Double Ninth Festival small sacrifice.

Although Jia Yuanchun trusted Wei Qian, his mother's words echoed in his ears: "Daughter, it's not that mother is talking too much. Do you know what the outside world calls Wei Qian? Little queen, except that she doesn't have the position of queen, look at her." What's missing? The right is in hand, she is also a concubine, even inferior to your position, but her reputation outside is far higher than yours!"

Jia Yuanchun twisted the veil and thought to himself: "Indeed, my cousin is too popular. If this momentum continues, I'm afraid that this noble concubine..."

Jia Yuanchun didn't care that Wei Qian had no children.But Wei Qian is too capable, and Wei Qian's background is far above Jia Yuanchun.Even a princess can do it.The only obstacle is the few marriage contracts that year.

If it weren't for this hindrance, she would have been able to become a concubine in one step back then.

But now, gradually winning people's hearts, those old things have long been left behind.
