The Queen's birthday is coming soon, and the Queen set a birthday banquet in the royal garden of the palace.

  The queen had summoned the five concubines before, so the fifth concubine was solely responsible for the matters of this birthday banquet. From the decorations to the various snacks and snacks, including the singing and dancing in the middle of the banquet, she is all in charge.

  The Queen ordered to go down late, but she did not mess up her hands and feet at all, and still arranged everything in an orderly and colorful manner.

  The birthday is placed in the imperial garden. Although there is no scene of hundreds of flowers blooming in summer, the delicate flowers are blooming to full blooms, and there is no sense of bleakness in autumn.

   There is a lotus pond not far away. Although the lotus flowers are gradually withering, the lotus leaves are lush, and they also show a unique and unique taste, and the scenery is picturesque.

  The wide open space in the middle of the garden is covered with a carpet embroidered with auspicious patterns, and the top of the carpet is the throne of the queen and the emperor.

  There are many small tables in two rows in front of the throne. The male and female guests are separated on both sides. On each table, there are longevity peaches, a variety of exquisite and tempting food and special wines.

  The birthday banquet is about to start. There are crowds of people around, with fragrant clothes on the temples, especially some unmarried ladies who are wearing exquisite makeup today, wearing the most fashionable clothes, and dressing up beautifully.

  The sixth prince is also at the age of 18 this year and is about to marry a concubine. Someone has made rumors earlier that the queen will take this opportunity to choose a concubine for the sixth prince.

  Yu Qing was the first to arrive today. She specially wore a pink lotus-trimmed skirt, a butterfly-shaped hairpin of the same color, and a string of bright red agate around her neck. She was all dressed up like a hostess.

  Everything around has been arranged, and she sat in the seat and talked to people she knew.

   "Five Imperial Concubine, today's birthday banquet was all arranged by you?"

  Yu Qing raised her chin slightly, and her specially made-up eyes looked more dazzling. There was a smile on her lips, and there was a smug look in her eyes: "The Empress is busy with her affairs, so I naturally want to help the Empress."

   "I heard that the Queen Mother personally ordered the Fifth Concubine to preside over this banquet?"

  Yu Qing smiled and nodded: "It's my honor that the empress concubine trusts me."

   The female relatives around heard it, and they all looked at Yu Qing with admiration. To be favored by the Empress, the Fifth Concubine is really amazing.

   This time, a woman on the other side said, "Speaking of which, I'm curious, how did the Empress leave this matter to the Fifth Imperial Concubine instead of Princess Huai?"

Speaking of Su Ying, a look of resentment flashed in Yu Qing's eyes, she still said with a smile: "Dr. Huai is pregnant now, I'm afraid I can only raise the baby at home, I'm not willing to come here today. ."

   "There are so many women who have given birth to children here. How can it be so expensive to have a child, and even the empress's birthday will not come."

  Yu Qing said with a smile, "Princess Huai was favored by Duke Huai. First she had two sons, and now she is pregnant. She is probably the most honorable woman in the capital now."

"Hey!" Some women were unconvinced after hearing this, "No matter how honorable she is, she relies on Duke Huai's reputation, do you really think she is amazing? Now that she is pregnant with a child, her eyes are above the top, and she doesn't even pay attention to the empress. in."

A flash of success flashed between Yu Qing's eyebrows, she sighed, and said slowly: "If she just doesn't take us seriously, how can she not even give the Queen's face? It really shouldn't be. "

   Yu Qing's reminder made some people even more unhappy: "I gave Princess Huai congratulations before, but she actually blocked everyone out."

Yu Qing now wants to ruin Su Ying's reputation, she sighed: "How can she meet others if she doesn't even want to see the queen? Speaking of which, I specially prepared a gift to visit her not long ago, but I didn't expect that. It happened that she was unwell. After the Queen Mother found out, she ordered me not to step into Duke Huai's mansion for half a step."

   "Princess Huai is so unreasonable?" A woman said indignantly on Yu Qing's behalf, "It's normal to be pregnant and have physical discomfort. How can she put the blame on the Fifth Emperor's body when she is not in good health?"

   Yu Qing showed a sad look on her face, and shook her hand as if she didn't want to say more: "Forget it, let's not mention this matter."

   "I thought that Princess Huai was someone I wanted to meet, but I didn't expect that she would be such a person."

  Yu Qing listened to them saying bad things about Su Ying one by one, her eyes showed a touch of pride, she pretended to bow her head to drink tea, hiding the joy in her eyes.

   At this moment, someone shouted: "The Queen is here."

   Everyone stood up and looked in the direction of the voice in unison.

   At the entrance of the imperial garden, the queen is dressed up, wearing the queen's bright yellow costume, with a phoenix-style headdress on her bun. It was surrounded by a group of palace servants.

   When she approached, everyone respectfully bowed to her: "See Empress, Empress Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose."

  The Queen's smile is graceful and luxurious, and there is not a single wrinkle on her well-maintained face.

   She sat down dignifiedly on the throne with the help of her grandmother, with royal majesty in her eyes, she raised her hand: "Everyone, please rise."

   Everyone thanked them and sat down.

  Yu Qing saw the queen coming, and a faint smile appeared on her bright red lips. She carried her skirt and walked towards the queen, and said something beside her ear.

The Queen    nodded after hearing this, with a satisfied smile on her face.

   Several female relatives around said in a low voice, "Look, the queen likes the fifth concubine very much."

   "That's right, Princess Huai is arrogant and domineering, while the Fifth Imperial Concubine is gentle and virtuous. She completely compares to her. Who doesn't like it?"

   "Not to mention, the fifth prince married a concubine last year, and there are quite a few concubines and concubines in the mansion. As for Duke Huai's mansion, there is not even a concubine."

   "Princess Huai is so powerful, and her methods are extraordinary."

   A woman with sharp eyes saw Ye Feibai walking in this direction, and hurriedly said, "Be quiet, His Royal Highness Duke Huai has brought the young prince and the second young master here."

   Everyone followed her line of sight, and saw Ye Feibai and two children walking towards this side with steady steps.

   He is tall and long, wearing a black brocade robe, and the neckline is embroidered with delicate patterns of gold and silver threads, which is dazzling under the sunlight.

   On that handsome face, there was a sharp eagle-like light in the phoenix eyes, and the bridge of the nose was high.

   He raised his arrogant chin slightly, exuding the dignity and domineering inherent in his body.

   A woman looked at Ye Feibai with admiration: "Duke Huai grew up and looked beautiful. If he was fortunate enough to marry him, it would be worth dying for."

   Someone chuckled: "I'm afraid that if you have a life to marry but not to enjoy it, I'm afraid that Princess Huai will kill you before you get married."

   The woman had a surprised look on her face: "It's so scary?"

   "If she wasn't scary, how could Duke Huai be the only woman?"
