Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

When Xiao Zuochen returned to the hall again, the hall was almost full of people.

"Your Highness Prince Yun!"

Everyone bowed again, Xiao Zuochen nodded and returned to his seat. At this time, Prince Qing, the Third Prince and the Fourth Princess were already sitting in their seats, and Xiao Zuochen also greeted them. Especially the Third Prince, Xiao Zuochen raised the wine glass beside him and toasted him, the Third Prince smiled and actually returned the toast.

The crowd below was watching what was happening on the stage, somewhat incredulous.

When will Prince Yun and the Third Prince be able to drink together calmly?

The ministers here had one more topic to talk about, and the wives of the families over there had already started to help their daughters to dress up, hoping to win the favor of His Royal Highness Prince Yun or the Third Prince. Why in the eyes of the wives, the Third Prince could be compared with Prince Yun, because one was the legitimate son, and the other was the emperor's beloved son, and both had the opportunity to inherit the throne.

As for looks, although the Third Prince was not as good-looking as Prince Yun, Queen Baiyu was also a beauty after all, so the Third Prince would not be any worse. So some young ladies really liked the Third Prince.

Just as everyone was whispering to each other, the young eunuch outside the door suddenly shouted loudly.

"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived!——"

Everyone stood up and knelt down the moment they saw the corner of the emperor's clothes.

"Long live my emperor, long live my queen, and my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen, my queen."

The emperor and the empress walked to the seats above before speaking.

"Everyone, stand up~"

Everyone sat down and looked up, only to find that the Seventh Prince had also come along.

"Seventh brother, go sit in your own seat."

The emperor asked the seventh prince who was standing between him and the queen to leave.

"No, Father. I want to be near you and Mother."

Who can not love a naughty boy acting like a spoiled brat?

"Go down."

But the emperor just doesn't love him. His attitude towards the seventh prince is even worse than that towards the third prince.

Seeing his father chasing him away with an expressionless face, the Seventh Prince had no choice but to go down obediently. However, when he lowered his head, a ferocious look appeared on his face. After sitting down, he turned back into the well-behaved and lovely Seventh Prince.

The emperor raised his head and glanced around. The hall was already full. He picked up the wine poured by the maid in front of him.

"My dear ministers, today is the annual Qiqiao Palace Banquet, and we will not discuss political affairs. This palace banquet is supervised by my beloved daughter Jinhuan. If you have any problems that need to be solved, you can find her."

The emperor finished speaking and looked at his daughter. Xiao Jinhuan also stood up and spoke to everyone present.

"My Lords, Madams, Young Masters and Young Ladies, this palace banquet is hosted by me based on the palace banquets hosted by my mother in previous years. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

As soon as the fourth princess finished her words, a group of flattering adults began their performance.

"This palace banquet is well decorated~"

"The Fourth Princess was taught by the Queen, that's for sure!"

"Yes, the Fourth Princess has always been very cautious in her actions."

"..."

Although everyone was flattering the Fourth Princess, it was also a disguised way of praising the Emperor and the Empress, so those in power were naturally happy.

The emperor glanced at the queen and motioned for her to speak. The queen looked at the people below and pulled out a phoenix pearl hairpin from her head with one hand. This was the one she wore on her wedding day. The phoenix on the hairpin was wearing pearls and swayed slightly with her steps.

"My dear ministers and ladies, I have long heard that you young ladies are very talented. Today, I would like to offer this phoenix pearl hairpin as a prize. I wonder who would like to perform first."

When the queen said this, all the ladies were very excited. Everyone knew that the third prince had reached the right age for marriage, and now the queen had used the phoenix pearl hairpin as a prize, the meaning of which was self-evident.

But! No one wants to be the first to perform. Although the first person to perform will impress the queen, who will remember what she performed in the end? It's just that she has a reputation of being courageous.

Just when everyone was hesitating and blaming each other, a report came from outside the hall, and the voice of the young eunuch who made the report was obviously excited.

"The royal concubine has arrived——"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"What! Imperial Concubine? Which Imperial Concubine?"

"Which other imperial concubine could there be in the palace? Any one of them!"

"Is it the Concubine Yun that no one has seen? Isn't she going to see people?"

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, look at the emperor..."

Not only the people, but also the emperor was no less shocked than anyone else. He had already stood up from the back of his chair. He couldn't even believe what he had just heard. Concubine Yun was willing to leave the yard! ? Standing up with him was Xiao Zuochen. My mother actually stepped out of the yard!

The queen on the side had an unpleasant look on her face. Although the banquet was organized by the fourth princess, she used the phoenix pearl hairpin as the prize, so naturally everyone's attention was on her. But now Concubine Yun was just attending the palace banquet, and she couldn't even compare to her in terms of the phoenix pearl hairpin. How could she not be angry?

Just as everyone was thinking about their own things, a woman in a light blue gown had already stepped into the hall. At a glance, people in the hall could hear people gasping for air. The woman in front of them had delicate skin. Facing the sunlight outside the hall, she seemed to have a spiritual aura. She looked to be in her early twenties. When she looked around, she had a sense of elegance and nobility. Although she was wearing a plain gown and lightly made up, she still couldn't hide her beautiful face.

No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Yun is so handsome. No wonder the Emperor loves Prince Yun. No wonder there is only one Imperial Concubine in the harem after so many years. No wonder the Emperor is so out of control at this moment.

Everyone knew that the emperor had always had a concubine named Yun in his heart, but how high her status was was only guessed by the people who came down from the Yunwang Palace. But now, when Concubine Yun stepped into the palace, everyone knew it in their hearts.

"My beloved concubine~"

The emperor called out tentatively, and everyone held their breath, afraid that any sound would ruin the emperor's mood.

But Concubine Yun did not reply to the emperor's words. Instead, she walked to the center of the hall, turned around slightly, and looked at the people around her. Everyone was swept by Concubine Yun's cold eyes, and they all lowered their heads quickly as if they were electrocuted. Only Concubine Yun's cold voice rang out in the hall.

"Why don't you kneel down and salute?"

Everyone was shocked, and then they realized that they had not saluted Concubine Yun yet. After all, they had never seen the legendary Concubine Yun in all these years, let alone saluted her. Now that they saw her, they were amazed again, and for a moment they even forgot about etiquette.

"Hurry up and salute!"

The emperor also joined in, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed in panic.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

Everyone bowed their heads and waited quietly for the Imperial Concubine to speak, but they didn't hear her speak for a long time. Some brave people looked up and saw that the Emperor had already come down from the dragon throne, walked to the side of Imperial Concubine Yun with a flattering smile, and helped her sit on his dragon throne. When some ministers saw the Emperor's smile, they suddenly thought of how they usually talked to the Emperor.

"No gift~"

After Concubine Yun sat down, she finally spoke.

Everyone stood up and saw Concubine Yun sitting upright on the dragon throne, while the emperor was standing on the right. The queen on the left also looked very unhappy. The emperor asked Concubine Yun to sit on the dragon throne, and she had no objection, but the emperor was standing at this time. As the queen, she should let the emperor sit down, but Concubine Yun did not let the emperor sit with her. Could it be that she, the queen, should give up her seat to the emperor and then stand beside him like a maid?

Just as the Queen was twisting her handkerchief, unsure whether she should speak, the Emperor spoke first.

"Someone, bring a chair. I want to sit next to my beloved concubine!"

Everyone is ashamed, their emperor is really a licker of the imperial concubine~
