The noble concubine, Lu, was sixty years old and had a daughter under her knees, who was Princess Luo'an.

In his early years, he raised the eldest prince Chunyu Ao until he was fifteen years old. After Chunyu Ao ascended the throne, he wanted to respect him as the empress dowager, but the Lü family refused, so he respected him as the noble concubine.

Every year, there will be a palace banquet for the birthday party of the noble concubine. This year, the noble concubine will have a birthday party of 60 years. According to Chunyu Ao's intention, it is necessary to hold it in a big way.

However, the imperial concubine did not advocate it, so she only held a palace banquet according to the rituals of previous years.

However, we must take the banquet with guests seriously. This year's birthday gift must be heavier than in previous years to show our feelings.

When the imperial concubine arrived, there were a long list of palace maids and eunuchs following behind her, and the formation was very strong. Until the palace staff stepped down, the palace maids retreated, leaving only two palace maids to follow her, and followed the imperial concubine in the middle of the high platform.

Chunyu Ao immediately stood up and bowed to the noble concubine.

The guests below also stood up and knelt down with the king.

Jun Mulin did not kneel down, but stood up. After all, he was an elder and he still needed basic etiquette.

Bai Heran was pulled and knelt down by Mrs. Meng. After all, she was Mrs. Meng's aunt and Princess Luo'an's biological mother. She should kneel down in terms of emotion and reason, so she didn't feel that it was too awkward.

For a moment, under the leadership of the king, the people in the entire palace shouted in unison: "The noble concubine was happy for thousands of years, and she had a long life!"

The noble concubine, Lu, looked down at the bottom, then looked at Chunyu Ao who was kneeling and following him, and said nothing, but only turned her eyes to Jun Mulin standing aside.

Her face, which was always tense and looked at Jun Mulin, was slightly loose when she looked at Jun Mulin, and she actually asked: "Is Lan'er's child okay?

I heard that she had engaged to you, and you, are you sincere to her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Bai Heran knelt down below and raised his head at once. He heard the concubine Gui wave at Jun Mulin and said, "Didn't you be shocked?

I shouldn't have asked this now, but I just heard that you were coming outside and couldn't help it.

I have never seen the daughter that Lan'er gave birth to, but when Lan'er was young, she would always come to me to play.

She has a good relationship with my daughter. They are sisters and play together almost every day.

Almost half of the meals were used in my palace since I was a child. Sometimes I would just sleep in my palace and chat with Huaner all the time.

The incident of your engagement with that child has long been passed on to Gebu. I heard that and I have been thinking about it all the time. Just now, I will ask."

Jun Mulin was stunned for a while and came to his senses. Although he didn't expect that the concubine would ask this question, he could also tell that the concubine really cared about their family Ranran and was really worried about Ranran's mother.

So he bowed to the concubine, gave a deep bow, and said, "I thank the concubine for her concern, everything is fine."

I, Dongqin, gave her the honor of the princess, gave her a fiefdom and built the princess's mansion.

This prince treats her sincerely."

Concubine Gui breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, that's good, then I'll feel relieved."

After saying that, he remembered the serious matter, so he bowed slightly and returned the gift, "Thank you, Prince Dongqin, for coming to celebrate my birthday for the old lady. The prince came from afar. Gebu was in a faraway place and welcomed him. I hope you can forgive me."

"Don't dare."

Jun Mulin said, "This prince came uninvited. I have many troubles. Please don't blame the concubine."

Concubine Gui smiled and shook her head, "No wonder, no wonder, as long as you can come, as long as you can come."

After saying that, he looked at Chun Yu Ao who was still kneeling on the ground. His face, which had finally had a little smile, sank again, and said lightly, "Get up!"

Then he said to the Lord Highness, "You all get up too! I have to hold my birthday party like this every year. There is nothing new. Whether this birthday celebration or not is a form, so you don't have to take it to heart.

Just listen to the song and dance, and leave the palace in two hours."

After saying that, Guangxiu waved his face and turned around and sat on the chair prepared for her.

Chunyu Ao did not get up immediately, knelt on the ground for a while, took a deep breath, stood up and silently sat back on the dragon throne.

The guests below also got up and sat back to their seats.

Everyone could feel that the concubine Gui was not in a good mood. In addition, she asked Prince Dong Qin about Chunyu Lan’s daughter as soon as she came up. This was obviously a slap in the face of the king! Who doesn’t know that what the king hates the most is anyone and matter related to the former prince, especially the sister who married Dong Qin far away, was even more thorny in the king’s eyes.

Some people can still remember that more than ten years ago, when the princess's death was sent back to Gebu, the king was happy to hold a banquet for three days.

But now, the noble concubine was enthusiastically asking Prince Dong Qin for the daughter of the princess in front of so many people on such occasions. How could the monarch love to hear these words?

The birthday party has become like this before it even started. How can we continue later?

Fortunately, the eunuch who was in charge of singing and dancing was very sensible. When he saw that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, he immediately let the drum music start.

With the drums and music, the delicacies were placed on the table like flowing water, and the dancer appeared gracefully, finally eased the embarrassment just now.

But it was only on the surface that no one could think that what had happened had happened. At least the face of the concubine was still calm, and the face of the king was also very bad.

It was the Prince of Dong Qin who was quite comfortable. He leaned in a chair, peeling the fruits of Gebu specialties in his hand, and kept sending them to the pile of female guests. From time to time, he even smiled at the corners of his lips, making the female guests all red with small faces and dared not raise their heads.

So many people made a conspiracy in their minds, what exactly did the prince of Dong Qin do?

Is the choice of concubine coming?

Didn’t this just say in front of the Concubine Gui and said that he was sincere to the Princess Tianci, why did he hook up in public in a blink of an eye?

The Concubine Gui also noticed it and was so angry that she felt that the prince was just perfunctory and was not very nice to the girl.

After a while, she clearly expressed her opinion that she was very worried about that child. After all, she was the birthday boy today. The prince of your East Gang came to Gebu's territory again. Should he give some face?

However, this face is really not given, which shows that not only did they not take the girl seriously, but also did not take the songbu seriously.

The concubine Gui's heart was depressed and her face became more and more gloomy.

Bai Heran also noticed the emotional changes of the concubine, and couldn't help but remind Jun Mulin with her lips: "Pay attention to the influence."

Jun Mulin replied to her: "I miss you."

She glanced at him, stopped looking at him, and just whispered to Mrs. Meng: "Mother, I don't seem to be very happy when I see my aunt."

Mrs. Meng sighed, "Oh, what year can I be happy about the birthday of my birthday? Your aunt didn't like to hold any birthday banquets. It was a must-have for the monarch, because he had to let everyone in the world know that he was a humane king, who valued feelings and knew filial piety. He was very kind to the adoptive mother of the noble concubine.

What can your aunt do?

Only cooperate.”

Bai Heran understood, and combined with the monarch who killed his own father and ascended the throne, he wanted to use the noble concubine to regain his reputation and let the people of Gebu know that he was still a person with feelings.

It's really interesting. My father was killed, my brother was locked in a death row for more than ten years, my nephew was also strangled in a cradle, my brother and sister were tortured, and my sister was forced to death in Dongqin... countless relatives died in his hands, what can I prove when holding an adoptive mother?

It is indeed impossible to prove anything. Chunyu Ao himself knows it well, but he still has to do it and do it well.

For the sake of this throne, he did everything he should and should not do, and he did not regret it.

But if he wants to sit on this throne for a long time and to have a history behind him, he must do many things on the surface.

For example, since ancient times, emperors have been benevolent and filial. He was not kind to his brothers and was not righteous to his father and was not filial to his father. Fortunately, he left him an adoptive mother, so he could offer him the adoptive mother and give him the supreme face. To the outside world, he was the king and did not forget the kindness of the noble concubine and respect him as his mother.

He has made this very well. After so many years of maintaining it, many people have believed in his respect for this concubine.

There are also many jokes about monarchs who value filial piety among the people, saying how the monarch respects the concubine and how he respects her. He even talks about his deep siblings with Princess Luo'an, the daughter of the concubine.

Including the Meng family, he was also close to and taken care of.

If it weren't for the fact that he killed his father and seized the throne too vigorously, he could have really become a benevolent and filial king praised by everyone through this noble concubine.

Unfortunately, that period of history is a stain that he can never wash away, and it is also an eternal memory in people's hearts.

Jun Mulin peeled another fruit, put it in his mouth and took a bite, shook his head, and said, "Sour."

Throw it aside.

Chunyu Ao glanced at the fruit. The fruit shape was circulating and red in green, which was the best fruit you could pick.

This green fruit is a specialty of Gebu. It only grows in the mountains near Fengxiangcheng. There are nineteen fruit trees, and each tree only bears less than thirty fruits every year.

Half of them are all green, very sour and basically cannot be eaten.

But half of it is red, which is very sweet and glutinous, and tastes particularly good.

This kind of fruit tree cannot be transplanted, it will die if it is dug out, and the fruit core cannot be planted again, and it cannot be planted anywhere.

Therefore, this kind of green fruit has become a very precious thing, which can only be seen at the royal palace banquet. Even Princess Shengyun's mansion only occasionally gives you a few gifts to try. The rest are collected in the palace, or they are sent to the noble concubine to show the king's attention to the concubine.

At today's birthday party, I specially brought out green fruits to treat guests, and not everyone can eat them.

As a guest, Jun Mulin picked the best fruit and put it in front of him, mainly because he was unwilling to give Gebu a loss.

Unexpectedly, the best fruit still felt sour when he got to his mouth. He took a bite and threw it aside, which made people's heart.

Chunyu Ao knew that Jun Mulin did it on purpose, but what could he say?

No matter how good the green fruit is, it is for Gebu. He really doesn’t like it when he goes to Dongqin, which is rich in land and wealth.

But from the perspective of the situation, the consequences are small, but there is one thing that is more serious than thousands of things.

He could not understand how the prince of Dong Qin entered Fengxiangcheng silently?
