The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 76
Since the Fu family received the invitation from the noble concubine, they arrived at the palace earlier than other families who came to celebrate the queen mother's birthday and their daughters, and there were already eunuchs waiting. Seeing the Fu family's carriages and horses stopped, they immediately stepped forward A total of four people, Mrs. Fu, Mrs. Xie, sisters Fu Rushuang and Fu Xuechen, were welcomed into the palace gate.

In Yanning Palace, Concubine Xie Guifei formally received Mr. Fu Laofeng and Mrs. Xie, and Fu Rushuang and Fu Xuechen met together.

"This is Fu Yuchen's twin sister, Fu Xuechen!" Concubine Xie showed affection, and she asked Fu Xuechen to approach her, and she reached out to hold Fu Xuechen's soft hands.

"Yes, Concubine Meng's love is wrong, Xuechen is terrified." Fu Xuechen said in a weak and humble voice, while curiously took the opportunity to sneak a few glances at Concubine Xie, and finally knew why Yunzuo was so handsome. Inherited the mother's appearance characteristics!More like a concubine than an emperor.

Concubine Xie held Fu Xuechen's little hand and looked at her again and again. She had a feeling that the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She asked the maid beside her to present a beaded chain with a white suet jade pendant, and gave Fu Xuechen a meeting gift. Fu Rushuang a pearl chain.

Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Xie declined and thanked her, and Concubine Xie smiled gently and said, "Since your family Yuchen has accompanied my family Zuo'er, she has always done her best in everything she does. The rather worrying birthday celebration was also solved by the suggestion of Yuchen's child. It is not convenient for me to see foreign men, so I can only see you. The child deserves it."

Concubine Xie was even considerate of the inconvenience of Fu Xuechen's "unhealed leg injury", and even though the two sides didn't have much time to meet and chat, she gave Fu Xuechen an embroidered pier to sit behind Xie.

Fu Xuechen was like Fu Rushuang, she could only listen to the adult's chat in silence, but after hearing this, she found out that Mrs. Fu didn't talk much, she only respected Concubine Xie Guifei, but Mrs. Xie was able to chat with the two of them because she was of the same clan as Concubine Xie. His ancestors were able to recognize a distant cousin, which brought them closer.

During the period, Concubine Xie really talked about wanting to set up a mahjong game in the palace and invited Fu Laofeng and Mrs. Xie to play together in the palace. Mrs. Xie was quite happy to meet the nobleman's interest, as if she was always on call.

Concubine Xie's invitation was originally focused on the sister Xie of the same clan, so she smiled and respected Mrs. Fu's choice, but with a few words with Xie, she made an appointment for the next time she entered the palace for a mahjong game.

Fortunately, Yunzuo is not in the Yanning Palace at the moment, and is probably still in the prince's place. Fu Xuechen thought boredly, before coming here, he was worried about meeting Yunzuo at Concubine Xie Guifei's place, and wondered if he could fool the other party's eyes !
There is a high probability that it is possible, because Fu Xuechen in women's clothing and Fu Xuechen in men's clothing have different makeup on the facial features. Women's clothing is thinly applied with makeup, while men's clothing is basically plain, with only some imitation makeup adjustments.

After chatting peacefully and harmoniously for a while, and looking at the time, Concubine Xie ordered the four of the Fu family to be led out of Yanning Palace and returned to Renshou Palace where the Empress Dowager was.

The inside and outside of the front hall of Renshou Palace are filled with tables and chairs. The inside of the hall belongs to the harem concubines and royal family members. The outside of the hall is arranged according to the rank of princes and princes.

As the hour drew near, almost all the female guests who were supposed to come had arrived, and the four of the Fu family also found their own seats under the guidance of the little eunuch.

There is still a long distance from the front hall of Renshou Palace, and I can't see the movement in the hall clearly. I can only listen to the eunuchs at the gate of the hall. Your Majesty, I wish the Empress Dowager a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity longer than Nanshan."

This is all the birthday celebration process that you have learned in advance, and everyone salutes with the ceremonial officer and it's over.

Immediately afterwards, starting from the queen, the imperial concubines, concubines, princesses and other royal family members celebrated their birthdays in order and presented congratulatory gifts, while the many wives outside the palace could only respectfully watch the ceremony outside, listening to the eunuchs at the gate of the palace. It is reported that so and so congratulated the Queen Mother on her birthday, and what gifts were sent.

Only the family members of the princes who are close to the palace gate can see the movement in the palace relatively clearly. The four of the Fu family are a little far away, so they can't see clearly. As for the congratulatory gifts they gave, they are not qualified to let the queen mother see them one by one. It can only be handed over to the eunuch in charge of the Renshou Palace who is in charge of receiving the gift, and after registering it, let the Queen Mother take a look at it.

The weather in April is still a bit cold, and the temperature will drop several degrees after the sun sets. Fortunately, everyone has experience and wears thicker clothes. Even if you stand in the open space in front of the temple, it is not easy to catch cold, let alone the entire front of the temple. The vast courtyard is brightly lit everywhere, conveying the heat of candles invisibly.

The birthday celebration process in the hall was finally completed, and the eunuch at the gate of the hall announced loudly: "The ceremony is over—a banquet—" The eunuchs who had been waiting around for a long time took action one after another, and began to pour all kinds of steaming drinks and dishes Sent to various desk cases.

Fu Xuechen felt that the cultures are indeed interlinked. Even if the time and space are changed, some etiquettes are slightly different, but the atmosphere of the festive birthday banquet is still too similar!

The table for the birthday banquet was quite large, and one table could accommodate eight to 12 people. The four members of the Fu family gathered around the table with the other two families who were also marquis-level feudal wives. Coincidentally, those two families happened to be Guan Enming. The female family members of the Guan family, and the female family members of the Zhang family of Zhang Chuyang.

Mrs. Fu and the old lords of the Guan and Zhang families, and Mrs. Xie and the wives of the Guan and Zhang families are also quite familiar with each other. It is obvious that they have been arranged to gather at the same table to drink together more than once, and they chatted quite well. fiery.

Mrs. Guan brought two concubine daughters, one fifteen and one fourteen, who were obviously not siblings of the same mother as her son Guan Enming, and Fu Xuechen was not familiar with them, but Fu Rushuang knew them quietly They also chatted with each other.

Mrs. Zhang brought Zhang Chuyang's direct sister, who was sixteen this year, because of the age gap, she was also not familiar with Fu Xuechen who had just been brought out by her mother to see the world, and she was not close to Fu Rushuang.

Fu Xuechen found that he didn't have any friends to chat with, so depressed, he could only compete with the food in front of him, focusing on eating and drinking. Fortunately, the dishes in the palace were not as bad as imagined. It is better to keep the heat, and it tastes delicious.

She focused on eating and drinking, so she couldn't help eating and drinking before everyone else. In the end, she had to put down her chopsticks and sip the hot soup bit by bit, while the rest of the tablemate, the fastest one, hadn't even eaten half of it yet.

At this moment, a small figure suddenly walked quickly from the side, stood behind Fu Xuechen, suddenly opened his mouth, and asked in surprise and hesitation: "You, are you sister Xuechen from the Fu family?"
