Tian's little cook

Chapter 1275
Empress Dowager Wu's birthday banquet was held in Hanyuan Hall.

The House of Internal Affairs started preparations very early, and the hall was completely decorated according to the Queen Mother Wu's preferences, very elegant and luxurious.

At first, Empress Dowager Wu was a little dissatisfied when she heard that the venue of the birthday banquet was chosen in Hanyuan Hall, because since Lin Zhimo held a banquet here on the Qianqiu Festival three years ago, Hanyuan Hall has been vacant and has not been used again.

Later, the Ministry of Internal Affairs explained that the emperor chose this place specially considering that there were many people coming to the birthday banquet, and the Hanyuan Hall was spacious enough to build a stage that the queen mother liked, and the queen mother agreed.

A stage has been set up not far from the main seat of Hanyuan Hall. Empress Dowager Wu has fallen in love with watching operas in recent years, so the House of Internal Affairs naturally chose the best opera troupe to come to the capital to celebrate her birthday.

The court ministers came one after another. Accompanied by Su Jixun, Wu Yuanyin walked into the Hanyuan Hall, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Su Jixun retreated to the side, with a smile on his face, but looked on coldly.

While talking, the eunuch notified the queen mother and the emperor to arrive, and everyone immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Get up." Empress Dowager Wu was dressed in the latest fancy clothes, standing on the left and right with Wu Yuyan and Yuan Xue, in a very good mood, "My lords, don't be polite today, just come to have a meal with Ai's family .”

"See the Empress Dowager." Wu Yuanyin walked in front of her and knelt down again, "I respectfully wish the Empress Dowager a birthday, and wish the Empress Dowager live longer than Nanshan and be as blessed as the East China Sea."

Seeing Wu Yuanyin, Empress Dowager Wu was even happier, and helped him up personally, "I haven't seen you for many years, brother, you can come today, the Ai family will be happy."

"Father." Wu Yaoyan called happily, turned her head slightly and glanced at Yuan Xue, intending to show off.

How Yuan Xue didn't know, she just pretended she didn't see it.

The open and secret struggle between the two began three years ago after Yuan was conferred the title of imperial concubine. As long as anyone has the upper hand, Huangfu will always favor the other side, so now no one has brought the other down, and no one has accepted the other. .

Yuan Xue pouted the corners of her lips in disdain, Wu Yuanyin is just a martial artist, and finally came to the capital to see the emperor, unlike her father who stayed in the capital, and if he wanted to see the emperor, he would see the emperor. The emperor's attention.

At the beginning of this year, Huangfu even handed over Qiuwei to Yuanshen, which aroused the jealousy of many ministers.

Although Qiu Wei was recruiting talents for the imperial court, the examiners were often the masters of the selected people, and these people would consciously stand in Yuan Shen's team and be used by him.

Therefore, Yuan Shen's sphere of influence in the imperial court will further increase.

Even if Wu Yaoyan lives in Changle Palace and has the full support of Empress Dowager Wu, Yuan Xue will not feel that she will definitely lose.Who wins the deer and who wins the position of queen depends on who has the last laugh.

"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time, is everything okay?" Huangfuchu greeted.

"Please trouble the emperor for your concern. Everything is fine with me." Wu Yuanyin was a little proud. Huangfu didn't call him general on this occasion, but called him uncle, which showed that the relationship was more intimate.

"It's my mother's birthday today, and you just came to Beijing, so I didn't let you enter the palace." Huangfu Chu said with a smile: "When the day is free, uncle, you can come to the palace at any time to meet with the mother, and you will still have Xiaoyan to reminisce about the past. .”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission." Wu Yuanyin thanked.

"We're all a family, why be so polite." Huangfu Chu smiled and glanced at Xiao Guangxin.

Xiao Guangxin understood, and raised his voice, "The queen mother, emperor, concubine and general are invited to be seated, the birthday will begin soon."

After being seated, Yuan Xue looked around and suddenly found that her father hadn't come yet.
