Chapter 68
Yelu Honghua patted its little head, and said softly, "Good boy, your mother just forgot to take her medicine again."

Yan Xiaoxiao: "..."

"Yelu Honghua, you are not ashamed, you really agreed to call your father? You city people are so unprincipled!" Yan Xiaoxiao pursed her cherry red lips angrily, and suddenly thought of something, her eyes rolled Gu Lulu turned around, "Qibao will follow me these few days, I have a task for him to do."

A bad feeling suddenly surged in Qibao's heart, and he retracted his wings to wrap his little head, "Mother, I don't want to listen, I'm just a child!"

"..." Yan Xiaoxiao slipped it out of Yelu Honghua's arms, "If you don't listen, you have to listen, this matter is up to you."

Qibao drooped his little head, looking pitiful, "Okay, I'm going to let you be my mother, tell me, what do you want Qibao to do?"

Yan Xiaoxiao chuckled, "I want you to help me keep an eye on Princess De'an and report her movements at any time, is there any problem?"

Yelu Honghua frowned, and looked at her strangely, "Why are you paying attention to this Princess De'an? Do you have any grudge against her?"

Yan Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, and a flash of hatred flashed in her eyes, "Of course there is a grudge, but it's still a big one. It's either her death or mine!"

"You..." Yelu Honghua wanted to say something, thought for a while, opened his mouth but finally said nothing, just sighed: "Be careful, remember what I said, I will help you, if If you can’t figure it out, you must tell me.”

Although he didn't know the reason why Yan Xiaoxiao did this, but judging by her appearance, I'm afraid she really had a grudge with Princess De'an.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that the Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, and the birthday parties from allied countries have arrived one after another. Please, all wives above the imperial order, enter the palace by order to entertain the female relatives from all over the world who came to celebrate the birthday. This is yours!"

There are still a few days before the queen mother's birthday, but the birthday celebration groups sent by various countries have arrived ahead of schedule. This time, as the queen said that day, there are not only the birthday celebration group, but also the accompanying female family members.

The birthday celebration group from Yuanling Kingdom also entered the palace. To Yan Xiaoxiao's delight, the birthday celebration group from Yuanling Kingdom was led by the Eighth Prince Yelu Tianlan, and Princess Yuqing was also with her. The bad news is——

Yan Caidie, who is the prospective eighth concubine, is also among them.

"Mother, why are you listless!" Qibao fluttered a pair of small wings and flew in front of Yan Xiaoxiao. Its little head can't think of so many things, and it can't understand why Yan Xiaoxiao was fine a few days ago. Yes, it suddenly became unpleasant.

Yan Xiaoxiao lay down on the stone table and sighed, "Ah... upset..."

Qibao racked its brains for a long while, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "Mother, don't you miss Daddy? Daddy is only leaving temporarily, and we will see each other in a few days."

"Don't talk nonsense, who is your father!" Yan Xiaoxiao suddenly blushed, and pretended to be fierce and scolded Qibao with a straight face, but there was no majesty at all.

"Mother is so stingy. Daddy treats you so well, but you don't recognize his identity. If you let Daddy know, you will die of grief!" Qibao hummed, and was attracted by the butterflies flying in the yard. Attracted, in a blink of an eye, he flew to catch the butterfly.

Yan Xiaoxiao's hair is full of black lines, and sometimes she really suspects that this little thing is her nemesis, sent by the heavens to torture her.

Yelu Honghua didn't know how to control...

Thinking of Yelu Honghua, Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but let out another long sigh.

Some time ago, Yelu Honghua stayed with her for more than half a month. Although she was not discovered by others, it always made her nervous, and she couldn't even sleep well at night.

Of course she would not believe Yelu Honghua's words, thinking that he was really just here to punish her, Yelu Honghua has never been such a boring person, he should have his own reasons for hiding in the palace.

If he didn't tell, she didn't bother to ask.

Anyway, the two of them had their own secrets in their hearts, and they lived together in a palm-sized room for more than half a month. He didn't leave until the Yuanling Kingdom's birthday celebration team was about to enter Beijing, and went to join Yelu Tianlan .

Today is the day when envoys from all countries come to the palace to celebrate their birthdays. As a painter, Yan Xiaoxiao was not remembered by anyone, and she has no part in this kind of banquet.

But I don't know what the emperor thought, he suddenly thought of Yan Xiaoxiao, and specially sent a eunuch to pass the message, asking her to attend the banquet at night.

How dare Yan Xiaoxiao go!

Many acquaintances came to Yuanling Kingdom this time. If she really went, her false identity would be discovered, and her plan would no longer be able to proceed.

"Miss Hua, this servant is just a messenger. This is an order from the Holy Majesty. If the Majesty tells you to go, you can go. Is it possible that you can resist the order?" Yan Xiaoxiao just expressed to the eunuch who sent the message that she did not want to participate. The wish was pushed back by the little eunuch with one sentence.

Resist...

The hat was big enough, and now she had to.

Yan Xiaoxiao learned a lesson at the weak crown ceremony of Yelu Tianlan in Yuanling Kingdom last time, and this time she no longer deliberately pursues simplicity, because she already understands that among a group of colorful women, if she dresses too plainly, it will attract attention. people pay attention.

She wore a lavender metasequoia in a regular manner, applied light makeup on her face, and covered most of her face with a veil as always.It is no different from the usual dress.

Under the leadership of the serving maids, they arrived at the meeting place. Sure enough, many imperial wives, concubines and concubines arrived at the scene. The venue of the banquet was set at Feiyun Palace, which was decorated and arranged early in the morning, making it look beautiful.

Yan Xiaoxiao found a seat in the back row and sat down casually.

"The empress dowager is here! The emperor is here! The empress is here!" With the chief eunuch singing loudly, the eunuch who followed the three masters blew his horns. The emperor supported the empress dowager with his left hand and the queen with his right hand, and shouted long live three times In the middle, he walked towards his dragon chair step by step.

The Queen Mother sits on the left and the Empress sits on the right.

The chairs of the two were slightly lower than the emperor's, but the three of them were a real family.

Yan Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered her previous life.

If she is still alive, she should have a place of her own beside the empress. Whenever there is any activity in the palace, she always sits like this, sometimes acting like a baby, and even with her father Sitting on his dragon chair, whenever someone questioned or felt something was wrong, she would have all kinds of ways to shut him up.

At that time, I was really arrogant and domineering.

Also ridiculously naive.

Now, things are different, that position no longer belongs to her, and the fake Princess De'an did not appear today.

Envoys from various countries were brought in one after another.

The ones who walked in the front were the envoys of the Yuanling Kingdom, the crown prince Yelu Honghua and the eighth prince Yelu Tianlan walked in the front, followed by several female relatives and accompanying adjutants.

Yan Xiaoxiao shrank her neck, trying her best to hide her body behind the heads of other people.

"Yuanling Kingdom came to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother of Dongchen Kingdom, and wish the Queen Mother a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan!" Yelu Honghua's familiar voice came loudly, and the Qibao hidden in Yan Xiaoxiao's sleeve violently moved a few times inside. Down.

Yan Xiaoxiao hurriedly patted its small body through the sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Don't move, be careful that someone finds out and skewers you into food."

Qibao seemed to be frightened by Yan Xiaoxiao's words, and slowly calmed down, hiding in her sleeves and making no further movements.

"Hahahaha, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yuanling Kingdom, right? He is indeed a young talent, with the demeanor of your father!" The appearance of Yelu Honghua stunned the emperor for a moment, but he soon came back to his senses Come.

Yelu Honghua clasped his fists and smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, I've always heard your father mention you and things about you when you were young. Whenever I heard my father talk about it, Honghua wished that she could be born a few years earlier."

"Hahaha, Honghua can really talk!" The emperor laughed heartily again, and turned to look at Yelu Tianlan beside Yelu Honghua, "This must be the youngest prince of Yuanling Kingdom, the Eighth Prince, right? "

Yelu Tianlan was called out, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Yes, Tianlan has seen His Majesty."

"That's right, that's right. The princes of Yuanling Kingdom are all handsome and extraordinary. They are indeed dragons and phoenixes among the people. I am a little jealous."

The emperor and the brothers exchanged a few words of greeting, and then waved their hands, "Give me a seat."

Emperor Dongchen exchanged greetings with the envoys from various countries one by one, and the banquet began after everyone was seated.

This banquet was different from the previous ones.

Because of the addition of the female family members, the originally tall banquet suddenly seemed softer and homely. However, it was precisely because of the female family members that the atmosphere of the entire banquet was more harmonious.

When men get together, they are not talking about political affairs, wine, women, or martial arts moves, but there are many topics for women to get together.

A lady with children shows off her children, a newly married bride shows off her love and favor, and a girl who has not left the cabinet will be better than one or two in the family of birth. There is a saying that goes well, where there are women, there are grievances and disputes , these women, each of them is not a fuel-efficient lamp, talking and laughing, pointing and scolding Huai with guns and sticks, and smiling so much that you can't get angry.

What Yan Xiaoxiao dislikes the most is this kind of occasion called a dinner party, which is actually an occasion for comparison and embarrassment.

She is not easy to get along with, she thinks that she is upright and not harsh in life, and her personality is not bad, but she is a little arrogant in her heart, and she has a kind of "aunt is the queen" , you are all idiots".

She despises these vulgar and philistine women with mean faces.

No matter in the previous life or in this life, she is unwilling to deal with such a person, because she is lazy, and she is too lazy to deal with unimportant people.

So, after the banquet started, everyone else gathered in twos and threes to chat and laugh, but she was the only one sitting in the corner and eating seriously.

Well, this stewed lion head is more delicious than before. It seems that the craftsmanship of the Imperial Dining Room is getting better and better...

Also, the taste of this almond bergamot is not the same as the previous one. I don’t know if the cook has changed...

Although her movements were not rude when eating, she was very serious, her eyes only had room for the food in front of her, like a kitten protecting food.

"Which family is this lady? Why is she hiding here alone to enjoy leisure?" While eating happily, a familiar voice suddenly came from above her head, Yan Xiaoxiao looked up subconsciously, and suddenly felt a thump in her heart— —

The person in front of him was none other than the Eighth Prince Yelu Tianlan who hadn't seen him for several months.

"My little girl has met His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince." Yan Xiaoxiao got up, slightly bent her knees, and made a very standard salute, her voice could also be lowered and hoarse.
