Song Jinxiu looked at her mother worriedly.
Tian Xinghua froze, looked at her daughter and asked, "Is she the Grand Princess?"
Song Jinxiu nodded: "This man is just a mad dog, don't mind it, mother."
The eldest princess instigated Princess Kangning to go to the border to harm Su Mo, and she hadn't had time to settle the score with her yet. She didn't expect that she would even want to slander her mother.
snort! Just wait for me!
As expected, the eldest princess. Tian Xinghua bit her tongue and straightened her back.
She knew that her daughter's official position was envied by others, and the eldest princess had always been targeting her. He even wanted to kill his own young son.
This person is my enemy!
She couldn't be timid in front of her enemies. She patted her eldest daughter's hand and said, "Don't worry, mother is not afraid of her."
Perhaps she had met an enemy, and as a mother she was strong. Tian Xinghua was no longer panicked. Instead, she knelt down and kowtowed openly, holding her daughter in each hand, like a hen ready to fight.
"I, your concubine, respectfully wish the Queen Mother good fortune, prosperity, and a long life.
The Empress Dowager beckoned kindly, motioning her to come closer, and said, "Thank you, too, for bringing up Kang Le so well. You should be a role model for a mother!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Especially the eldest princess, her face was a little red, maybe because she was angry.
Song Jinxiu blinked and glanced at the Grand Princess, understanding.
It seems that the Queen Mother is deliberately teasing the Grand Princess.
You are allowed to make sarcastic remarks, but I will praise the people you look down upon!
It seemed that the Queen Mother disliked the Grand Princess very much, or the Grand Princess did something that the Queen Mother disliked very much, such as speaking rudely to her mother just now and trying to disrupt the Queen Mother's birthday party? Maybe there are other reasons.
But no matter what, with the Queen Mother's affirmation of my mother, my mother can truly straighten her back.
Song Jinxiu kowtowed three times to the Queen Mother with great gratitude.
After the audience with the ladies, the Queen Mother moved to the square. The sun was shining brightly, and the celebration officially began.
The cannons fired and the music played.
The emperor led all the military and civilian officials to gather in front of the palace to wish the empress dowager a long life.
The Emperor of Cangwu held the jade ruyi in his hand and bowed, saying: "Your son wishes your mother good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains." Then, all the ministers shouted, "Live a thousand years, the Queen Mother." The scene was solemn and dignified.
All the officials stood up, and the princes kowtowed again. Then Prince Wang Yin kowtowed with red eyes and a face full of admiration, "Mother, I miss you so much..."
Song Jinxiu choked: This Prince Yin, the scenes of brothers being friendly and respectful in the court have been replaced by "loving mother and filial son".
But this Prince Yin is quite handsome. Whether he is frowning or smiling, it is a pleasure to look at him.
How can this man be so handsome? Only Concubine Qi can compare with this appearance.
Huh? You know what, Prince Yin and Concubine Qi look quite similar.
She couldn't help but steal another glance at Concubine Qi, only to find that Concubine Qi was looking at Prince Yin tenderly.
gentle?
This icy beauty also has a gentle expression?
Song Jinxiu's heart couldn't help but move.
After Prince Yin and the Queen Mother finished their performance, they went to the foreign envoys to pay their respects.
They speak different dialects, poor Mandarin, and the same auspicious words.
People from Southern Xinjiang came in dancing.
Song Jinxiu stood up immediately.
This group of people are really restless, dancing and moving among the crowd. What are they trying to do?
"Jinfang, you protect mom, I have to go over there."
Song Jinfang said: "Don't worry, sister, I will always be with mother."
Leaving Su Chuan here to protect them, Song Jinxiu placed a peace amulet on each of her mother and sister, then quietly passed through the crowd and came to the emperor, always paying attention to the movements of the Saint Girl of Southern Xinjiang.
Staring at the actions of the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, Song Jinxiu instructed Eunuch Hai, "Remember the people that the people of Southern Xinjiang have come into contact with. Today, these people are not allowed to approach within five steps of His Majesty."
"Go," Eunuch Hai quickly ordered.
Qi Chenghua said: "I have ordered people to keep an eye on it."
The people of southern Xinjiang celebrated in various ways, but it was a safe event.
After the morning congratulations, the birthday banquet will begin.
The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was naturally decorated with lotus quilts, brocade tables, pearls and emeralds, and was extremely gorgeous.
After three rounds of drinking, the ladies from various families vied with each other to perform, and Song Jinfang was nominated to play a piece of zheng.
This time, perhaps without Princess Kangning's involvement, Cui Zixuan was not allowed to sit in the VIP seat. Among so many noble ladies and royal relatives, no one dared to provoke Song Jinxiu.
Even Chen Yaer sat properly and was very honest.
Song Jinxiu sat on the female guest side to accompany her mother. She seemed to be ignored, but she was also happy.
Tian Xinghua looked at her younger daughter who was surrounded and laughing by a group of little sisters, and then looked at her older daughter who was drinking alone with a calm face, and her heart ached.
After so many days in Beijing, I already have one or two close friends, not to mention my younger daughter. I even have several close friends, but my eldest daughter, is she so lonely?
"Jinxiu, do you want to talk to them?"
Tian Xinghua pointed at the girls.
Song Jinxiu shook her head. "They are not afraid of me at all. I don't have much to say to them."
All she was thinking about now was the emperor's safety.
In fact, the Saint of Southern Border is not scary. She can also cure the poisonous insect. That's why she takes it so seriously. She always feels uneasy, as if something bad will happen.
She couldn't figure it out, so she could only be on guard at all times.
Just when Tian Xinghua was feeling sorry for her daughter having no friends, Lu Qiaoshou, the Minister of Industry, came over, stroking his gray beard.
Tian Xinghua quickly stood up to greet him, and Lu Qiaoshou quickly bowed in return, then said to Song Jinxiu, "Princess, Lord Wei and the others are welcome."
Song Jinxiu looked over, only to see the Left Prime Minister Wei Zhen and the old prince Hexian waving at him.
Song Jinxiu had no choice but to get up, say hello to her mother, and go over.
It turned out that the noble lady presented her painting and asked Song Jinxiu to be the judge.
"Princess, aren't you bored sitting with a bunch of women? We've been calling you for a long time. What's the matter? Do women's sweet wine tastes better?"
Everyone: Old Prince, don’t you have poor eyesight? Princess Kang Le is also a girl, okay?
As the old prince Hexian said this, he said to the young eunuch behind him, "Let's go to Songhua Courtyard. I'll bury a jar of good wine under the crooked pine tree."
As he said this he said with emotion: "Then I buried it when I was a child. Go dig it out. Today we will get drunk with the princess."
"The old prince's wine is excellent."
Wei Zhen looked at Song Jinxiu and asked in a low voice: "Princess, can you bring me some hangover pills?"
Jin Yaotang's hangover pills have been out of stock since the war in southern Xinjiang began. However, Princess Kangle is the owner of Jin Yaotang.
Although today was the auspicious day of the Queen Mother's birthday, the negotiations in Southern Xinjiang had come to an end, and the foreign nations were waiting eagerly to watch the fun. How could he dare to drink?
However, if you want the hangover pills from Jinyaotang, it’s okay to drink two cups, and it can also confuse the people in southern Xinjiang.
If the negotiation goes smoothly after drinking, it will be a relief.
Song Jinxiu glanced at the table in Nanjiang, smiled and whispered, "Don't worry, old man, drink. I guarantee you won't get drunk even if you drink a thousand cups. The more you drink, the more energetic you will be."
When the Minister of War Zhou Kunran heard this, he also came over and said, "Hey, Jin Yaotang's hangover pills? Princess, since we are officials in the same dynasty, you can't be partial to one over the other. I don't want many, two is enough."
Tian Xinghua felt mixed emotions when she saw her daughter surrounded by a group of skinny old men.
Her daughter is only fourteen years old.
Fourteen years old is the age when girls in the boudoir are carefree, playing together, talking about rouge and powder, and talking about gorgeous clothes and hairpins.
But her daughter had no female companions around her, only a group of old men.
Look at these old men, they are so wretched that Tian Xinghua couldn't help but cover her eyes and couldn't bear to look at them.
Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded, "Don't you think Kang Le has no manners? Does he have no self-discipline? Is he as ashamed to face people as you are?"
