The palace banquet was about to begin, and all the courtiers, ladies and ladies consciously ended their conversations and took their seats in twos and threes.
Qiao Jiaojiao nestled in Mrs. Qiao's arms and began to nibble on her cookies again.
[It’s going to be a melon-eating party in a while. You have to eat and drink enough to have the energy to complain! 】
While everyone was whispering, suddenly a long chant sounded from outside the hall:
"The Emperor has arrived, the Queen has arrived, and His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived!"
When the people in the temple heard this, they stood up and knelt down to worship.
Qiao Jiao was lying in a small ball on the soft cushion, and Mrs. Qiao put her in a prostrate position.
Qiao Jiaojiao: "..."
Originally, except for the young prince and princess, it was difficult to bring such young children to the Tian family's banquet.
It was the Queen Mother who made a special decree that Mrs. Qiao must bring Qiao Jiaojiao.
Qiao Jiaojiao felt happy in her heart.
[Thanks to the Queen’s favor, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to come to this palace banquet, and Silly Baitian might die inexplicably! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was thinking wildly when suddenly a pair of hands grabbed her armpits and hugged her up.
Qiao Jiaojiao raised her head in confusion, and was sent into the Empress' arms by a female envoy.
"Flat body."
Emperor Yong's deep voice sounded, and everyone stood up and sat upright. When they raised their heads, they were immediately startled.
Is it possible that the youngest daughter of the Qiao family is trying to please the Queen like this?
Sitting openly in the Queen’s arms at the palace banquet, what a favor it must be!
Qiao Jiaojiao first smiled sweetly at the Queen.
[Wow, the Queen’s complexion is getting better and better! He looks much younger than when we first met! 】
The queen couldn't hear Jiaojiao's thoughts, but she felt that the child was more and more rare because of its fair and tender appearance, especially its bright eyes.
Qiao Jiaojiao sat on the passenger seat, raised her eyes and looked down, suddenly feeling like she was looking at all the mountains.
She looked around. On the left was the prince, followed by the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince and the two princesses.
On the right are three concubines. As for who they are, Qiao Jiaojiao really doesn't know their names.
However, the concubine on the tail seat was really beautiful, which even surprised Qiao Jiaojiao.
She had some vague guesses about the identity of this concubine.
[Don’t worry, so many people showed up at once, let me take a good look! 】
[Well... let’s take a look at the third prince who appears for the first time. 】
The third prince sat on the right side of the second prince. His face was pale and his lips lacked color, and he seemed to be born weak.
But there are no ugly people in the Tian family. The third prince is thin, with delicate eyebrows and a gentle complexion. He is also a handsome man.
The third prince Shen Yuanjing and the second princess Shen Yuanbi were both descended from Concubine Jing, making them an extremely rare twin.
It's a pity that the third prince was not pregnant enough, so he was extremely thin when he was born, and he almost died.
Even though he has grown up well now, he still has some problems that are difficult to cure.
It is said that when he was overly excited, he would fall to the ground uncontrollably, convulse and vomit, and he was physically weak and had constant ailments.
On the contrary, the second princess is very healthy, just like an ordinary child.
[The third prince doesn’t have many scenes, but there is no doubt that he is on the prince’s side. 】
[Perhaps he was not destined for the throne by nature, but his temperament is more free and easy. 】
[After the sudden death of the prince, the third prince appeared in the court for the first time to support the emperor's grandson, the prince's son, to succeed as the crown prince. 】
[Of course, this proposal was rejected by the Dog Emperor on his own in the end, and the third prince had no part in the scene at all, and the ending was not even mentioned! 】
[Tsk, couldn't it be... that he was killed quietly? 】
Qiao Jiaojiao also made a wild guess. When she saw the silent and dignified third prince, she could only sigh secretly.
She turned her eyes secretly and slowly fell on the fourth prince.
[This kid is still laughing, not knowing that he is about to die! 】
[Don’t run around later, otherwise I won’t be able to save you even with my golden finger! 】
During the second half of the palace banquet, you could move around freely, and the fourth prince disappeared around that time.
When the Queen remembered to look for the fourth prince after not seeing him for a long time, he was already freezing in Yuhua Lake.
The Qiao family had been trying hard to listen to Qiao Jiaojiao's thoughts. Fortunately, they were not too far away, otherwise the hall would be so empty that they would not be able to hear her.
Knowing that today was the day that the fourth prince died in infancy, the whole family's nerves had been tense.
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes continued to move downward and fell on the eldest princess.
The eldest princess Shen Yuanxian is sixteen years old and has reached the age of marriage, but she has not chosen a consort yet.
She is the daughter of Concubine Wan, and her appearance is more majestic. In terms of refinement, she is inferior to the thirteen-year-old second princess.
[This princess is a character! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao's exclamation immediately pricked up the ears of the Qiao family.
[If the third prince is a princeling, this princess is a staunch male lead! 】
[Concubine Wan was the only harem girl who could get along with Empress Yu Liu at that time. After the eldest princess learned some past events from Concubine Wan, she always believed that the second prince held a very important position in Emperor Yong's heart! 】
[So, she firmly supported the second prince from the beginning, and took great care of him in the harem. 】
[Later, the second prince ascended the throne, and the eldest princess was named the eldest princess, which was a great honor! 】
[Tsk, tsk, they say there are no stupid people in the Tian family, and I don’t know how they were raised, but they all have so many evil minds! 】
Generally, only concubines with royal heirs can attend large palace banquets. From this look, the identities of the three concubines on the right can be revealed.
Concubine Wan is older and she should be the one on the right. She is indeed not beautiful in appearance, but more dignified.
The one sitting in the middle should be Concubine Jing. According to the traditional rules, if she has a son and a daughter, she should be promoted to the fourth concubine.
However, the third prince was born with deficiencies and suffered from stubborn diseases, which was like a stain on the Tian family, but he failed to achieve anything.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Concubine Jing was always depressed and looked much older.
This third one...
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes became meaningful.
[In ancient times, romance can never be separated from the literature of substitutes. This third concubine is so beautiful that she must be the rumored Yu Zhaoyi, right? 】
[Take a closer look at this title, Yu——Yu, doesn’t it look a bit like it? 】
[So this Yongdi dog, while loving Yuliu to death, is looking for women who look like her everywhere, euphemistically calling it a relief from the pain of lovesickness. 】
【nausea! 】
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she nodded secretly.
She had seen Empress Yu Liu several times back then, and she was indeed so beautiful and fragrant that she was unforgettable.
The Yu Zhaoyi's facial features and figure in front of her are indeed 67% similar to those of Empress Yuliu back then.
This matter has long been tacitly understood in the circle of ladies, and everyone is just pretending to be dumbfounded.
Yu Zhaoyi is now the most favored woman in the harem, so she can have a place at the palace banquet even though she has no heirs.
Qiao Jiaojiao scratched her head in distress.
[What is the ending of Yu Zhaoyi? When I think about it, it seems that he was executed by the Dog Emperor's order because he was proud of his favor! 】
【Huh! etc! I remember the time when Yu Zhaoyi was executed, it seemed to be shortly after the Dragon Boat Festival! 】
