Chapter 410 Birthday Banquet

The days passed quickly in the busy life, and it was July 12th in a blink of an eye.

The palace banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. The weather was hot in summer and the Imperial Garden was cooler. The breeze blew and the refreshing fragrance made people feel comfortable.

As night falls, the imperial garden is dotted with stars.

With the sound of "Her Majesty the Queen has arrived", all the ministers, ladies and ladies in the boudoir who entered the palace to attend the banquet stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty the Queen, long live my emperor!"

Chu Qinghuang walked up to the imperial stage and slowly sat down: "No courtesy."

The ministers took their seats one by one.

There is a curtain between the women's seats and the men's seats, which can be regarded as separating the men and women.

The royal family members were sitting near the imperial stage. Today was the Queen's first birthday after she ascended the throne. Chu Tianling, Chu Tianzheng and Chu Tianyin all attended the palace banquet.

The Queen Mother and Princess Duan also came.

The status of these two women is very embarrassing. One is as prestigious as the Queen Mother, but they have no honor at all. They can't even protect their own sons.

The other one is clearly the biological mother of Her Majesty the Queen, and should be respected as the Queen Mother, but now she can only be sent out of the palace to live with her poor son.

As the brother of the emperor's second mother, Chu Tianzheng didn't even have a prince title until the emperor abdicated. After Chu Qinghuang ascended the throne, he was no longer suitable to live in the prince's palace in the palace, so he was given a mansion and the title of Xian. The prince.

It's really relaxing.

After being granted the title of Prince of the County, he had no official position and was still like an idle prince as before - he could still rely on his mother and concubine to be favored and dominate, and the ministers and palace people were respectful to him.

However, I don’t know how long ago, the status of the once most favored prince plummeted, and now he has no power at all. He only relies on the salary of the county prince and the private money saved by Concubine Duan, living in poverty, with a neglected family, and no one. People care about him, but his life is not as good as that of ordinary young men from aristocratic families.

At this time, all the female family members looked at the Queen Mother and Princess Duan, and they didn't even know where to start their small talk.

"I heard that Her Majesty the Queen intends to select women to serve as officials." Someone spoke at the table, but the voice that was deliberately lowered showed a bit of excitement, "Her Majesty the Queen is really powerful, she dares to do things that others dare not do, and dares to think that ordinary people dare not think. "

Concubine Duan clutched the wine cup with a gloomy expression.

"Women's status is low, so it's not easy to become an official." Another daughter from a noble family frowned, "For so many years, men have been superior to women. If Your Majesty really has such an idea, the ministers in the court will definitely oppose it."

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you have such an idea, you are not afraid of failing." The woman who spoke first smiled lightly, "Before Her Majesty the Queen ascended the throne, who would have thought that Xiqi would be ruled by a queen?"

As soon as these words came out, the other legitimate daughters of the aristocratic families nodded: "Yes, no one would have thought that the former eldest princess would actually take the position of queen."

"Her Majesty the Queen is as powerful and courageous as any man. She is a rare and rare woman in thousands of years. Haven't there been rumors before? It is said that Her Majesty the Queen is the destined emperor and should sit on this throne."

"So as long as Her Majesty the Queen wants to select women to serve as officials, she can definitely do it."

Concubine Duan listened to everyone's words, and her words were full of admiration and admiration for Chu Qinghuang. It was completely opposite to the disdain and disdain towards Chu Qinghuang when the noble ladies gathered together before, and her expression became gloomier little by little.

Just at this time, a eunuch on the imperial stage shouted in a high voice: "Let's sing and dance——"

The palace dancers came one after another on lotus steps. With light steps, graceful figures, and beautiful dance clothes, they bent their waists, and their exquisite water sleeves brought out their graceful dance postures. The dancers danced gracefully...
