Silk bamboo dance, wide sleeves flow immortals, Linhua Palace Ji graceful and colorful, between the beginning and the end of the extension of the arbitrary, cloud sleeves flick lightly, glorious nature.

On the high seat of Minghuang, the carved dragon is flying and dancing, the game is auspicious, and it is proud. The people on the seat smiled at the corners of their mouths, their eyes were bright, and their majesty was self-generated, like the gods of the nine heavens, looking down on all beings.

There are two white jade phoenix seats on the left and right sides, and the woman on the nine-tailed jade seat on the left side is like Zhu Dan and bright like clouds, which is the queen of the phoenix crown and bright yellow clothes. The daughter of Deng Yunqian, the left minister of Great Chu, Deng Zhaoyun.

On the other side, the seven-tailed phoenix seat is still empty.

After the dance, the sheng song was paused, and the room was safe.

The queen glanced at the emperor who was turning his wine glass on the dragon throne, and then looked at the empty jade seat on the right, frowned slightly, and lightly called the personal maid next to her, "Go and see what's going on with the concubine, why don't you come here?" The voice was not loud, but it was just enough to sit down, so the ministers could hear it clearly. This was followed by a burst of whispering rebuke.

As everyone knows, the imperial concubine has a dull nature, and she has always been reluctant to participate in the banquets in the palace. Because of her embarrassing identity back then, everyone couldn't face it, and it was normal for her to be reluctant to appear in such a noisy scene. However, as the imperial concubine of a country, when the foreign ministers come to the court, out of courtesy, they cannot refuse to attend the dinner. It is no wonder that those ministers who regard rules and etiquette as heaven are dissatisfied at this time.

However, as soon as the words fell, I saw a woman in palace clothes coming to the door. The smile that had just hung on the corner of the queen's mouth froze immediately, but in the next moment, it was infinitely enlarged, and the smile that reached the corner of her eyes was obviously a look of watching a good show.

The imperial concubine Qi Mingluo wore a moonlight-colored flow-patterned pleated flying fairy skirt, which was as bright as the moon. The high bun hangs down the beads, fluttering. It's still the usual dress.

The hustle and bustle around was silent for a while, and all the ministers present looked at this imperial concubine who came in plain clothes. In the blink of an eye, it was another whisper.

Although the imperial concubine does not like banquets, the banquets set up for foreign ministers have never been absent, and the makeup and demeanor have not been biased in the slightest, but today's casualness greatly surprised everyone. The foreign envoy came to the court, but the dignified concubine was so lazy, and her clothes were unreasonable. Daqi is the mother country of the imperial concubine, and it should be dressed up to attend, why is it so light?

"Sister, come on! Today's dress is extraordinary. My sister is naturally beautiful, and such a plain dress is really more beautiful than flowers. The queen smiled lightly, exhaling Ruolan, clever and soft, but every word was fine.

The imperial concubine turned a deaf ear, moved lightly, walked to the emperor, and bowed: "The concubine is late for the banquet, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive her sins." ”

Hearing this, the speaker frowned even deeper.

"Get up, sit down. The emperor said lightly.

"Xie Majesty. "Get up and sit down, natural and casual, between the eyebrows and eyes, the elegance is peerless.

Such a casual and lazy attitude finally angered the admonishing Yushi.

"Imperial concubine Niangniang, please forgive Weichen for daring to ask, Niangniang is late, and she doesn't wear the concubine's dress, but now she is so contemptuous of the queen's mother, I don't know why?"

The imperial concubine glanced at the angry Yushi Fan Cheng, her face was calm, she didn't show her joy or anger, but just said calmly:

"Today's palace was in the Yong'an Palace Buddha Hall to copy the scriptures for my Chu country to pray for the blessing, half an hour ago, I heard the girl say that today's Prince Qi Ming sent an envoy to our country, the palace is afraid of the late banquet, the rumor will go out, was accused of arrogance and rudeness, and I am afraid that the Great Qi will make me feel that my emperor treats me lightly, falls into the mouth of the heart, and the relationship between the two countries is not good, so I didn't even have time to change my clothes, and hurried over. Fortunately, my emperor is lenient and does not care.

"Besides, what I came today is the younger brother of the palace, the palace has watched him grow up since he was a child, married to the Chu State for twelve years, and has never returned to Daqi Province, and the younger brother has not seen him for many years, even if it is known, the palace is not wearing a ceremonial dress today, and it will only be said that the palace is thinking of the younger brother, and today in the palace's view, it is just a family banquet. If you want to spread it, there won't be too many rumors.

"As for Fan Yushicai's contempt for the queen's sister, it is even more nonsense. His Majesty is here, the country takes the monarch as the sky, the wife takes the husband as the sky, the palace has to worship His Majesty first, and the queen's mother, His Majesty has already allowed the palace not to salute, and the right person also wants the palace to return to the seat.

"As for my sister, if I really want to deal with my sister, after the dinner, my sister will come to visit and apologize. If my sister is not enough to relieve her anger, she wants to beat or scold, and my sister will never complain. In the end, it turned to the queen.

sprinkled some words, and was stunned to make the always picky Yushi Fan Cheng speechless, so he had to sit down with apologies.

And the emperor on the throne looked at Yiqiē with a smile, and his heart was also amused. This Fan Cheng is not afraid of death, he doesn't make trouble for himself on weekdays, but he didn't think about it, but in front of hundreds of officials, he was put together by Qi Mingluo, who usually doesn't like words, and he was speechless. I secretly screamed in my heart, which was enough to relieve my anger.

On the other hand, the imperial concubine is still as quiet as usual, and her face is not arrogant.

If it weren't for the fact that in the past 14 years, she has a flat heart, recites Buddhism and copies scriptures every day, does not associate with the powerful in the DPRK and China, and does not make friends with the palace concubines, she would really be a ruthless character. However, let's not say that she doesn't have this idea, even if she does, it is just a woman's small means, intrigue, deep palace, and nothing big can be done, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

If it comes to self-confidence, Emperor Shengzhao Chu Huaiyuan is rarely matched by people in the world, if he can foresee the future and know the direction of the future, will he continue to be so rigid and self-serving, and look down on such a little woman who is disdained by him?

The queen, who was waiting to see a good show, heard that the last topic fell on her, and said calmly and generously: "My sister said that I am laughing, you and I have a deep sisterhood, how can a sister be a sister because of this little thing? ”

Hearing this, the imperial concubine smiled at the corner of her mouth, as if she had nothing, and glanced at the imperial history Fan Cheng lightly, and then stopped speaking.

Fan Cheng was even more angry with himself, but he had nowhere to go, so he had to drink the wine in the cup in one gulp, and he was still angry, so he grabbed the wine pot of the palace maid on the side and poured himself a drink. But even so, I am still grateful to the imperial concubine for not bothering with me anymore. It's just that An An is competing with herself.

And the emperor at this moment grasped a sentence. Ling Ran spoke: "Empress, what Shicai Mingluo said, her girl only knew about me to invite Prince Qi Ming to a banquet today half an hour ago, how do you explain it?"

He didn't ask the imperial concubine in detail, nor did he ask for further verification, but just opened his mouth to explain. It can be seen that he believes in the words of the imperial concubine.

The queen expected him to ask such a question, but she didn't want it to be so direct. Even though there was surprise and a hint of panic, it was fleeting: "The concubine sent her personal maid Rou'er to inform her sister as early as three days ago, and if you don't believe Your Majesty, you can ask Rou'er." After that, he gave a look to the girl in pink on the side.

The girl knelt in front of the hall, knelt straight and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid met a palace maid named Jia'er outside the Yong'an Palace, she said that the imperial concubine Niangniang was chanting in the Buddhist hall and should not be disturbed, so the slave and maid told the girl about it. After a pause, he said, "Isn't that girl playful for a while and forgot to tell her mother?"

Before the emperor asked, the imperial concubine smiled and said: "Jia'er is a good girl in the palace, but as early as three days ago, she was burned when changing the lamp oil. She's sick in bed now, where did you see her?"

This time, it was the girl who was surprised. looked at the queen with wide eyes and stunned: "Niangniang, the slave didn't lie!"

The imperial concubine smiled noncommittally: "So, is it the palace bullying the monarch?" However, it is not a lie, although Jia'er was not injured three days ago, but it was indeed the injury suffered when he took turns to keep vigil on the third night and changed the lamp oil for the ever-bright lamp in the Buddha hall, and the imperial doctor also came to check and prescribed medicine. But this girl had bad intentions and only came to tell her two days ago.

The difference of one day is extremely vicious.

When she got the news that day, she sent someone to open the box and inspect the dress so that she could prepare it for today's dinner, but in the middle of the dress, an inch wide was cut. The side hall where the clothes were kept kept vigil all the time, and no outsiders entered, except that night when Gar was injured, because it was late at night, and no one changed shifts, so the night was empty.

And Gal is the one who is least likely to betray him.

The clothes were taken to the construction department, but they got the news that the queen sent someone to take away part of the silk thread the day before, and the remaining silk thread was not enough. The scratch is too large, even if the silk thread is enough, it will take half a month to make up it at the earliest.

According to the system, the queen and the imperial concubine are all dressed in the Ming and Huang Palaces, and the red phoenix auspicious clouds and peonies are all sewn with gold wire and peacock tail twisted threads, but one is a nine-tailed red phoenix, and the other is a seven-tailed red phoenix.

A trivial matter, Qi Mingluo was only suspicious at first, since the clothes could no longer be worn, he had already thought of a countermeasure, what he said just now was just a little tentative, but now, wearing one by one, the answer was about to come out, and he was even more convinced of his guess.

It seems that I am really too indifferent on weekdays, I don't deceive people, but I didn't expect someone to deceive myself.

"Rod. The two words exited, Emperor Shengzhao took a sip of the Qinglong Imperial Wine in the cup, and said, "It's really good wine." ”

As soon as the king's words came out, it was already a certainty, and it could not be changed, if you wanted to live, you had to beg the victim, the queen looked at the girl who looked at her, and the girl immediately crawled to the imperial concubine, kowtowing constantly: "Niangniang, God has the virtue of a good life, please, spare the slave and maid, the slave and the maid don't dare anymore, please beg you..."

"The concubines are at the mercy of His Majesty. The gentle words made everyone present change their expressions.

This is clearly asking this girl to die! The imperial concubine worships the Buddha every day, but is she so disregarding human life?

The imperial concubine doesn't seem to have anything to do with herself, and she doesn't look at everyone.

The ceremonial dress is torn, and it can't be worn, not to mention the rudeness at the banquet, it is even more destructive. Even if you have to investigate and deal with this matter afterwards, there is no evidence and physical evidence, and the culprit is impossible to find it, and in the end, even if you are exempt from criminal responsibility, you will be accused of poor care to the people around you, even if you don't die, you will have to end up disabled. It's really a cruel method.

Although I recite Buddhism, I am also a layman, and I am not a good person, among them, how many good people can speak of? Not to mention that I am still the imperial concubine of this **, above 10,000 people, even if I ignore trivial matters and be dignified, but not some cats and dogs can collide. If you don't teach a lesson, how can you warn other juniors?

The queen still wanted to speak, but she heard a sentence: "Your Majesty, how long will it take for the envoy of the Great Qi to come? The concubines are all hungry!"

If you don't look at it, you know that such a cute and lovely voice comes from Concubine Zhen. What a time.

As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhao Hai, who was already waiting, playing: "Your Majesty, the Great Qi has arrived at Donghua Gate at three o'clock, and now I have arrived outside the hall this morning to wait for the announcement." ”

"Xuan. ”

The next moment, the queen's face was like ashes, but she still maintained a dignified sitting posture.
