The hierarchy in the palace is the most obvious, and it can also be seen from the time of the banquet. The higher the rank, the banquet can be delayed as much as possible, usually a quarter of an hour before the feast, and the lower the rank, the earlier it comes, even if you know that no one will go early, you have to wait, in order to show respect for the superior.

Guanguan is not too late, when he arrived at the Tong'an Palace, except for a few women and beauties who entered the palace with him, no one else had yet arrived.

Guan Guan originally wanted to find the palace people and grandmothers around the Queen Mother to help spread a message and explain the matter of Rou below, but after glancing at the palace, it seemed that no one from Changle Palace had arrived, so he still found his place and sat down first.

The seat next to Guanguan is Feng Yanru Feng Meiren, who had contact with him when he was in Chuxiu Palace. The two of them had some impressions of each other, and at this time it was the first time they had taken a serious photo after the election, and the two looked at each other and smiled. But that's all there is to it, after all, it's not too familiar. Through Feng Yanru, Guan Guan felt a hostile gaze, Guan Guan looked at it curiously, and it turned out to be Wang Yuan. Since entering the palace, this Wang beauty has always unabashedly expressed her dislike for herself, and Guan Guan is also used to it, ignoring her.

Everyone in the hall was a newcomer to the palace, on the one hand, they were more cautious, and on the other hand, they were not familiar with each other, so they didn't talk to each other, and they just sat quietly.

After being silent for a long time, there was a sudden sound outside the hall, and everyone in the hall looked out. According to the time, the next one should be a beauty, Jieyu and the like, but the person who came was unexpected, a woman who was nearly forty years old. Obviously, it is impossible for the emperor's concubine to be at this age, and then look at her dress, she is dressed a little plainly, and she has no headdress, and she should be followed by an old lady. Everyone looked at each other, not sure of the person's identity, so they didn't dare to rush forward, but just watched.

Guan Guan recognized that person was Concubine Xu at a glance, sitting on the right side of the emperor during the last election, wearing a dark purple palace dress, except for the Queen Mother, there are few women in the palace who wear such a color, who else is not a concubine?

Although he recognized the person who came, after the lesson of "meditating" in Changle Palace last time to show his edge, how could Guan Guan dare to come forward first? However, if everyone did not come forward to greet and salute, it seemed to be very disrespectful. While thinking about it, Guan Guan suddenly noticed Wang Yuan, and he had an idea, wouldn't it be enough for the person who wanted to show Xi àn to come out?

"Sister Feng, that is the concubine Niangniang, I have seen it before. Guan Guan pretended to whisper in Feng Yanru's ear, but the sound was enough for Wang Yuan, who was sitting next to him, to hear it.

Feng Yanru was startled, her eyes widened in disbelief to get confirmation from Guan Guan, who nodded affirmatively at her.

As expected by Guanguan, Wang Yuan reacted more than Feng Yanru. After a while, Wang Yuan got up from his seat, walked to Concubine Xu, and bowed: "Wang Yuan has seen Concubine Niangniang." ”

Wang Yuan's actions shocked everyone, and everyone in the hall looked at Concubine Xu in disbelief.

Since someone went up first, Guan Guan had no scruples, and took Feng Yanru to salute. Only then did everyone react from their shock and come forward to salute.

Concubine Xu smiled and helped Wang Yuan: "Get up!"

Wang Yuan was very happy, and looked in the direction of Guanguan with a contemptuous smile.

Looking at Wang Yuan's contempt, Guan Guan was noncommittal and didn't bother to pay attention. She wanted to please Concubine Bo and look at her differently, she didn't want to attract attention or be punished, she just took what she needed.

Concubine Xu sat down, her eyes inadvertently glanced at Guanguan, who lowered her head and returned to her seat at this time, but did not notice.

The people who came next were all in groups of two or five, and after staying in the palace for some years, they naturally had their own friends, or at least had "allies". As soon as these people came in, they saw Concubine Xu sitting on it, and they were surprised that this concubine had come, and she had come so early. Of course, after only a moment of surprise, they all stepped forward and saluted.

Guan Guan observed everyone's reactions, these concubines were respectful but not enthusiastic about Concubine Xu, and they seemed surprised to see the concubine appear here. Even Concubine Xian reacted like this, and Guan Guan was a little puzzled.

At this moment, there is a lot of excitement in the Tong'an Palace, and the people are almost there, except for the Queen Mother, Chu Tianze, and Concubine Chen.

"Sister Concubine Chen didn't come again?" Xue Meiren sneered, why did she Concubine Chen come late every time, but no one punished her.

"Concubine Chen is noble and favored, she naturally came later, and it is not the first time, there is nothing strange about it. Li Baolin said enviously.

When Concubine Xian heard this, her face sank instantly. As soon as she came in, she noticed that Concubine Chen hadn't arrived yet, and she was very unhappy, she came later than before, she thought she could overpower Concubine Chen, but who knew that Concubine Chen hadn't come yet!

"The emperor has arrived—the queen mother has arrived—Concubine Chen's mother has arrived—" The eunuch's shrill voice interrupted Concubine Xian's thoughts. It also means that everyone's waiting is over and the banquet is about to begin.

Everyone also understood, it turned out that Concubine Chen came with the emperor. This appeared with the emperor and the queen mother, and it really looked expensive.

Everyone saluted the emperor and the queen mother.

"Why did Concubine Chen's sister come so late?" Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Chen beside Chu Tianze and said provocatively.

Concubine Chen glanced at Concubine Xian lightly, did not reply, and sat down by herself.

"You ......" Concubine Chen had no one in her eyes like this, and Concubine Xian almost couldn't help but scold, if it weren't for this meeting.

Chu Tianze looked at Concubine Xian's face and said with a smile: "I just went down to Yanxi Palace once, so I asked Concubine Chen to come with me, does Concubine Ai have an opinion?"

Concubine Xian knew that Chu Tianze was helping Concubine Chen out of the siege, but the emperor said so, she could only endure it, and she had to maintain her usual virtuousness, and looked at Chu Tianze aggrievedly: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

"Well, sit down. ”

Chu Tianze ordered everyone to take their seats, but at this time, there was one person who was maverick. I saw Concubine Xu get up from the banquet, walk to Chu Tianze and the Queen Mother, and make a big salute.

Chu Tianze gave a handful of help: "Today is a family banquet, and the concubine doesn't have to be formal." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her disdainfully: "Why is Concubine Xu free to come here today? It's rare! I can't see anyone on weekdays!"

Guan Guan was very curious that the queen mother, who was strict and dignified on weekdays, would also show this kind of look and tone.

The sneer in the Queen Mother's tone Concubine Xu didn't hear it, she only smiled and replied: "The concubines are happy and quiet on weekdays, and they mostly worship Buddha in Yuanfu Palace, so they move around less, and I hope that the Queen Mother is not strange."

"Xijing, worship the Buddha?" the Queen Mother smiled.

"I asked the concubine to come. The purpose of this month's banquet is to discuss the matter of catching the wind for King Ning, as the biological mother of King Ning, is there any reason why Concubine Xu can't come?" Chu Tianze said coldly.

The Queen Mother did not compromise with Chu Tianze, she still looked at Concubine Xu with disdainful eyes, and snorted coldly.

Guan Guan could see clearly from the side, the three most honorable people in the palace...... I have long known that the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is not good, and it turns out that the relationship between the concubine and the queen mother is not good......
