079 Rebuttal at the dinner party
After Xiao Yao's words were finished, Concubine Chen raised her eyebrows quite unexpectedly, and looked Xiao Yao up and down for a long time.
Xiao Yao lowered her head and let Concubine Chen look at her, she thought that she had said everything she had to say, so she stopped talking.
originally thought that this girl was really the canary who was protected by He Yu in the mansion, but today's Xiao Yao's words impressed her a lot, and after a while, Concubine Chen said with a smile, "It seems that this palace is wrong." ”
"Niangniang cares about the prince, and it is also strange that the concubine did not mention this, which makes Niangniang worried." Xiao Yao smiled.
Concubine Chen realized that this girl seemed to be able to speak more than she imagined, and she was a merchant family, and there was always some contact in business dealings, and it would definitely not be bad if she heard and saw it. It's not the real girl from the mountains, but she's also seen the world.
Thinking of this, Concubine Chen's heart also calmed down a little, so she no longer mentioned this matter, but talked about some other things.
After chatting for a while, a maid came over, "Niangniang, the time is almost up." ”
"Well, let's go, go early, lest you miss the hour." Concubine Chen got up.
"Yes." Xiao Yao also got up, stood half a step behind Concubine Chen's side and followed out.
Because she occasionally came to the palace to talk to Concubine Chen before, Xiao Yao also had a preliminary impression of this palace, in fact, she should have had an impression of this palace in her previous life, which is basically a copy of the Forbidden City.
The place where they went at this time was the Baohe Palace, which was also the place used by the emperor to give a banquet.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I arrived at the door of the Baohe Palace, and before the banquet began, Concubine Chen took Xiao Yao to the side hall of the female dependents, and at this time there were already some women and concubines with low status who arrived first, chatting jokingly. Seeing Concubine Chen come in, they all got up and saluted Concubine Chen, and now the emperor has no choice but to leave Concubine Chen and Concubine Duan, the mother of the fourth prince, except for Concubine Ning, the mother of the fourth prince.
Although it is said that the harem concubines have always been one imperial concubine, two concubines, and four concubines are arranged like this.
However, after so many years, the saint seems to have no intention of raising other concubines to the position again, and occasionally the internal affairs office has brought it up, but the emperor has pushed it for various reasons. Now that I think about it, isn't it really because the emperor is old that he feels that he can't do it?
When Xiao Yao heard He Yu tell her about the things in the palace before, she was really so suspicious. Of course, this is naturally not something that can be said, and saying such a rebellious word is a sense of déjà vu that you are looking for death.
Concubine Chen walked to a position at the bottom of the main seat and sat down, and Xiao Yao obediently stood behind Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen glanced around and chuckled, "It seems that Concubine Ning hasn't arrived yet." ”
Naturally, none of the women present dared to answer this question, and in this huge palace, to put it bluntly, only this Concubine Chen was left who could choke with Ning Guifei. Although Concubine Chen said that she had no heirs, and her position was not as high as Concubine Ning, she still had King Xuanping behind her. That's the first king with a different surname in the capital, and the emperor has unconditional favor all day long, and he is also used to being tyrannical in the capital, how can anyone dare to really offend Concubine Chen?
Although Concubine Ning's mother is not as obvious as Concubine Chen, Concubine Ning has the ability, her position is there, and the fourth prince is also in the favor of the Holy Grace, so she naturally can't afford to offend. As for Concubine Duan, as the biological mother of the eldest prince, she is also quiet on weekdays, and she is very low-key and inconspicuous. But if someone can sit in that position, it must not be a simple person.
Concubine Chen was talking, when she heard someone outside report that Ning Guifei had arrived, and the women who had just sat down stood up again to salute Ning Guifei, Ning Guifei was not modest at all, and sat directly on the main seat, Xiao Yao saw Concubine Chen pouting invisibly, her eyes showed a hint of disdain, and she was a little grinning in her heart, it seemed that she was really going to see the live palace fighting drama.
Sure enough, Concubine Ning Guifei sat down on the main seat, and when she saw that the position opposite Concubine Chen was empty, she immediately raised a pair of willow eyebrows, "Didn't Concubine Duan even participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet?" ”
Concubine Chen chuckled and said, "Sister doesn't know that Sister Duanfei has always been in poor health. The emperor is too, she is allowed not to attend these banquets, is my sister dissatisfied with the emperor? ”
Sure enough, when she heard the word "emperor", Ning Guifei's expression changed, but she didn't have a seizure. After seeing Xiao Yao standing behind Concubine Chen, a smile immediately appeared on the corner of her lips, and Xiao Yao suddenly felt an alarm in her heart, could this woman be a ......
Sure enough, I saw Concubine Ning's lips slightly open, and said, "Sister Chen, I haven't seen this maid, this is a new dispatch from the Internal Affairs Office to serve my sister?" It seems that my sister likes this girl very much. ”
"Where," Concubine Chen smiled when she heard this, pulled Xiao Yao to her side, and said, "This is my nephew's new daughter-in-law!" My nephew was afraid that the child would be frightened when he saw this battle for the first time, so he asked my sister to take care of it, so as not to be bullied. ”
"I'll just say, look at the material of this dress is not from an ordinary person," Ning Guifei sighed twice, "Look at this cloud shadow yarn smock, this year's palace can also be used as an embellishment for skirts, but this girl can make a smock, in the end, the little prince is favored." ”
Ning Guifei's words successfully pulled the eyes of all the women present to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao only felt that she was itching all over her body, and she had the urge to sweat. However, at this time, she can't really refute Ning Guifei, after all, that is a concubine, she wants to refute it regardless of anything, then I'm afraid it is not her Xiao Yao's people who will lose, but the people of the real Xuanping Palace.
For this, she also had to endure it.
When Concubine Ning said this, Concubine Chen's face was not good-looking, but this expression was only for a moment, and Concubine Chen smiled at random, "But isn't it, this still shows that my nephew is also deeply rooted in the sacred heart, otherwise there is not much fabric in the first place, and my nephew will get two horses!" Two days ago, I also sent a horse to my palace, which shows that the sacred heart is the most important! ”
That's right, He Yu did just send a few good fabrics to Concubine Chen's palace two days ago, and Xiao Yao brought them in.
However, when these words came out, it was said that Ning Guifei's four princes were not as loved by the emperor as He Yu, of course, Ning Guifei had a black face, so she stopped talking, and the superior did not speak, and the people below were naturally silent, and no one dared to speak.
In the west side hall of the entire Baohe Palace, except for Concubine Chen, no one can feel comfortable, everyone began to sit still, wishing that this banquet had started earlier, and sitting here was really like sitting on pins and needles, which made people uncomfortable and tight.
The oppressive atmosphere lasted until the beginning of the banquet, and the moment the main hall was to be made, the eunuchs and maids came to invite the ladies to enter, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, and then walked out one after another.
He Yu over there had already been wandering around the main hall for a while, and the eldest prince patted He Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You kid should show you your princess today, and hide it in the house every day, so that our brothers think it's not a golden house to hide Jiao!" ”
'How can you! He Yu made a wry smile and shook his head, "It's no wonder that when I went out these days, I didn't meet my eldest brother." The prince and the four princes have all seen it, little brother, I didn't deliberately hide people! ”
He Yu is the youngest in this group, because they all grew up together in the palace, and they follow the call of the eldest brother and the second brother in order to show intimacy on weekdays, and the emperor also agreed, and no one felt that there was anything wrong. When the eldest prince heard this, he immediately asked the fourth prince and the crown prince to confirm, but the prince smiled and nodded, "Hongming's words are true, I have already seen it before I got married." If you want to blame, you can only blame the eldest brother, and it's not the right time to catch up every time. ”
The fourth prince also smiled and said, "That's right, but I was also in a hurry at that time, and I didn't see it very clearly, so I have to take a good look at it today." What a beautiful immortal this is, it actually made Hong Ming beg his father to give him a marriage. ”
The brothers laughed, He Yu was actually quite uncomfortable by Yang Yunze's words, but he had to accompany the smiling face, hey, I probably made her suffer again. After chatting for a while, everyone returned to their respective seats, in order to show He Yu's status, He Yu's position was behind the prince, after Xiao Yao entered the Baohe Palace, she saw He Yu beckoning to her again, and Xiao Yao's heart settled down all of a sudden.
However, some people really can't get used to it, Ning Guifei saw this, and said in a weird way, "This King Xuanping really loves the princess, for fear that the princess will not find a place, Jiang Hai beckoned!" This is the palace, do you know some rules? ”
It just so happened that He Yu, who rushed over and wanted to pick up Xiao Yao, heard this, and he pulled Xiao Yao and said with a smile, "Fu doesn't meet the rules of the palace, then the emperor has the final say, and the concubine Niangniang can't wait to exercise the queen's power before she becomes the queen?" I guess I can't wait, right? ”
Unceremonious words, compared to Concubine Chen's words just now, it was more direct and ruthless, when Concubine Chen couldn't get off the stage on the spot, the fourth prince also came over to help at this time, "Hongming, what do you mean by this?" ”
"It's not interesting." He Yu raised his eyebrows, "It's just that I watched someone bully my princess, and I didn't allow me to say a few words?" If you don't want to be like this in the future, it's best for everyone to give each other a face, after all, it's ugly if it's torn. ”
After speaking, he didn't look at the mother and son with blue faces, and pulled Xiao Yao into his seat.
Seeing this, Concubine Chen also blocked the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and returned to her position with a chuckle. R1152
