Sure enough, within two days, Concubine Qin invited a group of royal relatives to the palace for a gathering on the grounds of her birthday. Empress Yuan couldn't refuse, so she agreed to attend the banquet.

Empress Yuan brought Yuan Ning with her, because she knew that at least Yuan Ning was safe at this banquet, and Concubine Qin would not frame her, after all, she had a special identity, and if she did not use the wrong means, she might even offend the Eastern Zhou. When the time is right, Irene can also give her advice.

The two stayed in the Moon Floating Palace, but Empress Yuan was a little worried.

Seeing that Empress Yuan was a little uneasy, Yuan Ning took the initiative to comfort her: "Aunt don't worry, tonight's matter has already been arranged according to your instructions, and she will not be allowed to succeed." ”

"Ning'er, you don't know, this Li Siqing has been in the palace for many years, the reason why she was able to win His Majesty's favor and favor the harem is also a bit amazing, if there is a slight mistake tonight, I'm afraid she will step on my head." Empress Yuan said with some concern.

"Auntie, what you said, Ning'er understands, I know what you're worried about." Yuan Ning smiled and said: "The reason why Concubine Qin was able to gain a foothold in this harem is just because of His Majesty's liking, if one day, this liking fades, or is gone, do you think she will still be so arrogant?" ”

Empress Yuan's eyes lit up, and she asked rhetorically, "Ning'er already has a countermeasure?" ”

"Since my father sent Ning'er to help my aunt, naturally I won't be unprepared." Yuan Ning handed a letter to Empress Yuan and said, "After reading the letter, my aunt will naturally understand. ”

Empress Yuan read the letter carefully, and the further she read, the stronger the smile on her face, she raised her head with a smile and asked rhetorically, "Ning'er, what is this?" ”

Yuan Ning naturally replied with a smile: "This is the great gift that my father gave to my aunt." ”

Empress Yuan smiled knowingly, and seemed to be more confident than before.

At lunchtime, the main hall of Yasong Palace was already full of the royal family, because Concubine Qin was pregnant and had to go to bed early, so the birthday banquet was placed in the afternoon.

As soon as Empress Yuan arrived, Concubine Qin got up to greet her, and Empress Yuan responded with a smile: "My sister is pregnant, so there is no need to be polite." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help, but his body was getting farther and farther away.

When Concubine Qin saw the other party's movements, her face froze, could it be that the other party was already on guard? She didn't dare to say more, so she invited Empress Yuan to take a seat.

Before he could sit down, Emperor Yi hurried over, he held Concubine Qin's waist, and said with a doting face: "Concubine Ai, do you like the gift I gave you?" ”

Concubine Qin said shyly: "Naturally, I like it, but... Concubine Qin leaned into Yihuangdi's ear again and said softly: "If Your Majesty can stay in the Yasong Palace to accompany me tonight, then I will like it even more." ”

Emperor Yi smiled knowingly, pinched the other party's cheek, and said, "You little goblin." Then, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "Then I will satisfy you little goblin tonight." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Concubine Qin shyly hid in Emperor Yi's arms.

When everyone sees this, they can see that Concubine Qin is back to favor, it seems that Concubine Qin's methods are even more powerful than everyone imagined, even if she makes such a mistake, it will disappear in just a few months.

Empress Yuan stood up considerately and said, "Your Majesty, take a seat, all the princes can't wait to celebrate my sister's birthday." ”

Emperor Yi smiled and nodded, and took Concubine Qin into the seat.

Emperor Yi took the lead in sitting down, but seeing that Empress Yuan was slow to sit down, he asked rhetorically: "Who are you?" ”

Empress Yuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, today is my sister's birthday, and the concubine asks Your Majesty to allow my sister to sit on the seat, and I can sit aside." ”

Before Emperor Yi could react, he heard Concubine Qin say anxiously: "Sister, how can this be?" It's not in order. ”

Empress Yuan smiled and patted Concubine Qin's hand, and said with a gentle face: "Sister, this is not a matter of meeting with the palace, today my sister has such a wish, and my sister will not fulfill me?" ”

Concubine Qin looked embarrassed, but secretly cursed in her heart, if she didn't sit on the upper seat, wouldn't her plan be a little more difficult.

At this time, Emperor Yi said in a timely manner: "Since the queen has said it, Qing'er, you don't have to worry too much, come, sit next to me." ”

Concubine Qin smiled awkwardly and had to agree.

At the banquet, Yan Yan was smiling, staggering, singing and dancing, but Emperor Yi's eyes couldn't leave Concubine Qin for a moment, and the spoiling seemed to overflow.

Yuan was nothing, but she was more and more jealous in her heart, she knew that if Concubine Qin really gave birth to a son, it would definitely make her suffer a huge blow.

She turned her head slightly to look at Yuan Ning, Yuan Ning's eyes showed affirmation, and Empress Yuan immediately looked at Emperor Yi with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qin's sister is weak now, presumably she can't listen to such noisy singing and dancing, a few days ago, Xin'er found a woman who is good at singing for her sister outside the palace, and she played a song for her sister today to help her fun, I don't know if Your Majesty can agree." ”

Emperor Yi was stunned for a moment, but still smiled and said: "Since Xin'er found it, the singing art must be unusual, announce this woman into the palace." ”

After a while, a woman in Tsing Yi entered, the woman lowered her eyebrows, and couldn't see her face clearly, Emperor Yi didn't raise her head, still looked at Concubine Qin, but Concubine Qin seemed to have become a little vigilant, I don't know what ghost ideas Queen Yuan has in her heart.

Empress Yuan immediately announced a musician in the palace, this musician was dressed in white, although he was over thirty years old, but his appearance was also infinite, not inferior to these noble sons at the banquet, but a little more elegant and calm.

The strings were plucked lightly, the music sounded, Emperor Yi and Concubine Qin couldn't help but look at the pianist, this music was the music that Li Siqing attracted the attention of Emperor Yi back then, but many years have passed, she has not played the music.

"This song reminds me of the first time I saw you on the outskirts of the city." Emperor Yi smiled slightly, turned his face to look at Concubine Qin, but found that Concubine Qin's face was a little ugly, and even a little flustered.

Concubine Qin realized her gaffe, and immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine remembered the scene of the year for a while, and she was a little out of shape. ”

Emperor Yi hugged Concubine Qin, comforted and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

At this moment, the woman's singing voice sounded, shocking everyone present, not only because of her beautiful singing, but also because of her appearance, although it is not as good as Yuanning's worldly appearance, but it is also cold and beautiful enough, a touching beauty.

Huang Fuxin was a little shocked for a while, but with Yuan Ning in his heart, he was no longer interested in the woman in front of him.

Emperor Yi followed the beautiful singing voice, and when he saw the cold and agile face and graceful posture, he was stunned for a while, and even his body froze.

This face resembles her ...
