Chapter 124 Banquet in the Palace

"Returning to the princess, this is today when Rong Shizi saw the layout of the palace banquet, he wanted to replace Qiu Ju with a happy family, and the minions could only do it." Behind him, the eunuch in charge couldn't help wiping a cold sweat.

Although Jing Shengwu has only recently acted as the agent of the six palaces, he has controlled the expenditure accounts of the six palaces. But the father-in-law in charge of the Internal Affairs Office knows very well that the weak girl in front of him is not as easy to deal with in person.

After Jing Shengwu mastered the finances, he first carried out a major cleanup of the people in the harem, especially those who dared to be greedy for ink and silver in the Internal Affairs Office. In this way, there is less secret deduction, and the silver is naturally saved a lot.

Moreover, this girl acted ruthlessly, not at all like the queen mother or the concubine of the past, and only used the golden book treasure seal to torture and torture these people. In this way, no one dared to touch her edge.

Thinking of those who were seized and disposed of by Jing Shengwu, such a miserable end, Rao is father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Office, who had experienced many big scenes, wiped the cold sweat on his head.

fell into such a situation, it was really impossible to survive and die!

"Oh? Is it Rong Chu's order......" Hearing Rong Chu's name, Jing Shengwu responded lightly, but there was no sign of any trouble. Seeing this scene, the father-in-law's heart finally fell.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace is happy. All the people present today are relatives of the emperor, concubines of the six palaces and princesses. However, there are two people who are not related to the family feast, but they are sitting here.

It is the son of Wu Liang and the son of Rong Churong.

On top of the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet. Emperor Chu Heng was still in the Fengtian Palace, and the queen had to wait outside the hall and arrive with the emperor. So now in this Autumn Water Pavilion. There are only princes, princesses, princesses and concubines of the harem, such as concubines, concubines, and concubines of Zhao.

Although many concubines know that Jing Shengwu has been in the limelight recently, they want to be close to her. But Jing Shengwu did not look arrogant at all, and only sat indifferently on the palace banquet. Waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

"Sister, look at Wang Meiren, Wen Guiren and Fang agreed. They have come to salute you. Even a young princess like Princess Liangyu knows the proper etiquette. But our noble Zhao Xiyan doesn't know anything about it≧≧≧≧, m.√.coΒ£m. ”

Standing behind Jing Shengwu were Xue Yue and Leng Yu. Leng Yu is okay, he has been in charge of the palace for many years. Naturally, I know what to prioritize. Indifferently. But Xueyue's heat is a little worse, and she is a girl in the end.

Although he has followed Jing Shengwu to experience a lot in the mansion and the palace, he knows how to converge. However, the impetuous temperament in the past has not improved much. However, Jing Shengwu took a fancy to Xueyue and Qingyin, but it was their sincerity.

"Talk less, look at people and things. Stay with Leng Yu, when it's time to use your words. I will call you. Jing Shengwu said in a low voice.

Hearing Jing Shengwu's words, Xue Yue pouted helplessly at the moment. Honestly stood behind Jing Shengwu. Feeling the restlessness of her own girl, Jing Shengwu sighed helplessly.

It's okay, Xueyue and Qingyin are both in their youth, and they shouldn't accompany her to spend their hearts in this deep palace and become lifeless all day long.

Picking up the chrysanthemum green jade wine on the table in front of her, and taking a sip, Jing Shengwu suddenly felt two unusual gazes, sweeping across her face.

Putting down her glass, she looked silently at the source of her gaze. I saw that she was talking intimately with Wu Liang, but in her eyes, it seemed that she was the only one, who was it not Rong Chu?

Today, he wore a moonlight water separation Yunlu slim palace satin robe, and his long black hair was only tied up with a snow-white cool hosta and a transparent amethyst crown, and his face was as white as the snow on the West Mountain.

Really, people can't take their eyes off it......

Jing Shengwu was silent, and he had already looked at the expressions of the people beside Rong Chu. In the past, the harem concubines and palace maids could only see the emperor and those eunuchs who had no roots, but now they suddenly saw the prince with such a face, which naturally moved the heart of spring.

Moreover, in addition to Rong Chu Rong Shizi, there are also Wu Liang Gongzi and Chu Yu Chu Yu. Not to mention that these three did not marry, even if they were connected to King Jing and King Xiang, and the position of side concubine made the palace maids delusional.

"Princess, the slave looked at Rong Shizi's appearance, I am afraid that she has something to say to the princess. Why don't you wait for the palace banquet to go on, and the slave maid will go to fight for the princess? ”

Leng Yu also noticed Rong Chu's eyes that seemed to contain thousands of words, and he lowered his head at the moment as if he was looking at and arranging the food on the table for Jing Shengwu, but he replied in a low voice.

"It's okay, if he has something to say, he will do it to us." Jing Shengwu only picked up a piece of green jade pea yellow and put it in his mouth, feeling the tenderness and sweetness of the pea yellow, and narrowed his eyes.

Rong Chu is a person with an impermanence temperament, like a white cloud in the sky. The most gentle and delicate, but it can make you tremble when you fall into the eighteen-story ice cellar in an instant. For such a man, if she is not sure enough, she will definitely not provoke him.

"She doesn't seem to be interested in you. Rong Shizi, I'm afraid that you have to be more attentive to this girl. ”

On the opposite seat, Wu Liang Gongzi, who had been there all the time, also noticed Jing Shengwu's indifferent face, and immediately smiled at Rong Chu. Rong Chu's eyes were cold and he didn't answer, only picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.

On the seat next to him, a subtle look flashed in Chu Yu's eyes, as if he had a sense of jealousy towards Rong Chu.

In this huge Chu country, who doesn't know that this Wuliang Gongzi is the young master of the Xianwu clan, who is proficient in Qimen gossip and heavenly calculations. The young masters of the Xianwu clan in the past dynasties were all regarded by the emperor of the current dynasty as the heirs of the gods, and they were regarded as guests on the throne.

Unceremoniously, if Chu Heng wants to make up the prince, even if his mind has been decided, but if this Wu Liang Gongzi speaks against it, I am afraid that Chu Heng will weigh it a little, and even dispel this idea.

When the child conceived by the former empress was still in the womb, he was named by the emperor as a man. It's the crown prince. But later, on the day of the first queen's birth, a fire broke out in the palace, and even the first queen was burned to death in the raging fire.

Afterwards. Emperor Chu Heng knew the news, and cried bitterly for three days, and the people who buried the first queen and others in the palace were all buried in a beautiful manner, as for the crown prince in the womb of the first queen, I am afraid that he was also drowned in this raging fire just after birth.

Since then, Chu Heng has never mentioned the position of the crown prince. Although Chu Yu had the highest voice in the court, Chu Heng was close to him. But there was no idea of making him the crown prince.

How could Chu Yu not be in a hurry? So in private, he also wanted to have a good relationship with Wu Liang, so that Wu Liang could say a few kind words in front of Chu Heng. But Wu Liang Gongzi was kind to Rong Chu's face. is a cold face to others.

Seeing Chu Yu's jealous look, King Xiang laughed gloatingly. He and Rong Chu have always been at odds, but now that he sees Chu Yu and him, he is happy to see it. King Jing next to him was not jealous at all. Just sighed worriedly.

"Eldest sister. You look at Jing Shengwu's pretending to be tall, it really makes people feel disgusted when they see it. Here, Zhao Xiyan, who was already a noble person, whispered to Concubine Zhao. The long armor was pinched into the palm of his hand, and it looked really hideous.

Concubine Zhao was originally confined to Zhongcui Palace, but now Zhao Xiyan has been favored by the emperor, and she has won the emperor's love with gentleness and obedience. So when she was fortunate last night, she followed the emperor's wishes. begged him to release Concubine Zhao.

Concubine Zhao snorted coldly, nothing. He only drank the wine in front of him quietly. After waiting for Jing Shengwu's gaze to turn over, he whispered to Zhao Xiyan.

"Our purpose today is the emperor, don't worry about her fox for now. Waiting for me to get the emperor's favor, I will naturally be able to trample her under my feet again! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiyan turned her head.

"Princess, it seems that this noble lady and Concubine Zhao are restless, why don't we teach them a lesson?" Leng Yu stared coldly at the two sisters who were talking, and said coldly at the moment.

Hearing this, Jing Shengwu chuckled, got up and walked towards Concubine Shu in the second position of the upper right hand, looking at Concubine Shu's jewels, she was blessed softly. "Concubine Niangniang, Wanfu Jin'an."

Concubine Shu wore a lake blue embroidered palace satin dress with a hundred birds and a phoenix today, and a huge pearl made of east pearls on her neck, although she was nearly mid-year, she looked like a dignified beautiful woman in the end. She also had nothing to do under her knees, so she could only lean firmly against the queen's big tree.

"Yo, princess is polite, come and sit down beside me." Concubine Shu was full of smiles, and helped Jing Shengwu with her own hands, and pulled her to sit down beside her.

Jing Shengwu is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and she has mastered the financial expenses of the six palaces, and all the places where you want to spend money are over her hands. Besides, Jing Shengwu is the adopted daughter of the queen, so Concubine Shu will naturally not slack off.

"Niangniang is polite, this Changle's arrangement of this palace banquet, Niangniang still has shortcomings, wait for the father and the queen mother to come, Sheng Wu is also an early arrangement." Jing Shengwu said softly, and at the same time brought a glass of sake from the table and presented it to Concubine Shu.

The wine at this palace banquet today is all newly brewed chrysanthemum wine that Jing Shengwu instructed the Internal Affairs Office to take out. Although the old wine was brought out at the palace banquets in the past, it was expensive at the same time, but it was a little too extravagant. And this chrysanthemum wine is elegant and chic, but it does not make people feel too homely.

On top of that, I saved a lot of money at the same time. After letting Chu Heng know, he was even more happy.

"Eldest sister, I think this scene is deliberate. If she had booked a seat here, wouldn't we have to retreat? How can this emperor still be able to see our sisters? ”

Because Jing Shengwu changed his seat and sat down at the hands of Concubine Shu, there was nothing wrong with the rules. But in this way, Concubine Zhao and Rou Guiren, who were under Concubine Shu, were about to move their seats back again.

Fang Cai Jing Shengwu sat with Wang Meiren and Princess Liangyu, at the end of the banquet. Wang Mei's position is low, even if there is Princess Liangyu, it is just like that. But Jing Shengwu's identity is different, and he can naturally sit in a better position.

"Two mothers, don't mumble, now our family wants to make room for Princess Changle, and please move this seat back a little."

Just when Concubine Zhao wanted to speak, the father-in-law in charge of the Internal Affairs Office came to them with a smile. Although the tone of the father-in-law's words was quite polite, the meaning of those words made Zhao Concubine and Rou Guiren's eyes widen instantly.

Do you want to move their seats back?

Rou Guiren keenly swept towards the seats behind him, and sure enough, not only the seats of the two sisters moved back, but even the seats of Fang Guiren, Wen Yu and the others leaned back slightly. But to their annoyance, there has not been a noticeable change.

But as for the seats of the two sisters......

Seeing that the father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Office instructed his eunuchs to put the positions of the two of them on Wen Gong's side, at the end of the harem concubines, Concubine Zhao couldn't help but feel angry in her heart.

"You don't know how to lift, no, this palace is now a concubine, that is, according to the position of the noble person, how can you sit with this unfavored Wen promise? Don't give the palace another move forward! ”

Hearing this, a look of displeasure on the face of the father-in-law who was commanding was revealed. He is now relying on Jing Shengwu, and in these six palaces, even the queen mother gives him three points of thin noodles. As for this Zhao Concubine, although she was Concubine Nade in the past, she also offended many people from the Internal Affairs Office in private.

Now seeing that Jing Shengwu has demoted her from the clouds to this low-ranking Zhao Concubine, how can this father-in-law not retaliate? At that moment, he swept the dust in his hand, and said to the two sisters of Concubine Zhao with a smile, "Yo, who should I dare to be so noisy, it turned out to be our Concubine De." ”

As if he remembered something, he patted his head in fear, "Look at the memory of the minion, you are now Concubine Zhao, and you are no longer the high-ranking Concubine De Niangniang." Why didn't Niangniang be grounded in that Zhongcui Palace, but what are you doing here? ”

"Oh, the minion forgets that you're out again."

, a sneering look appeared on the face of the father-in-law in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, "Something happened to our concubine Zhao Niangniang, and those palace people in the past don't know where they went." Now it is Concubine Zhao's sister Rou Guiren, who supports you more. ”

The father-in-law looked at Concubine Zhao, who was already blue and red, and sneered, "Get up, it's really sisters of the same heart, this is the benefit of gold." Mother is blessed! ”

After these words, Zhao Xiyan, a gentle and obedient nobleman on Rao is face, couldn't help but grit her teeth. Concubine De was stumped by Jing Shengwu, pulled into the water, and was directly demoted by the emperor to the current Zhao Concubine, and was grounded for fifteen days in a row. (To be continued.) )
