"The concubines dare to ask the emperor, this harem banquet still needs to be held." Seeing that Ling Yi had not announced the start of the harem banquet for a long time, and was just whispering to Su Yao above, Shangguan Yuan frowned slightly and asked in a loud voice. It didn't matter if she had waited before, but now that she's pregnant, she needs to get some rest, and she doesn't want to stay under the same roof with someone for too long.

"Concubine Shu doesn't have to worry, the harem banquet will start now." Ling Yi nodded, glanced at Ling Tian on the side, and said with a straight face.

As soon as Ling Yi's words fell, the melodious and peaceful music slowly sounded, accompanied by the dancing of the palace maids, and the huge palace suddenly became lively. Although there were smiles on everyone's faces, Su Yao didn't feel a little warmth, especially on Zhu Shijin's side, although Zhu Shijin's beautiful cheeks and sweet smile looked extremely moving, but Su Yao could only see coldness and harmony in her eyes.

The harem banquet has existed since the founding of the country, and it cannot be ignored by everyone, including Ling Yi, who is the emperor. That being said, Su Yao only felt that this banquet was really boring, everyone was smirking, she was about to fall asleep several times when she heard this music, if it weren't for Ling Yi next to her who quietly pinched her thigh every time she was about to fall asleep, Su Yao would have gone to Zhou Gong a long time ago.

"It's also the queen of a country, pay attention to the image." Ling Yi coughed lightly and reminded in a low voice.

Because of the music as a cover, Ling Yi's voice was not small this time, and even Ling Tian on the side heard it. Ling Tian turned to look at Su Yao who was squinting, two fine lights shot out of her good-looking eyes, feeling the murderous aura in Ling Tian's eyes, Su Yao was excited, and instantly sobered up a lot, she put away the idea of glaring at Ling Yi fiercely, smiled at Ling Tian, and stuffed the delicious pastry into her mouth and chewed hard.

A cow concubine and a tigress queen sister...... It's really lively in this palace...... Ling Yi bowed slightly and sat up straight, and suddenly felt that the third sister's gaze seemed to fall on him.

Ling Tian looked at Ling Yi and showed a smile that captivated the country and the city, but in Ling Yi's eyes, this smile was extremely terrifying, making him unable to help but break out in a cold sweat.

Ling Tian retracted his gaze, his beautiful face was full of "What are you thinking, sister, I know everything", Ling Yi shrunk his neck, not daring to look at Ling Tian.

"My sister has been pregnant for a few months, and my sister has never come to visit, so I am really uneasy," Although there was music around, this sound still clearly reached everyone's ears, and the owner of the voice also moved everyone's attention here, looking at the girl who stood up slowly, Su Yao frowned, Ling Tian glanced at Zhu Shijin, and also frowned.

The person who stood up with a faint smile was Su Yi'er, the straw bag that Su Yao had always hated, and what made her a little uneasy was that Su Yi'er was holding a small wine glass and walking towards Shangguan Yuan, who was expressionless. Su Yao believed that no matter how stupid Su Yi'er was, it would be impossible for her to face Shangguan Yuan in front of the emperor and Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, as well as so many palace concubines, but there was always a bad premonition, which made her very uneasy.

Ling Yi took a sip of sweet wine, he could feel that his queen was a little uneasy, although he rarely cared about the open and secret battles in the harem, he also knew many things. Shangguan Yuan is now pregnant, and he knows that many people are watching in the shadows. But the affairs of the harem are not as good as the government, and it is really impossible for him to do everything. Moreover, Zhu Shijin and Su Yier have the support of Xiangguo Zhu Yi. Even if he did it intentionally, many things could not be done as he wished.

"My sister knows that my sister can't drink alcohol when she is pregnant, this is the sweet dew caused by my sister's special order, which has the effect of soothing the fetus and nourishing the spirit," Su Yi'er came to Shangguan Yuan, bowed slightly, handed over the wine glass in her hand, and said with a smile, "I apologize to you in front of the emperor, and I hope that my sister will not hold a grudge against my sister." ”

Speaking of being in front of the emperor, Su Yier specially raised her voice a little, she said this, the implication is that in front of the emperor, I will not harm you.

After a long time, Shangguan Yuan said slowly, without looking at Su Yi'er, in front of the emperor, no matter how big her temper was, it would not be easy to attack.

"Where my sister said, you can think of your sister, my sister is grateful, how can I ask my sister to apologize. What's more, in front of the emperor, asking my sister to make amends to my sister is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Shangguan Yuan is very smart, Su Yier used the emperor's name, she returned the favor with a tooth for a tooth, and also used the emperor as a shield.

Hearing Shangguan Yuan say this, Su Yier was stunned, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Zhu Shijin only taught her two sentences, but did not teach her what to do after being rejected.

Seeing that Su Yi'er had no voice, Shangguan Yuan could be sure that Zhu Shijin instructed this straw bag to come, so that she couldn't drink that cup of something that she didn't know what it was.

"The concubine is above the concubine, and it is really inappropriate to personally offer wine to the concubine according to the rules," Seeing that Su Yi'er was only replied to and then lost her voice, Zhu Shijin secretly said a straw bag in her heart, and hurriedly said, "But since the concubine has already offered wine, if the concubine does not receive it, it is really inappropriate." ”

"In front of His Majesty, Concubine Niangniang wants the concubine to lose face?" Shen Mo on the side said peacefully.

In this way, it is equivalent to sealing Shangguan Yuan's retreat, except for Su Yier's offering of wine, Shangguan Yuan has no other choice.

Shangguan Yuan was silent, there was a rare panic in the depths of her eyes, she bit her lip, and subconsciously glanced at Su Yao.

Su Yao swallowed a mouthful of saliva deeply, only to feel that her throat was chosen, and she couldn't make a sound. She really wanted to help Shangguan Yuan, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Su Yi'er, who had always been at odds with Shangguan Yuan, suddenly offered wine for no reason, and it must have a different purpose, but the words have already been said for this part, and there is really no reason to refuse.

Ling Tian's face was calm, there was not too much emotion in his eyes, and although Ling Yi frowned, he didn't say much.

Seeing that the three people sitting on it were silent, Shangguan Yuan's eyes showed a little disappointment, she took a light breath, raised her slightly trembling hand, and wanted to take the wine glass.

"Concubine Fang said to the concubine that she was unwell, I'm afraid it should not be greedy for a cup, if the concubine doesn't mind, let the concubine drink this bar on behalf of the concubine." At this time, Li Wanyu in the back suddenly said to Su Yier with a smile.

Hearing Li Wanyu say this, Shangguan Yuan seemed to grasp the straw that saved her life, and quickly withdrew her hand that was hanging in the air, with fear and gratitude in her eyes.

When Li Wanyu said this, she completely stated her position in the harem

"Li Shunyi, this palace just said that this is not wine, it is sweet dew that can calm the nerves and nourish the fetus." Su Yi'er frowned and said with some displeasure.

"The concubine Niangniang personally offered wine to the concubine Niangniang, and if Li Shunyi replaced her, it would become the concubine Niangniang to Li Shunyi, which was not in accordance with the rules. If Li Shunyi doesn't mind, and the palace will personally offer you wine later, how about it? Zhu Shijin smiled faintly and said calmly.

It's completely sealed, and there's no other way out. is worthy of being Zhu Xiangguo's daughter, this Zhu Shijin is really powerful. Li Wanyu thought secretly and stopped talking.

Using the names of the two ladies to press her, even if Li Wanyu has the ability, there is no way.

Seeing that Li Wanyu stopped talking, Zhu Shijin turned her gaze to Shangguan Yuan, whose face was slightly pale, and looked at her with a smile.

"Xie Guifei Niangniang." Shangguan Yuan stood up with some difficulty, her little hands were already drenched with sweat. She knew that this glass of wine must be drunk, and there was no one to help her, because offering wine to a harem banquet was a common behavior, and if she forcibly stopped it without finding any evidence, she would be gossiped about.

Shangguan Yuan took the wine glass, didn't look at what was in the wine glass, only trembled and handed it to the small mouth, took a sip, unexpectedly, it was really sweet dew. Shangguan Yuan glanced at Zhu Shijin in surprise, her heart was still beating wildly, and her back was covered with cold sweat.

Zhu Shijin responded to Shangguan Yuan with a look of ridicule and teasing.

"Not really, Lady Lady? The main palace only offered a glass of wine, and you were moved so much? Su Yi'er's contemptuous voice was a little harsh. This is really relieving, and I played with Shangguan Yuan, who is extremely domineering on weekdays.

Zhu Shijin had told Su Yier before that although Shangguan Yuan was pregnant and couldn't touch her, she could use this method to give them some fun.

Su Yier has always been obedient to Zhu Shijin, very obedient, and has never thought about why Zhu Shijin, who has always been careful and methodical, would use such a naïve way to deal with Shangguan Yuan.

These two sluts are actually fooling me...... Seeing the appearance of Su Yi'er and Zhu Shijin, Shangguan Yuan realized that she had been tricked, and couldn't help but be angry. But if you think about it, she is indeed too cautious, in front of so many people, they will not and dare not attack themselves, Su Yier offered wine, and Zhu Shijin assisted frantically next to her, if she really has three strengths and two shortcomings, the two of them will definitely not be able to run. Being injured and miscarryed before, which left too much shadow on Shangguan Yuan, Zhu Shijin also knew this, so he could successfully trick Shangguan Yuan.

Seeing that Shangguan Yuan was fine, Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether there was a problem with that glass of wine, it was from Zhu Shijin and Su Yi'er, and it must be guarded against.

Halfway through the harem banquet, Shangguan Yuan, who was holding back the fire in her belly, told Ling Yi that she was feeling a little unwell and wanted to go back to the Sakura Xin Hall to rest first. Shangguan Yuan is pregnant with a dragon heir, and Ling Yi is naturally accurate.

Shangguan Yuan gave Ling Yi a salute, glared fiercely at Zhu Shijin, who had a mocking face, and left with the support of several palace maids.

Don't worry, the show has just begun. Looking at the back of Shangguan Yuan slowly leaving, the corners of Zhu Shijin's mouth hooked up a good-looking smile.

After Shangguan Yuan left, the ** smell of the banquet seemed to be much lighter, and Zhu Shijin and Su Yier lost their voices.

The extremely boring banquet ended quietly. This is Su Yao's first time participating in the harem banquet, completely subverting her previous views on the banquet, although she has never participated in any big banquets, but the family banquet for the New Year at home is very lively, her favorite is to sneak a few familiar friends away in the middle of eating, although Daddy will always stare at her fiercely, but he has never stopped them, especially in winter when the snow is falling, she likes to build a snowman and have a snowball fight with Aya. The current harem banquet is many times more luxurious and grand than her own family banquet, but it is so boring that she wants to sleep. She was still looking forward to it for a while when arranging the harem banquet, and now it seems that this harem banquet is not like a banquet, but it is really boring to forcibly gather all the concubines together.

After the banquet, Su Yao motioned for Xiaohuan to take away the sweet dew that Shangguan Yuan had taken a sip. Although she knew that if Zhu Shijin intended to harm Shangguan Yuan, it would be impossible to leave clues, but Su Yao's heart always haunted with a bad feeling.

After leaving the palace, the first thing Su Yao went to was Shangguan Yuan's Yingxin Palace, and Su Yao could see from her eyes that this little girl was a little angry, probably because she didn't help her speak, but in that situation just now, even if she was the queen, it was not easy to say anything.

The door of the Yingxin Hall was closed, and the palace maid outside said that Shangguan Yuan was a little uncomfortable and had fallen asleep. Su Yao knew that Shangguan Yuan was angry and didn't want to see her, so she didn't force it, but asked the palace maid to tell Shangguan Yuan to have a good rest, and left.

Su Yao knew very well in her heart that Shangguan Yuan seemed to be very close to her a few days ago, but in fact, it was all for the child in her belly, and Shangguan Yuan had not fully trusted herself. She is not in a hurry, after all, in this palace, every wrong step may fall into the abyss, and if you want to truly gain trust, you can't do it overnight.

Ling Tian had hinted to Su Yao a long time ago that if she wanted to gain a foothold in this palace, Ling Yi alone was not enough, Su Yao needed allies, trusted allies.

When leaving, Su Yao saw several palace maids walking into the Yingxin Hall with delicate small bowls and plates, Su Yao was curious, so she stopped the palace maids led by her and asked her what it was.

The palace maid knelt down towards Su Yao, saying that Concubine Shu was a little upset and wanted to eat sweet, so she went to the Shang Shan Bureau to ask for some longan, and took it to Concubine Shu while it was fresh.

"This season, there is actually longan?" Su Yao asked curiously, it is just spring, and longan will only come in midsummer.

"How to say it's precious, Concubine Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon heir, and she is precious in these six palaces, if she displeases Niangniang, the emperor blames it, and it is not enough for us to be slaves and maids." The palace maid said unhurriedly.

"It's also hard for you." Su Yao nodded, and was about to leave, "Serve your mother well." ”

"Congratulations to the Queen." The palace maid nodded and said respectfully, a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"What's your name?" Su Yao walked a few steps, suddenly turned around and asked coldly.

"Slave, slave maid Xiaoyue......" The palace maid obviously didn't expect Su Yao to suddenly ask her name, so she was flustered for a moment and said subconsciously.

"Don't be nervous, I'll just ask." Su Yao looked at Xiao Yue with a smile and said softly, "You, you are very good at talking." ”

Xiao Yue hung her head, knelt on the ground and didn't speak, her back was cold sweat. It is said that this queen mother is in name only, and she is the same as the concubine Niangniang, when I see it today, how is it different from the rumors......

Good at observing from all aspects, happy and angry and invisible, how can such a person be a mediocre person?

Those palace maids and eunuchs who can only chew the root of their tongues behind other people's backs will never believe them in the future!

Underestimated, this time it was really underestimated......
