For a long time, Zhao Qingshui knew the emperor's importance to the General's Mansion and the status of the General's Mansion in the court.

Therefore, she could stumble the queen by relying on her favor and ridicule Jin Roujia, but she didn't dare to target Peng Mo.

Because competing for favor and involving the government are two different things, she can't and dare not touch the emperor's bottom line, because, without grace, she will have no foothold.

Thinking of this, she suppressed the anger in her heart, smiled softly, and said, "It was the palace that lost her hand, and the fourth miss was wrong!"

Peng Moying's eyes looked directly at Zhao Qingshui's dark eyes with a smile, and said, "In this way, the courtiers will be at ease." ”

Jin Roujia didn't have Peng Mo's quiet temperament, she raised her neck arrogantly, and said, "Hmph! This princess will not stop this matter, Concubine Xiang, let's see!" After speaking, she pulled Peng Mo back to her seat.

Zhao Qingshui sneered at Jin Roujia's cruel words and ignored them, she was not even afraid of the queen, would she be afraid of a princess?

It was the first time that Princess Gong had seen Jin Roujia defend a person like this, and her eyes were even more obscure when she looked at Peng Mo for a while.

King Qu, King Jin, and King Ning saw that Jin Roujia and Peng Mo had such a good relationship, and their thoughts were also flowing.

The corners of Jin Yanchen's lips were lightly raised, and her fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, little girl, she was becoming more and more cautious.

Peng Hao looked at Peng Mo's situation from a distance, his eyebrows were full of worry, a pair of fists were clenched loosely, loosened, and his palms were covered with cold sweat.

How could Mo'er suddenly be placed in the royal seat?

Those jackals, tigers and leopards, can she handle them?

Wei Yingran had been nervously watching Peng Mo outwit everyone, and after seeing Zhao Qingshui's defeat, he smiled lightly, and his eyes instantly softened.

He glanced sideways at Peng Hao's anxious expression on his side, and asked in a shallow voice, "Is the third young master worried about his sister?"

Peng Hao nodded, frowned, and said, "Mo'er has a soft temperament, I'm afraid that I will be bullied." ”

Wei Yingran smiled and said, "Roujia and all the princes are here, even if Concubine Xiang is favored, she doesn't dare to go too far, and Miss Peng Si is smart and can always deal with it." ”

Zhao Qingshui vs. Peng Mo? Wei Yingran did not hesitate to choose Peng Mo to win!

Don't look at her sheep-like appearance, she is more fierce than a wolf on the inside!

After many years, Peng Mo knew that Wei Yingran had commented on her like this, and he was not angry, but felt that he had met a confidant, don't talk about her, how could Wei Yingran himself? The unknown insight and wisdom hidden under the peaceful exterior are enough to threaten everyone!

Peng Hao heard Wei Yingran say this, and his mushy head suddenly cleared, yes, Jin Roujia and Jin Yanchen are also there, they will never watch Mo'er being bullied!

"It's a good palace banquet, it's ruined by her, it's really unlucky!" Jin Roujia glared at Zhao Qingshui and muttered secretly.

Peng Mo looked at Jin Roujia's puffed up appearance, and chuckled: "Concubine Xiang is now pregnant with a dragon heir, and the emperor is favored, so naturally she has to be a little arrogant, what are you angry with her? Wouldn't it lower your style?"

Jin Roujia took a deep breath and said, "I know, I am a heroic woman, and I don't care about villains!"

Peng Mo appeased Jin Roujia, looked at the layout of the hall without anything, browsed the place of the ladies without a trace, and when she saw a woman dressed in pink and hiding her face with a light veil, her cherry lips were slightly upturned, and her beautiful eyes were full of coldness.

She is not stupid, she can seize the opportunity to participate in this palace banquet, but she came as a maid, and it seems that she has not yet gained a firm foothold in Shangshu Mansion!

In this way, thinking about the "affection" entangled in the two lives, how about I, Peng Mo, deign to help you again?

Although Ruyu's identity is an adopted daughter, she has not been included in the family tree, and she has not been introduced to the clansmen by Qi Shangshu, so the identity of the second lady of the Qi family is limited to Shangshu Mansion.

She couldn't participate in the palace banquet due to her identity restrictions, so the original candidate to follow the Dong family into the palace was not her, but the maid Snow Goose, it was she who designed to make the Snow Goose suddenly sick and bedridden, so that she could get her wish to enter the palace, but she was still the identity of the Dong family's maid.

She secretly hated in her heart, but since she had entered this prosperous place, she had to take this opportunity to change this lowly identity!

Since Qi Yeru didn't want to admit her identity as an adopted daughter to the outside world, she forced him to admit it!

At this moment, looking at this palace banquet where many nobles gathered, she couldn't stop the excitement in her heart, especially after seeing His Royal Highness King Jin, who she had loved for a long time, her heart was about to get drunk, and a pair of eyes looked at him with obsession.

He seems to have lost a lot of weight than when he was at the banquet of the king, but he still can't hide his scorching demeanor and humble posture.

It's just a pity that such a fairy person, but married a stupid wife, looking at the ugly woman Yang Hua sitting on the royal seat, her fingernails like rain are embedded in the flesh, anger and jealousy burn her heart fiercely, an ugly woman can be the concubine of King Jin, why can't she?

After a while, her gaze moved from Yang Hua to Peng Mo, there seemed to be thousands of knives in her eyes, fierce and ruthless, Peng Mo... You're doing well!

"Yu'er. Dong stretched out his hand and probed Qi Yu at his side.

This call interrupted Ruyu's thoughts, lowered his eyes impatiently at the disgusting blind woman, took a deep breath, leaned closer to Dong, and whispered softly. "Mother, I'm here. ”

Dong took his daughter's hand and asked worriedly: "After standing for so long, are you tired?" asked her daughter to participate in the banquet as a maid, she was guilty, but Shangshu He didn't approve of Yu'er, and she couldn't force it.

Ruyu straightened Dong's messy clothes, and Ying Ying smiled: "Mother, my daughter is not tired, my mother can rest assured." ”

Dong patted his daughter's hand, feeling warm for her sensibility.

Half an hour has passed since the original time of the palace banquet, and the people in the hall are a little unable to sit still, and they are all talking about each other.

Fang Shixing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, looked sideways at the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Youyue, and asked softly: "This palace banquet has passed for half an hour, why hasn't the emperor come yet?" This palace banquet was planned by the Ministry of Rites, so he knew the start and end times of the banquet clearly.

Yan Youyue was also at a loss, and said in a low voice: "I don't know the officials, maybe the emperor has encountered an urgent political matter?"

Zhao Shuchang heard the whispers of the two, and leaned over and asked, "Isn't the emperor not coming?"

Fang Shixing looked at Zhao Shuchang and smiled: "It shouldn't be, the inner chamberlain didn't come to deliver the decree, and he wanted to come to the emperor but he was delayed on the way, so don't be impatient." ”

Zhao Shuchang chuckled, pointed to King Qu and King Ning above, and said, "You say, is the emperor's late arrival aimed at those two?"

This voice is not low, it is not high, but several officials sitting there heard it, and secretly frowned, the purpose of this banquet is to celebrate the success of King Qu and King Ning, and now the emperor is late for no reason, is it really to embarrass the two of them on purpose?

But didn't the emperor still send the Ministry of Rites to welcome the two into Beijing yesterday, so it doesn't make sense?

Zhao Shuchang looked at the expressions of several people, and his eyes were full of pride, he just wanted to shake the hearts of these court officials, so that he could take advantage of the weakness, sit back and collect benefits, and accumulate contacts for the Eighth Prince!

King Gong looked at King Qu and King Ning, whose faces were not very good, frowned and looked at the palace gate, and whispered to the little servants beside him, "Go and see why the father and queen mother haven't arrived yet?"

Jin Yanchen remembered Zhao Qingying's bold move just now, smiled lightly, and said, "The imperial nephew doesn't need to worry, the imperial brother should be delayed on the way." ”

King Qu and King Ning smiled lightly when they heard Jin Yanchen's comfort, but they were still apprehensive in their hearts.

The only people present who knew the emperor's "reason for being late" were Jin Yanchen and the five of them.

When Peng Mo and Jin Roujia heard their conversation, they both looked at Zhao Qingshui with their eyes.

Zhao Qingshui was inexplicably surprised by the two, snorted coldly, and opened his eyes.

"Do you think she will go crazy with anger after she knows the truth?" Jin Roujia whispered in Peng Mo's ear.

Peng Mo thought about it quite seriously, with Zhao Qingshui's strong personality, knowing that he was dug up by his own sister, he was afraid that he would lift the roof angrily, and nodded: "Yes." ”

Jin Roujia smiled with satisfaction, and her depressed mood brightened up.

Just when everyone was speculating about the reason for the emperor's tardiness, a shrill voice sounded outside the hall. "The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived!"

The whispering in the hall suddenly died down, followed by the sound of clothes gently rubbing, and everyone got up and knelt on the ground, shouting long live to welcome the upcoming emperor and queen.

Peng Mo quietly looked up, the emperor's clothes had been changed again, but his face was still a little stiff, and he still had a grudge against the "act of favoritism" just now.

The queen didn't see anything unusual on her face, and she didn't know if she didn't know that Zhao Qingying was "crazy".

The emperor and queen accepted the bows of the people, walked through the hall together, and sat down on the throne.

The emperor's eyes wandered in the hall, and he raised his hand for a moment, and said, "The Qing's family is flat." "The voice is deep and majestic.

Everyone got up in thanksgiving and sat down.

The emperor also knew that he was late, and he did not delay at the moment, raised his wine glass and looked at the crowd: "Some time ago, Shuangxia Town was a disaster, fortunately blessed by the sky, there were not too many casualties in the town, I sent King Qu and King Ning to go to the disaster relief on behalf of me, and the two of them lived up to my expectations, and Shuangxia Town has been on the right track in an orderly manner in just over a month, so I set up a banquet today to treat the two of them." ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly raised their glasses and got up, and exclaimed: "The emperor's wise move, King Ning of Qu has worked this trip." ”

Jin Rui looked at the officials' appreciation of King Qu and King Ning, his eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth and drank this glass of wine.

If he hadn't had an accident at the time, he would have been one of the objects of celebration now.

It's just that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, he never thought that he would accidentally stumble and fall off the cliff, and he was forced to accept Yang Hua, a fool, as a side concubine.

If he hadn't unexpectedly won the support of the new forces, he would have been afraid of death!

Peng Mo took a shallow sip and put it down, she drank a lot of wine, so as not to be ugly or drink less.

Jin Roujia was bold and did it in one go.

The emperor looked at the scene of the monarchs and ministers having fun, the stiffness on his face eased a little, held the empty wine glass, and raised his voice: "The palace banquet begins." ”
