In the following time, Xiao Yuyue found that everything was not going well.

First of all, although the palace affairs of the harem are taken care of by Concubine Cen Guifei. However, because Concubine Jin was favored, the small banquets in the palace at the end of the year and the beginning of the year to entertain the inner and outer women were all presided over by Cen Guifei and Concubine Jin.

Xiao Yuyue is reused by Concubine Jin and is the emperor's cousin, with a special status, and she will also help Concubine Jin to seize power and Zhang Luo's banquet together.

Although the eldest princess of Shangde is a princess and the emperor's own sister, she is too lazy to participate in the struggle for power and profit of these concubines in the harem, and she has never been involved in this kind of thing.

But this year, the emperor annoyed Concubine Jin and only asked Concubine Cen to preside over the banquet alone. Concubine Jin herself has lost this right, and Xiao Yuyue can't even touch the edge.

You must know that Zhang Luo presided over the banquet, not only to do one thing, but also to convey a message to the inside and outside, that is, who is favored and who is out of favor.

Although Concubine Jin knew that the emperor was jealous of the power of the Cen family and would not really favor Concubine Cen, maybe she was just pretending, but she still hated it so much that she didn't even send the invitation to Xiao Yuyue to the banquet, and even told everyone at the banquet that Xiao Yuyue would no longer be the caretaker of the Beijing Women's Academy.

At this moment, the endless stream of New Year's greetings in the Pingyang County Government can no longer be seen, and it is completely "sparse in front of the door"; Even with the banquets held by various prefectures after the middle of Beijing, they didn't hand over invitations to Xiao Yuyue, and Xiao Yuyue really tasted what it means to be warm and cold.

That's not all, there are also problems with several shops opened by her family. First of all, the supplier of the silk shop said that the goods were tight, and the number of goods supplied was greatly reduced, not to mention, many bright-colored satins were out of stock and could not be supplied. Even the other ones that are not bright have also raised the price. Other shops have also had these problems.

Before Xiao Yuyue could solve these problems, the backyard caught fire again.

Every year at the beginning of the year, the county government has to hold a banquet, and this year she gritted her teeth and did it, and personally went to the door to invite some people to attend the banquet.

As a result, some guests couldn't wipe their faces, and couldn't afford the reputation of the power eye, so they came to the county lord's mansion to attend the banquet, and the two strange children ran to the gate crying, saying that their mother was sick and wanted to find their father, and they grabbed the clothes of the county horse.

When everyone inquired, it was the county horse who raised the outer room outside, and gave birth to two children, the eldest of whom was ten years old.

Xiao Yuyue has always been proud of the concubines in front of people, and as soon as these two children came to the door, they directly let the people in the capital see her jokes.

"It's all that stinky girl who hurt me." Xiao Yuyue fell into a low point in her life, she didn't dare to resent Concubine Jin, let alone complain about the emperor, she only hated Zhao Ruxi to the core.

If Zhao Ruxi hadn't refused her solicitation, she wouldn't have called someone to deal with Zhao Ruxi, which annoyed the emperor and Concubine Niangniang and made her fall to this point.

She originally planned to ask someone to deal with Zhao Ruxi at the banquet and ruin her reputation. At this time, I can't wait for Zhao Ruxi to be discredited immediately.

But the old lady of Suiping Bofu suffered from the wind cold at this time and was sick, and the family of four in Suiping Bofu did not participate in any banquets on the grounds of illness, so Xiao Yuyue's plan fell through.

In fact, this is God's favor for Xiao Yuyue. Otherwise, Zhao Ruxi came to the banquet, she really implemented these plans, and Zhao Ruxi, who ate the Agility Pill and the Strength Pill, would definitely not suffer, but Xiao Lingyan's revenge on Xiao Yuyue was something that Xiao Yuyue couldn't bear.

Of course, that's all for later.

……

Three days after the talent contest.

On this day, Guozijian posted the list of the top fifteen winners in the painting competition outside the gate of Guozijian, and Zhao Zhiwei's name was impressively in the first place.

The top fifteen paintings were also framed and exhibited in the exhibition hall in front of Guozijian, and Zhao Ruxi's paintings were naturally among them.

Because the painting competition went wrong, Mei Zhongjun publicly questioned the fairness of Zhao Ruxi's first place and Mr. Deadwood, Peng Guoan and others, and the matter spread widely. Soon after the game, those who didn't come to watch it already knew. On the second day, it was even more known to the court.

Along with these rumors, there was also the news that Zhao Ruxi was the author of the 25,000 taels of unknown paintings at the auction.

Everyone was very surprised and discussed.

Therefore, as soon as Guozijian's painting exhibition was exhibited on this day, many people flocked to see what it looked like to sell for 25,000 taels of silver and be beaten by Peng Guoan and others.

Although the painting of 25,000 taels is not the same as this painting, it is painted by the same person, and the style and level are similar, so everyone is naturally on a par.

And this look, the vast majority of people are impressed.

There is a jealousy of Xianxian, or because of Zhao Ruxi's status and contempt for her, and he is unwilling to admit how good her paintings are, but he does not dare to refute everyone's praise.

The main reason is that Zhao Ruxi's painting momentum is too strong, and his painting skills are also mature, so he really can't find any faults.

The most important thing is that the emperor also admires Zhao Zhiwei's paintings. Not only did he not regret that he spent 25,000 taels of silver to photograph the painting, but he also often took it out to admire with the ministers, and praised it.

A few days later, Qi Xuan, a girl from the Weiguo Mansion, held a small banquet to entertain her little sisters, and as soon as they met, she asked Zhao Ruyu: "Ruyu, do you know that the painting that sold for 25,000 taels of silver at the first auction was painted by your sister Zhao Ruxi?" ”

"Yes, why didn't you tell us about such a big thing? You wouldn't know it, would you? Xiao Ziyi, another girl from the noble family, said.

Zhao Ruyu, as a reborn person, entered the Beijing Women's Academy, so she naturally wanted to find a few golden thighs to hug.

But she is very picky, and she is unwilling to contact more people who fail in the coup d'état and end miserably in the future, let alone make friends. The people she wants to make friends are all in the future.

But she wanted to make friends, but those princesses and county lords didn't look down on her.

Suiping Bofu is at the bottom of Xungui, Zhao Ruyu is still a person in the second room, her life experience of being held wrong is known to everyone, everyone knows that she was originally a country girl, her blood is low, and she became Miss Suiping Bofu by mistake.

In addition, the princesses and county lords originally had their own group of supporters, and those fans were xenophobic, Zhao Ruyu's status was too low, and she couldn't squeeze into other people's circles, and she couldn't get into other people's circles if she wanted to.

In the end, the people who were willing to play with her were some people with relatively low backgrounds.

Although the status of the Patriotic Mansion is not high, it is not low; Moreover, it is still a neutral, and it is not the one to be liquidated in the coup d'état later. In addition, the two governments are still related, so Zhao Ruyu took the initiative to get to Qi Xuan's side, and Qi Xuan didn't push her away. Zhao Ruyu became a person in Qi Xuan's small circle.

The old lady was sick, the Zhu family was sick, and Zhao Ruyu couldn't attend the big and small banquets at the end of the year. But Zhao Ruyu can still participate in the private banquet set up by these little sisters.
