Concubine Li's body stood stiffly on the gilded jade bricks, and what caught her eye was the intricate patterns of exquisite carving, as well as the pure white and flawless white marble bricks and stones, and the crimson silk palace skirt embroidered with peony flowers was full of emotion, at this moment, she only felt that the whole person was cold, and even the red gold phoenix pattern nine treasures worn on her neck were much warmer than her body temperature.

The beautiful woman stared at her daughter with worried eyes, and the stiff figure and pale complexion of the imperial concubine were reflected in her eyes, and vaguely, the beautiful woman seemed to understand something, and suddenly looked up at Her Royal Highness the imperial concubine in a gorgeous crown, and her eyes seemed to stare at the place like sparks.

She was sure that everything that happened today must have nothing to do with Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, but this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was that the woman sitting on the phoenix throne --- the graceful and luxurious Her Royal Highness the Queen. Although Her Royal Highness the Queen has been smiling gently and lightly from beginning to end, and has forgiven Princess Li's gaffe before, in the whole matter, Her Royal Highness the Queen is like a fisherman.

The sandpiper is the two of the Imperial Concubine Li and the Imperial Concubine.

After all, the family's growing power Princess Li is really nothing to Her Royal Highness the Queen, Her Royal Highness's background is already the only noble glory in the Sakura country, no matter how much the king reuses the family of the Imperial Princess, but in the final analysis, it has never been able to keep pace with the real century-old family.

But Her Royal Highness the Queen doesn't take Imperial Concubine Li in her eyes, it doesn't mean that Her Royal Highness doesn't put Imperial Concubine Li in her eyes, on the contrary, only Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is the most nervous in the entire palace, she is nervous about the powerful family behind Imperial Concubine Li, and even more nervous that Imperial Concubine Li will give birth to a prince under the grace of the king.

Although Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is of noble rank and lives in the palace, she only has Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Hua Yu, an unsuccessful daughter, and Her Royal Highness the princess in the royal family can not bring her any benefits, but if she gives birth to a prince, it will be very different, even if she can't compete for the position of the king, she can inherit the honor of the prince, at least she can make Her Royal Highness the imperial concubine live a worry-free life in the second half of her life.

If Her Royal Highness the princess marries out, if Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine has the ability and means, she can plan a good marriage for the eldest princess Hua Yu, then the eldest princess Hua Yu can rely on the honor of her husband's family to take care of her biological mother, but if Her Royal Highness the imperial concubine cannot arrange a good marriage for her daughter, then after Her Royal Highness the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the second half of the life of the mother and daughter can be described as stormy.

Having lost the favor and protection of the king, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is still the humble court dancer, so she will desperately hold on to the king's favor, even if it shrouds her reputation in a colored veil of ridicule and humiliation, she will not hesitate.

But how long can the king's favor be held? There are always many beauties coming in the palace one after another, some of these beauties are from noble backgrounds, and they are the bargaining chips for the power of all parties: some beauties are from ordinary backgrounds, but they have a good appearance, which is enough to attract the attention of the king and linger for a long time. As Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine grew older, she only felt that the pressure on her head was getting heavier and heavier.

After all, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine clearly understands in her heart that the king only loves her appearance, and this beautiful face is the ultimate weapon for her promotion to Her Royal Highness, and the rest of her temperament is just the icing on the cake, where can she compare with the position of Her Royal Highness the Queen in the king's heart? She's just a shadow.

Concubine Yu swayed her feather fan lightly, looking at Imperial Concubine Li's expression. Her gaze casually stayed on the red gold phoenix pattern Nine Treasures Yingluo, and then she moved away shallowly, looking at Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine who was drooping thoughtfully on the throne.

It stands to reason that if Imperial Concubine Li falls, the ultimate beneficiary will be Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, after all, the most humble-born concubine in the entire palace is none other than Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine. The most fearful thing about Concubine Li is not her appearance and scheming, but the power of the family behind her, otherwise with Princess Li's not very smart brain, she would have been trampled in the dirt by the rest of the princesses.

If it weren't for the fear of Imperial Concubine Li's family power and the fact that they didn't dare to act easily, how could those senior imperial concubines in the palace tolerate Imperial Concubine Li's presumptuousness. Thinking about this, Concubine Yu lowered her eyes and looked at the imperial concubines in the banquet, only to see that they were all staring at the king with blazing eyes, and there was a message in their eyes--- that is, to punish the imperial concubine Li.

Looking at the hot and undisguised gazes of these imperial concubines, Concubine Yu shook her head helplessly, and the gilded carved ivory fan bone slipped a few points from the slender jade fingers. It's nothing more than the wall falling down and everyone pushing it, but in the final analysis, it is also that Princess Li is too flamboyant and dazzling, so she is jealous, and it is also her own retribution for falling into such a situation today.

If it is retribution, then who will have mercy and intercession?

and looked at all the imperial concubines at the banquet, all waiting to see the miserable end of Imperial Concubine Li.

Her Royal Highness the Queen quietly withdrew her right hand from the king's palm, and the blue phoenix silk sleeves slid down the crook of her arm, half covering the back of her white jade: "Since it is a maid serving the imperial concubine, then go back to the imperial concubine first. ”

As she spoke, she focused her gaze on the purple-clothed waitress who was kneeling and sobbing, although the purple-clothed waitress was really a little embarrassed to cry, but it could arouse everyone's pity and sympathy in the greatest scope.

When Her Royal Highness the Queen suddenly opened her mouth to mention her, the ministers and nobles in the banquet all looked at the purple-clothed maid, and the palm prints that appeared on the delicate skin were red, swollen and hideous, and they forcibly ruined the beautiful face, which made many men in the banquet unbearable to see it, and they secretly blamed Princess Li's cruelty.

The purple-clothed maid timidly raised her eyes to look at Her Royal Highness the Empress, and curled up her thin and weak body more and more, perfectly showing the sad posture of a victim: "The slave obeys orders." She covered her left cheek and staggered to her feet, perhaps she had been kneeling on the jade brick for too long, so it was inevitable that she would walk with a little limp.

Seeing her purple-clothed maid become such a sad and pitiful appearance, no matter how dignified and elegant Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is, she will never be able to bear it at this moment, after all, now is the best time, the best time to show weakness, whether she can successfully bring down Imperial Concubine Li, it depends on whether she can successfully seize this opportunity with Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine.

The peacock golden crown with tassels reflected the slightest brilliance, and the pearl in the mouth of the finch head swayed back and forth between the eyebrows of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, she frowned and looked at her purple-clothed maid, and her tone was as cold as ice water: "Imperial Concubine Li, the maid of this palace is just toasting and pouring wine for you, and there is no offense in terms of etiquette, you don't appreciate it, forget it, and you are still so blatantly bullying her." ”

Before the words fell, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine frowned, her beautiful eyes stained with pearlescent light revealed an extremely strong look of shame and indignation, and the words became more and more pressing, until the Imperial Concubine Li was forced to retreat to the point of paleness: "What's more, she is the personal maid of the palace, what is the difference between you slapping her in public and slapping her in the face of the palace?" Princess Li, you are so bold! ”

Seeing the appearance of His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine suddenly attacked, Nan Zuisheng suddenly wanted to laugh somehow, the glamorous people in the palace in front of him were actually calculating a lot in their hearts, and they were not too tired. She lowered her eyes and looked at Imperial Concubine Li, only to see that Imperial Concubine Li's eyes widened when she heard this, and then she gritted her teeth and glared at Her Royal Highness.

"Your Royal Highness, it's obvious that your purple-clothed maid approached the concubine with bad intentions, and she forcibly poured wine on the concubine! If it weren't for the sheng song and dance at that time, no one would have noticed, and the concubine would never let her go! Imperial Concubine Li looked very excited, because she had been wronged in the first place, and although her mind was indeed not very smart, no matter how stupid she was, she would not scold the maid at today's court feast.

"Forcible drinking?" Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine heard this, her lips hooked slightly, and her smile was extremely cold: "She's just a maid, so good, why did she force you to pour wine?" Concubine Li, your rhetoric is inevitably too far-fetched, don't you use this palace as a fool?! At this point, the imperial concubine deliberately emphasized her tone, and anger appeared in her expression.

Her Royal Highness frowned slightly when she saw the situation, but she didn't say anything, just quietly watched the fierce argument between the two. The king sitting beside her had dim eyes, because the queen was silently withdrawing his hand back from the queen's majesty, and the king felt depressed and anxious at this moment.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the expressions of Emperor Concubine Li and the Imperial Concubine, only to see that Imperial Concubine Li was full of anger, staring at Imperial Concubine Concubine's eyes with great resentment, as sharp and ruthless as a quenched dagger, obviously being angry, and confirming from the side that she was indeed wronged.

Others may not understand the temperament of Concubine Li, but the king does know it very well, although Concubine Li is a little arrogant, but when it comes to her mind, she is really not as smart as the concubine next to her, and she is a little stupid, if it weren't for the growing power of the family behind her, I am afraid that such a woman would have been gradually trampled under the feet of others, and then reduced to another dry bone in the palace.

And Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is anger emerged, but after all, there was no hysteria of Imperial Concubine Li, which shows that the purple-clothed maid should be the same as what Imperial Concubine Li said, and she should have made some kind of disrespectful behavior towards Imperial Concubine Li, or brought an unconcealable sense of oppression, which successfully angered Imperial Concubine Li and made Imperial Concubine Li the focus of all the lost honors at the palace feast.

The king lowered his eyes and calmly analyzed and observed the expressions of the two concubines, to be honest, he did not have the slightest affection for this Li Huang Concubine, but in order to check and balance other famous families, he had to acquiesce to the Li Imperial Concubine to enter the palace as a concubine.

He still clearly remembered that when he acquiesced to Concubine Li's entry into the palace and gave Concubine Li the rank and title, the queen's shallow glance was like water. The king clearly saw the disgust and ridicule in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Queen, and he clearly understood in his heart what Her Royal Highness hated and what ridicule was.

Her Royal Highness hated him as a king, but he hugged him left and right like a prostitute, lingering in different concubine palaces night and night, with all kinds of beautiful women in his arms. She felt that the king was the dirtiest man in the world, and that Her Royal Highness was especially disgusted that the king, after she had been fortunate enough to finish a certain concubine, consulted with her the next day on certain important matters, and that she would not meet the king except after three days.
