Chapter 429: Temptation

The floating light of the Bei Que Zhu Palace is always singing and dancing, and the beauties like thick peach and plum are dressed in light and translucent soft gauze dance skirts, dancing gracefully and charmingly. Even though many of the infinite spring and reverie scenery are obscured by the modified dance skirts, the warm and delicate slender waist is enough to arouse the infinite reverie of the powerful men at the banquet.

After admiring it for a while, the powerful man who had already married a family retracted his gaze with great interest, and talked with his colleagues and partners about some interesting things in political affairs or daily life, so as not to continue to suffer from his wife's murderous gaze, and the creepy expression of gritting teeth or smiling flesh.

And those powerful men who have not yet started a family are not only clean and self-conscious, but the rest are all bright-eyed and engrossed in admiring the beautiful court dancers. After all, although these court dancers have a humble status, their postures are all first-class, and their dancing posture is matched with their slender and plump figures, which is enough to bring everyone a visual feast.

The imperial concubines during the banquet toasted each other and greeted each other through the banquet. The relationship is more familiar, and the princesses who are very good on weekdays will sit together in pairs, and the banquet of the horizontal and vertical imperial concubines is arranged on the eighteen-level gilded jade steps on the right side of the palace, which is different from the solemn and noble nine-level gilded jade steps, so they can be a little freer, but still have to maintain an elegant and dignified demeanor.

During the conversation, the eyes of many imperial concubines fell on the princess Li, and they saw the princess standing alone in the hall, and not far from her was the dancing court dancer. When the shallow water sleeve soft gauze swept across the surrounding banquet, it inevitably messed up the hair of the Li Imperial Princess, and the more and more contrasting Li Imperial Concubine was a little embarrassed.

But before the king could speak, Concubine Li could only stand stiffly and humiliatingly in the hall, neither could return to the seat to watch the singing and dancing, nor could she retreat to a dark corner to avoid the eyes of the concubines.

How could Her Royal Highness, who was graceful and luxurious, not notice the embarrassing situation of Princess Li? It's just that the king has made up his mind to snub the other party, so she doesn't need to open her mouth to maintain that magnanimity and mercy, after all, the wicked people have been done by the king, and she just needs to continue to play the noble and elegant identity image of Her Royal Highness the queen.

After Xu Shen sat in the banquet and entertained the nobles, he looked at the dazzling figure of Emperor Li with dim eyes, and saw that the gorgeous and luxurious figure was standing alone on the eighteen-level gilded jade steps, and Xu Shen's position was the eighteenth level on the left side of the palace, so he could see the embarrassing situation of Princess Li.

The ministers and nobles at the banquet, the royal relatives and nobles naturally noticed the situation of Concubine Li, but they were all smart people, so no one asked what was going on, but they all continued to drink and have fun as if they couldn't see it, talking and laughing, or enjoying singing and dancing, and their eyes deliberately skipped the figure of Concubine Li.

Xu Shen waited for a long time, but he couldn't wait for the next step in the plan, he glanced at the purple-clothed maid who was still kneeling on the gilded jade brick, the redness and swelling on the other party's cheeks swelled high, looking very hideous and terrifying, which shows how much strength it took to throw out such a hideous and red slap print.

It stands to reason that the king should be angry and reprimanded, but the king didn't say anything, after Her Royal Highness asked Princess Li to get up, without the king's order, Princess Li didn't dare to return to the banquet room and sit down, so she had to stand alone in the hall, and from time to time there were questions or ridicule from those princesses, which made Princess Li feel more humiliated and embarrassed.

But there was nothing to be done.

After all, the one who angered the king, even if she herself.

Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine in gorgeous clothes condescendingly admired the embarrassed and humiliated expression of the Imperial Concubine Li, and was satisfied to appreciate the embarrassing and embarrassing situation of the Imperial Concubine Li.

She glanced sideways at the King with a calm face, and Her Royal Highness the Queen, who was still smiling gently, and withdrew her gaze as a cold and sarcastic smile on her lips. She is not a fool, she naturally understands the king's intentions, rather than letting Princess Li cleverly argue and win back a game in the end, it is better to slowly torture the other party psychologically, making the other party feel completely speechless.

Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine had already arranged this palace feast today, but what she didn't expect was that Her Royal Highness would choose to do it today. Thinking about this, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine glanced at Yu Guifei thoughtfully, and secretly guessed in her heart whether Yu Guifei was also involved in today's plan.

After all, Concubine Yu was not less difficult and harsh by Concubine Li in the past, if you talk about which concubine in this palace hates and resents Princess Li the most, then in addition to those concubines who are not of high background and rank and status, it is Concubine Yu who bears the brunt. After all, Imperial Concubine Li relied on the power of her family, but she didn't give Concubine Yu a lot of face.

Of course, just the harsh criticism and difficulty in the expression and words are nothing, after all, Princess Li is not the kind of person who will only make things difficult and harsh on others in her expression and words. The pain that Yu Guifei has endured, the imperial concubine sees it in her eyes and hears it in her ears.

Because Concubine Yu's family is a scholarly family and has no power or wealth, Princess Li will bully her so unscrupulously on weekdays. In addition, Yu Guifei has a gentle and obedient temperament, and the harassment and insult of Concubine Li is just forbearance, after all, even if there is the care of Her Royal Highness the Queen, the power of Yu Guifei's family is still incomparable with that of Princess Li's family.

The wrong color and gold peacock gold crown swayed with red gold gemstone tassels, and the nails of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine slightly hooked the soft and gorgeous feather fan, and looked at the Yu Guifei with a smile, and the words were meaningful: "This time the palace feast is very well arranged, and the palace looks luxurious and extravagant, but I don't know how the jade concubine, who has always been ill, suddenly attended this year's palace banquet?" ”

Hearing the inquiry of His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, Yu Guifei smiled slightly, and her gentle and picturesque eyebrows revealed an elegant and noble scholarly demeanor: "His Royal Highness is worried about the Imperial Concubine, and the concubine's health has improved a lot in the past few years, so she can naturally participate in this year's palace feast." ”

Her shallow and gentle voice was like that of the Jade Concubine herself, she raised her eyes and stared at the beautiful face of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, and replied lightly: "Otherwise, if you have been tired and lazy in the palace, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the condition, and it will be very beneficial to the body to come out and walk around for the banquet more." ”

Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard, hooked her lips and sneered: "If this palace is not mistaken, Yu Guifei, your body has always been delicate, usually when the wind blows, you will fall ill the next day." Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Empress are sympathetic to your delicate body, and will usually take special care of you, and every year the court feast will be especially gracious, allowing you to stay in the palace and rest. ”

At this point, she lowered her eyes and stared coldly at the jade concubine, and the glorious Peacock Palace skirt surrounded her and arched her on the throne, shining like a pearl.

"What about this year...... How different is it? Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine said as she picked up the carved marigolds and played with them casually, but her eyes kept staring at the expression of the Jade Concubine, as long as the other party showed a little panicked look, she could be sure of the vague conjecture in her heart.

It's just a pity that Concubine Yu is a smart person, and she is also a smart person who forbears.

For the temptation of His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, the Jade Concubine only flicked the feather fan a few times, and her slender jade fingers lazily gently held the gilded ivory fan bone, and her expression was still as gentle and kind as a spring breeze: "This year is naturally different, if you are stuffed in the palace every year, living in a corner, won't the concubine be moldy?" ”

While relieving Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, Yu Guifei's beautiful eyes with light brown eyeliner looked at the figure of Imperial Concubine Li with a faint smile: "Besides, if it wasn't for the concubines participating in the palace banquet this year, how could they see such a scene?" I have to say...... It's really exciting. ”

At the end, Concubine Yu's tone became softer and softer, but the sarcasm between her words could be heard by anyone. Her Royal Highness looked at her carefully, and saw that this jade concubine was completely no longer the low eyebrows and pleasing eyes of the past, humble and cowardly, but was reborn like another person, becoming elegant and calm.

The most formidable enemies in the palace are not arrogant, but those who are deeply hidden.

The biggest impression of the jade concubine is that she is gentle and gentle, like a piece of beautiful jade, but the more gentle and obedient the existence, the more uneasy it makes Her Royal Highness feel uneasy, she stared at the sitting Yu Guifei, and while carefully looking at the other party, she vaguely understood something in her heart.

If the previous Yu Guifei belonged to a remote corner and just wanted to live in peace, then today she has made her position clear before, that is, she supports Her Royal Highness the Queen. Although Concubine Yu's family background is average, there is nothing else except for nobility and elegance, but it is better to have the protection and care of Her Royal Highness the Queen, as well as a little pity from the king.

Although the king's pity is only a little faint, even a little bit, but for a concubine, it is enough to gain a firm foothold in the palace. In addition, the rank of the Jade Concubine is very noble, except for her own Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine pressed on top of her head, there are no other high-grade concubines on an equal footing with the Jade Concubine.

This is a very dangerous signal.

If the Jade Concubine follows Her Royal Highness the Queen in the future, then the wind direction in the palace is bound to change again, first of all, Her Royal Highness's honor and brilliance are there, plus a high-grade Jade Concubine follows, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine does not need to think carefully to know that there will definitely be many weak concubines who choose to rely on Her Royal Highness the Queen's camp.

As for those whose families are still powerful and have a high rank of imperial concubines or concubines, they will choose to remain neutral, or have comparable families and have a good relationship, and become an independent small camp. These small camps are already a big trouble for Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, and they may attack themselves at any time, if you add those weak concubines who are attached to the queen......

That's a disgusting nuisance.

The bright golden peacock dress flowed with a luxurious and delicate glow, and Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine seemed to respond unintentionally, but there was a temptation for the Jade Concubine hidden in the ordinary sentence: "Very happy...... This word sister is really good to use, it seems that the grievances suffered in the past have been recovered in public at this moment. ”

If it was really taken back in public at this moment, why did Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine bother to say this, in the final analysis, she just wanted to test the Jade Guifei, did she know what the queen had done at today's banquet, so that she could take precautions, lest after the unlucky Empress Li, she would also be dragged into the water by some false charges.
