Originally, the chances for these concubines to get ahead under Gu Xi's management were very few, but now if they don't take advantage of the New Year to show in front of Emperor Duan, they will completely lose the opportunity to regain favor.

What's more, many concubines have prepared a lot of careful talents for today's palace banquet, so all their efforts will be in vain.

Gu Xi's ruthlessness and decisiveness also shocked the other concubines, and they all knelt on the ground in an uproar, "Please also ask Concubine Xi to be gracious, she is just confused for a while, please allow her to go to the palace for the New Year, otherwise if Your Majesty sees a vacant position in the concubine, I am afraid that she will also ask displeasure." ”

Gu Xi's face was still cold, "The palace banquet every year is in my hands, and now it is easy to remove a position, if she is so bold and wanton to speak, if she says anything unpleasant in front of His Majesty, you are all willing to be punished together?" ”

"This ......"

Gu Xi flicked his sleeves fiercely, "It's not too early, go back and prepare, if there is any more plea, stay in the harem like her, and don't have to go to the palace!" ”

After saying that, Gu Xi walked out of the door without looking back, the entire Qianli back seemed to be exuding anger, and everyone in the room naturally didn't dare to say another half a word, in fact, they all knew why Gu Xi was so angry, but it was a pity that someone didn't have long eyes and had to hit her gun.

If it is said that the women in the harem tonight are afraid that there is no winner, because most of them have guessed the reason why Emperor Duan did not summon them, it is because he now has a favorite person by his side, Miss Dou'er.

Gu Xi walked all the way, even the cold evening breeze did not recede her anger, she didn't expect that she had survived for so many years, and after surviving Su Zhi and so many strong opponents in the harem, she finally sat in the position of the queen, but she was about to be robbed of the limelight by a dancer who came out of nowhere.

In the past, Emperor Duan would let Gu Xi manage the affairs of the Six Palaces, and he would also have a drink with her at various dinners, but according to the recent events, let alone drinking, I am afraid that Emperor Duan would not even look at her, and when he thought of this, Gu Xi couldn't wait to rush up and tear the dancing girl's face now.

But after learning the lesson last time, Gu Xi also understood that even if she has such an honor now, she still can't do whatever she wants, not to mention that she has always been used to killing people with a knife, so why do you want to do it yourself.

Here Gu Xi was angry, but over there Su Zhi ate a stomach full of fruit, she stretched out her hand while eating, "You put your stomach in a little, why did you become so fat, inhale!" ”

Emperor Duan complained bitterly, and his stomach, which had just been withdrawn for a few seconds, was instantly beaten back to its original form in Su Mao's hands, and Su Mao had no choice but to buckle a looser belt on Emperor Duan when Su Zhi was not paying attention.

Emperor Duan reluctantly walked to Su Zhi's side and spoke, "You can sit down in a while, I ordered someone to set up a seat for you next to you, it's okay." ”

"Don't sit, what's the matter with me sitting on the main hall as a maid, I can hold on."

"But after all, you are also so old, I am afraid that your standing leg hurts, what should I do, wait a while......"

"Don't sit down, don't sit," Su Zhi impatiently threw the banana peel on the table, "It's good that I'm not there, I'm not squeamish enough to do that, but you, don't be embarrassed for Jing Qi to marry the princess of the Bing Kingdom, even if they come tonight, you are not allowed to marry directly, I always have to ask Jing Qi what he means." ”

"Okay, how can I forget what I promised you," Emperor Duan glanced sideways at Su Mao, "What time is it, how long will it be before the palace banquet starts?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are still about two sticks of incense, and it's just right for you to walk over now."

Emperor Duan answered, turned around and came back with a coaxing expression of the ancestor, "Let's sit in the sedan chair together, right?" ”

Su Zhi gave him a look of her own experience, "What do you say?" ”

Emperor Duan suddenly furrowed his eyebrows, "This can't do this, that can't work, no, if you don't sit in a sedan chair with me, then I won't go!" ”

Su Zhi burst out laughing, leaned closer to see Emperor Duan's already ravine-edged face, and said with a smile, "How old are you this year, why are you still gambling on such anger, you didn't call me less before I married you." ”

"That's different, since I fell in love with you, how can I still let you suffer the slightest grievance, in short, you can't work so hard tonight, you have to rely on me once."

Seeing Emperor Duan's resolute attitude, Su Zhi had to admit defeat with a smile, "Then I'll just sit for a while and come down and walk when I get to the front hall?" ”

Emperor Duan bargained for a while, and finally finalized the specific location of Su Zhi's sedan chair before he was willing to be served by Su Mao out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, as soon as their group came out, the palace maids who were also wearing veils who were originally guarding outside consciously followed Su Zhi's side, confusing her perfectly, Emperor Duan looked back from time to time to confirm several times, and felt that there was no flaw before walking to the front hall satisfied.

At this time, the hall was already full of civil and military officials and imperial relatives, as expected, Tang Meng really caused a lot of sensation when he appeared, everyone thought that Princess Yi was not favored, but after experiencing the last palace banquet, they all changed their views, but there are still many people who think that Duan Jingyi has always been cold and cruel, and Tang Meng may only be used for a moment, and will not be favored for a long time.

But I didn't expect to see the two of them again this time, Tang Meng seemed to be more radiant and glamorous, and Duan Jingyi was also as protective of her as always, and there was no sign of use, at this moment, it made many young ladies from high-ranking officials and nobles angry, and I don't know how many people's dreams of marrying into the Yi Wangfu were shattered again, among which in addition to the young ladies, other heartbroken people were Gu Shao.

As the soon-to-be-appointed waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he watched Tang Meng and Duan Jingyi walk in front of him lovingly, sitting straight in front of him not far away, as if even their backs were writing sarcasm and showing off, which made Gu Shao's heart rise with anger for no reason.

It's just that all Gu Shao's anger was dissipated in the air, Duan Jingyi and Tang Meng didn't care about Gu Shao's position and expression, compared to him, Tang Meng was more concerned about which daughter Tang Chengen brought to the palace banquet this time, Tang Meng's eyes patrolled around, and finally saw Tang Nuoqing in plain clothes in an inconspicuous corner.

She is still as low-key as ever, but this plain color has become the most eye-catching one among many women with heavy makeup, Tang Meng playfully hooked the corners of her lips, sure enough, no woman in the deep mansion compound is a soft character, even if she wants Tang Nuoqing, a person who seems to be indisputable and unscrupulous, also hides a unique scheming.
