"Hasn't the queen come yet?" Concubine Xi couldn't help but mutter.

A eunuch who was running errands trotted in, and after approaching Pan'er and whispering a few words, Pan'er immediately approached Concubine Xi and whispered: "Niangniang, Aunt Fang next to the queen is here." ”

"Only she, the queen, didn't come?" Concubine Xi frowned and asked.

Pan'er's heart is tight, and the mother is in a bad mood again, it's really unlucky!

Thinking about it, she replied unusually deferentially: "I didn't say that there was a queen." ”

"What does the queen want to do, did she deliberately come so late just to let the palace wait for her and show her majesty as the lord of the harem?" Concubine Xi's face changed, and she muttered to herself with some indignation.

Pan'er suddenly had a bad premonition, she secretly glanced at Concubine Xi with a dark face, and after her lips moved, she finally lowered her head and frowned, without saying a word.

Concubine Xi glared at Pan'er, and said in a choked voice: "What are you doing in a daze, do you need everything to be ordered by this palace?" Don't wait for someone to come in yet! ”

Yu Yao, who was sitting in the lower middle position, naturally swept her eyes over Concubine Xi, and when she saw the scene of Concubine Xi's face changing after the message, she naturally withdrew her gaze and threw it on the dim sum placed on the table, squinting her eyes as if she was seriously pondering the dim sum.

And Concubine Xi's words were backward, because of the queen, thinking of Yu Yao who joined forces with the queen, she couldn't help but stare at Yu Yao.

"I've seen Concubine Xi, Niangniang Jin'an!" Aunt Fang, who came in with the eunuchs, respectfully saluted Concubine Xi.

Because of the words that Queen An Shi admonished her in Kunning Palace's previous invitation, even if Concubine Xi's heart swelled again, and she felt that she would be the final winner in the future, she would not dare to deliberately rectify Aunt Fang at this moment so as to lose the queen's face.

Instead, she deliberately put on a modest attitude, and said with the atmosphere of Concubine Xi: "No courtesy." ”

After Aunt Fang stood up again, she continued to ask in a kind manner: "I don't know when the queen mother will arrive, the palace and other harem sisters are waiting for the queen mother." ”

Aunt Fang said euphemistically: "The queen mother is busy with harem affairs, so it is inconvenient to come to the flower viewing banquet, and the mother said that she doesn't have to wait for her." ”

"What! The queen is not coming! Concubine Xi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Yu Yao looked at Concubine Xi's style, and secretly rolled her eyes: You are the queen, you are just a concubine, you are here to give you face, if you don't come, you are not qualified to say anything as a concubine.

But Yuyao looked at Concubine Xi's abruptly distorted face, and knew that Concubine Xi's face was big and her thoughts were strange.

Concubine Xi pulled her veil angrily, and only then did she endure the anger that was about to explode.

It's just that a famous queen has so much to give this concubine who has a son so much, this palace is not the biological mother of Hongday, the unpromising prince, but the biological mother of the fourth prince Hongli, who is most valued by the emperor.

Oh, look at how long your dignity as a queen can be maintained, today's insult, sooner or later this palace will return it.

Aunt Fang listened to Concubine Xi's shocked words, a little speechless, and lowered her head to hide the mockery on the corner of her mouth.

"Yes, the queen mother is not available, so she will not come." The tone was as respectful as before.

Concubine Xi smiled stiffly, but her eyes couldn't hide her anger and said stiffly: "That, it's a pity!"

Aunt Fang sneered in her heart, it is not a pity to make Concubine Xi unhappy at all.

But he still said respectfully: "Concubine Xi, the words of the slave maid have arrived, so I will go back to serve the queen!" With that, she immediately said goodbye to Concubine Xi.

Concubine Xi immediately nodded in agreement, and she couldn't wait for the person in front of her to disappear in front of her immediately.

Out of sight is pure!

Otherwise, looking at the other party's respectful appearance, I thought of the queen's dignified and virtuous appearance, and then thought of the queen despising her and not giving her face to come to her flower-viewing banquet, and the anger she suppressed surged even more!

After the others left, Concubine Xi couldn't help but glare at Yuyao.

Yu Yao, who happened to meet the other party's gaze, was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and wondered, why did this Concubine Xi stare at her, she was obviously still angry with the queen, why did she turn to her all of a sudden?

While not understanding, be vigilant and beware of Concubine Xi's upcoming target.

Wait, wait, wait, the vigilant target still hasn't come.

Yu Yao picked up the teacup and glanced at Concubine Xi naturally through the afterglow, but found that Concubine Xi was thinking about something with a dark face.

Yu Yao: ...... Concubine Xi, what's wrong?

Yu Yao, who didn't understand, stole a glimpse of Concubine Xi's every move from time to time.

Not long after, Concubine Xi, who was thinking about something, waved with a dark face to the personal palace maid Pan'er on the side to approach, and then whispered something to the other party.

"Pan'er, you said that the queen didn't come, in addition to losing face in the palace, did you still want to take the opportunity to provoke the palace and make the palace careless, so that she could attack the palace?"

Pan'er was a little confused, why did she think that the queen just didn't want to give her face, and she didn't want to come!

However, you can't say that, if you say this, it will make Niangniang's brain not smart enough, so you still have to follow Niangniang's words.

"The mother is smart, the slave didn't expect the queen to be so ill-intentioned."

Concubine Xi's face looked better, but she still cautiously instructed Pan'er: "You let people pay attention to the surroundings of the palace, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes, let the palace fall or what's wrong." ”

Pan'er nodded seriously, "The slave will tell them again later." ”

"Again", Concubine Xi glanced at Yu Yao, and Yu Yao, who looked at Concubine Xi, winked innocently, Concubine Xi snorted coldly, turned her eyes back to Pan'er, and continued: "Let people keep an eye on the Guerjia clan again, she has joined forces with the queen, and it is estimated that the queen will do something through her." ”

Pan'er nodded seriously again in response, and at the same time proposed: "The king who lives in the queen's palace promises, Niangniang, see if you want to keep an eye on it, after all, she is also the queen's person." ”

"Be cautious as you suggest, and do as you say." Concubine Xi nodded in agreement.

After a while, Yu Yao noticed that there was an extra palace maid beside her, and she kept staring at her.

She lowered her eyes, her eyes were deep for a moment, Concubine Xi stared at herself like this, what did she want to do?

Yu Yao, who couldn't figure it out, decided to brake quietly, just sat on the seat, drank tea, ate snacks, and listened to the chat of the concubines on the side with her ears upright.

Although she was bored, she endured it, and always kept her heart up and vigilant.

But after waiting for a long time, I still didn't see any action from Concubine Xi.

She peeked at Concubine Xi again, and saw that Concubine Xi was drinking tea a little absent-mindedly.

I can't help but be a little speechless, this flower-viewing banquet was held by your Concubine Xi, just sit on it and drink tea, and it's gone?

Could it be that this is Concubine Xi's means, deliberately gathering them together, watching their boring chatter, and watching the harem concubines isolate her.

But when you think about it, it doesn't feel right.

Yu Yao, who still couldn't think of anything, continued to drink tea boringly, ate snacks, and waited.

At the same time, the heart said: Isn't it just waiting? Her skills in this area are still very good, to see who is impatient first, who makes the first move.

As a result, it was other concubines who were impatient, such as Ning Guiren Lin Changzai, etc.

"Concubine Xi, concubine sees the blooming flowers here and wants to get closer and enjoy them." Ning Guiren took the lead in proposing.

Lin Changzai on the side echoed: "The concubine looked at these flowers, and the interest came, and she also wanted to get closer to enjoy it, and I hope that the mother would allow it." ”
