Luo Xuanran summoned Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu immediately came to Weiyang Palace to see Luo Xuanran.

The ink painting served tea to the concubine, and the concubine took a sip and put it down.

Luo Xuanran asked, "Concubine Shu is not used to drinking the tea here in the palace?" Now everything is in your Yixiang Palace, and this palace is still an old spring tea here. ”

"The queen's mother, the concubines and concubines assisting in the affairs of the harem are just a few days ago, how can it be so exaggerated as the queen said? Besides, the new summer tea in the concubine's palace was sent by the queen to the chamberlain, has the queen forgotten it? ”

Luo Xuanran didn't expect Concubine Shu to refute her words, Concubine Shu has always been submissive, and she never spoke disobediently: "Concubine Shu looks at it now, but she is bolder than before." ”

"The concubine is just telling the truth." Concubine Shu said, "Besides, the concubine is only the assistant of the six palaces, and the lord of the six palaces is still the queen mother, why should you be arrogant in front of the concubine?" ”

Luo Xuanran smiled: "Sister Concubine Shu is really sensible, you have only been in charge of the Sixth Palace for a few days, and the emperor praised you for being organized." The palace has been the master of the six palaces for so many years, and he has not received a word of praise from the emperor. ”

"The concubines can have the cultivation grace of the queen's mother today." Concubine Shu replied, "I just don't know what the queen mother is doing today to urgently summon her concubines?" ”

"I don't blame you, you haven't been involved in harem affairs before, and it's reasonable that some things are not well thought out. Now that the marriage between the eldest prince and the second prince is set, is it time for the concubine's sister to prepare for a feast? Luo Xuanran asked.

The marriage of Wen Zhiyan and Wen Zhiyu was presided over by the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian, and Qin Tianjian handed over the auspicious day to the Chu Emperor to choose, and the Chu Emperor felt that the days were too far apart, so he let the two get married on the same day.

The two princes got married on the same day, which was to have a banquet in the harem, to entertain all the nobles in the capital, and also to announce the two young ladies who were about to become princesses in the world.

"Sister Shufei has never experienced this, so it's better to leave the Liufang banquet to the palace." Luo Xuanran said that the reason why she said this was actually to tell everyone who was the real master of the harem through the Liufang Banquet.

Concubine Shu smiled slightly: "The queen mother, the concubine also knows the old custom of the Liufang banquet, so she sent someone to ask on the day of the emperor's wedding." The emperor felt that the queen had handled the marriage of the prince's East Palace before, which had caused such a big change, so it was better to let the concubines do the banquet. ”

"Did the emperor really say that?" Luo Xuanran thought that Concubine Shu didn't know about the Liufang Banquet, but she didn't expect Concubine Shu to mention this matter to the emperor one step ahead of her.

"Queen Mother, how dare the concubine use these words to deceive you? The prince's wedding should have been hosted by the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian, but in order to show the identity of the prince, the queen mother was specially asked to host it, with the assistance of the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian. But on the wedding night, the dormitory of the East Palace was bombed, and you have not found the murderer so far, do you think the emperor still dares to hand over the Liufang banquet to you to host? ”

"Lady!" Luo Xuanran slapped the table, "I always thought you were a knowledgeable person, but I didn't expect you to dare to say nonsense in front of this palace today?" ”

"The concubine just wants to tell the queen that you shouldn't put any thoughts on the concubine."

"You've got what it takes."

Concubine Shu stood up: "If it is for the Liufang banquet, the concubine already knows, if there is nothing else, the concubine will retire first." ”

Luo Xuanran looked at Concubine Shu and couldn't speak for a long time, until Concubine Shu left Weiyang Palace, Luo Xuanran reacted: "Have you seen it, this Concubine Shu is not a good person, and now that she has gained power, she can't wait to seize the power of the palace, what is she so rampant?" ”

Mo Hua hurriedly persuaded: "Niangniang, don't be angry, lest you be angry with your body." The eldest prince fought and married the young lady of the Qi family, which was the best marriage among several princes. What is Concubine Shu's smugness now, only the one who has the last laugh is the winner. Look at the five princes, he was assassinated this time, and the emperor did not say anything about it, so it can be seen that the emperor is nothing more than the five princes. In the harem, isn't it just to see whose son is more powerful? ”

The persuasion of the ink painting made Luo Xuanran feel better: "You are right, Concubine Shu seems to be in power now, but without the help of the previous dynasty, she is still in vain in the end." ”

"Now you are just trapped by the bombing of the East Palace, after the eldest prince gets married, who will remember this incident?" Mohua asked.

Luo Xuanran calmed down: "What you said is right, the emperor chose to get married next month, as long as the palace is stable, after the wedding, this harem is still the world of the palace!" ”

Subsequently, Luo Xuanran thought for a while: "But this Liufang banquet can't let Concubine Shu be in the limelight, Concubine Xian is already a headache, if there is another Concubine Shu, the back seat of the palace will become more and more unstable." ”

Mo Hua's eyes rolled: "Queen Mother, the Liufang banquet is not big, it is not small, and it is the first time for Concubine Shu to organize a banquet, will it not be wrong?" ”

Luo Xuanran immediately understood the meaning of the ink painting: "This matter still has to be considered in the long run. ”

"Niangniang, the Liufang banquet is just around the corner, if you hesitate any longer, it will really be too late."

Luo Xuanran thought for a moment, if Concubine Shu had a meritorious role in organizing the Liufang banquet, she would definitely win the favor of the emperor, and it would be difficult for her to win back another game at that time.

Concubine Shu was very evil this time, she originally thought that Concubine Shu would make trouble again and again for Wen Zhiyan's matter, but she didn't expect Concubine Shu to let go of this matter, and the emperor did not punish her, which was out of Luo Xuanran's surprise.

It is estimated that Concubine Shu is so powerful now, and it is also because the emperor feels guilty about Wen Zhiyan, so he will compensate Concubine Shu in the matter of the harem.

But at the moment, she must not let Concubine Shu continue to develop, she can't let Concubine Shu become the second virtuous concubine.

After Concubine Shu left the Yang Palace, she did not return to Yixiang Palace, but went to Qianchun Palace.

Yuan Dai was playing chess with Wen Xize, Wen Xize heard Li Sheng inform Concubine Shu that he wanted to see him, he thought about it, but he still didn't want to see Concubine Shu. In fact, in Wen Xize's heart, he was still worried that Concubine Shu would bring up Wen Zhiqian again.

Before Wen Xize spoke, Yuan Dai said, "Sister Concubine Shu is here, won't the emperor see you?" The concubine remembered that the emperor hadn't seen Sister Shufei for a long time. ”

Since the last incident in the imperial study, although Wen Xize handed over the affairs of the harem to Concubine Shu, he never saw her again.

"Since you've spoken, let Concubine Shu in." Wen Xize said.

Li Sheng asked Concubine Shu to come in, and after Concubine Shu came in, she respectfully saluted Wen Xize: "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”

Wen Xize looked at Concubine Shu: "I haven't seen you for many days, your face is good, and there is nothing wrong with your handling of the harem affairs." What's going on today? ”

"Last time, the concubine sent someone to tell the emperor about the Liufang banquet, and today the queen also specially told the concubine about it."

"Didn't I say it last time, it's good for you to hold the Liufang banquet, could it be that the queen said something again?" Wen Xize thought that Concubine Shu was here to sue.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the queen's point is reasonable, the concubine has never managed the palace banquet, and if something goes wrong, the gain outweighs the loss. So the concubine thought that it would be better to let the queen host it, and the concubine would assist from the side. ”

"The banquet in this palace is much the same, and you usually help organize the banquet, so it's not a big deal. Besides, the Liufang banquet is not an important banquet, you haven't done it, and the queen hasn't done it, you can do it as you like. ”

The Liufang banquet is just a banquet for a group of noble ladies, in Wen Xize's eyes, it is like a tea party, just do it casually.

Yuan Dai spoke: "Actually, Sister Shufei's worries are not unreasonable. ”

"So what do you say?" Wen Xize asked.

Kite Dai thought for a while: "The queen still has a heavy responsibility on her body, but I am afraid that she will be flawless, so it is better for the emperor to find another person to organize the Liufang banquet with Sister Shufei." ”

Wen Xize looked at Iris Dai, and seemed to think that Iris Dai was a good candidate, Iris Dai saw what Wen Xize meant, and refused with a smile: "The emperor doesn't think about the concubine going to hold that feast, if the concubine really goes, I'm afraid that there will be no time to accompany the emperor to play chess." ”

Concubine Shu spoke: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has been in the harem for a long time, why don't you let Concubine Xian and her concubines handle this matter together?" ”

Wen Xize pondered for a moment, and there was indeed no better way now: "Since this is the case, then the Liufang banquet will be handed over to you and Concubine Xian." ”

"Yes, then the concubine will not disturb the emperor and the nobles." Concubine Shu retired, Wen Xize saw that Concubine Shu did not mention Wen Zhiyan's matter, but took the initiative to mention Wen Zhiqi's matter: "Concubine Xian, I heard that you haven't been to see Zhiqi until now." ”

"Yunxi has already gone to see Zhiqi for the concubine, and when she learned that Zhiqi is fine, the concubine will feel at ease."

Wen Xize nodded: "You can handle the affairs of the Six Palaces with peace of mind, and I will not treat you lightly." ”

"Concubines, thank you for the emperor's grace." Concubine Shu's heart would not have made waves again because of Wen Xize's words, in the final analysis, she was already disappointed in Wen Xize.

After Concubine Shu left, Yuan Dai asked, "The emperor doesn't seem to be willing to let Sister Xian and Sister Concubine Shu organize this banquet together?" ”

"You really dare to tell the truth."

"Since the emperor doesn't want the concubine to ask, then the concubine won't ask."

Wen Xize smiled: "What kind of person do you think Concubine Xian is?" ”
