The Queen Mother has always been worried about this, even if she is the daughter of the prime minister, she is just a concubine who is not favored, and she can't be compared with the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion at all.

"It's the son's fault. Although Su Yang said that he was wrong, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

The Queen Mother glanced at her, her eyes full of displeasure.

"Look at you like this, where do you really realize you're wrong. The Queen Mother took a sip of tea lightly, and asked slowly, "How are you doing with the Hundred Flowers Banquet, I see that the day is coming." "

"It's almost over, the posts have been sent, everything has been taken care of, only some trivial things remain, and they will be completed in two days. "

Su Yang replied.

"Are you sure that everything has been done properly? This Hundred Flowers Banquet is a big matter, and there is something missing, and it will be our royal face that will be lost when the time comes. "

The Queen Mother's expression was full of distrust, after all, a wild girl who had just returned from the countryside, where had she ever held such a big banquet, I guess I haven't even seen it!

Su Yang naturally understood what the Queen Mother was thinking.

Since she married Murong Jue at the age of fifteen, she has seen how many large and small banquets held in the palace she has presided over, so she naturally knows it by heart.

"Queen Mother, please rest assured, the sons will definitely live up to expectations. "

"That's it, you said you had it done, and then you could see it with your own eyes. The Queen Mother said.

If Su Yang makes a fool of herself at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, it will not be a good thing, at least, she can use this as an excuse to say that Su Yang cannot take on the important task of managing the harem, and persuade the emperor to take back his life.

"I'm tired, you go back. The Queen Mother said.

"The retainers obeyed. ”

Su Yang didn't want to entertain the Queen Mother, so she knelt down and left.

Soon, the day of the cherry blossom feast arrived.

This is the first time that the new emperor has held a banquet since he ascended the throne, and invited the female dependents of the courtiers' families, although the emperor has already decreed that he will never accept a concubine, but the Huaichun girl in Beijing still fantasizes about being able to enter the palace by the emperor's grace, so the ladies in Beijing have made a big move for this flower-viewing banquet, and for a time the imperial garden is like a fairyland on earth, and a hundred flowers compete for beauty.

"Ah, Sister Ye's clothes are so beautiful, the leader of today's flowers is none other than my sister!"

"Yes, everyone else says that Imperial Concubine Ye is delicate and refined, if you want me to say, Sister Qinxin is better. ”

Several famous ladies surrounded Ye Qinxin to play in the garden, listening to their sweet words, Ye Qinxin seemed to be in the clouds, and her mind fluttered, but she still pretended to be embarrassed on her face, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, now that my sister is the imperial concubine, where can we compare with her." ”

"Even if she becomes the imperial concubine, she will never be able to climb the position of the queen, if the emperor really likes her, how can she be condescended to the position of the imperial concubine, in my opinion, this queen's position is still reserved for my sister, as for why not call now, maybe just to do it for others to see. ”

Several girls chattered and said some flattering words, Ye Qinxin got carried away for a while, where can she still take care of the partition wall and ears, but they don't know that these words were listened to by the palace maids, and they all reported to Su Yang who was standing next to the Taiye Pool to feed the fish.

"Niangniang, the young lady of the Ye family is so unruly that she said such a thing!"

Ruo'er heard the report from the palace maids, and couldn't contain the anger in her heart, and she couldn't wait to rush over and tear their mouths.

"They're just paying lip service. ”

Su Yang knew that those famous and noble girls in Beijing were all dignified and virtuous on the surface, but in fact, they were all high and low, but they were all powerful in their families, and others did not dare to point it out.

"Let's go meet those girls. ”

As he spoke, Su Yang sprinkled the fish food in his hand into the lake, asked someone to take a handkerchief to wipe his jade hand, and then led Ruo'er and other palace maids and eunuchs to walk towards Ye Qinxin.

"This garden is so lively today, and I heard the pleasant news of several girls in the distance. ”

"Say hello to the imperial concubine. ”

Several beauties saw that it was Su Yang, and hurriedly saluted in a panic.

Su Yang looked at a few people with a smile, and it was not difficult to see from the memory of the original owner that they had always been friendly with Ye Qinxin, and the original owner was often sneered at by them on weekdays, and since they bumped into it today, it was just to avenge the original owner.

"Hurry up. ”

"Xie Niangniang. ”

Su Yang's fierce eyes swept over Ye Qinxin's face, he secretly sneered in his heart, raised his hand to stroke his sideburns, and said casually: "The fathers of several girls are all ministers of the emperor's humerus, and this palace has always heard of several dignified and virtuous ladies, but when I saw it today, I felt a little unworthy of the name." ”

Only then did several noble ladies realize that those arrogant words just now had already been listened to by Su Yang, and their intestines were so green with regret that they couldn't wait to slap their mouths.

"Now that the girls have entered the palace, they should take care of their mouths, you must know that the palace is not your backyard, and you must not talk nonsense at the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”

The powerful aura exuded by Su Yang made several noble girls shudder, but what puzzled them was that Ye Wanying was still a cowardly concubine before entering the palace, how could she become so noble and cold when she entered the palace.

"Sister, we're just talking about the girl's own thoughts, why are you so angry. ”

Several famous nobles knew that their identities were very different from Su Yang's, and obediently listened to Su Yang's reprimand, but Ye Qinxin was always restless, she thought very highly of herself, thinking that the identity of this concubine was snatched from her, so she didn't know anything wrong, but smiled and defended several noble girls.

"Sister, I think you forgot the rules, now it's in the palace, not in the prime minister's mansion, you should call me the imperial concubine. ”

Su Yang didn't give Ye Qinxin a good look, and looked at her with a cold face.

"Imperial concubine, ladies and gentlemen, the banquet will start soon, and the emperor urges you to hurry back. ”

Just when Ye Qinxin was riding a tiger and didn't know how to deal with it, the eunuch next to Murong Jue suddenly came to summon him, and when Su Yang heard this, he thought that gaining Murong Jue's trust as soon as possible was the most important thing, so he followed the eunuch back.

Looking at Su Yang's back as he gradually moved away, Ye Qinxin secretly clenched her fists.

Because it was autumn and the weather was getting cooler, Su Yang specially held the banquet outside the Fengmian Zhai in the Imperial Garden.

Fengmian Zhai was originally a place for the concubines of the previous emperors to watch the drama and enjoy the flowers, but later an emperor reopened the Pear Flower Garden to listen to the music, and this place was gradually deserted, Su Yang thought that the scenery here was very good, so he ordered someone to clean up and arrange, and used this place as a place for banquets.

Su Yang led the palace maids and eunuchs in and sat down, and then several high-ranking ladies also followed, and when everyone found a place to sit down, the banquet officially began.

"Your Majesty, the dim sum during the banquet is made by a famous chef outside the palace, this chef is superb, you must try it. ”

Su Yang said, and asked the palace maid to bring a plate of pastries on her table to Murong Jie, Murong Jue saw that she was so attentive, she didn't want to eat it, but for the sake of everyone present, it was not good not to give her face, so she could only pick up a piece and put it in her mouth and take a bite, and in an instant, the sweetness of osmanthus spread in his mouth.

"Well, it's a good pastry. ”

"It's good if the emperor likes it. ”

"I like everything that my concubine found. ”

Murong Jue said, and ordered someone to move Su Yang's seat to his side, telling her to be closer to him.

Seeing that the two were so intimate, Ye Qinxin, who was sitting on the side, couldn't wait to bite a mouthful of silver teeth, and tore the handkerchief fiercely in her hand.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers specially learned a song for today's flower feast, I wonder if the emperor can enjoy his face?"
