Now Ying Chang's husband Shi Ji is white, according to the rules, Ying Chang is not qualified to participate in this banquet, Ying Shu is puzzled, Mrs. Cui on the side explained: "I heard that Mrs. Wu Qingbo is not feeling well today, so she can't come." I invited your second sister to replace it. ”

Ying Shu couldn't help frowning: "The second sister has just come out of confinement, can this come out?" ”

Mrs. Cui sighed lightly, "Your second sister is a powerful one, and no one in this Pingjing City knows it." ”

Ying Shu didn't know what to say, in fact, since Ying Chang got married, because of Aunt Wang, Ying Chang had a lot less contact with the Wang family, and she couldn't see each other a few times a year, so naturally she couldn't say anything. It's just that Ying Chang's life in her mother-in-law's house is not going well, but she can vaguely know something, and now she is in such a situation, she can't say who is to blame, she can only sigh deeply, and that's it.

Ying Shu looked at Lijun: "Why is your sister-in-law?" ”

Lijun has never liked Ying Chang very much, but she naturally doesn't show too much in front of Ying Shu, but she is really puzzled: "I don't know, my mother originally said it." But when I got up this morning, my mother told me to come first, and I came, but who knew that my mother called my sister-in-law. ”

Concubine Pu's impression of Ying Chang was still a little unfamiliar, and a palace maid on the side explained to Concubine Pu in her ear: "This lady is from the Wang family and is the concubine sister of the envoy Wang. ”

Concubine Pu nodded lightly: "It turned out to be the grandmother of the Shi family, hurry up, the lady has worked hard all the way here." Hurry up and sit down. ”

Ying Chang thanked Concubine Pu before getting up safely, and slowly walked to her seat with a dignified and demure demeanor under the gaze of everyone, with a standard of etiquette and no difference.

It's just that the wives and wives present don't think so. After all, this is a gathering of people with status, even if Ying Chang marries into the Bofu, she is not a person with a title after all, if Xiang Ying Shu and Li Yun are generally celebrities in the palace, it is fine, and Ying Chang is nothing, Mrs. Wu Qingbo has always been quite famous among these noble ladies, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not harmonious, and naturally the bad reputation falls on the daughter-in-law.

Ying Shu wanted to ask Ying Chang for a question, but Ying Chang just turned around and wiped her as if she didn't know Ying Shu at all, without saying a word to Ying Shu.

Seeing this, Lijun couldn't help but roll her eyes: "It's still like this, don't be angry." She's always like that, I'm used to it. ”

Ying Shu also expressed her habit: "Yes, even if she is married, my sister is still very noble." ”

Mrs. Cui on the side only said: "Don't care, you are a concubine, she is a concubine, it is normal to not understand the rules." ”

It stands to reason that no matter how Ying Chang can be regarded as the Wang family, even if she is a concubine, she has to reluctantly say a few good words in front of Ying Shu. It's just that the dynasty is rigorous in the end, and Mrs. Cui is a cheerful person, so she naturally knows that Ying Chang is inevitably a little out of tune in dealing with people, so she is not restrained in front of Ying Shu.

"Uh-huh." Yingshu could only respond to Mrs. Cui with a smile.

Everyone chatted for a while, and waited for a while before the ladies who went to the banquet one after another were all together, and the Duchess of Kang Guo, who was sitting in front, said with a smile: "Niangniang, since it is all the people, let's hurry up and enjoy the snow. ”

The first time Concubine Park presided over such a big banquet, she could see Concubine Park's nervousness and discomfort from the look on her face, obviously she didn't know what to do next, so she promised Duchess Kang Guo on the one hand, and turned her head to look at a female official behind her, the female official came up a few words, whispered to Concubine Park, Concubine Park was a little unnatural and smiled: "Please wait a while, Your Majesty said, you will come to see the morning court in a while, and then give us some more gifts." Ladies, talk as much as you can at this moment. ”

The ladies and ladies in the palace all responded, they were all members of the family, and they naturally knew the rules, so they got together and chatted softly. Although Yingshu and Lijun's status is not high among the princes and uncles, the good reputation of the female officials in the inner court is enough for the two to communicate and get along with many noblewomen easily, but people constantly come to chat with the two.

On the contrary, Ying Chang, who was sitting diagonally opposite, most of the time just sat alone in the corner, holding a shelf, as if she was a sculpture and sitting there with the most standard lady manners, and she didn't speak much, no, no one would pay more attention to her.

In the end, it was her own sister, Ying Shu couldn't bear it when she saw it, so she thought about stepping forward to say hello, but who knew that Ying Chang just snorted coldly, turned her head to the other side, and didn't speak.

Ying Shu consciously sneered, and no longer spoke to Ying Chang, but returned to her seat and spoke to the ladies and ladies again.

I don't know how long I said, but everyone didn't look forward to the emperor, but Wang Zhen next to the emperor.

I saw that Wang Zhen was followed by a nursing mother, and she was still holding Li Yuan, the son of Concubine Pu, in her arms. Because of Wang Zhen's noble status, and the child was crowned at a young age, the ladies had to get up and salute, "See His Royal Highness King Xing, please say hello to His Royal Highness King Xing, Mr. Wang." ”

Wang Zhen stepped forward with a smile and saluted Concubine Park, and then signaled the nurse to hand the child to Concubine Park, and with a respectful smile, reported to Concubine Park: "Qiyu Concubine Niangniang, Your Majesty said that this will be busy with government affairs, but I can't come to accompany Niangniang." It's just that there is one more thing, and I have to ask the mother for permission. ”

Concubine Pu smiled, she had always respected the emperor, but now that the emperor sent Wang Zhen to spread the word like this, she was a lot happier in her heart, and hurriedly replied: "Look at what Your Majesty said." What is allowed or not, and what His Majesty commands, just say. ”

Wang Zhen nodded to Concubine Pu, and then bowed to the ladies and ladies in the hall: "Ladies and wives, there are customs in the palace, if you can get your noble ladies and ladies to tie a gold and silver utensils to the children in the early snow, you can pray for a long life." I wonder if you ladies and ladies are willing to appreciate the face of His Royal Highness? ”

Now who in the government and the opposition doesn't know that the emperor loves the youngest son of King Xing the most, since the emperor has ordered Wang Zhen to say this, how can the ladies and wives not give this favor, so they all agreed: "I am willing to serve His Royal Highness King Xing." ”

Concubine Pu was stunned for a moment, her expression told Ying Shu that she didn't know that there would be such a step in advance, but she was stunned for a moment, and after the palace maid next to her explained to Wang Zhen, she nodded, and smiled at the ladies: "Thank you ladies and ladies." ”

"I am willing to serve His Royal Highness King Xing."

Seeing this, Wang Zhen signaled the people behind him to step forward one by one to take over the belongings of the ladies and ladies, and ordered people to tie them to King Xing's clothes with a smile, and said to Concubine Pu: "Concubine De Niangniang forgives her sins, and the minister has to go to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother first to take a look, so as to return His Royal Highness to Niangniang." ”

Concubine Pu looked at the babbling child who had just learned to speak, and although she was a little reluctant, she nodded in agreement. When Wang Zhen led the child out of the hall, Concubine Pu smiled and said, "Ladies, let's move to the courtyard of the apse, the shed stove has been built, and we can have a banquet." ”

Everyone got up early in the morning and dressed up, and they were afraid of entering the palace and losing their manners, so most of them hurried to the palace without eating a few bites of breakfast.

It is obvious that Concubine Park is presiding over such a big banquet for the first time, and her demeanor is naturally not as natural as the queen's atmosphere, even if she adjusts the atmosphere during the banquet, it is not very good, but there is no big mistake at the banquet, and the ladies will just see it. In addition, there are several lively leaders of the Duchess Kang Guo to lead the atmosphere, although this snow banquet is not very brilliant, but it is not wrong, for this foreigner to preside over the banquet for the first time Everyone is waiting to see the joke, it is already the best result.

Everyone ate a little food and talked and laughed again, but suddenly they heard a commotion at the gate of the palace, and everyone listened carefully, and there was actually the sound of blades colliding.

Everyone looked at Concubine Park in a panic, but Concubine Park also looked at everyone in a panic and unexpectedly, and at this time, a small promise hurriedly ran to the apse to report: "Niangniang, Mr. Cao beside Your Majesty has brought the palace guards to surround our Longevity Palace." ”

This Mr. Cao refers to Cao Xu, the apprentice next to Wang Zhen. Similarly, this is also one of the emperor's inner supervisors who is extremely close and trusted. The inner eunuch beside the emperor brought the Praetorian Guards in the palace to surround the palace of the concubine who was feasting, naturally it would not be as simple as someone wanting to meet Concubine Park.

Concubine Pu was surprised and panicked, and said at a loss: "What's going on?" Why are you surrounding my Longevity Palace? ”

Concubine Park is a very gentle person, but now she is angry, and her tone is not very tough, but more with panic, teaching people to doubt how such a timid person can have the bearing of a queen, how is it that everyone is rumored that the emperor wants to change the crown prince because of Concubine Park's mother and son.

It's just that why someone surrounded the Longevity Palace, obviously this matter was not expected by everyone present, and a few of the timid ladies heard the sound of the soldiers and the officers and soldiers talking, and even their faces were so frightened that they almost fainted.

"Go to the main hall and let Cao Xu go back and forth to the main palace." After a period of panic, Concubine Pu still has a little momentum now, so she asked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please move to the inner sanctum." Concubine Pu looked at everyone with a hint of guilt on her face: "This palace really doesn't know what's going on." Please take a look at the main shrine. ”

At this point, everyone was afraid and could only follow Concubine Pu to the front hall. I saw that Cao Xu, who was dressed in an inner prison python suit in the front hall, had already been waiting on the side with a few guards with knives in his hands, and Concubine Pu trembled when she saw it, and asked tremblingly: "Mr. Cao, what do you mean by this?" How can you bring a knife to seal my Longevity Palace, what happened? ”

Cao Xu was still respectful to Concubine Park, but when his eyes touched the ladies and ladies who followed behind Concubine Park, he had no humble attitude, only saw his eyes horizontal, only waved his hand, and several guards followed behind him stepped forward to hold the Duchess Kang Guo in front, and before the Duchess Kang Guo and the rest could react, they saw a flash of white light.

Duchess Kang Guo fell to the ground, and blood splattered in the first few ladies.

At the same time, Ying Chang blocked in front of Ying Shu at the first time, only protecting Ying Shu tightly, and she sprayed blood all over her face.

Ying Shu trembled, and instinctively thought of two words in her mind: palace change.
