This question was true and straightforward, and Concubine Qing didn't react for a while, and was stunned in place.

Her mind was originally turning slowly, and when Qi Ying had already looked away and didn't want to continue talking about it, she realized what she had just said.

Concubine Qing felt a little embarrassed, but in front of so many people, her strong heart and face-saving heart did not allow her to sit back cowardly without saying a word, the smile on the corner of Concubine Qing's mouth was a little far-fetched, but she still picked up the wine glass in her hand happily and raised it to Qi Ying: "The concubine respects the emperor with a glass." ”

Guo Zhenzhen taught her that people must learn to hide clumsy.

What's more, she has just annoyed Qi Ying, remember not to say too many things that she is not good at.

If you say too much, you will lose, so try to keep it as simple as possible.

Fortunately, Concubine Qing didn't forget, I don't know how to admit her mistake to Qi Ying in front of so many people, but for the New Year, it's right to toast yourself, right?

Unfortunately, she was still wrong.

Patronizing to save the face that he had just been said by Qi Ying, he was bent on talking to Qi Ying, but he forgot that the seat was still empty at this time, and Guo Zhenzhen had already guessed what she was going to do when she saw Concubine Qing's movements.

It's just that he deliberately moved a step slower, and he didn't want to hold her.

At this time, the words had already been spoken, and Guo Zhenzhen pretended to pull Concubine Qing's sleeve.

Concubine Qing glanced at Guo Zhenzhen and realized that she must have done something wrong again, and her face was a little unsightly.

At this time, she was the only one standing, and there was silence all around, and everyone's eyes fell on Concubine Qing in unison, stabbing people like silver needles projected.

Qi Ying raised her eyes to look at Concubine Qing again, and saw two points of pity in her eyes, and knew that she was just trying her best to please herself, and the blame on her lips turned into a sigh, Qi Ying finally softened her tone and said softly: "The Queen Mother hasn't arrived yet, the Queen Mother will arrive later, let's pay respects together." ”

This is not serious, it can be regarded as giving Concubine Qing a step down, but Concubine Qing still seems to be about to cry, the smile she squeezed out looks trembling, she puts down the wine glass with a lonely face, and re-enters the table and sits down.

The atmosphere froze suddenly, and Qi Ying was not willing to spend this kind of verbal effort to break the deadlock, so she was so angry.

Fortunately, there are always people who are willing to stand up, and not long after Concubine Qing sat down, Guo Zhenzhen spoke: "Let the people in the back be prepared, I think the Queen Mother is also coming, and when the Queen Mother is seated, her eyes will be lively." ”

She gave the order, and the person next to her responded and went down.

Even with some hot tea, a few pots of wine specially prepared for Qi Ying that had just been warmed began to be sent in an orderly manner, as if she had done it all in the morning, and if you think about it carefully, it is indeed Guo Zhenzhen who is taking care of the New Year's Festival.

A few little things, the kung fu of moving her mouth, her hard work these days and the virtue of coordinating the overall situation were sent to Qi Ying with the warm wine jug.

"Concubine Xian has a heart." This is Qi Ying's favorite wine, but it is not the batch that Jiang Wan buried under the maple tree with him in the past, Guo Zhenzhen was careful, avoided Jiang Wan's shadow, and tried to establish her taste in Qi Ying's heart.

was lightly praised by Qi Ying, but Guo Zhenzhen didn't climb up the pole at all, and only responded lightly, and then quietly turned to Concubine Qing, who was sitting next to her, sullen.

The atmosphere in the banquet began to be lively again because of Guo Zhenzhen's natural arrangement, and the concubines who were familiar with each other and sat close to each other were talking close to each other, and even the Mei nobles who had just moved to the Anfang Palace looked a lot ruddy today.

She has such a subtle foundation, for so many years, Guo Zhenzhen's growth and methods seem to be beyond Jiang Wan's expectations.

jumped out of the phoenix position high above, but now he can see everything more clearly.

The hands that often blind their eyes come from the people closest to them.

Jiang Wan couldn't hear what Guo Zhenzhen was talking to Concubine Qing, but she had always been the best at calming people's hearts, and in a few words, Concubine Qing's face had improved a lot.

Concubine Ru knocked melon seeds next to her, she seemed to like melon seeds very much, no matter what the occasion, there was always a plate at hand for melon seeds to knock, Jiang Wan couldn't understand what kind of fun this was for a while, so she stared at Concubine Ru twice.

Feeling Jiang Wan's gaze, Concubine Ru turned her head sideways and smiled: "Concubine Jing tastes something?" ”

After speaking, he was not polite, and directly grabbed a handful of Jin Zhu's hand, and raised her chin to let her send it to Jiang Wan's hand.

Jin Zhu frowned, this is too polite, what if people don't want to eat this thing?

However, Jin Zhu didn't say anything, but he didn't hand it directly to Jiang Wan, it was Jing Yue who came forward to pick it up.

"The fried melon seeds in the imperial dining room are very fragrant." Concubine Ru's eyes narrowed, and she smiled very sincerely, "When I was in Jiuxian in the past, the melon seeds fried at home also tasted like this. ”

After speaking, as if inviting merit, he leaned over and covered his mouth and said to Jiang Wan: "I still taught the imperial chef this method, I really eat a lot of seafood pockets, and I can't even fry a melon seed." She muttered and complained, reminding Jiang Wan that Jiang Tingye also loved to mumble like this when she was at home before, he had a lot of ghost ideas, half of them were going to be slapped to death by his father in his mind, and the remaining half were full of trouble in the city when he gave birth to buds.

Wild ideas popped out of his mouth one by one, also with a show-off and childish tone, like some kind of incredible baby.

Concubine Ru is also childish, fried melon seeds, and she has to eat the taste of the family before she stops, and she was also ground by her when she wanted to come to the imperial kitchen.

Jiang Wan was reminded of her two memories, took a few peeled and ate them, and responded to her with a smile: "It tastes good." ”

Concubine Ru raised her eyebrows: "Watching the play, you have to knock melon seeds to watch the play." ”

This is said in a very chic way, but when you taste it carefully, it is lonely.

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and spread out her palm, glanced at the melon seeds lying quietly in the palm of her hand, and couldn't remember if she had heard this before, even if she had heard it, it was very ordinary and ordinary in a small talk, and she had long forgotten it.

And this little action between Concubine Ru and Jiang Wan all fell into Qi Ying's eyes.

He remembered that Concubine Ru and Jiang Wan also had a bit of friendship in the past, but they were all friendships at the card table, and the silver and gold utensils that were exported were probably still in Concubine Ru's.

Now that the two are talking again, it can be seen that the skin has changed, and similar souls will always attract each other.

Qi Ying was just relieved in her heart that Jiang Wan had someone who could speak, and the Queen Mother led Chu Miao to come far away just as Guo Zhenzhen expected.

Qi Ying led all the concubines to get up and salute together, the Queen Mother tightened Chu Miao's hand, and walked steadily to the seat, and when the Queen Mother sat down, Chu Miao saluted Qi Ying and the concubines one by one.

"Concubine Chun is next to the mourning family." The queen mother's preference was not disguised, and she directly set up a small table not far from her for Chu Miao to sit on, and steadily pressed the concubines.

What's infuriating is that Chu Miao is also dressed in red today.

She sat close, and Qi Ying had to talk to the Queen Mother from time to time to greet her, so naturally she could see Chu Miao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a delicate face, next to the Queen Mother, where could she still see herself below? !

In addition, the Queen Mother always wants Concubine Chun to say a few words to Qi Ying, and Concubine Chun's shy appearance falls in Concubine Qing's eyes, and she is a seduction.

This time, Concubine Qing held a grudge against Chu Miao again, this concubine Chun, who was in the limelight and was favored by the Queen Mother, was even more eye-catching than the princess Dongshu.

Concubine Xian is too smart.

She is the one who gives advice to Concubine Qing, usurping all the limelight for Concubine Qing, hiding behind her to manipulate Concubine Qing's path-finding chess piece, just infiltrating her influence in every detail, and running around on the road to power all the time, and in the eyes of Concubine Qing, a person with a bad brain, Guo Zhenzhen is the person who helps her, she is gentle and good-spoken, and she does everything properly.

And Chu Miao, who appeared later, was the one who wanted to compete with her.

The clothes touched the color, and it was also the instructions of the Queen Mother, but Concubine Qing was jealous and buckled on Chu Miao's body, and Chu Miao was really. There's nowhere to say wrong.

Before the superior could speak, Concubine Ru had already reached out to take the second orange from Jiang Wan, and she whispered while peeling it: "Why don't you have a temper?" ”

When this question was asked suddenly, Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows: "What?" ”

Concubine Ru pursed her lips, her gaze lingered on Jiang Wan's face for a moment, and finally shrugged her shoulders and sat up straight: "It's nothing." ”

Jiang Wan may not have noticed it herself, but she is still. I haven't fully adapted to where I am now.

So her words and deeds look a little strange.

Especially in the eyes of Concubine Ru, such strangeness is infinitely magnified.

Princess Dongshu came with a mission, and her favor is the benefit of Dongshu, so Concubine Ru was not surprised by the news that Concubine Jing was favored, and she tried her best to get on the throne, which should be what Princess Dongshu did.

But after several contacts, Concubine Ru found that Jiang Wan was a very indifferent person.

She has a higher level of compassion for the malice of her concubines.

Not anger and resentment, but more like a man with a butcher's knife in his hand, looking at a poultry that has pecked at itself out of anger.

Such compassion and the courage to suppress all deterrence, Concubine Ru has only seen it in one person.

That's the one in power who is absolutely unquestionable.

She is the only woman who dares to confront Qi Ying in the Golden Pond Palace.

And Concubine Jing has a similar indifference.

The spirit of the first queen who has been immersed in the battlefield for a long time is not something that any woman can easily imitate.

Even Guo Zhenzhen, who has been by Jiang Wan's side for many years, has wisely chosen to find another way to gain a firm foothold, and will never be easily contaminated with the habits of the first queen.

It's weird.

Concubine Ru raised her eyes to look at Guo Zhenzhen, she had already persuaded Concubine Qing to toast, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine Qing's eyes, and pointed at her with no joy or anger: "Concubine Qing is particularly gorgeous and beautiful today." ”

Concubine Qing looked at Qi Ying with some flattery, and when she saw that Qi Ying also looked over, she couldn't help but feel a little dizzy on her face.

Sure enough, it's a good coax, and I'm happy with a casual word.

Guo Zhenzhen drank alone with a wine glass, felt the sight of Concubine Ru, and also raised her eyes to look over.

She looked at Concubine Ru, then moved her gaze to Jiang Wan on the side, and glanced at Jing Yue who was standing beside Jiang Wan by the way.

Jingyue seems to be extraordinarily dedicated to Concubine Jing.

Even the hot and cold tea should be carefully monitored.

The corners of Guo Zhenzhen's mouth inadvertently curled, and returned to its original state when the cup left her lips.

The silhouette play set up the stage and sang by the pavilion gate, the queen mother finally had a smile in her eyes, took Chu Miao's hand and patted it: "You love to watch this." ”

She had already planned Chu Miao's entry into the palace and arranged it deliberately.

Chu Miaojiao thanked her for her grace drippingly, and quietly glanced at Qi Ying's small movements on the side of her face, but she still couldn't escape the eyes of the Queen Mother.

Qi Ying is handsome and young, knowing that she wants to follow such a man for the rest of her life, and there is no little girl throbbing in her heart, it is impossible.

The New Year is festive, and the round house is the best at this time.

She has been a concubine for many days.

The Queen Mother's calculations, everyone present knows that from Chu Miao's stunning dress to the Queen Mother's intentional or unintentional matchmaking after she sat down.

Concubine Chun will stay in the Golden Pond Hall tonight, which is almost a fact finalized by the Queen Mother.

Of course, Qi Ying also knew the Queen Mother's intentions, he looked at the silhouette play in front of him absentmindedly, he didn't look carefully at what he played, and he knew that it must be the 'good day and good scene' selected by the Queen Mother.

Qi Ying's gaze drifted to Jiang Wan's side, not daring to look too blatant, I don't know if she was afraid that her excessive attention would cause her trouble, or if she was afraid that she would see that she had no emotional face.

Although she was already prepared in her heart, when she failed to catch Jiang Wan's gaze that also paid attention to her, Qi Ying's heart still hurt.

Those times he spent with her really can't go back.

He wanted to get it back.

wants to get her heart back that loves him.

The heart is sour, and when you pour wine into your mouth, you lose its original taste.

Qi Ying poured cup by cup, and the throat and even the nasal cavity were full of the mellow aroma of winemaking, and. Slightly dizzy drunkenness.

It is said that people are most likely to get drunk when they are sad, and a pot of wine is in their stomachs, Qi Ying really feels that she is a little drunk.

The Queen Mother sensed that he was wrong, and opened her mouth quietly: "The winter wine warms up, and the emperor should not drink too quickly." ”

It's like a slap in the head.

Qi Yingmu turned her face to look at the Queen Mother, and then suddenly sobered up, thinking that if she was drunk. Didn't Jiang Wan leave her alone to deal with the concubines and the queen mother?

He lowered his eyes, answered the question, and lowered his glass.

When he turned his face to look at the palace people who came in in an orderly manner, Qi Ying's afterglow seemed to sweep away, and Jiang Wan was looking at him.

His eyes stiffened and rolled to that direction, and his heart was pounding.

When she was sure that Jiang Wan was really looking at him, Qi Ying pursed her lips violently.

Nervous like a nightmare boy who has just fallen in love.

There seemed reproach in her eyes.

A little dazed, after a few seconds, he looked away.

On the day Chu Miao entered the palace, Jing Yue asked Jiang Wan very worriedly.

The Queen Mother is looking forward to Chu Miao's pregnancy and childbirth, and forcing Qi Ying to pamper Chu Miao is almost irreversible, just look at when the Queen Mother chooses a good day.

If that time comes, will the mother be sad?

"I never thought about it before."

This day really came, and I was a little stunned.

Does my heart still hurt?
