Chu Miao is a person who knows how to seize opportunities.

She has a gentle temperament like water, and she speaks in a very light tone, so she has to lean forward so that Qi Ying can hear clearly.

The Queen Mother was sandwiched between the two and smiled with satisfaction, and the two people beside her were like a pair of wall people in her eyes.

This is probably the scene of the emperor and queen in the heart of the queen mother.

The Qi family accounted for half of it, the Chu family accounted for half, the left hand was her son, and the right hand was her blood relative.

In this way, the Queen Mother's heart can be regarded as stable.

Jiang Wan turned her face more than once or twice to look at the situation at the top, and the atmosphere over there was deliberately separated by the Queen Mother, as if she was not in the same space as the below.

The full seat of concubines, only Concubine Qing was still squeezing her head upwards without giving up, and the words of toasting and blessing came round and round, unwilling to be dressed up carefully like this, and Chu Miao came from behind to steal the limelight, unwilling to let the Queen Mother be so partial, it was simply to escort Chu Miao to the phoenix throne.

In terms of qualifications, companionship, net worth, and value, everyone sitting here has more power than Chu Miao.

The Chu family has long since collapsed!

There is no direct line who can serve the imperial court! The only remaining towering tree is the Queen Mother! What's more, the inside of this tree is already empty, who is convinced?!

In short, Concubine Qing is absolutely unconvinced and unconvinced.

If you want to succeed to the middle palace, is it so easy?

The eyes of the front and harem are all staring at it!

The Queen Mother naturally understands the stakes here, so she wants Chu Miao to serve first, serve more often, and have more opportunities to appear in front of Qi Ying than others, with her gentle temperament, after a long time, Qi Ying will definitely give birth to a little pity, as long as Chu Miao gives birth to the prince, the Chu family will have a bargaining chip.

Chu Miao's heart is pleasing to Qi Ying, and it is the best.

If she doesn't like Qi Ying, she has to admit it.

This is the path that the Queen Mother chose for her, no matter what Chu Miaoming doesn't understand now, no matter whether she has thought about the death of the first queen, there is no way out when she enters the palace.

The Chu clan didn't have any way out.

Just rely on the two of them, and they have to hold up this sky!

Concubine Qing's eyes never left when they fell on Chu Miao, she was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she poured wine angrily and wanted to get up to pay tribute to Qi Ying again, as if she had to fight for breath, this time Guo Zhenzhen dragged her, she had already drunk a lot, her body and hands trembled, and with a slight pull, the wine glass was crooked.

The dress was stained with alcohol, and it became wet all at once, and the wet area looked darker in color, a bit like blood.

Concubine Qing frowned, holding back the fire in her heart, and opened fire regardless of the enemy: "What are you doing?!" ”

Although she didn't stand up rudely, her voice was still a little higher and was heard by Qi Ying.

Guo Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment by Concubine Qing's unexplained anger, and when she turned her eyes, she saw Qi Ying coming over, and quickly put away the coldness in her eyes, and took a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on Concubine Qing's dress.

Looking at the past from the perspective of Qi Ying and the Queen Mother, Guo Zhenzhen's expression was very slow, she was talking to Concubine Qing softly, and she didn't stop wiping her skirt with her hands.

On the contrary, Concubine Qing raised her eyebrows and shouted, "The clothes are all dirty!" I can't wipe it clean, what else do you wipe! ”

Before the word 'get out' was spoken, Sleeveless had already seen Qi Ying and the Queen Mother paying attention to this.

Concubine Fang Cai Qing kept squeezing in to talk and toast, and interrupted Chu Miao's words several times, the Queen Mother was already very unhappy, so she just looked at the movement over there indifferently at this time.

Sleeveless stretched out his hand to grab Concubine Qing, and whispered: "Niangniang, the emperor is looking at this... ”

Concubine Qing was stunned, and her brain immediately cleared up a lot, she just didn't set off because she was holding back the fire, and Guo Zhenzhen just happened to bump into her anger to take the opportunity to vent her anger, and now she was sober, or subconsciously relied on Guo Zhenzhen: "Xian. Virtuous Concubine. The emperor is looking at us. ”

At this time, I knew that my voice was too loud.

Guo Zhenzhen pretended to sigh helplessly, and patted the back of Concubine Qing's hand silently with the hand that wiped her skirt, and after successfully appeasing Concubine Qing, Guo Zhenzhen suddenly withdrew her hand and stood up: "Your Majesty, Concubine Qing is a little drunk." ”

"She should be drunk when she drinks like this." The Queen Mother took over and smiled quietly, "Look, the cup is unstable." ”

Guo Zhenzhen and the Queen Mother talked, and responded: "The sweet wine wets the skirt, and the concubine accompanies Concubine Qing to go back to change her clothes, and by the way, she can sober up." ”

If she stays here any longer, her mind is not clear, and she will really annoy the Queen Mother and cause trouble later, I am afraid that she will not be able to escape some punishment, Concubine Qing is still useful, and she can't make trouble for her at this juncture.

The Queen Mother couldn't wait for Concubine Qing to leave quickly, and she was the one who had the most eyesight.

As soon as Guo Zhenzhen's words fell, Mei Guiren coughed lightly twice, and stood up with Qiu Xin's support: "The concubine is weak. . . I also want to go back with Concubine Xian first. ”

Qi Ying noticed that Mei Guiren was also in the middle of the banquet, and immediately replied: "It's okay, let's go back together, your body. . . Take care of yourself. ”

The liveliness of the New Year's Festival seems to have been specially reserved for Chu Miao alone, and the people coming and going during the banquet do not affect anything.

Originally, this year was not very lively, and Qi Ying didn't even have the heart to look at the fireworks.

Although Concubine Qing was unwilling, Guo Zhenzhen obviously had something to say to her, and the coldness in the Queen Mother's eyes also made Concubine Qing swallow all the extra words into her stomach, and after saluting, before the Queen Mother became angry, she obediently followed Guo Zhenzhen away.

This year is not interesting, Concubine Ru, who is preparing to watch the play, did not see anything interesting, and she also seemed to be in high spirits and a little sleepy.

The wine and meat were down, and the body was almost warm, the Queen Mother glanced at the concubine who was still sitting below, and after pausing for two more seconds at Jiang Wan's place, she looked at Qi Ying: "The emperor also drank a lot today, and the mourning family is also a little drunk." ”

Qi Ying didn't answer, he knew what the Queen Mother was going to say, but the result would not change because of his answer, he simply didn't speak, just smiled.

"Later, let Concubine Chun and Yu Bing send the emperor to the mourning family." The Queen Mother was very satisfied with Qi Ying's reaction, and didn't care if his smile was bitter.

Qi Ying lowered her eyes and didn't respond, and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Wan, and found that she also happened to raise her eyes to look over, and after the eyes touched, she actually smiled at herself.

Obviously heard the Queen Mother's words, knowing that Concubine Chun would be forcibly stuffed into the Golden Pool Hall by the Queen Mother later, how could she still laugh? !

Qi Ying frowned, her forehead suddenly jumped twice, and she had to raise her hand to hold the jumping green tendons.

To say that you are not angry is false.

But Qi Ying didn't know what position and identity she had to be angry with her.

It's just silent, more like I'm angry with myself.

Qi Ying's silence was acquiescence to the Queen Mother, she said, 'The emperor is drunk, and the mourning family is tired', and forcibly put an end to the already incomplete New Year.

Concubine Ru sighed: "I can still have fireworks to watch before... ”

The New Year is silent.

However, she was not very depressed, she just sighed regretfully, and then looked at Jiang Wan with bright eyes: "Will you come to my palace tonight to observe the New Year?" I also made an appointment with Yu Concubine and Zhao Guiren, and one of the three is missing. ”

She was thinking about making a table of cards, and seeing that there was no good show, she hurriedly made another appointment with Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan smiled lightly: "I told the people in the palace to keep the New Year together, and the flower paper was ready, so I won't go." ”

Concubine Ru had some regrets, but it was not a pity that Jiang Wan couldn't come: "I can only push the cards again." ”

However, Concubine Ru did not have the habit of forcing people, Jiang Wan said that she would not go, but she would just do it.

The Queen Mother first told Aunt Luo and Concubine Chun to send Qi Ying back first, and when she passed by Jiang Wan's side, Qi Ying obviously paused in her footsteps, and after hearing Jiang Wan whisper the sentence 'Congratulations to the emperor', she clenched her fists and strode out.

In order to ensure that no one would go to make trouble for Chu Miao halfway, the Queen Mother sat for a long time before getting up to leave.

As soon as the queen mother left, the remaining concubines dared to return to the palace one after another.

Yu Concubine made an appointment with Ru Concubine to go to Yuqing Palace early in the morning, Zhao Gui and Ru Concubine are in the same palace, and the main palace Niangniang wants to push the card to keep the year, and she can only follow along.

On the way back to the palace in the second half of the year, only Jiang Wan's sedan chair was left.

She took a nap with her head propped up, and Jingyue raised her eyes to look at Jiang Wan worriedly from time to time.

At this time, in the apse of the Jinchi Palace, Qi Ying and Concubine Chun had already arrived.

It had been set up, apparently a little trick on him during his time at the banquet, and a slight alteration made the atmosphere even more ambiguous.

Qi Ying noticed it, her eyes swept towards Changzhong with a cold look, Changzhong's face turned white, she glanced sideways at Aunt Luo, who came with her, and tightened her fingers.

There was still a leak in the Golden Pool Palace, and although it was only a few trinkets, Qi Ying was still unbearable about it.

It's just that it's not good to have a seizure right now.

After Qi Ying and Chu Miao sat down awkwardly, Aunt Luo brought a pot of wine with a smile and put it on the table between the two: "This is the blessing wine rewarded by the Queen Mother." ”

This is the old custom of the Nine Immortals, and every year on the New Year's Day, you should drink a cup of Fuxi wine given by the elders.

Seeking happiness for Fuxi wine is asking for a good omen for the new year.

If it is said that it is Fuxi wine, there is no reason not to drink it.

Aunt Luo poured a glass for the two of them, saying festive words, with the big red dress worn by Chu Miao, it looked like a newlywed scene.

Qi Ying drank it expressionlessly, as if she had completed the task assigned by the Queen Mother.

He didn't have any dislike for Chu Miao, she was just a chess piece in the hands of the Queen Mother, and she didn't want to be hateful.

After Aunt Luo had done what she had to do, she withdrew with a smile, and she closed the door with her hand, and only the sound of candles remained in the room, faintly illuminating the figure at the door.

Qi Ying sat upright and didn't look at Chu Miao.

His heart was irritable, his mind was full of pictures of Jiang Wan smiling at him, and he became more and more panicked in his heart, not knowing if it was an illusion or a side, and his breathing became two points shorter.

It was a little torturous to sit like this, but after a while, Qi Ying still decided to make it clear to Chu Miao: "You... ”

Turning to one side, Qi Ying found that something was wrong.
