Chapter 441: Contest
"Auntie, auntie."
Xia Chutao was originally in a trance, but was called back by Ji Guiren's call.
At the beginning of the summer, Tao looked at Ji Guiren in front of him steadily, only to find that there was still a pearl standing next to Ji Guiren in front of him.
"Huh?"
At the beginning of summer, the peach was just shaking her head, but she didn't know when the pearl was coming.
Ji Guiren looked at Xia Chutao, and could only apologize.
"Pearl has come to go to the Imperial Garden, it's time to go."
"Ah...... Got it, hurry up, don't delay. β
Xia Chutao reacted, and then Ji Guiren said.
Looking at Xia Chutao's flat face, Ji Guiren still said to Xia Chutao with some hesitation.
"If only my aunt could go with me......"
Xia Chutao was stunned, and actually felt that Ji Guiren, who spoke like this, was a little cute, so he could only smile and smile.
"Ji Guiren hurry up, I'm still being grounded by His Majesty, and I don't know when I will be able to untie it." If nothing else, if I can lift this grounding one day, I will definitely go and see it for myself. β
Ji Guiren also knew that there was indeed no way to see the situation in front of him, so he could only nod at Xia Chutao and said.
"Okay, then Auntie, I'll go with Pearl first."
Although Xia Chutao on the surface didn't care at all, the bitter Xia Chutao in his heart knew that he couldn't deceive himself.
Looking at Ji Guiren's figure slowly leaving with the pearl, Xia Chutao couldn't help but start thinking about when she could leave this place.
β¦β¦
In the imperial garden, the banquet was set up in the Tingxue Pavilion by the lake, and Zhao Yufeng had not yet come, but the palace concubines had arrived one after another.
With the support of Pearl, Ji Guiren hurriedly came to Tingxue Pavilion.
It was Li Meiren who first discovered Ji Guiren's belated arrival, looking at Ji Guiren's increasingly bulging lower abdomen, Li Meiren couldn't help but roll her eyes, and she was very disdainful and said in a weird way with her throat.
"Yo, how long has this been pregnant, but I dare to ignore the palace rules, Ji Guiren is such a big pomp now, why did he come so late?"
Ji Guiren knows that Li Meiren's mouth has always been like this, and if she catches it, she will not let go of the master, she is so late, she is so yin and yang and weird to talk Ji Guiren is really not good to say anything.
She could only salute the palace concubines.
"My sister was rude, I encountered some small things when I went out, so it's too late, and I hope you sisters will forgive me."
"Oh, what's going on? If it's a pregnancy thing, why did Concubine Min come in time? are also pregnant, do they have to be as big as your shelf? β
Ji Guiren looked at Li Meiren with an ugly face, Li Meiren also has a tricky mouth on weekdays, and likes to sarcastically mock others from time to time, but it is also a sentence or two, and it is rare to be as indomitable as today.
Ji Guiren really didn't understand where he offended Li Meiren today.
An Changzai, who was standing beside Li Meiren, also felt that this atmosphere was really unfriendly, and couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch the silk silk to cover his mouth and nose and cough lightly, signaling Li Meiren that it was almost fine, why should such an occasion give people such a big ugly look.
But Li Meiren didn't seem to hear that, and continued to sneer.
"Look at whether you are a man or a woman in your belly, you don't know if you are arrogant and have become like this, if you really give birth to a prince in the future, then the territory of the harem must be you walking sideways?"
Ji Guiren's face is even more ugly, I don't know why Li Meiren is holding on to herself tightly today, I knew that I came earlier, but now I have been grabbed by someone, so many people are watching, Ji Guiren will inevitably feel embarrassed.
"Hey, Li Meiren is driving for Concubine Min to take charge of the harem?"
At this time, Gardenia next to Concubine Min spoke, and there was a thorn in her words, obviously because she was very dissatisfied with what the other party Cai Li Meiren said.
Li Meiren looked at Concubine Min and found that Concubine Min had no expression on her face, but she didn't say anything, and she still looked gentle and obedient.
also knew that she said this for Concubine Min, and was squeezed by Gardenia like this, Li Meiren simply shut up and stopped talking.
At this time, I heard Concubine Min smile and say to Ji Gui.
"If you come to Ji Guiren, hurry up and take a seat, Your Majesty is about to arrive later, I'm afraid it's not good to see such a scene."
As he spoke, he looked around at the surrounding palace concubines again.
"It's the same with all the sisters, today is the day to enjoy the flowers with Your Majesty, there is really no need to pursue the details of this writing, lest everyone be unhappy, since it is here, then everyone wants to have fun."
Hearing Concubine Min say this, although Ji Guiren didn't know why Concubine Min didn't get angry with herself and helped herself out, she still bowed to Concubine Min.
"What Concubine Min said is that today is indeed the negligence of the concubine, and it shouldn't be so late."
But at this time, Concubine Min was very gentle, and if she looked at her face alone, she couldn't tell what was wrong.
At this time, I heard Concubine Min say with a smile.
"Ji Guiren is also serious, and now in such a situation, it is also the dragon heir who is important, and the rest can be put aside. This palace has no heart to blame, so Ji Guiren is going to sit down quickly. β
When Ji Guiren heard this, he straightened up and entered the Tingxue Pavilion accompanied by Pearl.
Li Meiren's position was originally next door to Concubine Min, but Li Meiren unceremoniously raised her wine glass directly and changed places with Ji Guiren and came to An Changzai's side.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
An Changzai, who had been honestly staying in his seat, was very puzzled by Li Meiren's approach, and couldn't help but raise his head and ask.
But when I heard Li Meiren, I was very disdainful.
"Naturally, I don't want to be with Concubine Min."
"I really don't know what this concubine wants to do, it's just a small flower viewing party, and she has to wear it so grandly, for fear that others won't know that she is favored now."
Li Meiren pursed her lips and said to An Changzai so quietly. Concubine Min lifted her eyes as she spoke, and it could be said that she was disdainful of Concubine Min.
An Changzai's face changed when he heard this, there are enough people Li Meiren has confronted today, and it is really a death to say such things at this time.
She immediately picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Li Meiren's mouth, looking at Li Meiren who was staring, An Chang is here to say.
"Sister, let's talk less, on an occasion like today, it's not good if you say the wrong thing and cause unnecessary disasters."
When Li Meiren heard this, she slowly swallowed the pastry, but she didn't say anything.
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the eunuch beside Zhao Yufeng shouting in such a sharp voice.
Hearing this, the palace concubines who were originally talking and laughing in their respective seats all immediately came out of their seats, and invariably knelt in front of Tingxue Pavilion headed by Concubine Min and Ji Guiren.
"I've seen Your Majesty!"
Zhao Yufeng came down from the imperial chariot, and first helped Concubine Min and Ji Guiren up.
"What are the two concubines doing? As I said before, both of you are pregnant, so these etiquettes are waived. β
Concubine Min smiled sheepishly.
"These etiquettes are all used to in the palace, but Your Majesty said that if you don't want it, you don't want it, but the concubines can't do it."
"The concubine is also the same as Sister Min, although she always keeps His Majesty's instructions in mind, but whenever she encounters such a thing, she always can't control it."
Zhao Yufeng just laughed.
"Knowing etiquette is naturally a good thing, but now, it's still the body that matters."
Hearing this, Ji Guiren and Concubine Min saluted together.
"Yes, concubines, remember."
At this time, Zhao Yufeng's eyes were on Concubine Min.
"Concubine Min's dress today is gorgeous, I remember this purple and gold hairpin, I still gave it to you."
Concubine Min smiled happily when she heard this.
"Yes, the concubine thinks that this purple and gold hairpin is just right to wear today, and this is the hairpin."
Zhao Yufeng nodded, but he couldn't see any emotion from the superfluous.
"Very good."
Then he set his eyes on the pure Ji Guiren, and Zhao Yufeng's face showed a smile of surprise.
"It's Ji Guiren, who is wearing such a plain dress today, it looks very fresh and refined."
When Ji Guiren heard this, he was overjoyed, and he had to admire Xia Chutao's foresight, so he followed Xia Chutao's words to Zhao Yufeng.
"Your Majesty said that today's concubines are enjoying the flowers, and the concubines think that this garden is full of fragrances and colors, since it is a flower appreciation, it doesn't matter what the person is wearing."
When Zhao Yufeng heard this, he raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Ji Guiren to have such an answer.
"It's hard for you to have such a delicate mind, excellent."
Zhao Yufeng naturally appreciated Ji Guiren's thoughts, but when Concubine Min on the side heard this, her face changed, and she looked somewhat ugly.
But it was only for a moment, and soon Concubine Min put it away and said to Zhao Yufeng with a smile.
"Your Majesty said that you will go to enjoy the green plum today, and the concubines have been waiting for a while, waiting for Your Majesty to lead the concubines."
"yes."
"yes."
Concubine Min said with a smile like this, but all the palace concubines echoed it, but it caused Zhao Yufeng to laugh, and couldn't help but point at Concubine Min.
"You're urging me to do it."
Min Concubine is here.
"The concubine didn't dare, she was just in a hurry to see the rare green plum."
"Okay, naturally I want to go and see it, this is to lead all the concubines to take a look at this green plum."
Saying that, Zhao Yufeng led the palace concubines out of Tingxue Pavilion, and at this time, Li Meiren always felt that something was wrong at first, but now she saw it, and asked An Chang beside her.
"You can see Cao Meiren?"
