Concubine De and Concubine Qing sat at the very front, far away from Yao Chuxi, but Yao Chuxi noticed that Concubine De smiled at him when she first came in.

Princess Yun Yuan also had a place to eat, but she was young and needed to be fed, Yao Chuxi thought she might stay for a while and leave.

Before the meal was served, Lin Jieyu spoke first.

"I am very grateful to all the sisters for coming to Juning Palace to participate in the birthday banquet, saying that it is a birthday banquet, in fact, you are here to support it, this has been in the palace for a few years, and it will be a year old after a year, I really don't want to live, but take this opportunity, I always have to get together with the sisters, right?"

The people below should be in harmony, and Yao Chuxi also agreed.

"Please forgive me if there is any inappropriate hospitality, Concubine De, you and my sister have known each other early, and please help my sister say hello."

Yao Chuxi understood this, and in the final analysis, he used the birthday banquet to win over Concubine De.

Concubine Qing sat there and was only afraid of her eyes reddening now, and she had to keep a smile on her face.

Not to mention being a concubine, she has one more prince than Concubine De, if you really want to find someone to manage the affairs of the six palaces, you will naturally find her, how can the emperor find Concubine De?

At this moment, she stared at Concubine De with her spare eyes, staring at her glance and smiling, staring at what she was doing.

Since entering the palace, for so many years, although she is also in the position of concubine, she has been pressed by Concubine De.

Although she gave birth to the emperor's only prince, Concubine De said that she was also a person who had two children, and it was normal for the emperor to feel sorry for her in the end.

Concubine Qing was a little upset in her heart, and her fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.

Several palace maids wore new palace maid costumes and served the dishes to the table.

Princess Yun Yuan also divided some dishes, but her teeth had not yet grown, so she could only eat soft and glutinous foods such as taro roast and meatballs.

Lin Jieyu's arrangement this time was very deliberate, basically the good dishes were in front of Concubine De, and even Concubine Qing, who was sitting next to Concubine De, didn't catch anything.

Yao Chuxi didn't want to think about this kind of thing, so he simply focused on the food in front of him.

On his table, there is a fat and even braised pork, next to the braised pork is a mixed soup, and then next to it is a dish of Sixi pigeon eggs, which are not hard dishes.

The dishes in front of Xiao Meiren are unsightly, only one stir-fried shrimp is considered a meat dish, and the rest are basically vegetarian, with a few pieces of meat scattered in it.

Yao Chuxi took two pieces of braised pork with clean chopsticks and put them on the plate in front of Xiao Meiren, and scooped a bowl of assorted soup into her bowl.

Xiao Meiren smiled at her gratefully, muttering in her heart that it was good to come with her.

This Lin Jieyu clearly wanted to humiliate her. The post has been sent to Sanssouci Pavilion, if you don't come, I'm afraid that she will be provoked, and when the time comes, she can't stand it if she says something unreasonable and pretentious.

Yao Chuxi only ate two bites of food, then put down his chopsticks and sat there to listen to the play.

I heard that the troupe of this singing opera is outside the palace, and the emperor knows that Lin Jieyu likes to listen to operas, so he specially sent the troupe, and in the final analysis, he still spoils her.

I just heard this, and it is hard to guarantee that it was not the people of Juning Palace who said that they spread it, and when it was passed on, everyone else thought that it was the emperor who took the initiative to spread it.

Yao Chuxi doesn't like to listen to dramas, and thinks that they can't sing clearly in babbling, maybe they are really a rough person and can't appreciate it.

It's just that there is really nothing to do here, the dishes are cold, the charcoal in the house is heavy, and she has no appetite at all, and even if there is, she doesn't dare to eat anything here.

Xiao Meiren didn't eat anything, just sat there and watched the play, and talked to Yao Chuxi from time to time.

"Xiao Meiren really knows a lot." Xie Meiren said in front.

Xiao Meiren smiled faintly, didn't argue anything, and pretended not to hear her cynicism, "It's just a little bit." ”

Xie Meiren turned her head, first glanced at Yao Chuxi, and then fell on Xiao Meiren, "I remember that one year when you sang this scene on your birthday, right?" You're also a drama lover! ”

"Hmm." Xiao Meiren nodded quietly and didn't say anything more.

Xie Meiren paused, and continued, "At that time, Xiao Meiren, you were still Xiao Zhaorong, but now..." she pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, "I'm sorry, look at what I'm talking about." ”

"It's okay." Xiao Meiren said.

The play continued to sing, and the faces of the singers were smeared with paint, and they could only see a pair of black-eyed people, and Yao Chuxi felt scared for no reason.

Xie Meiren turned back, and He Jieyu was sitting next to her, and Jiang Zhaoyi was over there.

In front of her were Xu Jieyu and Gao Shunyi, and there was still a place for Lin Jieyu, but she never sat down, shuttling between various positions from time to time, and talking kind words to everyone.

He Jieyu obviously didn't pay attention to the play, and often glanced at Yao Chuxi, who was sitting behind.

Xiao Meiren didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only watch the play quietly, not knowing what she was thinking about.

"Two sisters." Lin Jieyu came and stopped next to Yao Chuxi.

Yao Chuxi hurriedly stood up, and then Xiao Meiren also stood up with her.

"Sister Lin." Yao Chuxi bowed slightly.

"How's the dish? To your liking? Lin Jieyu asked.

Her voice was still like that, as if she didn't dare to exert too much force.

"The food is very palatable, Sister Xie is hospitality." Xiao Meiren said.

Lin Jieyu's eyes drifted to Xiao Meiren, stayed on her for a while, and said slowly, "Sister Xiao is still so beautiful, no different from the beginning." ”

"How long has it been? It's really annoying that my sister is worried. Xiao Meiren said.

He Jieyu also turned around when she heard this, "Xiao Meiren is still so sharp-toothed, it reminds me of when we were together before." ”

Yao Chuxi paid attention to Xiao Meiren, she stood there honestly, sitting there didn't mean that she didn't say anything, she was afraid that what she did at the moment was wrong.

"Why don't you speak?" He Jieyu stood up and took another step closer to Xiao Meiren.

Xiao Meiren said with a smile: "The two sisters are so concerned about their concubines, they are really sisters. ”

She was still avoiding anything, avoiding anything that was bad for her.

If you say the wrong word, it will become *, just say a few words to insult her, I'm afraid it will affect Yao Meiren.

She gasped softly, exhaled softly, and did everything as naturally as possible.

"Look at me, the elder sister, the two younger sisters are here for the banquet, why are they all standing? Sit down, sit down. Lin Jieyu said and stretched out her arm to Yao Chuxi.

Luo Yu pinched the veil tightly behind him at the moment, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't control himself and wanted to rush over to protect his master.

"Today is my sister's birthday, how can the concubines do this messing up the dignity and humility? Sister, go eat something good. Xiao Meiren said loudly when she saw this scene, and pulled Yao Chuxi to sit down.

Lin Jieyu's face darkened for a moment, and she looked at He Jieyu without a trace.

He Jieyu glanced at her, and said a little dissatisfied, "Lin Jieyu is talking to Yao Meiren, Xiao Meiren is a little inappropriate to interject so forcefully, right?" ”

"My sister misunderstood." Yao Chuxi saw that He Jieyu pointed the finger at Xiao Meiren, and hurriedly relieved her, "Before I came, Sister Xiao also said that she wanted the concubine to remember the rules and politeness, saying that Sister Lin is a person who values rules, and she can't mess with etiquette in front of Sister Lin, Sister He, don't be angry, Sister Xiao is also afraid that Sister Lin will be angry." ”

He Jieyu smiled at her, and that smile was full of sarcasm and disbelief.

"What are you talking about? So lively? ”

Hearing the voice, everyone looked back and found that Concubine De had come over.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Sister Yao and Sister Xiao, and I'm talking to them, so you're here, sister." Lin Jieyu said, walking towards Concubine De, meaning not to let her get close to Yao Chuxi.

"I see." Concubine De glanced at Yao Chuxi meaningfully, "This play is a wonderful time, sister, don't be wrong." ”

Lin Jieyu smiled and returned to her seat with Concubine De.

Although He Jieyu was a little angry, she had to sit down.

Concubine De gently patted Yao Chuxi's shoulder before leaving, others may seem to be just small movements when talking, or comfort, but Yao Chuxi knew in her heart that Concubine De was helping herself.

The child couldn't understand the play, so Lin Jieyu didn't sit for a while and let Princess Yun Yu go back.

Her face is chubby and her mouth is very small, which is somewhat similar to Lin Jieyu. Yao Chuxi looked carefully, and the princess's eyebrows and eyes were also very similar to the emperor.

She thought of her child, and if the child was still there, what would it look like? Who can be like a little more? Single or double eyelids? Pointy or round?

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't stop feeling sad in her heart, Xiao Meiren noticed it and peeled two pine nuts for her.

"This pine nut skin is thick and tight, it's really hard to peel." She handed it to Yao Chuxi as she spoke.

"I can't eat this well, I didn't expect my sister to peel it." Yao Chuxi took the pine nut and tried not to think about the child.

He Jieyu still looked back from time to time, or was chattering beside Xie Meiren, her eyes often looking back.

Yao Chuxi didn't hide, so he let her see it generously.

With Concubine De here, Lin Jieyu and the others never succeeded, and Yao Chuxi and Xiao Meiren left Juning Palace like this.

Both of them were like mirrors in their hearts, knowing that they would sneer at Yao Chuxi, but neither of them pierced the layer of paper, giving them a chance.

As long as you avoid that point when you talk and do things, it's not a big deal, besides, Concubine De is still in Juning Palace, they don't dare to be too presumptuous.

After returning to the back garden, Xiao Meiren returned to Sanssouci Pavilion, and Yao Chuxi went back to Yingxue Pavilion along the way.

Fang hadn't eaten much in Juning Palace, and he was a little hungry right now.

As soon as I returned to Yingxue Pavilion, I saw the emperor's imperial rooss stopped in front of Yingxue Pavilion.

When Yao Chuxi entered the door, the emperor just came out of the palace.

"How long have you been here?" Yao Chuxi asked with a smile.

The emperor first took Yao Chuxi's hand and pulled her to the palace, "Not long after I arrived, I heard Han Shanggong say that you went to Juning Palace." ”

As soon as he entered the house, Yao Chuxi saw a fresh face.

It doesn't matter if it's a raw face, she's seen him once before.

"The slave asks Yao Meiren for peace."
