In fact, the days in the palace may have nothing other than intrigue and jealousy, it seems that it is indeed boring, so the concubines always have thousands of reasons to hold various activities, but Jiao Ruzhi has not liked such activities very much, looking at those women will remind her of the concubines in her house, looking at it is disgusting, but she is the concubine of Prince Ze, even if such an activity can be avoided, but it is impossible not to participate at all, but enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet, It was also her first ......

"Prince Ze, Princess Gui'an." A noble mansion with a falling horse bun and a big red horse-faced skirt saw Jiao Ruzhi and immediately greeted him.

Jiao Ruzhi was slightly stunned, and then recognized the person in front of her, this is Qiu Yunlian, that is, Qiu Le's eldest sister who she saw when she went out, but although this Qiu Yunlian is only the eldest daughter of Wupin Shaoqing, her life is very good, let her marry a marquis's concubine, but she didn't expect that the marquis's concubine died unexpectedly, the concubine became the prince, and later became a marquis, this Qiu Yunlian became a marquise, and she was suddenly worth a hundred times, otherwise Qiu Yunlian would not have had the opportunity to participate in such a palace banquet. Naturally, she didn't need to see this Qiu Yunlian, who looked very similar to Qiu Le.

"No need to be polite." Jiao Ruzhi said lightly, "Today is the plum banquet in the palace, not the banquet of Prince Ze's mansion, the marquise saluted the concubine as soon as she came, if the concubines in the palace saw it, they might be unhappy." You and Concubine Ben are both guests today, so you don't need to be polite. ”

Qiu Yunlian's face changed slightly, but she held back her temperament and did not have a seizure, she knew that her good sister Qiu Le's only threatening enemy in Prince Ze's mansion was this Prince Ze and Concubine, so she tried to befriend her, hoping to help her sister, but she didn't expect this Jiao Ruzhi to be a person who didn't know how to lift up, and he responded to her like this, but she lowered her eyes and hid the hatred in her eyes: "In the eyes of Prince Ze, my Daqing has always been polite, So I think His Royal Highness Prince Ze also likes to pay attention to etiquette, and I thought that Prince Ze and Princess Ze would be the same. But since Prince Ze pays more attention to the rules of the palace, then I am abrupt...... I took my leave. ”

Seeing Qiu Yunlian walking away in front of him, Jiao Ruzhi snorted coldly and continued to walk forward.

"Miss, it seems that something is wrong with you like this, then the Marquise Bowei and Concubine Rong have a very good relationship." Lu'er spoke softly, "Miss and the concubines in the palace are not familiar with each other, if there is no relationship between Concubine Rong and Concubine Rong, I am afraid that it will not be possible to come to the harem at will in the future." ”

"It's okay, if I can't see the third sister today, then I won't have anything to do in the future." Jiao Ruzhi was in a bad mood, if it weren't for Jiao Yuzhen, she wouldn't have to deal with these people.

Lu'er was a little difficult to understand why Jiao Ruzhi always hated Jiao Yuzhen so much back then, but he liked her so much overnight, and even wronged himself for Jiao Yuzhen.

The plum banquet was held in the plum grove of the imperial garden, when Jiao Ruzhi came here a lot, it had been all arranged in an orderly manner by the palace people, and some noblewomen and concubines chatted, it seemed that the picture was extremely harmonious, but if they didn't basically know these women, Jiao Ruzhi would think that he had come to the concubine selection ceremony, and there were obviously no men to participate today, but the women were dressed up one by one, as if they wanted to compete with the red plums in the garden.

Jiao Ruzhi sat down in his place, and before he could sit down, he heard the palace maid speak aloud: "Rong Guifei Niangniang has arrived." ”

Concubine Rong is the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, and as soon as she arrives, she naturally wants everyone to get up and pay respects.

Although Jiao Ruzhi was unhappy in his heart, he still saluted with everyone very respectfully: "See Rong Guifei Niangniang, Niangniang is a thousand years old." ”

Rong Yulan had a proud smile on her face, but after her eyes fell on the vacant seat next to her position, she frowned slightly: "What?" Hasn't Concubine Jiao come yet? It's actually later than the main palace, and it's really big enough! ”

"Oh, don't say that, sister concubine." Jiao Youhan was dressed in a red palace dress, and two palace maids walked over, but before the person arrived, the charming voice sounded first, "My sister is just because she practiced dancing for the emperor's birthday banquet day and night and delayed the time to come to the plum banquet, the emperor has always taken pity on his sister's frailty, so he has never been late for his sister to attend the banquet, and my sister thinks that the concubine sister is broad-minded, and she will not blame her sister." ”

Jiao Youhan's tone and tone are the most feminine, but the language of such words is extremely arrogant, this record of Rong Yulan's dismount in front of everyone is really powerful, which really makes Rong Yulan extremely angry, but Jiao Youhan's words are not wrong, Jimo and Ao's love for her is simply the first in the harem at present, so Rong Yulan just pursed her lips, and then sat down on her main seat: "Since everyone is here, let's start the plum banquet, today's plum banquet is organized by Concubine Xi, Then the palace will appreciate Concubine Xi's careful preparation. ”

was named by Rong Yulan, Concubine Xi Wen Ning easily took a lotus step, stood up from her position, and blessed Rong Yulan respectfully, but raised her eyes and saw Jiao Youhan walking in front of her, this gift was actually accepted by Jiao Youhan, but Zhi Wenning was not angry, she has always been gentle, so she smiled faintly, and only spoke to Rong Yulan after Jiao Youhan walked away and sat down: "My sister thinks that today is actually a plum banquet, so I arranged an afternoon tea with the theme of plums, You can enjoy the red plum blossoms in full bloom while eating delicious plum snacks, plum wine or red plum tea, which is very comfortable. In addition, the musicians of the orchestra bureau have composed a number of new tunes with the theme of red plums, and they will present songs for everyone in a while. ”

Rong Yulan nodded with satisfaction, Concubine Xi Zhi Wenning is the most pleasing woman she looks at in the harem, dignified, polite, and modest and deferential, so she is also very good to Zhi Wenning, if there is no Jiao Youhan This woman, when she is unwell, she will deliberately arrange Zhi Wenning to sleep, after all, it is rare to be a well-behaved and obedient chess piece that will not compete with herself, and can be used for herself.

"Sister Guifei." Jiao Youhan glanced around, and looked at Jiao Ruzhi, who was sitting under him, with a bit of sarcasm, before looking at Rong Yulan, "Sister, I heard that my sister also invited Princess Isisi, who came to us as a guest, to participate in the plum banquet, why don't you see anyone?" Could it be that this is because the princess doesn't take her sister in her eyes? Why don't you send someone to invite your sister? Jiao Youhan didn't let Rong Yulan speak, so he spoke to the big palace maid behind him, that is, his own maid Shui Se, "Shui Se, if you go to the Yingxian Palace, just say that the palace invites Princess Xian Yu Ranxin to participate in the plum banquet." ”

"Princess Xian Yuranxin is not familiar with the customs of our Daqing, does not understand our language, and it is normal for her to be unable to attend for a while, if Sister Concubine De still sends someone to invite, it seems that it will embarrass this foreign princess." Zhi Wenning opened his mouth gently, saving Rong Yulan from embarrassment.

Jiao Youhan narrowed her eyes slightly, she was looking forward to meeting this princess of the Isy Country, after all, the meaning of this princess coming to Qingguo was obvious, she came for the peace of the Isy Country, so if she didn't use the excuse to meet this princess in advance, and knew the depth of the opponent earlier, how could she grasp everything? After all...... Recently, Jimo and Proud of her have not treated her as well as before......

The indifferent appearance of Jimo and Ao towards her last night came to mind, and her heart couldn't help but fight, the emperor is the emperor after all, always so moody, the sacred heart is unpredictable!

"In that case, you don't need to wait for that princess Xian Yu Ranxin, let's start the banquet......"

Before Rong Yulan's words were finished, a palace maid walked over in small steps, walked to her side and whispered: "Princess Xian Yuranxin has arrived, it's just ...... She was dressed in white......"

"White?" Rong Yulan frowned slightly, but soon regained her composure, she saw that Qiu Yunlian and Jiao Youhan who were sitting down were both wearing red, these two people did not have a seizure when they collided, if she didn't let her in because a foreign princess was wearing an ominous white dress, it would definitely be inappropriate, "Please let her in, let her sit next to Concubine Jiao De." This palace wants to see who is unbearable with the red Concubine Jiao De and the simple and elegant exotic princess. ”

"Yes." The little palace maid nodded and hurriedly went out to invite someone.

Zhi Wenning knows how to observe words and feelings, so he didn't rush to pass the banquet, but talked casually with a concubine beside him, and many people who sat down felt that there was something inappropriate at this plum banquet, and whispered.

After the little palace maid went out, she led a woman in a pure white exotic costume in, the woman was wearing a traditional Isidor costume, a close-fitting narrow-sleeved blouse with a wide and short-sleeved gown, the gown was pressed with a half-moon-shaped gold ornament that could block most of the chest, and the ornament was carved with exquisite Fengxiang Jiutian carving, and her waist was wrapped around a belt with aqua blue dark lines, showing her slender waist like a willow, and the lower body was full of characteristic hundred-fold skirts, and there was a white gown on the skirt with a front and back placket. The gown is embroidered with white patterns like the small gown on the upper body, although it is quite elegant, but it looks extremely exquisite, this is low-key luxury, she has a pair of half-high white riding boots on her feet, this dress is full of exotic style, but with a bit of Qingguo people like exquisite and meticulous, more importantly, the woman is just holding a casual cloud bun on her head, the cloud bun is decorated with pearls around the white fluff headdress, dotted between the black hair, it looks like a cloud around the mountain, soft and lovely.

"This is the uncherished princess of the Isidor Kingdom." After the little palace maid led the woman in front of Rong Yulan, she bowed, and bowed down after leaving these words.

Rong Yulan looked at the princess in front of her in surprise, her phoenix eyes widened, and she was so frightened that she was almost speechless, the woman in front of her was not beautiful, but her impressive face and memory only changed a little, she became more beautiful. Compared with the mysterious woman who suddenly appeared in the harem a year ago, but suddenly disappeared a few days later, the princess in front of her was obviously even more moving, she ...... It seems to have grown up.

Jiao Yuzhen was never surprised that Rong Yulan would recognize herself, because more than a year ago, she had unceremoniously dealt with the high-ranking concubine in front of her, and that day she also made a Lan nobleman disliked by Jimo and Ao, but today, a year later, only Rong Guifei and Concubine Xi were in this plum banquet, and the unabashed Lan nobleman was no longer there.

Jiao Yuzhen put her right hand on her chest and walked forward with a greeting gift of many countries, bowed to Concubine Rong, and then sat next to Jiao Youhan according to the guidance of the palace maid, she calmly glanced at Jiao Youhan, who was sitting on her right and trembling slightly, then looked at the other people at the banquet, and then saw Jiao Ruzhi at a glance.

Jiao Yuzhen never thought that he would see Jiao Ruzhi here, but if he thinks about it carefully, the concubine Rong Guifei who enjoyed the plum banquet this time even invited all the noblewomen in the capital, so it is normal for Jiao Ruzhi to come, but it is just ...... There was a faint sadness between her eyebrows, maybe even Mo Zize didn't treat her well!
