Chapter 20: The Red Plum Banquet (1)

If you say too much, you will lose, Qiu Yue is not a stupid person, she can't be fooled easily. Shen Yun was really anxious to end this topic, so she took off her hand and indifferently laid out the quilt: "What are you thinking?" The medicine was prescribed by Imperial Physician Wang, is it possible that you still suspect Imperial Physician Wang? ”

Doctor Wang has been in the hospital for more than ten years, which is recognized as a high level of morality, who would doubt him? Qiu Yue shook her head, and then put this matter behind her, no longer thinking about it.

For a whole month, Su Zhaoyi shrank in the Chiyao Palace, and almost no one was seen except for asking Concubine Shu to say goodbye. Even the various difficulties of inviting Concubine An Shishu, Su Zhaoyi put on a submissive attitude.

This made Concubine Shu a little annoyed, she was holding her back and wanted to rectify her, but it was like a punch on the cotton, and she couldn't make half a sound at all. If she doesn't accept the offer, even if she has a thousand strengths, she can't use it, and she can't find a reason to punish Su Zhaoyi.

Even the emperor didn't mention investigating the Su family's affairs these days.

Concubine Shu flipped through the history of Tong, and secretly wondered in her heart. To say that the Su family is in adversity, why is this Su Zhaoyi not in a hurry at all?

Looking at the records of Tong History, the emperor only went to Chiyao Palace once in a whole month.

Concubine Shu hooked her hand at Yunxi and said, "You go and get some silver, ask Donglai's father-in-law to inquire, and see what the emperor said to Su Zhaoyi in Chiyao Palace on the twenty-third day?" ”

Yun Xibian flattened his mouth: "Don't bother the master, the slave has already inquired." That day, Su Zhaoyi talked with the emperor about the piano skills, and they talked very happily, and the emperor also specially asked someone to go to the treasury to find a good guqin and give it to her. ”

Concubine Shu opened her mouth in amazement, what? The Su family had such a big trouble, the emperor not only did not snub Su Zhaoyi, but also rewarded her? Concubine Shu slowly closed Tong Shi and sat for a long time.

Yun Xi whispered: "Niangniang, isn't the emperor ready to deal with the Su family?" ”

Concubine Shu didn't answer, this matter was a little strange, and she couldn't figure it out for a while. It is said that this impeachment of the Su family has been handed over many times, so big that it is to worship the ancestors of the rebels, have the heart of restoration, take bribes through the small way, and form gangs. But the snowflake-like folds were handed over, but the emperor didn't say a word, which made Concubine Shu really can't figure it out.

Recently, she obviously felt that the emperor was a little estranged from her, in the past, she blew the pillow wind to the emperor, and the emperor was always obedient, but now, even if she cried to the emperor with tears, in exchange for a few slightly perfunctory words of comfort.

Concubine Shu stroked her cheek, could it be that she is old, her face has faded, and she can't tie the emperor's heart anymore?

As he was talking, he saw Donglai swaying his chubby body and walking into the inner mansion.

"I can't find Niangniang left and right, I heard the palace maid of Baohua Palace say that Niangniang came to the inner house, and the slaves rushed over." Dong said that he owed and saluted Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu snorted, pulled a silk handkerchief with her hand, and covered the history of Tong on the table.

"When the palace inspected the account books of the harem, I felt that there were a few discrepancies, so I came to check it. Is there anything going on with Donglai's father-in-law looking for this palace? ”

Donglai's gaze swept over the table, what was under the veil, he already knew in his heart, there was no need to break it, just smiled.

"The emperor just passed by the imperial garden, and saw that the red plums outside the Yinyun Building were budding, so he wanted to feast the mother and make a red plum banquet when the plum blossoms bloomed next month."

Red Plum Banquet? That's a lot of fun.

The emperor rewarded Su Zhaoyi with a guqin, but instead gave himself a banquet, which was not a loss of face. The tilted scale rod in Shufei's heart is slightly balanced.

Raising his sleeves slightly to hide the upturned corners of his mouth, he said, "Who else besides this palace?" ”

"This ......" Donglai paused and replied speciously: "The emperor also rewarded the prime minister with a banquet in the imperial dining room. ”

Is it only the Xiao family? In this way, the Xiao family's position in the emperor's heart is quite stable.

Concubine Shu nodded: "Okay, you go back to the emperor, and the palace will go to thank you in a while." ”

As soon as Donglai left, Yunxi laughed out loud: "The slave and maid just said, the emperor is still towards the mother, and it will not let Su Zhaoyi have the upper hand." Niangniang always said that the emperor has snubbed you recently, and it turns out that the emperor has quietly prepared a big gift for you! ”

Concubine Shu was also proud in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, but smiled indifferently: "Such a little reward is happy to be like this, and there will be more glorious things than this in the future, and I can't hold my breath." ”

As soon as the flowering period arrives, the plum blossom can not hold its breath, the stars bloom little by little, and a light snow fell the day before, the plum blossom branches are covered with crystal frost, and the sun shines brightly is beautiful.

Yinyun Tower is a small building built for the sake of enjoying the scenery, and you can just see the red plum blossoms when you sit on the upper floor. In the summer, this place is rarely frequented, but in winter, Yinyunlou has become the favorite of the concubines.

For this banquet, Concubine Shu put on her heavy makeup early, and Yunxi urged her several times before she slowly sat in the sedan chair. Distinguished guests are always late, and over the years, Concubine Shu has always been like this.

There are many palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside Yinyun Tower, and there are even familiar faces from various palaces inside, and Concubine Shu and Yunxi glanced at each other, and they were all a little surprised. took Yun Xi's hand to the second floor, only to find that the emperor was not the only one on the second floor, Concubine Jiang Xian, Zhou Zhaorong, Xu Chongyi, Cheng Jieyu, and even Tian Meiren were among them.

Nan Jingpei sat in the middle, saw Concubine Shu come in, put down the stove in his hand, and said: "I originally wanted to invite Concubine Shu, but after thinking about it, it was not interesting for the two of them to drink, so I asked all the palaces to borrow Concubine Shu'er and have fun together." ”

Only then did Concubine Shu bow to the emperor, and surrounded her, as if Su Zhaoyi was missing. It's okay, although these people are cumbersome, but they are not useless, if there is no vulgar powder, how can she be beautiful? It's good not to have the person who upsets her.

Concubine Shu sat down with a smile and said with a smile: "The concubine originally had this meaning, thinking that she could invite all the sisters to have fun together." It's just that I don't know what the emperor has in mind, so I didn't dare to mention it. Who knew that the concubine actually thought of going with the emperor. ”

When all the concubines heard this, they all smelled of gratitude, and they all got up and thanked the emperor and concubine.

Cheng Jieyu said with a smile: "Niangniang is so considerate of the sacred heart, and considerate of the sisters, she is really virtuous, no wonder the emperor loves the concubine Niangniang the most,"

Such a new toution, Concubine Shu has long been used to hearing it, she just smiled, and she was not modest.

Suddenly turning her head, she found that there was an empty table diagonally opposite, and Concubine Shu sighed in her heart.

Don't...... Could it be that you still invited her?

Concubine Shu looked up at Yunxi, and Yunxi also frowned. Concubine Shu looked at Donglai, Donglai half-closed her eyes, straightened her waist, and seemed to have no intention of opening a banquet, as if she was deliberately waiting for someone to arrive.
