A banquet ended with a joke, unwilling to do so, looking at Concubine Ru's attitude today, everyone already knew it.

On the way back, Jin Zhao's mood seemed to be good.

Qingwen felt that today's banquet was really boring, so she simply said: "Fortunately, Concubine Jing didn't go, does Miss also think that today's banquet is a little boring?"

The corners of Jin Zhao's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "How can you see it?"

Such a wonderful play, this girl actually said that it was boring, Jin Zhao couldn't smile bitterly, so he asked.

Qingwen replied seriously: "The slave maid saw that the young lady didn't talk much today, thinking that today's banquet should be too boring."

After hearing this, Jin Zhao glanced at Qiaoci on the side and asked, "What do you think?" Is it the same idea as Qingwen? ”

Qiao Ci shook her head and replied, "Miss Hui, the slave maid has a different opinion."

Jin Zhao's eyes lit up, smiled, and said slowly to Qingwen: "Look, Qiao Ci has seen some doorways."

Qingwen touched her head, I don't know why, it was originally a boring banquet, and when the eldest lady and Qiaoci said this, it was as if there was another hidden mystery, and she didn't understand it a little.

Seeing that the maid Qingwen was still confused, Jin Zhao said slowly: "How can it be considered a boring banquet, just today's food is very good, not to mention the blessings, and it doesn't cost a copper plate to watch a wonderful play, so if it is counted, I have earned it."

The more Qingwen listened, the more confused she became, it was obvious that those official women wanted to compete to perform in front of Concubine Ru, but they were just some showy people. said what kind of noble lady she is, but in fact, what is the difference between these behaviors and the maids who compete for favor and food in the house.

Qingwen only saw the surface, but did not understand the truth.

Jin Zhao glanced at Qiao Ci: "I see that Qingwen is still confused at the moment, it is better to tell her what you saw today, so that she can understand a little."

Qiao Ci understood, and said: "Most of the women invited by Concubine Ru today are official women who have not left the cabinet, and the eldest lady has also talked a lot to the slaves and maids before, and look at the banquet where they should have come, on the surface, they are invited to eat vegetarian dishes and have a small gathering, but in fact, the slaves and maids don't look like it, but it is more like testing everyone's minds."

Hearing this, Jin Zhao couldn't help but glance at Qiaoci.

"Now that the third prince has become a relative, and the second prince has reached the age of marriage, Rufei, the mother concubine, naturally has to worry more than others, so today's banquet was held. Inviting the eldest lady and others is nothing more than worrying that it will be too obvious and criticized. ”

If the concubine is a person who has been up and down in the deep palace for many years, if she is not careful, how can she clean herself up, so that people can't grasp the handle.

After all, Yu Wenxian was born in October when she was pregnant, and since it was his business, it was naturally better to criticize less.

After listening to Qiaoci's words, Qingwen seemed to understand something, she said: "In this way, Concubine Ru wants to choose a favorite woman for the second prince among these official ladies, so that she can marry the imperial concubine in the future." Fang Cai Qiaoci said that it was for temptation, but among so many official ladies, which one did Concubine Ru like? ”

Jin Zhao smiled and asked her quietly, "What do you think?"

Qingwen didn't expect her girl to ask her, thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and finally replied uncertainly: "Could it be that she has taken a fancy to the Yan family?"

Jin Zhao looked at Qiao Ci and said to her: "This girl is not too stupid, but she can see it."

Qiao Ci nodded and answered.

Hearing this, Qingwen was a little surprised and said: "In this way, Concubine Ru Niangniang really took a fancy to the Yan family."

As he spoke, he was still a little unconvinced.

Jin Zhao raised the corners of his mouth and said to her: "She is the granddaughter of the old court, and now she is famous, and it is difficult not to attract attention." For example, the concubine rewarded her with something in front of everyone, but it was still a bracelet given by the second prince, which shows that the meaning could not be more obvious. ”

At this time, Qiao Ci seemed to think of something, hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "The slave and maid are still wondering, it stands to reason that the Yan family, a small family, admired the three princes before, and met her on the way to Wuxi Palace today, and I wanted to come to see Concubine Jing's mother, if she refused today, there would be no such thing as a concubine rewarding the bracelet, why did she agree to Miss Pan's proposal without thinking about it?" The slave didn't figure this out, she did this, it was tantamount to wanting Concubine Ru to understand her attitude of showing favor. ”

obviously has the three princes in his heart, but he goes to please Concubine Ru, and Qiaoci really can't understand it.

Jin Zhao could see it clearly, and he also knew the calculation in Yan Xue's heart, this was because he saw that there was no hope of marrying Yu Wenyu, and he didn't want to be pressed by her, so he changed his mind.

Jin Zhao said meaningfully: "This is nothing strange, women, always have to plan for the rest of their lives, since the third prince has no hope here, he can't hang himself on a tree, Yan Xue always has to get married, the second prince is also a dignified prince, and the mother concubine is a favored concubine in the harem, if she can climb this family business, it is also a good choice for her, which is more important, she Yan Xue is afraid that she has already weighed it in her heart." The word is the head, how many people are really infatuated in this world? ”

It's not that it's important to protect yourself first, a proud woman like Yan Xue has to lose even if she loses.

Qiao Ci listened and thought for a while, but then Qingwen spoke: "After all, the second prince is the son of Concubine Ru, how can a mother allow such a woman who pretends to be someone else in her heart to marry her son?"

Born in the emperor's family, there are many helplessness, and many things are involuntarily.

Jin Zhao sighed and said, "Right now, for Yu Wenxian, the future is the most important, and the status and prestige of the Yan family in the court is undoubtedly the best choice. If Concubine Ru has this plan, she has thought about it. ”

There must be gains and losses, fish and bear's paws, you can't have both, you must have a giveaway.

Qiao Ci said loudly: "Hearing what Miss said, it seems that she had expected this in advance, in this case, this banquet has found a reason to refuse, it must not matter, why did the eldest lady still go?"

After all, today's protagonist is Yan Xue, since this is the case, Qiao Ci thought that it was better not to go, anyway, for Miss, there was nothing important.

Jin Zhao only smiled and did not make a sound.

She just wanted to see with her own eyes if it was really as she guessed, she met Yan Xue on the way to Wuxi Palace before, and she deliberately provoked her, just to dispel her idea of marrying the third prince and cut off her hope.

Sure enough, she made her choice.

If it were her today, would she do the same thing as Yan Xue? Or can she be unmoved for the sake of her beloved? Maybe we won't know until that day.
