Because she had been following Jian Huaizhen for a long time, she was very thoughtful and thoughtful, so she was very rigorous in the process of organizing the entire Ronghua banquet, lest there be the slightest mistake or omission.

Before I knew it, it was April 15th, the time to develop the Ronghua Banquet, and on this day, the concubines of the palace, the queen mother of the two palaces, and the women of the courtiers all came to the Yonghe Palace one after another.

Yonghe Palace is full of lanterns, hung everywhere with splendid colored flags, looks very beautiful, the shadow of the octagonal glazed palace lamp is cast on the golden glazed tile, there is a unique charm, for a while people are fascinated.

Tang Jingran hosted this glorious banquet, so she sat in the middle of the position, until the queen came over, Tang Jingran gave up her position and let the queen sit in the middle, and she and Wan Zhen'er accompanied each other on the left and right, and the queen mother of the two palaces sat on the main hall.

Empress Dowager Zhou was late, Empress Dowager Qian did not come, Empress Dowager Qian said that there was something wrong with her body, she didn't like to attend this kind of lively occasion, and now the emperor is full of money, and she and the emperor have been separated from yin and yang, seeing this situation is inevitably sad, so she did not come, and everyone is not good to say anything.

The banquet was full of all kinds of delicacies, all of which were appetizing food, and the food in the palace was originally delicious and salivating, but now it was handled piecemeal, specially prepared, and of course it had a unique flavor.

After everyone came, not long after, Zhu Jianshen came, so everyone shouted long live.

Zhu Jianshen asked everyone to get up, then sat down in the middle of the seat, and said with a smile: "Now that Concubine Shu has entered the palace, and Queen Wang is pregnant, it can be described as double happiness, so I deliberately ordered Concubine Shu to hold this glorious banquet to celebrate, this is a grand event to celebrate together in the palace, I hope you don't have to be formal, just let go of your arms."

So, those concubines, courtiers and women came forward to congratulate one after another, and for a while, flattery and entertainment were endless.

Tang was shocked to feel foggy there, and when he saw her like this, he knew that she didn't like this kind of scene, but it was difficult to say anything in front of so many people.

walked up to her side and whispered to her: "Concubine Shu, you can bear with it for a while, now that everyone is here, you must not make any petty sex." ”

Tang was shocked and looked at Scattered, and said: "Aunt Scattered, what you said is not right, the body of this palace is not, do you have to accompany you here?" This palace only likes the emperor, and no one wants to see him except the emperor. ”

After speaking, she stood up and said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, the concubine felt a little uncomfortable, so she took her leave first. ”

Zhu Jianshen saw that Tang was so rude, and knew that she had become very strange because she had taken the poison of witch Gu, so he didn't blame her, so he stroked his sleeve and said, "Okay, since this is the case, Concubine Shu will go down to rest first, and leave it to Queen Wang and Wan Zhen'er to be in charge here." ”

So, Tang was shocked and stroked his clothes and turned away.

Empress Dowager Zhou was furious when she saw Tang Jingran so little in her eyes, but in front of so many people, she didn't show it, she was just very dissatisfied with Tang Jingran in her heart.

There is one dish in this new banquet that attracts the most attention, and that is not the pearl crab from Yangcheng Lake.

While ordering the palace maids to eat a meal, he said to the emperor, the queen, Wan Zhen'er and others: "The pearl crab in Yangcheng Lake was sent over eight hundred miles in an urgent manner, and the lady concubine knew that the emperor and all the ladies loved to eat, so she specially ordered the slaves and maids to prepare some, and asked the emperor, the queen mother and all the ladies to appreciate their faces." ”

Although April is not the time to eat crabs, the pearl crabs in Yangcheng Lake have always been famous all over the world, and it is a delicacy for them to eat such delicious and fat crabs at this time.

Especially Queen Wang, Queen Wang likes to eat crabs very much, so she deliberately asked Zero to put a plate of pearl crabs in front of her, and pregnant women are the biggest in everything, so no one dares to blame her.

Wan Zhen'er has been watching every move at the banquet, and the purpose of this banquet is to hope that she can take the opportunity to fight Queen Wang and blame Tang Jingran.

But all along, she has seen that she has handled everything in an orderly manner, and it may not be easy for her to fight Tang Jingran.

And the most unexpected thing for her, because Tang Jingran didn't like this kind of scene, he actually said a word to the emperor, and went back to the palace to rest alone, leaving everyone here, and Zhu Jianshen didn't even get angry with her.

If Wan Zhen'er wants to be afraid of Tang Jingran anymore, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

And at this time, Zero brought up those pearl crabs from Yangcheng Lake, Wan Zhen'er's eyes suddenly brightened, and she suddenly remembered something.

She said: "I have heard that pearl crab cannot be eaten with many things, and the most inedible of them is persimmons. ”

Wan Zhen'er thought in her heart, but she was still smiling on her face, she called Mama Chen over and quietly told Mama Chen her thoughts.

When Mama Chen heard this, she smiled, and whispered to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, this matter is much easier to do, although it is said that there are no persimmons in our palace now, but a few days ago, Gu Gonggong's fellow villagers brought some persimmons from the south, why don't you give the persimmons to Queen Wang later?" ”

Wan Zhen'er shook her head and remained silent, so the banquet was staggered.

Because Queen Wang is pregnant, and she is pregnant with the emperor's son, the Queen Mother Zhou and the emperor are very accommodating to her, so the queen Wang ate a whole plate of pearl crab by herself.

After the banquet, everyone dispersed, and Zhu Jianshen originally wanted to go to the bedroom of Yonghe Palace to find Tang Jingran, but was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and you have to think about the big picture in everything, now that the queen is pregnant with an heir, and her actions remain the same, why don't you accompany the queen to the queen's bedroom to rest for a while?" ”

Zhu Jianshen saw that the queen mother had given an order, so he had to say helplessly: "Since this is the case, then I will accompany the queen." ”

So saying, he went back to the palace with the queen and the king.

Queen Wang didn't mention how happy she was in her heart, she had always held back, she didn't dare to anger Wan Zhen'er on the one hand and Tang Jingran on the other hand, she had a romantic relationship with the emperor when he was in an extremely sad mood.

Who knew that this would make her pregnant, and the imperial doctor also said that this was a male fetus after taking the pulse, she knew that this was the only chance she could turn over in this harem, so she cherished this opportunity very much.

Now she saw that the Empress Dowager Zhou was thinking about herself everywhere, and the emperor was willing to listen to the words of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and hurriedly thanked the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Wan Zhen'er saw it on the side, her eyebrows were drawn like blades, and she said in her heart: "I want to take a look and see how long you can be proud of this queen." ”

Although she thought so, she still didn't show it on her face.

So, the emperor and the queen went back to the queen's palace, and when the emperor and the queen returned to the palace, everyone dispersed, and Wan Zhen'er also took Mama Chen back to Xianfu Palace without mentioning it.

After returning to Xianfu Palace, Mama Chen sneered and said to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, how do you say these persimmons in our palace should be sent to the queen?" “

Wan Zhen'er thought for a while and said: "This matter is indeed a bit embarrassing, no matter what, no one can let people know, these persimmons are sent out from our palace, if it is known, the spearhead will be pointed directly at Xianfu Palace, this palace and you are inseparable, so we must think of a proper way." ”

Mama Chen has always been good at intrigue, coming up with ideas, she persuaded Wan Zhen'er.

Wan Zhen'er discussed with her for a while, and suddenly Mama Chen's front lit up, and there was a fire in her eyes that flickered, and she said to Wan Zhen'er: "The slave maid remembered a person, or she could help Niang Niang complete this task." ”

"Yo, who's who?" She asked.

Mama Chen smiled and said, "This person is not an outsider, it is Bing Yi, didn't Bing Yi go out of our Xianfu Palace?" If this persimmon is delivered by Bingyi, then things will go much smoother. ”

"But Bing Yi is now single-minded about Tang Jingran, how can he do things for us?"

Wan Zhen'er was noncommittal about the idea proposed by Mama Chen.

Who knew that Mama Chen smiled gloomily there, and said: "Niangniang, I think you forgot about a year, this Bing is also in this harem, it is said that there is also a younger sister in the pulp washing bureau, her name is Bingning, as long as Niangniang thinks of a way to transfer Bingning to her side, Bing Yi just doesn't want to help Niangniang do things." ”

So, Mama Chen did as Wan Zhen'er instructed, Mama Chen knew that things were very anxious, if she couldn't let Bing also send the persimmons to Queen Wang in time, and wait until the crab on Queen Wang was over, if she wanted to eat persimmons again, I am afraid it would be useless.

So after she came to the Pulp Washing Bureau, she asked Shang Gong of the Pulp Washing Bureau, "Is there a person here named Bing Ningke?" ”

Shang Gong, who was washing the pulp, saw that it was Mama Chen, and knew that she was a celebrity in front of Wan Zhen'er, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "It turns out that Mama Chen is here, Mama Chen, please do it, yes, there is indeed a palace maid named Bingning here, why did Mama Chen suddenly ask about this matter today." ”

Mama Chen casually took out dozens of taels of silver and stuffed them into Nashang Palace, and said: "Our mother is optimistic about this girl Bingning and wants to transfer her to Xianfu Palace for appointment, I don't know if Shang Gong can have a slight resignation." ”

Where did Shanggong dare to go against Wan Zhen'er, she heard what Mama Chen said, and hurriedly accepted the silver, and said happily: "Since it is the person that the mother has a crush on, how dare the slave and maid say anything?" Now the slave maid went to call Bingning over and asked her to serve Niangniang in the Xianfu Palace, and Niangniang could take a fancy to Bingning, which was the blessing that Bingning had cultivated for several lifetimes! ”

After speaking, Na Shang Gong went to the pulp washing bureau and called Bing Ning over, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, very petite, very thin, and sallow, as if she was malnourished.

Mama Chen glanced at her and said coldly, "Go!" ”

Na Bingning had never seen Mama Chen before, but now when she saw an old mama standing in front of her, she threw a cold word to herself, she was so frightened that she couldn't figure it out, and hurriedly hid behind Na Shang Palace.

While hiding, she said, "I didn't do anything wrong, please don't take me away, I won't dare to do it again." ”

Looking at her frightened appearance, I'm afraid it's because she has been bullied a lot before.

"Who said you did something wrong?"

Seeing this, Mama Chen stepped forward to hold her hand and said, "It's our mother who has taken a fancy to you, and I hope you can go to your mother's side to serve, you see that you are scared of this child." ”

Mama Chen was originally a ruthless person, but when she saw Bingning's sincere and frightened look, she couldn't help but remember the situation when she came to the palace in the first place, and a trace of pity appeared in her heart.

Na Bingning saw that Mama Chen was suddenly so kind to herself, so she nodded again and again and followed Mama Chen.

After Mama Chen took Bingning to Xianfu Palace, she said to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, this girl is Bingyi's sister Bingning. ”

Wan Zhen'er glanced at her, saw that she was thin, and said, "This girl is really thin, since this is the case, you can think of a way to deal with her!" ”

Mama Chen looked at Bingning, and a look of pity suddenly appeared on her face.

Therefore, she said to Wan Zhen'er: "Niangniang, this girl of mine seems to have suffered a lot on weekdays, why don't you give her to the slave maid and let her follow the slave maid in the future?" ”

Wan Zhen'er felt a little strange, and she asked Mama Chen: "Mama Chen, do you also have compassion now?" ”

Mama Chen smiled slightly, and then kept silent.

Seeing this, Wan Zhen'er smiled and said, "Okay, since you have a crush on this girl, then let this girl follow you!" ”

So, Bingning followed Mama Chen.

Mama Chen immediately sent someone to inform Bing Yi and invited her to come to Xianfu Palace, saying that Wan Zhen'er was going to summon her.

Na Bing also suddenly got the news, and she didn't know what Wan Zhen'er was looking for her, she was a little scared in her heart, but despite this, she still came to Xianfu Palace to see Wan Zhen'er.

Because she knew that Wan Zhen'er was ruthless, and Mama Chen couldn't help but be cruel to people, if she didn't come, they would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge on them in the future.

After she came to the Xianfu Palace, when she saw Wan Zhen'er, she hurriedly saluted Wan Zhen'er and said: "Slaves and maids see the imperial concubine, long live the imperial concubine, long live the imperial concubine." ”

Wan Zhen'er waved her hand and said, "That's it, Bingyi, this palace summoned you today because I want to ask you for help." ”

Bing Yicheng was terrified and said: "Niangniang Bingyi can't help Niangniang with anything, Bing Yi also asks Niangniang to let Bing go too, right?" ”

"What, what do you mean by this, do you think this palace wants you to do something bad?" Wan Zhen'er said to her with some dissatisfaction.

Bing Yi was silent there, in fact, what kind of person was Wan Zhen'er, and how could she not know? She knew that it was definitely not a good thing for Wan Zhen'er to find herself, so she made this expression.

Her expression angered Wan Zhen'er, and Wan Zhen'er said coldly to her: "Okay, since you don't want to come to this palace, Xianfu Palace, what else does this palace say, Mama Chen, you take Bing Yi down first, Bing Yi is still much inferior to her sister Bing Ning, in the end, Bing Ning is more kind." ”

"What, Bingning?" Bing also heard Wan Zhen'er say the word "Bingning", and her lips turned pale with fright.

She looked at Wan Zhen'er, her lips trembled for a long time, and then she said to Wan Zhen'er: "What is the matter with Niangniang, even if you tell Bing Yi, my sister is young and ignorant, and I ask Niangniang to let my sister go." ”

"What do you mean by that, do you think this palace is going to deal with your sister? If you say that, you're looking at this palace too much. Wan Zhen'er said with some annoyance.

Na Bing also knew that no matter what she said at this moment, she would annoy Wan Zhen'er, so she stopped talking, and Wan Zhen'er's heart calmed down when she saw this.

Mama Chen said from the side: "Bing Yi, Niangniang is under one person, above ten thousand, you are so rude to Niangniang now, Niangniang doesn't even blame you, don't you hurry up and thank Niangniang?" ”

Bing Yi is now single-mindedly only remembering Bingning's comfort, where she can take care of so much, so as soon as Mama Chen told her, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wan Zhen'er: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, ......."

She said it several times in a row, Wan Zhen'er shook her hand and said: "That's it, this palace can't look down on you like this kid the most in my life, forget it, this palace doesn't want to embarrass you, this palace just wants to ask you to help this palace do something, I don't know if you are willing to help this palace do it?" ”

Bing Yi saw that her sister Bing Ning was caught by her, no matter what she said, of course she was willing to do it.

Therefore, she said repeatedly: "As long as Niangniang asks me to bring Bingning back, then no matter what Niangniang asks me to do, I am willing to do it for Niangniang." ”

"Okay, there's one more thing, after you do this, if others ask about you, you definitely can't say that this palace made you do it, you know?" Wan Zhen'er's eyes were cold and sharp.

Na Bing was also so frightened that he shuddered, and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, Niangniang, Bing also knows what to do." ”

"Well, if you're smart, that's good."

After Wan Zhen'er finished speaking, she gave Mama Chen a look and said, "Mama Chen? ”

Mama Chen responded: "Yes, the slave is here." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and said to Bing Yi: "Bing Yi, in fact, Niang Niang is not asking you to do anything bad, this matter is too simple for you, here is a box of persimmons, after you leave Xianfu Palace now, you will immediately go to the queen's Kunning Palace and send this box of persimmons to the queen, do you know?" ”

"What, send persimmons to the queen, is this persimmon in -"

Bing Yi pointed to the persimmon with a panicked look on her face, she was afraid that Wan Zhen'er had poisoned the persimmon.

Wan Zhen'er laughed and said: "Don't worry, since this palace let you send it, you won't be stupid to poison the persimmons, so white, you can rest assured to send the persimmons, there is another thing, you can't tell anyone, this persimmon was sent by this palace, if not, then your sister Bingning-"

Speaking of this, Wan Zhen'er smiled.

Wan Zhen'er's words fell on Bing Yi's heart, Bing Yi felt very panicked, she knew what Wan Zhen'er meant, Wan Zhen'er was threatening her, she wanted to tell her, if she dared to tell outsiders that this persimmon was given by her Wan Zhen'er, then Wan Zhen'er would definitely not let go of her sister Bingning.

She gritted her teeth and said to Wan Zhen'er: "That's it, since Niangniang sent the slave maid to do this, the slave and maid will do it for Niangniang now, and the big deal will be death." ”

After saying that, she picked up the persimmon and turned and walked out.

When Bing Yi's figure gradually walked away, this Xianfu Palace disappeared, Wan Zhen'er sat down there, she breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had just experienced a war.

Wan Zhen'er has experienced several ups and downs in this harem, experienced countless clouds and waves, she has lived every day step by step, and there is no day that can live in peace.

Recently, there are a lot more people she has to watch out for, so she has been very worried in her heart, and now that the queen is pregnant again, this is really a big blow to her, she thinks that the queen will soon lose her baby, and she feels extremely comfortable and stunned in her heart.

Because she knew what it would mean if the queen gave birth to a child, it meant that she Wan Zhen'er would no longer have a foothold in this harem.

Bing also carried the basket of persimmons, and walked towards the Kunning Palace with sincere trepidation.

She expected that most of these persimmons were poisonous, otherwise why would Wan Zhen'er use Bingning as a threat and deliberately let her send a box of persimmons?

And Wan Zhen'er once told her not to tell anyone that this persimmon was sent by herself, so who is it that is good? If she said that she was sent by a little palace maid, the queen would not believe it, and the only person who wanted to say it was Tang Shufei Tang Jingzhen.
