"Concubine An's words are really funny, is there only one flower in the entire harem, and the rest of the people have become green leaves? Are you satirizing one of us, or are you doubting the emperor's vision of choosing a concubine? Among the many words of flattery, a voice that stood out from the crowd suddenly stood out from the crowd.

The atmosphere that had just been relieved was once again thrown into the ice cellar by this word, and countless concubines were silenced in place again, and their heads were lowered gently.

Concubine An looked at Concubine Qi who came out of the crowd, although it was not a thought to be sent off, but because Concubine Qi's generation was much older than her, the smile on her face did not dare to sink, "Concubine Qi is too careful, how dare I mean this, sister?" ”

Concubine Qi glanced at Concubine An with disdain, and finally fell on Concubine Xi, whose face had stiffened, "Concubine Xi Niangniang really loves flowers and flowers, but don't rob her of her prestige for a while, otherwise if the person above falls down, it will be stoned to death." ”

Even if Concubine Qi didn't make it clear, how could the concubines present not understand the meaning of her words?

This banquet was specially set up by the emperor tonight to welcome the new queen, in order not to declare the army to seize the throne and steal the limelight of the new queen, which concubine is not deliberately dressed plainly?

Although everyone has never seen this new queen, they are also the masters of their entire harem in the future, and no one will be stupid enough to offend the new queen at this time and bury endless troubles for themselves in the future.

The other concubines understood, and Concubine Xi naturally understood, of course, she also knew such a truth, but she didn't believe in this evil, because she believed that with the emperor's favor for her, she would never change because of a fool.

After a moment of silence, Concubine Xi pulled out a smile from her stiff cheeks, "Concubine Qi really knows how to plan ahead, but it's good for Concubine Qi to remember this by herself, this palace has always loved bright colors, this is something that the whole palace sister knows, as for whether it is to declare the army to seize the master, it is not something that the palace can stop, the four words of natural beauty, how can it be deliberately plain and can be covered?" ”

Concubine An, who was supporting Concubine Xi in front of her, wanted to interject and take the opportunity to follow a few words of flattery, but she raised her eyes to look at the disdainful smile on Concubine Qi's face, and after thinking about it, she finally closed her lips again.

These are the two one-headed guns and arrows in the harem, and there is no room for her to intervene at all, otherwise if she doesn't say a word well, she may not only provoke Concubine Xi, but also may offend Concubine Qi.

Of course, Concubine Qi didn't miss Concubine An's desire to interject, she took a few steps forward and walked to the other side of Concubine Xi, her eyebrows and eyes glanced at Concubine An, and a pale pink lip was the same as Concubine Xi, "Concubine Xi, you have to be careful to stand firm under your feet, otherwise this foot slips and falls, it is really bloody, and the person standing below is now holding you away, but the day you fall, it is not necessarily whether you can hold it." ”

Concubine An listened to the words of the light and darkness pointing the finger at herself, and lowered her eyes weakly, first, she didn't dare to open her mouth to refute, and second, Concubine Qi's words really hit her heart.

Concubine Xi wrung her long eyebrows impatiently, looked at Concubine Qi who was looking for fault beside her, her mind suddenly turned, and she actually laughed at Concubine Qi's eyes again, "Concubine Qi, what's wrong with today?" Could it be that before I saw the queen, I began to fall in love with the queen? As she spoke, she lowered her voice a little and looked into Concubine Qi's ear, "It's just that Concubine Qi has a heart, but this palace is afraid that the queen may not be intentional!" ”

In her opinion, Concubine Qi is so against herself today, it is nothing more than wanting to get closer to the new queen's camp, after all, there are many concubines who are in the same party with her in this palace, but there is no friendship with Concubine Qi at all.

The smell of roses swept into Concubine Qi's ears, piercing Concubine Qi's heart, she raised her eyes and was about to refute Concubine Xi, but she heard a eunuch shouting from outside the door, "The emperor has arrived——! ”

The bright yellow dragon robe became more and more brilliant under the candlelight of the main hall, and Xuan Yining was sensitive to the waves flowing in the air from the moment he entered the main hall.

The concubines who were waiting in the main hall saw that it was Xuan Yining who walked in, and they all knelt on the ground with a sigh of relief for this silent battle, "Your Majesty, Wan'an——! ”

Xuan Yining stopped a few steps before these concubines were far away, lowered his gaze and glanced around, and said lightly, "Get up, today is a family banquet, you don't need to be so restrained." ”

"Emperor Xie's ——!" In Xuan Yining's words, everyone slowly stood up, no longer standing in the center of the hall in groups like just now, but silently walked to their seats, and sat in their seats under the service of the palace maids in each room.

Among the concubines they did, there were very few concubines who had been pampered by Xuan Yining, and some of the concubines even had Xuan Yining's appearance vague and hazy, let alone intersected with Xuan Yining.

finally seized a chance to meet the emperor who they had been thinking about in their hearts, and all the concubines naturally deliberately pretended to be humble ladies, although they did not wear heavy makeup because they were washing the dust for the queen, but they all had an expectant heart, hoping that the emperor could stay more at himself because of his behavior.

However, among them, there are also people who behave differently from them, and Concubine Xi is the most unusual one.

Concubine Xi did not sit back in her seat like the other concubines, but walked in front of Xuan Yining with a charming smile with the support of the palace maid.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Xi said, and even took a step forward to support Xuan Yining's arm, "The concubine has taken a long time to put on the makeup of this Moon Shadow Dai, if she can't sit next to the emperor, she will waste all the hard work of the concubine." ”

She would make such a bold request, because every time she had a party before, she could sit beside Xuan Yining differently, and this banquet was no different in her eyes, because she didn't take the new queen in her eyes at all.

Concubine An, who was sitting in another place, couldn't help but have a glimmer of light in her eyes when she saw Concubine Xi like this, in her opinion, the reason why Concubine Xi had such audacity was all because of her favor.

This also strengthened her heart to have a lineup with Concubine Xi, because she was able to lift it, and now only Concubine Xi can help her get the emperor's favor with one move.

However, Concubine Qi, who was sitting in the first few rows of her, didn't think so, and she just laughed disdainfully at Concubine Xi's current coquettishness.

"Snort......" A soft voice of disdain came out of the blue mouth of the personal palace maid beside Concubine Qi.

When Concubine Qi heard this, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, she couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows and pull Lan Shui's sleeve, she is a good girl, but she can't hang things on her face, and she can't change it.

Lan Shui felt a pain in her wrist, and when she looked at it, she met Concubine Qi's tightened eyebrows, and when she saw Concubine Qi's appearance, Lan Shui also knew that it was her own sneer that attracted Concubine Qi's unhappiness, but seeing Concubine Xi's grandstanding, she just couldn't help it, and now she was dissatisfied with Concubine Qi, and she still lowered her waist and whispered, "Niangniang, Concubine Xi is so blatantly flattering in front of the emperor, how can it not make people sick." ”

When Concubine Qi heard this, her eyebrows tightened into a pimple, "You girl doesn't have a little bit of proportion?" The master's gossip is also what you can say? Do you want to wait for me to sew it for you myself? ”

Lan Shui saw that Concubine Qi was really angry, knowing that she had exceeded her bounds, she closed her mouth and stopped talking, leaving only these dissatisfaction in her heart.

Concubine Qi saw that the blue water around her stopped, and let out a faint breath, how could she not be disgusted with Concubine Xi's approach? However, everyone's survival methods in this harem are different, how can everyone be so obedient?

It's just that......

Concubine Qi raised her eyes and looked towards the center of the main hall, looking at Concubine Xi hanging in the crook of the emperor's arm, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

As far as she knew, this new queen who entered the palace was very amazing, not only let the emperor veto the Manchu officials' performance, but also took them into the palace in advance regardless of the auspicious day, and so that the emperor could make an exception for her one by one.

Concubine Xi is like a beautiful butterfly, spreading her proud wings, showing charm and beauty in front of Xuan Yining and the concubines of the palace.

Gui Luhai, who was following Xuan Yining, looked at Concubine Xi's full-fledged skirt and closed his eyes sadly.

He thought that with the emperor's appearance tonight, Concubine Xi, who had always been restless, would be able to restrain a little, but now it seems that the bloody storm has only just begun.

"Concubine Xi's 100-carat skirt really fits well." Xuan Yining, who had never spoken, couldn't tell the difference between joy and anger and looked at Concubine Xi who was entwined around her, "I haven't seen it before. ”

The smile on Concubine Xi's face paused, and then she reacted very quickly and laughed again, "This is the concubine's new skirt, I don't know if the emperor likes it?" ”

"That's really bothering Concubine Xi." Xuan Yining's smile was good-looking, and her dimples were deep, "It's just that I don't know, Concubine Xi is so bothered, is it for this banquet, or to welcome the new queen?" ”

This time, Concubine Xi's smile completely stiffened on her face, although Xuan Yining's voice still had a faint smile, but only she understood that the undercurrent hidden in these words was slowly flowing.

Xuan Yining was very satisfied with Concubine Xi's expression, stretched out his hand and took Concubine Xi's hand out of his arm, and instructed Gui Luhai on the other side, "Go and take Concubine Xi to sit in the seat." ”

"Yes, the minion obeys." Gui Luhai took the order, "Concubine Xi, follow the minion, please." ”

At this time, Concubine Xi was completely stunned, and she didn't know what to say except for following Gui Luhai and walking quietly towards her seat.
