Cao Shunrong struggled and said that he was cured, but he secretly did not let go of this matter. She trembled, knowing that someone wanted to compete with her for the princess. Although she said that she was well, the emperor and the concubine did not speak, and the princess could not move in. If you don't move here, this thing won't be a real thing, it will always be complicated, who knows who else will be calculated? was so frightened and frightened, he waited until the tenth day of the lunar month to hold a winter banquet in the palace.

It is said that it is a winter banquet, but because the concubine died for a hundred days, there was neither wine nor dance music at the banquet, and there were few people who were qualified to sit at the table.

Gao Jieyu wore a begonia red palace dress today, with fat powder on her face, and a set of seven new seal flowers inlaid with treasure hairpins on her head in winter this year, with tassels dangling next to her cheeks, and the whole person didn't look old at all. But Cao Shunrong is obviously younger than her, but her complexion is much worse after a while, her cheeks are so thin that she is sunken, and the fat powder is also rubbed, but it seems to be floating on her face, which is not natural at all. She was not born well, but she read poetry and books at home and had a bit of talent, and she looked a little more different than others. But after being sick these days, the whole person has no vitality at all, the newly made palace clothes are empty on the body, and the waist and back are a little rickety, sitting with Gao Jieyu, it seems to be older than Gao Jieyu.

Her eyes twinkled, and she looked at the people at the table one by one. To be able to sit at this table, at least it has to be a beauty to the top of the rank. The emperor is not a lustful person, there are really not many harem concubines, and everyone who can come today is here, but there are still only so many people. Cao Shunrong didn't dare to say that it must have been the concubine who harmed her, and she was also suspicious of others in her heart. looked at them one by one, and felt that all of them were suspicious, and all of them seemed to be calculating her and trying to harm her. She only dared to touch her lips on the things on the table, and she didn't dare to eat a mouthful. Not to mention the things outside, even if she is in Yalanxuan now, she is always suspicious when she looks at the meals sent every day, no matter what she eats, her stomach is as difficult as swallowing sand and gravel stones, and she is shaking when she walks all these days, if she doesn't want to see the emperor and find an opportunity to say a few words to the emperor to please her, I am afraid that she will not be able to come to the palace banquet today.

As long as the emperor said a word, quickly move Princess Yujun to Yalanxuan, her hardships these days are not in vain, after the princess moved here, she worked harder, so that the emperor could see her benefits.

The hall is very quiet, no one moves the dishes on the table, the emperor is also there, and no one dares to say anything, although there are so many people sitting in the room, it is lifeless, Cao Shunrong glanced at the middle seat, the emperor has shown his face and left the winter banquet in previous years, and sometimes he does not show his face, but today he has made an exception and stayed. Beside him was the concubine, who turned half of his face slightly and talked to Princess Yuyao who was sitting on the side. Princess Yujun was carried to the banquet last year and showed her face, but this year because she has been sick, no one dares to take her out.

Cao Shunrong's gaze moved from the concubine's face to Princess Yuyao. Princess Yuyao has grown very fast in the past two years, combing a double snail bun, wearing a pair of gold silk wrapped around jade flowers, and a very delicate red gold inlaid ruby collar around her neck, and the ghostly hanging spikes on her head are extremely exquisite. In addition to this, she also had a silver chain tied around her neck, and in the middle of the chain was a small and delicate white jade rabbit, but the size of a knuckle.

are all princesses, Princess Yuyao is healthy, smart and smart, and more importantly, she is favored, and the emperor loves this daughter very much. If you raise Princess Yujun by yourself, maybe the next time you have a palace banquet, you can sit at the table where the emperor sits with Princess Yuju.

How many years has Cao Shunrong been in the palace? When I first entered the palace, I was still high, and I always felt that I had read poetry and books, and I couldn't fight for some favor like those illiterate women, which was too vulgar. After all these years, I realized that I was actually just a layman. I have been under the queen and the concubine, I have been angry, I have established rules, I have been punished for copying scriptures, and I have not suffered less cynicism, and I want to rise with my breath in my heart, everything I say in the palace is false, and only giving birth to a prince is real.

I heard that people said that it was too thin and difficult to conceive, and she also secretly recuperated, eating four meals a day and adding two snacks, and her body was a little more fleshy than before, but her belly was not angry. also secretly asked the doctor to help the pulse, afraid that there was something wrong with his body, and the doctor said that there was nothing.

She also knows that it is not good to be anxious to have a child, but the days when the emperor enters the harem are so few, and she may not be able to see her once in a month, looking forward to it, looking forward to it every day, looking forward to it every night, and then ...... And then so many years have passed.

When he toasted the emperor just now, Cao Shunrong's palms were sweating, cold and hot, how many words were hidden in his stomach, he finally saw the emperor, and if he missed this time, he might not have a next time. She really wants to ask the emperor for a favor, and beg the emperor to implement the princess to her quickly, and she has to boil herself to death if she suffers so much.

The words went to the throat, and at a glance I saw a bright and graceful concubine sitting next to her, today is the winter banquet, she is wearing a serious concubine auspicious dress, the bright yellow auspicious dress embroidered with Luan Feng is particularly luxurious, and the Luan Feng color wing is a real gold thread, it seems that the bright and bright is very bright, and the Luan Feng is like flying out of the brocade.

With such a distraction, I can't speak. When I came back to my senses, I had already missed the opportunity, so I had to come back and sit down.

Gao Jieyu didn't eat much of the things on the table, they were all half cold and not hot, and waited until a hot pot of mutton was served, and the pot was with charcoal, so that the palace people scooped half a bowl of soup, and there was a piece of tofu and a piece of mutton stewed crispy, and when the soup and meat were eaten, the body felt warm. Looking at Cao Shunrong beside her, Gao Jieyu also said to her: "This soup is not greasy, you can taste it too." ”

Cao Shunrong came back to his senses, looked at Gao Jieyu, and said, "I haven't dared to eat meat these days, and my stomach can't stand it." ”

This is not a lie.

Gao Jieyu nodded and didn't say anything else.

Cao Shunrong didn't suspect that Gao Jieyu was calculating her and rushing to raise the princess with her, Gao Jieyu wanted the princess, but there was a precedent for Gao Jieyu to want the princess, when Concubine Shu was not there, Gao Jieyu still jumped up and down to raise Princess Yuyao. Now that she finally got another chance, she must have a lively mind, so that no means are unusual.

Cao Shunrong sat on the other side of Li Zhaorong, this one originally looked like he had few words, was peaceful, and didn't take care of things. But Cao Shunrong is no longer naïve. Who in the palace is not the two faces of the front and the back? If Li Zhaorong is really honest, how can she climb to the Zhaorong of the concubine with her as a show girl with no foundation?

And on Gao Jieyu's side sat Chen Jieyu. She has been sick for a long time and has not gone out, and Cao Shunrong has seen her for the first time since she was poisoned. Chen Jieyu was also an outstanding beauty before, and before the concubine, she was the most eye-catching one in the palace. But after several ups and downs, Chen Jieyu is different now than she was at the beginning. Pale and thin, even sitting in such a warm palace, he was still wrapped in two coats, leaning on the back of the chair for a long time without moving or saying a word.

Cao Shunrong didn't want to see her more.

This is the end of falling out of favor once, what is the difference between sitting in the cold palace, only one breath more than the ashes of the wood.

Cao Shunrong would never want to live like that.
