"Today's banquet is really the emperor's favor for the queen." The Queen Mother sat on the seat and looked at the Empress Dao with a smile.

Situ Ning bowed his head decently, and said apologetically: "For the sake of this palace, I want all the sisters to come, and this palace feels deeply guilty." Although she is the queen, most of the people here entered the palace earlier than Ning Er. In the future, if Ning'er behaves inappropriately, I hope the sisters will point it out. ”

The tables inside and outside were full of concubines, and when they heard this, everyone only dared not dare on the surface, but in their hearts they were thinking: Who dares to come forward and say that the queen's behavior is wrong? is the person who the emperor holds on the tip of his heart, and he is the lord of the six palaces. In the future, isn't this one person in the harem?

Xuanyuan Zili sat aside, still with no expression on his face, and he didn't look out to see if everyone was here or not, but only said lightly: "I am busy with state affairs, and the trivial matters of the harem on weekdays are handed over to the queen." Today is the first time that the masters of each palace and the queen meet, so they will start from the high position and greet the queen in turn, which is also convenient for the queen to get familiar with the people in the harem. ”

As soon as these words came out, the concubines were quiet. Except for the Queen Mother, everyone else inevitably didn't think about it in their hearts, but they still had a reluctant smile on their faces, quietly waiting for something. At this table in the main hall are not only the emperor and queen mother, but also Princess He'an, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Liang. Which of these is a good match?

Sure enough, the first to speak was the outspoken concubine, and seeing that the queen did not mean to please Qiaoqiao, she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there are many sisters here, one by one to salute and toast, isn't the queen mother unable to eat?" I can see it when I return to the court, so why rush at this time. ”

Concubine Liang rarely agreed, and chuckled: "Yes, if one person toasts a glass of wine, how can the queen mother drink it?" ”

The Queen Mother didn't speak, Princess He'an only glanced at Situ Ning and didn't speak. Xuanyuan Zili looked up in the direction of Concubine Shuliang and said coldly: "I drink for the queen, okay?" ”

All the concubines were startled, and no one dared to speak out again. This sentence was not said loudly, but it really exploded in everyone's heart. The older concubines naturally only sighed. For those with less seniority, this poisonous resentment can be buried. The woman who appeared plainly snatched the king's heart and sat in the back seat, how can people not resent or hate?

Situ Ning was stunned in his seat, and he didn't know what to say. This sentence sounds sweet to her, but others don't feel sour in their hearts when they hear it? But she is not afraid, in this palace, as long as Xuanyuan Zili spoils her for one day, then no one will be able to touch her for a day. And he... said that he would always spoil her, but there was no joke.

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth, and was the first to stand up if she was unwilling, walked up to the queen with a cup, and curtled her knees: "Concubine Nafu Palace Concubine An, may the mother be blessed." This cup of wine is drunk by the concubine herself, and the mother does not have to move. ”

After that, he drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and saluted again before returning to his seat.

Now that it's already the beginning, there's no way around it. Concubine Liang then also saluted the queen, and then came Concubine Sun and the other concubines sitting outside.

As Concubine Shu said, there is really no need to eat for a circle like this. The emperor's banquet today is to help the queen establish his authority, for fear that someone will bully his favorite.

Princess He'an watched coldly, but saw that her royal brother's eyes were not always on the queen, but looked at the concubines who came in one by one, frowning.

What's going on? Princess He'an tugged at the Queen Mother's sleeve inexplicably, and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, which one is the royal brother singing, Lan'er can't understand." ”

The Queen Mother patted Princess He'an's hand and smiled kindly: "You, you're still too young, and many things will only look at the surface." Look at it, your royal brother, your mind is bent. No matter how simple a question is, it can turn him into a toss for a group of people. ”

Princess He'an blinked, and she didn't understand it anymore. The Queen Mother is also accustomed to nine bends and eighteen bends when she speaks, alas, she is really tired. But look at this meaning, does it mean that the emperor's drunkard doesn't mean to drink? Where's that?

No one touched the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table, and by the time all the concubines had finished toasting, it was already past lunchtime. The emperor's expression was calm, he only glanced at everyone, and said coldly: "My will today is to let all the concubines in the six palaces, including Xiu Nu, come to Kunning Palace. ”

Shangguan Liu'er, who was sitting on the outermost, heard this, and her heart sank. Oh no, Sister Liangyue didn't come. But with so many people, how did the emperor still find out? It's miserable, if you don't obey the order, where is the crime that a show girl can bear?

After hesitating for a moment, Shangguan Liu'er gritted her teeth, got up and knelt down at the door of the main hall, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the show girl Mo Liangyue is unwell today, and she is afraid of colliding with Feng Jia, so she has never come." ”

The Queen Mother frowned, but Xuanyuan Zili slowly stood up, walked to the door of the main hall, looked down at Shangguan Liu'er, and sneered: "Feeling unwell? Such a prevarication is not something that a little show girl should use. ”

Shangguan Liu'er's face turned pale, and she hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Liu'er went to Sister Liangyue's room to see, and Sister Liangyue was indeed unwell, so she couldn't come." ”

Concubine Shu snorted coldly, and Concubine Liang's face was naturally not very good-looking. However, compared to that Gu Liangyue, the current Situ Ning is even more of a thorn in the flesh. It's better if these two people can fight, and the ending of both defeats is really gratifying. It's a pity that Gu Liangyue is still just a little show girl, and she can't compare with the queen at all.

"Brother Huang, but a show girl didn't come, are you so angry?" Princess He'an smiled and said, "I really can't see the queen being wronged at all." ”

Xuanyuan Zili snorted lightly, not intending to return to his seat. Situ Ning asked a little strangely, "Is there anything special about that show girl?" It is worth Your Majesty's concern. ”

"Nope." Xuanyuan Zili replied lightly, looked at Shangguan Liu'er and said, "I just don't like people to lie. As a show girl, she has such a big shelf. If you have a position in the future, you can't fly to the sky? ”

Gu Liangyue has such a good foundation, will she get sick if she is fine? She didn't want to come, but he wanted her to come! Haven't you always been calm and calm? But after the immediate, can she also avoid it?

"The hour of lunch is over." Emperor Mingxuan glanced at everyone, and then saluted the queen mother and said: "Today, I am tired of the queen mother, and the food is cold, so all the concubines will go back to their palaces to eat." The queen has also worked hard all the way, so she should have a good rest. ”

"Is the emperor going back to the imperial study?" Situ Ning stood up, looked at the emperor with some astonishment and asked.

Xuanyuan pursed his lips, looked back at Shangguan Liu'er who was kneeling on the ground and said, "I, let's go with Ling Lan to see if the so-called unwell show girl is really unwell." If you prevaricate and deliberately fail to attend, you are contempt for the queen and disobey the holy decree. This kind of person, I don't want to stay in the harem. ”

Situ Ning frowned, stunned for a while, then returned to a gentle smile on his face, and curtsied: "The concubine respectfully sends the emperor." ”

"Congratulations to the emperor." All the concubines also stood up and saluted.

Princess He'an raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she understood what the queen mother said just now. The imperial brother is indeed very cunning, he goes around a big circle for everything, but he also circles many people in, which makes people think that he really spoils Situ Ning and is lawless. But this seems to be a way to help the queen establish her authority and consolidate her position for the queen, but the final result is that she still has to go to Gu Liangyue.

Shaking his head, Princess He'an saluted the Queen Mother, and then turned around and went out to follow his royal brother.

A woman holds it in the palm of her hand, and a woman steps on hell. A woman gives deep favor, and a woman gives hatred. Xuanyuan Zili's feelings are terrifyingly strong, but these two extremes, who says that they will not go the same way?

A table of untouched dishes, a glass of empty wine. After this lunch, the status of the queen was completely established. Rao is Concubine Shu and the others are older than Situ Ning, and they dare not be disrespectful at this time. Later, when I saw the queen, I swallowed my anger for a while.

As soon as he stepped into Wenxiangyuan, he saw the palace maid beside Liang Yue coming out with a tray of food. Princess He'an called: "The palace maid, stop." ”

Zhong'er heard the voice and turned back suspiciously, but saw the emperor and the princess coming to the side room. Immediately, his legs were weak in fright, and he spontaneously knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "The slave and maid meet the emperor and the princess." ”

"Well, just call you, why are you scared like this?" Princess He'an looked at the thin palace maid, and said dissatisfiedly: "The master's courage has not been learned." ”

Xuanyuan Zili continued to walk forward with a cold face, walked directly to the door of the wing, frowned and looked at the door for a while, then stretched out his hand and pushed it open.

Gu Liangyue was still sitting on the soft couch, and her whole person looked no different from usual. Emperor Mingxuan's brows relaxed, and then he sneered: "Is it really unwell? Look, you're so good. ”

Liang Yue looked at the emperor who suddenly opened the door and came in in a daze, and some did not react. Is she hallucinating? Why did this person who was supposed to pamper the new queen in Kunning Palace appear here? She must have hallucinated with a headache, or should she go get some sleep.

Seeing that she didn't react for a long time, Xuanyuanzi moved closer with a frown, looked at the face that was reduced but still beautiful, and said in a deep voice: "Can't you hear me?" ”

Princess He'an didn't quite hear the movement, and hurriedly followed. Looking at Liang Yue who was stunned on the soft couch, she not only asked Zhong'er who was pulled in by her with some doubts: "What's wrong with your master?" ”

Zhong'er shook her head a little tremblingly: "The slave doesn't know. The master didn't sleep well yesterday, and she sat on the couch in a daze since the slave came in this morning. ”

Listening to the palace maid's words, Xuanyuan Zili frowned even more, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Liang Yue's shoulder. But who knows, this touch, the tentacles are hot.
