Chapter 173: Demonstrations
Listening to the queen's undisguised sarcasm, the emperor was furious, but the queen didn't make any mistakes, her mother's power was unstoppable, and the crown prince was fostered under her name, so it was not good for him to be blatantly angry with her.
However, the dignity of being an emperor made him unable to tolerate such a provocation, and he suddenly felt that he had no way to vent his anger, and he couldn't help but drop his sleeves and said: "There are still some folds in my imperial study that have not been approved, so I will leave first." ”
He took two steps, and then remembered Concubine Rong who was standing aside waiting for his care, and said with a soft expression: "I will come to see you after I am busy with business, you don't think nonsense, when you give birth to a prince, I will promote you to a concubine." ”
He was obviously angry, deliberately losing the queen's face, but Concubine Rong couldn't hide her joy, and couldn't help but kneel down again, "Your Majesty treats your concubines like this......"
"Okay, today is your birthday, you can accompany them to have a good time, I'm gone." The emperor lost patience, helped her, dropped this sentence, and walked away with Yin Jingrui's support.
"The concubines (slaves) send your majesty."
By the time the emperor was gone, everyone got up, and the expressions on their faces were different.
Surprised, jealous, angry......
"It's all bad concubines, and the queen mother who harmed her was misunderstood by Your Majesty, and asked her to punish her concubines." Concubine Rong, who had the guarantee, was in a good mood, thinking of the queen who was eating deflated on the side, she said to the queen with a fake look, "But don't worry, the concubine will definitely explain to Your Majesty." ”
"No need, Concubine Rong still has peace of mind to raise the fetus, you don't need to worry about it here in this palace, didn't you hear Your Majesty say, after giving birth to a child, you will be promoted to a concubine, if there is an accident, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water?" The queen said coldly and sarcastically, and her attitude was no longer as peaceful as before.
Knowing that she was deeply favored by the emperor must have provoked her jealousy, Concubine Rong was not angry, anyway, she had the emperor's support, a nominal queen, she was not afraid.
"The concubine remembers the teachings of the mother, but the concubine is a child with the care of His Majesty's dragon energy, so she can naturally be healthy, and the mother doesn't have to worry about it."
Now that the queen has been injured by the emperor like this, she also feels bored, and she is too lazy to argue with her here: "The palace is also lacking, so I won't be here to hurt my sister Yaxing." ”
Then the queen also left.
Concubine Rong smiled disdainfully at her back, sat back in her place, and said to the palace man on the side, "Since that's the case, let's start." ”
Then the banquet gradually became lively, the palace people who played music played and sang, and a group of dancing girls in colorful clothes rushed in.
Because the emperor spoke just now, not to mention that the queen couldn't fall into defeat in her hands and fled, everyone no longer dared to blatantly talk about it, they all suppressed their thoughts and chatted, and some began to curry favor with Concubine Rong in the name of toasting.
And one of the concubines who stepped forward to ban alcohol attracted Concubine Rong's attention, not because she was outstanding, but because she was not good-looking, hidden among a group of women with different characteristics, very ordinary and ordinary.
However, she wears a sachet around her waist, but it is fragrant, and the fragrance is elegant and pleasant, such as cold plum fragrance, which is refreshing.
"You're a good sachet." Concubine Rong couldn't help but praise.
This noble Ru has been in the palace for six years, but because of his ordinary appearance, he is not favored by the emperor.
In this palace, there has always been high and low, and whether there is the favor of the emperor or not are simply two extremes, and this is exactly reflected in Concubine Rong and Ru Guiren.
Because of these, Ru Guiren's life in the palace was extremely difficult, and over time, people became a little cowardly, but they didn't expect the noble Concubine Rong to take the initiative to talk to herself, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet when she was excited, and she couldn't even speak clearly with a red face.
"Does Concubine Rong like it?" She was thinking about untying the sachet on her waist and giving it to Concubine Rong, but she was afraid that the other party would be noble and disgusted with the things she had used, not only did she not please her, but offended people, so she retracted her hand again.
"This sachet is made by the concubine who has nothing to do, and takes the plum blossoms in winter to dry, if Concubine Rong likes it, the concubine will send a few to the mother tomorrow?"
Concubine Rong just asked a little more on a whim, and when she heard that it was just made of ordinary plum blossoms, she lost her nature a little, and only said lazily: "Forget it, it's just an object that can't be put on the table, and I won't take my sister's love." ”
She is now the emperor's favorite concubine, what kind of sachet is not, how can she go to rare things for a disgraced concubine.
However, what she enjoyed most was the jealousy and envy of others, and she wanted to let this woman know how unbearable her life was, so she smiled and said to the servant: "When the noble Ru leaves in a while, you go and I will pick up a few pieces of condensation incense that His Majesty gave me a few days ago and give it to her." ”
Hearing this, the palace concubines next to them suddenly looked envious and jealous.
That condensation incense is a tribute from Fanbang, and it is rumored that a perfumer spends a lot of effort, and can only refine it into a small piece at most a year, which can be described as a thousand gold, and as soon as this Concubine Rong opened her mouth, she was so generous, and it was given to such a woman, they couldn't help but look at the culprit.
originally thought that he couldn't please Concubine Rong, but he was secretly annoyed, who knew that Concubine Rong actually gave herself such a precious thing.
"Concubine, thank you Concubine Rong." Ru Guiren was so excited that she almost cried.
After thanking him, Ru Guiren returned to his seat with an expression that was more excited than the emperor's presence.
Looking at her appearance of having never seen the world, everyone secretly laughed to themselves, but they came to Concubine Rong's side more and more often.
Enjoying everyone's jealousy and compliments, Concubine Rong's face bloomed, and she became even more proud.
Her gaze swept over Su Yiyi, even Zhu Dieyi, who was ignorant of the world, couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, and hid beside Su Yiyi for help.
Su Yiyi understands that Concubine Rong is in the limelight now, but she is afraid that she will refuse last time, she must be going to do it to herself, fortunately, she has already thought of a countermeasure.
Softly comforted Zhu Dieyi, as if she didn't feel Concubine Rong's gaze, she still calmly did her part.
After worshipping and accepting, the two retreated to the banquet, and met Xue who came forward to celebrate his birthday on the way, and the two exchanged a look that only the other party understood.
When she was half drunk, Concubine Rong seemed to be tired, so she stood up with the hands of the palace people and said to everyone: "This palace is not strong enough to drink, I want to go to the pool to sober up, sisters, please feel free." ”
She was pregnant, and she drank the non-intoxicating fruit wine from the Western Regions, where would she get drunk, but no one dared to question it, so she said: "Don't dare, please feel free to Sister Rong." ”
