Chapter 236: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet

In winter, the New Year will soon begin, and the palace will begin to operate.

This year is a year of many disasters and difficulties, but the rest of her life, the Queen Mother was ready to do a big job, but Rong Cheng advocated frugality, and finally settled down, the treasury is not much silver, and the palace must be thrifty, leading by example, the family banquet is just that, why make it so extravagant.

Although Rong Cheng's temperament has always been like this, everyone has found out that Rong Cheng is not very obedient to the Queen Mother's words, and it can even be said that the Queen Mother is just a decoration.

After all, she is not a biological mother, and the relationship is not close, the two have relied on each other over the years, and now one has won the throne and the other has become the queen mother.

The Queen Mother has been good to Rong Cheng over the years, but Rong Cheng is not the kind of person who is close to everyone, except for Yun Qing, no matter who she is, she is indifferent and alienated. No matter how the Queen Mother persuaded her, Rong Cheng didn't give any face.

However, the banquet in this palace, no matter how frugal it is, can be called extravagant, and on that day, the concubines were carefully dressed, and for them, it was rare to have a chance to see His Majesty.

One is more delicate and luxurious than the other, Yunqing doesn't dress up much, but it is a little more formal than what she wears on weekdays. But Rong Cheng's eyes still fell on her the whole time, and he refused to give half a cent to the other well-dressed concubines.

This kind of banquet, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than watching songs and dances, and chatting a few words with words, not like the folk kind of family reunion and happiness, and it is really boring.

Today's banquet, Prince Rong also came with Yun Yi, Yun Yi gave birth in a month or two, sitting on Prince Rong's side with a big belly, throughout the banquet, Prince Rong didn't even look at her more, just said a few words to Concubine Yue.

After the emperor left, the mother and son have long lost their former beauty, and the lost Concubine Yue has aged a lot in an instant, although she is wearing fine makeup today, she still can't hide the crow's feet that appear at the corners of her eyes and the silver threads that appear at her sideburns. With the queen mother with infinite scenery, it is not the same day.

She is now older, and her heart has aged a lot, and she has tossed enough, I only hope that Prince Rong can be well, and Yun Yi can give birth to a little prince smoothly, and then she will spend the rest of her life in the palace peacefully.

It's just that Concubine Yue, who has been paying attention to her son, noticed that during the banquet, Prince Rong's eyes glanced at Concubine Yun from time to time, and Rong Cheng naturally noticed it, her face was gloomy and terrifying.

Concubine Yue couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in her heart, what is so good about this Yun Concubine? These two brothers actually have taken a fancy to her! Her reputation is so bad, and she has no identity background, she still has the opportunity to enter the palace as a concubine, how can she be so blessed?

Concubine Yue can't figure it out, but it doesn't matter, now that everyone has become a concubine, what else is she looking at as a stupid son!! Look at Yun Yi beside him, he is paying attention to her with a big belly at this time, and he is afraid that he will be wronged to death.

Fortunately, Prince Rong didn't go too far, so he didn't keep staring at Yun Qing, but just glanced at her from time to time, despite this, Rong Cheng was still extremely dissatisfied, and said coldly: "In a blink of an eye, Prince Rong is about to become a father, it seems that I should also work hard." ”

When the Queen Mother saw it, she smiled and said: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, don't always be busy with government affairs, but also go to the harem to walk around, the concubine has recently learned to make dim sum, Your Majesty can try it when you have nothing to do." ”

Rong Cheng didn't listen, but said, "Concubine Yun, come and sit beside me!"

After Yun Qing sat down next to Rong Cheng, Rong Cheng glanced at Prince Rong coldly, nothing more than to warn Prince Rong not to beat his woman's idea!

"Brother Huang, now that your concubine is pregnant, why don't you see Brother Huang take care of it a little?"

Rong Cheng opened his mouth lukewarmly, but Prince Rong sneered as if he was fine: "It's just a woman, it's still a concubine, is it possible that the king still needs to hide her treasure?"

These words were undoubtedly ironic that Rong Cheng's action of calling Yun Qing to his side was too petty, but it was actually because he was unhappy in his own heart.

The party Rong Cheng didn't care at all, and personally peeled a shrimp for Yun Qing and said: "On the contrary, I feel that those who remember themselves are much more productive than those who think about others." ”

These two big men are fighting openly and secretly here, Yun Qing can't help but be a little embarrassed, looking at Yun Yi, who is on Prince Rong's side, with a pale face, and can't help but sigh, although Yun Qing knows that after Yun Yi marries, she will definitely not be treated well by Prince Rong, but she never thought that now Yun Yi is still pregnant, in front of so many people, Prince Rong will say so unpleasantly, it is really not a trace of face for Yun Yi.

The women present, whether they were palace concubines or palace maids, all sympathized with Yun Yilai. In addition to the willow smoke......

Liu Yan felt that she had been humiliated at the moment, where did she have the heart to care about Yun Yi, all her attention was on Yun Qing beside Rong Cheng, as a concubine, she couldn't sit next to Rong Cheng, why did Yun Qing ?!!

Liu Yan's heart changed for a moment, and he suddenly smiled: "Concubine Yun and Mrs. Yi are worthy of being sisters, and it is really fate that they can sit next to His Majesty and the prince on such an occasion." ”

This is very sour, it's not that Liu Yan has no brains, she really can't bear it, the woman sitting next to His Majesty on this occasion is not the highest position in the harem, how should others look at her like that?

Seeing this, Concubine Qi immediately echoed: "Concubine Niangniang's words are reasonable, but ......" Concubine Qi paused, her beautiful eyes fell on Yun Yi, and said with a smile: "But it seems that the two sisters are not exactly the same." ”

Whether it is the identity of the man sitting next to him, or the degree of affection for them, it is obviously incomparable.

These words stimulated Yun Yi even more, and the gaze that looked at Yun Qing also carried a hint of viciousness.

Yun Qing couldn't help frowning slightly, these people really couldn't live in peace for a moment...... deliberately provoked her and Yun Yi, but what these people didn't know was that she and Yun Yi didn't have to provoke at all, and the relationship was not much better.

Yun Qing looked at Concubine Qi and said with a faint smile: "Sister Concubine Qi said that I and the fourth sister are not exactly the same, this palace is dull, where is the difference, why don't you make it clear?"

Concubine Qi didn't answer, she originally wanted to say, one is the emperor and the other is the prince, looking at Prince Rong's ice-like face, she didn't dare to say it, but said: "It's my sister who said it wrong, both of them are concubines, what's the difference?"

At this time, the Queen Mother, who had not spoken, also said: "Concubine Qi is not wrong, of course this is different, the prince does not have a concubine, it is just a matter of bringing a concubine by his side, His Majesty's harem is of the highest rank, but Concubine Liu, let Concubine Yun sit aside, it is not in accordance with the rules!"

Yun Qing glanced at Rong Cheng, but he didn't see a trace of emotion in his eyes, so he sat down with peace of mind, waiting for Rong Cheng to make a statement.

Looking at the expectant look in Liu Yan's eyes, Yun Qing lowered his eyes, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. Originally, it didn't matter where she sit, but at this moment, she inexplicably wanted to stay by Rong Cheng's side.

Fortunately, Rong Cheng said: "Queen Mother, this harem is my family affair, and I will decide what the rules are!"

was directly rejected, the queen mother was a little overwhelmed on her face, but she didn't dare to refute Rong Cheng, frowned and looked at Yun Qing and said: "Concubine Yun, Your Majesty is young and vigorous and doesn't understand the rules, but you should always understand the rules of the harem?!!"

Many people's eyes fell on Yun Qing's body, Yun Qing was named, so it was not good to continue to pretend to be dead, 'secretly pulled Rong Cheng's sleeve, got up and prepared to leave, Rong Cheng immediately understood, and ordered: "Sit down!"

Yun Qing immediately sat back: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the concubines understand this rule, but the concubines also know that the biggest rule is that the concubines must obey Your Majesty!"

The Queen Mother was choked and speechless, and after a long time, she snorted coldly and said, "I hope Concubine Yun really understands the rules of the harem, and don't be pampered and arrogant." ”

"The concubine obeys!"

After Yun Qing dealt with the Queen Mother, he glanced at Liu Yan, who was cold, and smiled faintly.

Yun Qing didn't know why she was like this, there was a vague sense of pleasure in her heart, obviously she never cared about these things in the past, but at this moment, she could stay by Rong Cheng's side, but she had an indescribable joy in her heart. Especially looking at Liu Yan, who was staring at him like a cannibal, he was even more happy in his heart.

As everyone knows, Rong Cheng saw all her every move, and a smile flashed in her dark eyes.

Finally, I learned to fight for him......

Rong Cheng peeled another shrimp and said to her: "Don't eat quickly, what's there to see?"

Yun Qing didn't expect his every move to fall into Rong Cheng's eyes, and he was inevitably a little embarrassed, but he also unceremoniously ate the shrimp peeled by Rong Cheng's hands, only to find that there were still a lot of shrimp left on the plate, except for the two she ate, she almost didn't move, and wondered: "Your Majesty doesn't eat it?"

On such a formal occasion, Yun Qing still had to call his majesty. Rong Cheng said: "I don't want to peel shrimp, I think this thing is troublesome to eat!"

Yunqing: "......"

Looking at the two shrimps she ate, she was actually quite moved?

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to peel it yourself, you can ask the palace people to help. ”

"If you have touched it by outsiders, I can't eat it!" Yun Qing heard this, and said in his heart that Rong Cheng was really poor.

"What about Yuan Qi? Your personal little eunuch won't be disgusted, right?"

When Rong Cheng heard this, he glanced back at Yuan Qi with great disgust, and said to Yun Qing in a low voice: "He?

"Poof......

Yun Qing glanced back at Yuan Qi and wanted to laugh inexplicably. Yuan Qi saw His Majesty and Concubine Yun whispering something, and glanced at himself from time to time. It was expected that the two of them were secretly speaking ill of him. The small body stands straighter.

I'm so angry, but I still have to keep smiling......

Yun Qing felt more and more that Rong Cheng and Yuan Qi, the master and servant, were very interesting, and said with a smile: "Is it okay for the concubine to peel it for you?"

"That's a good dare, it's rare for you to serve me once!"

Yunqing's hands that often cook, it is much easier to peel the shrimp than Rong Cheng, and after peeling it, he is ready to put it in Rong Cheng's bowl, but Rong Cheng said: "Hey me!"

Yunqing: "......?"
