Chapter 445: Slapping the concubine in the face at the plum banquet
After retiring from the dynasty, Zhou Daxue was on the cusp of the storm and did not dare to go to his daughter's dormitory. If he went to his daughter to discuss this matter at this time, wouldn't it be his weak heart.
After Scholar Zhou returned home, he asked the little girl in the house to send a letter to his daughter to inform him of the incident.
The imperial concubine has not had a good time in the past two days, and it can be described as sitting on pins and needles. Originally, I was waiting for the news that the prince died of smallpox. Unexpectedly, what I was waiting for was the news that the crown prince smallpox was cured by the third princess.
The imperial concubine is about to be angry with the third princess, and this country girl knows that it is a good thing to her.
She couldn't swallow this breath, and received a letter from her father, saying that the third prince had participated in her father's book in the court, and Dali Siqing took the lead in investigating whether her father was involved in the prince's smallpox. Even with her, she will be investigated, and she won't be able to run.
After reading the letter, the concubine became even more panicked. The third prince and the third princess are too hateful, this is not to make her life easier, she also wants to block the third prince and his wife.
The concubine thought so, it happened that the plum blossoms in the palace were in full bloom, and she was going to hold a plum appreciation banquet. It was supposed to be a few days later, but she couldn't wait to block the third princess, and planned to hold a plum blossom banquet the day after tomorrow.
The concubine is the head of the four concubines in the harem, she holds a plum blossom banquet, the concubines in the palace will give face, and the nobles in the capital will come to participate.
Kapok received an invitation from the imperial concubine to enjoy the plum banquet, which was a wooden plaque engraved with the words "plum banquet", and her signature on it, which can be said to be very thoughtful.
She didn't think about going, after all, she didn't know the imperial concubine. She would go to the plum banquet, and it was the third sister-in-law who came to her and asked her to accompany her.
If she doesn't go, the third sister-in-law won't go. The eldest princess heard that she was going to enter the palace to participate in the plum banquet, and she also planned to enter the palace.
The three of them were invited into the palace together. On the day of the plum banquet, all the nobles were shocked when they saw the three princesses, the eldest princess, and the princess Feifei who appeared together.
You must know that the eldest princess and the princess of Feifei rarely attend palace banquets. The imperial concubine's face this time is a bit big.
"Eldest Princess, please take a seat. The lord of Feifei also came, and this plum banquet was really lively. "When the imperial concubine saw that the eldest princess would come, she was a little surprised, so she went over to greet the eldest princess in person. She directly ignored the three princesses who came with the eldest princess.
Everyone was surprised, the imperial concubine obviously looked down on the three princesses. None of them, the nobles in Beijing, dare to look down on the three princesses now.
The third princess has become a celebrity in front of the emperor by virtue of her own ability, and she is the only one who has won two gold medals since the founding of the Great Chu State. He has repeatedly made miraculous achievements.
They can be said to have received the favor of the three princesses, and the golden charcoal is not easy to buy this winter, if it weren't for the invention of anthracite by the three princesses, they would all have to be frozen.
When the nobles of the capital thought of this, they had an inexplicable good impression of the three princesses, and many of them were not used to seeing the imperial concubines ignoring the actions of the three princesses. It's just that because of the identity of the imperial concubine, I don't dare to speak.
"The reason why this palace came here was because they all came with the three princesses. The main palace is to sit with the three princesses. The imperial concubine does not need to be polite. Chu Huaiyu opened his mouth indifferently and detachedly, and made his position clear at the moment.
The imperial concubine was slapped in the face by the eldest princess in public, her face turned pale for a moment, and she quickly recovered. She didn't expect that the eldest princess, who had always been good friends with different people, would be so friendly with the third princess and defend her so much.
"I don't know that the eldest princess is good friends with the third princess. In this case, the eldest princess and the three princesses are all invited to take a seat. The imperial concubine said with a smirk.
The eldest princess didn't want to offend yet, so she could only ask the three princesses to take advantage of this, and the three princesses would be embarrassed for a while.
"Mianmian, Fei Fei sits with the main palace." Chu Huaiyu was not so detached from Kapok when he spoke.
Kapok and Lu Feifei are not twisted people, and the two of them sit beside the eldest princess on the left and right.
"Why hasn't Sister Queen come yet? Tell so many noble ladies to wait for her. Someone came to urge the queen's sister. The host of the imperial concubine spoke in a somewhat complaining tone.
If the queen doesn't come, she won't give her face as a concubine.
The queen was pregnant and didn't want to participate in this kind of occasion, but after hearing that the third princess and the eldest princess were here. Her heart was shaken.
The queen soon appeared at the palace banquet, and was surrounded by the stars and the moon in the center to ask for warmth. The imperial concubine also pretended to come over. She exchanged glances with Xu Zhaoyi on the other side.
Xu Zhaoyi immediately understood, but unfortunately this scene was seen by the sitting kapok. She felt that these two people were not well-intentioned.
Kapok couldn't sit still, so she got up and walked to the queen's side, in case the two villains did something bad for the queen.
When the imperial concubine saw the three princesses coming over, her eyes flashed with resentment. The third princess looked so weak, she shouldn't have ruined her plan.
"Sister Queen, this is something in the palace that stumbled on her legs. came so late, if it weren't for the queen's sister, the banquet would have been held long ago. The imperial concubine complained, trying to divert the queen's attention.
At this moment, Xu Zhaoyi was very cooperative, she deliberately bumped into a noble girl in front of her, and the noble girl fell forward without warning, and she was about to hit the queen.
Fortunately, Kapok was on guard and pulled the queen away as soon as possible.
The noble girl's chubby body slammed into the back of a concubine. The concubine was smashed by this sudden catastrophe, and her eyes were full of stars. Fall to the ground.
The queen was a little afraid, this noble girl was fat and heavy, if Mianmian hadn't pulled her away. She was the one who fell to the ground.
But she's more than two months pregnant! Originally, the fetal position was unstable in the first three months, and it was easy to slip tires. If she falls like this, she will not be able to save the baby in her belly.
The queen was panicked, so she quickly stayed away from these noble girls and stood beside Mianmian, feeling a little safer.
The queen didn't mean to blame when this was an accident, after all, it was another concubine who fell in the end. There was nothing wrong with her.
"Mianmian, thanks to you for pulling this palace away, otherwise this palace won't dare to think about the consequences." The queen looked at Kapok gratefully.
"It's okay if the imperial sister-in-law is fine. The imperial sister-in-law had better be careful, I also saw the imperial concubine and Xu Zhaoyi secretly poking and poking and making small moves. After that, I saw Xu Zhaoyi deliberately hit the body of the noble girl in front of me, resulting in a fall incident in the back. Kapok pulled the queen to a place where no one was there and reminded in a whisper.
When the queen heard this, she became alert. In this way, the imperial concubine wanted to cause her to have an abortion.
The imperial concubine must have known that she was pregnant, and Xu Zhaoyi was originally promoted by the concubine, so she used Xu Zhaoyi to murder her.
The queen's expression was cold when she thought of this, but she had no evidence for this, so it was difficult for her to ask.
The imperial concubine looked disappointed when she saw that she had not harmed the queen and had a miscarriage. I hate the three princesses for meddling in their hearts.
If it weren't for the three princesses pulling the queen away, it would be the queen who fell to the ground.
