The palace concubines were neat and orderly, and Zhu Jiu led them to salute.

If she said that she had a dislike for Xuanyuan Che in her heart before, even if she became a queen, it was just to keep Gao Xinguo.

Now, as her rights in the Xuanyuan Kingdom are getting higher and higher, and letting the Cinnabar Building open up the trade between the Gaoxin Kingdom, and there are Zhu Tai'an's people secretly circling in the middle, if the Xuanyuan Kingdom does something to the Gaoxin Kingdom now, their own economy will be damaged.

If something goes wrong in the economy of a big country, war will break out sooner or later.

It is not in vain that Zhu Jiu has worked hard in Xuanyuan Country for half a year.

Therefore, it is still necessary to do enough to save face.

"Concubines see Your Majesty."

"Concubines, see Your Majesty!"

Zhu Jiu spoke first, and the palace concubines behind him dared to speak again.

Unlike her flat voice, the voices of these palace concubines were full of joy.

As if she had really seen her husband, even He Hongying couldn't help but show her white neck and beautiful face at this time, showing her most beautiful side in front of Xuanyuan Che, and striving to arouse Xuanyuan Che's pity.

Xuanyuan Che was long and jade, wearing a dark purple silver-rimmed court robe, and a crown of hanging beads on his head, obviously just returning from the court.

He helped Zhu Jiu up, "No need to be polite," and then raised his hand to everyone: "All are flat."

Those who are attentive notice that his tone towards the queen is completely different from that of these concubines.

It's just that Xuanyuan Che usually has this cold face, so everyone doesn't feel anything, but because His Majesty rarely talked to them, they were very happy, and they all got up and stood up obediently and retreated to their seats.

Zhu Jiu sat on the main seat, and Xuanyuan Che naturally sat down beside her and peeled grapes for her.

Because of Xuanyuan Che's arrival, the atmosphere was not as lively as just now.

Zhu Jiu then spoke: "The sisters are all performing talents, I look very good, do you want Your Majesty to take a look?"

The girls who were not appreciated by His Majesty before regret it very much.

And the concubines, who had not had time to perform at the back, were very grateful to Zhu Jiu and looked at Xuanyuan Che expectantly.

He is a rare beautiful man in the world, with fair skin and when he is not smiling, his body is filled with the breath of kaolin flowers, which can only be watched from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.

Hearing Zhu Jiu say that he was interested, he immediately smiled, and also looked at the concubines below, and bowed slightly: "In this case, let's continue to perform."

"Those who excel will be rewarded."

Your Majesty's Reward!

This reward is different from Concubine He's reward, and now, even He Hongying is excited.

Zhang Meiren, who had been silent, also stood up at this moment and asked the palace maid in charge of the musical instrument for a pipa.

But after Xuanyuan Che finished speaking, regardless of the interest of the concubines below, he gently approached Zhu Jiu and looked at her ambiguously: "What about you? Ninety-nine, what are you performing?"

"You want to see me perform? It's up to you to see what you can give."

Zhu Jiu didn't refute his face, but laughed very cooperatively.

She is already good-looking, and her bright phoenix eyes are like the sun in the sky, noble and elegant.

Xuanyuan Che's eyebrows softened a lot, and he gently squeezed her hand and pressed it, "Gao Xinguo's commercial tax reduction is one percent."

For Zhu Jiu, she can't treat her like other women, she is not interested in these mundane things, but once it comes to the things she protects in her heart, even if this reward is worthless in the eyes of others, it is also excellent for Zhu Jiu.

Sure enough, it was Xuanyuan Che who understood her best.

A hint of joy appeared in Zhu Jiu's eyes, but he also looked at him unabashedly, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "One percent is not enough, two percent."

She also stretched out her hand and made a "two" gesture, which was very interesting in her non-negotiable appearance.

Xuanyuan Che looked at her with some grievances: "Twenty percent of the commercial tax is equivalent to about two million taels of gold."

"Does Your Majesty think I'm not worth the price, so I can laugh at you?"

Zhu Jiu asked him rhetorically.

Anyway, it's not a topic she brought up, so it's okay to take it out casually and make fun of Xuanyuan Che at this time.

Seeing the pleasure in her eyes, Xuanyuan Che stared at her quietly for a moment before sighing helplessly, "Okay, two percent."

"Hmm."

Zhu Jiu didn't speak anymore, and sat on the wide and gorgeous phoenix chair with him, watching the talent show of the girls below.

Occasionally, Zhu Jiu would praise the concubine who was indeed excellent, and silently asked Hanmei to send the prepared reward down.

Even if the performance is not good, there are some small rewards to show encouragement.

Originally, the concubines who came to participate in her palace banquet came under the banner of friendship with Zhu Jiu, and they were all ready to do their best to please Zhu Jiu, but they didn't expect the queen to be so considerate and arrange them properly at the palace banquet, and they didn't need to worry about anything at all.

He Hongying almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand, why were these two so close in front of her?

I knew that Xuanyuan Che liked Zhu Jiu so much, when she was a secret guard by Xuanyuan Che's side, she should have killed Zhu Jiu directly!

She regretted that she had not done it at the beginning.

At this moment, there was a pleasant sound of pipa in the field.

The sound of the pipa sounded in the ears, like the fairy sound in the sky falling into the world, and the flower hall, which was still a little lively, suddenly quieted down, and everyone couldn't help but be attracted by the figure sitting in the begonia flower cluster in the flower hall.

Zhu Jiu also looked over there, feeling a hint of familiarity from the sound of the piano.

She seems to have heard such a piano sound somewhere, but after too long, she can't remember it.

Seeing that Zhu Jiu was also looking at it seriously, Xuanyuan Che couldn't help but glance at her, "Like her pipa?"

Then he beckoned to Wei Changshou and asked who the woman was wearing a sleeveless raw woven collar and a pink green canopy eye needle satin long dress.

Wei Changshou only glanced at it, then lowered his head, and said silently: "Back to Your Majesty, that's Zhang Meiren, I heard that she has been getting close to Concubine He recently."

Get close to Concubine He......

It doesn't matter, as long as you like it, then you will be rewarded.

Zhu Jiu came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, "No, I just feel that I have heard this pipa somewhere, and I can't remember it for a while."

Xuanyuan Che said, "In that case, then ask her to come forward and ask."

Everyone's interest is just right, they are all immersed in Zhang Meiren's pipa sound, her pipa sound is indeed a rare stunning heavenly sound even in the Beijing Central Pavilion, and it is refreshing to hear.

After she finished the song, Wei Changshou sent someone to announce her.

Knowing that she could meet the saint, Zhang Meiren's cheeks were slightly red, and she timidly glanced in the direction of Xuanyuan Che, the little daughter's shyness was just right, and she was a completely different type from Zhu Jiu.

She stepped forward and saluted the two: "Concubine Zhang Wan, see Your Majesty, Queen Mother."

"Zhang Wan...... Good name, where did you learn your lute?"

Xuanyuan Che looked at her and asked.

His eyes are very deep and exceptionally handsome, even if he looks at people without emotion, he seems to have affection.

Zhang Meiren was shy and timid, and her long eyelashes like wings drooped slightly: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine learned from her sister."
