Chapter 24: Hosting the Feast

"It seems that Sister Ying doesn't plan to give face to this palace."

The kneeling concubine couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and in the face of the concubine's coercion, she was a little scared.

But no matter how scared he was, he had to refuse, so he clutched the handkerchief in his hand and continued to speak.

"Niangniang misunderstood the concubine, how dare the concubine disrespect the concubine, it is really not good, I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of the concubine, then it is the concubine's sin."

Lacking in skills?

She dared to use this as an excuse.

Her father is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he has been exposed to these rules since he was a child, so how can he even shirk holding a banquet like this.

There must be a reason behind it.

Thinking of this, Lin Guifei changed her aggressive attitude, turned into a spring breeze and drizzle, and continued.

"This palace is joking with my sister, since this banquet and concubine's sister can't do it, then ......"

His eyes swept over the rest of the palace concubines below, some were eager to try, some were deliberately avoiding, and of course, some were curious.

"Let Ye Guiren and Du Chang discuss it, both of you are old men who have served Your Majesty for many years, and you are familiar with many rules, especially Ye Guiren, this palace remembers that before you served Your Majesty, you were originally a member of the Inner Court Division, presumably the banquet has been done a lot, you must be decent and thoughtful, you know?"

This tone is no longer a consultation, but a direct order.

Du Chang was naturally overjoyed, and sure enough, the idea of choosing to cling to Lin Guifei was correct.

If she can get the emperor's attention again with this matter, she can live a more comfortable life in the harem.

So he got up and thanked Lin Guifei sincerely.

"Don't worry, the concubine must be careful, and she will never embarrass her mother."

As soon as she said this, Ye Guiren didn't even have a way to refuse, so he could only kneel down and thank him.

Lin Wanyi glanced at her more because of what happened just now, and saw that although she agreed happily, there was no excitement on her face.

I think it's also a person who can hide his thoughts.

I don't know why such a person would help him just now.

She was thinking about it here, but Mu Yuyao next to her looked at her and secretly gave her a thumbs up, and Lin Wanyi immediately understood that she was mistaken.

Mu Lanchun thought that Lin Guifei deliberately made her face.

After all, Chu Guiren, who had just offended her by making insulting remarks, had been grounded in disguise, and Ye Guiren, who had helped her, also hosted a feast, which was a helpful and flattering thing.

This performance is to let everyone know that Lin Wanyi cannot be easily offended.

Lin Wanyi was very worried about this.

What Mu Lan can understand, others naturally understand.

For her, there are many fewer threats, but in the face of such "kindness", what does Lin Guifei want from her?

used the future of the eldest brother as bait, and then cheered for himself.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like inviting you into the urn.

She saw through it, but she couldn't reply.

can only wait for Lin Guifei to show her hole cards, as for whether she can catch it, this is Lin Wanyi's ability.

Regarding the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Guifei explained a few more words.

On the grounds of reading family letters, Lin Wanyi was left.

Mu whispered a few words to her before agreeing to leave.

"Sister, come slowly, I'll go see Chunqi make green plum crisp first."

She is very leisurely, and when she looks at herself, she is really at a loss for the future.

Cheer up the spirit of twelve points to deal with Lin Guifei.

After everyone left, Qin He ordered all the palace people to wait outside, and only Lin Guifei and Lin Wanyi were left in the palace.

Lin Wanyi felt that this matter must be extraordinary.

Sure enough, Lin Guifei opened her mouth and shocked Lin Wanyi.

"Concubine Ying is four months pregnant, but no one in the harem knows about it."

Why does the concubine not report her pregnancy?

Seeing Lin Wanyi's doubts, Lin Guifei explained.

"She has been in the palace for so long to conceive a child, so she naturally has to be cautious. Presumably, she is already sitting firmly at the moment, just waiting for the right time to say it. ”

"That lady means ......"

"For the first time in the palace, there were two pregnant concubines, and their status was not low. If they give birth to Lin'er successfully, I am afraid that they will have to be promoted to another level. ”

One level higher!

Concubine Ying is a concubine, but it's okay, but Concubine Lan is promoted to the next level, is it possible that there will be two concubines in this palace?

This is something that has never happened in any dynasty.

It's no wonder that Concubine Lin reacted like this.

"Now, the palace is no longer going around in circles with you, when I was born Mingruo, the palace hurt my body, so I haven't seen any more pregnancy after so many years of recuperation, so why did you enter the palace, I must have guessed seven or eight points."

Lin Guifei went straight into it single-handedly, but she didn't hide it at all.

"Before the melon is ripe, it is difficult to say whether the child can stay, and even if it is born, it may not be able to be raised in the palace. The eldest prince and the second prince are examples. ”

Suddenly mentioning the two princes, Lin Wanyi became more and more frightened.

"The eldest prince was born to Queen Xu, and he was the eldest son of His Majesty's high hopes, but unfortunately he died of illness when he was about four years old, and the queen was so tired that she also collapsed and passed away after a year."

"The second prince was born to Concubine Su, and it took three days to give birth to him when he was born, not to mention the child's congenital deficiencies, even she died of hemorrhage, and the child became Concubine Lan's adopted son."

Lin Guifei said while looking at Lin Wanyi's face.

Sure enough, it's a little white.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but mention a mockery, after all, he just entered the palace, and he couldn't stand this idea.

But the words didn't stop.

"It's the third prince born to Concubine Yi, who is not only strong and healthy, but also talented, and looks at it all over the palace, he is a good one."

When it came to the words "I can get my hands on it", Lin Wanyi obviously felt Lin Guifei's gritted teeth.

It seems that the third prince is already a thorn in her side here.

If it weren't for Concubine Yi's tight care, I was afraid that many people in the harem would attack this healthy third prince.

"Now there are two more pregnant people, if they are both princes, then they are the fourth prince and the fifth prince, and the palace is much more lively."

As he spoke, he seemed to be thinking about something, and his eyes became distant.

Lin Wanyi listened quietly, these things were not the only ones she promised to interject at will, and besides, in the case that Lin Guifei did not clearly indicate what she wanted to say, it was better not to speculate wildly.

Hiding clumsiness can make her live more comfortably.

After a while, Concubine Lin eased up from her thoughts, and when she looked at Lin Wanyi again, she was a little more probing.

"Although you entered the palace late, the momentum in the palace is good, but it is better to have less of a situation like yesterday when you only accompany the driver but have no sleep."

was pointed out all of a sudden, Lin Wanyi pursed her lips and was embarrassed.
