"She agreed?" Huo Jiheng didn't expect it.

Li Qing said happily: "Yes, Your Majesty, this eldest princess is very refreshing, but it is not as difficult to speak as before." ”

Huo Jiheng was slightly relieved.

"Where is King Guryeo?" Nalan was on the side and replied: "Go back to the emperor, I will be in the capital tomorrow." ”

For Juli, Huo Jiheng didn't worry too much, after all, it was a vassal country, only he had no dissent, and everything else was easy to say.

"Then arrange the reception banquet on the same day, and invite the eldest princess of Beiling and King Guryeo together at that time, and there will be no gossip!" Huo Jiheng thought too much.

Nalan said: "Yes, Weichen will report to Prince Yu in a while. ”

Suddenly, Huo Jiheng remembered something, and said: "By the way, when the time comes, arrange for the concubines to go, and Pei Lin will also go!" ”

In the end, it is the eldest son, and the biological mother is a person from Juli, so it is a favor.

"Yes."

In the harem, the news about the Longevity Festival has been rumored.

Gyeongin Palace.

"A few days ago, when this palace talked about this, you still think it's unfounded, but this time, everything has come true." Concubine De had an unhappy look on her face, and she had a headache when she thought of the upcoming banquet.

The queen didn't expect Beiling to send the eldest princess as an envoy, what is the matter......

"Talking about it, this is also unexpected, since ancient times, women have three virtues and four virtues, and they do not show their heads to respect, and the eldest princess of Beiling actually came to Dajin as an envoy in person, and she is not afraid of the jokes of the world!" Suo Yaoyi advocates women's self-improvement and self-reliance, but the words and deeds of the eldest princess Xiao Songxi are too staggering.

Concubine De rarely agreed with the queen's opinion, and teased: "You're right, this eldest princess of Beiling is not afraid of jokes, she is only afraid that she won't be in the limelight enough!" ”

Tong Zining looked at Sheng Yi's face, "Sister is quite quiet today. ”

One sentence successfully turned his attention to Sheng Yi.

"By the way, sister, this palace looks at you indifferently, but it seems that the sisters are not generous enough." Concubine De seemed to be joking.

Where did Sheng Yi dare to echo this, this is not looking for death, so he quickly sighed and replied: "The concubine thinks that she is soft-spoken, even if she is worried, it is in vain. ”

For a moment, Tong Zining had a feeling that she was looking for death, as if she was blocking her sister again......

Tong Zining, who has never believed in fate, gasped, and she decided to go back to Baohua Hall to make incense, which has been seriously reversed recently.

"Joke and joke, the emperor has already booked a banquet in the Windward Pavilion three days later, and when the time comes, the envoys of Beiling and Guli are here, you also need to dress up, don't lose your golden face." When the queen mentioned business, her complexion also looked much more dignified.

"Yes!" The concubines responded.

"Queen Mother, are you still going?" Just when everyone was thinking about the end of the invitation, Concubine De said coldly.

Sheng Yi's eyebrows moved, yo, Concubine De really asked carefully, but, to be honest, she was also curious!

I saw that the queen's face was slightly hesitant, "The emperor will decide this matter!" ”

Concubine De didn't care too much, stroked the pearl cui on her head, and said lazily: "Then the concubine will go and prepare first." ”

The queen nodded slightly, and looked at Concubine De's eyes with some complicated meanings.

Please leave the scene, Queen Suo Yaoyi is still in the main hall.

Ai Xiang has served the queen for many years, and naturally understands the queen's temperament, so she said softly: "Niangniang, you can drink some of the boiled ginseng soup." ”

The queen waved her hand and said in a deep tone, "Don't drink anymore." ”

Ai Xiang guessed: "Niangniang, do you think that Concubine De has overstepped?" ”

Power is extremely important to anyone in the harem, let alone the queen. Since Suo Yaoyi woke up from a serious illness, she has rarely participated in the governance of the harem, and most of it has been handed over to Chang Lan, the noble concubine. On the one hand, Changlan has the longest experience and knows more about all aspects of the harem, and on the other hand, it is for the balance of power.

Sheng Yi is already a favorite concubine, if Suo Yaoyi hands over the power of harem governance to Sheng Yi, I am afraid that not only the harem, but also the previous dynasty will feel that Sheng Yi is too powerful, once the limelight is exhausted, it will become a thorn in the side of others, a thorn in the flesh, for Sheng Yi, it is not a good thing.

Moreover, the emperor has seized the power of the Chang family, so he naturally has to make up for it in other things, otherwise, the big tree of the Chang family will be completely lost.

Obviously, Huo Jiheng in front of him was not strong enough to reach this point, and he still had to use the Chang family.

Because of this, it is justified that the power of the assistant six palaces will be distributed to Concubine De.

But as Suo Yaoyi gradually let go, Chang Lan's ambition gradually expanded, she no longer invited the queen for everything, and even began to have her own way of doing things.

This made Suo Yaoyi feel in crisis, and if it went on like this, this palace would become the harem of the Chang family.

Just like what Chang Lan asked her just now, she Chang Lan only needs to do what has been arranged, as for those who have not been notified, then they should be treated as if they don't know, and if they have to ask, they can only make Suo Yaoyi wary of her.

"Perhaps, Concubine De just asked casually, are you too worried?" Ai Xiang gently beat the queen's leg and said easily.

The queen moved her legs slightly, and Ai Xiang understood, and gently got up and helped the queen down.

"If the Suo family is still the same as before, the palace doesn't have to be so stubborn, but now the Suo family, the queen mother is imprisoned, and the main backbone Suo Sanye is robbed of the house and asked, how can the rest of the Suo family be able to stand up to the matter? If this palace does not take precautions and continue some strength for the Suo family, I am afraid that if I don't wait for this palace to die, I will see that the Suo family is like a dog in mourning, and everyone will sigh. Suo Yaoyi said quietly.

Ai Xiang couldn't help but feel sorry for the queen in her heart, she was once such a delicate and transparent person, so she wanted to break free from Suo's and be her own woman, but now she has become a standard noble woman - born to be a family honor.

Thinking about it like this, Ai Xiang's whole person was a little depressed.

"What's wrong?" The queen quickly noticed Ai Xiang's emotions and asked.

Ai Xiang forced a smile, "The slave just thinks that the mother is not as comfortable as before......"

Suo Yaoyi smiled slightly, "Comfortable? How could Hongu have really been at ease? In the past, I always wanted to get rid of the shackles and be myself again, mainly because there was a powerful mother's family at that time, and I didn't even make much noise under the knees of this palace, but now it's different, and the only person the Suo family can rely on is this palace, if this palace continues to be willful, it is not to be yourself, but to let the Suo family accompany the funeral. ”

Thinking about the conversation between me and Sheng Yi before, it was really like a dream, so unreal......

However, this dream is also really tempting.

Suo Yaoyi looked at the brilliant flowers blooming in Jingren Palace, and said leisurely: "Dream, it's time to wake up......"
