Chapter 76
The important festivals of the royal family have always been negotiated and handled by the queen, concubine Hui and concubine Shu, and this year is no exception.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gong Que asked Yu Ling to ask the queen if she had prepared properly for the festival banquet.

Originally, such a routine questioning should have been done by Wang De, the eunuch next to the emperor, even if the emperor did not go in person, but Gong Que sent Yu Ling.

From this aspect, it is not difficult to see the status of "Ling Yu" in Gong Que's mind.

When Yu Ling walked into Jinchen Palace, she clearly felt that there was an extremely depressing atmosphere here.

According to what Ah Xue said, Empress Shu Yadie was born in a famous family, belonging to the empress dowager's line. With her good family background and conduct, her position in the harem is very stable.

Except for the fact that she saw more and more concubines in the harem at the beginning, and was saddened by it, she never did more things that did not fit her status as a queen.

And the pain didn't last long.

On a certain day, Shu Yadie seemed to suddenly look away.

After that, she became more and more calm in the position of queen.

It's just that as long as there is a loving woman in this world, it's impossible to see that her husband dotes on her and doesn't mind.

So it's not that Shu Yadie looked away, it's just that she lost all her affection.

In Nuo Da's harem, there are a few of these high-ranking concubines who can give without asking for anything in return, and put all their sincerity and enthusiasm on Gong Que.

Yu Ling stood in front of the queen.

This woman, who was still very beautiful in her twenties, was already much older in her mentality and behavior.

"Go back and tell the emperor that all the palace has been settled."

The queen sat on the chair and slowly took a sip of the tea handed over by the eldest maid Fangzhu beside her.

Then put it on the table, and after saying this sentence, he took a straight look at Yu Ling.

"Yes, servants take orders."

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can go back. The concubine of the harem will come to pay my respects to the palace in a while."

"The slaves retire."

Yu Ling backed away slowly.

Seeing the back of her walking out, Fang Zhu beside her was a little annoyed.

"Empress, why did the emperor send her here to ask about the Mid-Autumn Festival feast?"

This is clearly a slap in the face of the empress.

"Fang Zhu, go prepare some tea for a while."

It's just that facing Fang Zhu's displeasure, the queen obviously didn't want her to continue talking.

"Yes, the servant will go here."

Knowing her master's character, if she talked too much, the empress might be upset too, so Fang Zhu bowed and retreated.

In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet arrived.

Since it was a family banquet, all the concubines, big and small, showed up in the harem except those below the rank of servants who were not eligible to attend.

These people showed off their beautiful clothes in order to pray that the emperor would notice them at the banquet tonight.

Especially those young people who just entered the palace, they can't wait to wear all the things that can attract attention.

When Gong Que and Shu Yadie, the two most honorable empresses in the world, came hand in hand, the noisy scene fell silent instantly.

Just seeing Shu Yadie beside Gong Que, the eyes of some young concubines could not help showing jealousy.

This made the other "old" concubines who noticed disdain.

However, some women who haven't made a name for themselves in the harem, don't know how high the heavens are, and are jealous of the mother of the country.

Which harem concubine has no ambitions?
It's just that they don't want to see whether Shu Yadie's status as a queen has been shaken since she married into the palace.

No matter how displeased the emperor is, he still has the respect she deserves.

People can be jealous, but they must also know how to measure.

If the eyelids are too shallow, there will be no life in this harem that cannibalize people without spit out bones.

And Tao Yun, the raider below, after the emperor and empress sat down, quietly raised his eyes to look at the handsome emperor on the table from an angle that no one else could see.

But her sight was quickly caught by Gong Que.

Originally, on such an occasion, it was an extremely presumptuous act for the concubine to look directly at the emperor.

If the emperor really wants to investigate, the consequences will never be light.

It's just that Gong Que looked at Tao Yun when he found her gaze, and instantly became shy, and even glanced at other places in a panic, and his exposed ears were dyed a red-like color, and he couldn't help feeling that the other party was cute.

Therefore, he unconsciously showed a smile, and then asked Wang De to send the chestnut cake in front of him to Tao Yun.

"I remember that Tao Liangyi has always been a glutton. I'm afraid one plate of chestnut cakes is not enough. Wang De, please bring me this plate as well."

"According to the order."

In a family banquet where many concubines gathered, the emperor could actually make the emperor think about what kind of pastry he liked to eat and whether he was full. I was secretly thinking that Tao Liangyi was really a good trick.

Among them, Li Rongji, who had lost both her child and the emperor's favor, couldn't help feeling extremely jealous when she saw Tao Yun lowering her head in embarrassment amidst the teasing laughter.

Why did she lose the emperor's favor even after her child was gone, the culprit could still get such favor.

It's not fair!It's so unfair!

At this time, Li Yongji, who had been swallowed by the flames of jealousy, had obviously forgotten that everything was her own fault.

When a person can't find the source of the existing predicament and refuses to find the cause in himself, he often pushes the fault to other people.

At this moment, she looked at Tao Yun, cursing in her heart.

This damn bitch, I don't know what she said to the emperor, so that the emperor refused to even see her.

The servants in the palace have always pushed the high and trampled the low, and she has suffered a lot during this time.

Now that Tao Yun openly hooked up with the emperor at the banquet again, it's really shameless.

Such jealous and resentful eyes are too eye-catching.

In the eyes of other concubines who had already seen through the palace, Li Rongji's undisguised expression at the moment was like a funny clown.

And at the same banquet, Yu Ling who was standing behind Gong Que naturally also noticed Li Rongji's gaze.

During the eight years of working in the village, there were many disasters, not only the outbreak of mountain torrents, but also greater natural disasters. At that time, the farmers had no harvest, and there were people fleeing everywhere.

Calculating the time, it will be almost after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although Gong Que agreed to the old emperor's request in his dream, once people have been at ease for a long time, they will lose their awe.

So it's okay to add a little more chips.

So those deep eyes slowly moved away after glancing at Li Rongji.

Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Li Rongji tricked Gong Que into the bedroom by tricking her.

The two had a spring night.

Not long after, a plague of locusts occurred in Xiangque City.

The first large-scale locust disaster in history dates back to 100 years ago. At that time, because the reigning emperor issued a death order, the locusts were quickly and effectively suppressed.

Unexpectedly, locusts are now back with a vengeance.

When hearing the news, Gong Que even frowned tightly.

In addition to the sudden appearance of the locust plague, there is another reason for his headache, that is, there should not be locusts in this season.

But it not only appeared, but also in pieces.

 The Locust shouldn't show up in this season just for plot setup.
