play self pity? Acting weak? The concubine Jiaojiao went crazy

Imperial Palace, Fengyang Palace.

now.

A voice from outside the palace came in: The emperor has arrived!

The queen and all the concubines in the harem all stood up and saluted the emperor when he entered.

"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

Xuanyuan Che walked straight over, sat down on the main seat in the middle, and said calmly, "Everyone, get up."

The queen and concubines: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The maid on the side moved another chair over. The queen sat down next to the emperor, and then the other concubines sat down in their seats one after another.

After Wang Wanning sat down, she looked at the emperor beside her and said: "The first snow of winter fell yesterday. After one night, it was covered with white snow. The scenery of this first snow is very wonderful. It is also said that auspicious snow heralds a good year. The coming year will definitely be a good year and peace."

Xuanyuan Che said with a smile: "The Queen is right."

Wang Wan Ning's words were gentle and she agreed, and then said: "I have ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange the Chuxue Palace Banquet. Everything has been arranged in Xingqing Palace. Yesterday, I and Concubine Lan went to check everything. OK, the emperor can go now."

Xuanyuan Che looked at the queen, then looked at Concubine Lan, and said: "The queen is in charge of matters in the harem, and the concubine is in charge. I am very relieved."

Zheng Shiyao met the emperor's gaze, smiled, stood up, bowed, and said: "The emperor has ordered me to assist the empress and take care of the harem. I must do my best."

Wang Wanning frowned slightly and glanced at Zheng Shiyao. Although the emperor just said that she and Concubine Lan were mentioned together, how could she not be able to distinguish the importance of the tone? The Yang family had made trouble in the harem before. The curse of witchcraft still made the emperor have a grudge against her ability to manage the harem. Because of this matter, Concubine Lan was really proud of herself in front of her.

Xuanyuan Che said firmly and asked: "Queen, what did the Queen Mother say?"

Wang Wanning immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that I will not go there today and let my concubines and others serve the Emperor and enjoy himself."

Xuanyuan Che said "hmm".

When Wang Wan Ning saw that Concubine Lan was about to speak, she took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, there is also Concubine Chen. Because Concubine Chen is weak and afraid of the cold, Concubine Chen means that Concubine Chen should rest in Yuehua Palace. , so as not to catch the cold again after coming out, what do you say, Your Majesty, but do you want me to send someone to pick up Concubine Chen’s sister to go to Xingqing Palace for a banquet?”

Xuanyuan Che pretended to think, and after a moment, he said: "She has always lived in Nanxiang City. There is no snow in the winter in the south. The snow scene in Beijing is very wonderful. She has rarely seen it before. It snows first this winter. This is the first time she has returned to the capital after so many years." When it snows, send someone to ask her. If she is really weak, just ask her. If she wants to, I should invite her to share the reward."

Zheng Shiyao said jokingly with a bit of a squeeze: "What the emperor said is absolutely true, but you can't ask Concubine Chen. I thought the empress had sent someone to Yuehua Palace earlier."

Wang Wan Ning snorted coldly in her heart, and did not argue with Concubine Lan. She only said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it was my concubine who was negligent."

As she spoke, Wang Wanning immediately ordered her personal maid Lingqian to go to Yuehua Palace.

At the same time, Li Mo, who was accompanying the emperor, only shouted: "Show off to Xingqing Palace."

Then, the queen and all the concubines followed the emperor and came out of Fengyang Palace and headed to Xingqing Palace.

And here, inside the Yuehua Palace.

The Queen's personal maid, Lingqian, came over to see Concubine Chen and explained the matter to the sick Concubine Chen in front of her without any ambiguity.

Qin Shu deliberately covered her mouth, coughed weakly, and said softly, "This is rare. I guess Xingqing Palace is an excellent place to enjoy the snow in the palace."

Lingqian did not dare to be vague and answered truthfully, "Yes, Concubine Chen, are you going?"

Qin Shu thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Well, you go and wait outside. I will go with you after I change my clothes."

Lingqian looked at Concubine Chen's frail look and couldn't help but remind her: "Concubine Chen, it's still snowing outside and the wind is freezing. Concubine Chen has to wear warmer clothes when she wants to go out, but don't let the wind blow. The wind caught the cold."

Qin Shu went to the inner hall, changed her clothes, and asked Xinlian to get a felt cloak and tie it on. Xinyi also went to the stove and came over.

After coming out of Yuehua Palace, we took a sedan chair and headed to Xingqing Palace.

Xingqing Palace.

When Qin Shu arrived, Xuanyuan Che and the others had already arrived.

Naturally, Qin Shu also followed the etiquette and stepped forward to salute the emperor and the queen.

Xuanyuan Che's eyes were fixed on Qin Shu, a gentle smile flashed across his lips, and he quickly put it away and said to Qin Shu: "Take a seat."

Wang Wan Ning also took advantage of the situation and said: "Thank you for helping Concubine Chen to sit down, and then move a stove and place it next to Concubine Chen."

Before Qin Shu sat down, she bowed to the Queen and said, "Thank you, Queen."

After Qin Shu took her seat, she had to say that this Xingqing Palace was really specially built for snow viewing. Although she was sitting in this palace, she had a wide field of vision in front, back, left and right, and she could see the snowy scenery outside the palace.

However, when she came to this palace banquet today, she did not come for the snow scene. After all, there was still a good show to be performed. Then, Qin Shu turned her attention to Concubine Lan opposite.

Zheng Shiyao saw that the palace servants moved another stove and placed it next to Qin Shu, and said casually: "It is the empress who has the intention. Speaking of it, it is really rare for sister Chen Fei to come here today. Today is the first snow palace banquet, and all the sisters in the harem are here together." Now, I can accompany the emperor well, but my sister, Concubine Chen, still needs to pay more attention to her health."

When Qin Shu heard what Concubine Lan said, she simply followed her wishes, coughed a few times, and then said in her weak voice: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Concubine. I know."

Zheng Shiyao had a smile on her face and her eyes were locked on Qin Shu opposite her. Judging from Qin Shu's state, it would not take long for this matter to be settled. The previous accident caused by the Yang family in the harem has been solved. If the emperor is unhappy with the queen, once the concubine Chen is really dead, the queen will still be blamed. Even if the emperor does not abolish the queen, she can take advantage of the situation to control the harem.

Wang Wanning also looked at Qin Shu carefully. She hadn't seen Qin Shu for a while. She had previously told her to speed up the matter. Looking at Qin Shu's condition, she was indeed better than what she had seen before. She was three points weaker again, but Qin Shu was still able to come out of Yuehua Palace to attend the banquet today. This showed that her strength was not enough and she needed to work harder and speed up.

How could Qin Shu not notice the look in the eyes of the Queen and Concubine Lan on her? As for the thoughts involved in it, Qin Shu knew very well that she wanted to plot against her as a means of attacking each other. Just a dream.

During this palace banquet, she will make them understand what it means to shoot oneself in the foot.
