Concubine's poisonous plot

On the road from Prince An's Mansion to the Imperial Palace, Concubine Tian was sitting on the carriage, as if she was walking her own path to the Jin Dynasty.

She was not in the mood to look at the scenery outside. Anyway, her identity would be different in the future, so she would have plenty of opportunities to look at it.

In the future, when she goes out to parties, she will no longer have to carry on her identity as the only concubine and have to talk to others.

Along the way, she couldn't control her excitement, and her hands were even trembling.

In the palace, the Queen Mother and Queen Wei also dressed up carefully. Today is a very important festival for them in Great Xia.

Although there is also a palace banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the ministers and their families are not summoned. Instead, they are allowed to enjoy the moon at their own homes, and each family is given some rewards.

The Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet is a rule set by the ancestors. The civil and military officials of the dynasty gathered together, and anyone with honor in the family could be brought into the palace.

Therefore, security on this day is the real top priority.

If someone takes this opportunity to defile the palace, it will be a serious crime.

There were many carriages parked at the entrance of the palace. After Concubine Tian got off the carriage, she was surrounded by people.

These people come and go frequently on weekdays, and they all know the situation in Prince An's Mansion.

"Sister Tian is here, and we have just arrived."

"Looking at my sister's complexion today, she looks particularly good. There must be some happy event, right?"

These ladies are used to reading people's faces, and they can guess some clues from Concubine Tian's unconcealed excitement.

Concubine Tian symbolically greeted Cui Concubine who had just gotten out of the car: "Sister, let's go in together..."

Concubine Cui declined politely: "Sister, please go in with the ladies first. I want to wait for my sister-in-law..."

When the other ladies heard this, they thought of the wife of Cui Shi, the newly appointed Minister of War.

They were a little excited, and they all knew that this person was a new rich man, and if they wanted to make friends with him on weekdays, they couldn't find the right way.

Since we have this opportunity today, we should certainly seize it.

A lady said: "Is this Mrs. Cui? We happen to be in no hurry, so why don't we all wait together? It will look lively if we go in together."

"That's right, we women in the back house don't get to see too many close friends on weekdays. Since today is a palace banquet, it's fate to be able to see the wives of various families."

Concubine Tian was a little unhappy. How could she not know that these people were just following the trend?

He is just a minister of the Ministry of War, and the ancestors of the Cui family do not have a strong background. If he swoops on him like a fly, how much benefit can he get.

Moreover, they want to be the princess. When the time comes, Concubine Cui will find it difficult to get ahead, so they will make friends with Concubine Cui. Aren't they just looking for fun?

A few ladies did not move, and they naturally understood this.

After all, with these promotions and demotions in the imperial court, no one can say which one will come first and which family's turn it will be.

But they were also smart and didn't say unnecessary words, let alone concubine Cui.

Now that Cui Shi is so popular, there is no need to offend the Cui family in order to please Concubine Tian.

Not long after, the Cui family's carriage arrived.

The population of their family is relatively simple. Cui Shi did not come with any concubines, only Mrs. Cui and his legitimate son and daughter.

Concubine Cui hurried over and greeted them warmly. Mrs. Cui Shen was already over forty this year. She also practiced martial arts back then, so she was a bit more heroic than the average housewife.

"Aunt..." The two children of the Cui family hurried over to say hello.

Concubine Cui looked at them lovingly, as if she saw Xiao Changfeng through them.

"Mrs. Cui, Concubine Cui has been refusing to go in since she got here. She said she wanted to wait for you."

Someone has already come over to say hello, wanting to take the opportunity to get close to Shen.

The Shen family is not in Kyoto, but they still have a certain influence.

Both men and women in the Shen family advocate martial arts. The men are handsome and handsome, while the women are equally shy. The family tradition is strong and all children with bad morals will be kicked out of the house. Therefore, both men and women in the Shen family have a difficult time marrying and dating among the upper class in Daxia. In terms of choices, they are all the objects of competition for others.

Mrs. Shen looked grand, hugged Concubine Cui and said, "My sister-in-law has always been like this. She has always liked to stick to me as my sister-in-law before she got married. We don't have many opportunities to meet each other on weekdays. We rarely get together. I understand how my sister-in-law feels."

There is nothing pretentious about this answer, but it makes people envious of the sister-in-law relationship between them.

Just as she finished speaking, the Tian family also arrived.

After Tian Dekun and Mrs. Tian got off the carriage, they found that the Cui family was also there, and they got together at that time. They were a little embarrassed at first.

After all, the position of minister that Tian Dekun wanted so much was cut off by Cui Shi.

But Concubine Tian had already walked over with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why did you come here? I thought you had arrived early, so I thought about going in to find you, but I never thought that you would lag behind me."

This enthusiasm made Mrs. Tian stunned.

But she took a look at Cui Concubine and Shen next to her, and she probably understood.

She said very cooperatively: "It's not my sister-in-law's fault for asking my sister-in-law to wait, but today it's your niece's fault. It was she who said she wanted to see my aunt today, as well as the ladies from various houses, and the nobles in the palace might also I noticed her and couldn't embarrass the Tian family, so I kept tinkering there and wasted time."

Tian Dekun's daughter Tian Shiyan walked over gracefully and saluted everyone.

"I've met my aunt, I've met all the ladies..."

The ladies understood in their hearts that Concubine Tian did not want to fall into a disadvantage and wanted to compete for everything.

On the Cui family's side, the Shen family's two children, Cui Lang and Cui Ling, disdained these methods and only talked about old times with Concubine Cui, and even mentioned Xiao Changfeng, who was far away at the border.

It's just that at the palace gate, two concubines in the same palace have caused such an open and secret fight. What's more, all the officials are coming with their families today. You can imagine how many exciting stories of intrigue will happen here.

Someone mentioned Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao, why didn't they come with them?

Xiao Luofan answered helpfully: "My brother has not fully recovered yet, and my sister-in-law is quite busy on weekdays. When we left, the yard didn't seem to have been built yet."

With this answer, the shrewd ladies have already shut their mouths. They don't want to be used as a weapon. If anyone wants to say bad things about the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess behind their backs, then go ahead and say it. They don't want to get involved.

A few ladies who couldn't help it had already spoken: "This is too outrageous. The elders go first, and they are still in their dreams? If this spreads out, wouldn't it make people laugh?"

"That is, how can one become an example to the world if he has no rules?"

"This concubine is born as a concubine, but she has no rules."

As they talked, they concluded it was Shu Yunzhao's origin.

At this time, the Su family and the Wang family arrived together, and the ladies seemed to have thought of something.

"The Wang family has returned to Beijing. Lord Wang immediately appointed him as the Minister of Rites and welcomed the Northern Jin envoys with King An. This is also a sign of the Emperor's trust and attention."

"Of course, Mrs. Wang was the late emperor's teacher back then, so the emperor naturally trusted the Wang family."

Someone asked in a low voice, as if watching a play: "The Wang family is back, will the thorny Crown Princess still be so effective in front of the emperor?"
