General Raiders

Come here and let him enter the palace for a banquet again.I just heard that the imperial concubine is a low-key person and never celebrated in a big way in the past, why is it different now?

Muzi smiled ambiguously and said, "You will know when you come."

How dare Yunxi refuse to obey the emperor's order.Since it was the imperial concubine's birthday banquet, extra congratulatory gifts had to be prepared.Lan Xuan got married, she was in a good mood, and she became more and more efficient in handling things. She quickly drew up the gift list and handed it to Yun Xi for review. Yun Xi glanced at her and said, "Remove the medicinal materials and gold and silver ornaments, and replace them with antiques. .”

Princess Rong'an treats people well, and Yun Xi has seen many of them since she was a child, so she knows some tricks.It is not wise to send medicinal materials in the palace, and there is no shortage of good medicinal materials in the hospital.As for the gold and silver accessories, Xu's age is a bit frivolous.Yun Xi had some impressions of this imperial concubine, and asked Li Chengfeng again, and sure enough, he remembered correctly that one of Xu's hobbies was to appreciate antiques.As the saying goes, it is better to give away expensive things than to give them what you like, so it is better to give antiques.

Lan Xuan added and changed according to Yunxi's wishes, and prepared the ceremony.On the day of the imperial concubine's birthday, Yunxi entered the palace on time, and Li Chengfeng waited in front of the palace gate in person. Along the way, the officials and relatives he met were all extremely eager.

Yun Xi wondered, could there really be other things to do this trip?

After entering the Xuande Palace, he noticed that today it is obvious that Concubine Xu Huanggui is the protagonist, but Concubine Zhou is at the king's side in full dress, radiant and radiant, while the seventh prince Mu Chengpei, who was supposed to reflect in Yongshou Palace, sat majestically in Mu Ziyue. In my arms, this scene of loving fathers and filial sons is somehow quite contrary to harmony.

Chapter 8: Confrontation

Yunxi glanced at Mrs. Xu who was sitting quietly. Although this one has been promoted to the imperial concubine, it is said that she is all about her seniority. Mu Ziyue respects her far more than she loves her. People are the opponents of Concubine Zhou?Only a few days later, the Seventh Prince regained his favor.

Fortunately, Concubine Xu Huang is open-minded. At the birthday banquet, facing Concubine Zhou, who was so courteous to the emperor, she did not show the slightest dissatisfaction. Not only that, she also greeted her with a smile and toasted frequently throughout the whole process. The other concubines saw today's birthday protagonist Even so, there is nothing to say, the left and right are peaceful.

Prince Mu Chenghong sat on Mu Ziyue's right hand as usual, and he was always good at following Mu Ziyue's heart. The seventh prince Mu Chengpei was close, and Mu Chenghong would help him with fruit cakes from time to time to tease Mu Ziyue. Cheng Pei is happy, and Mu Chengpei is also willing to get close to him.

The more Muzi looked at the crown prince and the seventh prince, his eyes became softer, he couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "As expected of my son, this is brother and brother respect."

When Yun Xi heard this sentence when he first arrived, it immediately reminded him of the sixth prince who had been ignored by others, and he stood speechless for a while.Mu Ziyue smiled and called him: "What are you still doing, come and sit down."

Coincidentally, at the table that Mu Ziyue was pointing at, the most conspicuous vacant seat was at the side of Concubine Zhou.

Mu Ziyue said: "Yunxi, you are my nephew, you are a family member, so don't be rigid."

Yun Xi understood, it seemed that the emperor was very aware that he had an enmity with Concubine Zhou, and wanted to take the opportunity to make peace.Before the two princes in the Imperial Garden were fighting, Yun Xi had a bit of disdain for Concubine Zhou Gui.The sixth prince has a handicap and cannot compete with it at all, but Concubine Zhou blindly begged the emperor to punish him severely.If Yunxi hadn't stood up to speak for the sixth prince, the emperor's previous punishment on the sixth prince would have come into effect.Even if it was later found out that the Seventh Prince had lied, the emperor only lightly asked him to stay in the Yongshou Palace to reflect, and the comparison is even more chilling.

However, even so, Yun Xi still believed that Mu Zi Yue had good intentions, after all, his discord with Concubine Zhou had little to do with the emperor.As for Concubine Zhou herself, how long has it been since she really has no grievances, or does she have other plans?

Just sit down and be wary of the other party.Yun Xi walked over slowly, constantly speculating about various possibilities in her heart.Suddenly someone beside him lightly touched the corner of his clothes, Yun Xi naturally turned her head away, and saw the sixth prince Mu Chengze sitting in a seat near him, pointing to an empty chair beside him, longing to looking at him.

Because Mu Chengze was only five years old and short in stature, Yun Xi didn't notice immediately that the sixth prince also attended the birthday banquet of Concubine Xu Huanggui.This time he was still wearing old clothes, but he kept them clean. Although he was still thin, he was in good spirits.

After thinking about it for a while, Yunxi understood that Empress Xiaoyi passed away many years ago, and Mu Ziyue claimed to have a deep affection with her husband and wife, and has never established a queen.The Xu family is currently the highest among the emperor's concubines. The imperial concubine is like a deputy queen, so she is naturally qualified to accept congratulations from all the princes and daughters at the birthday banquet, so the sixth prince was also present.And judging from the way he stood up and greeted Yunxi without hesitation, the sixth prince was a little familiar with Yunxi, and he had gained a little courage.

With a thought in his mind, Yun Xi smiled knowingly in the direction of the emperor, then turned to the sixth prince, leaned over and touched the top of his jet-black hair.Mu Chengze was overjoyed, he hurriedly used his sleeves to pad his hands, and rubbed the chair vigorously.

Yun Xi knew that he was flattering herself, so she held down that hand, regardless of whether Mu Chengze could hear her, she lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness Sixth, you are a prince, so you don't have to."

Mu Chengze raised his face in confusion, Yun Xi was already sitting beside him in a blink of an eye, Mu Chengze also felt relieved, and sat upright meticulously.Going further, Chen Guiren rubbed the handkerchief in his hand, picked up the wine cup, and put it down again.

Yun Xi smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the invitation."

Since Mu Ziyue didn't specify where he would sit, finding an empty seat nearby is not considered a decree.

"..."

Concubine Zhou Gui and Mu Ziyue looked at each other, both were speechless.Mu Ziyue wanted to make peace between Concubine Zhou and Concubine Yun Xi, the seat next to Concubine Zhou was originally reserved for Yun Xi, but he did not say it clearly, after all, the feud between An Lehou and Concubine Zhou cannot be made public.Unexpectedly, it was only a little bit short, Yunxi was intercepted by the sixth prince halfway, and the sixth prince couldn't hear his ears, and didn't look at his father. He didn't know how upset Mu Ziyue was at the moment. but can't get mad

At this time, Concubine Zhou Guifei did have other plans in mind.In front of her, the emperor expressed several times that he did not want her to have any grudges with An Lehou, so Concubine Zhou pushed the boat along and blamed the group of slaves of Yongshou Palace who had been executed, and actually hated her in her heart. Yun Xi hated it to death.Last time in the Royal Garden, it was the first time that she was slapped in the face in public like this, her son was punished, and many of her people were killed with sticks, all of this was caused by An Lehou.But hatred turns into hatred, she is also aware of Yunxi's status, Yunxi is the son of Princess Rong'an, although the eldest princess is adopted, the emperor has always regarded Yunxi as his own sister, and also attaches great importance to Yunxi, from the bravery of fighting in the battlefield to hold the military power General, up to An Lehou, who is now personally enshrined by the emperor, offending such a person is of no benefit to her.

The two princes under her knees are the third prince Mu Chengluo who has grown up and founded the mansion, and the seventh prince Mu Chengpei who is only five years old. The latter is deeply favored by the emperor and can help her secure his favor. As for the former, she will be the one for the rest of her life. rely on.Since the death of Empress Xiaoyi, the emperor has never been crowned empress. It is not that the Zhou family is not envious of the position of imperial concubine, but she still has higher expectations than this, such as the most honorable phoenix in the harem. Not bad.It's not that she is wishful thinking, Mu Chenghong is used to flattery, and he can become the prince only because of his status as the eldest son of Empress Xiaoyi, in terms of talent, learning and courage, how can he be compared with her Mu Chengluo?

In her eyes, Mu Chenghong would give way to Mu Chengluo one day sooner or later, and this time it was Mu Chengluo who personally came to persuade her not to offend An Lehou.Although An Lehou has never been involved in the dispute between princes, if they can win An Lehou over, they will be more confident in defeating Mu Chenghong.

Although Concubine Zhou didn't like Yunxi, she had to admit that Yunxi held a high position in the army, and his presence would be a great help to Mu Chengluo.Therefore, taking advantage of this banquet to actively win over Yunxi is her ultimate goal, but Yunxi never takes her seriously, this time she slapped her in the face again in public, the emperor did not say so clearly, but who People can't tell, except for the sixth prince whose ears are not good...

That kid is usually dumbfounded, where did he come up with so many tricks, he must have been instructed by Chen Guiren to do it on purpose - that bitch!

Concubine Zhou cursed secretly in her heart, but for the sake of her third prince, she still smiled coquettishly and said to Mu Ziyue: "Marquis Anle can come, it is already very honorable for my concubine."

The busier Mu Zi was, he went down the steps, and said, "What Ai Fei said is true. Yun Xi has this temperament."

Concubine Xu's face froze when she heard the words, just for a moment, as if trying to cover up her gaffe, she grabbed the wine glass in front of her and drank it down in one gulp.

Yun Xi escaped Mu Ziyue's arrangement, and didn't bother to care about Concubine Zhou's expression, but the sixth prince beside him was more interesting, whenever he moved his chopsticks, he always looked at him eagerly.

Yun Xi thought about the look in the eyes of the sixth prince. The prince used to have a special servant serving the dishes. He glanced at it calmly, and saw that the small white jade bowl in front of Mu Chengze was full of vegetables, tofu and the like.Because the sixth prince was not favored, he sat sideways, and there were some dishes nearby that the emperor would never touch, and the sixth prince would not speak out to command the palace people, no wonder he stopped eating after only a little.

Yun Xi thought for a while, then signaled the palace servants beside her to add a lot of sweet and sour dishes that children liked into the small jade bowl, and piled the bowl high after a few strokes.Mu Chengze grinned silently, and tried his best to Yun Xi: "Thank you, thank you...Hou..."

I finally knew that I should call him Lord Hou.

Yun Xi also understands the Six Emperors
