Empress and concubine

After the lotus feast, it was time to start preparing for Wen Yuan's birthday party. Since Wen Yuan's birthday was on the full moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were two kinds of family banquets and court banquets. Xia Yunjing wanted to take this opportunity to ask Wen Yuan to come out formally to meet He ordered to prepare a court banquet.

Needless to say, the family banquet was naturally the whole family in the palace, plus the close royal family, with the idea of ​​having fun together.The court banquet is more majestic and grand.In addition to the royal family and the royal family, ministers of sufficient status are also required to bring their own wives and children to the banquet. The respected person is above and the humble person is below. At this time, I can see it more clearly.And because Xia Yunjing had promised Chu Yao that she would be canonized as a noble concubine on that day, and the noble concubine would enjoy the worship of his wives, so Zhao Yi invited the wives of the old concubines to open another palace on the pretext of not teaching everyone to work hard. , so that he can congratulate directly, so this court banquet is very grand, comparable to the joy of the New Year's Day.

Xia Yunjing trusted Zhao Yi, so he agreed to the proposal, but he didn't know that Zhao Yi had selfish intentions.When Chu Yao was canonized as a noble concubine, she had to do court congratulations to be able to sit firmly in the position of noble concubine. Otherwise, there would be a golden book, gold treasure and golden seal, and half of it would always be empty. Even if Chu Yao said it was against the rules, Zhao Yi blocked her back with the excuse that Xia Yunjing also wanted to buy one for Feng Ying.In order for Feng Ying to gain a firm foothold in Daxia through "nepotism" in the future, Chu Yao must have enough power.In this way, Chu Yao couldn't refute anymore, so she had to agree.In fact, Zhao Yi still didn't say a word, that is, during the court banquet, Chu Yao had a canonization, except for the wife, wouldn't all the officials congratulate her?But there is no need to bow down.Zhao Yi wanted to make Chu Yao's canonization unprecedented, and Xia Yunjing pushed the boat along with his ideas, so there was no room for Chu Yao to speak.

Both Zhao Yi and Chu Yao are good housekeepers, and it's not the first time to do these things. They were a little unfamiliar with Chu Yao's lotus feast before, but now they are familiar with each other again, so this time they are not too fussy. Xia Yunjing was very satisfied.Since the Queen Mother got away from Miss Qin Ning that day, she was not very satisfied with Chu Yao. Occasionally, she asked Zhao Yi and Chu Yao to pay her respects outside, and then she went, and did not ask the two of them to go in again to serve the medicine. .Chu Yao and the two wished that the queen mother would act like this, and Chu Yao was even more happy that the queen mother neglected her, and even pestered Zhao Yi, telling her to order her subordinates to make more snacks with new patterns.

When the queen mother heard that Xia Yunjing had issued an order to hold a court banquet that day, she immediately turned her face and called Xia Yunjing, Zhao Yi, and Chu Yao to go. I went late on purpose for a long time, and was annoyed when I met Xia Yunjing, so I said directly to the palace servants who were serving the queen mother, "The queen mother has been getting sick recently, and I can't go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet if I want to, so please take good care of me. Tell the queen mother to see the wind."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother was so angry that Xia Yunjing came out and saw Zhao Yi and Chu Yao were about to go in, so she stopped, "The Queen Mother is not well, so you don't need to go in to disturb me, and you don't have to come here to say hello, often Just send a palace man over to ask a question." Xia Yunjing finally added, "You two are the masters of the palace, so you must not come here to get over your illness."

After hearing this, Zhao Yi and Chu Yao didn't refute, and nodded in response. As long as Xia Yunjing and Zhao Yi didn't want others to know about the affairs in the palace, naturally no one would dare to pass them on in private.Don't you see, Concubine Shu never expresses the slightest objection. Naturally, other people don't have this status, and they don't have the courage.

The empress dowager was restrained by Xia Yunjing's words, so her heart was naturally more active. The court banquet was carried out according to Xia Yunjing's expectations, and the harem was also tightly held by Xia Yunjing and Zhao Yi. The current prestige can't be maintained anymore, so he started to move his subordinates secretly, and went out of the palace to look for him.With this movement, Zhao Yi and Chu Yao were sent joy.

Freeing her hands from palace affairs, Zhao Yi and Chu Yao put all her mind on the Queen Mother, as the old saying goes, I'm afraid she won't move.Now that the Queen Mother is ordering people to do things, and the fish is ready to take the bait, Zhao Yi, Chu Yao and Zhao Yi are naturally happy.When she came back that day, Zhao Yi made a plan and gave orders one after another. Now that Concubine Yun's parents relied on their power to marry Concubine Yun to a distant nephew of the head wife of the Hou Mansion, I don't know. Where did Zhao Yi pull out this Mrs. Hou's Mansion and her distant nephew who was incompetent and limped.

Concubine Yun thinks she is a new woman, wants to be monogamous, and has a mysterious space in her hands, so she naturally refuses to obey orders. Anyway, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple killed Concubine Yun's biological mother long ago in order to promote her, and she kept Concubine Yun far away. The land was sent to Zhuangzi, and she was ignored.When Concubine Yun found out that her biological mother had served the queen mother in the palace, she was overjoyed immediately. According to the words reported by her subordinates, Concubine Yun tried every means to inquire about the status of the current harem, and wrote a promotion route. .

Someone below copied a copy of it, and it was from the time when the draft was selected to enter the palace, to the early days after entering the palace, it was quiet in the palace, so as to see the faces of the palace servants around it, and then later it designed a dance, which won the curiosity of the sage, and then relied on that The mysterious space has been promoted step by step, even having a few children is planned, and even at the end, Zhao Yi Chuyao is also written on it, and it is marked that the early stage can be borrowed, and the later stage will be an enemy. According to a piece of paper, Zhao Yi and Chu Yao are not on good terms. Although Zhao Yi is a queen and has a prince, she is not as good as her husband. Naturally, Concubine Shu has more advantages.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi couldn't deny it, just smiled, but Chu Yao frowned again and again, and then pointed out several places one after another, and said to Zhao Yi, "If it weren't for the great fortune of you and me, I'm afraid it would really make her go well."

When Zhao Yi heard the words, she also looked at those places, exactly how to enter the palace, how to not stand out in the early stage, how to plan to meet the saint for the first time, when to have a child, and how to expect the road to Jinfeng, and what to do in the future. Concubine Xia marked the matter of borrowing strength, and his face gradually became gloomy.Although her understanding of Concubine Yun is not as good as that of Chu Yao, it does not mean that she does not know the route and key events of Concubine Yun. From this point of view, Concubine Yun planned it long before entering the palace. Find yourself an opponent to come in.Zhao Yi thought about it, but suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Yao didn't understand why, but said, "Since she wants to find a way to enter the palace, then I want her to fail in the first step. No matter what, I have to make her lose her ancestors, change her appearance, and do it. A servant in the palace will do."

Seeing this, Zhao Yi smiled even more, took the recording paper from Chu Yao's hand, lit it on the candle, and said to Chu Yao, "Miss, don't forget, the palace servants who serve the elders give the younger ones , is also reasonable, but if that junior becomes the emperor," Zhao Yi hooked the corners of his lips, "I'm afraid it will be rare to endure such a beauty."

Chu Yao and Zhao Yi disagreed, "It's hard to bear. With the mysterious space of Concubine Yun, I also believe that Xia Yunjing will break the rules and make her a high position in order to take care of her body and children. In the beginning, it was better to hang her up high and then sink into the mud."

Zhao Yi still nodded with a smile, "This is also a way, but... if I know where Concubine Yun's mysterious space is, how can I get it."

Chu Yao's eyes flashed, and some joy appeared on his face, "Really?" Chu Yao said again, "I have seen Concubine Yun use her mysterious space to bring the dead back to life. If her eldest son was not discovered too late, it should be too late. If you and I can live, it will not only cut off Xia Yunjing's hope, but also give us the means to sign up."

"Of course I won't lie to you," Zhao Yi said, "I once saw that Concubine Yun pressed a birthmark on her right arm and it disappeared. At that time, I was also very curious. After careful inspection, I knew it was A strange stone, with only a small spot on her skin, looks like a birthmark on the face."

"But she was drafted into the palace. If there is a birthmark, how can the old palace people not notice it? If it is really a stone, Xia Yunjing and her...then how could they not know about it," Chu Yao said as she was ashamed and vague.

"The position of the stone will not change, but it can be hidden like the skin color, and it will naturally be as soft as the skin," Zhao Yi replied, "It only looks like a birthmark once or twice, and the rest of the time, Concubine Yun rolls up her sleeves , just press it there, read it in, and then disappear, so we are sure, that is the way to enter the mysterious space."

Only then did Chu Yao feel more believable, and seeing Zhao Yi's deliberate aggrieved look on her face because of her previous repeated questions, she couldn't help laughing, and only comforted her, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just this matter It's really too bizarre, if you want to snatch it, you and I only have one chance, if you can't succeed once, I'm afraid she will be vigilant too," he said, "Just now you said in your words, you are a former life I often follow her by her side and concentrate on observing this result..." Chu Yao said, glaring at Zhao Yi, "It must be that she often changed clothes, bathed and went to bed with her, and I don't know how to watch her and that Xia... …How many times do you see clouds and rain before you understand, hum.”

Chu Yao's last hum was very charming. Originally, Chu Yao just followed the words, but the more she said, she became annoyed in her heart, so she turned her head away and didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Yi.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi couldn't help calling a mistake, and at the same time, she felt a little joy in her heart. Normally, Chu Yao always trusted Zhao Yi very much. Although Zhao Yi felt warm in her heart, she couldn't help but feel that something was missing.Now that Chu Yao is jealous, Zhao Yi is sweeter than eating honey, so she doesn't regret what she said just now, instead she is thinking in her heart how to make Chu Yao express more, if she can go back to her It's better for Tang Chi to take the initiative like that.

Chu Yao saw that Zhao Yi didn't know where to go, and the smile on her lips didn't know how to hold back. The anger in her stomach seemed to be poked in the eye by a needle, and she vented immediately. Chu Yao pushed Zhao Yi. , "Let's talk about the rest of the matter quickly, and I will go to rest later."

Zhao Yi was pushed by this, and immediately reacted. Seeing Chu Yao's expression was sluggish, she said, "It's better to rest first. You can talk about these things anytime."
