Delicate green plum dressed as the little emperor of green tea

Chapter 410 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet

With Qi Yaoyao's current status and the support of the Empress Dowager, only Zhen Baozhu and Empress Shen can be regarded as serious troubles in her heart.

One was the true love of the emperor in the past, making the other right in the middle palace.

But for Qi Yaoyao, the most important thing now should be Gu Chong.

Just as Empress Shen said just now, although Zhen Baozhu and Lu Zhan seem to have fallen out now, they have a past relationship after all.

Not to mention that Empress Shen has no natal family, and the reason why she still sits in the back seat is because of the acquiescence of Empress Dowager Qi.

Once Zhen Baozhu completely falls out of favor and Empress Shen is no longer needed, then it will only be a matter of one sentence.

Therefore, Zhen Baozhu had reason to think that Qi Yaoyao supported Zhuang Guiren because she presumably wanted Zhuang Guiren to do something to her.

what to do

Zhen Baozhu still can't figure it out.

"This concubine Qi looks kind-hearted, but she doesn't want to be a person. First, she framed the empress and ruined her face, and now she wants to punish these moths. Thinking about it, the servant feels irritated." Chun Lan was furious. Chu Lai said, "It's just that the empress wants to act now, otherwise the servants will definitely beat her up and express their anger."

After Zhen Baozhu finished the millet porridge, she was still a little hungry, but now she wanted to pretend to be miserable, so she could only hug her stomach and sleep on the couch enduring hunger.

"What are you in a hurry for? The winner is the one who can have the last laugh. Let them be rampant for a while, and then I will let you beat her yourself."

Because she was acting all the time, Zhen Baozhu was not angry at Qi Yaoyao's framing of her, and she looked like an outsider.

Zhen Baozhu stayed in the palace for a while, and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was approaching. This time, Empress Shen and Concubine Qi personally organized the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

Having said that, it is mainly Empress Shen.

After all, Concubine Qi was born in a concubine, and it was not long before she entered the palace, so she couldn't handle such a thing.

The Mid-Autumn Banquet is held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony as usual.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony occupies a very large area, with islands, rockeries, and pools in between.

Zhen Baozhu wanted to excuse herself not to go, but for this banquet, Xie Chunxiao would also bring Chu Jiaojiao into the palace.

If she wanted to see A Niang, she had no choice but to go there.

When Zhen Baozhu passed, Empress Shen and several concubines also passed. After all, this was a rare opportunity to meet the family members, so everyone was very positive.

Everyone was surprised to see the obviously thin Zhen Baozhu.

There is no doubt that she is still beautiful, and compared with her previous too thin body, she is more pitiful.

However, the childish and lively appearance all over her body has faded away, and you seem to be able to see the sadness deep in her heart.

Concubine Liang Shu, who was closer to Zhen Baozhu in the past, couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with my sister."

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts what happened recently, but it is still hard to imagine.

Zhen Baozhu used to be such an optimistic and lively person, but now she is hurt by love like this.

Unavoidably, there was a feeling of "fortunately the emperor doesn't like them".

Zhen Baozhu forced a smile, "It's nothing, I just don't have a good appetite."

After she said this, others didn't have much to say.

When Concubine Qi came over, there was a stark contrast with Zhen Baozhu.

Qi Yaoyao even came to greet Zhen Baozhu with a smile, and asked in amazement: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how come Xianfei has lost a lot today?"

Several high-ranking concubines looked at Qi Yaoyao with strange eyes.

Others don't know why Zhen Baozhu was cleared, and Concubine Qi doesn't know?

This new Concubine Qi is really a white lotus.

Others were afraid of Concubine Qi, and even wanted to curry favor with Concubine Qi, but Concubine Liang Shu was not afraid. She looked Qi Concubine up and down, "It's no better than Concubine Qi, who is favored by her side, has a generous heart and a fat body."

Concubine Rong De also smiled and said: "Hey, sister Liang, look, Concubine Qi and Baozhu are very similar, the emperor's taste has not changed."

Concubine Liang Shu snorted coldly, "Substitutes are always substitutes, if you dare to show off your power in front of the Lord, you don't know how you will die in the future."

"You need to know that flowers are not good for a hundred days, and people are not popular for a thousand days. This truth is especially true in the palace."

Qi Yaoyao has a good temper, she didn't say a word, she just smiled and looked at Concubine Liang Shu and Concubine Rong De who were talking, "My sister taught me a lesson, my sister knows."

Qi Yaoyao didn't take over, but Zhuang Guiren stood up for Qi Yaoyao, "What Concubine Shu said is naturally correct, just as Concubine De and Concubine Shu are not favored, but they have a family background and can still rank among the fourth concubines."

"Concubine Qi is favored now, even if she falls out of favor in the future, there is still the Queen Mother as a guarantee. As long as she doesn't make mistakes, she can still be raised in the palace for a lifetime."

Zhuang Guiren naturally knew how much he weighed, so when he said this, his tone was soft, and he never left the conversation.

Concubine Liang Shu and Zhuang Guiren are of the same age, and they used to look up and see each other outside the palace. She didn't even look at her, "Yes, Concubine Qi is backed by the Empress Dowager, Mr. Zhuang, what do you have, a mere nobleman, you dare to act presumptuously in front of me, Nanny Zhou, give me the slap in the face of her."

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Nanny Zhou came to Zhuang Guiren and slapped Zhuang Guiren ten times.

The voice was loud, and most of the wives had already arrived for this matter, and it was very shocking to see this scene.

But right and wrong in the palace is not something that wives can discuss. Even if Mrs. Zhuang is on the side, Mrs. Zhuang will not stand up for a little concubine.

The Qi Zhuang family, who grew up with Zhuang Guiren, couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to speak for the concubine sister, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhuang.

"You are just the wife of a small household minister, and you are not qualified to speak in front of the nobles. It is one thing that you failed to rescue your sister when the time comes. If you are included, it will be bad for your son-in-law."

Mrs. Zhuang forcefully pulled her daughter over.

Zhuang Guiren was slapped in the face, and seeing the actions of Mrs. Zhuang and Qi Zhuang's in his eyes, a flash of hatred flashed in his eyes.

Just when Empress Shen came here, the concubines and wives greeted the empress one after another, and this little episode ended like this.

After being slapped, Zhuang Guiren went to his sister-in-law Qi Zhuang to talk about the past with a calm face. She didn't mention the matter just now, but Qi Zhuang felt a little sorry.

"Because of our relationship with the Shen family, our father just became an official. Elder brother is only a fifth-rank official in the court, and he is not even qualified to attend palace banquets."

"Although I am married to Marquis Cheng En, the dealer is not liquidated, but in the end our family background is not strong, and now we should act more carefully and behave with our tails tucked. Why did my sister openly contradict Concubine Shu and Concubine De?"

Zhuang Guiren's eyes dimmed, and he began to cry, "Sister, I don't know that I have a difficult life in the palace. I can only become a small nobleman by surrendering to the Queen Mother and Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi was questioned just now. If I don't show up, I'm afraid Concubine Qi will be unhappy."

"After all, I am not as lucky as my sister. I married my brother-in-law and became Mrs. Hou. My sister is the only one in the backyard of my brother-in-law."

Qi Zhuang's face was a little shy, "Master Hou treated me really well."

"But I heard," said Zhuang Guiren, "in the past, the old man of Jiangling Palace said that Marquis Chengen and Concubine Xian once had a relationship. It was only because of the relationship between Concubine Xian and the new emperor that Marquis Chengen could reluctantly part with each other and retreat. The second choice is my sister."
