Qing Chuan Zhi Wants to Be a Concubine

Chapter 205 Yongzheng's Grace, Exposed

Wearing auspicious clothes with bright yellow Han tile patterns, Yongzheng walked into the hall with dragon and tiger steps. Behind him, Su Peisheng followed suit, and the concubines in the hall stood up one after another.

When Yongzheng swept across Yuyao, his eyes paused.

Seeing that she looked good and was not in any bad state such as fatigue, she immediately looked away, then scanned the other concubines without a pause, and finally stopped on the empress on the side of her head.

Walking to the side of the queen who was also wearing bright yellow auspicious clothes, she lifted her hem and sat down on the golden dragon-shaped throne in the middle.

The queen led a concubine to salute and greet Yongzheng, and sat down one by one after the ceremony was given to them.

The empress exchanged a few words with Yongzheng, but Yongzheng changed the subject, "It's getting late, it's time to present a gift, and I will have a feast for the clan and courtiers later."

The queen's smile didn't change at all, it was still very formulaic. Obviously, she didn't expect it at all, maybe she had expected it long ago.

"The concubine comes first!" Said, Hailan and Qing'er next to her waved her hands and came out with trays, "The concubine presented the emperor with a set of uniforms made by himself, and a concubine wrote it himself. The Longevity Picture is just a thought, the Emperor Wanwang don't want to dislike it."

"The empress is busy with the palace affairs, and she took the time to prepare clothes and a picture of longevity for me. I am quite satisfied with whichever one she cares about." While speaking, Yongzheng glanced at Su Peisheng, then nodded slightly at the empress, watching the other party's expression soften some.

Su Peisheng stepped forward to pick up the tray himself, before handing it over to the other eunuchs around him.

The queen smiled formulaically.

Afterwards, Concubine Qi, Concubine Xi, and Concubine Yu gave gifts, and Concubine Qi and Concubine Yu simply nodded and said "Not bad", but when Concubine Xi gave the gift, they only nodded slightly, saying nothing. He didn't say anything, and asked Su Peisheng to arrange other eunuchs to pick him up with a blank face.

A sincere smile finally appeared on the queen's face watching this scene.

After all, they were treated differently. Su Peisheng, the most useful eunuch around the emperor, personally picked up the ones she sent, and the others were other eunuchs. The contrast is obvious, and the emperor respects her obviously, so how can you be unhappy.

But Concubine Xi was not happy, not only because the emperor treated the empress differently from the gifts she gave her, but also because the emperor treated her differently from Concubine Qi and Concubine Yu.

But he didn't dare to show it on the surface, he just tore the veil under the table vigorously to vent.

But I was afraid that the sound of tearing the veil would be exposed, so I could only endure it and dare not try my best to tear it.

This feeling of being so angry that he couldn't get up or down caused a trace of annoyance to flash across Xi Bin's eyes.

When she arrived at Yuyao, she smiled gently and said: "The concubine also gave the emperor a set of ordinary clothes as a gift, I hope the emperor will like it."

Yongzheng still didn't ask Su Peisheng to pick him up, but other eunuchs did too.

The queen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, but she froze instantly when she saw the emperor's expression.

She was so close to the emperor, she could clearly see the emperor's expression at the moment - looking intently at Jinpin Guerjia, his face softened a lot, and the corners of his mouth actually curled into a slight smile.

The queen's heart trembled, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Jinpin Guerjia.

For a moment, I felt that the Guarjia family and the emperor looked at each other, and there was a subtle feeling.

The emperor has never been interested in the concubines in the harem, and none of the concubines has received his attention. The empress is quite happy about this.

But now, it is obvious that the emperor is a little different towards the Jinpin Guerjia family, and seems to have some heart, what should I do?
She has seen many emperors become dissatisfied with the empress they respected because of their love for a certain concubine, and in the end they even developed into a waste queen.

The queen was a little confused, but the gifts from the concubines in the back basically didn't pay attention to what they gave.

"Let's pass on the food!"

Following Yongzheng's faint order, Su Peisheng immediately shouted: "Pass the meal!"

The loud voice brought back the thoughts that the queen was immersed in.

While waiting for the imperial meal to be served and set on the table, the queen calmed down her chaotic mood for a while, and kept it in a corner of her heart.

Then, he motioned to Hailan beside her to pour the wine for her. Just as the wine was poured out, a slight scent of plum blossoms came to her nostrils.

This wine is the plum blossom wine specially brewed for these concubines who are too strong to drink. As the queen asked people to pour the wine, the concubines asked the maids next to them to pour the wine one by one.

Originally, there was only a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, but the quantitative change led to a qualitative change, permeating the entire hall.

And Yuyao, who was not very greedy for wine, was hooked by the scent of plum blossoms emitted by the wine.

He stared eagerly at the table in front of him, but it was a pity that there was only the jug containing honey water, and he couldn't help showing a look of disappointment. Immediately, he couldn't help but look at the jug with plum wine on the opposite side.

Yong Zheng didn't seem to care about anything, but in fact, his eyes often swept over Yu Yao, watching her every move.

After seeing her appearance of drinking, she frowned slightly, a little worried, she was pregnant, so she couldn't drink.

When he wanted to signal Su Peisheng to come closer, he sent someone to change the jug in front of Yuyao, but suddenly found that Yuyao was disappointed, and the next moment he looked eagerly at the jug on the opposite table.

Suddenly understood, the frowning eyebrows were relaxed, and he didn't call Su Peisheng to come closer.

He averted his eyes and glanced casually in the hall, and after a while, his eyes re-focused on Yuyao without being noticed.

Seeing her look away, she looked expectantly at the dishes that were about to be placed on the table in front of her.

Unlike other tables, it was still steaming.

Yongzheng's satisfied expression turned to the queen beside him. At this moment, the queen raised her eyes to look at Yongzheng. When she met this satisfied look, she was a little dazed for a while, and then the chaos that was suppressed somewhere in her heart disappeared a lot.

A genuine smile began to show on his expressionless face.

She picked up the wine cup, stood up and said: "The concubine toasts the emperor with a glass, wishing the emperor a long life, peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

While the queen was talking, Yongzheng waited for Su Peisheng to pour the wine, then raised the wine cup to the queen.

"The concubine will do it first!" After saying that, he covered it with his sleeve and finished it in one gulp.

"The queen is good at drinking," Yongzheng boasted casually, and then drank the wine in the wine cup.

Afterwards, Concubine Qi, Concubine Xi...the concubines began to toast Yongzheng in turn, but Yongzheng didn't drink a whole glass of wine like he did to the queen.

It's just a sip, even Yuyao's toast is no exception.

The difference is that, for Yuyao's toast, although Yongzheng didn't finish the toast, his expression was the softest.

The queen, who had been paying attention to the emperor's expression, could see it clearly and clearly at such a close distance.

Those chaotic moods that had just disappeared not long ago began to be reborn in a corner of the bottom of my heart.

After the toast, Yongzheng randomly picked up two chopsticks to signal the start of the banquet. After he could move the chopsticks, he spoke again: "Concubine Jin is heavy, so go back first after eating, there is no need to watch the night here."

After hearing this, the queen felt a little uncomfortable. Would she let Jinpin Guerjia stay up all night with such a big stomach?Couldn't what she did in the past show her virtuousness and generosity?The emperor knew it clearly, but skipped her to give Jinpin this grace, and he really treated Jinpin differently.

The other concubines, with quick minds, stopped holding chopsticks one by one when they heard Yongzheng's kindness to Concubine Jin.

They all realized that the emperor treated Concubine Jin differently.
