Chapter 34
"Has the queen not come yet?" Concubine Xi couldn't help muttering.

A eunuch who was running errands to pass on a message trotted in, approached Pan'er and whispered a few words, Pan'er immediately approached Concubine Xi, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Aunt Fang who is beside the Empress is here."

"Only her, the queen didn't come?" Concubine Xi asked with a frown.

Pan'er's heart tightened, and the empress was in a bad mood again, what a pity!

Thinking about it, she replied very submissively: "I didn't say there was a queen."

"What on earth is the empress planning to do? Did she deliberately come so late to make Ben Gong wait for her and show off her power as the lord of the harem?" Concubine Xi who was talking to herself angrily changed her face.

Pan'er suddenly had a bad premonition, and secretly glanced at Concubine Xi who had a dark face. After moving her lips, she finally lowered her head and raised her eyebrows, without saying a word.

Concubine Xi stared at Pan'er, and said in a choked voice: "What are you doing in a daze, do you need my orders for everything? Why don't you hurry up and ask someone to bring it in!"

Yuyao, who was sitting in the lower middle position on the left, glanced at Concubine Xi naturally, seeing the scene of Concubine Xi changing her face after passing the message, she naturally withdrew her gaze, cast it on the snacks on the table, and narrowed her eyes It seems to be seriously thinking about dim sum.

Concubine Xi fell behind, because of the queen, thinking of Yuyao who joined forces with the queen, she couldn't help but glared at Yuyao.

"I have seen Concubine Xi, empress Jin'an!" Aunt Fang, who came in with the eunuch who sent the message, saluted Concubine Xi respectfully.

Because of what the empress told her when Kunning Palace greeted her earlier, even if Concubine Xi's heart swelled up, and she felt that she would be the final winner in the future, she would not dare to intentionally punish her aunt at this moment to embarrass the empress.

Instead, she deliberately put on a modest attitude, and said in an airy manner, "Excuse me."

After Aunt Fang stood up again, she continued to ask in a hypocritical and kind manner: "I don't know when the empress will arrive. This palace and the other sisters in the harem are waiting for the empress."

Aunt Fang said euphemistically: "The empress is busy with the affairs of the harem, so it is not convenient to come to the flower viewing banquet. The empress said that there is no need to wait for her."

"What! The Empress is not coming!" Concubine Xi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Yuyao looked at Concubine Xi's behavior, and secretly rolled her eyes: You are a queen, you are just a concubine, you are here to save face, if you don't come, you are not qualified to say anything as a concubine.

But Yuyao saw Concubine Xi's suddenly distorted face, and knew that Concubine Xi had a big face and a clear mind.

Concubine Xi pulled the veil angrily, and finally endured the anger that was about to explode.

It's just that an empress with no name at all would not give Ben the face of a concubine with a son. Ben Gong is not the biological mother of Hong Zhou, a hopeless prince, but the biological mother of the fourth prince Hong Li who is most valued by the emperor.

Heh, let's see how long you can maintain your dignity as a queen, the insult today, sooner or later, I will return it to you.

Listening to Concubine Xi's shocking words, Aunt Fang was a little speechless, she lowered her head to hide the sneer from the corner of her mouth.

"The empress is not free, so she won't come." The tone was as respectful as before.

Concubine Xi smiled stiffly, but she couldn't hide the anger in her eyes and said stiffly: "That's a pity!"

Aunt Fang sneered in her heart, it is not a pity to make your concubine Xi unhappy.

But she still said respectfully: "Miss Xi Concubine, the slave servant's message has arrived, so I will go back to serve the queen!" After saying that, she immediately bid farewell to Concubine Xi.

Concubine Xi immediately nodded in agreement, she wished that the person in front of her would disappear in front of her eyes immediately.

The so-called invisible is pure!

Otherwise, seeing the respectful appearance of the other party, and thinking of the empress' dignified and virtuous appearance, and then thinking of the empress belittling her and refusing to give her face to come to her flower feast, the anger she suppressed surged even more violently!
After they left, Concubine Xi couldn't help but glared at Yuyao.

Yuyao, who happened to meet the other party's gaze, was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head to think, why is this concubine Xi staring at her, she was clearly angry with the queen just now, why did she turn to her all of a sudden?

At the same time that he couldn't figure it out, he raised his vigilance and watched out for the upcoming target of Concubine Xi.

Waiting and waiting, the vigilant target still hasn't arrived.

Yuyao picked up the teacup and glanced at Concubine Xi from the corner of her eye, only to find that Concubine Xi was thinking about something with a dark face.

Yuyao: ... What's wrong with Concubine Xi?
Yuyao, who didn't understand, sneaked a glimpse of Concubine Xi's every move from time to time.

Not long after, Concubine Xi, who was thinking about something, waved her hand to her close maid, Pan'er, who was thinking about something, and then whispered something to her.

"Pan'er, you said that if the queen doesn't come, besides saving Bengong's face, do you also want to take this opportunity to anger Bengong, make Bengong careless, so that he can attack Bengong?"

Pan'er was a little dazed, why did she think that the queen simply didn't want to give her face, and she just didn't want to come if she didn't want to come!
But, you can't say it like that. If you say it like this, it will make the empress not smart enough, so I still have to say it according to the empress's words.

"Your Majesty is smart, and this servant did not expect the Empress Dowager to have such ulterior motives."

Concubine Xi's face looked better, but she still told Pan'er cautiously: "You let people pay attention to the surroundings of this palace, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes, let this palace fall or something." What she wanted to do to others, Now, she is worried that others will treat her like this.

Pan'er nodded seriously, "The slaves will tell them again later."

"More", Concubine Xi glanced at Yuyao, and blinked innocently at Yuyao who was looking at Concubine Xi, Concubine Xi snorted coldly, turned her eyes back to Pan'er, and continued: "Let people keep an eye on you again!" Guerjia, she has teamed up with the queen, and it is estimated that the queen will do something through her."

Pan'er nodded in earnest again, and at the same time suggested: "The king who lives in the Queen's Palace promises to see if you want to keep an eye on her, after all, she is also the Queen's."

"The caution you suggested, I will do as you say." Concubine Xi nodded in agreement.

After a while, Yuyao realized that there was an extra maid beside her, who was still staring at her.

She lowered her eyes, her eyes were dark for a moment, Concubine Xi stared at her like this, what was she trying to do?
Yuyao, who couldn't figure it out, decided to stop in silence, and just sat on the seat, drinking tea and eating snacks, listening to the concubine chatting with her ears straight.

The concubine's conversation is not about cloth clothes, jewelry, makeup, etc.

Although she was bored, she still endured it and kept her heart on guard all the time, being vigilant against Concubine Xi.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement of Concubine Xi or Concubine Xi's people.

She stole a glance at Concubine Xi again, and saw Concubine Xi drinking tea absent-mindedly.

I can't help being a little speechless, this flower viewing banquet was held by your Concubine Xi, so just sit on it and drink tea?

What about the flower viewing?

Even if you really want to do something, you have to act like it!
Was this flower viewing banquet really a failure?
Could it be that this is Concubine Xi's method of deliberately gathering them together, watching their boring chats, and watching the harem concubines isolate her.

But after thinking about it, I felt wrong again.

Still unable to think of anything, Yuyao continued to drink tea, eat snacks, and wait in boredom.

At the same time, I thought: Isn't it just waiting quietly?Her skill in this area is still very good, it depends on who gets impatient first and who makes the move first.

As a result, it was her other concubines who were impatient, such as Ning Guiren Lin Changzai.

"Concubine Xi, my servant and concubine want to come closer to have a look at the flowers blooming here." Ning Guiren first suggested.

Lin Changzai echoed at the side: "The concubine is looking at these flowers, and the interest has also come, and I also want to come closer and have a look. I hope the empress will allow it."
