What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 10 Miss Zhou

The days go by like this.

As August was approaching, due to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mansion was very busy, so Xie Chenyu handed over the power of housekeeping to Zhao Liangdi.

For a while, in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, Lin Ximeng was the most favored, and Zhao Liangdi was the most powerful.

The new Miss Zhou moved from Bibo Court to Jinlan Court, and repeatedly failed to get anything, which annoyed the other concubines, and even Lin Ximeng didn't want to talk to her anymore.

In the early morning of this day, Lin Ximeng came back to visit her again before she had time to have breakfast.

Disgusted for a while, Lin Ximeng asked Qingqing to dismiss her directly and eat and rest by herself.

Qingqing came back angrily, thinking nonsense.

"Master, tell me, what did the empress do to send such a person? It's just that she's not good at thinking, and she doesn't look very good."

Lin Ximeng sneered.

"I don't know, it's none of our business anyway, what about love?"

Qingqing tilted her head and pondered for a moment, and it took a long time to wake up.

"Why is it none of our business? What if she hates us?"

Lin Ximeng said bitterly, "Aren't there few people who hate me in this backyard?"

"Too……"

-

In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

There is a grand banquet in the palace, and all the princes must attend, even those who are above Liangdi in the prince's mansion must go.

At this time, Zhao Liangdi showed her identity.

On this day, she summoned all her lovers and concubines to her Jinlan Garden.

Like a mistress, she sat on the right seat and asked everyone below to stand in two rows.

"The master and I will go to the palace for a banquet in the future, you people should stay in the mansion for the festival. I have ordered the dining room to set up a few more tables."

"If you have anything you want to eat, you can also report what you like. I will let the stewards arrange it one by one, but there is one thing, no trouble is allowed."

"If anyone dares to play tricks while my master and I are away, come back and find out, you will feel better in the darkroom."

"Yes!"

The women responded respectfully, with different expressions.

Cui Liangren lowered his eyebrows, Liu Liangren was still a lump of wood, and Lin Ximeng was respectful.

Only Miss Zhou's complexion changed several times.

Zhao Liangdi saw it, but didn't speak.

After everyone dispersed, Zhao Liangdi sent someone to whisper a message to Miss Zhou, asking her to come back in the middle of the night.

-

At night, Mrs. Zhou went to Jinlan Garden in the mid-autumn dew.

Zhao Liangdi entertained her in the apse.

"You really want to serve the master so much?"

Mrs. Zhou knelt on the ground with a plop, crying miserably, saying how hard it was for her to grow up, and she just wanted to be justified so that she could gain a foothold in the mansion and have a reputation.

"I don't dare to compete for favor. I have been here for a long time, and my name is not right in the backyard."

"Whether"

Zhao Liangdi couldn't be bothered to listen, and directly offered conditions.

"You can go to bed if you want, but there is something you need to do for me."

"what?"

Zhao Liangdi whispered in Zhou's ear, watching Zhou's face pale and pale.

"This... I really don't dare, after all, she is..."

"Forget it. You can continue to suffer. I can only tell you that as soon as this is done, I will immediately arrange for you to sleep in bed."

Zhou gradually lowered her head and remained silent for a long time, then suddenly knelt down obediently and kowtowed.

"Yes, my concubine will go first"

-

The day of Mid-Autumn Festival will come soon.

Early in the morning, the mansion was full of joy. The front yard, the back yard and the back garden were covered with all kinds of lanterns wherever they could see.

They will all be lit up at night, and it will be beautiful then.

In the afternoon, Xie Chenyu took the well-dressed Zhao Liangdi out.

He was wearing a black silk brocade robe embroidered with auspicious clouds, a black jade crown inlaid with gold on his head, and a priceless jade bone fan in his hand.

And Zhao Liangdi...

Also wearing gold and silver, she was wearing an inch-sized gold Shu brocade, with jewels and emeralds all over her head, gorgeous and extravagant.

But probably because of her poor looks, she has an indescribably rustic look about her, like the No. 18 concubine married by a rich man among the country gentry.

Xie Chenyu huffed and shook his fan, asking Zhao Hai to call Mrs. Lin.

"Tell her to dress up better, don't embarrass me"

"Hey!"

Zhao Hai slipped away.

In less than half an hour, Ma Liuer came back again, followed by Lin Ximeng in a jade-colored dress.

The clear and shallow jade color is matched with a whole set of precious suet white jade collection, a huge oriental bead step shaker, and a pearl flower made of glazed beads.

The whole person is pure and noble, with a gentle temperament that is better than sound.

Especially with that face that is all over the country and all over the city.

Rao Xie Chenyu, who has tasted all the beauties in the world, also stared straight.

"good"

He picked Lin Ximeng's face with a folding fan, his eyes full of admiration.

Lin Ximeng smiled lightly: "Thank you, Lord, for your appreciation."

Xie Chenyu took Lin Ximeng into the carriage, ignoring Zhao Liangdi who was full of emerald jewels and jealous eyes.

Zhao Liangdi stomped her feet fiercely, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and get on her carriage.

-

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is held in Jiaotai Hall between Jiaofang Palace and Qianqing Palace.

Those who participated were important officials of the imperial court, relatives of the royal family, and wives at home and abroad.

The luxurious hall is divided into left and right sides, separated by a screen in the middle, with male guests on one side and female family members on the other.

When Xie Chenyu's family arrived, most of the hall was already filled in twos and threes.

After entering the main hall, Xie Chenyu went to the male guests' section, and Lin Ximeng followed Zhao Liangdi to the women's side.

The flamboyant Zhao Liangdi was full of anger.

She has silks and satins, as well as gold, silver, pearls and emeralds, but no matter how she dresses up, she can't match her face, so what else is there to say?

She stared at Lin Ximeng with fiery eyes.

"Go and sit in the corner over there, I'm all Liangdi from various prefectures here, there's no place for you"

Lin Ximeng saluted lightly, and calmly went to the corner.

She has no inferiority complex at all.

Except for the maids and eunuchs, she is the most humble person in this building, so it is normal to go to the corner.

Even if there is no place for her to stand up and serve, it is perfectly normal.

The so-called bottom layer is nothing more than that, she has long been used to it.

I poured myself a cup of cold tea and drank it slowly without any burden in my heart.

The days are long, aren't they?Take your time.

-

The seats gradually filled up, and after half an hour, the emperor and empress finally appeared hugging each other.

This was Lin Ximeng's third meeting with the queen and the first meeting with the emperor.

After the lengthy kneeling ceremony, she really saw the faces of the two for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It is said that it is not the family that does not enter the house, and it is true."

One of them is fatter than the other, how much delicacies did they eat?Is blood pressure and blood lipids really okay?

The old emperor said a few polite words, and the banquet officially began.

The moon, the fine wine, the singer and the dancer are like a prosperous and prosperous singing and dancing.

It seems so on the surface, but in reality, no one in the royal family has his own thoughts.

The old emperor's muddy eyes swept over the waists of the dancers, and finally fell on the six sons.

The second child is Xie Chenke, the third child is Xie Chenkang, the fifth child is Xie Chenmu, the sixth child is Xie Chenyu, the eighth child is Xie Chenzhao, and the ninth child is Xie Chenao.

Except for that foreign girl's Xiao Jiu with amber eyes, the other five...

The old emperor gulped down a cup of wine.

He had to choose a successor among them.

But he is obviously only 45 years old, so why do those old ministers force him to establish a prince?Is he dying?
