At this moment, the spectators around are all serious mistresses and daughters-in-law. Hearing Chaoli say that Chaozhen, a concubine's life is better than that of a daughter-in-law, and then think of Song Lingxin's talk about Chaolu's favored concubine The incident of killing his wife made everyone feel pity for Chaoli.

What's more, a lady with a more straightforward temperament directly opened her mouth to speak for Chao Li.

"The one raised by my aunt is like this. She is too petty, so she is not as noble as a daughter-in-law." The one who spoke was Mrs. Gao, Gao Yushi's wife-in-law.

Looking up at Chao Li, he was quite surprised.

You know, in the previous life, Mrs. Gao never liked to gossip, and she didn't mean to fight an injustice. She never thought that she would be willing to speak for herself today.

Immediately, Chao Li showed a grateful expression.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gao just glanced at her and left, her eyes were a little weird.

I don't know if Chaoli got it wrong, but she seemed to see a look of mourning and anger in Madam Gao's eyes.

Could it be that Mrs. Gao felt that it was too embarrassing for her dignified daughter-in-law to be bullied like this by her concubine?

"My mother is right, a concubine is a concubine, no matter how expensive you dress, it can't change the lowliness in your bones." The woman beside Mrs. Gao said.

This woman Chaoli also knows something, her name is Gao Rui, and she is the daughter of Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Gao.

Gao Rui is not a gentle and kind woman, she has a hot temper, and she has good martial arts. In her previous life, she liked a little general, and the disturbance in the capital was much worse than that of Chaoli.

In the end, the little general had no choice but to go to the battlefield, not knowing what happened to the two of them.

To tell the truth, Chao Li likes Gao Rui's personality, similar to her, but stronger than her, at least she didn't survive in her previous life.

Zhao Zhen's face was flushed by the words, no matter how bad she was, she also knew that the palace banquet was not a place where she could lose her temper at will, but a strong hatred surged in her heart, blaming Zhao Li for revealing her identity.

However, she never thought that if she hadn't come to Chaoli herself, Chaoli would not take the initiative to find her.

Wang Jingya frowned, glanced at Chaoli coldly, then looked at Chaozhen beside her, and spoke in a low voice.

"Okay, if I knew that the success is not enough and the failure is more than the failure, I would not have brought you here, and even made me feel ashamed to be with you." After Wang Jingya finished speaking, she casually placed her eyes on Chaoli, "My lord The concubine is really eloquent, which made me very surprised. I still have something to say to my father, so I will leave first."

After finishing speaking, Wang Jingya turned around and left, regardless of whether Chaozhen could keep up.

Seeing the two leave, Chao Li raised the corners of his lips slightly.

I thought it was such a big trouble, but I didn't expect Wang Jingya to give up so easily.

On the other side, Chao Li put his eyes on Gu Xiyue, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't speak.

Gu Xiyue's heart skipped a beat, as if her secrets had been seen through by Chao Li, and her palms were sweating unconsciously.

"I, I'm going to my mother's place, so I won't tell you first."

After saying this, Gu Xiyue almost ran away in despair.

Chao Li looked at Gu Xiyue's back thoughtfully, the girl turned to look at her from time to time, feeling a little guilty in her panic, something was wrong.

However, Chaoli ignored it, got up and approached Mrs. Gao's mother and daughter.

In front of Wang Jingya, the princess, Chaoli didn't get up just now, but now she got up and approached Mrs. Gao, which made Mrs. Gao understand, but she didn't show it on her face.

In fact, the reason why Chaoli didn't get up in front of Wang Jingya was that her status was no worse than Wang Jingya's.

Wang Jingya's father was a king with a different surname. He came from hereditary ancestors and was not a relative of the emperor. Now he has declined a lot, and he has lost the infinite glory of his ancestors.

Today's Holy Majesty has made up his mind to cut down the vassals, and the kings with different surnames have fiefs, and he will be one of them. It's a pity that Emperor Renxiao's body is getting worse day by day and he hasn't implemented it.

The reason why the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is a special existence in the capital is because the old Hou Ye has military power in his hands, and he is in charge of a large army of 30.

Gu Ye, the father of the old Hou Ye in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, was a bandit on a mountain in Liangzhou.

The first emperor met him when he was suppressing bandits when he was the prince, and was touched by his character, so he secretly took him under his command.

Gu Ye went to the northern battlefield with the prince. He fought the enemy bravely and rescued the prince eleven times.

Afterwards, the crown prince ascended the throne, canonized Gu Ye as Marquis of Zhenbei, and gave him a tiger talisman, allowing him to control the military power of Daqi.

The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has the military power, and everyone in the capital has to give face. Now all the princes are wooing Gu Hanzhang in the matter of seizing the heir. Half of the reason is the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion's military power.

Now that Emperor Renxiao is old, the idea of ​​cutting down the vassal has been lingering in his mind. Many years ago, he privately summoned the old Hou Ye many times, and the news spread like wildfire in the palace.

After Wang Jingya's father heard the news, he opposed the Zhenbei Hou Mansion everywhere, so Wang Jingya and Gu Hanzhang were in opposition.

The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion holds the military power, once the feudal lords are cut, they will inevitably confront these princes with fiefdoms.

Therefore, Chaoli, as the concubine of Zhenbeihou's mansion, the next wife of Zhenbeihou, is indeed no worse than Wang Jingya, the declining princess, and her status is slightly higher, so she doesn't need to stand up and salute The princess is enough.

"Thank you Madam Gao and Ms. Gao for your righteous words. If you don't mind, I will come to thank you in a few days." Chao Li nodded slightly.

Mrs. Gao's tone became much softer, "As long as Shi Zifei doesn't feel that our small family has humiliated you, I'm fine."

"The concubine Shi Zi is not as good as the rumors, but I think the rumors cannot be fully believed, the concubine Shi Zi is very good." Gao Rui also said.

"You two have quite a high opinion, and I'm really ashamed of it." Chao Li returned with a smile.

Originally, the three of them still wanted to chat, but it was difficult to say a lot of things at the palace banquet, so Chaoli bid farewell temporarily and returned to his seat.

Just now he spoke a little dryly, Chao Li picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down in one gulp.

At this moment, the maid who poured wine for Chaoli came up.

Chaoli raised his head inadvertently, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"It didn't seem like you were serving the wine just now."

Hearing this, the palace maid accidentally tilted the jug in her hand, and the wine spilled on the table, and some of it was also stained on Chao Li's body.

"Prince Concubine, spare your life, Concubine, concubine, this servant did not mean it. My sister just left for something, and this servant is only here to pour wine for Concubine Shizi, and she will come back later."

The palace maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and soon her forehead turned red with a smile, and it could be seen that she had used a lot of effort.

Chao Li waved his hand, "It's okay, get up."

"A Li, it's still cold today, your clothes are wet, you might as well change." Song Lingxin turned her head and said.

Although the wine is not too much, it is still uncomfortable to be wet.
