Donggong Zhangjiao

The eighth day.

Snowflakes started to fall in the morning.

Originally, the queen did not plan to call the concubines to pay her respects during the first month of the year.

However, because of the news of Shangyang Kingdom's surrender yesterday, the queen still released the news and asked the concubines to come today.

I guess it's for the sake of victory. I must give you some instructions.

Last night, Pei Yao was so happy that he pulled Fang Yuan around until midnight. This morning, he was woken up without getting enough sleep. He was a little angry and felt very irritable.

After serving her for a long time, Qingrong and Yanwei both had a good idea of ​​her temperament. They served her quietly all morning, talking less and doing more.

Although the master has a good temper, even if he gets angry, he will not take it out on them too much, but no one wants to make the master angry.

But the people in Yuzhang Palace are caring and obedient, but outside, there are always people who can't be dealt with.

Because Fang Yun was the last one to arrive today, as soon as he entered Jiaofang Hall, he heard Concubine Yang's voice coming from ahead.

"Concubine Zhao is really delicate and rich. Yuzhang Palace is so close to Jiaofang Palace. I have already arrived even though I am pregnant. Concubine Zhao is so late. She is a slave who was driven away in a sedan chair. I am afraid that she will leave too soon." , is it upside down?"

A strange voice came, and Fang Yun's eyes turned cold for a moment.

He glanced at her nonchalantly and said calmly.

"Concubine Yang really understands the meaning of knowing and knowing."

Too lazy to refute, since you said I have a delicate body and expensive flesh, that's it.

Concubine Yang was choked, but she didn't feel annoyed or impatient.

He raised the corners of his lips and chuckled, "It's not that I have to say this. It's just that in the past, the emperor and the queen always praised you for being sensible and polite. Why did you serve the emperor yesterday, and today it's too late to say hello to the queen? , but it would still make people think it was deliberate neglect.”

"Tsk."

After Yang Fei finished speaking, Fang Yun smacked her lips, tilted her head slightly, and her eyes fell on Si Qi next to Yang Fei.

"Tell me, what time is it now?"

When asked suddenly, Si Qi was puzzled, but after looking at Concubine Yang, she answered in a low voice.

"Chenshi three quarters."

"Qingrong, when is the time set by the Queen to pay her respects?"

Fang Yun narrowed his eyes and continued to ask in a low voice.

Qingrong, standing behind her, answered without hesitation.

"If you reply to your Majesty, it will be four quarters of the hour."

Hearing this, Fang Yun curled his lips and glanced at Concubine Yang.

"I've only heard that pregnant women are stupid for three years, but I've never heard of pregnant women being stupid for three months. Concubine Yang said that I was late and neglected. For those who didn't know, I thought I was just a moment late. , it’s not just a moment early.”

When Fang Yun said this, his tone sounded like a joke, but his words were sharp.

Concubine Yang's expression changed slightly for a moment, and she was also unhappy.

However, she just focused on finding faults and didn't pay much attention to the fact that the time had not come yet. She was really wrong, so she changed the subject and raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen.

"I have been pregnant for just three months. Concubine Zhao has been pregnant once, so she naturally knows how hard it is to give birth. I also woke up early and vomited a lot. I forgot the time. How come Concubine Zhao's sister is still with me? It’s more serious.”

This look is a bit dependent on the pregnant belly and making excuses.

But Fang Yun asked her to light the fire now, but he didn't intend to let her get it so good. "Hey, what Sister Yang Fei said is interesting." Fang Yun chuckled, holding Qingrong's hand, slowly walked to his seat and sat down, "Why did my sister say that I am late, I am not being serious, I am After joking with my sister for a few times, it turns out to be serious in her mouth. Could it be that whether you are serious or not is determined by whether you have an imperial heir in your belly?"

After asking like this, without waiting for Concubine Yang to answer, Fang Yun glanced around the hall and curled his lips.

"You have all learned the lesson today. I am afraid that I will be unlucky. You should hurry up and imitate Concubine Yang. She is pregnant with the emperor's heir. She just says what she says and no one else can tell the difference."

She didn't bother to use Pei Yao to pressure Concubine Yang, and with just a few words, Concubine Yang's sarcastic look turned into surprise.

And when someone was laughing lowly, Concubine Yang also snorted rudely.

"Concubine Zhao is becoming more and more eloquent now. No wonder she was able to invite the emperor to leave in the imperial garden yesterday with just a few words. I think it is difficult for the emperor to conceive an heir, and he has to obey God's will. It is better to learn more from Concubine Zhao. The skill in talking and the lotus tongue can actually win a little more favor, Wan Lingyi, don't you think so?"

Wan Lingyi felt unhappy when her name was called, and she frowned slightly.

Calling her now is like two high-ranking concubines fighting and using her as a swordsman.

Although she hates Fang Yun in her heart, Wan Lingyi is not stupid either.

So he just whispered, "Concubine Zhao is good at observing the holy will and has a deep friendship with the emperor. Naturally, the emperor likes to hear whatever she says. I am not talented. I really need to learn more about how to serve the emperor well." .”

Concubine Yang was obviously not satisfied if she didn't get what she wanted, and was about to say something else.

Fang Yun took the lead and said, "Sister Concubine Yang is pregnant, so it's better to rest for a while. Don't worry if you feel uncomfortable when you go back later. We need to tell the emperor that it's us who are bothering her and tire her out." "

Her words blocked Concubine Yang's mouth.

He also reminded Concubine Yang, don't think about being a monster later and confusing right and wrong. Everyone here knows who picked the matter first.

At this time, the hour was almost up, and the queen walked out, holding her pregnant belly, surrounded by her maids.

When the queen arrived, everyone naturally stopped chatting and stood up to salute.

"No courtesy, please sit down." The queen was as gentle as ever, "Concubine Yang is pregnant. Did you get a soft pillow?"

Tim Mo bowed and said, "To tell you the truth, the soft pillows and cushions have been put away."

After hearing this, the queen nodded and got down to business.

"I believe that the army will be victorious. You all know that the letter of surrender was delivered from Shangyang Kingdom. This is a great event that the whole country celebrates. Now it happens to be in the first month of the year. I am thinking about the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first month of this year. We need to hold a good one and celebrate it."

"Your Majesty is right. Not long after the Emperor's filial piety period ended, there was another war between the two countries. Our palace has been busy one after another, but it has been a long time since it was lively."

Jinbin was the first to answer happily.

The queen also showed a gentle smile, "Yes, it's time to celebrate, but I'm pregnant now. How to handle this matter will require Concubine Zhao to work hard, but Concubine Zhao is also weak, and I have to take care of two imperial heirs, and also assist in the general affairs of the Sixth Palace. It would be too tiring to deal with the Lantern Festival matters."

When saying this, the queen turned her eyes to Fang Yun, not with the intention of forcing her, but with the intention of discussing.

Seeing this, Fang Yun smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your consideration. I'm not afraid of getting tired. I'm just afraid of making mistakes while busy and failing to host the banquet. However, there are other sisters in the harem who can help me. Why don't I just invite them?" Jinbin and Song Lingyi, please help me handle the Lantern Festival matters together."

The Queen originally planned to leave this matter to her, but now Fang Yun had her own plan and the candidate was suitable, so the Queen naturally had no objection.

Then he smiled and nodded.

Jinbin and Song Lingyi stood up and saluted.

Song Lingyi was fine, she was always close to Fang Yun, but Jinbin was extremely happy.

For her, it was like being on Concubine Zhao's boat, and she would be able to take advantage of it and be promoted to the throne in the future, just like Song Lingyi.

But in the eyes of Concubine Yang, all this was Fang Yun's opportunity to win over Gu Quan, and she felt even more resentful. (End of chapter)
