"Get up quickly, there's no need to be formal." Pei Yao smiled and waved his hand.

The queen's face was also gentle, "You have just given birth and your body is still weak. Please sit down quickly."

"Yes, I thank you, Your Majesty, the Queen." Fang Yun nodded slightly.

Behave in a very polite manner.

In addition to necessary cooperation and acting, Fang Yun has always shown himself to be abiding by the rules, knowing how to advance and retreat, and being dignified and steady.

Pei Yao likes sensible people, and Fang Yun has always been considerate and sensible.

I have been asking myself this way for many years, and the lies have become true.

The good thing is that there are no rumors inside or outside the palace that Concubine Zhao is pampered and arrogant.

If you want a good reputation, you have to take care of yourself.

Fang Yun handed the baby to the wet nurse and sat down in the eyes of everyone. This was the official start of the banquet.

Such a big day is naturally lively.

However, Fang Yun noticed with sharp eyes that Hu Daixu was not among the ministers' seats.

I remembered what I heard a few days ago. When Pei Yao was conferring meritorious titles, Hu Daixu took the initiative to bring up the crime of Concubine Wan, saying that he had no way to teach his sister. This time, the emperor was aware of it and did not involve his family. He was already grateful. For military merit, he was only considered guilty of meritorious service and did not dare to be awarded the title.

It must be because of this that I didn’t come to attend the seventh princess’s full moon banquet today.

But Hu Daixu was smart in doing so.

Although he gave up the military honors he had worked so hard to earn, he showed his loyalty to his subjects with a single sentence of apology, which also offset the minor sins implicated by Concubine Wan, and preserved everything at the moment.

He is capable and sensible now. Pei Yao has no estrangement or resentment towards him, so he will naturally continue to use him.

However, Hu Daixu was still somewhat tricked by his sister.

If Concubine Wan had not done what she had done, Hu Daixu's return this time would have allowed the Hu family to become a prominent family in Kyoto with his military exploits.

Now that the merits and demerits are equal, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity to make great contributions in the future.

pity.

Fang Yun thought to himself, raised his eyes and took a sip from the tea cup on the table.

It has always been like this in the palace, one wrong step, one wrong step after another, and it is a pity that Concubine Wan is not the only one.

The earliest He family, the later Yang family, the Qiu family, and the Xu family, all of them were included in the family if they were not noble girls.

Just looking at these precedents, Fang Yucai always abides by the rules.

Not only follow the rules, but also keep your heart.

At this moment, the place became lively.

Fang Yun raised his eyes and saw two palace maids in a row, holding red trays in their hands, filing in. On the red trays in their hands were beautifully arranged dishes, served on glass plates, which no one had ever seen before. dishes.

Even Pei Yao showed some interest.

"In previous years, the dishes for both large and small palace banquets were the same, but this time there is something new. Is it newly developed by the Imperial Kitchen?"

"Back to the emperor, this time the army returned to the court, they brought back some fresh things from Shangyang Kingdom. This dish was the royal chef in the palace. By chance, he was inspired by the cooking techniques of Shangyang Kingdom. The new dish was named Blessed and beautiful."

The queen smiled and explained the origin of the dish, and then said.

"Today the Seventh Princess is full moon. I think this dish will bring good fortune. I wish the Seventh Princess good fortune and a bright future in the future. I also wish that we, the Qi Dynasty, will be prosperous."

What he said was appropriate and beautiful, and Pei Yao nodded with a smile.

"The queen is very interested. The imperial dining room cooks well, thank you!" Pei Yao praised it so much. In addition, the dish was fresh and no one had tasted it before. For a while, they were all very interested.

Even if you don’t want to eat, you still have to use your chopsticks.

Fang Yue's confinement diet was light, and there was no fresh taste in his mouth for a long time. Naturally, he was very interested in seeing this new dish that was full of color, flavor and flavor.

I immediately picked up the chopsticks and prepared to taste it.

And just when she was about to put the dishes into her mouth, an urgent call suddenly came from the door of the hall.

"Don't eat it! The food is poisonous!"

This scream made everyone startled, and they subconsciously turned their attention to the door. Fang Yun also stopped his hands, frowned, quickly put the chopsticks back, and then looked at the door.

This look was surprising.

The person at the door turned out to be Yun Baolin.

How could she come?

What does poisonous food mean?

"What's going on? Who is messing around in front of the palace!" Pei Yao's face darkened and he scolded him coldly.

Hong Zheng narrowed his eyes and took a look, hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it seems to be Yun Baolin."

At this time, Yun Baolin had already ignored the obstruction of the two guarding eunuchs at the palace gate, rushed into the palace with all his strength, and fell to his knees on the ground.

"The food in your concubine's dishes is poisonous, your concubine cannot eat it!"

She said something shocking again, and the faces of the guests present suddenly changed.

The queen's expression changed at first, and then she said loudly, "What are you talking about? Today's banquet was organized by me myself, how could something like this happen! How did you know that the concubine's food was poisonous?!"

As the queen said, today's banquet was organized by her. If anything happened, she would be involved, especially now that Fang Yun was in a relationship with her. How could she poison someone and it was so obvious.

That's not asking for death.

But when the queen said this, her attention was all on Yun Baolin, and she didn't notice that Tian Mo's face, standing next to her, had begun to turn pale.

"Because of the poison, I personally put it into the imperial concubine's food!"

Yun Baolin gritted his teeth, turned his gaze to Pei Yao, and kowtowed several times.

"Your Majesty, the Queen intends to kill her mother and seize her son. She specially asks her eldest maid, Tian Mo, to bribe her concubines and poison Concubine Zhao at the Seventh Princess's full moon banquet. Then she asks her concubines to take over all the concubines in order to avenge their old master, the Yang family. The crime, in this way, the fourth prince can fall into the hands of the queen to raise, and the sixth princess born by the concubine will also be adopted by the queen. I deserve to die, lard is so heart-wrenching, I actually agreed to this matter, but today I think of that year When something happened to the Sixth Princess, the imperial concubine was kind to me, so I regretted it and didn't want to repay my kindness!"

With such an output, let alone Fang Yun, the queen was stunned.

After being stunned for a while, he hurriedly stood up and said to Pei Yao.

"Your Majesty, you can't believe what she says. I don't. My desperate intention to murder Concubine Zhao can be seen from heaven and earth. This matter is definitely not my fault!"

"I am a dying person, so I don't dare to lie. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can ask the imperial doctor to test the food of the imperial concubine. There is also her, and the emperor can interrogate her!"

Yun Baolin also seemed to be angry, with a death wish in his eyes, and pointed at Tian Mo.

It was a wonderful full moon banquet, but something like this suddenly happened, and Pei Yao's face became extremely gloomy.

Immediately ask the imperial doctor to come over and test the poison.

Fang Yun was still a little confused from the beginning to the present. With Qingrong and Yanwei protecting him, he didn't say a word and quickly analyzed everything that happened now in his mind.

Just looking at Yun Baolin's current state, it didn't look like he was lying at all, but the look on the queen's face was also extremely panicked and helpless, and she seemed to be surprised by the whole thing.

But people are good at putting on a show, knowing people, faces but not hearts. At this time, the Queen's suspicion cannot be easily ruled out. (End of chapter)
