Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

From Chu Yuan's mouth, Xia Keyu learned that in private, Song Congwen, the prefect of Xuanzhou, had been in close contact with Concubine Ning's mother's family, Taishifu, and exchanged many letters.

Xia Keyu nodded clearly, she had already guessed this matter.

Chu Yuan's eyes fell on Xia Keyu's face as white as glutinous rice flour, revealing a trace of warmth.

Xia Keyu stopped Song Anqing from being selected as the crown prince's concubine, but did not give any particularly suitable reasons.

When Chu Yuan told the queen, he said that he had already found out the matter, but it was too late to inform the people in the palace, so he had to ask Xia Keyu to come forward.

In this way, it seems reasonable that Xia Keyu would rather offend Concubine Ning than let Song Anqing lose the election.

If she was really an ignorant little fox, he would definitely think carefully about her and protect her for the rest of her life.

Chu Yuan wanted to take Xia Keyu to the palace banquet, but Xia Keyu stopped him:
"No, there are still people waiting to see my jokes in this drama."

Xia Keyu raised her toes and kicked a pebble casually. She raised her head with a sly smile and said, "I want to show up later and scare them~"

Chu Yuan's heart suddenly seemed to be soaked in a honey pot, and it was filled with sweetness.

He wanted to reach out and touch Xia Keyu's small nose, but finally held back and said solemnly: "Okay."

At the other end of the palace banquet, the emperor and the queen arrived one after another, followed closely by Concubine Ning Guifei.

The emperor glanced at the people present and saw Chu Yuan and Xia Keyu missing. He asked strangely: "Duke Chu did not come today?"

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, but in their hearts they were envious of the emperor's regard for Duke Chu. They even noticed immediately that he did not attend the banquet.

Only the prince answered: "Let me tell you, father, Duke Chu is probably entangled in other things."

Fortunately, the emperor didn't pay attention and just motioned for everyone to start the banquet first.

Seeing this, Concubine Ning smiled softly and said softly:

"Your Majesty, a new group of singers have recently been admitted to the palace. They can sing quite well. Would your Majesty want to order some songs?"

The emperor felt that he had paid too much attention to the queen and the prince recently, and had neglected his favorite concubine. Seeing this, he said with interest:
"Okay, just listen to my beloved concubine~"

This is also considered one of the emperor's balancing techniques.

Concubine Ning was not polite and ordered a play called "Flower Appreciation Time".That Xiao Dan really sang with great charm and won a big win:

"Cuifeng's feathers are tied with a broom and fork, and she walks on the gate of heaven to sweep the fallen flowers."

At the end of the song, Xiaodan was rewarded.

Concubine Ning paid no attention to the Queen Empress beside her, and ordered another piece of "Shanmen Parasitic Grass" sung by Xiaosheng. This song tells the story of Lu Zhishen's thoughts when he was expelled from Wenshu Monastery in Mount Wutai.

The Empress has long been accustomed to seeing Concubine Ning's various arrogance, as usual, she is graceful and luxurious, with a faint kind smile on the corner of her mouth.

After the two songs ended, the emperor looked at the woman beside the prince and personally advised the prince's concubine Ye Yitang:
"When you become the Crown Princess in the future, you must fully support the Crown Prince and be a good housekeeper so that he has no worries."

Ye Yitang hurriedly stepped forward to thank him.

The emperor glanced at Chu Qi beside the prince, frowned, and asked doubtfully:
"I heard that Shen Qinghuan, the daughter of Shen Dian, the chief minister of the Zhengyipin cabinet, was selected as the crown prince's concubine. Where is she?"

When the prince heard the emperor's question, he felt troubled and didn't know how to speak.

Shen Qinghuan also appeared before today's dinner, and many people saw it.At this time point, it is not appropriate to shirk Shen Qinghuan's illness.

If it is according to Xia Keyu's previous excuse that Shen Qinghuan was drunk and was taken back by himself.

A prince was openly drunk with his concubine, and even got drunk.If the emperor heard this, they would both be in great trouble.Concubine Ning Guifei, who was seated on the seat, flashed a hint of pride in her sharp and beautiful eyes. She had already heard from her servants that Xia Keyu was not deceived, but Shen Qinghuan, the side concubine of the crown prince, was deceived.

Before the prince got married, the prince's concubine lost her virginity before marriage and got involved with an actor. This was a huge royal scandal.

Besides, it's been a long time since that little bitch Xia Keyu showed up, maybe her affairs have been ruined.Xia Keyu was also taken there.

The more Concubine Ning thought about it, the more proud she became. Later she would see if the old witch Queen could still maintain her stiff smile.

The prince was hesitating about how to speak when he heard Ye Yitang beside him say with a smile:
"Your Majesty, if my daughter tells the truth, I hope your Majesty will not blame you."

After hearing this, the emperor became a little curious and said suspiciously: "Oh? Then report the truth quickly, I will never blame you."

The prince held his breath and stared at Ye Yitang, fearing that she would say something bad and take the opportunity to frame Shen Qinghuan.

Ye Yitang looked calm and said with a smile:

"Concubine Shen is a wonderful person. I told her that girls from the south of the Yangtze River are not good at drinking. She didn't believe it and insisted on competing with me. The younger daughter obeyed her and competed with her. However, after two glasses of wine, Concubine Shen fell drunk. Now, my servants are helping me go back to rest."

After speaking, he stood up and saluted, "I hope Your Majesty will not blame the little girl and Concubine Shen."

After hearing Ye Yitang's words, the emperor stroked his beard and laughed:

"You are a clever little kid. You northerners are good at drinking. How can a little girl know her? She was fooled by you."

Then he waved his hand and said, "Go back and sit down. I won't blame you."

The emperor liked to see the women in the harem harmonious, so he didn't take it seriously when it sounded like they were having a drinking contest.

The prince was relieved after hearing what Ye Yitang said.But the look he looked at Ye Yitang was a little more doubtful.

Why would she help Shen Qinghuan again and again?Didn't she know that Shen Qinghuan and her would be rivals for favor in the future?Could it be that it's to please yourself?

The prince was full of doubts for a moment, but no matter what, he was still very grateful to Ye Yitang for coming to the rescue.

While everyone was talking, they saw Chu Yuan walking in with Xia Keyu.

"I am late, I hope your majesty will forgive me~" Chu Yuan hurriedly saluted.

The emperor was in high spirits and didn't care at all. He just waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chu is late, so you have to punish yourself with three cups of wine."

Chu Yuan didn't shirk away and drank three glasses of wine by himself and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, okay." The emperor became more and more happy and took the lead in applauding.

Concubine Ning couldn't hide her disappointment when she saw Xia Keyu appearing safe and sound.But I can design Shen Qinghuan tonight.It’s considered good enough.

The palace banquet is still going on, and the actors are playing, playing and singing, which is very lively.

Concubine Ning silently glanced at the little eunuch beside her. Upon seeing this, the little eunuch hurriedly went out.

Suddenly, a palace maid stumbled in, her face full of panic, interrupting everyone's joy.

The emperor asked with a displeased look on his face: "What happened? That made you so panicked!"

The palace maid knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly in fright, pointed outside cautiously, and said: "Your Majesty, the palace is haunted."
