She favors the Sixth Palace again

Chapter 42 His Majesty will not come
After Ye Wan sat down at the birthday banquet, everyone in the palace had their own thoughts, but they no longer had the same spirit of competing with me to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

The Queen Mother could not see the thoughts of the young women in the harem, so she was not displeased at all. She just looked at the "Ma Gu's Birthday" dance specially composed for her with a smile on her face.

The queen mother glanced at Ning Zhao from the corner of her eye, but Ning Zhao remained calm, with the same smile on his face.

From this aspect, she did make the right choice.

Ning Zhao is a candidate for the emperor.

But, how could an emperor who didn't share her heart tolerate her in the future?
The Queen Mother's eyes returned to the group of beautiful beauties, her eyes darkened slightly.

The birthday banquet came to an end amidst the outward cheers and laughter. The Queen Mother stood up holding the hand that picked up the colorful flowers, and looked at Ning Zhao with a smile: "The Ai family is old and has no energy as you young people, so go and rest yourself; don't be sad either. If your family disturbs your mood, just have fun, no need to be restrained today."

"Today is a birthday celebration for the Queen Mother. How can we have fun on our own?" Peng Qingyin said with a smile, "I will accompany the Queen Mother back home."

"You do have a filial piety," the Queen Mother patted her hand gently and said affectionately, "You are detained in Cining Palace every day, so there is no need to delay you. The Ai family is also happy today and does not need you to serve."

The Queen Mother looked at Ning Zhao with a smile as she spoke: "Today's birthday banquet was very good, and the Ai family is very happy. This is all because of His Majesty's intention and Concubine De's hard work."

The meaning is beyond words.

Ning Zhao smiled naturally and said: "Concubine De has always done things very appropriately. No wonder the queen likes her."

"The Guangai family will not like Concubine De's appearance." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Queen Mother!"

Under the gaze of everyone, even though Peng Qingyin had always been solemn and self-possessed, her cheeks could not help but feel hot now, and she shyly called out to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother looked at her shy look with pink face and peach cheeks, and smiled slightly - very good.

"Okay, you young people are thin-skinned, so let's not talk about the Ai family." The Queen Mother laughed again and helped Shi Cai to leave.

Is there anyone in this full hall who really comes to watch the singing and dancing or to have fun?
The Queen Mother's words just now made it clear where the Emperor was going tonight.

How can the concubines in the palace have any thoughts to "please" here anymore? They sat in a formal manner throughout the banquet, their backs and legs were sore and their bodies were exhausted. Now that even the Queen Mother has left, what are they still doing here?Moreover, it would be even worse if the Queen Mother or the Concubine De misunderstood that they wanted to compete with the Concubine De for their favor.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager's departure took only a moment of burning incense, but all the concubines in the palace were gone.

At the banquet, Yun Yuwei kept pretending to be a transparent person - there were no near misses today, and at least the day passed smoothly.

She had always been afraid that the Queen Mother would use her as a raft at the birthday banquet and cause some trouble with Ning Zhao, but she had practiced it with Bai Su many times in private.

Now it seems that she has gone astray.

Naturally, the Queen Mother's methods would not be simple and crude to embarrass her at the birthday banquet. It was not only Ning Zhao who had to perform the scene of "mother's kindness and son's filial piety", but also the Queen Mother.

For a woman in the harem, the most important thing is the emperor's favor.

What Ye Wan and the Queen Mother said before they left the table were the Queen Mother's true intentions towards Yun Yuwei tonight.

Yun Yu slightly looked at Ye Wan, who was dressed in old clothes and had a respectful expression, thoughtfully - the Queen Mother wanted to lift Ye Wan's grounding, but it couldn't be easier. Why bother to go through such a fuss at her birthday banquet? out?
"Your Majesty." Ye Wan noticed Yun Yuwei's gaze and nodded to her humbly.

The jealousy towards Yun Yuwei in the past, the domineering attitude she showed because of her unwillingness, and all the nastiness and hatred between the two of them, all seemed to have disappeared during the days of her confinement.

Yun Yuwei nodded expressionlessly and looked away.Seeing her like this, Ning Zhao became increasingly uneasy - the reason that made Yun Yu Wei take the risk and fake his own death in the first place was because of Lan Xiang's death.Lan Xiang's death was the fault of Ye Wan.

Although he knew in his heart that Yun Yuwei finally chose to stay in the palace, it was not because he set up Ye Wan, but because of Qin Xishi who was about to enter the palace; but he had made his attitude clear in the end, and now, this is considered What's going on?
The Queen Mother left the banquet, the Emperor was not interested, and the banquet soon broke up.

"Your Majesty, you should go this way." Seeing Ning Zhao's footsteps heading towards Fengze Palace, Defu had no choice but to remind him.

Ning Zhao glanced at Defu, and Defu's scalp suddenly felt numb.

"When did I get someone's turn to point out where I'm going?" Ning Zhao's voice was cold.

Defu knelt down with a pop: "This slave is guilty."

Ning Zhao snorted and moved forward.

After walking two or three steps, seeing that Defu was still kneeling on the spot and not daring to get up, he let out a "tsk" and said impatiently: "Why don't you come here quickly!"

Only then did Defu get up and trot along to catch up.

Seeing that Ning Zhao was determined to go to Fengze Palace, Defu only complained in his heart, but did not dare to say too much - the emperor's young mother was strong, which was prone to trouble; what's more, these two people today, Not even biological mother and son.Although Emperor Hengchang ascended the throne thanks to the support of the Empress Dowager, that was before he ascended the throne. Now that Emperor Hengchang is the emperor, he is still suppressed by the Empress Dowager and cannot hold his head up. How can the emperor be content?

Defu was still racking his brains thinking about how to dissuade him, but Ning Zhao stopped in his tracks.

Fengze Palace was in sight, but Ning Zhao stopped moving forward.

what's the point?
When he arrives at Fengze Palace, should he tell Yun Yuwei his helplessness again?Please ask Yun Yuwei to forgive him for his helplessness as an emperor, then leave Yun Yuwei and go to another woman in front of her?

He can't.

The summer night wind blew the corners of Ning Zhao's clothes, and he stood there, looking at Fengze Palace quietly.

The young king's eyes were deep, and his stern face seemed to blend into the dark night. He was like a stone statue, motionless.

"His Majesty……"

"Let's go to Changle Palace."

Ning Zhao suddenly spoke, and there was no emotion in his voice; he turned around and left in stride.

In Fengze Palace, Bai Zhi and Bai Su were serving Yun Yu to remove her hairpin and wipe off her makeup.

"Our queen is so beautiful today," Bai Zhi said happily, "She is the most beautiful among all the beauties. Isn't it our queen?"

"It's a pity that Your Majesty doesn't like these things on weekdays," Bai Zhi said, the more she looked in the mirror, the more regretful she felt, "His Majesty may be coming later in the evening, why not wait for a while to change clothes and take off makeup?"

Bai Su's quick movements suddenly paused, and he secretly gave Bai Zhi a wink.

Bai Zhi was thinking inexplicably when she saw Yun Yu in the mirror showing a faint smile.

"His Majesty will not be coming to Fengze Palace today." She sighed softly, "You should pack up earlier and have a rest."
