It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

Chapter 39 What’s the difference between us?
  After all, he came from the Grand Master's House. Although he was a little loose-mouthed, he still had a good mind and knew how to avoid his sharp edges and take advantage of them slowly.

But the next second, when she heard Cai Mingyi tell someone to secretly saw off Jiang Changzai's chair so that she would be embarrassed and make a fool of herself, Grandma Rong knew that she had thought too much. This Concubine Ming didn't have any more brains. The belt is long.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this," Nanny Rong tried to persuade her, covering her chest. "If Jiang Changzai makes any mistakes at your Majesty's banquet, I'm afraid the Holy One will blame your Majesty for everything."

Cai Mingyi cursed in a low voice, "Everything is my fault, the emperor is also a brainless person."

Aunt Rong almost lost her breath and carried it back. We are asking whether you came to the palace because you admire the emperor or because you just want to take your whole family to death.

"The empress who is hosting this banquet is here to observe whether there are any concubines that can be used by us. Secondly, she also wants to know from a positive perspective that Xia Jiang is always here. Remember not to act rashly, empress."

Grandma Rong was so worried that she couldn't even break it apart or crush it into pieces, but she still had to feed it down her throat.

Cai Mingyi nodded reluctantly, "I know, grandma, go make arrangements."

After the news of Concubine Ming's banquet came out, all the concubines speculated on Concubine Ming's intention. A smart person could think that Concubine Ming intended to win over everyone, but after all, Concubine Qi had the highest status in the harem. If the two of them were together, How should I stand in line?

But the good news is that Concubine Qi saved them from such worries. After the latter heard from the palace officials that Jiang Chang had agreed to attend Concubine Ming's banquet, she immediately put aside her physical discomfort and stopped joining in the fun.

Concubine Qi didn't think much about anything. She simply didn't want to wipe Jiang Simian's ass. She could move her toes and think that this person might cause some trouble if she left. Besides, Concubine Ming was nothing. Don't worry, if the two of them fight, I, the imperial concubine, will have to deal with it.

The emperor is now clearly favoring Jiang Changzai. Even if he does have a conflict with Concubine Ming, he has no way to get the best of both worlds. It will only make both parties dissatisfied. Again, he is not the queen to care about so many things. What to do? If it really doesn’t work, the imperial concubine won’t do it herself.

Concubine Qi thought very well. As long as she didn't go, everything would be fine. If she had anything to do, she would go to the emperor or the queen mother, but she would never be able to find her who was ill.

It's a pity that the human concubine Cai Mingyi is not like ordinary people. As soon as Concubine Qi sent someone to reject her, she was resented by Cai Mingyi.

"Humph, what kind of concubine? She is just a woman with no identity or status. If she hadn't been with the Holy Sage earlier, and the Holy Sage gave her the position of a noble concubine because of old feelings, who does she think she is? How dare she refuse me? I will wait for me in the future. When we are on an equal footing with her, she will not have an easy time.”

Nanny Rong next to her had a casual attitude, let's destroy it together, even though Cai Mingyi complained.

She had no ability to take care of Concubine Ming's mouth. The only thing she could do was to drive the others out and let her complain to herself, who was standing like a wooden stake in the empty room.

Knowing that Concubine Qi would not attend, everyone became much more motivated. After all, Concubine Ming had the highest score at the entire banquet. As long as she was pleased, she was not afraid of offending others.

At this time, the Qingyuan Hall was faced with two atmospheres.

On one side, Yuan Qifeng was indifferent, on the other side, Ruan Lian was worried.

"Anyway, Concubine Ming must have bad intentions in hosting the banquet this time. Why don't you just stay away like Concubine Qi?" Ruan Lian tried her best to persuade her.

Yuan Qifeng asked Chun'er to twist his hair and said nonchalantly: "She's just a concubine. There's nothing to be afraid of. Besides, it's not that Concubine Qi won't go because she's afraid of her."

"Yes, Ruan promised. If the young lady doesn't go, others will definitely say that she is afraid of Concubine Ming," Chun'er also said to help.

Recently, Ruan promised to treat his young lady more exaggeratedly than he did, and Chun'er couldn't help but feel a sense of career crisis. Ruan Lian couldn't help but sit on the chair resignedly and sighed.

"Okay, the big deal is as long as she doesn't mess with me and I don't beat her up." Yuan Qifeng was annoyed by her.

Seeing how well Qianjie was taken care of by her recently, she was somewhat relieved.

"My ancestor, you must not beat her. She is the direct granddaughter of Academician Cai." Ruan Lian was startled.

"So what, my lady is still the eldest daughter of the great general." Chun'er couldn't help but retort. She couldn't bear to hear others say that her lady was not good at all.

"That's right." Yuan Qifeng gave Chun'er an encouraging look, "The general holds military power, and his status is actually the same as that of Grand Scholar Cai."

Ruan Lian said speechlessly, "The general and the bachelor are on the same level. You and Concubine Ming are separated. She is the concubine and you are always there. There is such a big difference. I really don't know what the Holy One thinks, but he doesn't give me anything." If you get promoted, isn't it clear that you will be bullied?"

Yuan Qifeng was speechless for a moment. How should he tell her that besides being annoyed by not being promoted, there was also the fact that when General Jiang took his eldest son to guard the border, he told her to protect Jiang Simian, but he could not give it to her. A high position, to prevent her from being harmed, as long as she can wait for her triumphant return in the harem.

As for why he must send his daughter to the palace, the general thought that if he did not come back, the emperor would take care of Jiang Simian for the sake of his loyalty to protect the emperor and sacrifice his life for the country. It would be better than having his daughter guard the general alone in the future. The government is entrusted with inhuman strength.

But these are the secrets of Yuan Qifeng and the general. Even Jiang Simian doesn't know, let alone tell Ruan Lian.

"Anyway, I won't be bullied. If you're worried, why not stay here in Qingyuan Hall to take care of Ah Jin," Yuan Qifeng suggested.

Ruan Lian was speechless. Who would be so kind as to name a pot of golden oranges Ajin?

"No, I'd better go with you, otherwise I have to worry about you all the time," Ruan Lian sighed.

After cleaning up, the two of them took their maids and rushed to the banquet.

Yes, to this day, these two people still only have one personal maid, not even a little eunuch to serve them.

Yuan Qifeng was somewhat better. Ruan Lian took good care of him after he took refuge. Ruan Lian's personal maid also adapted quickly and often competed with Chun'er for work.

I don’t know when, but everyone in the Qingyuan Hall was living in harmony and beauty.

When the two came to Deyang Palace, they saw more than a dozen maids and eunuchs busy inside and outside Deyang Palace.

"I'm so envious, look at this person," Ruan Lian couldn't help but say. Once upon a time, she had had such a dream.

"If you keep performing well, you will have a chance in the future." Yuan Qifeng meant something. In fact, he meant that he could send Ruan Lian out of the palace to reward her with a bunch of people waiting on her.
