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

Chapter 41 Don’t beat me
  Cai Mingyi was shocked. This fight is not over yet. Do you still want to eat? !

At this time, Yuan Qifeng had a confused expression on his face, "Could it be that Concubine Ming had a grudge against a palace maid and left us all here to starve?"

As soon as these words came out, other concubines in the crowd also showed dissatisfied looks on their faces. That is to say, you came to the banquet by yourself. What kind of conflicts do you want to have? You are stumbling in private. A good banquet keeps people standing. Figure out what's going on.

Seeing Cai Mingyi's expression dim and uncertain, Grandma Rong knew that she was going to do something bad again, so she had no choice but to go against the rules once, gently hold her hand, and take a few steps forward.

"Jiang Chang is joking. The purpose of this banquet is to unite the concubines in the harem, so that everyone can take care of each other and serve the Lord together in the future. How could you be angry with a palace maid who doesn't understand the rules? The empress is just feeling unwell today, so for a while I just can’t react.”

Yuan Qifeng nodded, "Ming Fei, look at how good you are. There are so many people around you to serve you. Some people cause trouble for you, and some people explain it to you. You are a good old grandma, despite your age. What you say is to make people feel comfortable. Otherwise, having an old man in this palace is like having a treasure. It’s good to have this elderly grandma to help you. I really envy you for having such a good grandma."

Facing Yuan Qifeng, who emphasized the pronunciation of the old woman, Grandma Rong almost lost her composure. Everyone knew that people in the palace, especially these grandmothers, did not like to be called old. Jiang Chang was here Fortunately, I am an old nanny, for fear that others will think that I am not old enough.

Some of the concubines couldn't help but laugh out loud, making Concubine Ming and Aunt Rong look uglier than after eating shit.

Yuan Qifeng rolled his eyes angrily and ignored them. Others may not know that as an emperor, Yuan Qifeng still has memories of the two personal nuns beside the Queen Mother. At this time, he saw Aunt Rong in Mingfei. When the people around her spoke for her, they knew that Concubine Ming had already joined the Queen Mother's camp. How could the old nanny still have a treasure? He couldn't bear to kill her.

Just when Cai Mingyi couldn't help but want to flip the table, Concubine Qi came.

From the moment she entered the Deyang Palace, she could feel the breath of fighting in the air, and Concubine Qi sighed heavily.

Originally, I was staying well in the palace, planning to eat some pastries, read a book, and then rest early. However, before the pastries had tasted, Ruan promised that the little girl next to him would come running to find him.

Normally, let alone Ruan's promise to the girl next to him, Ruan promised that he would have to wait at the palace gate if he wanted to see Concubine Qi. Whether he would see Concubine Qi or not would depend on Concubine Qi's mood.

But because of Jiang Simian, Concubine Qi raised the importance of the entire Qingyuan Palace and told the palace officials that anyone from the Qingyuan Palace could be brought in directly.

So this time, the girl Lanhua, whom Ruan promised, came to find her.

"My Lady, Ruan promised to send a slave to find you. Please go to Deyang Palace to help Jiang Changzai." Lanhua said anxiously, because it was the first time she came to Concubine Qi's Lingxiu Palace, and Lanhua got lost twice on the road. She was afraid that After wasting time, I wished I could grab Concubine Qi and run over.

"Don't worry, Jiang Changzai can't bear the loss." Concubine Qi was afraid that the maid in front of her would be anxious to death again in front of her, so she comforted her.

"You don't know, Ruan agreed because he was afraid that Jiang Changzai would beat Concubine Ming," Lanhua said nervously.

On the way, Lanhua told Concubine Qi what happened at the gate of Deyang Palace. The latter decided to go to the emperor tomorrow to apply for self-demotion, otherwise she would really die from exhaustion dealing with these things.

Why can't Jiang Chang Zai save himself some peace of mind? And the new Ming Fei, who doesn't even know how to discipline a servant, actually made rude remarks in front of Chang Zai. Isn't that asking for a beating?

At this time, Concubine Qi had completely forgotten how she was biased when Chun'er and Ruan agreed to fight not long ago. After Concubine Qi arrived, the tense atmosphere in Deyang Palace was relieved. Aunt Rong breathed a sigh of relief. The concubine is here, so the quarrel can no longer continue.

Unexpectedly, Cai Mingyi, who was still angry, asked directly, "Isn't the imperial concubine ill? Why can she suddenly come to the banquet?"

Behind her, Grandma Rong almost choked to death on her own saliva. She might as well have just swallowed that breath and died.

Concubine Qi frowned slightly, "Concubine Ming also has the emperor's permission, can I greet you without being polite?"

Only then did Cai Mingyi realize that she had exceeded the rules, and quickly saluted Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi unceremoniously took the seat at the head of the table and said, "I am also hungry. If Concubine Ming, you have nothing else to say, why don't you start the banquet quickly?"

Cai Mingyi didn't suffocate to death. Is the emperor depriving you of your money? Why are you all acting like starving ghosts? One is being served while the other is getting out of the way. Is this the point? Isn't the point of a banquet supposed to be forming cliques and sharing your heart with others? , are you two really here for dinner?
  Thanks to the bachelor's genes, Cai Mingyi maintained her last bit of sanity, so she was able to grit her teeth and let people serve the food and prepare to start the banquet.

But this banquet has been completely ruined by Yuan Qifeng, and even the seats that Cai Mingyi had specially designed before were also messed up.

Concubine Qi took the main seat, Jiang Changzai took the left seat, and she, the concubine, only took the right seat in her main hall.

The problem is that all the concubines seemed to be blind and didn't see it. No one raised any questions, as if Jiang Changzai should have been sitting in that seat.

After the food arrived, Yuan Qifeng tasted it casually and commented, "It's not as delicious as the one prepared by the Queen Mother."

Cai Mingyi was going crazy. Isn't this nonsense? She was a concubine. How could the banquet be as high as that of the Queen Mother?
  Taking advantage of the opportunity to pick up the food, Concubine Qi got a little closer to Yuan Qifeng and whispered: "Eat your food well and avoid causing trouble."

Yuan Qifeng responded casually and continued to eat selectively.

The concubines only drank some fruit wine and flower wine, which was not very high in alcohol content, so it was almost when Yuan Qifeng was full that no one dared to raise their hand to speak under the influence of wine.

"Ming Fei, thank you for hosting a banquet for us. Your Majesty is extremely noble and cannot be matched by those who have no rules. Please allow me to offer you a drink." Le Bin stood up and said as she was drunk and her head was hot.

Cai Mingyi was elated by what she said, and when she was about to raise her glass, the unruly person the concubine called her placed the glass heavily on the table.

There was a clang, and the whole table shook. Le Bin, who had stood up to propose a toast, suddenly sobered up and sat down on the ground in fright, covering her head like a reflex.

Woohoo, don't hit me.
