Chapter 856
The venue of the banquet was set in the Yuzhen Palace of Concubine Shu.

In the elegant and magnificent hall, several copper candlesticks are flickering lonely in the corner, and the sandalwood incense is curling up in the green-glazed suanni incense burner, accompanied by the charming chatting and laughing of the women, adding a bit of fairy-like mist feeling.

Ye Lizhi stood at the door, sniffing silently, and didn't notice anything tricky in the scent that drifted by, before he took a step and walked in.

Seeing her appearance, the beautiful and beautiful women immediately stopped talking, stood up one after another, and saluted respectfully:

"Greetings to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

Compared with the beautifully dressed and gorgeous concubines, Ye Lizhi looked too 'simple'. Outside the plain tube top, she only wore a white magnolia flower gauze dress. Simply embellished with a white jade hairpin with red coral beads and double-knotted ruyi hairpin, it looks elegant and generous.

But this distinctive 'simplicity' makes her stand out from the crowd.

Concubine Shu sneaked a glance, feeling unhappy, and then quietly glanced behind her, seeing that no second big man appeared, her soft and delicate lips twitched, and she pretended to be puzzled and said:

"Why did only the empress come here alone, didn't your majesty come with the empress?"

But it turned out that everyone dressed up so grandly, not to welcome the arrival of her new queen, but to show 'their' His Majesty.

The smile on Ye Lizhi's face remained unchanged, and he said:
"That's right. Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so how would the concubine dare to bother him with such a trivial matter?"

Eating with them is called 'this little thing'? !

Oh, no wonder, she is now a 'Queen Empress', so naturally she looks down on these 'little fish and shrimp'.

Concubine Shu smiled coldly in her heart, but said with a worried expression:

"Eating is certainly a 'trivial matter', but the empress is pregnant and needs special care. How can your majesty rest assured that the empress will come out alone?"

He said it as if An Ruhui didn't care about Ye Lizhi's life at all.

Zi Qian moved his lips, wanting to tell this group of women who say grapes are sour when they can't eat grapes: their mothers never told His Majesty about this, okay!When His Majesty comes back and finds that the Empress is missing, he will definitely find it by himself!
Ye Lizhi waved his hand and said indifferently:
"Not all the people around me are dead, so why do you have to let His Majesty come and take care of you in person? Could it be that in your eyes, His Majesty is just a servant with the same status as a palace servant, and you need to serve me instead? ?”

Concubine Shu was startled, and quickly retorted:
"The concubine never said that! The concubine is just, just..."

Before she could "just" come here, Ye Lizhi had already come to the main seat and sat down on his own.

In the flickering candlelight, her indifferent and haughty profile was reflected.

She said lightly:

"You don't need to be too polite, come and sit down."

Concubine Shu bit her lower lip unwillingly, she was stillborn before she could think about her retaliation, she could only secretly roll her eyes in her heart, and sat down with her sisters with a feeling of displeasure.

Seeing that Concubine Shu was deflated, before the food was served, Concubine Ning was the second to go into battle with a knife, sighed, and said with emotion:
"It's really not what it used to be, things are different and people are different. Sister Chen's queen position is now in Sister Ye's pocket. I wonder how Sister Chen feels after hearing the news?"

It's disrespectful for her to call the Chen family who has been thrown into the cold palace as 'sister', but call Ye Lizhi, who has a higher status than them, no matter how long she has stayed in the palace, as 'sister'!

What's more, "Sister Chen's Queen's position" is clearly mocking Ye Lizhi for taking someone else's seat, and she shamelessly replaced it!
Ye Lizhi's bright red lips curled up, and her beautiful eyes were filled with Gu Pansheng, and she said with a smile:
"If Ning Guifei wants to tell her, I can help you achieve her wish. A person who is willing to recognize the abandoned concubine in the cold palace as her sister must also want to be a part of it. I will remember to go with your majesty to help Ning Guifei Said."

Concubine Ning Guifei's complexion changed, she raised her hand and patted her mouth lightly with a quick reaction, and said with a dry smile:
"Look at this concubine's mouth, it always slips out some things that shouldn't be said. Ye Mei...the queen empress has a lot of people, so she won't care about me, right?"

"There are naturally a lot of adults in this palace," Ye Lizhi accepted her compliment without any politeness, and said slowly:
"But the large number of adults also depends on the target. If the other party is ignorant and offends me repeatedly, even if I don't want to care about it, the servants around me will be indignant and will say a few more words in front of His Majesty full of righteous indignation. This, But it’s beyond my control, Concubine Ning Gui, don’t you think so?”

threaten!This is the threat of Chi Guoguo!
Concubine Ning Guifei's dry smile was about to turn into a smirk, she covered her mouth in resentment and coughed lowly, and then she didn't make another sound.

The dishes are served one by one.

Ye Lizhi picked up the silver chopsticks and prepared to eat.

She is the biggest at this table, and only after she moves the first chopsticks can the others move.

Unexpectedly, Ziqian stretched out his hand to block her chopsticks, and whispered anxiously:
"Niang Niang, our people haven't tested this dish yet, you..."

"It's nothing," Ye Lizhi heard, but pressed down her hand generously, deliberately speaking in a volume that everyone at the table could hear:

"Don't tell me that I am a queen, and I am pregnant with a dragon fetus. Who would dare to poison the dishes and murder me at the risk of exterminating the nine clans? Besides, everyone sitting here is my good sister. , everyone is 'kind-hearted and kind to others', how could they do such an ugly thing that kills people's lives and disregards morality and conscience? Is what I said right, sisters?"

The concubines laughed together and replied absent-mindedly: "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

They want to poison!
But not now, after all, if poison is poisoned on this table, they are too suspected of being murderers. They were invited by Concubine Shu. If something happens to the empress, she will stay at the same table to eat together on the person.

So in order to avoid suffering for themselves, these women had already discussed with Ye Lizhi before inviting Ye Lizhi to come - don't tamper with the food!
Anyway, even if she is allowed to give birth to a child in an easy manner, it is difficult to calculate her, but it is very easy to calculate a milk doll who can't even speak!
The women exchanged a tacit look, and picked up the silver chopsticks to eat.

Compared with the lively conversation and laughter at the beginning, the atmosphere at this moment has become depressing and unbearable.

After a few sips, the women lost their appetite.

They didn't come here for dinner, but they thought that if they could gain the honor of the queen, they might be able to see His Majesty the Emperor tonight and perform well in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor didn't come tonight.

Since they had no chance to express themselves, they could only let the empress do a good job of 'performing' in front of them in order to vent their anger.
