Queen's scheming

Chapter 160 Palace Banquet ([-])

Li Tianyou and Shen Qingyi divided the two tables and began to give wine. Li Tianyou deliberately chose the right seat where Gu Yiran was, so as not to embarrass Shen Qingyi and Gu Yiran. In this way, the embarrassing person became Tang Aoxue, because the chief on the left was not someone else , it is Tang Aoxue's proud origin, Zhen Guogong's mansion.

This wine given by the emperor and the empress is similar to the toast to the bride and groom in civil marriages. The difference is that Li Tianyou and Shen Qingyi stepped down from the chief executive to share the joy with the people. The empress only needs to take a sip, and the guests must be satisfied Drinking is considered a respect to the emperor.

Tang Aoxue looked at her parents and elder brother, drinking one by one, flattering and smiling at Shen Qingyi, while she was like a slave, servile and humble behind Shen Qingyi, Tang Aoxue's pride and nobility were instantly destroyed by Shen Qingyi It shattered like foam, and the eye sockets were slightly red.

With a cordial smile, Shen Qingyi said in a harmonious voice: "It's rare for Concubine Xue to meet the people in the Duke's residence, so I'll talk here for a while and pass the wine to Yu Lian."

Tang Aoxue didn't feel half grateful for Shen Qingyi's understanding. On the contrary, if she wanted to talk to her family, she had to look at Shen Qingyi's face. How could she bear it? On the table in the mansion, she was so wronged that she almost shed tears, she just supported herself, not wanting to dirty her delicate makeup.

Yu Lian waited beside Shen Qingyi, and asked in a low voice with some annoyance: "What's wrong with your mother? Concubine Xue just now clearly intended to trip her up. If she hadn't been alert and dodged her, my son wouldn't know what to do at this moment." How? Why did you let her go so easily and let her have a family relationship with her family? "

Shen Qingyi put her hands on her lower abdomen, and said with a slight smile: "It's fine if it's someone else, but for Concubine Xue, this punishment is enough!"

"It's just that she almost fell, so it's considered punishment? The servant hasn't done anything yet?" Yu Lian said angrily.

What kind of thing is Tang Aoxue? She is even more annoying than Shen Qingwan back then. She is obviously a concubine, and she insists on pretending how noble she is. When she looks at her mother's eyes, she dares to show contempt. I really don't know how much I am. It's a few pounds, but she's an old girl that no one wants, and she's the fate of Kefu. If her mother-in-law hadn't promoted her into the palace, she would either marry an old man to fill the house, or be an aunt to others. How honorable I am.

Shen Qingyi took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and there was still some distance from the table in Fuguo Duke's Mansion, so she cast a sideways glance at Yu Lian and said, "You girl is so powerful, you really can't mess with anyone."

"A lot of things don't just look at the surface. She almost fell down. It was her own fault. She was ridiculed like this by others. It would be fine if others were around. But Tang Aoxue thinks of herself as a noble person and always shows her perfect side. Today, she has suffered such a big humiliation. It's sad, but what makes her feel the most uncomfortable is not because of this, but because of serving at Bengong's side in front of the civil and military courts, which makes her unacceptable, you are about to cry without looking at her Is it?" Shen Qingyi straightened the jade pendant with five blessings holding hearts on the skirt and said.

Yu Lian curled her lips, and said disdainfully: "Concubine Xue said it nicely, she is a second-rank concubine, and she said it clearly, but she is just an aunt, and letting her serve by her side is still giving her great face. , There are many concubines who want to serve the empress, but she seems to have been wronged greatly, and she still has the face to cry! Empress, you should punish her for disrespect!"

"She is the real younger sister of the former empress, so naturally she doesn't want to be subordinated to others, besides, she is such a master of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that she doesn't know anything about it." Shen Qingyi did it on purpose today, Tang Aoxue's proud temperament must be suppressed Otherwise, it will be a disaster in the end. She just wants to let Tang Aoxue understand her identity in front of the officials and concubines.

Shen Qingyi glanced behind her and said: "It's better for her to meet the people in the palace than for her to visit relatives and go back to Duke Zhen. In the future, you must be more vigilant about Zhaoyang Palace, that noble Concubine Xue Temperament, I am not at ease!"

Yu Lian nodded, her eyes lit up, as if she was gearing up for something.Shen Qingyi couldn't help exhorting: "After all, she is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, the younger sister of the former empress, don't go too far, if Concubine Xue catches you, it won't be easy for me to keep you .”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have been doing errands for so long, but I have never made any mistakes!" Yulian said with a charming smile.

Shen Qingyi thought about it and it was true. Although Yu Lian said she was fussy, she had never made a mistake, but because of her fussy temper, she did a lot of happy things, so she didn't say anything, and smiled at Fuguo. The seats of the government go face to face.

Fu Guogong and his wife were old and did not attend, Fu Guogong's son and Shi Zifei took the younger generation to sit at the banquet. Seeing Shen Qingyi coming, they all saluted and greeted him.

Shen Qingyi gave the wine according to the rules, and gently pulled the hand of the concubine Fu Guogong, "It seems that the concubine is a little lighter, but is it because of being too tired?" Shen Qingyi swept the concubine behind the concubine , Concubine girls, said softly.

Fuguogong's mansion has a large population, most of which are the credit of Fuguogong's son. There are a lot of aunts and concubines. He handed over the affairs of the Fuguo Duke's residence to the concubine Shizi, and the two lived a peaceful life.

The concubine of Fuguo Duke also has no choice but to take the lustful son, but only grabs the succession of her son Mi Chenghong to death, and ignores the few concubines. Marrying with other mansions for a day will not harm her own status. Mi Yurou is a model taught by the crown prince. She does things in a well-regulated manner, talks about everything according to the rules, and never extravagantly asks for things that do not belong to her.

The concubine Shizi sighed softly and said: "Such a big family, you have to take care of it. If one is not paying attention, if something unseemly happens, the responsibility of the minister's wife will be great. Just like Cheng Ming That child, the prince has blamed his wife for a long time."

Although Shen Qingyi is a queen, but in terms of seniority, the concubine is still her elder, and it is impossible to let herself take care of the elder's affairs. For a capable person like Concubine Shizi, Shizi has saved a lot of heart!"

After Shen Qingyi finished speaking, she was about to move forward, but she faintly felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be a very familiar figure behind Shi Zifei, but she kept her head down.

"Which one is that wearing the apricot red shirt? I don't seem to have seen it before." Shen Qingyi pointed to the woman behind Shizi Concubine who always lowered her eyebrows and said.

The concubine Shizi followed Shen Qingyi's slender fingers and said with a smile: "The empress is really good at remembering, that is Cheng Hongxinna's Aunt Yu!"

"Yu Niang, don't hurry up and come here to greet the empress!" The concubine Shi Zi gently waved her hand and said in a warm voice.

The woman called Yuniang seemed to be shaken and moved slowly. Although she didn't raise her head, Shen Qingyi could clearly see that it was...
