General, please stay

Chapter 78 Reception
"Does it have to be like this? Even the day the general took a concubine... there was no such thing." Qi Gui couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

Nanny Jin also lowered her voice, and said: "Then how can it be the same? The princess doesn't know that at such a reception, everyone wears heavy makeup. The princess is the mistress, and Yu Li should not be inferior. Besides, the princess is so beautiful. gone."

Qi Gui turned around and asked Yan Junxing, "Is it good-looking?"

Yan Junxing didn't know why, but felt that she was very pleased with her appearance, like a child stealing something from an adult to use.He held it back for a long time, but finally he couldn't hold back his smile, he showed his white teeth and said with a smile, "It's pretty, her face is like a monkey's butt."

Qi Gui glared at him angrily.

Jin Nao smiled awkwardly and said, "Princess, let's go."

Qigui nodded.Queen Yan and the concubines are also coming today, so she can't go too late.Have to wait to pick up the driver.

When she went out, there were two maids leading the way in front of her.Then there are Jin Momo and Geng Momo on both sides, and behind them are Xiaomi and Lan'er Baihe.and four other maids.

Obviously, if you just walk around in your own yard, you have to bring a large group of people with you.

The reception has already started.You can even smell the aroma of wine from a distance.

At this time, someone sang loudly: "Madam Marquis Wu has arrived—"

The crowd fell silent immediately.After all, Qi Gui is the first of the wives and the hostess.Therefore, there should be this formation to welcome her.

The most important thing is that she seldom goes out, but there are more and more rumors about her outside, so many ladies are very curious, tiptoeing to see clearly the true face of the rumored Princess Chen .

When I really saw her, I felt that she was not tall, with slender shoulders and a thin waist, but she was quite graceful.The most conspicuous thing is the golden pure gold peony corolla on the head, which really envies the eyes of others.

At the moment, some people were also gloating, secretly thinking: It would be ridiculous if she stole Concubine Zhen's limelight.

Concubine Zhen is the newest concubine in the palace, and also the most popular concubine recently.Quite a talented woman, but unfortunately her background seems to be relatively ordinary, but she is a bit self-proclaimed, and she will not allow others to steal her limelight.

It is conceivable that Concubine Zhen has only been favored for such a short time, and her background is also average, so what kind of decent clothes and jewelry can she produce?But she likes to put a little thought into it, pretending to be elegant and chic.But in front of such a big golden crown, it would be inconspicuous even if he thought about it carefully.

Therefore, some people were speculating about how Concubine Zhen would react when she saw the Marquis Wu later.

Just as he was guessing, Qi Gui had just entered the garden when he heard someone singing loudly: "The empress queen is here—"

"The imperial concubine is here—"

"Concubine Hui is here—"

"Concubine Zhen is here—"

"Concubine Li is here—"

"Miss Yun, Mistress Hua, Mrs. Jiang is here—"

Qi Gui hurriedly turned around and saluted with all the women: "The empress is a thousand years old, the imperial concubine is Jin'an, and all the ladies are blessed."

Queen Yan's posture is bigger than that of Qi Gui only. The concubine alone has brought a large team, as well as eunuchs, maids, and old mothers, which is simply a large group of people.

She stood still in front of Qigui, then bent down to help Qigui herself, and said with a smile: "Quickly excuse me."

Seeing Qi Gui's makeup, even Queen Yan couldn't help laughing, and said, "Hey, our little ten siblings have finally grown up and know how to wear decent makeup!"

Like Qigui before, in front of her, it was almost like sweeping the eyebrows.

Thinking of the appearance of his birthday peach, Qi Gui laughed, and said, "Thank you for your compliment."

Grandma Jin was very proud.

Naturally, there must be wine at the reception.With the arrival of the Queen, the Military Aircraft Mansion brought up the wine they had stored for many years, as well as a lot of fine wine bestowed by the palace.

Then Qi Gui took the seat with Queen Yan, and the women of the aristocratic families began to come on stage one after another to perform their unique skills.

Queen Yan smiled and said, "Look carefully to see if you like it."

Then I still want to marry the side wife for Yan Junxing!
Qi Gui smiled awkwardly, and replied, "Yes."

These girls are all young, and they all already have special skills.Some are good at painting and dancing, or sword dancing, or piano, or music.All of them performed hard on the stage, hoping to win honor for the family and gain a little bit more bargaining chips for their own future.

Qi Gui looked at it for a while, and only sighed that it is not easy for these girls to live.

Tasting wine and talking, half of the reception gradually passed, the abrupt concubine Zhen said: "Why didn't you see Mrs. Chen Zhao's daughter this year? Speaking of which, it's time for her to get married, right?"

Qi Gui glanced at Queen Yan, and knew that she should have heard the explanation from Nanny Geng.She thought for a while and said, "It's the left wrist that's injured. So I can't perform on stage."

Concubine Zhen asked: "Injured? What kind of injury did she suffer? How could she be injured like a delicate lady?"

Concubine Hui said: "Sister Zhenfei, this Miss Chen is obsessed with dancing skills, it is common for her to get injured."

Not only did Concubine Zhen not stop, but she also asked Qi Gui, "Is that so?"

Concubine Hui smiled helplessly at Qigui.

Qi Gui finally found out, and the people here probably didn't know what rumors they heard, and Concubine Zhen also came here specially to add trouble to her.

She looked at Queen Yan's face, and finally said with a smile: "Concubine Zhen's question is strange, I am not Miss Chen's mother, how do I know so much?"

Concubine Zhen was startled, and said: "But I didn't hear that..."

Stop talking halfway through.

Qi Gui said seriously: "What did you hear?"

Concubine Zhen showed a somewhat weird smile, and said: "I heard that there was a dispute with the princess, and I was accidentally injured by the princess."

Qi Gui suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that Concubine Zhen heard about it like this."

Concubine Zhen is a little proud.

Qi Gui said: "Then you still ask me what I do? You still ask me so seriously."

Concubine Zhen choked.

Queen Yan said impatiently: "Concubine Zhen, enough is enough. If you listen to some gossip outside, you will know that you are here to play around. I don't see you have any other prospects."

Concubine Zhen blushed immediately, and she dared to contradict her, saying: "The concubine is just complaining about Miss Chen. I have heard that Miss Chen has excellent dancing skills, and I could have used this opportunity to show off my skills. What's more, Marquis Wu is going to get married again this year, Miss Chen was originally from the military government, and she has known Marquis Wu since childhood, so it's perfect..."

Qi Gui frowned after hearing this, and said: "Concubine Zhen, you believed a few rumors, and you are going to condemn the concubine to death?"

The queen of Yan became angry when she heard it, she was suffering from the matter of seizing women for Yan Jun.I thought in my heart, my real sister-in-law, even the king can't give him women casually, what kind of thing are you, you can come to someone's house?He also said that he was inseparable from ten virtues!
She said coldly: "Small door and small family, that's all they can do!"

Qi Gui was a little restless.

Queen Yan took her hand and said, "Don't pay attention to her."

Concubine Zhen has always been held in the palm of her hand because of being favored these days, how can she bear this kind of anger!Even though she had always been a little afraid of Queen Yan, she couldn't hold back at this time.Immediately trembling with anger, he said: "A princess of an enemy country dares to hurt the daughter of our general Chen, shouldn't this concubine seek justice for her? Madam, this concubine doesn't understand, where did this concubine say something wrong? !"

Queen Yan was furious, and suddenly poured a glass of wine on her face, which made Concubine Zhen dumbfounded.

There was only a second of silence, and then all the people kneeling on the floor led by Concubine Su Gui.Concubine Su Gui's voice trembled uncontrollably: "Queen Empress, calm down!"

Concubine Zhen has also heard of Queen Yan's horror, and this is the first time she has seen such a formation.She was dumbfounded, and was pulled by Bin Yun next to her, and then her body softened and she also knelt down.

Queen Yan stood up, threw down the wine glass, and showed her dignity: "Bringing such a shameful thing like you out, really ruined the good wine of the little ten brothers and sisters!"

Qi Gui quickly stood up, supported her, and said, "Your Majesty, don't get so angry."

Queen Yan looked at the distraught Concubine Zhen, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Concubine Zhen, Qian Shi, is a disobedient offender, so she took off her concubine's robe and escorted her back to the palace.

When someone came to strip her clothes, Concubine Zhen suddenly came to her senses, and yelled hysterically: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You can't treat my concubine like this! Your majesty will never let you treat my concubine like this!"

It's okay not to say this, as soon as she said it, she was condemned to death.

Queen Yan laughed out loud, but her expression was full of wantonness and indifference.At that moment, she was no longer the same as before, just making people feel a little grumpy.A person like her can sit firmly in the position of Queen Yan, and the favored concubine changes, but she is still majestic.

Qi Gui glanced at it and didn't dare to look again, feeling a fierce arrogance that looked down upon the world exuding from her body.

She knelt down again, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is a thousand years old, a thousand years old——"

All the women shouted: "Your Majesty is a thousand years old——"

Concubine Zhen was finally stripped of her concubine clothes, and then dragged down.

In the palace, if she didn't know how to keep low and be small, didn't hide her words, and believed in the man in common with the three palaces and six courtyards, it was a miracle that she could live to this day.

Queen Yan said: "What are you all kneeling for? Get up quickly."

"Yes."

She personally helped the chess back up, and then everyone sat down.Everyone worked hard to warm up the atmosphere, and finally returned to what happened just now.It's as if what happened to Concubine Zhen never happened.

It's just that this is also a piece of news in Yanjing recently, and it may not be talked about as a virtue when I go back.

The reception is almost over, and it's time for the fundraiser.

There were two rosy-cheeked girls, led by the maids, holding trays and waddlingly walking towards Queen Yan.The two of them first knelt down to address Qiantui, and then said in a childish voice, "Please bless the widows and orphans."

Queen Yan smiled and said, "Good boy."
