The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 216 Palace banquet, murderous intent everywhere

It was the first time Zhao Yan was openly refuted, her pretty face turned red and livid at times, and she found her own words after changing several times: "Mu Yunge, what do you mean? Are you going to help this disaster star against me? ?”

"Yun Ge has absolutely no such intention," Mu Yunge once again blessed Fushen: "Yun Ge just thinks that this is very inappropriate. Ms. Zhao is a famous lady, and the empress can talk to her in front of her, so don't just say a few words. The verbal dispute is to embarrass the empress."

She said "Madam" on the left and "Madam" on the right, Zhao Yan dared to say no more when she buckled such a big hat before, she looked at her with hatred, her silver teeth were almost gnawed into pieces, but there was nothing she could do, it was so embarrassing.

At this moment, the eunuch next to the Empress came to pass the decree that the Empress and Concubine Degui will move to Yingying Hall soon, and all ladies are invited to gather in Yingying Hall.Mu Yunge left leisurely, while Nangong Jin never looked at Zhao Yan again, and went straight to Rongying Hall.Almost all the daughters in this side hall were headed by Zhao Yan. At this time, Mu Yunge was firmly in the upper hand. Everyone was impressed by her bearing and involuntarily made way for her.

Nangong Jin followed behind Mu Yunge, looking at the girl with a straight back in front of her with complicated eyes, her face that had seldom smiled for many years slowly bloomed.

Mrs. Xiao also returned to the side hall, and sat down on the first person on the right, with Mu Yunge sitting next to her.

After Mu Yunge took his seat, Xiao Shi asked, "Who is that young lady who came in with you just now, a new friend?"

"That's Ms. Nangong Jin from the Yasukuni Mansion." Mu Yunge said with a smile, "My daughter likes her very much, but Ms. Nangong is a military commander. I'm afraid she doesn't like to associate with a boudoir lady like her."

Nangong Jin's name, Mrs. Xiao, has also heard of it. She wanted to persuade her a few words, but after thinking about it, her daughter has always had her own ideas. This Miss Nangong must have something special, so I won't say more.

Nangong Jin is a daughter who cannot inherit the title of Duke of Yasukuni, but she is a first-rank female general personally appointed by the imperial court, and she is more noble than the first-rank imperial wife. She is seated first, next to the queen and concubine Degui.In this way, Mu Yunge and Nangong Jin were seated face to face. After she took her seat, she unexpectedly nodded to Mu Yunge.

Mu Yunge smiled back, and Yaoyao toasted her with the fruit wine in hand.

Nangong Jin took the fruit wine in hand and drank it down in one gulp, then gestured to Mu Yunge for the empty glass.Mu Yunge also drank the wine in the glass, the corners of Nangong Jin's mouth curled up slightly, and he gave a very shallow smile, and immediately returned to his previous appearance after smiling.

When Zhao Yan entered the door, she saw the two people greeting each other, she was extremely annoyed, her eyes fell on the first seat, and an idea flashed out immediately.She pursed her lips and smiled, her face was as still as water, and she obediently sat down beside Mrs. Zhao.But as soon as she sat down firmly, she waved to the maid behind her and whispered a few words in her ear.

A trace of astonishment flashed across the maidservant's face, she hurriedly lowered her head to cover it up, and bowed to leave the main hall.

Next to Mu Yunge was the wife and daughter of Da Wei's other rich man. After the lady sat down, she couldn't help but leaned over and whispered to Mu Yunge: "Miss Mu, you were really amazing just now, but what Miss Zhao was caught by the girl?" You are speechless!"

Mu Yunge said flatly: "It's just a few truths."

"Anyway, you can be regarded as giving us business girls a bad breath! Everyone was born by parents, why should we be inferior to them? This time let them know how powerful they are, even if they are business girls, we It’s not easy to provoke!” The lady made no secret of her admiration: “We merchant girls are said to be lowly, but they are actually worse than us!”

Mu Yunge hurriedly swept towards the opposite side, and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up!"

The lady stuck out her tongue, and was pulled by the lady next to her, she quickly retracted her head.

"The empress is here—"

"Concubine Degui arrived—"

After waiting for a long time, the eunuch's shrill voice finally rang out in the hall. After hearing the announcement, everyone stood up and faced the small side door of Yingying Hall, waiting for the arrival of the two masters.

Empress Zhao and Concubine Degui came in one after the other, and the eight servants who accompanied them stood up behind them, and all the wives and young ladies got up and bowed down.At the end of the ceremony, they heard Empress Zhao's order "please stand up and give me a seat", and everyone stood up to thank them and sat back in their seats.Empress Zhao briefly stated the purpose of today's palace banquet, and waited for the news of Emperor Wu's opening banquet before ordering the banquet to begin.

There are many rules in the palace, and the banquet is different from ordinary family banquets. The dishes are prepared long ago, but no dish can exceed three chopsticks, which is very boring.

Mu Yunge is definitely not the only one who finds it boring. After eating eight kinds of dishes, Empress Zhao said with a smile: "It's rare for everyone here to enter the palace once, and it's boring to sit there. There are new songs and dances in the palace, which are interesting, even the emperor appreciates it." That's a good sentence. Xiaodouzi, go and announce them into the palace, and help everyone!"

The eunuch behind her responded and retreated, and soon ten maids in water-red skirts lined up in two to enter the palace, and danced as soon as the music sounded.

Mu Yunge had a rough grasp of the melody, and recognized that it was "Broken Array", slightly interested, and began to watch it carefully.

These dancers have soft waists, but strong feet. They look like golden iron horses rolling in between their kicks. They should be dancing swords, but they are replaced by water sleeves. The long sleeves are either soft or firm, which has a special flavor.

Mu Yunge was watching intently, when suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her right hand on the table, the burning sensation permeated her entire palm, hot soup was rolling down from the back of her right hand, and landed on the table in front of her. a few.The maid serving her dish was full of panic, and was about to kneel down, watching her reaction quietly with her eyes.

Xiao's eyes were full of distress, and when she saw this, she quickly took out her handkerchief and washed the oily soup off her hands.

Mu Yunge pressed Xiao's hand with one hand, and stretched out the other hand silently, quickly stopping the maid from kneeling.

"It's okay." Mu Yunge shook his head slightly, and looked at her purely and warningly: "You don't have to apologize, if you disturb the empress, I don't have to worry about my life. of."

The palace maid was still persistent and wanted to kneel, but Mu Yun's singer Shang Qiaojin strangled her so hard that her legs became stiff and she couldn't bend at all, so she had to answer: "Yes." Obediently stood up again and served dishes in an orderly manner.

Mu Yunge just took the handkerchief from Xiao Shi, and wiped the oil soup on his hand carefully, but after a short delay, the back of his hand was already red and swollen, and blisters would appear in a short time.

Zhao Yan, who had been looking at this side all the time, saw that the maid had won, and was only waiting for Mu Yunge to stand up in a panic, but seeing that Mu Yunge's hands were swollen like that, she remained motionless, and the maid did not kneel down either. Attracting the empress's attention, the hatred grew stronger, and she tightly twisted the handkerchief with a face full of unwillingness.

Suddenly, she became happy again.

Mu Yunge's hand is swollen like that, it will soon swell, and scars will definitely be left in the future.Such a big piece, let's see how beautiful she can be, and how she can seduce King Yu!

Mu Yunge cleaned the back of his hands, raised his head and looked straight at her, his eyes were dark, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his back.Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, Mu Yunge had already turned her head away, and was talking to Xiao Shi with a smile, as if she had just imagined it.

Nangong Jin saw everything in his eyes, sneered a few times, and turned his cold eyes slightly. When the dancer finished dancing the song, before Queen Zhao could speak, she stood up first, and made a martial arts salute: "Empress, Nangong He was born as a general, and he has never learned the rules very well, and if there is something unclear, I ask the empress to explain it to the general."

Empress Zhao smiled and said, "Jin'er, I am still your aunt according to seniority. You are too polite. You can ask any questions."

Nangong Jin's father married the eldest princess. Nangong Jin was said to be a catastrophe and could not be disliked by Emperor Wu. In addition to her ability to lead troops to guard the border, it was also because she was of royal blood.Since Emperor Wu doted on her, the Empress had to give her some face.

Nangong Jin pretended to be puzzled: "If someone ignores the palace rules and hurts the distinguished guests of the emperor and empress in the inner palace, how should he be dealt with according to the inner palace laws?"

"Punish according to the law." Empress Zhao quickly came to her senses, and glanced coldly at the maids present, causing them all to kneel down in fright, before she said, "Jin'er, who made you unhappy?"

Nangong Jin turned sideways and raised her finger to the maid next to Mu Yunge: "Empress, this person is so bold that he dares to deliberately spill hot soup to hurt people on such an important occasion as a palace banquet. Miss Mu is magnanimous. But I can't stand it anymore, please ask your empress to give it a serious sentence, so as to set an example to others!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and all their eyes fell on Mu Yunge. Naturally, her swollen right hand couldn't escape everyone's eyes.

"You are so courageous!" With a loud shout, Queen Zhao's expression changed.

Today's palace banquet was originally set up for these wealthy businessmen's wives and daughters. The court ladies and official ladies are all accompaniments. Empress Zhao has already ordered that no one is allowed to be negligent in today's palace banquet. Now not only is there a mistake, but also The one who got hurt was the eldest lady of the Chamber of Commerce leader that the emperor wanted to win over the most. If she slapped the queen in the face, if she messed up, the emperor would blame her...

The palace maid of Bucai knelt by the table and shivered, not daring to defend herself, she only cast her eyes on Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan obediently sat beside Mrs. Zhao, without even looking at her, as if she had nothing to do with her.

The maid had no choice but to look at Mu Yunge with pleading eyes.

Mu Yunge lowered his eyelids lightly, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Miss Zhao promised you such a good thing, you dare to give your life to her. I'm sorry, I can't save your life, It won't help either."

Previously, he stopped her to save himself, but now killing her is just to build his prestige, so that those who want to plot against her, Mu Yunge, know that she, Mu Yunge, is not something everyone can afford!
Empress Zhao said angrily: "You are so bold, you simply don't pay attention to the rules of the palace, and you don't pay attention to the palace. Come on, drag it out, and immediately kill this lifeless thing!"

The palace maid turned pale with fright, she was dragged by the eunuch, terrified, and was about to call out, but the eunuch who pulled her covered her mouth and dragged her out forcefully.

At this moment, Concubine De Gui, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, "Wait a minute!"
