Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 815 There is something in the words
The next morning, the sky was bright and clear.

"Ma'am, the carriage sent by the palace has arrived." Nanny Gui walked to Tang Huanxi's side and said cautiously, "Madam, are you up now?"

"Mommy, I'm still a little sleepy." Tang Huanxi rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned wearily, "Mommy, dismiss the people in the palace. We will enter the palace by ourselves later."

Tang Huanxi has An Xiuhui's token in her hand, so she can freely enter and leave the palace.

Nanny Gui looked at the tiredness on her face, her eyes were filled with distress, "Okay, this old slave will go and dismiss the eunuch who passed the edict, Madam will sleep again."

"En." Tang Huanxi let out a muffled sound, then turned over again and soon fell asleep.

At three quarters past time, Chunxi Hall.

Concubine Xian sat tall at the head, squinting her eyes slightly, enjoying the service of maids.

"Zhihua, is everyone here?"

"I'm going to tell you, except Mrs. Xiao, the other five wives were arranged to rest in the Shuanghua Palace by the servants." Zhihua looked at her and asked cautiously, "Young lady, should we wait, or go now?"

"She's such a big airs." Concubine Xian sneered, her eyes full of sarcasm, "As long as she's pregnant again, even Ben Gong won't take it seriously."

"Your Majesty, calm down," Zhi Hua quickly persuaded, "Since Xiao Tang is on good terms with the Empress Empress, and she is a meritorious person who donated the spiritual water, it is not surprising that she would be a little presumptuous, let alone in the eyes of a servant , she is so ignorant, didn't she just hit the muzzle of the empress?"

Concubine Xian gradually calmed down, and smiled slightly, "That's right, you're right. If that's the case, let's go to Shuanghua Palace!"

At that time in Fengluan Hall, Randong had already inquired about Concubine Xian's plan, and relayed it to the queen verbatim.

An Xiuhui hugged the First Prince, her eyes flickered slightly.

"I thought Concubine Xian wanted Tang Huanxi's life this time, but I didn't expect that she just wanted to add trouble to Tang Huanxi." An Xiuhui said with emotion in a low voice, "But Tang Huanxi is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes. Concubine Xian I'm afraid this plan will fail."

"My lady, what should we do?"

"You don't have to do anything, just wait and see what happens." An Xiuhui smiled, then lowered her head and coaxed the eldest prince in her arms, "However, I feel that the Holy Majesty may be very interested in the purpose of this banquet held by Concubine Xian .”

Randong understood immediately, and backed out with a smile.

At the beginning of noon, when Concubine Xian led a group of people to sit down and prepare for dinner, An Xiuhui and Tang Huanxi arrived late.

"This Shuanghua Palace is so lively," An Xiuhui smiled softly, her eyes inadvertently flicked across the faces of these women present one by one.

These women are all family members of court officials.

If Concubine Xian hadn't given birth to an heir, An Xiuhui really thought that she wanted to bribe the imperial court official.

"The concubine (the minister's wife) sees the empress, and the empress is blessed and safe." Even though she was upset, Concubine Xian still got up, and walked towards An Xiuhui's position with a kind of person, and saluted respectfully.

"Everyone get up." An Xiuhui slightly raised her hand, and smiled softly, that smile was so beautiful that it looked bright.

Although An Xiuhui used to be the empress concubine of the Supreme Emperor, now she has raised two princes for Murong He.

Her back position is already unshakable.

"Why did Mrs. Xiao come so late?" Concubine Xian suddenly set her gaze on Tang Huanxi, and when her gaze inadvertently swept over Tang Huanxi's swollen abdomen, a flash of jealousy quickly flashed in her eyes!
Facing Concubine Xian's jealous eyes, Tang Huanxi raised her eyebrows in doubt, and after a little thought, a bold guess appeared in her mind!

"Madam Xiao? Is Concubine Xian talking to you? Why are you silent?" Wen Wenshi was the first to speak. She frowned, her tone full of dissatisfaction.

The overwhelmed Tang Huanxi smiled slightly, and made a standard palace salute to Concubine Xian, "I also ask Concubine Xian to make amends, my wife is pregnant now, and it is really inconvenient to move, so she is late. The empress is generous and tolerant, so the minister dared to think that the empress would be tolerant!"

Concubine Xian smiled slightly, clenched her fists, and suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart.

"Naturally, Mrs. Xiao is pregnant again, and General Xiao is going to fight for the country again. If I can't understand you, wouldn't it be too much?" Concubine Xian suppressed her anger, with a smile on her face all the time.

But what she said was clearly accusing Tang Huanxi of being arrogant because of favors.

"Sister Concubine Xian said that on New Year's Eve, General Xiao immediately left the palace after receiving the imperial decree. He didn't even use the reunion dinner with his family. It was the Yong Dynasty who had a good general like General Xiao. Blessing." The queen smiled slightly, and after she sat down, she looked at Concubine Xian and said, "I have reminded my sister earlier that Mrs. Xiao's month is getting older, so it is really not suitable to enter the palace."

"The empress's words are wrong. Under the auspices of the empress, everything in the harem is in order. Besides, the reason why the concubine insisted on inviting Mrs. Xiao into the palace is to express my gratitude." Concubine Xian did not expect the empress to be so Dare to embarrass her like this in public, she clenched the silk scarf tightly in her hand, lowered her head to cover the flash of killing intent in her eyes.

All the women sitting at the bottom lowered their heads carefully.

The empress and concubine Xian are so discordant.

In the verbal battle just now, there was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke.

"Your concubine Xian is really welcome," Tang Huanxi smiled and broke the silence at this moment, "Although the spiritual water is priceless, the Wen family is willing to share the title deed of Fushouzhai with the courtiers. Make a deal. So the empress can be safe and sound, and the people who should be most grateful should be your family."

At that time, the smile on Concubine Xian's face couldn't hold back anymore.

"Alright, alright, since everyone is here, the banquet should begin." An Xiuhui glanced at Tang Huanxi, then raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Randong, order the imperial dining room to start serving the dishes."

"Yes!"

Sitting on a rosewood chair, Tang Huanxi sighed slightly in her heart as she watched the exquisite dishes that were completely unrepeated one after another.

Now the war between the Great Yong Dynasty and Xiliang is about to break out, the treasury is empty, and the people's levies and miscellaneous taxes are numerous.

After three consecutive years of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people could not even satisfy the most basic food and clothing.

But what about in the palace?
Today's banquet alone cost at least a few hundred taels of silver.

"Ma'am, but the food is not to your liking?" Bai Wei looked at Tang Huanxi's reluctance to put down her chopsticks, and asked worriedly, "How about I serve you a bowl of pigeon soup?"

"No need." Tang Huan shook his head with a smile.

Concubine Xian who had been staring at Tang Huanxi suddenly frowned and asked, "Why doesn't Mrs. Xiao not move her chopsticks? But the food in the imperial dining room is not to your liking?"
