The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

At the end of Shen Shi, Jiang Shiying took people out.

In the courtyard of Jingyang Palace, I also met Zhang Baolin, who was also leading someone to Xiefang Palace.

"Concubine, I pay my respects to Empress Zhaoyi." Zhang Baolin saluted respectfully.

"Get up." Jiang Shiying glanced at her and said, "Why don't I see you wearing that coral hairpin?"

The hairpin is very festive, just in line with the atmosphere of the New Year.

Hearing this, Zhang Baolin's heart tightened and he replied: "That hairpin is precious. I am afraid that if I accidentally break it due to my rough hands, I will be disgraced."

Jiang Shiying smiled and said: "What's the point? No matter how precious the hairpin is, it's just an object to set off a person."

Zhang Baolin looked at the exquisite and luxurious set of hair and face on her head, and thought, for Chun Zhaoyi, this is indeed the case. But for an unpopular low-ranking concubine like her, how could she have such confidence?

She just lowered her head and replied, "That's what I said."

Not long after, we arrived at Xie Fang Hall.

Tonight is a family banquet, only the harem concubines, princes, princesses, and members of the clan.

In the middle of the hour, everyone sat down and waited for the arrival of Lu Zhaolin and the Queen Mother.

At this time, Qin Xiurong, who was on Jiang Shiying's right, asked in confusion: "It's already this time, why hasn't Concubine Qi come yet?"

Ning Guibi said: "I guess there must be something delayed."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Qi Bin hurriedly leading people into the palace.

After less than half a cup of tea, Lu Zhaolin personally welcomed the Queen Mother into the palace, and the banquet officially began.

Today's atmosphere is much more relaxed and cheerful than at the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day banquets.

Jiang Shiying kept the matter of Huaying and Dongqing in her mind, so she inevitably paid more attention to the princess and prince's table.

The personal maid serving behind Princess Yongning is the same one who served at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve. It must be that Dongqing.

Judging from the interaction between Yongning and her, it seems that he has great trust in her.

Jiang Shiying frowned, feeling something was wrong in her heart.

In the palace, the Yuefu actors were performing hard.

However, except for the young princes and princesses, everyone else is obviously not interested in these programs.

Lu Zhaolin and the princes in the royal family drank and chatted happily, and the concubines in the harem were also laughing and joking.

It wasn't until the middle of Haishi that the palace banquet broke up.

After the clan members resigned one after another, the concubines, princes and princesses also bowed to the throne and left the palace.

At this time, the leader Lu Zhaolin said: "Chun Zhaoyi, wait a moment."

After the words fell, not only Jiang Shiying stopped. All the concubines in the palace, as well as the princes and princesses, all slowed down their movements, wanting to see what His Majesty was going to do when he called Chun Zhaoyi to stop.

Seeing their behavior, Lu Zhaolin just frowned and didn't say anything more.

Then, he stood up, got off the throne, walked to Jiang Shiying, took her hand and said, "I will go with you."

Jiang Shiying's hand was wrapped in his, and as the two looked at each other, a thousand words seemed to be lost in words.

Li Bin took a quick look and couldn't help but murmured: "Your Majesty and Chun Zhaoyi look like a perfect match standing together."

She didn't speak loudly, but the palace was quiet. Therefore, this small sound was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

The queen was still standing on the high platform, and the smile had long since disappeared from her face. Hearing this, his eyes were like ice blades, shooting towards Li Bin.

Li Bin knew she had made a mistake, so she covered her mouth and took two steps back.

Li Bin is afraid of the queen, but the imperial concubine is not.

The imperial concubine chuckled softly and said, "Isn't that right? Your Majesty is tall and handsome, and you have to have someone with fairy-like beauty standing next to you to look right."

As she said this, her eyes looked at the queen.

The concubine's words were not to praise Jiang Shiying, but to step on the queen.

In this palace, only Jiang Shiying can match the four words "immortal beauty and jade color". Before Jiang Shiying appeared, the imperial concubine could be said to be extremely graceful, and the jade concubine Qin Xiurong and others were also beautiful in their own way.

Only the queen, although she is said to be graceful and luxurious, is only considered to be of average beauty. The four words "fairy and beautiful" cannot be associated with the queen.

The queen looked at the concubine's face and the sneer on her lips, and really wanted to give her a slap to wake her up.

In the past, when others were favored a little more, the concubine would be extremely jealous.

Nowadays, Chun Zhaoyi is so pampered, but the imperial concubine acts like she doesn't see it. She is like a mad dog all day long, chasing her and biting her whenever she gets the chance.

But at this moment, the queen could only say in a cold voice: "Is your concubine drunk?"

The words of Concubine Li and the concubine sounded provocative to the Queen's ears. But to Lu Zhaolin's ears, he didn't think there was anything wrong.

At this time, he heard the queen say that the concubine was drunk. He looked in the direction of the concubine and saw that there seemed to be red marks at the corners of the concubine's eyes, and she did look a bit drunk.

His voice softened and he said: "After your concubine returns, remember to take a cup of sobering soup before taking a rest."

The imperial concubine expressed her blessing to him and said, "I would like to thank you for your concern. It's already late at night. Your Majesty and Chun Zhaoyi should go back and rest."

Lu Zhaolin nodded and was about to leave with Jiang Shiying.

After walking only two steps, Princess Yongning said loudly: "Father, today is the fifteenth day. According to the rules, you should go to Fengyi Palace."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaolin turned his head and looked at her and said, "Oh?"

Just one word made Princess Yongning wake up instantly. What did she just say? Which palace her father is going to is not something she should talk about as a daughter.

At this time, Dongqing, who was behind Princess Yongning, took two steps forward, knelt on the ground and said, "It's my fault. The princess drank a few too many drinks today. I didn't stop her. It's my fault that I neglected my duty."

Lu Zhaolin glanced at Dongqing, then at Princess Yongning, and said, "The Queen will take care of it," and left with Jiang Shiying.

The queen looked at the two people's backs and said in a tone of indifference: "Holly didn't fulfill her duty of persuasion, so she will be punished by thirty big boards."

After returning to Fengyi Palace, she said to the painting fan: "Ask Dongqing a doctor."

Hua Fan accepted the order and retreated, thinking that the person named Dongqing had made a mark in the empress's heart. After this incident, both the queen and the princess will remember her loyalty.

After the fifteenth day, morning greetings at Fengyi Palace resumed.

The next morning, Jiang Shiying should have gotten up early to freshen up.

However, the previous court had not yet opened the seal, the morning court had not resumed, Lu Zhaolin was still asleep, and no one dared to wake them up.

Yao Xingde saw Qiu Yu pacing back and forth anxiously in front of the dormitory door, and thought, this girl usually seems to be smart, why is she so confused now?

He suggested: "Just find someone to go to Fengyi Palace to ask for leave."

Qiu Yu looked embarrassed: "But it's not good for your Majesty to take leave without any reason."

Yao Xingde glared at her: "Who said she took leave without reason? Isn't Queen Chun Zhaoyi serving His Majesty? Is there anything else that is more important than serving His Majesty?"

Hearing what he said, Qiu Yu's face showed a look of enlightenment and said: "Thank you very much, father-in-law, for reminding me. I will send someone to Fengyi Palace to ask for leave."

"Wait a minute." Yao Xingde stopped her: "Just ask Tian Zhong to go to Fengyi Palace."

Although this false accusation is reasonable, considering what happened last night, it is inevitable that the Queen will embarrass the people under Chun Zhaoyi. He simply sent Buddha to the west, and sent a named eunuch from the imperial court to escape for them.

Qiu Yu also understood what he meant and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you, father-in-law, for the photo."

In Fengyi Palace, the queen and all the concubines were sitting in the palace. Chun Zhaoyi was not there, but someone from the imperial court came to ask for leave for her.

Before the queen had time to speak, she heard the imperial concubine say: "Chun Zhaoyi is polite, and serving your majesty is the most important thing. Even if you don't send anyone, I'm sure the queen will not blame you."

What else can the Queen say? Can she say no, she will just blame Chun Zhaoyi?

She could only smile on her lips and nodded: "As the noble concubine said, serving His Majesty is the most important thing. Chun Zhaoyi doesn't need to take it to heart."
