Yang Rongyan's eyes tightened slightly. No wonder the Fourth Prince liked Yang Susu and wanted to take her as his concubine. With a face like this, any man would probably like her.
The old lady leaned on her red nan wood cane and slowly stood up: "Okay, let's go to the palace. When you get there, don't talk too much, or people will laugh at our young lady from the general's mansion for being so ignorant and unfriendly."
"Yes."
Yang Rongxin lowered her head, tugging at her silk handkerchief, her face full of hatred. This old woman really wasn't going to help her anymore.
Today, the old lady prepared two cars, one for Yang Rongxin and Yang Rongyan, and one for the old lady and Yang Susu.
When the carriage slowly drove into the palace, everyone noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
The number of guards standing at the palace gate was several times more than usual, and all of them had serious expressions. All carriages entering the palace for the banquet, whether they belonged to a first-rank minister or a prince, were searched. No one had the privilege of entering without being checked.
…………
The two carriages from the General's Mansion were naturally stopped. The old lady frowned and got off the carriage with the help of Yang Susu to accept the search.
The palace guards and imperial guards patrolled and stood guard on the palace roads in groups.
Because of the old lady's warning, Yang Rongxin and Yang Rongyan were confused, but they did not ask.
The tense atmosphere did not ease until they reached Yonghe Palace.
Silks, brocades, jewels, ink paintings, gold and silver bars, and gifts of all sizes filled Concubine Xiao's Yonghe Palace.
The wives and daughters of the officials presented noble gifts on behalf of their families.
Such a good day to curry favor with Concubine Xiao, of course, cannot be missed. After all, Concubine Xiao has two princes under her name, and the fourth prince is the most likely to ascend the throne.
Moreover, Concubine Xiao's father, King Zhenbei, had been guarding the border between Dongzhou and Xishang with a large number of troops.
Concubine Xiao was wearing a scarlet palace dress today, and a precious golden peacock crown on her head, which was inlaid with colorful jades, and was extremely gorgeous and dazzling.
There was a faint smile on her face, but it didn't reach her eyes.
Yesterday, her Huai'er lost a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which was equivalent to losing a treasury. The competition for the throne required the support of men and soldiers, which all depended on silver. Losing so much silver at once made her very worried.
Moreover, at such a grand palace banquet for her birthday, the Beiyan spy actually wanted to disrupt it and even threatened to give her a big gift. How could she be happy?
Therefore, at this moment, there were many people sitting on both sides of the Yonghe Palace. Her expression was always indifferent, with a forced smile.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine. I wish Her Majesty good health and eternal youth."
Wu, along with her eldest daughter-in-law Liu and eldest granddaughter Zhou Mianmian, walked in with a smile.
Concubine Xiao's face was filled with a faint smile: "Thank you, Madam Prime Minister, for your kind words."
Just as he finished speaking, there was another announcement at the door: "Old Madam Yang from the General's Mansion has arrived."
The old lady slowly entered Yonghe Palace with the help of Yang Susu, followed by Yang Rongxin and Yang Rongyan.
"Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, may the Empress be blessed with good health."
The old lady and the three daughters of the Yang family all knelt down slowly and bowed. Yang Susu lowered her head and tried her best to reduce her presence.
Concubine Xiao at the top smiled and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, I haven't seen Old Madam Yang for a long time, you are still so energetic."
Then he turned his attention to the three young ladies of the Yang family behind him.
