Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Concubine Zhao did not embarrass him, but smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Eunuch Wang. This is very good."

"Then I will not disturb your Majesty's rest. I will take my leave."

After Wang Desheng kowtowed to Concubine Zhao, he bowed and retreated. After leaving Zhaoyang Palace, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, let out a sigh of relief, and went to work.

Because a new group of people had arrived, the palace maids and eunuchs in Zhaoyang Palace were all promoted in rank. The third-class palace maids were promoted to second-class, the second-class palace maids were promoted to first-class, and so on.

However, Bi Yan and Ling Lai still took personal care of Concubine Zhao, and they promoted two of the original elders to serve in the bedroom.

As for those newly sent in, let them do some rough work outside first to see what their character is like.

While Concubine Zhao was busy, Concubine Chun came over with her people to congratulate her. However, before the two of them could say a few words, Concubine Rong came over with her people. For a moment, Zhaoyang Palace was more lively than ever before.

"Sister has finally made it through all these years. Now that Xiaoqi has become a prince, you don't have to worry about her anymore!"

Concubine Chun clapped Concubine Zhao's hands sincerely and congratulated her. She was really happy for Concubine Zhao, but Mu Gu was crowned king before Mu Huan, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But then he thought of Concubine Zhao's identity, and this slight discomfort instantly disappeared.

"I didn't expect Xiao Qi to be so successful."

Concubine Zhao smiled kindly, and her beautiful eyes swept over the people below. Although everyone seemed to be smiling, it was not certain how they were cursing her and her son in their hearts, so she just dealt with the situation.

Concubine Rong pinched her handkerchief and pressed the corner of her mouth. She glanced at Concubine Chun and said with a smile, "The Third Prince went to deliver food and grass a few months ago. Logically speaking, he did a good job. Who knew that the Seventh Prince would be crowned the king first? But the children are still young, so don't be angry, Sister Chun, the Third Prince will be crowned the king sooner or later!"

Her words seemed to be meant to comfort Concubine Chun, but in fact they were meant to sow discord.

If Concubine Chun was a petty person, she would have held a grudge against Concubine Zhao and Mu Gu a long time ago.

Although she felt a little awkward, once she figured out certain things, she would not be influenced by others. After hearing what Concubine Rong said, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Huan'er delivering military rations is a small matter after all. It cannot be compared to the Fifth Prince's contribution in pacifying the war in the southwest. Even with such a great contribution, he was not given the title of a prince. Why is Huan'er so anxious to tell me?"

"you……"

Concubine Chun retorted to Concubine Rong with just a few words, and she was so angry that her face turned red. Finally, she just said that she was not feeling well, and left with her sleeves swung.

As soon as Concubine Rong left, Concubine Yue and the remaining two concubines also left. Only two concubines who had a good relationship with Concubine Chun remained seated.

Thinking of how Concubine Rong's nose was crooked due to anger just now, Concubine Liang covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Your Majesty's words just now really relieved me. In my opinion, Concubine Rong will not be able to eat dinner when she returns home!"

"That's right. It's just that the Fifth Princess has some abilities, so she thinks she is the most powerful in the palace. She doesn't even look at the many princes and emperors we have. Which one is not stronger than the Fifth Princess?"

Concubine Qiao was often suppressed by Concubine Rong, just because her father's words offended Grand Scholar Zhang a while ago, and Concubine Rong had been causing trouble for her recently, so she was a little impolite in her words.

After hearing this, Concubine Chun frowned and scolded, "Say less! Today is Concubine Zhao's big day, let's just talk about family matters. If someone hears us, it will bring you trouble."

Concubine Qiao was also furious, so she said a few words without restraint. After being scolded by Concubine Chun, she immediately covered her mouth and nodded playfully, indicating that she would never say it again.

"Hurry up and try the snacks. They were just delivered by the imperial kitchen. I haven't tasted them yet!"

At this time, Concubine Zhao smiled and pushed the snack away, letting the matter go.

The Zhaoyang Palace was bustling all afternoon and only became quiet in the evening.

At dinner time, the emperor and Mu Gu came together, and the three of them sat at the table and had dinner together.

"Originally I wanted Xiao Qi to come earlier, but then I pulled him aside to talk about other things, so time was delayed."

The emperor explained to Concubine Zhao patiently.

Concubine Zhao smiled and used the serving chopsticks to serve food to the emperor. She looked at him with gentle eyes and said softly, "In the afternoon, Concubine Chun and Concubine Rong will come over to congratulate you. If Gu'er comes, I won't have time to talk to him."

After serving the emperor some food, Concubine Zhao turned around and served her son a bowl of soup. Looking at Mu Gu's visibly sunken cheeks, her eyes were filled with heartache.

"You must not have eaten well or slept well in Qizhou, right? How come you are so thin?"

Children are the flesh and blood of their mother. Compared to the emperor's appreciation of Mu Gu's deeds, Concubine Zhao was more concerned about his health.

Knowing that her son must have suffered a lot, Concubine Zhao's eyes became red.

The emperor couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, and reached out to hold Concubine Zhao's hand, looking at Mu Gu with relief and said: "Xiao Qi has grown up, and it's time for him to take on some responsibilities."

"Yes, mother, you don't have to feel sorry for me. It's just a few pounds of meat. When you come back, you can make more delicious food for me. Then the meat will grow back, right?"

When he came back and saw that his mother looked much better than before, Mu Gu was very happy. At the same time, he also knew that it was all thanks to Xiao Ruge.

If she hadn't taken care of her mother's health, I'm afraid her mother would still be bedridden.

Mu Gu smiled and picked up some food for the emperor and then for his mother.

Except for Concubine Zhao and Mu Gu, who truly care about each other, the emperor is actually like an excluded outsider.

However, the mother and son hid themselves very well and were not discovered by the emperor.

By the time Mu Gu left the palace, it was almost 9 o'clock. The carriage swayed into the former residence of the Seventh Prince, now the residence of Prince Bao.

The next day when he went to the morning court, Mu Gu put on the prince's crown and robes.

The prince's crown with a vermilion embroidered five-clawed golden dragon is very conspicuous among the ministers and princes. The dragons on the chest and back are very domineering with bared fangs and claws.

The dragon guards on both arms are vivid and come alive with their eyes wide open as if they are about to rush out.

In addition, Mu Gu has a tall stature and handsome appearance. Even though he is younger than Mu Huan and Mu Bo, he still looks calm and steady.

The emperor had not arrived yet, and all the ministers surrounded Mu Gu to congratulate him. If Mu Gu had not intended to hold a banquet to celebrate, they would have trampled down Prince Bao's door.

Mu Bo already knew what Concubine Chun said to Concubine Rong yesterday. He had always disliked Mu Gu, and now he regarded him as a thorn in his side.

Originally a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, now turned sinister and cruel as he glared at Mu Gu, making his handsome features look a bit ugly.

"Fifth brother, what are you looking at? Do you also think that Seventh brother's prince's robe is very majestic?"
