Zhuo Qihua

The palace banquet started, and all the ministers, wives, and royal family members had already taken their seats. At this time, the concubines and servants of the harem would appear one by one.The first ones to appear on the stage were the concubines and concubines, and the eunuch sang: "Miss Jing concubine is here—"

The people present immediately shouted: "Congratulations, Concubine Jing——"

"Jin Yu came to—"

"Congratulations, Jin-chan--"

Seeing her niece sitting on the concubine's seat, Liu Qian was very satisfied with a smile on her face.Yuan Susu, who entered the palace with Liu Yanling, Liu Qian's concubine's niece, is also pregnant and will give birth at the end of March.Regardless of whether Yuan Susu gave birth to a boy or a girl, the status of the Liu family is secure. If they can get a boy in one fell swoop, it will be even better.

Jing Lanzhen, the granddaughter of Jinwu General Jing Song, is also due to give birth at the end of March.In recent years, Emperor Yong'an has also used heavily on the Jing family. The promotion of the one whip method and spreading the money into the mu requires General Jin Wu to charge forward.Jing Song believes that as long as his granddaughter can give birth to a prince, she will definitely become the noble lord of the first palace.In contrast, Marquis Liu Tong of Anding and Master Zuo Cangnan were worried.Liu Xizhu, Liu Yimu, Zuo Silin, and Xu Mu have never been able to conceive, and now because they are living in Fengtian Palace, His Majesty has not invited them to sleep with them for a long time, and it is even more distant that they will be pregnant.Although the Liu family and the Zuo family were also highly valued, the status of those sent to the palace by the two families was low, and they were not particularly favored, so they were weaker than other families.

Not to mention, the Guan family of Deguixie, the Lin family of the Ming Dynasty, the Kuang family of Concubine Xigui, and the Wan family of the Empress Dowager have all been mentioned in the court.Qi Yiguo and Tong Yifeng's two families are also rising. Once they both give birth to a prince, these two families may enter the capital. The pressure on Liu Tong and Zuo Cangnan can be imagined.

Princess Leping was deprived of her title, and the Zheng family was defeated. Although Zheng Yingzhi was not thrown into the cold palace, it was almost as good as being thrown into the cold palace.Emperor Yong'an had completely forgotten about her, and even Chang Mingyue who entered the palace with Zheng Yingzhi.The harem is so cruel, once one loses favor or loses the Sacred Heart, what awaits is a bleak end.Zhuo Ji did not interfere with Emperor Yong'an's attitude towards the concubines in the harem, this is the reality.

The only one who waits for you is Jin You.The concubines of the concubines include the Qiong concubine and the newly released Jing concubine.

"Tomorrow I will arrive—"

"Welcome to the Ming Dynasty——"

"Concubine Xiao is here—"

"Congratulations to Concubine Xiao——"

"Miss Concubine Wen is here—"

"Congratulations, Concubine Wen—"

Emperor Yong'an didn't plan to call Concubine Xiao and Concubine Wen to sleep with him, but with Concubine Xiao and Concubine Wen's resurgence, Emperor Yong'an also started to use people from these two families.For Concubine Xiao and Concubine Wen, being able to return to the concubine position would allow their natal family not to be burdened by them and be trusted by His Majesty again, far more than whether they could still sleep in bed and give birth to dragon heirs.

The concubine and concubine took their seats, but the standing people did not intend to sit down.

"Your Majesty has arrived—"

Everyone was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly shouted: "Welcome to your lord——"

"The imperial concubine is here—"

"Congratulations to the noble concubine——"

De Guixie sat down and was also very surprised that Shunxi didn't come?Didn't you say you will come today?Mingyu and Concubine Xigui also looked puzzled, but Shunxi said he would come.The position between Ke Deguixie and Mingxie was indeed empty.Many people were disappointed, and Lei Cong was also disappointed.But Lin Yi said in his heart: 【It's fine if you don't come. 】

After waiting for a short time, the eunuch sang again: "The Empress Dowager has arrived—His Majesty has arrived—the imperial concubine has arrived—King Qin has arrived—King Qi has arrived—"

Emperor Yong'an brought the Queen Mother and Huang Guixie, and led King Qin and King Qi to appear on the stage.This time, everyone has to stand up and greet Shengjia.Huang Guixie had to show up on this day, and Emperor Yong'an gave him a great honor.Emperor Yong'an ordered people to place the seat of Huang Guixie next to him.Originally, there should only be the Queen.But today, Emperor Yong'an put the position of the noble concubine in the position of the queen.In the position of maidservant, Deguixie sits at the top.

Miss Huang Gui didn't expect His Majesty to come out like this.But he wasn't too excited to lose his temper.After His Majesty and the Queen Mother took their seats, he took his seat.Qin Wang and Qi Wang sat at the lower heads, but they were also overlooking the height of the officials.After the new year, Qin Wang and Qi Wang, one is eight years old and the other is six years old.For ordinary people, they are still young, but in the royal family, they have the status of county kings, so they have to grow up and mature prematurely.

Looking at his son who was sitting in a dignified manner, De Guixie's eyes were full of pride and relief.Guan Minghui looked at his grandson with a sense of pride.Taishi Shao looked at his great-grandson and was even more satisfied.The Holy Majesty let Huang Guixie sit next to him, which conveyed a meaning.It is very likely that the Holy Majesty will not become the empress, and if nothing unexpected happens, the empress and concubine will always be the rightful master of the harem.It has to be said that this official's ability to guess the holy will is still very good.This is indeed the meaning of Emperor Yong'an's arrangement today.

The protagonist arrives, and the palace banquet officially begins.For this palace banquet, only Prince Qin and King Qi were among the princes, and none of the princesses came. Usually, princesses are not allowed to attend this kind of occasion.Emperor Yong'an raised his glass, everyone toasted, singing and dancing played music.Shi Yu glanced at the empty seat from time to time, feeling disappointed, why didn't he come by the way?Is it His Majesty who refuses to let me, or is it that you are not willing to come?

Chen Changgeng also took a few glances at the vacant seat, and Mi Wanzhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials sitting beside him, said in a low voice: "Every time you have a palace banquet, if you don't come by chance, you have to vacate his seat. Shunxiu is really doting on you."

Chen Changgeng: "It's inconvenient for ministers to talk about matters in the harem. Today's palace banquet, Prime Minister Mi Zhong, must be careful about what he says."

Mi Wanzhong: "Thank you President Chen for the reminder."

Emperor Yong'an was in a very good mood, talking to the empress dowager and empress dowager beside him from time to time.The Empress Dowager asked in a low voice: "Isn't Shunxi coming?"

Emperor Yong'an: "He had a nightmare last night, and he woke up this morning with a headache. He finally fell asleep again at noon, and I asked the eunuch next to him to wake him up later."

Queen Mother: "He's a nightmare, so there's nothing we can do about it?"

Emperor Yong'an shook his head: "There is no way."

Huang Guixie: "I'm afraid it's because I've worked too hard for a while, and I'm tired."

Thinking of the third prince's illness, the queen mother sighed: "Then let him sleep for a while."

In the middle of the palace banquet, Emperor Yong'an said something to Zhang Xian, and Zhang Xian left.Everyone saw Zhang Xian leaving, and everyone felt a little strange in their hearts.Zhang Xian walked for almost a stick of incense and came back.When he came back, he went to the manager of Baixifang and said something, and soon, the musicians stopped playing, and the dancing song and dance stopped suddenly, and everyone looked at each other not knowing what happened.The dancers also stepped aside.

Zhang Xian returned to the back of Emperor Yong'an, and the eunuch outside sang loudly: "Soon, let's go—"

Whoa!

A pot of hot oil was poured into boiling water, did it arrive? !Lei Cong looked at the gate with bright eyes, and everyone looked at the gate.The gate of the hall was completely pushed open by the guards outside the hall, and Zhuo Ji, who was dressed in a noble and luxurious outfit, stepped into the hall accompanied by Chang Jing and Xiao Hui.Lei Cong looked straight at him for a moment, is that Zhao Zhuo? !No, that's Zhuo Ji? !Emperor Yongan laughed, Mingyu laughed, Deguixie, Xiguifei and Huangguixie all laughed.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhuo Ji, on this mysterious and low-key servant of His Majesty whose identity had already spread inside and outside the palace, everyone's thoughts were different.The only similarity is that this His Majesty's pet attendant is indeed somewhat pretty.

Queen Mother: "By the way, the emperor said that you are not feeling well, but are you feeling better?"

"Thanks to the Queen Mother, it's much better."

Emperor Yong'an: "Take a seat."

At this time, the people came to their senses, and hurriedly shouted: "Welcome, welcome, welcome——"

Zhuo Ji nodded slightly, walked from behind Jin Ling to his seat with a smile on his face, and after Chang Jing quickly took off his cotton cloak, he sat down gracefully.Zhuo Ji sat between Deguixie and Mingxie, and in such a comparison, his clothes and attire clearly surpassed that of Deguixie, and were even comparable to Huangguixie.Degui Xie doesn't have Nanzhu on her body!

As soon as Zhuo Ji sat down, the palace people came over carrying the meals.Plates of hot, exquisite delicacies were put on the table, and it seemed that they had been prepared in advance.The atmosphere in the hall was too quiet, Zhuo Ji always had a decent smile on his face, but he was holding his forehead in his heart.Is Your Majesty trying to push him to the position of "Demon Concubine"?His appearance in the middle of this half is too high-profile!

When the meal in front of Zhuo Ji was ready, the palace servants withdrew, and Zhang Xian shouted: "Sing and dance—"

The interrupted music sounded, and the suspended song and dance continued, but everyone's mood was different.Deguixie asked, "Is the headache better?"

Zhuo Ji, who was forced to lie: "It's much better after a good night's sleep. Maybe it's because I was frightened awake at night on the first day of the new year, and I caught a cold when I came out at night."

De Guixie understood, and so did Mingxie.

The pomp of Zhuo Ji's appearance is in stark contrast to the decline of the Zhuo family.Zhuo Yizhi looked at Zhuo Ji's back, feeling as hard as he could.At the same time, he couldn't figure it out, even if Zhuo Ji hated the Zhuo family, he was so smart, wouldn't he think that without the support of his natal family, no matter how favored he was, he would be nothing more than a pamper?His face is easy to fade. When he gives birth to the prince, and the prince grows up in the future, without the support of his mother's family, how will he and the child stand?Can he compete with the noble concubine, the noble concubine?Even Concubine Xi can't compete!As for Zhuo Ji's ability to dispense medicine, Zhuo Yizhi naturally heard about it, but he thought that it was just that the Holy Majesty put the credit of the Imperial Medical Office on Zhuo Ji to improve his status.Zhuo Ji grew up in the Zhuo Mansion, and was sent to the palace at the age of 14. He had no contact with any doctors at all, so how could he be able to dispense medicine and be so skilled in medicine?

Zhuo Ji couldn't feel Zhuo Yizhi's resentment, so he chatted with Deguixie and Mingyu while eating.This was also the first time that the courtiers saw the close relationship between the three 俍俍.Seeing that I don't know what Shun said, Gui and Ming both covered their mouths and laughed, and Gui seemed to slap Shun.Even His Majesty looked at Shun Yu from time to time.

Lei Cong secretly glanced at Zhuo Ji several times but was caught by his cousin, and then stomped on him.The former little friend disappeared for four years, but he has become the harem's servant.It was the first time he saw Zhuo Ji who was dressed up and put on makeup, it was really good-looking.However, it is impossible for him to fight and quarrel with Zhuo Ji again.Lei Cong was very disappointed, very disappointed.He looked at Zhuo Yizhi and gritted his teeth in his heart. If it wasn't for this old bastard who sent Zhuo Ji to the palace cruelly, how could a talented person like Zhuo Ji fall into the harem where people eat people but don't spit out their bones.Even if His Majesty loves Zhuo Ji very much, is it guaranteed that His Majesty will love Zhuo Ji for the rest of his life?

"What are you looking at!" Edward Lam reprimanded again in a low voice.

Lei Cong drooped his head: "I didn't see anything."

Lam Yi: "You don't want to cause trouble for Shun Yu. You must be respectful enough when you meet him in the future. You can have a friendship with Shun Yu. I don't know how many people will envy and envy you. In the future, you must be more careful. Be cautious in your words and deeds. People who are about to be weak, don't act recklessly."

Lei Cong nodded, and asked in a low voice: "Cousin, Your Majesty, are you really good to him? Hiss!"

Lei Cong felt that his leg was going to fail.

"Eat more vegetables and less talk!"

Lei Cong didn't dare to say anything.

After the dance was over, Emperor Yong'an raised his glass, and everyone hurriedly raised their glasses, and Zhuo Ji also picked up his teacup, since Emperor Yong'an refused to give him a drink anyway.Emperor Yong'an said a few words, to the effect that he hoped that the courtiers would continue to work diligently for the country in the new year, and that the concubines and concubines in the harem should also continue to be harmonious and open up for the royal family.

After Emperor Yong'an finished speaking, everyone toasted and drank.After putting down his wine glass, Shi Yu suddenly jumped out: "Your Majesty takes care of everything in daily life, and the body of a dragon is the most important thing. I wish your Majesty a long live, a long live, a long live, a good weather for our country, and peace and prosperity for the people. I also wish the queen mother, the royal concubine, everyone俍俍 and Niangniang are like today every year, and every year is now in court." On such occasions, the ministers should avoid suspicion, so naturally they can't wish King Qin and King Qi what's wrong.

After finishing speaking, Shi Yu specially made a gesture of toasting in Zhuo Ji's direction, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.Emperor Yong'an gave Shi Yu a disgusted look, and said: "Ai Qing has a heart, but the Ministry of Industry still needs to hurry up, so don't neglect it."

"The minister obeys the order."

Before Shi Yu could finish his words, King Wu Shao stood up and said, "I wish Your Majesty..." He also said some auspicious words of blessing, and King Wu Shao took a special look at Shun Yu with a smile on his face, and raised his head. cheers.

Emperor Yong'an took a sip of his wine: "Okay, I have accepted King Wu Shao's wishes."

King Wu Shao hadn't finished his wine yet, King Xianyi rushed to stand up.After the same words of blessing and auspiciousness, King Xianyi toasted his head, and then specially raised his glass in the direction of Shun Yu, and drank.

"I also wish..." Guan Minghui finally got his chance.Taking the opportunity of drinking tea, De Guixie suppressed his smile, and said in a low voice to the people around him, "All of these are selling to you."

Zhuo Ji 囧.

De Guixie continued to add salt to his "wound": "You are now a veritable 'Song Zi Zui'."

"..." Zhuo Ji wanted to cry.

After Guan Minghui finished speaking, he deliberately paid a slight tribute to Shun Xie's direction, but some people thought he was paying tribute to Degui Xie.Before Guan Minghui had drunk the wine, Huang Guixie's elder brother stood up.

Huang Guixie's eldest sister-in-law, Lao Bang Huaizhu, his elder brother sincerely toasted Shunji, but in order to avoid suspicion, he did not specifically point out like others, but there was also a lot of Xiangshun in the toast. The act of toasting.Huang Guixie's eldest brother is now a third-rank official, and the second brother is a fourth-rank official.After his eldest brother finished speaking, the second brother got up.

Chen Changgeng lowered his eyes, covering the light in his eyes.Mi Wan's clock didn't show on the face, but his heart fell to the bottom.This succubus has quietly bribed so many ministers in the DPRK!If Mi Wanzhong thought so, naturally other people would think the same way.Ming's family finally saw the opportunity, and naturally they were secretly grateful for the opportunity.

Hu Pengju, Wei Yingshi, and Bai Shitong, who were specially granted by Emperor Yong'an, also rushed to pay New Year's greetings to the Holy Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the emperor, but the last act of bowing to Shunji was not necessary. too obvious!

The behavior of one man next took many by surprise.Marquis Qin Su of Chang'an, who was the father of Qin Zhongyi, the imperial bodyguard sent by Emperor Yong'an to protect Zhuo Ji, clearly looked in the direction of Shunxi when he mentioned everyone, and even made a bow.This is amazing!The Qin family, like the Lin family, was only loyal to the emperor, never formed a clique for personal gain, and never had anything to do with concubines.Why did he especially bow in the direction of Shun Yu?Isn't it Shunxiuji, but Guixiuji?That's even more impossible!

Even Huangguixie was surprised, Deguixie asked in a low voice: "You gave Chang'an Hou's family a son, too?"

Zhuo Ji could only say: "I gave Qin Zhongyi some 'Golden Phoenix Pill' and 'Dali Pill'."

Deguixie and Mingxie understood that it must be one of the family members of the Marquis of Chang'an who is pregnant!While Marquis Chang'an was drinking, he stood up alone.The person's standing up immediately attracted everyone's attention.Even Guan Minghui and Shi Yu were stunned, thinking, this is just a coincidence.
