The blue waves of the pool reflect the majestic palace, and the Zhaoxue Palace, which looks golden in the sun, is tinged with a quiet coolness.

Today, it is the standard of conduct in the favored harem for Mu Hanxue to hold a banquet with wine and entertain the palace concubines. Who dares to neglect it?

Everyone had prepared gifts and came to Zhaoxue Palace early to pay their respects to the imperial concubine who was not as high as the queen in terms of status, but was comparable to or even superior to the queen in everything else.

No, there are all the concubines waiting for guests in the hall, and the concubines of the princes in the side hall are sitting and chatting. The corridor in the back hall is even more spectacular.

My family has earned enough face and deliberately dressed up. It looks like a jeweled, bright and dazzling place, just like an imperial garden with flowers all over it. It has a unique splendid scenery.

The topics of conversation among palace concubines, apart from their husbands, children, and family affairs, are nothing more than gossips about various houses in the capital.

They chatted in low voices, and those who were close to each other chatted with each other and gossiped about others.

If you get closer, you will hear the latest sensational topics in Beijing.

"Hey, have you heard that the banquet today was specially arranged for that woman by the imperial concubine!" The low and hoarse voice was full of caution, and a pair of eyes that were not very active looked around, as if they were afraid that someone would hear them.

.

"That woman? You mean she was robbed by the Ninth Prince..."

Before she could finish speaking, a pair of hands covered her mouth, and everyone "booed" in unison, signaling her to stop talking.

In the capital, all of you can gossip. You can chat about everything and the universe. As long as no one listens to it, nothing will happen. This Ninth Prince alone is a taboo in boudoir gossip. Not to mention contamination, just mention the most important thing.

Don't even mention it.

And the one she almost talked about was a topic that everyone avoided.

Who doesn’t know that the Ninth Prince was raised by the Emperor hand-in-hand, and everything must be checked. Not to mention other princes, even the prince, cannot compare with this honor and favor. Moreover, this prince has a distinguished status, and is the son of the late queen.

, although the current crown prince is also the daughter of the queen, after all, the current queen is a successor, and his status naturally does not need to be as noble as the Ninth Prince. However, this prince himself is very capable. Not to mention his outstanding achievements, he is also in the military.

He has a group of good brothers and subordinates who are loyal and sincere, and are highly supported.

If this country is really going to change hands, the Emperor will issue an edict to the Ninth Prince tomorrow, and no one will believe that there is a problem here.

And, who else was robbed by the Ninth Prince, except Ling Zihan, the prime minister’s daughter, who had just returned to Beijing and stood up to the prime minister in front of all the officials?

Back then, the daughter was thought to be a witch, and the prime minister cruelly abandoned her to the ancestral temple. However, the emperor found out about it, and an imperial edict was issued to kill her, but she was sent to a remote and barbaric place. After fifteen years, she was suddenly recalled.

, and she was given a marriage not long after she came back. How many secrets are hidden here are naturally the topics of speculation and discussion by everyone. However, this woman is involved with the Ninth Prince, and now he has snatched her into the palace, leaving her free time.

She was engaged to be engaged, but she lived in the prince's palace with no name or status. She was not like a wife, and she was not like a guest. Prince Pian pampered her so much that he grabbed cooks from the south of the Yangtze River and went to famous embroidery shops to choose embroiderers... to spend on food and clothing.

No one was left behind by the prince.

However, everyone in the palace knew about the existence of Ling Zihan, the future princess, but few people had seen it. But the deeper it was hidden, the more people attracted attention, and they all wanted to see this woman known as the enchantress in person.

, what kind of charming person is he?

In the main hall, except for the queen who said she was ill, all the concubines of Emperor Chen, high and low, were all present.

See you, serve tea, and chat about home affairs.

Tea is worth two cents——

A beauty sitting on the lower left side of the imperial concubine frequently winked at the gorgeous woman opposite her, but judging from her clothing, she could tell that the woman winking at her was the fourth concubine, and that gorgeous woman clearly had a higher status.

Very low, probably just a fourth-grade beauty.

But the beauty was obviously bewitched. She turned to the tea cup and spoke slowly, interrupting the harmony of the room and bringing the topic to today's protagonist.

"The Imperial Concubine, why hasn't Miss Ling San arrived yet? Could it be that the Ninth Prince is not ready to let her go?"

Everyone's eyes glanced over, and no matter how they tried to hide it, they were all looking at her. Some were surprised, some were indifferent, some were sarcastic, and some were strange. Only in the eyes of Concubine Jing, who was second on the right.

A flash of worry...

On the table, the imperial concubine narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled brightly, breaking the brief deadlock.

"Gaomei, are you impatient?"

If she couldn't guess the intention, Gao Meiren's eyes trembled slightly, but she didn't get confused.

After all, this tall beauty has risen from an eighth-grade gentle girl to a fourth-grade beauty. If she can't stand it, she shouldn't stay in the harem anymore.

"Your Majesty, I have no such intention. I am just anxious to meet your daughter-in-law. I heard she is a rare beauty!" Gao Meiren flattered her knowingly and tried her best to look expectant.

.Then he glanced at the woman winking at her with her lower left hand, as if she was hinting at something.

"Oh? Then just wait a little longer. You should be on the way already, sister!" The imperial concubine squinted her eyes with a calm look, but when she said "sister", Gao Meiren felt something in her heart.

I couldn't help but shuddered suddenly.

Not daring to raise her head, the tall beauty only stood up to bless herself and sat back down.

The winking beauty glared at the cowardly Gao Meiren, snorted indifferently, turned to the imperial concubine with a smile, and said: "Sister, it's not that I talk too much, this Ling Zihan was originally with us... then

I was engaged, but later on, except for that matter, the engagement was terminated. Now, the Long Live Lord shows his love and gives her to our Ninth Prince. This shows how much Miss Ling San has troubled the Long Live Lord. But this can’t be done.

This has become the reason for that girl to neglect you. Look, sister, who are you hosting the banquet for? It’s not for her. We sisters are all here for your sake. But this protagonist

It's so grand that you sent someone to pick her up in person. She didn't know she came earlier. She's really an uneducated bastard. You, please discipline her more in the future so that she doesn't step on you by kicking her nose in the face.

His prestige broke the family rules..."

After talking for a while, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the high-pitched voice outside the door curtain.

——The lady’s daughter has arrived!

The door curtain was raised, and the pearls and jade made a crisp impact sound, but it attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at her and saw the slender and charming girl being supported by a maid who looked extremely extraordinary, walking slowly, and following her lightly parted red lips, a sweet and charming voice came out: "This is

My wife, I thought, I am definitely not the kind of uneducated bastard you say!"

Walking at a steady pace, Ling Zihan had a seductive sneer on her lips, and her cold gaze penetrated those enchanting eyes like sharp arrows, shooting towards the concubine who "speaks astonishingly", although she did not know who she was.

Who, but looking at the valuable clothes, one can guess her status.

The purely evil eyes met the concubine's. Seeing the concubine's slightly dumbfounded expression, Ling Zihan's lips curved deeper, turned to the imperial concubine in the chair, and bowed: "Your Majesty Ling Zihan bowed to the imperial concubine.

, and I wish you all the best, my queen may live a thousand years."

Is this Ling Zihan?

Her face is incomparably beautiful, with a hint of sarcasm in its indifference, and her charming and cold eyes seem charming, but are actually wise and dangerous. Her aura is natural, like a high-ranking king, with a proud body, even if she is saluting in front of her body

, but it still makes people not feel inferior at all, but instead makes people feel like they want to worship and look up to her.

She wore the simplest bun, with only a lilac-colored gemstone hairpin pinned to it, with few embellishments. The jade-like earlobes were dotted with two crimson rubies, looming among the jet-black hair. The slender hair.

The well-fitting floor-length pleated phoenix skirt with water sleeves complemented her beautiful figure and accentuated her round waist. The Su embroidered Yuehua snow gauze shirt was covered with it, which slightly covered up her charming figure, but because of this

It is more prominent and makes people daydream.

His elegant manners are all dignified and elegant, and his smiles and speech are even more calm and appropriate, making it impossible to fault him in the slightest.

How could such an outstanding woman be such an uneducated bastard?!

In comparison, it made the concubine look shameless. As an elder, gossiping about a junior behind their back in broad daylight is called well-educated? If she were a bastard, her words were subtextual, saying that the emperor was good to Ling Zihan,

Doesn't it clearly imply that Ling Zihan is the emperor's seed?

Ling Zihan didn't bother to point it out, she just sneered in her heart: Huh, you're bringing shame on yourself.

"Well... no wonder Lao Jiu is so attracted to her. She is really a delicate and elegant girl. Come, come over and show me." The imperial concubine looked at Ling Zihan with gentle eyes and waved to her.

After walking through the open space in front of the concubines, Ling Zihan stepped up the steps, still standing, and did not kneel down. However, the concubines had no objection when they saw the imperial concubine, and those with sharp eyes also noticed the blouse on Ling Zihan's waist.

Guan Yuxiao naturally understood what was going on. They exchanged glances with each other, then they both laughed together and remained silent.

The concubine, who was ignored by the two people, consciously made a mistake. Although she was still angry at Ling Zihan's words that contradicted her just now, she did not dare to do anything more. She secretly gritted her teeth and looked at Ling Zihan who was talking to the imperial concubine, holding a cup.

His hands tightened again and again. If he had applied some internal force, the cup would probably have turned into a handful of powder.

Eyes are on the nose, nose is on the mouth, mouth is on the heart... Everyone drank countless cups of tea, but they were all secretly observing the imperial concubine's expression and listening to their gossip. It could be seen that the imperial concubine seemed extremely satisfied with this son.

The daughter-in-law smiled from time to time, nodded slowly, and looked at Ling Zihan up and down, and her eyes gradually became gentle.

But in Ling Zihan's view, this vision is a measure of profit, as if she is the product waiting to be sold.

After a long time, the chief manager of Zhaoxue Palace finally arrived.

The eunuch walked into the palace, glanced at Ling Zihan without leaving any trace, and then whispered something in the ear of the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine nodded and casually gave instructions: "Since everyone is here, let's start the banquet!" After saying that, she turned to Ling Zihan and patted her hand gently, "Zihan, let's go.

, follow me to the apse." Then he turned to the concubines, "Sisters, please follow me too!"

When everyone stood up to salute and respond, the imperial concubine walked down the jade steps with her money. When passing by the concubine who had tried to start a fight several times, she looked at her and kindly reminded her: "Xianfei, you are so stupid

My clothes are stained with tea, so I'd better go and change before sitting down at the table!" After saying that, he held the eunuch's hand and left.

Ling Zihan, who was walking behind them, glanced at the imperial concubine, with complicated feelings in her heart, and something strange flashed across her eyes.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the imperial concubine seemed to be specifically telling her that the one who spoke ill of her behind her back was Wen Lijin, the virtuous concubine among the four concubines.

*

The banquet was held in the open space of the back hall, with curtains flying around, flowers surrounding the banquet, and beautiful shadows passing through. From time to time, a few lost butterflies landed on the dining table, making it a prosperous and gorgeous scene.
