[1]The Consort is Both Charming and Scheming, Rising Through Palace Intrigue

The next day, Fengqi Palace.

Ning Shu said that it was neither too early nor too late to come. At this time, I'm chatting with everyone "happily".

When Concubine Rong came in, she stood up to take care of herself. As soon as she came in, she kept her eyes on Ning Shuyan. He stared at her coldly, as if he was going to make a few holes in her face.

Ning Shuyan lowered her eyes, as if she didn't know anything or saw anything.

While Concubine Rong and Ying Zhaoyi were talking, Xi Jieyu whispered, "Did you also offend Concubine Rong?"

Ning Shuyan's eyes gently drifted towards Concubine Rong and said in a harmonious voice, "I don't know either."

A trace of contempt flashed in Xi Jieyu's eyes and said lightly, "Don't you look at other people's faces? It's really stupid."

Ning Shuyan twitched the corners of her mouth and said nothing more.

Xi Jieyu seemed to remember something and was a little surprised. She whispered, "You won't because of what happened that day, because I offended her, right?"

Ning Shuyan laughed in her heart. Naturally, she knew what Xi Jieyu meant, that is, the day when Concubine Rong punished her and slapped her.

She just smiled faintly: "Some people, you yourself have offended her unconsciously."

"What are Sister Ning and Sister Xi talking about? Mysterious, let's all listen to it. Chu Baolin suddenly smiled and said to Ning Shuyan and Xi Jieyu.

Everyone was a little surprised when she said this. Xi Jieyu was arrogant, while Ning Shuyan was gentle, which was well known. When did the two of them get to a good deal?

Xi Jieyu frowned at her delicate eyebrows and said to Chu Baolin, "I just had a two-to-day chat with Ning Cairen. Is it possible that we have to quarrel loudly when we talk?"

The smile on Chu Baolin's face was a little stiff. "Xi Jieyu's nature is not so low-key. She speaks in a low voice. People who don't know think you two are talking about some secrets!"

Ning Shuyan said softly, "Chu Baolin thought too much. If it was really a secret, Xi Jieyu and I would not talk about it here."

Chu Baolin moved the corners of his mouth and said nothing more, but there was a little dissatisfaction on his face.

Concubine Rong rolled her eyes and hummed softly.

Soon the queen came out. After a while, the queen smiled and said, "The weather is hot this year. The emperor plans to go to the palace to escape the summer heat. At that time, after the palace has discussed the accompanying list with the emperor, we will send someone to inform you."

Concubine Zhuang raised the fan in her hand, and the dark red tassels hanging from the fan handle hung on the back of her fair hand like a glow. She raised her voice, "I like the Chaohui Hall where I lived last year very much, and I also asked the queen to leave the Chaohui Hall for my concubine."

The smile on the queen's face was like condensed frost, stiff and cold.

Concubine Zhuang raised her chin and said, "Why doesn't the queen say anything? Could it be that the emperor won't let the concubine go this year?"

The queen blinked her eyes slightly and immediately recovered her former gentle look: "My sister must be going..."

"That's it. Just keep the queen and the concubine." Before the queen finished her words, Concubine Zhuang interrupted her without hesitation.

The queen's hand on the armrest of the phoenix chair suddenly tightened a little. There was still no wave on his face, and his smile was as thin as a light gauze: "There must be more concubines going this year than last year, so it is inevitable that there will be some changes in the residence. The good palace is not only in the Chaohui Hall."

Concubine Rong quickly smiled and said, "What the queen said is that everything is up to the queen."

The queen nodded with a smile and said kindly, "The prince is young. At that time, I will definitely choose a cool and comfortable place for you. It happened to be Jingyou's fourth birthday, so it was held in Yichun Garden.

The queen means to hold a birthday banquet for the prince. You should know that except for one year or ten years old, there are rarely birthday banquets. Of course, except for the identity of the prince.

Concubine Rong was overjoyed at the moment, and quickly said with a smile on her face, "Yes, thank you, Empress."

Concubine Zhuang took a teapot and took a sip, covering up the unhappiness and gloom on her face.

Ning Shuyan smiled in her heart. On the surface, the queen looked virtuous and virtuous, but in fact, she could not tolerate Concubine Zhuang. Only then did Concubine Zhuang made her unhappy, so she pulled Concubine Rong out and responded to Concubine Zhuang.

After the crowd left, the queen went to the Zhaochen Hall.

"I thought that Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Rong, Ying Zhaoyi and Lin Zhaorong must be going. As for Ye Jieyu and Xu Meimei, according to the emperor's opinion, do they follow?

Ye Jieyu and Xu Meimei are also old men in the palace, but their favors are mediocre and not very favored.

As a result, Xiao Yu also said, "There are too many people and there is a lot of noise."

The queen immediately understood and said softly, "I don't know what the new concubine wants the emperor to go forward?"

The queen never mentioned anyone's name, and she also wanted to know which of the new concubines had a higher position in the emperor's heart.

After all, there are several concubines. If Xi Jieyu is favored, Ning Shuyan has served a lot of times, and the emperor has personally visited Lanyue Pavilion. In addition, Chu Baolin was lucky a lot some time ago.

While drinking the mung bean soup sent by the queen, Xiao Yu said, "Ning Cairen and Xi Jieyu."

With a smile on her face, the queen nodded slightly: "Ning Cai is gentle, but Xi Jieyu is also straightforward. It's good to serve the emperor together."

Gentle... These two words are also suitable for her, Xiao Yu thought.

He looked at the queen and saw a gentle smile in her pair of water-cut autumn pupils, and his voice was gentle: "Thank you for your hard work."

A trace of moisture flashed in the queen's eyes, and she smiled and said, "This is the duty of the concubine." After a pause, she said, "Concubine Zhuang said today that she still wanted to live in the Chaohui Hall where she lived last year, but she felt that Jing You was young and wanted Concubine Rong to live in the Chaohui Hall. I don't know what the emperor would like."

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, put down the mung bean soup and said, "Concubine Zhuang has always been afraid of heat. She is willing to let her live in Chaohui Hall, otherwise her nature will make me a headache. In addition, choose a cooler place for Concubine Rong.

The queen's eyes darkened slightly, and there was no strange emotion on her face. She nodded and said, "Okay. Concubine Zhuang's sister is the emperor's heart best. No wonder the emperor loves his sister so much. I don't know if there are one or two more considerate concubines who entered the palace this year. If I can serve the emperor well like Zhuang Concubine, I will be relieved.

Xiao Yu looked indifferent: "After all, they have just entered the palace, and they don't know my habits, but they are not as good as the queen." He stretched out his hand to hold the queen's hand in his palm and said softly, "The queen and I have been married for many years, and it is the most considerate and suitable for me. In recent years, you have worked hard to take care of the harem.

The queen was quite moved for a moment and looked at Xiao Yu warmly: "My concubine and the emperor are husband and wife. Husband and wife should have been heart to each other. I want to take good care of the harem, and I also want the emperor to worry less."

Xiao Yu patted her hand and nodded with satisfaction.
