Chapter 43

It's not a secret for the imperial concubine Shu to visit her relatives in the harem, and the Su family is not a first-class family in the court. However, the emperor's special favor for the imperial concubine Shu to visit her relatives made the officials in the court be more careful with the Su family.

Although the former Imperial Palace and the latter imperial palace can't communicate with each other in many cases, sometimes they are constantly involved. To put it more seriously, they are all very prosperous, which will affect the whole body.

The Zhao family has been a bit disheartened in the court recently. A former niece of the sun family, who was friendly with him, secretly attacked the emperor's favorite daughter of the banker, which made the sun family be censured and even the Zhao family get the emperor's cold eye. Now even the daughter of the su family, who had been beaten down by them, is also visited by the emperor. In this way, the Zhao family is really embarrassed.

Seeing that the empress had lost face, the people in the harem wondered whether the empress would be in trouble with zhaochongyi. After all, if it had not been for zhaochongyi, the empress would not have been so embarrassed. It's a pity that the queen has been in the harem for many years and she doesn't do anything impulsive. During this period, in addition to sending people to inquire about Zhao Chongyi's body from time to time, she also gives a lot of nourishing things, showing her virtue incisively and vividly, which makes people who want to watch the fun disappointed.

The date of the visit is set at the sixth day of next month. During this period of time, some low ranking concubines come forward to please them, while the other concubines look coldly at them as if it has nothing to do with them.

Zhuang Luoyan looked at the movement of the palace in recent days, and somehow remembered the content of a famous book about saving relatives in a previous life. Looking at the scenery, he was just the last struggle after the prosperity. In recent days, the emperor's attitude towards the queen has not changed much compared with that in the past, but if the empress doesn't have half a knot in her heart, she really doesn't believe it.

In this harem, every woman is a poor man. Even if her hands are covered with blood, it's not really vicious. They are all the victims of the family. They spend their whole life in exchange for stability or glory for the family. Even if they go deep into the harem, once they are favored, they will have unlimited scenery.

"It's a pity," said Zhuang Luoyan, looking up and sighing as she opened the tea stem on the water. There should not be many concubines like her without much psychological burden. It's a waste of these beautiful women to waste on a man. How many other homosexual curses would such a man suffer in his previous life?

"Master, the empress sent someone to say that at noon, she held a feast of appreciating chrysanthemums and tasting crabs in the imperial garden. She asked you to attend the banquet." When he came into the room, he saw the master sitting by the bed, meditating with a teacup. When he reported, his voice was much lower. "Many masters in the palace were invited to go, and the maidservant also heard that if the emperor finished dealing with political affairs, he might also come here."

"Enjoy the chrysanthemum and crab now?" Zhuang Luoyan glanced at the white sunlight outside the window. This is not the right time for chrysanthemums to bloom or the best time for crabs. What does the queen mean by this?

"At the moment, the crabs are not fat enough. They should be short of heat. I think they are also fresh. If you want to eat really delicious hairy crabs, you'll have to wait for a month or two." Listen to bamboo smile to change the flower which has dried up in the vase, turn to look at Zhuang Luoyan with plain expression, "but at this moment, you can't eat more crabs. Even if you like them, you should avoid eating them. It's troublesome to eat too much crabs."

It's just a new thing, not a lot?

Zhuang Luoyan chuckled, put down his tea cup, picked up the fan beside him and shook it slowly: "then I'd better take care of it and ask the people in the palace to prepare the chariot. When should I go, I'll go."

It's not easy to be a queen. In recent days, lady Shu has been in the limelight in the harem. She used this banquet to warn some concubines in the harem that they are dancing very hard. If lady Shu is favored again, she is just a lady. She is the real head of the harem.

As a woman in the harem, she may not care whether the emperor dotes on her most, but she will care about her status as a queen in the palace. The recent popularity of Lady Shu makes her dissatisfied.

I'm afraid that this banquet still means to warn the imperial concubine, but the emperor will attend. The emperor is really afraid that the palace will not be in chaos. Now he is supporting the queen backstage.

When Zhuang Luoyan arrived at the imperial garden, it was not too early or too late, but the empress had arrived as the principal. She went forward to salute her politely. The empress treated her very gently and arranged a good position for her, which was enough to show her "important" position in the harem.

Later, some concubines arrived in twos and threes, and Princess Shu and Su Xiuyi came later. Lady Shu is wearing a pink skirt, and her face is as beautiful as peach blossom. There are many concubines who are younger than lady Shu. Compared with Lady Shu, there is only the word "dim".

"I've seen the empress. I'm late. Please forgive me." It seems that lady Shu has always been like this. She is gentle and elegant, which makes people feel that she is an infinitely beautiful woman at a glance. Even if she comes late, she won't make other people feel that she is being slighted. Such a person seems to be born with a taste of liking, which makes people who don't know the truth unconsciously use beautiful words to her.

Zhuang Luoyan knew that such a woman was terrible. She had beautiful appearance, elegant posture, not low birth, good mind and skill, and was good at forbearance. Such a woman as Lady Shu must not offend unless she had to, because it was a tough and painful thing to fight against such a woman."Concubine Shu has been busy recently. It's normal for her to come a little later, not to mention that the palace came earlier," the queen said with a smile. After she asked her to sit down, she turned to the eunuch next to her and said, "since concubine Shu and Su Xiuyi have already come, let's have a banquet."

This is not to suggest that all the people present, the banquet has been delayed until now because of Princess Shu and Su Xiuyi? The queen is good at drawing hatred for the two sisters of the Su family.

Although the chrysanthemum is not in full bloom at this time, the pots of precious chrysanthemums made Zhuang Luoyan feel a little excited. Since the queen said it was chrysanthemum appreciation, she should not waste the Queen's painstaking efforts.

Although the process of eating crab meat is complicated, all of you need to do it yourself. Zhuang Luoyan ate a crystal crab roe bag which is not much bigger than his thumb. He felt a little bored, so he took a mouthful of chrysanthemum tea to gargle, and looked at the colorful chrysanthemums beside him.

"Here comes the emperor!"

Take the opportunity to get up and move her intestines and stomach. After Zhuang Luoyan's salute, she saw the empress and the emperor sitting down together. She unconsciously looked at the lady Shu on the other side and saw that her smile was still as usual. She didn't know whether she could still smile like this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't need to be polite. I didn't want to come to the banquet today. It's just the Queen's hard work. I can't bear to waste the Queen's heart for nothing," he said, holding a bag of crab roe and putting it into the Queen's bowl.

Seeing this, all the concubines immediately said that the empress worked hard and the banquet was very rich.

"If sister zhaochongyi doesn't like this crab roe bun, you can try this steamed egg with crab meat. It's tender, smooth and not greasy. I want to meet her taste." After the banquet continued for a while, Xu Zhaorong, who was sitting at the head of Zhuang Luoyan, said with a smile in a soft voice, "it's delicious to cook the dishes and taste the orange paste sauce. A bucket of red jade full, double claw Luo Qiong crisp fragrance. Don't let me down. "

Zhuang Luoyan was stunned by Xu Zhaorong's poem, but he quickly realized that the emperor and the queen had noticed the movement here, so he said with a smile: "crab meat is naturally very delicious, but chrysanthemum is also beautiful. My sister only paid attention to the flowers for a while, but she forgot the delicious food on the table." After that, he got up and said to the emperor and the queen, "the chrysanthemum platform prepared by the queen is beautiful. Concubines and concubines are not used to dual-use. They just enjoy the chrysanthemums, but they forget the delicious crab meat on the table."

"It's rare for you to only look at the flowers. You can see how beautiful these chrysanthemums are. Even those vulgar people like Zhao Chongyi who only know how to eat forget to eat." Feng Jin showed a little smile on the spot and rewarded the queen with many things. Turning to see that Zhuang Luoyan seemed to have some embarrassment on her face, she joked, "empress, please remember to pack some food for this layman to take away, so as not to feel lost when she thinks of eating."

This words listen to have no other meaning, but listen carefully, but let a person have a kind of empress and Zhao Chong Yi relationship is very harmonious feeling.

Shu princess looked at the queen and the emperor with a smile, and soon lowered her head with a smile.

Everyone understands that the emperor shows that the queen is still the head of the harem, and the matter between sun ronghua and Zhao Chongyi has been revealed, so don't involve the queen in the future.

There was no stupid woman in the harem, and everyone knew that, and so did Feng Jin, the emperor. When the empress was in a good mood, the banquet went on smoothly, and Zhuang Luoyan, who was teased by the emperor, was not humiliating in the eyes of the public, but made a lot of face.

The emperor knows that zhaochongyi loves delicious food, so he's more or less interested in it. He'd better be polite to her in the future. Don't get into trouble for no reason.

But it's just like this, because there are other more favored concubines here, such as Zhuang Luoyan. At most, they are favored, not holy.

Perhaps only Gao Dezhong, standing in the corner, understands that the emperor's words today are to protect not only the empress's dignity in the palace, but also

It's not a good thing to see Zhuang Luoyan, who is not the most eye-catching of all the concubines. A concubine who is not high in status is standing on the crest of the storm. What's more, this seal also involves the former dynasty and the empress of the imperial palace.
