Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 320 What a gap!

Come out of Zhongcui Palace.

Pei Yao's complexion was extremely bad.

What he felt now was that he had eaten a fly and couldn't swallow it or spit it out. It was so disgusting.

When I was angry just now, I really wanted to return the 5 taels donated by Yang directly to her.

But reason finally prevailed and I didn't act impulsively.

It's not that there is a real shortage of the 5 taels of silver, but that the Yang family holds the military power and has to give some face, which is not easy to do too badly.

There is still a war going on with the Shangyang Kingdom in the north. Although there is no need to send troops to support elsewhere, there is always something to be prepared for when the battle line is lengthened.

No matter how powerful the emperor is, it still remains true that water can carry or overturn a boat, so he cannot completely ignore his courtiers.

"Your Majesty has not finished your dinner, so I sent someone to go to the dining room to inform you and get ready."

Following Yu Tuo, Hong Zheng said in a low voice.

I didn’t even take two bites just now.

"No need." Pei Yao refused, thought for a while, and then said, "Let's go to Yuzhang Palace."

"Yes." Hong Zheng responded, and then shouted loudly, "Show off to Yuzhang Palace!"

When Pei Yao came over, Fang Yun was eating with his two children.

Nowadays, the second princess eats her own food, and the fourth prince, who is younger but has reached the age where he can eat mush, is also fed by his wet nurse.

Fang Yun was a little surprised when he heard that the emperor was here.

What happened? Didn't you go to Zhongcui Palace?
At this time, dinner should not be finished yet, so why are you here with her?

Concubine Yang was so eager to keep someone, but she failed?
Logically speaking, she donated 5 taels, and Pei Yao went to Zhongcui Palace to show her respect. There was no surprise, so she should stay one night.

Full of doubts, Fang Yun put down his bowls and chopsticks and went out to pick up the driver.

When he saw the person, he noticed that Pei Yao had a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty." Fang Yun leaned forward, "Why is your Majesty here? Didn't you say you were going to Zhongcui Palace for dinner today?"

"Don't mention it, I'll still eat at your place and ask someone to bring me some more bowls and chopsticks."

Pei Yao waved his hands irritably.

Seeing this, Fang Yun didn't say much. He ordered Yan Wei to arrange the arrangements, and then led the people into the house.

"Son, pay respects to Father Emperor!"

In the room, the second princess got down from the small chair, followed the example of her mother-in-law, and bowed to salute.

The fourth prince, who was being fed egg custard by the wet nurse next to him, also cooed a few times.

Seeing the cute children, Pei Yao felt a little relieved.

But then I remembered that today in Zhongcui Palace, I didn’t even see the shadow of the third prince. Concubine Yang didn’t even mention the child. She talked all about Fang Yun and Fang Yun. She seemed to miss Fang Yun more than the child. Much like.

"Good boy, let's go eat." Pei Yao bent down and touched the second princess's head, saying gently.

You can't treat one more favorably than another, so the fourth prince's little head was also rubbed.

Fang Yun saw that Pei Yao was not in a good mood, so he motioned to Yan Wei to arrange to take the two children down and go to the side hall for dinner.

Here, Qing Rong added bowls and chopsticks, and Fang Yun first served Pei Yao a small bowl of soup with his own hands.

"Your Majesty, let's have a bowl of rice wine and glutinous rice balls first. It's sweet but not greasy, it's appetizing and moisturizing for the lungs."

Guessing that Pei Yao was in a bad mood, he must not have eaten much at Zhongcuigong, so he moistened his throat first to avoid having a bad appetite and not being able to eat at her place.

Pei Yao took the small bowl and drank a few sips. His stomach felt much better and his mood calmed down a lot.

Fang Yun didn't say anything, and just drank the rice wine in small sips.

Sure enough, after Pei Yao calmed down, he took the initiative to speak.

"You don't know, I just had dinner in Zhongcui Palace, and Concubine Yang really had a lot of thoughts, which made me upset. There were a bunch of things in the court that I hadn't sorted out yet, and she came to make trouble again. !"

This was the first time Pei Yao had complained like this directly in front of her, and it was Concubine Yang who complained.Fang Yun's words sounded very pleasant to the ears, and the corners of his lips curled up.

"It's not the first day that the emperor has met Concubine Yang. Isn't she always such a personality? Well, now that the emperor is here, I don't need to mention anyone else. I want to be spoiled."

Although he loves to listen, Fang Yun doesn't like to complain.

It's useless, and don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. She doesn't like to hear complaints, so she talks less.

If there is anything unsatisfactory, it is best and happiest to solve it yourself.

In the past, Pei Yao might have just listened to these words and said no more, but it was obviously different today.

Just now in Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Yang really stayed with Fang Yun, which made her have a headache. When she came to Yuzhang Palace, Fang Yun even advised him not to think about other people.

This comparison, this, this, this, what a gap!

Pei Yao sighed and told the truth directly.

"I don't want to say anything about her, but she thought she was the only one who donated money to the army, and it's human nature to ask for credit. But she wants to step on you and sing along with that maid. , treating me like a fool, really."

Pei Yao didn't know what to say.

He was so helpless, Fang Yun showed a gentle smile at the right time.

"The emperor knows in his heart how I am, so just don't believe what others say. I don't care about the false reputation. As long as I can help the emperor, if the emperor is happy, I will be happy too."

"Of course I believe you."

Seeing the calm and peaceful smile of the woman in front of him, Pei Yao's tone softened unconsciously.

After coaxing everyone, this dinner went smoothly.

Naturally, Pei Yao didn't leave that night.

And when he stayed in Yuzhang Palace, Zhongcui Palace naturally became a joke in the eyes of others.

The emperor took the initiative to go to Zhongcui Palace for dinner, but he didn't have any time at Zhongcui Palace, so he went to Yuzhang Palace and stayed overnight.

Not to mention the concubines, in the eyes of the people in the palace, this means that Concubine Zhao is more favored than Concubine Yang!
If it was said that some of the servants in the palace secretly supported Concubine Yang because of Concubine Yang's mother's family, but after tonight, many people changed their minds.

Don't say that the minds of these unknown people are useless. The gathering of people's hearts is popularity, prestige, and appeal.

If you want to win over people's hearts, install eye spies, and expand your wings, it will be even more convenient.

Of course, some people are proud and some are frustrated.

When she heard that the emperor had gone to Yuzhang Palace, Concubine Yang was almost furious.

The next morning I asked him to say hello, but he just said he was sick and didn't go.

Of course, this still prevented her from becoming the butt of the joke that morning and being talked about in a weird way.

But Fang Yun's mind is not on this.

Now she is concerned about the fourth prince's first birthday banquet in a few days.

No, there was a tacit understanding. After the morning greetings were over, the queen took the initiative to speak, leaving Fang Yun to discuss the fourth prince's first-year banquet.

Back when she was in the East Palace, she really didn't have to worry about it at all. After all, at the second princess's first birthday party, she was just Liangdi, and she didn't even have the position of a concubine, so she was not qualified to entertain guests.

But it's different now. She is a serious second-rank concubine, the lord of the first palace, and the birth mother of the prince. When the time comes, she will be required to participate in every important procedure.

Fang Yun naturally knew it, so he listened very carefully.

For the first time, I was afraid of breaking the rules and being ashamed.

Fortunately, the queen is not the kind of screwdriver that is harmful to people's minds, and she teaches everything carefully, which also makes Fang Yun feel at ease.

In the next few days, Fang Yun secretly filled in the identity information of the guests who were going to the palace for the banquet.

The fourth prince's first birthday banquet came smoothly.

　Pei Yao: It's better for me, Yoon Yoon
　　Concubine Yang: Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine.
　　Fang Yun: Put on the silencer
