Chapter 728 Inner Battle (3)
But after entering the palace, it was the place where the emperor and the empress lived. No matter how violent she was, would she still dare to openly ignore the rules and legal principles of the palace?

Naturally, these daughters-in-law who were born in the family of ministers in the court were very excited to let this mighty Princess Xiang salute them.

Mu Xiang stepped forward, her eyes only swept across them, and she didn't stop for a second. Finally, she stood still in front of the queen, slightly bent her knees, joined hands, and greeted the queen.

Empress Dou smiled generously and pretended to remind: "Today, the palace is not only hosting a banquet for the princess, the emperor has recruited several beauties, and the princess should also meet."

The meaning couldn't be more obvious. He wanted her to bow her knees to the newly favored woman.Empress Dou's move was to establish prestige, and to suppress Mu Xiang's arrogance.Not to mention anything else, as long as she can see Mu Xiang bowing to her, she will be very happy.

Mu Xiang glanced at the two groups of people present, her eyes fell on the only vacant seat in the hall, and she smiled mockingly, "I am sorry, Empress, I am sorry for the inconvenience today, I am afraid it is not allowed to salute, besides, the door The wind is too strong and I am weak, please ask the palace servants to lift my seat to the middle of the hall!"

The lowest position was reserved for her, and if it was placed a little further outside, it would have to be placed in the corridor outside the palace.

Everyone was startled, the smile on the empress's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, as for these beauties, they all looked angry, they are the women of Emperor Tang, no matter what Princess Xiang is, she is also the wife of a courtier, how could she Dare to disrespect them.

These people were stunned, but no one moved the table and chairs.

The maids and eunuchs didn't dare to move, the queen didn't speak, and the position was placed by the queen's order, they also knew the meaning, if the queen didn't speak, how could they dare to move.

"You don't move, do you? The empress's person really has a big score, alas, please don't move," Mu Xiang also put away her smile, only a trace of coldness remained on her face.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Zhong strode over, slipped one in each hand, then strode back, and placed a table and a chair in front of the Queen, directly in front of everyone.

Mu Xiang finally had a smile on her face, "My own people are the most effective, alas, I don't know what the empress will invite me to eat, all beauties, why don't you hurry up and watch me do what? Hurry up and eat. No one knows what tomorrow will be like. I heard that there was a tradition of burial in the past. I don’t know if it will continue now. Why don’t I suggest to the people in the Ministry of Rites how to restart the tradition of burial with concubines? To prevent the emperor from entering the world of gods and loneliness , what can I do if there is no beauty to serve me!"

She said it lightly, but the faces of the beauties changed when they heard it. Those who held the cup dropped the cup, and those who held the chopsticks dropped the chopsticks. Some people's eyes turned red.

They were still young, and the wealth and honor in front of them looked very attractive, but the emperor was old, and now he was seriously ill.If the emperor walks away, they will all be imprisoned in the cold palace, or... or as the woman said, buried with them?
Mu Xiang was very satisfied with their expressions, and without waiting for the queen to speak, she said, "What are you all afraid of? Maybe the emperor and the people in the Ministry of Rites will not agree to the funeral, or the emperor's grace is so great that it is not impossible to let you go home. !"

Speaking of this, the meaning is obvious.

Whether to be buried with her or to return home alive depends on her words. The ridiculous thing is that they still don't know the situation, and they thought they could rely on the queen and help the queen pair against her.

Why don't they think about it, no matter whether the emperor is dead or not, the queen is always the queen, how can she be like them!

Empress Dou's exquisite eyebrows suddenly frowned, "Princess Xiang is cursing the emperor's funeral? The emperor is just sick, and he will recover in a short time. Princess Xiang has no words to hide. Do you know that this is a capital crime? I will mausoleum you." Death is never too late!"

Everyone sitting there was shocked.

He An observed the master's expression from the corner of his eye. Fortunately, he was not angry yet, and there was no sign of turning the table.

Mu Xiang put the red sable on the table, and glanced at everyone present, because they were sitting with their backs to the queen, and no one could see anyone's expression, but she saved her eyes, "Queen, don't button your hat indiscriminately, I Have you ever cursed the emperor, has any of you heard it?"

The beauties off the court looked at each other, naturally they had a clear mind, stood up, and gave the queen a little blessing, "I also ask the empress to calm down, Princess Xiang is worrying about the emperor's hundred years later, It is not stated clearly whether it is now or in the future, no one is dead, and the question of longevity and coffin is all for joy, and the princess is also kind."

With the first person defecting, the second person immediately joined in.Some said it in a low voice, some said it aloud, and some stood up to support Mu Xiang.Support is all support, but dare not criticize the queen, she is the master of the harem, and they are as cheap as ants in the eyes of the queen.If the queen wants to kill them, it's not as simple as crushing an ant.

At first, most of them were secretly excited and compared to each other just for the favor in front of them, but Mu Xiang's words were like pouring cold water on them, extinguishing the little flame that had sprung up in their hearts. .

They also understood the biggest difference between the Queen and Princess Xiang.

One is to fool people with pleasant words, and keep others in the dark, only she understands clearly.

Princess Xiang was different. Although she spoke frankly, it was undeniable that she was telling the truth.

The so-called loyal words are harsh to the ears, although they are not pleasant to the ears, they are also true.

Empress Dou held back her anger, wishing she could step forward and rip the faces apart.Dare to openly oppose her, when the emperor is dead, do you think she is abolished?

"Have you said enough? It's not up to you to question what this palace is doing, nor is it up to you to teach me a lesson, and it's not up to a princess to interfere with the royal affairs. If you don't want to eat, you can go now." Guard the emperor, if the emperor summons the concubines, you can still serve, so go!"

It's disgusting to think about serving a dying man and an old man.

But there is no way, they are concubines of Emperor Tang, logically speaking, that's how it should be.

"Yes, the concubine found out, so I'm leaving now!"

The queen made it clear that she was a bomber, so how dare they not leave.

"Wait," Mu Xiang said just as they were about to leave, "don't go, my concubine just came out from the emperor, the emperor needs to recuperate from his illness, you will only chatter when you go, disturbing the emperor's rest, Wait here, whoever the emperor wants to summon will be reported by eunuchs, my concubine doesn't like to eat too few people, eating like that is not lively, these dishes are cold, change another table."
