The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 437 Reunion Year [Concubine Zhang returns with the ball] ([-])

"Zhaoyan." Empress Dowager Zhang called out, and the imperial concubine was stunned, as if she couldn't react for a moment.

Gongsun Zhaoyan was her boudoir name, since the late emperor passed away, no one has ever called her like that.

She turned her head slowly, her eyes fixed on the faint smile of Empress Dowager Zhang, "When you and I were fighting endlessly, you never called me by my name. You called me imperial concubine, Gongsun family, and slut .No one has called my name for so many years, and now I hear my name coming out of your mouth, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Why not Aijia?" Empress Dowager Zhang smiled wryly, "The late emperor left and took away the names and taboos of us. Everyone in this palace calls us honorifics when they see us, how many people can remember what we are called? "

"I remember." The imperial concubine said flatly: "Zhang Yu, the late emperor once said that the character Tiao is often used as a taboo name for men, and it is rare for a woman to get this character as a name."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded in relief, "You often said behind your back that the heroine of Aijia was male, and it was Kefu. Aijia remembered that for this matter, she ordered someone to slap thirty times in the face." She sighed, and said: "After all these years, do you still hate Aijia so much? Now that your son is married to Aijia's niece, speaking of it, you and Aijia are even closer."

"Xiaoxiao is a good girl, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a cruel aunt."

The back and forth whispers between the two aroused Xuan Jue and Chu Jin, who were sitting together on the high platform, to make up their minds. Chu Jin smiled, and said in a low voice without moving his lips and teeth: "Your Majesty, there is a quarrel."

"I know." Xuan Jue patted Chu Jin's thigh with his hand under the table, raised his eyebrows and smiled at her, "Look at me."

He cleared his throat, raised his glass and said in a loud voice: "Today's Spring Festival, all the concubines are here with me and my mother and empress. The imperial concubine has worked so hard to manage the affairs of the Six Palaces together with the empress all these years."

Xuan Jue drank the wine cup in one gulp, and the rest of the concubines also raised their glasses to drink the cups, talking about the Queen Mother Zhang's care for them and Xuan Jue's talent in politics.

Such compliments are just casual polite remarks, and no one would take them to heart.

But the imperial concubine let out a sudden outburst at this moment, embarrassing Xuan Jue and Queen Mother Zhang.

"The emperor's achievements in government are good, and he was able to recover even Youdu, which is worthy of praise. But he has also made meritorious deeds. Do you remember what foolish things the emperor did in the whole year before last? Huh?"

The imperial concubine's words were meant to reprimand Xuan Jue. Although she was the late emperor's concubine and Xuan Jue's elder, in terms of her status, how could a mere imperial concubine of the late emperor dare to teach her a lesson like this? emperor?

However, the person she mentioned was Haisheng and not Xuanjue, so Xuanjue was not angry, he just said: "What the imperial concubine said is very true, it is not too late for me to wake up and rein in the precipice."

The imperial concubine sneered and said: "If everything is wrong and you know it, you can show it off? You know that many people in this world are not wrong and still live on the tip of their swords every day." Her eyes were cold, and she glanced at the The embarrassing concubines under the hall said, "The Empress Dowager Zhang has taken good care of you? How much? The eaves of the Shoukang Palace were soaked in rain, and they urged the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deal with it repeatedly but failed. You have to go there yourself. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is going to invite people to complete the matter. The sky above your head is leaking, and you are still thinking about the 'good' that the Queen Mother has treated you, it is really not easy."

Her posture is not here to have a reunion dinner, she is clearly here to disrupt the situation.

Seeing that both Xuan Jue and Queen Mother Zhang were silent, Chu Jin couldn't bear it any longer.

She cleared her throat, and told Linglong in a voice that happened to be audible to everyone in the hall: "There is a glutinous rice dumpling for the meal. I think it is the favorite taste of the imperial concubine. You go and serve it first." On the imperial concubine's table, let her have a try."

"Empress, please don't make up your mind for me. Since when did I like to eat glutinous rice balls? I'm afraid that the empress thinks what I say is harsh, and she wants to use the sticky thing to shut up my mouth?"

"You know why don't you shut up soon?"

Chu Jin blurted out this sentence with a cold face, which shocked everyone.

The emperor and the queen mother haven't spoken yet, how could she, a queen, start admonishing the former imperial concubine?

The imperial concubine is not easy to provoke, and said in a choked voice: "The empress is presumptuous. I am the emperor's imperial concubine and your elder. Should you tell me what you said just now?"

Chu Jin smiled, "It turns out that the imperial concubine attaches so much importance to etiquette and rules? Then this palace is strange. The imperial concubine knows that her status is greater than this palace, but she doesn't know that the empress dowager is more important than you. Greater status than the empress dowager? Is what you said just now the etiquette for speaking to the emperor and empress dowager?"

"You..." the imperial concubine looked at Chu Jin angrily, and said with a sneer: "I heard that the queen has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. I have seen it today, and I really live up to my reputation."

These two women are both gunpowder-tempered. If they collide together, I am afraid that there will be no firecrackers left this year. With their abilities, if they really want to fight in Tonghuatai, they will not have to lift the roof of the eaves. ?

Xuan Jue held Chu Jin's hand secretly, then licked his smiling face and said to everyone: "It seems that the time is almost up, let's start the banquet."

"No." Empress Dowager Zhang stopped Xuan Jue in a steady voice, and looked at the imperial concubine with gloomy eyes.

From the corner of her eye, Xuan Jue caught a glimpse of Empress Dowager Zhang's angry eyes and felt startled.

It's over, it's over, if her mother-in-law gets involved again, it will really be a show with three women, and the singing will be lively.

"Mother, look, it's getting late, let's"

"Wait a little longer." Empress Dowager Zhang raised her hand to interrupt Xuan Jue, "There are still people who haven't arrived yet."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a dull and rough voice from the door, "Oh, I'm so exhausted! Oh, Sisi, hurry up! Auntie and the others are waiting for us!"

this sound.
Chu Jin got up from his seat, poked his head and looked out, wanting to prove whether the person who came was the one he had guessed.

When she saw Xiaoxiao wearing gold and silver and entering the room in a body full of jewels, the corners of her lips immediately rose, revealing a knowing smile.

"Jin'er!" Concubine Zhang waved at Chu Jin, and ran towards her in three steps at a time.

Hmm. It's still the same as before, the ground is shaking.
She walked down the hall, first saluted Empress Dowager Zhang and Xuan Juefu, then stepped forward and hugged Chu Jin.

Such a hug almost made Chu Jin suffocate.

She subconsciously pushed Xiaoxiao away a little, and unconsciously fixed her eyes on her stomach.

But I haven't seen her for a year, but Xuan Fing has raised her very well.

The person gained weight again, especially the belly, which looked like she was pregnant.

Chu Jin touched her round belly, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Xiaoxiao, Zhou Cheng's food is a bit too good, right?"

"Of course, Xiaoxiao can be wronged by following me?"

Xuan Bing followed Xiao Xiao into the room, and the eyes of the imperial concubine were filled with tears, which were fixed on him and refused to move away.

Xuan Ping cupped his hands and bowed to the first few people in turn, "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Happy New Year, and good luck and prosperity."

After Xuan Jue hurriedly ordered him to avoid Liping, he then looked at the imperial concubine, bowed down to pay respects, and said in a deep voice, "Son, please greet the concubine mother."

He bent his knees and wanted to kneel down, but the imperial concubine quickly got up and helped her, with tears in her eyes, but a gentle smile on her lips, "Silly boy, hurry up, sit down."
