The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 177 177. Palace Banquet

Concubine Shu looked on with cold eyes, not caring at all about Concubine Wei's hatred.

The two of them have met before, but it’s a pity that Concubine Wei is too arrogant. How did she survive in a harem that eats people without spitting out their bones for more than 20 years?

 It seems that the Duke of Wei behind him is a difficult person to deal with.

"Your Majesty, Sister Wei only speaks out in a moment of anger. You must not take it to heart."

When Emperor Qi saw Concubine Wei leaving in grief and anger, he was naturally very angry, but then he thought that she was just a woman. If she hadn't been deeply in love with him, she wouldn't have been so angry. Thinking of many past feelings, he faced the palace next to him. said the man.

“Go and send the ice jade bracelet that Xueyu Kingdom paid tribute to Hanzhang Palace this time, and tell the noble concubine that I will treat her as before. If you have figured it out, you can come see me again.”

 After all, he is someone who has been with him for many years, so it is not easy to criticize him harshly.

 “Your Majesty is really nostalgic.”

Hearing Concubine Shu's joking, she was immediately seduced by her eyes. He held her in his arms and said, "It's not you who made me and the concubine estranged, and even sent the humerus to the emperor." Ling, they say beauty is a disaster, but when I saw your beauty, it turned out to be very powerful!"

"Humph, Your Majesty made up his own mind, and the decree he made was all blamed on me. If you say this, I will not dare to go to the palace banquet with you, lest others do the same as Your Majesty and say that I am a concubine. Disaster."

Emperor Qi almost couldn't help it because of his coquettish look, and whispered in her ear, "I am the True Dragon Emperor, are you afraid that I won't be able to suppress this trouble like you?"

Concubine Shu lowered her head and smiled softly, smiling.

In the Ninghui Hall, when the Queen arrived with everyone in the harem, Emperor Qi and Concubine Shu had not arrived yet.

 The palace servants whispered to her about Concubine Wei's confinement, and a proud smile soon appeared on her face.

The eldest princess next to her was also happy, "After all, the queen mother is so clever that she can overthrow the imperial concubine without even using a single soldier."

"It's too early to talk about bringing her down now, but she has been domineering in the harem for so many years, so she should learn how to write the word "suffering a loss".

 The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both showed successful smiles, and then heard the eunuch's voice coming from outside.

“Your Majesty has arrived, and Concubine Shu has arrived.”

 The queen led the people in the harem, and the eldest prince led the officials and envoys of the previous court to greet him respectfully.

 “Long live my emperor, long live me.”

Standing aside, Concubine Shu felt this kind of kneeling worship for the first time. Although she was a goddess in Tili, one person was inferior to ten thousand people, but she was guarding the goddess temple all day long, and the only people she came into contact with were maids. , what I feel now standing next to Qi Emperor is fresh power.

If she was selected to be sent for "marriage" in the past, she was still a little unhappy but had to do it. The current scene only made her desire for power grow in her heart.

 No wonder everyone in the world wants to be the Supreme. How many people can resist such a feeling?

 “All the ministers are at peace.”

 “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Qi took Concubine Shu to the main table in Ninghui Hall. On the left was the queen's throne. On the right, the seat farther back was originally Concubine Wei, but now it is empty.

The Queen walked quickly and came to Emperor Qi. She looked at Concubine Shu dignifiedly and said with surprise in her eyes, "Is this the sister of Concubine Shu whom Your Majesty has newly named? She is indeed an immortal descended from heaven, and she brought all the sisters in the harem to the throne." It’s been compared to that.”

 The sincere smile made Emperor Qi feel comfortable.

 “The queen is the queen.”

The following words were not said, but no one present could understand the meaning.

"I have met the Queen, and I wish her happiness forever." "Very good, not only is the person outstanding, but the rules are also very good. Your Majesty's vision is indeed extraordinary."

“Well, queen, let Concubine Shu come to your palace for hearing tomorrow. Today’s palace banquet, the envoys are waiting to celebrate.”

Emperor Qi spoke, but did not answer the Queen's words. She acted as if nothing had happened, "Your Majesty said that Sister Shu, Concubine Shu, should sit on that seat. It was originally prepared for Sister Concubine Shu. Now she is unwell. Come and sit." It’s okay.”

Concubine Shu, a new concubine, was able to enjoy this honor, but she was completely inferior to Concubine Liu Xian, who had followed Emperor Qi for many years. Unfortunately, her temperament was not good at fighting, so she bowed her head slightly and did not say a word about it. Word.

 He raised his head and glanced at Emperor Qi, as if he was asking if this was in line with the rules?

Emperor Qi thought for a while and then said, "Since the queen asks you to sit down, just sit down."

After hearing this, Concubine Shu replied more respectfully than obeying orders, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, the Queen."

After everyone above the chairman was seated, the eldest prince raised a toast. He was in a lot of limelight today. His father was absent, Duke Wei was demoted, and the ninth prince, who had always been on the same level as him, was nowhere to be found. .

He is the only one in Ninghui Palace. How can such a scene not be exciting?

“Father, mother, queen, and sons and ministers, I would like to borrow this thin glass of wine today to wish me a prosperous Jin Dynasty that will be passed on to all generations.”

“Okay, your Majesty’s words are very comforting to me. I’ll drink a full cup!”

After saying that, he picked up the golden cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp. The queen next to him also drank the wine together. The couple looked at each other and said nothing.

"The prince has made great progress recently, and the congratulations this time have been done well. The prince is about to give birth. In this case, why not have good things come in pairs? To convey my will, the eldest prince can be named Prince Ke to show his merits. .”

Prince Ke is the first prince of this dynasty. Although he is not a prince, he is already a higher rank than the other brothers. I originally thought that the ninth prince would be the first among the brothers to be crowned prince. Unexpectedly, God Sui Ren's wish actually fell on his head.

The queen was overjoyed, and the eldest prince was also filled with joy. He and his concubine knelt down to thank her.

When he stood up again, one of the courtiers spoke up and said, "Congratulations to Prince Ke, congratulations to Prince Ke."

The eldest prince was so happy that the corners of his mouth never curled up all night.

"Zheng Aiqing from the Ministry of Rites has also worked hard. Since the minister has retired and returned to his hometown, I will simply let you take this position. You should work harder in the future."

The order was issued urgently and quickly. Although it was expected, in the end it was better to actually implement it.

 Zheng Junyi, the Minister of Rites, immediately knelt down to thank God for his great kindness.

The Zheng family also became enthusiastic and became the target of toasts from various officials.

"My dear friends, there is no need to be restrained. Although it is a palace banquet, it is also a family banquet for the envoys to wash away their dust. Don't be formal, just be happy." Emperor Qi gave an order, drums and musical instruments were played one after another, and the dancers were alone. She jumped up gracefully, and the scene was relaxed and lively.

　　Gangs and cups mingled with each other, and drums and music played in unison.

 Emperor Qi drank a few drinks with the queen, and then turned affectionately towards Concubine Shu. Concubine Zhen behind her also rushed up to offer a toast. Wu Nong's whispering tone made Emperor Qi even more happy.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little tipsy, and then they heard a figure hurriedly walking in from outside, with a serious look on his face.
