Chapter 75

Concubine Liang's return to the palace made the palace lively for a while.

The empress personally set up a reception banquet, which seemed to give the concubine Liang enough face. The concubines who were waiting to watch the show were a little confused for a while what the empress's intention was.

The reception banquet was held in the Qingliang Hall, and all the empresses of the palace were invited, except Concubine Shu who said she was sick, and the full harem was all present, it was really lively.

Concubine Rong's complexion was not good due to the family accident, she used to be the most escaped, but now she has become dull and silent.

Concubine De suffered successive setbacks at the empress's hands, and now she has lost the vigor she had when she first met. Princess Chaoyang came to the table to take a look, and found that the concubines had a faint feeling that no one could rival the empress.

The queen has only been in the palace for half a year, but she is already so powerful?

Everyone at the banquet had different expressions, and even the good wine and food didn't taste much.

"Liang Concubine's younger sister must have lived a poor life in the imperial mausoleum, she seems to have lost some weight?" Concubine Xian turned her head to talk to Liang Concubine, and said with a smile on her face: "The clothes are also much lighter."

"Let the concubine Xian laugh at you. She is in the imperial mausoleum with her ancestors. How dare she dress up?" Concubine Liang raised her hand to touch the headdress, and said with a shy smile, "Today is the empress's banquet. It is the best that a concubine can wear."

"Look at what Concubine Liang said, is she criticizing the Palace for not rewarding me?" Si Ningchi sipped his cup, looked up at her and smiled, "Concubine Liang confiscated a lot of jewelry and clothing from Yufu Palace. what."

"The Empress forgives the sin, but the concubine has no such intention." Concubine Liang quickly lowered her head, and said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the concubine wants to pray for Concubine Rong for the last time after the Ghost Festival. Change to a satin skirt."

Concubine Liang's words are really loyal and filial, she seems to be a queen, isn't she still wearing sackcloth to show her filial piety?
Si Ningchi raised his eyebrows, looked at her elegant attire, bent his lips and smiled and said, "I am worried about how to arrange the ancestor worship, and the concubine Liang is so loyal and filial, why don't you be in charge of burning the paper ingots and offering sacrifices to the ancestors?" The dead are fine."

"The concubine Liang is so kind-hearted, she must be able to pray for the peace of the soul of the dead." Si Ningchi put down the cup in his hand, looked at her with a slight smile and said, "What does Concubine Liang think?"

"Since the Empress gave the order, how can Concubine Liang shirk it?" Before Concubine Liang could speak, Princess Chaoyang spoke first: "It is the responsibility of a concubine to share the worries of the Emperor and Empress, so Sister Liang Concubine should do so. .”

"The concubine thanked the empress for her trust, and the concubine will definitely pray well." Concubine Liang bowed her head in agreement.

"Empress, do you want to invite the master to enter the palace to chant sutras this year?" Concubine Xian said, "In previous years, we would set up an altar at the palace gate to save the souls of the dead and make the palace peaceful. Will we continue this year?"

"Extending the ritual is a great act of kindness, let's continue as usual." Si Ningchi raised his eyes, responding very casually.

The meeting master is very famous in Beijing, I heard that the meeting master had extraordinary mana when he was young, he even killed demons, he is afraid that he will ascend to immortality in the future.

No matter how many people in the capital want to ask the master of the meeting, they will not be able to ask him a hexagram. In the past few years, the master of the meeting has become even more sought after because he was able to enter the palace to practice.

Concubine Xian and Master Yingying are old acquaintances. It is said that because Concubine Xian's mother believed in Buddhism, she had a relationship with Master Yingying. Zhou Xuan was able to invite the meeting master into the palace.

"The emperor has arrived—" When the hall was bustling with excitement, a loud voice came from outside the hall.

During the banquet, all the concubines stood up to greet him.

Si Ningchi raised her eyebrows at Zhao Zongheng's striding figure, she thought he wouldn't come to join in the fun.

"The concubine sees the emperor." Si Ningchi bowed his head slightly to salute.

"Everyone sit down." Zhao Zongheng took a step forward, took Si Ningchi's hand very skillfully, and pulled her to sit on the main seat, and waved his other hand to signal the others to stand up.

"Why did the emperor come here free?" Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Zongheng and said.

"Passing by, let's see you." Zhao Zongheng raised his eyes to look at Si Ningchi, and never let go of her hand.

Concubine De and the others had watched this scene too much, but Concubine Liang was stunned for a long time before she sat back on her seat blankly. Looking sideways, she could still see the hands of the Empress.

The smile on Concubine Liang's face dissipated, and she looked straight at Zhao Zongheng with her eyes, as if she was shocked and puzzled, but with a bit of confusion.

Si Ningchi stared at Zhao Zongheng, trying to withdraw his hand.

Zhao Zongheng reluctantly let go, what's wrong with holding it...

"Brother, you haven't seen Concubine Liang after she returned to the palace." Princess Chaoyang frowned a little dissatisfied when she saw the intimate behavior of the two emperors and empress, and said actively: "Brother Huang has been prepared in Yufu Palace." Favorite refreshments, Sister Liang specially brought back all the scrolls that the emperor loves."

"It's still early today, the emperor wants to go and see those scrolls?" Princess Chaoyang said with a smile: "Sister Liang is a treasure. How long has it been?"

Zhao Zongheng listened to his thoughts, and wanted to take a look for a moment.

The world is extinct, and he has indeed searched for that picture scroll for a long time.

But...

Zhao Zongheng glanced at Si Ningchi who was sitting beside him, raised his eyes, and said with a gentle expression: "Famous paintings are rare, and since the concubine Liang is a treasure, how can I take what others like."

"I'm still thinking about the red bean porridge from Fengwu Palace." Zhao Zongheng turned his head slightly to Si Ningchi and said, "This banquet is for Princess Chaoyang and Concubine Liang, please enjoy yourself."

"The queen will follow me back to the palace?"

"..."

Zhao Zongheng abducted the queen with a few words. After a good banquet, the concubines had not had time to perform well because of the emperor's arrival, and the emperor left.

Princess Chaoyang's hope was in vain, and seeing the back of the empress going away, she just felt that her heart was blocked for a long time and she couldn't let it out.

In the end, the banquet was no fun, Princess Chaoyang and Concubine Liang followed closely behind, and all the concubines saw that the rightful lord had left, so what did they keep?
Since they left one after another, on the way back to Yufu Palace, Princess Chaoyang held Concubine Liang's hand a little bit resentfully, and said: "It's rare to see the emperor today, why didn't you say anything?"

"Let the emperor follow the queen back to the palace, what kind of red bean porridge is not available in any other palace? Is it worth the emperor's rarity?" Princess Chaoyang stared at Concubine Liang earnestly and said: "Don't be so non-competitive, the one who is wronged is yourself. "

"Princess, I just..." Concubine Liang felt a little uncomfortable, her mind was now full of the emperor holding the queen's hand, the emperor's expression when talking to the queen.
