His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rested in Ruiying Palace, the bedroom of Concubine Lin, for several consecutive nights, and the rewards for Concubine Lin flowed into Ruiying Palace continuously.

Everyone is saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is particularly fond of Concubine Lin, and even the Crown Princess has been left out in the cold.

There are even rumors that although the Crown Princess is the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites, but her biological father died young, the Crown Princess is not valued by the family in her natal family, and the Crown Princess does not have much help to His Highness the Crown Prince.On the other hand, Concubine Lin's father's family comes from the famous Lin family in the south of the Yangtze River, and her family is full of nobles. Her grandfather is also a minister of the cabinet, and has helped His Highness the Crown Prince a lot.It is logical that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince favors Concubine Lin.

Under the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Concubine Lin was also so high-profile that people looked at her. Not only did she dismiss the palace servants arranged by the Crown Princess, but she also selected a group of palace servants to serve as Ruiying Palace, and even went out to the ancestral home for several days in a row. Various rewards were carried out, and many old disciples and in-laws of the grandfather's family were successively promoted.

Even though he knew that the Lin family was a banner deliberately set up by His Highness the Crown Prince, Gu Fuyun still complained for the Crown Princess.However, she is a married woman, what can she do?

Concubine Lin of Crown Chong East Palace specially held a banquet in Ruiying Palace, inviting sisters who were good friends during the boudoir period to the palace to have a talk.

Gu Fuyun also received the post.

Looking at the bright gilt name stickers with a bunch of titles engraved on them, the concubine Lin of the Eastern Palace, the eldest daughter of the Lin family of a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the granddaughter of the cabinet minister Wang Shouwang, Gu Fuyun wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.

The laugh is that this Lin Xue still can't change her shit, and publicizes her identity as the eldest daughter of the Lin family and the granddaughter of a cabinet minister everywhere.What she cried was that the grievances between her and Lin Xue were well known to the world.Inviting her this time, I am afraid that the banquet will not be a good one.

But Chu Rui said: "You must go! I asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specifically, and there is no other meaning in inviting you into the palace this time. I just want to simply reminisce about the old days. But, according to the 'friendship' between you and Lin, you You have to be mentally prepared.”

Gu Fuyun lamented, it really was Qiu Hou who settled the score.

Sure enough, as Chu Rui guessed, Concubine Lin invited her former "girlfriends" this time not to reminisce about the past, but to show off when she returns home.Since it is to show off, she will naturally not do anything that hurts others. After all, the girls who could embarrass her in public in the past all have extraordinary backgrounds.Although she is deeply favored by the prince, she still has to worry about the family power behind these noble girls.

So even if Mrs. Lin wished to trample all the noble girls in front of her to clean up, she still smiled and greeted everyone to sit down and eat.

Apart from Gu Fuyun, Wang Jingqin, the cousin of Concubine Lin, was invited this time. Although the other ladies knew each other, they didn't know each other very well.She only knew that those who were invited into the palace today were all married.Although most of them were matched marriages, there were still two who only married students from poor families.

The two were arranged at the last table, but Lin Xue, who was sitting in the main seat, said with a smile: "Sister Zhang and Wu are both famous and talented women in the capital. Logically speaking, they should sit in the front. But we are all married, so we should be ranked according to the honor of our husband's family, so we have to wrong the two younger sisters to accompany us at the last table."

The faces of the two noble girls, Zhang and Wu, turned blue, but they could only swallow their anger when they saw Lin Xue, who was tall and dressed in splendid attire.

Lin Xue named a few more noble ladies. Although she was all smiles, the words she said were full of yin and yang, with various connotations.Most noble girls swallow their anger, after all, they are married and cannot be as presumptuous as they were in the boudoir.

Even Wang Jingqin, Wang Shouwang's direct granddaughter and Lin Xue's direct cousin, was crushed by Lin Xue's identity.

The family Wang Jingqin married was actually not bad. Her husband and son-in-law were old disciples of Wangge, and her father-in-law was one of the six families and nine ministers, but they all needed the support of the old Wangge.Even though she bears the title of eldest granddaughter of Ge Lao, under the dazzling halo of the favorite concubine of the Eastern Palace, she is still as bleak as a tiny star beside the bright moon.

Faced with this cousin who used to have to watch her stepmother's face when she was at home, and her aunt's face when she was living in a foreigner's house, Wang Jingqin felt sympathetic, and inevitably she would not have such a sense of superiority.But in the end, she was tricked by this cousin, causing her to lose her relationship with the imperial family.Although the Zhao family is also a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River, the cousin Xianyu turned over and still showed off in front of her. Is there any reason not to hate her?
Looking at the expressionless Wang Jingqin, drinking with an expressionless expression, drinking with Concubine Lin with an expressionless expression, and eating food with an expressionless expression, Gu Fuyun thought maliciously: Will this person become black?
Compared to the expressionless Wang Jingqin, Lin Xue's younger sister, Lin Shuang, appears to be more wealthy. Sitting in the first seat on the lower left of Concubine Lin, she and Concubine Lin have witty chatter, smile sweetly, and are kind You add, just like sisters.

Gu Fuyun secretly looked at Lin Xue, not missing the hatred in Lin Xue's eyes when she looked at Lin Shuang.

Smiling in his heart, he secretly observed Lin Shuang again.

I found out that although Lin Shuang was smiling happily, her elder sister and elder sister were so cordial, but the sense of humor did not reach the eye. After all, she is not very old, and has not yet practiced acting skills like a movie queen. It will be exposed a little.

Sure enough, Chu Rui guessed right. Although Lin Xue showed off that "I, Hu Hansan, is back", she crushed everyone in terms of momentum and identity, and did not take any actual action.

Of course, during the banquet, Gu Fuyun could also feel the arrogance from Lin Xue.

Some palace servants got a little edgy and accidentally spilled wine on the guest's dress, so Lin Xue ordered her to pull her down to beat twenty boards.

The concubine sent someone to give the food, and it was also to give face to the side concubine, to give face to everyone, and everyone couldn't afford it, and said to the eunuch sent by the concubine, "Thank you, concubine, for the food, I am not very honored."

Lin Xue, however, sat firmly on the throne, and said calmly, "The Crown Princess has a heart. Eunuch Wei, let's go. I will thank the Crown Princess personally when I have time."

Eunuch Wei looked dissatisfied, but he could only swallow his anger and leave.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, is this the confidence to win the Prince's favor?
Gu Fuyun was also a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at Lin Xue.Seeing Lin Xue's proud expression, she took in all the expressions of the people below. Facing Gu Fuyun's gaze, she smiled lightly, raised her eyebrows and said, "What is Mrs. Gu doing just looking at me? But the food in the East Palace is not satisfactory. Madame appetite?"

Gu Fuyun replied slowly: "The food in the Eastern Palace is naturally delicious, but the minister's wife has almost eaten enough."

Lin Xuedao: "I have heard for a long time that Mrs. Gu has a very good appetite, but I only ate such a small amount today, but these meals are not to my taste?" Without waiting for Gu Fuyun's answer, she immediately raised her voice, "Come here, serve Mrs. Gu's dishes again. You must satisfy Mrs. Gu."

Even though Gu Fuyun refused, but the palace servants would not listen to her opinion, quickly withdrew from the table and re-attended the table.

This time the new table is steamed pork belly with rice flour, braised pork knuckles in brown sauce, pork knuckles in cold sauce, stewed fat chicken, roasted fat duck...all greasy food.
