All the concubines naturally stood up to greet him in silence.

It was not until the empress, the eldest princess, and the eldest prince and the second prince were seated together that they saluted together: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the empress is a thousand lives, a thousand lives, a thousand lives."

Situ Ji said indifferently: "No need to be polite, just take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, the Queen." The concubines, headed by Concubine Li and Concubine Ning, agreed and sat down.

As Yin Ruhua swept through the palace banquet, she naturally took note of the dressing of the concubines, but her eyes fell on Yue Guiren.

Yue Guiren's clear water hibiscus appearance is really exquisite, and only when she was a girl in her prime, she could not be inferior to her.

As for the others, it's really a lot bleaker.

Yin Ruhua said: "Yue Guiren is pregnant now, why did you come to attend the palace banquet? I specially ordered someone to pass the message so that you can rest in Yuehua Palace."

Yue Guiren stood up and said: "Returning to the Queen, I grew up among the people. For me, the palace is a place comparable to the heavenly palace. I have never seen the annual banquet in the palace, so I thought Come and have a look."

Of course, Yu Concubine, Zhen Concubine and other concubines are not satisfied either. This little prodigal is just here to show off!
Concubine Ning was from the same camp after all, so she helped to speak, "It is reasonable for Yue Guiren to be curious."

Concubine Li said: "Even so, Yue Nobleman still has to worry about the child in his belly, so he has to pay attention to it, it's freezing and snowy."

"Thank you for your concern, my concubine." Yue Guiren promised.

Yin Ruhua looked at Situ Ji with a smile, "Your Majesty is so lucky to have such a beauty as Yue Guiren."

Situ Ji glanced at his little queen, and after understanding her eyes, he smiled in his heart.

Even though we all know each other’s details, we still feel sour.

He looked at Mr. Yue, "I've been busy with government affairs lately, so I didn't go over to see you. Are you still used to living in the palace?"

As soon as Situ Ji's caring words came out, the eyes of all the concubines fell on Yue Guiren, especially the Ling concubines, whose eyes were really quenched with poison.

This cheap maid really caught the emperor's attention as soon as she arrived!
With all the concubines' gazes on her, Yue Guiren said with gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Everything is fine with me in Yuehua Palace, and the people in the palace are taking good care of me."

Situ Ji just nodded, "Right now, Concubine Li is assisting the queen in managing the palace affairs, but the queen has the eldest princess and the eldest prince and the second prince to take care of. If you need anything, please send someone to speak to Concubine Li."

Concubine Li looked at Situ Ji and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I often send people to visit Noble Yue." Then she also said to Noble Yue, "The Emperor attaches great importance to the son of Noble Yue, so if you need anything, Just send someone to tell me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Empress, and Concubine Li." Guiren Yue naturally expressed her gratitude.

Yin Ruhua: "Sit down, I am still pregnant with the prince, so there is no need to be so polite."

"It seems that grandma has taught her well and her etiquette is very thoughtful." Concubine Ning said with a smile.

Yin Ruhua said to Situ Ji: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, but he has to go to the harem to visit the concubines. When he has some free time after the new year, it is better to get the rain and dew equally, so that the concubines can be like the moon nobles and provide the emperor with more children. .”

All the concubines were also happy at the Queen's words, and they all looked at the Emperor.

Situ Ji said: "The queen has a kind and gentle temperament, and she is always kind and generous to the concubines in the harem. You must also respect the queen. If you are disrespectful, I will definitely punish you severely!"

"The concubines must respect the Queen and never disobey her!" Concubine Li was the first to say.Concubine Ning and other concubines also responded one after another.

After saying this, those kabuki dancers came in. Although the scale was reduced, how could we not watch singing and dancing on a day like the annual banquet?
The eldest prince and the second prince were a little bored and wanted to struggle, but when they saw these voices coming up, they became quiet and started to watch them.

This was not the first time Yunyang had seen such a scene. This was no longer new to him, and it was a bit boring to stay there.

Seeing Concubine Li waving to her, she told her mother, and after her mother agreed, she came over to sit with Concubine Li.

Concubine Ning naturally saw this scene in her eyes and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Because Concubine Li is really far-sighted, she expressed her loyalty to the Queen early on, and gained the Queen's trust. Now, in this harem, besides the Queen, she has the greatest power.

But Concubine Ning was not envious.

Because even though she gained the Queen's trust and importance, she was also completely dependent on the Queen.

This means that Li Fei will not have children of her own.

This can be seen from the fact that the emperor does not go to Concubine Li!

Concubine Ning couldn't accept this, because if she wanted to give birth to her own child, she had to give birth to her own child. Otherwise, how could she stand firm?

No one can be relied on, you can only rely on yourself!

Yu Bin, who was next to Ling Bin, laughed softly and said: "It's a pity that Sister Ling Bin dressed up like this today. The emperor's eyes were attracted by Yue Guiren, but he didn't even look at my sister from the beginning to the end. One glance.”

Concubine Zhen also laughed, "Who says it's not the case? I was shocked when I saw Concubine Ling dressed up like this. I never thought that Lady Yue, without any attire, would actually outshine all of us when she came out with such a clear soup." Especially her belly is full of energy, I really can’t blame the emperor for thinking about her."

Although Ling Concubine wanted to tear Yue Guiren, a cheap maid, alive, she also knew that Zhen Concubine and Yu Concubine were trying to provoke her into laughing.

She smiled lightly and said: "You two sisters don't have to take fifty steps instead of a hundred steps. We are all the same. Calculate, how long has it been since the emperor went to sister Yubin? And sister Zhenbin, it seems that she returned halfway. You want to intercept someone, but you end up intercepting nothing, right? It’s really a waste of all your efforts.”

Of course, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Yu didn't look good, but they still smiled and said: "It's only been a while since Yue Guiren entered the palace, and he actually had a dragon heir, but it's been a long time for you, sister, right? And the emperor also loves you, sister." , why is there no good news about my sister? It was such a pity last time, when the emperor misunderstood that my sister had poisoned her, and asked her to run back to Feng Xiangguo, and then she had a miscarriage."

This is exposing people's wounds.

Sure enough, Ling's concubine's expression changed, but she was also a tolerant person. She chuckled and said, "That's better than my sisters. They didn't even hear a sound from the beginning to the end. It's so shameful to go find the imperial doctor and take care of yourself." Check your pulse, but don’t have any hidden disease and you can’t lay eggs.”

Concubine Zhen and Concubine Yu almost went up to beat them. This bitch dared to insinuate that they were hens that couldn't lay eggs!

But on such an occasion, they would never dare to make any noise.

I can only curl my lips and say no more.

There was singing and dancing, and the concubines were chatting and laughing, at least on the surface it looked that way.

When the time was almost up, Situ Ji took Yin Ruhua and his children over to the Empress Dowager Qin's place for a reunion dinner.

This is the real New Year's Eve dinner. The previous one at Minghua Hall was just a ceremony.
