Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 55 Mid-Autumn Banquet ([-])

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the appearance of the banquet, the queen must have put her heart into it.

At least Yao Jinse is quite satisfied.

In the mid-autumn reunion festival, the three unavoidable things are to enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes to talk about reunion, but it has just entered the night, and it is not the best time to enjoy the moon.

Moreover, most of the concubines at the palace banquet were not focused on admiring the moon.

The moon is hanging in the sky, and it can't run, but the emperor really can run, and most of the concubines don't have any good scenes to meet the emperor. After all, Xie Yun'an is not as powerful as he was later, arbitrarily ruling the court , so many times, after all, we still have to focus on the front court, not the harem.

And at this time, the favor that the concubines grab is the real favor.

After Yao Jinse took a sip of the soup, she squinted her eyes and glanced around. The eager expressions of the people in the group below fell into her eyes, and they all had their own thoughts.

Tonight is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to get ahead.

If he can win the first prize at this dinner party and win the favor of the emperor, then the days to come will definitely be much easier.

They are all new concubines who have entered the palace, and they still have a bit of enthusiasm in their hearts. They naturally think that they still have a chance.

Yao Jinse doesn't think so.

Xie Yun'an is a man of affection at best, but at worst, he is just a lustful and foolish king.

When there is pressure outside, he can still maintain his image of being diligent and caring for the people, but if there is no pressure, he doesn't have to worry about his image of being diligent.

The queen mother was worried that Xie Yun'an would have nothing to do in the harem, but it was actually a bit redundant.

The most honorable mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty actually didn't know her son very well.

When the government outside stabilizes, how many children will there be in this palace—of course, it is another calculation to survive.

As Yao Jinse thought about it, he glanced at the three above from the corner of his eye.

The Empress Dowager has been operating in the palace for many years. Although she doesn't care about the outside affairs on the surface, she knows everything in the harem like the back of her hand, and she is a person who doesn't like to manage palace affairs.

Although the queen has just entered the palace, but she was able to walk from the daughter of a small official's family all the way to the princess, and then to the queen's position. In terms of ability, she is not so much the emperor's wife as she is the emperor's courtier.

The harem is nothing more than an extension of the power of the previous dynasty, and it is also a means to balance the power of the previous dynasty. The empress's ability to balance the two sides has already proved her ability to the emperor.

In all fairness, Yao Jinse couldn't do this by himself.

But at the same time, she also has self-knowledge. Some things should be done by who has already been determined. Why compare her own shortcomings with other people's strengths?
Living in the palace is already very hard, and it is already very difficult to make a living. Under such circumstances, it is actually very unwise to fight and compete with others.

It is more like a thief who steals happiness, but everyone has mistakes. People can often see the good things in others, but they can’t see the bad things in others. If you blindly look at the good things in others, you will naturally feel that your life is very good. not good.

If you feel unbalanced, your mentality will be unbalanced. If a person is so jealous that he goes crazy, he will make mistakes and do many things beyond reason.

Yao Jinse naturally didn't want to let herself become like that, but she watched coldly, there were definitely not a few people in the harem who would become like this.

Sitting in her seat, the concubine looked a little lazy.

Although she came with the emperor, the reason why she came with the emperor today is because she is not feeling well, but in such a family reunion day, she can't disappoint, so after meeting the emperor, she came together .

The food on the palace banquet may be rare for those low-ranking concubines, but for the noble concubine, it is often available, so she doesn't think there is anything special about it, let alone today. On this occasion, she really has no appetite.

Yao Jinse felt that the dishes were very appetizing, and the chefs in the palace were so skilled that even the dishes on the flowing water table could make some flowers.

She has never eaten it in her previous life, and she is not willing to spend money to eat such a good dish. She has traveled through this life, and she did not enjoy the delicacies of mountains and seas when the original owner was pregnant. Confinement has restored Jieyu's status, so she won't be able to eat so many good things.

So she looked at the imperial concubine there and didn't eat anything, while she ate very deliciously.

The Empress Dowager occasionally puts two chopsticks of food into her mouth, and her old man is also observing the reactions of the people in the harem. The Empress Dowager is very satisfied with the new concubines who are eager to try.

Why do people keep coming into this palace?

It's simply because people who stay in this palace for a long time will always become boring. Even if they want to fight, they will more or less take into account the appearance of decency.

But these newcomers are different. They have not been polished by the court, and they are not very old.

The Queen Mother likes these.

These newcomers are like the wind blowing from outside the palace, occasionally once or twice they can stir up this old palace.

Just like Qiao Yanran.

Since that day, Qiao Yanran had registered in front of the emperor, and she had been favored for a few days, but then she caught up with the emperor and was busy with court affairs, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Most people in the harem thought that Qiao Yanran was the same as the previous ones. After being favored for a few days, she was never summoned by the emperor again, but Yao Jinse knew that the truth was not the case.

The emperor is just busy, not forgot about Qiao Yanran, not to mention Qiao Yanran is not so simple, this heroine has both true feelings and glory and wealth in her heart, and she belongs to the kind who needs to be tough with both hands. kind.

It cannot be speculated by common sense.

And at this dinner party, Qiao Yanran was quiet.

It was probably because she did not intend to rashly stand out on such an occasion, so even when other concubines who were also newcomers took the initiative to perform, she did not act.

With the beginning of the first person, the newcomers began to enter the stage one by one. Although this was not arranged by the empress before, the empress is also used to such things happening at palace banquets, so it is not difficult to sit on the side. Very steady.

But the imperial concubine was not very comfortable.

The imperial concubine was already feeling unwell today, and she was forced to come to such an occasion, and she also had to watch these wild bees and butterflies in the harem competing for beauty in front of the emperor, so she naturally felt unwell, so she couldn't eat any more.

She made a big move here, and naturally many eyes were cast over her, including the emperor's.
