The empress wiped away her tears, "Does the emperor really like that woman so much? By giving her the title of imperial concubine, is he going to hand over the country as well?"

The emperor sighed, "The imperial concubine has a strong personality, I actually don't like to go to her palace very much, but whenever I encounter troubles, the civil and military courts will only ask me to do this or that, only the imperial concubine, she always I can speak to my heart in one sentence." When the emperor said this, he thought of that cold face again. She was never gentle, but the words she said always made him feel at ease.

"Loyal words are hard to hear, Your Majesty..."

The empress wanted to say something, but the emperor had no patience, he called the people outside, "Send the empress back."

Seeing this, the queen shouted loudly: "The emperor just doesn't want to listen to his concubines, so don't you care if the daughter of a treasonous minister enters the palace?"

The emperor's heart instantly tugged.

He waved his hand to signal the people outside to go down first.

"What else do you want to say, go ahead."

The abolished queen wiped away her tears and explained the recent events to the emperor one by one.

After she finished speaking, the emperor also fell into deep thought. After a long time, he asked: "Are you really sure that the present Concubine Zhao is Xia Zeqian's daughter?"

"The concubine is sure that the bracelet in her hand belongs to Mrs. Xia Zeqian. It was originally a pair. At that time, only one was confiscated from the house, and it was on the side of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The other is what she is wearing now. And the concubine I have seen Xia Zeqian's wife, she is exactly the same as Zhao Concubine now."

No matter how much the emperor hates to bother him, when it comes to rebellion, he always has to be cautious.In the end he sighed, "I haven't seen her before, so I will hold a family banquet in the palace in three days, and let all the concubines in the harem come over, and I will do things cheaply."

The news of the palace banquet quickly spread to all the palaces. Xia Qing was still in Jiang Huimin's palace at this time, and Jiang Huimin also received the news from Feng Xian.

The woman really went to see the emperor.

Jiang Huimin took off the bracelet from her hand and put it in the drawer. It was exactly what she asked for from Xia Qing a few days ago.

"The emperor still has the strength to hold a family banquet, it seems that he is in a hurry." Xia Qing was playing with a parrot in his hand.

Jiang Huimin had his own thoughts in his heart at this time, who knew if this was a grand banquet.She looked at Xia Qing, "The family banquet in the palace three days later, you go with me and sit next to me."

"However, seats in the palace are allocated according to rank."

"It's okay." Jiang Huimin straightened her hair, "Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhu are not allowed to go, you are of the same level as other concubines, you usually live in my palace, sitting next to me is fine."

Xia Qing then nodded in agreement. She naturally knew Jiang Huimin's intentions, and this palace banquet was likely to be very troublesome.

Chapter 20

It was very troublesome to hold a banquet in the palace. From the selection of materials to the arrangement, the House of Internal Affairs finally arranged everything in three days. On that day, Jiang Huimin and Xia Qing came to Liu'an Pavilion in a small sedan chair.

It is said to be a pavilion, but in fact it is not a small palace, and a stage is set up opposite. In the past, the palace often held annual banquets here, and listened to operas by the way.

When Jiang Huimin and Xia Qing passed by, the other concubines were almost seated, and they saw Feng Xian walking in with the emperor on his side.

His body didn't look optimistic, and the sickness on his face was very obvious. Xia Qing whispered to Jiang Huimin from the side: "The medicine has already worked."

Jiang Huimin looked around subconsciously, and asked softly, "How are you so sure?"

"That medicine will erode one's spirit and vitality a little bit. He has been lingering on the sick bed these days, and he hasn't gotten better for a long time. It's because of taking that medicine." Xia Qing whispered.

After the emperor sat down, Feng Xian announced the start of the banquet, and the two stopped talking.

The emperor looked at the concubine whom he hadn't seen for a long time, coughed twice, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have been feeling unwell since the new year, and the weather has turned warm recently, so I held a banquet in the palace, and it was lively and lively."

He said this sentence intermittently, Feng Xian kept patting him on the back, and the concubines immediately flattered him after hearing this: "The emperor must take care of the dragon body, otherwise we sisters and sisters will have nothing to rely on." ."

These words made the emperor feel very comfortable, and he waved his hand to signal the beginning of the banquet.

The banquets in the palace were all arranged according to the routine, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to overstep the rules. Xia Qing looked at the old three dishes, but couldn't eat any of them. In front of everyone, he couldn't let others see.

Jiang Huimin saw that she didn't like to eat. This little guy really likes picky eaters. She softened her heart and brought her a piece of snack from the side, "I saw you liked this jujube cake before." Help her quietly pour out the wine she doesn't like to drink in front of her.

Endless tenderness was written on her face, and Jiang Huimin didn't even notice it. The emperor sitting on top saw Jiang Huimin's expression, and suddenly wondered if she had been ill for so long that her eyes were dazzled.

In his memory, Jiang Huimin had never shown such a gentle expression.

Rubbing his eyes, the emperor called a little eunuch over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Due to the great disturbance of Xia Qing's poisoning incident last time, silver chopsticks were uniformly used for all large palace banquets in the palace.After drinking for three rounds, the little eunuch came in and gave a thousand calls, "Your Majesty, you ordered the House of Internal Affairs to tidy up all the jewelry, do you want to present it?"

"Well, bring it up." The emperor's old god was there, and the concubines in the palace didn't understand what the emperor meant for a moment, so they heard him add: "Originally, during the Chinese New Year, the harem should be rewarded, but I have been ill since the end of the year. I can't raise my spirits, and today I will use this banquet to distribute rewards to the harem."

When the concubines heard the news, they were all overjoyed, with smiles all over their faces.The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs presented all kinds of jewelry by category and placed them in the center of the hall.

"Why do these jewelry look so familiar to me?" Jiabi said suddenly.

Concubine Jia just gave birth to a pair of twins a few years ago, and she is very proud now. If the emperor is not suffering from illness, she should be in full bloom now.

Rui Concubine immediately echoed from the side: "Madam Jia Concubine has good eyesight, most of these jewels were copied by the emperor from the houses of rebellious officials and thieves."

After she finished speaking, she took a special look at Xia Qing, but it was a pity that Xia Qinghe didn't hear it, and her face was expressionless.

A concubine followed suit: "What are you talking about? All the things in this world belong to the emperor."

Jiang Huimin was already very upset, and Concubine Rui said triumphantly, "I said that Xia Zeqian's family were all rebels back then, and they deserved their crimes in the end. Don't you think so, sister Xia Qing?"

Hearing what she said, Xia Qing raised her head and smiled, "I don't know if the crime deserves what it deserves, but I know the truth that the harem should not discuss government affairs indiscriminately."

Upon hearing this, Rui Concubine panickedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, looked up, and found that the emperor looked at her with obvious displeasure, and was so frightened that Rui Concubine hurriedly fell to the ground, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty The concubine made a mistake for a while, and didn't intend to discuss the government."

She was biting the corner of her mouth, and the pear blossoms were raining. If it was normal, the emperor would be fine, but now, the emperor is already troubled by the matter of rebellion, and waved his hand, "Go back and sit first, and then talk nonsense, just follow me." Concubine Shu, let's reflect behind closed doors in our own palace."

Ruipin Nuonuo, don't dare to say another word.

Jiang Huimin witnessed all this, she knew that the emperor had been looking at Xia Qing's side, so she was very vigilant in her heart.

Sure enough, the emperor called Feng Xian, "The jewelry below has been divided according to the rules and made into a list. You go and reward everyone present according to the list."

Feng Xian responded, took a few young eunuchs, and distributed rewards to everyone.

Xia Qing was assigned a bracelet, not a pair.

Xia Qing was very familiar with that bracelet, it was what she wiped every day.
