35. The evil concubine of the country (09)
When Jiang Mo and others came to the Cining Palace, the rest of the concubines and concubines had almost all arrived. After seeing Jiang Mo, although they all saluted politely, their eyes were unceremoniously flying with knives.
If the eye knife can be turned into reality, Jiang Mo may have been tied into a hornet's nest at this time.
Shi Jieyu also came early. Originally, she had the highest rank and always stood in the forefront alone, but now Jiang Mo has also risen in rank, and will stand side by side with her in the forefront. Seeing Jiang Mo When Mo stepped forward, her face suddenly turned ugly.
Jiang Mo could only pretend that he couldn't see, and stood up with his eyes and nose and heart.
When it was almost time, a female official came out to welcome them into the hall.
The queen mother was still sitting and gossiping with the concubines and concubines. Although she didn't talk to Jiang Mo more, she looked at Jiang Mo a few more times, obviously she was very fond of him, who was treated differently by the emperor. curious. Looking at him at this time, he looks handsome, and his words and deeds are all generous, not as flattering as ordinary people, and it seems that there is something special about him.
But it's still the old saying, don't suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness. The emperor can have people he likes and preferences, but there are so many concubines and concubines in the harem who can't just leave it alone. It's better to let the emperor rain and dew.

Therefore, after the chat was almost over, the queen mother said: "It will be the emperor's birthday in a few days. The emperor means that there is no need to make a big deal, so he will only hold a family banquet in the palace, and everyone will be lively and lively."
When the concubines and concubines heard the words, their eyes suddenly glowed. Since it is the emperor's birthday, the emperor must be present as the protagonist of this family banquet. This is a good opportunity to get close contact with the emperor!
They walked around the imperial garden every day, and their legs were about to break, and they could not meet the emperor once. He would never be absent from this banquet again, would he?
"If you have any skills you are good at, don't hide it, and show it well at that time, it can be regarded as your heart for the emperor." The empress dowager said something.
The concubines and concubines present were not fools. The empress dowager's intention to let them show their faces in front of the emperor was already obvious, and they all responded positively immediately. Those who could write poetry, play the piano, paint, dance... Anything a little bit. Talented people all stood up one after another, and the scene suddenly became lively.
The queen mother asked the female officials around her to record the projects they were good at so that they could be arranged to perform at the family banquet. Zhang Qian naturally would not miss this good opportunity, saying that she was good at singing and dancing, and was later recorded by the female official.
Jiang Mo sat quietly beside him all the time, without any intention of participating, Liang Yi also seemed to be in a daze all the time, but Li Gongzi was the only one of the three who reported the poem.
"Isn't Du Qingjun quite talented? This time celebrating the emperor's birthday, don't you plan to show off?" Shi Jieyu suddenly looked at Jiang Mo.
No one expected that Shi Jieyu would suddenly attack Du Yunyi, and all eyes in the hall were focused on Jiang Mo, making him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. Jiang Mo thought to himself, sure enough, three women were in a show, and then he took a deep breath and said, "How can this gentleman's talent name be compared with Jieyu, please Jieyu not to joke."
To say that when he was a child, the original owner really had the reputation of a so-called child prodigy for a while, but since he gained weight inexplicably, he has been locked out of the house, and his studies have long been abandoned. Where else is there such a so-called talent name?
It's impossible for Shi Jieyu not to know this, she said this just to embarrass him.
Shi Jieyu didn't intend to miss such a good opportunity to give him eye drops in front of the Queen Mother, and was about to say it again, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother.
"Okay, Ai's family is a little tired, so you should go back earlier." The queen mother said lightly, interrupting her words, looking at Shi Jieyu unintentionally, this look really made Shi Jieyu The cold sweat is about to fall.
The Queen Mother has been in the harem for decades, and she has seen a lot of various methods. How can Shi Jieyu's inferior methods hide from her?
Although she intends to let the emperor enjoy the rain and dew, if the emperor really has one or two people he likes, she will not stop her, and her impression of Du Yunyi is still very good, so Shi Jieyu will not be bullied. He heads up.
Jiang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and left the Cining Palace with everyone to salute the Queen Mother.
After Jiang Mo, Liang Yi, and Young Master Li returned to the Yonghe Palace, when the three of them were about to go back to their own halls to rest, Jiang Mo called out to Liang Yi, "Brother Liang, can you take a step to speak?"
Li Gongzi is a very knowledgeable and interesting person. Knowing that they have something to say, he left first. Liang Yi paused, hesitated for a moment, and followed Jiang Mo into his main hall.
"Brother Liang, please sit down." Jiang Mo beckoned him to sit down, and asked Meng Jiao to bring some refreshments.
Liang Yi sat down cautiously, not knowing what Jiang Mo wanted to say to him when he called him over.
"Brother Liang, the days you and I have known each other are not too short, and I won't go around in circles. Do you have any concerns?" Jiang Mo turned on the mode of a close brother and said in a persuasive manner.
"I..." Liang Yi opened his mouth and really didn't know how to answer.
"Your health is not good at all. If you are depressed, I'm afraid it will get worse." Jiang Mo slowly persuaded, "I remember that Brother Liang is quite open-minded, and he didn't want to be here. No one cares about it."
Of course, Jiang Mo will not be stupid and say it directly. I already know from the emperor that you have no favors. After all, it is a private room in the bed, and it is inconvenient to talk to others, so I can only lead the topic to the issue of favor. superior.
Sure enough, Liang Yi immediately said, "That's not the case..."
Jiang Mo said: "What the hell is going on? Maybe I can help?"
Liang Yi stared at Jiang Mo for a long while, and met his sincere eyes, but in the end he still expressed the hidden worries in his heart, "The last time I served the bed, I was afraid that I did not serve well, and I was worried. Anything that angers the emperor will implicate the family."
As soon as he said this, Jiang Mo almost understood that he was worried that he was not favored because he was disgusted by the emperor and would bring harm to his family, so he was depressed.
"Relax, the emperor is not such a careful person." Jiang Mo said with certainty that although he did not have much contact with the emperor, he also knew that he was a good and diligent emperor, and he also acted carefully and thoughtfully. "The emperor If you really plan to do it, you won't be allowed to stay in the palace for one night, just let someone carry you back on the spot, right?"
The emperor was lucky twice. Although he did not favor them, he also let them stay in the palace all night, and sent them back with a chariot the next day. On the one hand, it is to reassure the queen mother, but on the other hand, they do not want the two of them to lose face, so no one in the palace knows the fact that they have not been favored.
When Liang Yi heard the words, he was suddenly enlightened as if he had been enlightened, "Thank you Brother Du for your suggestion!"
He was in the game before, and he was only worried that his performance would make the emperor disgusted and unhappy, but he never thought that the emperor's actions were helping him cover up...
Jiang Mo was relieved when he saw that he had figured it out. The two chatted for a while, and the relationship became much closer.
The day of the family banquet is coming soon, and it will be held in Yiyuan Garden. It is the season when spring flowers are blooming, and the flowers in Yiyuan Garden are very beautiful. While enjoying the feast, everyone can also look at the surrounding scenery, which is really unique.
The top position was naturally the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Jiang Mo and Shi Jieyu sat on the left and right sides of the head, and the rest of the concubines took their seats in order. Coincidentally, Jiang Mo was sitting next to the emperor, only two or three steps away, and the emperor could see him as long as he lowered his head.
This arrangement was naturally arranged by everyone observing the holy will, so Shi Jieyu, who was sitting at the head of the queen mother and separated from the emperor five or six meters away, was very annoyed, but she did not dare to show it on the face, so as not to break it. The interest of the emperor and the queen mother.
Everyone who attended the family banquet today was dressed up, especially Shi Jieyu, who was already good-looking. Today, she deliberately dressed up, wearing a pomegranate red pleated skirt, as glamorous as a fairy in flowers. Jiang Mo is a man, and it is impossible to wear too bright colors like a woman. Today, he only wears a brocade robe with azure silver piping, which looks quite tolerant. Liang Yi is no longer in the spirit of the past few days, and his spirit is much better today. He wears a moon-white thin shirt with a sky blue inner shirt inside. The fresh and elegant colors also complement his temperament.
Zhang Qian was sitting at the back of the table, wearing a lavender skirt, a bun with a cloud, and a peacock with golden threads on her head. She looked very fresh among the concubines and concubines with bright makeup. Elegance, but also a bit of scheming.
"Okay, let's have a seat."
Following the Queen Mother's order, the palace people filed in with all kinds of dishes and placed them in front of everyone. The emperor didn't like to talk too much, and he didn't mean to greet them. While the dishes were still hot, everyone started to eat. It looked like they were coming over for a banquet.
Today's braised fish belly was especially tender. Jiang Mo couldn't help but devoured the whole plate, and asked Meng Jiao if he still had it, which made Meng Jiao very embarrassed.
Zhao Hong was not far away, and when he heard the words, he asked Fang Cheng to send the plate of fish belly in front of him to Jiang Mo. Jiang Mo glanced at Zhao Hong with complicated eyes. Naturally, the dishes given by the emperor could not be rejected, so he had to take them.
Not many people noticed the small interaction between the two except the Queen Mother and Shi Jieyu. The Queen Mother shook her head amusingly, but Shi Jieyu's eyes flashed.
After everyone ate for a while, the queen mother motioned for the concubines to start performing. A large space was deliberately vacated in the middle of the table, so that they could have room to display.
"My concubine, Shi Ru, dedicate a song to the emperor." Shi Jieyu was the first to perform. Her talent in Beijing is not in vain. People with different temperaments like Mo also find it quite interesting.
After playing the song, Shi Jieyu looked in the direction of the emperor with joy, but saw that there was no expression on his face at all, and she couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"Okay! I've always heard that Shi Shangshu's daughter has excellent piano skills. When I saw it today, it really lived up to the reputation. I will reward a pair of jade Ruyi!" Compared with the emperor's indifferent face, the queen mother is more devoted, perhaps because the palace has been in the palace for a long time. Not so lively.
"Chen and concubine Ji Fangfei, sing a song for the emperor."
One by one beauties stepped forward to perform, and finally it was Zhang Qian's turn.
Jiang Mo is also refreshed. Today is a golden opportunity. If Zhang Qian wants to get close to the emperor, she must leave a deep impression on the emperor today, but she doesn't know what kind of means she will use.
It's really a little hopeful.
