"This horse will stumble, and people will stumble. It is inevitable to make mistakes. There is no exception. Concubine Qi is the most important person to be able to admit her mistakes and correct them." Someone in the next seat happened to be watching at this time. The excitement is not too big, but it seems that he is trying to smooth things over for Concubine Qi.
If these words had come from the mouth of a concubine who was close to her, Concubine Qi might have given up. However, this concubine had recently gained the favor of the emperor and was very arrogant and domineering. In the past, she did not take her seriously. When she said this, Concubine Qi couldn't help but think about it carefully.
Everyone has a rebellious mentality, not to mention this is something they have never done.
How could Concubine Qi be willing to take the blame? She just said immediately, "What Lady Li said makes sense, but I still know whether I wrote an invitation to the princess."
After saying this, Concubine Qi immediately shouted to the palace attendants beside her, "Go and invite the messenger to come over. I asked you to hand over the letter to him. Did he deliver it to Prince Jin's Mansion honestly?"
After hearing what Concubine Qi said, the palace man immediately went to find the messenger.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the palace asking, "Why is it so noisy in the palace?"
Hearing this question, the sharp-eyed Lady Li immediately threw herself into Emperor Yong's arms. She looked like I felt pity for Pingting.
"Your Highness, is Concubine Qi's sister preparing to try the case?" She joked with a sweet smile, but this sentence pushed Concubine Qi into an embarrassing situation.
Emperor Yong just glared at Concubine Qi displeasedly. Concubine Qi seemed to be a smart person at first. He thought that this woman was related to Concubine Yuxian and was the oldest in the palace, so he thought of letting her She holds the phoenix seal.
However, it now seems that although Concubine Qi is close to Concubine Yuxian, she has not learned half of Concubine Yuxian's Huizhilanxin.
Even Empress Min, who is now dismissed as a commoner by him, although they have never dealt with her in her life, she did handle the harem affairs impeccably. At least everyone in the harem obeyed her at that time, and there was never any trouble in the harem. Come before yourself.
But now this Concubine Qi obviously cannot convince the public. Even when he favors beauties, beauties often complain to him from time to time about the unfair things done by Concubine Qi.
Now it seems that she is indeed too dishonest in her actions. Although he has many plans against Zhao Yanzhen, no matter how he plots, he still has to do enough to save face. She is a concubine who is trying the case at the celebration banquet. Who is she trying to beat? Where's his face?
Thinking of this, Emperor Yong's face turned even darker.
After being glared at by Emperor Yong, Concubine Qi naturally acted like a quail and did not dare to say anything more.
Emperor Yong then looked around and said, "Trial case? What case is she trying?"
Naturally, others did not dare to answer this question, but Zhao Yanzhen smiled and said, "Father, it was just a misunderstanding."
It could be heard that Zhao Yanzhen was trying to smooth things over for Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi only glanced at Zhao Yanzhen gratefully after hearing this.
I didn't expect that this young man could still maintain his character after experiencing such a huge change.
When Emperor Yong heard that Zhao Yanzhen stood up to smooth things over, he naturally didn't want to pursue the matter anymore. After all, it was a celebration banquet, so other matters should not be mentioned at the celebration banquet.
However, when Li Guiren heard this, she said reluctantly, "What misunderstanding? Concubine Qi forgot to send an invitation to Princess Jin, and she actually wanted to say it was the emperor's fault."
After hearing this, Emperor Yong couldn't look calm anymore.
Concubine Qi was even more frightened and said, "Your Majesty, I did send the invitation. I asked Dongrui to send this invitation. If you don't believe me, ask Dongrui!"
"Besides, I have no intention of blaming His Majesty."
"Okay, let's talk about these things later. It's Zhen'er's celebration banquet now. Why are you making a fuss? Do you think this is still your Dongzang Palace?" Emperor Yong scolded.
After being reprimanded by Emperor Yong, Concubine Qi did not dare to say any more. She immediately knelt down and said, trembling, "What your Majesty said is that I am confused."
However, seeing Concubine Qi kneeling down in front of everyone, Emperor Yong didn't even look at Concubine Qi, and went to the table with Lady Li.
Even after he sat down, he didn't let Concubine Qi, who was supposed to be accompanying her, get up.
As soon as Emperor Yong took his seat, the sound of singing and dancing began gradually.
Everything seems to be the same as before, but this seemingly inconspicuous move
It made everyone at the table excited.
Most of the people sitting there were favored concubines from various palaces, or some royal relatives.
Now that these people saw Concubine Qi kneeling in front of everyone, they couldn't help but laugh at Concubine Qi's jokes.
But Concubine Qi couldn't get up for a while without Emperor Yong's order. But continuing to kneel clearly made her feel very embarrassed.
Listening to the whispers in the field, Concubine Qi felt that she was a little exhausted mentally and physically.
In the past few months since she took charge of Feng Yin, she has been thinking very hard, not daring to make any mistakes.
However, maybe her talent is limited, no matter how hard she works, no matter how hard she works. But she never heard a word of praise from anyone. On the contrary, if she made any mistake, there would be tens of thousands of eyes staring at her, opening their mouths and waiting to complain to His Majesty.
She used to think that if she could hold the Phoenix Seal on her behalf, she would be considered a glorious person. She used to be particularly envious of Queen Min and Concubine Yuxian. One of them is noble and the other is decent.
Unlike himself, even though he is the oldest person in the harem, sometimes he still has to pay respects to his descendants who entered the harem late, and keep a low profile.
Now she thought that since she had obtained the Phoenix Seal, she would be noble and decent. However, although these concubines showed respect to her on the surface, they still looked down on her secretly.
Only now did she understand that the dignity and dignity of Queen Min and Concubine Yuxian were not given by this Fang Feng Yin.
Their dignity and dignity come from their families or from Emperor Yong himself.
It's a pity that she doesn't have a good family, and all she can think of is the favor given by Emperor Yong himself.
However, due to her old age and declining appearance, and her not-so-pleasant personality, she really had no dignity at all in front of Emperor Yong.
On the contrary, now that she is in charge of Feng Yin, Emperor Yong seems to have turned from ignoring her to hating her. For this reason, she received many private reprimands from Emperor Yong.
However, this was the first time she had been reprimanded and punished in front of everyone. Concubine Qi felt very embarrassed for a moment.
However, this was Zhao Yanzhen's celebration banquet, so who would care about what this little concubine was thinking. ..
After Emperor Yong sat down, everyone else also took their seats under the guidance of the eunuch.
During this period, Zhao Yanzhen and a few honored officials took the initiative to kneel down in the middle to pay their respects to Emperor Yong.
"My son, Yan Zhen, comes to see my father. I wish my father a long life."
Emperor Yong's emotions towards his son who had come back from the dead were somewhat complicated.
It's ridiculous to say that he obviously wanted him to die on that battlefield rationally, but when he was given a memorial tomb, he still couldn't help but feel sad.
This is also the son of their Zhao family.
Although he and Empress Min had been feuding for their whole lives, when he saw this child, he would always realize that this child actually had half of his blood flowing through him.
Now perhaps the Chen family has fallen and Queen Min has been demoted to a commoner, so he feels even more guilty for his son who has come back from the dead.
"Zhen'er, please get up and come to your father so that he can take a good look at you." Emperor Yong murmured.
Hearing Emperor Yong's words, Zhao Yanzhen only responded with a "yes". Then he just got up and knelt down beside Emperor Yong.
When Emperor Yong looked at his beautiful son, he was really happy to have found his lost son. He looked at Zhao Yanzhen carefully, and then just said: "Zhen'er has lost weight. I think he must have suffered a lot over there. But it would be nice to come back.”
Hearing Emperor Yong say this, Zhao Yanzhen would have been very moved in the past. After all, he was always in his father's eyes.
However, after experiencing so many things in his past life and this life, his admiring heart has gradually become cold.
He didn't even care whether Emperor Yong was acting to him at the moment or showing his true feelings.
He only knew that in his father's world he would always be the one to be sacrificed.
Not loving absolutely is absolute betrayal.
So now he doesn't care about this kind of love at all.
However, in front of this man who still has the highest power, he can't help but pretend to be obedient and say, "Father, Zhen'er is not suffering! If you can save the people from danger, how can you protect Guanyuan Town from being invaded by the Qiangmo people?"
Come on, this is your wish. "
When he said this, there was clearly starlight and sincerity in his eyes. Looking at the eyes of the young man in front of him, Emperor Yong seemed to be a little infected by the light in the young man's eyes.
At the moment, he doesn't want to think too much about those dirty plots.
After that, Emperor Yong only awarded official titles to Zhao Yanzhen and other meritorious ministers.
After the rewards are over, it’s time to have fun.
As the main recipient of the banquet, Zhao Yanzhen was naturally the one forced to entertain the most at the moment.
Jiang Nianjiao, who was sitting at the same table with him, wanted to take the opportunity to sneak out, but couldn't find the right time.
Under such commotion, Concubine Qi, who was alone, seemed particularly lonely.
Although Jiang Nianjiao didn't want to have anything to do with Concubine Qi, she thought that Concubine Qi had some friendship with her aunt.
She was still determined to get rid of the embarrassment in front of her, so she only asked Zhao Yanzhen to go to Emperor Yong to intercede for Concubine Qi.
During this period, his intercession inevitably attracted cynicism from Li Guiren. But the son who had just returned was still a treasure to Emperor Yong.
Therefore, after listening to Zhao Yanzhen's plea, Emperor Yong just waved his hand to tell Concubine Qi that she could leave on her own after King Jin interceded for her.
Concubine Qi knelt for a long time, and her knees were sore at the moment, but after being pardoned, she still tried to stand up.
It's a pity that she knelt for too long, and her legs and feet were feeling a little weak.
Seeing that she was about to fall, a pair of hands suddenly held her up.
When Concubine Qi stood firm, she couldn't help but look towards the person who had just helped her up.
And when her eyes fell, her expression was just slightly surprised, "Princess Jin?"
