Ji Wanrong suddenly asked such a question, which made Concubine Li think silently for a moment.
She thought seriously for a while and then said: "Hua Guifei did not have it before, only I have it, so I am very proud and want to give you this ointment to remove scars."
Ji Wanrong was stunned: "There used to be, what does this mean? You mean, except for you, everyone in the harem didn't exist at the beginning?"
Concubine Li nodded affirmatively, with a mixture of pride and contempt for Concubine Hua in her tone.
"She was jealous of me. She saw me deliberately showing off the ointment in front of her. She didn't care on the surface and said that I was a petty person. But behind the scenes, she went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs angrily and insulted many people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs made everyone upset, and finally she got it."
Ji Wanrong was secretly surprised.
Only Concubine Li had the ointment from the beginning, and the person behind this was targeting Concubine Li at the beginning.
Concubine Hua didn't have any ointment at first. After Concubine Li deliberately showed off, she went to the House of Internal Affairs and made a big fuss before she got the ointment.
This also shows that Concubine Hua Guifei was unaware and was not the mastermind behind the scenes.
Regardless of whether what happened in the past had anything to do with Prince Duan, Concubine Hua was as dull as she appeared to be.
Just as Ji Wanrong was thinking, an idea suddenly came to him, and he felt as if something was flying quickly in his mind.
Unfortunately, the thing disappeared before she could catch it.
After the two of them chatted for a while, it was time for the banquet to begin.
No matter how reluctant Concubine Li was, she still had to leave the position next to Ji Wanrong and return to her own position.
Princess Duan, on the other hand, gritted her teeth and stared at Concubine Li's back and her own chair under her butt.
Her legs were weak when she stood.
When Concubine Li got up from the chair, she saw Princess Duan's face full of bitterness. Concubine Li pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth, apologizing to her.
Princess Duan gritted her teeth and said it didn't matter.
After Concubine Li returned, the emperor, empress, and queen mother appeared together.
Everyone stood up to salute and say hello, and the banquet officially began.
The sound of silk and bamboo orchestra sounded at this moment, and rows of dancers filed in and danced in the hall.
As the dancer's water sleeves fluttered, petals all over the sky spilled out from the water sleeves and fell one after another, attracting everyone's attention.
The Queen Mother looked at the singing and dancing in front of her with a smile. Her cheeks were much plumper and her face was not as sallow as before.
In the past, the Queen Mother was busy with palace battles and had no leisure time to watch such things. But after going to the Hell Gate, she felt that there was nothing more important than happiness.
"My mother's health is much better than before, and she looks a bit younger."
The Queen looked at the Queen Mother and said with a smile.
The Queen Mother was in a good mood and nodded towards the Queen: "The Ai family themselves feel a lot better. It looks like they can live for more than ten years!"
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard the Queen Mother's words. Only Concubine Li answered with a smile.
"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old! How do you say that you have lived for more than ten years? But now that we have Wan Rong, I am afraid that my lifespan will be longer than that in the future!"
Concubine Li's words were wonderful, making the Queen Mother laugh and look at Ji Wanrong on the ladies' table.
"Thank you so much to Princess Han! Emperor, look at what a great granddaughter-in-law the Ai family has gotten!"
Ji Wanrong was still staring at the guards in the corner of the hall.
That was her brother, Ji Lingxiao.
After that day, she sent someone to Xie's house to tell her brother the eldest princess's plan and also gave him some advice.
Unexpectedly, the elder brother directly agreed to the matter without any hesitation.
As of today's Mid-Autumn Festival, my brother has been with the emperor for more than half a month.
She was thinking about it when she suddenly heard someone mention her, and she was a little confused for a moment.
Ji Wanrong hurriedly came to his senses and then raised a dignified smile: "It is Wanrong's blessing to be able to serve the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is so ridiculous, Wanrong also wants to be by the Queen Mother's side at all times."
As soon as Ji Wanrong finished speaking, a sneer came from the originally bustling hall.
"Boring...really boring!"
A male voice spoke Chinese, but with some strange accents.
The warm atmosphere in the hall disappeared, and the original music of silk and bamboo orchestra also stopped abruptly in an instant.
The prince of Mongolia sat at the bottom of Mojie City, tilted his head and looked at the singing and dancing in front of him, and said something strangely.
The sound of the silk and bamboo strings cut off and then sounded urgently again, making the emperor frown slightly.
He waved his hand, a little impatiently, and asked all the dancers in the hall to retreat.
"Prince, do you think my Beili is boring? Is it the people, the scenery, or something else that makes the prince dissatisfied?"
The emperor was still smiling, but his voice was majestic, and there was some depth in his dark eyes.
The Mongolian prince stood up and cupped his hands towards the emperor: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I just feel that the singing and dancing in front of me is very formal, and it seems a bit boring compared to other things in Beili."
The Mongol prince's words made the emperor's face look much better, and Concubine Hua also let out a breath of fear.
But the Mongolian prince smiled and then looked in the direction of Ji Wanrong.
"A long time ago, I heard that there was a miraculous medical concubine in the capital. Not only was she good at medicine, but her predictions were also very accurate. Only such a person can represent this great northern power."
"It's better to hear a hundred times than to see her once. The legendary Princess Han is indeed worthy of her reputation, and her country is beautiful and fragrant."
The Mongolian prince's eagle-like eyes stared intently at Ji Wanrong, who was sitting opposite him.
Although it was a compliment, Mo Jiecheng's face darkened for a moment, and Ji Wanrong was also a little unable to laugh.
"The prince and the princess have accepted the prince's praise, but they still can't bear it."
Mo Jiecheng raised his glass and toasted to the Mongolian prince, hoping to let him end this topic.
But after the Mongolian prince finished drinking the wine, he became more and more interested.
"I wonder if the princess who can represent Yangyang Beili can live up to her name and come on stage in person to add some interest to the boring singing and dancing of Beili."
"If the princess refuses, I will only feel that the princess, like Beili, is not worthy of her name!"
As soon as the Mongolian prince finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Wanrong.
Since Ji Wanrong represents Beili's face.
Then let Ji Wanrong perform singing and dancing?
How is this possible!
