In this way, until New Year's Eve, Xuan Ye stayed at Yikun Palace for three nights, which was much more frequent than usual. However, only Concubine Zhao knew what the concubine did between them during these three nights, whether it was good or bad.
New Year's Eve and New Year's Day passed by in a flash. Since the sealing of the seal on New Year's Day, the emperor has been as busy as before. He only went to the harem to pay greetings to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. He rarely stayed in the palace of concubines.
After waiting several times, there was almost no movement from Concubine Zhao's place.
On this day, the Lantern Festival was held, and the palace was even more lively than on New Year's Day. The princes, ministers, and princesses all came to the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager. The banquet was held in Cining Palace, and Bu Changzai was also invited to attend. Aunt Wang
She wanted to join in the fun, but she insisted on taking Lan Qi and Panxia out.
Because of her low status, Bu Changzai sat at the end of the banquet with a few noble people. She was weak and did not drink or eat meat. She only sat with him, talked and laughed, or watched the drama on the stage.
During the banquet, the people in the elder brother's place saw him off, and the princesses came to pay their respects. When he saw the wet nurse holding the little princess and kowtowing, Bu Changzai couldn't help but look towards the seat of honor. Huigui happened to be sitting next to her, and her eldest brother was also on top.
But Hui Guiren pulled her to his side: "Don't dare to do this, you have to endure it."
Bu Changzai could not help but feel sad in his heart. Seeing that his master was about to cry, Lan Qi excused himself to touch up his makeup, left the table and retreated to the side hall of Cining Palace. He took out the makeup powder he had brought with him and applied powder on his master again.
After a few words of advice and everything was settled, the master and servant were about to go back to the banquet. Before they passed the ceremony gate, they saw the elegant Concubine Zhao coming in angrily. Behind her was a man in his thirties, who only heard Concubine Zhao.
He said angrily: "Brother, you have also seen that the Empress Dowager praised me for my contribution to the Sixth Palace. The Emperor just smiled without even a word of praise. This is how I lived in the palace. You can see
Is it clear? It’s my fault outside, but it’s my fault. Why didn’t you come to see me when Ama was here? I asked you not to get involved with Obai, did you listen? Now it’s okay, and I am also being taken care of by the emperor.
Hate."
The man is Concubine Zhao's brother Aling'a. Today he was ordered to go to the palace to celebrate the festival. I don't know if something went wrong in the court, so he seemed to be looking for his sister to come up with ideas. However, Concubine Zhao was only superficially beautiful in the palace.
It is simply more difficult to go to the emperor and say something than to go to heaven.
Faintly listening to what Mr. Aling'a said about the prince and princess, Concubine Zhao, who had always been dignified and virtuous in front of others, actually became furious: "You don't believe it even if you tell me. The emperor doesn't touch me at all. Who do you want me to have a child with?"
"
Bu Changzai was the most cowardly person. Concubine Zhao's roar frightened her so much that she stepped back and knocked down the flower stand. The sound of breaking porcelain alarmed people outside the door. Concubine Zhao shouted: "Who is it?"
He told his brother, "Get back."
Then Concubine Zhao rushed in and saw Bu Changzai and Lan Qi behind her. She was immediately furious and yelled "Come here!" Bu Chang was so frightened that he knelt down as soon as his legs went weak.
Outside the side hall, Xuan Ye was drunk because he was troubled by his naughty elder brother. Eunuch Li led him and was about to go to the Queen Mother's bedroom to change clothes. On the way, he saw Aling'a hurriedly coming out of the side hall, sneaking up.
The appearance made people suspicious, Xuan Ye suddenly became curious, and followed him into the side hall.
When he came into view, he saw Dongyun in Zhao Fei's palace tearing apart a little palace maid on the ground. The little palace maid was protecting the person behind him, but Xuan Ye didn't really recognize the person behind him. Instead, it was the palace maid who was being beaten.
, he remembered.
Xuan Ye didn't like the fact that the Niu Hulu family was bossing around in the court because they were old nobles from Manchuria. When Ao Bai was eliminated, if he hadn't thought about Bi Long's outstanding achievements during the reign of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Shizu, their family would have ended up in the same fate.
, how could it happen now that Aling'a and the others were building momentum in the court to force themselves to make Concubine Zhao their queen.
"I heard that you recognized Obai as your adoptive father when you were young. I always thought it was just a rumor. Now look at your violent and vicious tactics. You really followed him."
Xuan Ye spoke coldly. Concubine Zhao over there heard the sound and looked back. When she saw the emperor here, she was immediately stunned.
