For several days in a row, Xie Jie's rewards were carried into the Jinde Palace like a stream of water. No one could surpass him in the splendor of honor and favor.
For a moment, everyone was so happy when they entered the De Palace that even the palace attendants straightened their backs and spoke with a certain amount of arrogance.
It was at this time that Ahaya received the invitation from Concubine De.
"Our queen was thinking too much during her pregnancy and felt quite lonely. No, His Majesty quickly gave us a favor and held a small banquet in the imperial garden, so that the concubines in the palace could chat and have fun with her."
Jin Zhupi smiled but looked at her sideways, squinting his eyes and wanting to raise his chin to the sky.
"You are not qualified in the first place, but this is an extra grace given by our queen. You must remember it!"
What a grace.
Ahaya lowered her eyes and made an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
He just wanted to use this so-called small banquet to humiliate her, and even Xie Jie's name was mentioned.
"It's rare that Concubine De is thinking about you." She sighed, leaned on the couch, and lazily said, "It's freezing outside, and I didn't want to. Since I'm not included in His Majesty's decree, I might as well forget it.
."
"I'm afraid that Concubine De will feel unhappy if she can't see you, and no one will be happy."
Jin Zhu snorted, suddenly looked around, and asked, "Why don't you see that slave next to you today?"
"The road in the deep palace is complicated. Don't go astray. You don't know which well you will fall into."
Ahya suddenly raised her eyes, her eyes changed, and finally settled into a state of ice-coldness.
In her previous life, she was alone and timid, so she was given a top hat and was sent up obediently.
In this life, she has changed her temperament, and Concubine De has also changed her methods - how dare they attack Liu Nu?
She was shocked and angry.
The only thing that Concubine De can do is to deal with the rough nuns around her. With Liu Nu's skills, she is naturally not afraid of them.
But what if Liu Nu is worried about hurting her and refuses to take the lead? What if they are pulling the strings behind her back?
She really couldn't afford to gamble.
"Since Concubine De sincerely invites you, I would rather obey her respectfully." She took a deep breath, her eyes were as cold as ice, and she stared straight at Jinzhu.
"It's just that I've been spoiled by Liu Nu and I can't live without her." There was a hint of coldness in her voice, "This girl has gone to the dining room. When she comes back..."
"dining room?"
Before she could finish speaking, Jin Zhu covered her mouth and laughed, "Everyone in the dining room has been taken away to prepare the banquet today. I am afraid that there will be insufficient manpower, so I will take her away too."
"Don't be too busy. Maybe we'll see you when we get to the banquet?"
That means he refuses to let him go.
Ahaya clenched her fingertips and sneered.
"good."
She stood up and looked down at the person in front of her, her eyes as sharp as a blade.
Concubine De was at her peak, and she had intended to give in.
But since someone is looking for embarrassment...what does she have to fear?
In the imperial garden, the charcoal fire drove away the chill, and newly imported brocade was hung around the pavilion to act as a curtain to protect from the wind.
Ahaya slowly walked into the pavilion and saw that the original simple and elegant furnishings had completely changed. It was filled with gold and silver treasures, and was so luxurious and luxurious that even the plate holding pastries was made of the finest Ru kiln porcelain.
Concubine De specially asked for this banquet to show off her great favor to the palace and to demonstrate to her and Concubine Shu. Naturally, she wanted to display all the things that Xie Jie had rewarded so that everyone could see them.
Look how noble the non-existent child in her belly is.
Didn’t you see that the seating arrangement was so blatant that Concubine Shu was directly shorter than Concubine De?
She twitched the corners of her lips coldly and swept her eyes across the pavilion. She found no trace of Liu Nu, so she frowned slowly and stood there without moving rashly.
At this time, the initiative is not in her hands, she can only adapt to changes.
Concubine De allowed her to stand for a while, then slowly said: "Hey, here we come."
"Alas, the servants who arranged the arrangements were ignorant. They saw that you were not included in the decree, and they did not leave a place for you. I am really sorry, so I have to make it difficult for you to stand for a while."
She fiddled with her nails and spoke in a condescending tone. Although she was apologizing, there was no hint of guilt at all, but instead, she was full of ridicule.
"It's okay." Aheya narrowed her eyes, her eyes were calm, she nodded slightly towards Concubine De who was standing above her, and got straight to the point: "I just came to see my ignorant palace servant. I wonder if Concubine De has seen her before?"
"A person from my own palace came to ask me after being lost?"
Concubine De sneered and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, chat with me. Maybe you are just having fun and will come out soon?"
Her tone was incomprehensible, and her voice was a bit long, with profound meaning.
Since we can still get people back, it's no big deal.
It seems that Concubine De is still a little cautious and doesn't really want to take action against Liu Nu.
A bit of darkness flashed in Ahaya's eyes, she covered her mouth and coughed, noncommittal.
It was then that Concubine Shu spoke: "Since Sister De Concubine wants someone to chat and laugh with her, she should have someone sit down."
She sighed, fixed her eyes on Ahaya with pity, and sighed: "It's so pitiful that she is not completely cured yet."
"Speaking of which, although her illness cannot be blamed on Sister De Fei, it is still related to her."
With just a few words, the atmosphere was frozen for a moment.
Ahaya was poisoned and almost died, how could she not hate her? As a result, the imperial concubine fell down, lost her generals, and was grounded. She had no choice but to go out of danger and gain honor and favor, so how could she not hate her?
Ahaya's eyes were slightly cold, and as she watched the smile on Concubine De's face gradually fade away, turning into coldness and anger, she couldn't help but praise Concubine Shu's methods from the bottom of her heart.
This short sentence seemed to speak for her, sell her out, and incite Concubine De's anger, causing the two of them to confront each other so that he could reap the benefits.
She is indeed a concubine.
After a while, He Jieyu came out and broke the silence with a smile on her face.
"Since I don't have a serious position, I have no choice but to wrong you and set up a small case nearby."
She winked at the people around her, and immediately two eunuchs came forward with a small case and placed it in the corner.
"Whatever the case is, just ask her to sit cross-legged."
Concubine De was coaxed to heaven in the past few days. When she had eaten Guoluo, she was upset by Concubine Shu's words and wanted to get back to her place immediately.
There was a smile on her face, but it was full of disdain. She looked at Ahaya with a sharp tone.
"I heard that you are from Beirong."
"I guess you Beirong barbarians have never had any respect for etiquette. You are just eating meat and drinking blood. I don't know that you have arrived in Daxu..."
"Do you adapt to it?"
Ahaya raised her eyes suddenly and dug her fingertips into her flesh.
How dare she talk about her country?
Her face gradually turned cold, and she took a deep breath to force herself to calm down.
"Even in the northernmost part of Beirong, there is no way of hospitality that requires guests to stand."
She lowered her eyes slightly, her tone was soft, but her words were thorny.
"If Empress Dowager De is interested in Beirong, she might as well read more travel notes, otherwise it will be like Daxu's old saying..."
