Chapter 101: The Emperor and Empress Are on the Same Stage
Zhao Yurou didn't say much, just nodded lightly, and then washed clothes among the guests. She was very happy to see her brother, and couldn't restrain her joy and waved to Zhao Nancheng.
"I will meet you, the Queen!"
The officials kowtowed, Feng Lingyu breathed out secretly, and then slowly walked towards the main hall. Baili Qingchen stepped down from the dragon chair and personally helped her to her seat.
"Everyone loves you!"
Seeing that the girl was nervous, Baili Qingchen said this for him. Then, the ministers returned to their seats one after another. The banquet began, and some dancers in the palace began to perform their talents.
In the past few years, there have been continuous wars, and there are rarely such lively times. Everyone is looking at it very fascinated, but someone's eyes have been locked on the woman since she came in.
"Don't look any further. You are already the Empress. And I heard from my sister that after the Empress was severely injured, she lost part of her memory and doesn't even remember who you are!"
Zhao Nancheng pushed the person next to him, helped him fill the wine glass, and whispered in his ear, "It is important that the emperor and the queen have no feelings. The queen who has entered the palace will not be able to come out, let alone
Not to mention the queen!"
Li Baihan naturally knew this truth and did not dare to have any illusions about that woman. He just wanted to see her one more time.
"In previous occasions like this, the emperor basically wouldn't let the empress come forward. Today he actually brought the empress out. It seems that the relationship between the two emperors and the empress has changed!"
Zhao Nancheng pretended to be careless and secretly glanced at the main hall. He saw the girl sitting upright, watching the performance of the people below with an expressionless face, without even looking at them.
"Do you think the Queen has really lost her memory, or is she just pretending? I feel like there's something wrong with the Queen's eyes. Is she being bullied in the palace?"
Li Baihan also noticed something was wrong with the girl. Her eyes were dull and she was sitting there motionless, as if her soul was not there.
"No one should bully her. The Emperor promised General Feng before that he would protect the Queen.
Sending people to the cold palace before was just a temporary solution, but it is true that she is unhappy!"
Li Baihan was extremely depressed and drank one glass after another.
Baili Qingchen had long noticed that someone had been secretly looking in the direction of the two of them. Then he turned his head and looked at the girl next to him, and said softly, "How was the performance of this show?"
"It's good. The girl leading the dance in front is pretty good-looking. She's prettier than any of the concubines in the harem. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Feng Lingyu was watching the song and dance performance very seriously. She had been here for so long and had been shutting herself in the room while doing research. She had no time to go out to have fun, let alone watch this kind of performance.
Today's trip was not for nothing, so others looked at him with a dull expression, like a puppet on strings, but Feng Lingyu was really watching the performance seriously.
"It's not bad! She is indeed more beautiful than the concubines in the harem!"
Baili Qingchen then glanced at the woman leading the dance and nodded in agreement.
"The emperor likes ugly people?"
"Of course not!"
"Then why are there so many concubines in the palace who are not as good-looking as the maids?"
"They were all chosen by Concubine Lian and the Queen Mother to enter the palace. I have never been involved in this matter, so naturally I don't know what they look like!
And why should I go see other people when you are here!"
Baili Qingchen was very serious about what he said, but the girl next to him didn't believe it. She turned her head slightly, looked at the man's face and said, "When did the emperor speak so greasyly?"
“What does greasy mean?”
"It's just that the words don't convey the meaning and the words don't mean it. There are so many concubines in the harem. Without the emperor's consent, no matter how picky the Queen Mother and Concubine Lian are, they would not dare to let them in!"
Baili Qingchen looked at her little face full of disbelief and said calmly, "The choice of concubine is originally decided by the Queen Mother. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask the Queen Mother!"
Feng Lingyu glanced at the Queen Mother who was sitting not far away, and then gently shook her head, "I don't dare to ask. If I provoke her, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"
"It's good to know that you have been appreciated by the Queen Mother today. You will definitely be manipulated by her in the future, but you must not be betrayed by her!"
Baili Qingchen looked at the people next to him with a doting look on his face. He couldn't hide his eyes when he liked someone. Of course, Li Baihan also saw this scene. Then his heart trembled and he continued to lower his head and drink.
"If I was sold by her, it would have been done by you yourself. Whoever among the three of them wants to take charge of the rights of the harem, let them control it. Why should you include me in it!"
Although Feng Lingyu could understand its general intention, she still didn't want to get involved. It seemed more meaningful to stay quietly in her dormitory and conduct research than to go out and fight with them.
"Otherwise, if you stay alone for a long time, wouldn't you be lonely?
The Queen Mother is a very capable woman, you should learn from her and don't shut yourself up in Fengqi Palace all day long, sooner or later the affairs of the harem will have to be left to you!"
Baili Qingchen didn't dare to look at him for too long, for fear of being discovered by others, so she turned her gaze to the dancing girl in front of her. If her lips weren't moving, she wouldn't have been able to tell that he was communicating with the queen.
"Aren't they tired of the fact that there are still people vying to do this kind of thing? As a person like me, I am more Buddhist, so I can definitely give up my position to others!"
Feng Lingyu's fluttering words made the man very unhappy, and his face changed instantly. He clenched his big hands into fists, his knuckles turned white, and tried his best to endure it.
"You don't want this expression, I mean, I'm not suitable to compete with them!"
Feng Lingyu saw that he was unhappy, reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and explained very seriously.
Some of the ministers under the Highness had a keen eye and noticed that the Queen was trying to please the Emperor, and they were thinking that the harem might be in trouble if Concubine Lian and Concubine Shu were not favored.
The Wang family and the Zhao family can no longer control the sky with one hand in the court. This is really a very happy thing.
"General, I offer you a drink!"
Li Baihan sat there without moving. After a while, several people came over to propose a toast. Maybe this was because they saw the interaction between the emperor and the empress.
Everyone has been driven by the Wang family and the Zhao family for so long. If the Queen is really favored again, there will be a chance to turn around.
Li Baihan is a retainer of the Queen's mother's family, so everyone is trying to please the Queen by pleasing him.
The man didn't refuse, and whenever anyone came to see him for a drink, he would drink with them, and he would drink too much every time they came.
"My lords, General Li has drunk too much. If you want to drink, let's drink another day!"
