Zhou Xiangyun has long been accustomed to the arrogance of this queen's aunt.
My aunt never paid attention to them, concubines, and only loved Zhou Changle, who was also a legitimate daughter.
Seeing Concubine Zhou's lowered eyebrows, Empress Zhou stood up under her service and respectfully asked her to help her change her clothes.
These concubines do not have the character of their family of military commanders, they are so timid!
Empress Zhou patiently said coldly: "Although you, a concubine, will not be able to become a queen in the future, King Qin and the Zhou family are your backers. You have to help my son with your life so that you can have a place in the palace in the future. Do you understand?"
Zhou Xiangyun lowered her eyes, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said respectfully: "Yes."
Zhou Hou picked up her face and looked at it for a while, then said with a bit of disgust: "You don't have a stunning face like Changle, but Ming Lanruo has a good-looking face like that little bitch, so she is your mortal enemy. If she dies, you are here
My son will have a good life there, do you understand?"
That kid Hongye must have been confused by Ming Lanruo's face, and he actually married that bitch!
Zhou Xiangyun still nodded: "Yes, aunt."
Zhou Hou said coldly: "During the Double Ninth Festival banquet later, you will be the first to occupy the honorary seat on the left side of Hongye, do you understand?"
Zhou Xiangyun was stunned. This dynasty respects the left: "But I am just a concubine. Concubine Ming is an equal wife like Princess Qin..."
"I asked you to sit down, so you take your seat. How can there be so much nonsense? Changle will never question my arrangements." Zhou Hou said with disdain.
It's really not clever. Today, His Majesty the Emperor and Jiu Qiansui are going to inspect the camp on the outskirts of the city to reward representatives of the Zhou family army who have "repelled" the Northern Mongolians. This is a good opportunity to harvest Minglan Ruojian's life.
Zhou Xiangyun pursed his lower lip and squatted down to salute: "Xiangyun is stupid..."
"Okay, I didn't have much hope for you originally. But since your surname is Zhou, I will still support you. Today, if you take the seat on the left, Ming Lanruo will never be able to compete with you. Do you understand?"
Empress Zhou put on her phoenix crown while being served by the female officials, and looked at Zhou Xiangyun coldly.
Zhou Xiangyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded meekly: "Yes, empress."
...
During the Double Ninth Festival, enjoy chrysanthemums, drink wine, and eat crabs.
The autumn wind blows, and it is the time when the crabs are fat. In order to show that she is different from the splendid chrysanthemum feast of the noble concubine, the queen specially holds a fancy banquet with the theme of crabs and autumn chrysanthemum wine.
The chrysanthemums are just decorations, and the various ways of making crabs, reciting poems and painting are all elegant.
The banquet was filled with various dishes made of autumn chrysanthemums and crabs, as well as various delicacies from Suzhou and Hangzhou.
As soon as Ming Lanruo entered the Queen's Palace, she felt that it was decorated in the style of Suzhou and Hangzhou gardens. The courtyard was decorated with rockeries and rocks, and the banquet was spread out in the middle. It was indeed very elegant.
only......
The people inside are not so elegant.
"It's hard for the Duke's wife. She didn't raise such a wolf-hearted woman from her own belly." An old princess shook her fan and shook her head at the Duke of Ming's wife.
Mrs. Yangcheng Hou and a group of noble ladies who were attached to the Zhou family also talked a lot -
"Who would have thought that the Duke of Ming Dynasty was more caring than raising his own daughter, but she raised a white-eyed wolf who doesn't recognize her mother."
"That's right, an unchaste and unfilial person actually became the Queen's daughter-in-law. It's really..."
Mrs. Qin, the Duke of Ming Dynasty, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looked at the queen with tears in her eyes and said -
"The stepmother is embarrassed. I think it's because I didn't do a good job as a mother, so I asked my daughter to divorce me. It's a waste of time for you, my queen. How can she be qualified to be a prince's concubine with her status? She doesn't have a white silk ribbon.
Killing her is all a favor from the royal family."
Queen Zhou sat at the table and said gracefully and gently: "We are all mothers. I naturally understand Mrs. Qin. You will feel uncomfortable if you give birth to a rebellious girl."
Ming Lanruo turned around and wanted to leave in front of the palace. She was so busy that she came to see these women who were just waiting to die and complained about her behind her back!
What the hell is she?
But the female official on the side has already started singing - "Ming Fei has arrived."
Ming Lanruo looked at her expressionlessly, led Jinghe into the palace, and saluted Queen Zhou according to the rules.
Empress Zhou looked at her, with spiteful hatred flashing in her eyes, but with a gentle smile: "Come here quickly, let your mother take a look, and stand closer."
Ming Lanruo stood up and stepped forward. Zhou Hou held her hand intimately and looked her up and down: "Why, you didn't expect me to come out so soon, did you?"
Zhou Hou's voice was not loud, only the people around her and Ming Lanruo could hear her.
Ming Lanruo said calmly: "Yes, your Majesty is really good at it."
"You are so capable, you turned from a bastard who gave birth to a bastard and was imprisoned, to become the princess of my son, and even harmed my niece." Zhou Hou patted her hand gently,
