Chapter 257: A dog that can't bark bites the most painful!
He hadn't eaten for three days, and his sudden overeating was probably even worse. He had already drank a bowl of lotus seed soup and a bowl of soup, so he probably wouldn't starve to death for the time being, so I could cook him a bowl of porridge in the evening.
With this thought in mind, I started to have an appetite when I started eating.
Moreover, he agreed to hold a farewell banquet, so I had an explanation for Jiao Ziqiao.
He ate everything on the table, wiped his mouth, patted his butt, and left.
When I left, I glanced towards the Imperial Study Room, but when I saw a certain child concentrating on reading the memorial, I slipped away.
It’s not like I was polishing my ink like that day, so I sent myself to him to polish it.
That day, the palace was burned down, and both my "Xiaoyao Palace" and the palace where Jiao Ziqiao lived were damaged.
The palaces of Concubine Ping and others are relatively far away from my "Xiaoyao Palace", so they are all good.
This is considered self-inflicted. In order not to be "loved" by Yelu Zihan and die in bed, I still chose to squeeze in with Jiao Ziqiao when Yelu Zihan refused to give me a palace.
Who knew that on the way back, I would see Concubine Ping, Concubine Qiang and Concubine Yu, whom I had not seen for a long time.
A few people who were chatting and laughing stopped immediately when they saw me coming.
Concubine Yu smiled at me.
"Long time no see, Concubine Jia, how are you? I didn't thank you properly for what happened last time."
Concubine Qiang curled her lips in contempt.
"Who knows if she wants to drive us all away so that she can seize the emperor's love for herself?"
"Sister Qiang Fei, you are too worried. At that time, General Li was only interested in sister Jia Fei. If we were in the palace, it would be a dead end. How could you distort sister Jia Fei's good intentions in this way?"
Concubine Yu retained her usual neutral behavior. The person speaking was Concubine Ping, who had just caught me having an affair with Yelu Zihan. She took my hand affectionately, which was both generous and decent.
"After this turmoil, we sisters can still chat and laugh here. It is God's blessing. We must cherish this fate and serve the emperor well in the future."
I looked at the other three people with a smile and didn't answer.
In the past, I would have thought that Concubine Ping said this because of ancient women's natural view of men, three wives and four concubines.
It's just that, overtly and covertly, after more or less suffering from dogs like Ping Fei who don't bark but bite people, I finally learned that silence is golden.
Seeing that I didn't answer, Concubine Ping opened another topic.
"Sister Jia Fei, we were just talking about how Prime Minister Situ of our country will be leaving in a few days.
This time, they helped me a lot out of consideration for Sister Jia Fei. We were still thinking that it would be better to make the farewell party a little bigger.
It just so happens that a lot of things have happened during this period, which should only add to the joy."
"So, sister is determined. Since we are going to have a big event, we should invite the ministers to come and get together.
King Sikong Fu asked Situ Cheng to help the emperor because of the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Now it would be best for us to greet people with the courtesy of envoys? The emperor just now had this intention."
Having seen Concubine Ping's tactic of pushing me into public opinion at every turn, I simply brought the issue to a national matter.
She just happened to mention this problem, so I threw the hot potato to her. I was happy to be free and could help Jiao Ziqiao, so why not do it.
"However, holding a banquet has always been a matter that can only be decided by the queen. This..."
