Hearing Zhuang Mingyue's words, the woman smiled, and then said, "Girl, why don't you go and sit in my hall?" Come with me when the banquet begins, and promise to deliver you to the second prince in its entirety. ”

Even if the friendship between Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu is too close, it is not a new thing, but when someone mentions it like this, Zhuang Mingyue will still feel a little uncomfortable.

Standing a little hesitantly, as if she saw the doubts in Zhuang Mingyue's heart, the woman made a gesture of a look to the maid behind her, and then took two steps back, making a look like she was leaving, and immediately someone stepped forward and said, "Miss Zhuang, please?" In order to invite Miss Zhuang to appreciate her face, our family Zhaoyi Niangniang ordered a lot of pastries to be prepared in the dining room early in the morning. ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Mingyue probably already had a score in her heart, and she also knew who the woman in front of her was not particularly beautiful, but her appearance was beautiful and gave people a feeling like a spring breeze.

In the harem, a Zhaoyi has sprung up recently.

It is said that he was in the imperial garden before, and accidentally collided with other people, and as a result, a person was punished to kneel outside the east gate of the harem, and he didn't beg for mercy when he carried it alone.

It wasn't until the emperor happened to pass by the side door that he found out about it. Since then, this Zhaoyi has risen all the way, and has been sitting firmly in today's position, and even faintly has the title of the first favorite concubine.

It is said that this Zhaoyi does not have a gorgeous appearance like others, but he is loved by the emperor.

When we met today, Zhuang Mingyue had a rough understanding of why Zhaoyi read the matter of favor.

Even if she was brought to this place inexplicably, in the process of talking to the person just now, Zhuang Mingyue did not feel any discomfort, there was a feeling of being respected, she was listening carefully to what she was saying, and it was easy to have a good impression of this person.

Zhuang Mingyue nodded, knowing that she probably had no reason or right to refuse today: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

Zhuang Mingyue said.

Zhaoyi, who had already turned around, heard this, smiled with satisfaction, and then faded the smile, turned around, and grabbed Zhuang Mingyue affectionately, and the two of them walked towards the palace where Zhaoyi lived alone.

Because she was too favored, the emperor even made this Zhaoyi the head of the first palace alone, but he didn't arrange anyone else for her, so that she monopolized a palace, but she was a concubine who was a lot red.

"I don't know why Zhaoyi Niangniang summoned me here today?" Zhuang Mingyue sat down in her place peacefully. No one was called to the palace in a panic or nervousness, but began to taste the so-called delicious pastries introduced by Zhaoyi before.

I didn't worry about doing things in this pastry for a while, and I was happy to eat it alone, but it made this Zhaoyi look at Zhuang Mingyue.

"You have a big heart, and you don't look nervous at all." Zhuang Mingyue's style naturally won the favor of this Zhaoyi, so she couldn't help but pick up the pastries and enjoy them with Zhuang Mingyue.

Zhuang Mingyue swallowed what was in her mouth, took a sip of tea, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said: "

It's no secret that my mother came to me, so why should I worry? ”

Zhaoyi smiled and said, "Even so, then the palace will be straight to the point."

When she said this, she waved her hand and retreated from the people who were waiting around, and only herself and Zhuang Mingyue were left in the palace.

"Presumably Miss Zhuang should also know about the recent foreign visit, right?"

finally got to the point, which made Zhuang Mingyue breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, looking at Zhaoyi's appearance, she should have a request for herself, so she was so polite.

Zhuang Mingyue nodded conservatively: "I have indeed heard of it, and I went to join in the fun today, but it's a pity that the sedan chair is tightly covered and I didn't see anything."

Hearing Zhuang Mingyue's words, this Zhaoyi suddenly laughed: "That's because there is no one in the sedan chair, even if there are many people watching you, you can't see anything famous."

As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Mingyue felt very surprised: "I don't know how to explain Niangniang's words?"

Zhaoyi smiled, put down the teacup in his hand, and twisted the pastry in his hand with his hand: "I think I'm afraid not many people know, just two days ago, this princess who came from a foreign country had already entered the palace."

Zhuang Mingyue really didn't know about this matter, and when she heard Zhaoyi mention it, her eyes widened in surprise, and she almost forgot to chew the things in her mouth, and her cheeks bulged, like a frightened little hamster.

This stupid and stupid look quickly won Zhaoyi's laughter: "Look at you! What are you doing with such a surprised look? ”

Zhuang Mingyue came back to her senses and swallowed the contents of her mouth with difficulty: "Didn't you say that ordinary people only arrived in the capital today?" Why did the princess come two days ago? ”

Zhaoyi smiled: "Isn't this matter simple?" It's nothing more than because this so-called princess came to His Majesty from the beginning, and now she entered the palace early, successfully won His Majesty's favor, and is now being favored in the palace! ”

When she said this, Zhuang Mingyue could clearly hear the sour taste, but she didn't make a sound, and she didn't respond to this Zhaoyi's words.

And Zhaoyi expected Zhuang Mingyue to have this reaction, so she didn't say anything, but continued: "When Your Majesty held a banquet today, it was just to go through the motions, and this princess will probably have a rightful position in two days."

Hearing this, Zhuang Mingyue probably understood what this Yiyi had come for here, so she couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and she didn't guess for a while, what kind of abacus did this Zhaoyi have in her heart.

"I don't know what happened to Niangniang summoning the people girl into the palace?" Zhuang Mingyue didn't want to take the initiative to ask, so she could only pretend to be stupid.

Zhaoyi couldn't see her plan, so she simply said her thoughts directly: "I believe that the girl also knows that this palace has been favored in this palace for more than a day or two, and today such a princess suddenly came, and this palace feels that this princess is very problematic, so I hope to join forces with the girl to find the handle of this princess."

These words are high-sounding, but Zhuang Mingyue has already understood, it is nothing more than this Zhaoyi who wants to get rid of an enemy with his own hands.

"The folk girl is just a pu

Through the people, there is more participation in the affairs of the palace, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient. Zhuang Mingyue first politely rejected Zhaoyi's proposal.

However, how could Zhaoyi let her go so easily: "But the girl came to the palace today, and went to the banquet with the palace, no matter who it seems, the girl has already been involved in the palace, it is better to be a grasshopper on a rope, and everyone in the province will continue to waste their tongues here."

This is a good point, although there is a threat meaning, but Zhuang Mingyue naturally understands the meaning of this Zhaoyi's words: "How can Zhaoyi Niangniang be sure that other people will think so?"

Zhaoyi suddenly smiled: "Even if no one thinks so, this palace will let them think something, the most feared thing in this world has never been the enemy, but the human heart, and the human heart is something that cannot be seen or touched, you will never know how terrible the human heart is, nor will you understand how fragile it is."

Hearing this, Zhuang Mingyue was really a fool if she couldn't hear it, and it was clear that the Zhaoyi in front of her had already known the rumor about herself that was prevalent two days ago, and successfully guessed from the rumor that it was very likely to be aimed at Zhuang Mingyue.

"Why don't you meet with this princess today, and then discuss it later?"

Zhuang Mingyue left a way out for herself, and did not agree to Zhaoyi's proposal at the first time, and of course this Zhaoyi also understands that forcing people can't be pushed too hard, if the opposite effect is obtained, it will be in vain.

He nodded immediately, and the tension between the two of them eased in an instant.

They also sat in their seats casually and tasted the pastries, but outsiders couldn't see any changes, but both of them knew that the atmosphere was not as relaxed as when they first stepped into the palace.

I didn't eat much pastry, but I didn't have to eat much at the banquet to keep myself hungry.

It wasn't until dusk approached that someone outside the hall came to deliver the message, and it was already time for the palace feast to begin.

Zhaoyi nodded as if she knew, and she didn't change into any other clothes, so she wore this dress, and she wore a brocade flower jacket on her body, and the whole person looked energetic and bright.

Zhuang Mingyue didn't dress up too much, and when she went out, she only asked people to change her into a jade smoke Luo Qiyun skirt, with a cloud bun on her head.

The two went out one after the other.

When I came to Qionghua Pavilion, I looked at the flowers from a distance, and there were already many concubines sitting.

Because of the banquet between the minister and the concubine, the middle of the banquet between the concubine and the minister was separated by a thick screen.

Zhuang Mingyue was sent by Zhaoyi to the minister's screen, and watched the lady leave.

As soon as Long Yuanxiu received Zhuang Mingyue's message, he anxiously put down his work and entered the palace, and now he finally saw someone in Qionghua Building, and when he saw her intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuang Mingyue followed Long Yuanxiu to the side, and then whispered what she had said to Zhaoyi before.

Long Yuanxiu frowned: "Not many people know about the princess of a foreign country entering the palace, except for the emperor, me and the imperial brother, almost no fourth person knows, how did this Zhaoyi know?"
