Gu Zhaoyi gritted her teeth, "Since the Emperor is afraid of Prime Minister Xue, then we sisters will work together to find fault with Concubine Xue. If she is surrounded by brothers, how can her father save her? []"
The queen smiled faintly, as if warning, "Gu Zhaoyi, you are also a Zhaoyi after all. Are you going to disturb the peace of the harem when you say these words?"
Gu Zhaoyi was startled and hurriedly knelt down, "My sister is joking, please don't take it seriously."
Concubine Wang Shu and Li Jieyu both spoke to the queen in silence.
"As a queen, I have the responsibility to maintain the peace of the harem. Only with peace in the harem can the emperor handle state affairs with peace of mind. Sisters, don't worry. The emperor's heart is still with my sister. As long as my sister says a word, the emperor will still be happy."
Everyone is lucky, but now that Concubine Xue is favored, you should give gifts to those of you who should give them, so as not to make her look down on our royal sisters, Yue Chan and Yue Slave, serve tea to all of you empresses."
"Sisters, thank you, Queen Sister." All the concubines said in unison.
After drinking tea, the concubines took their leave from Zhaoyang Palace and returned to each palace to prepare gifts and visit the imperial concubine at Moyang Palace.
Gu Zhaoyi, Wang Shufei and Li Jieyu stopped by.
"Sister, how true or false is what you said about the queen?" Gu Zhaoyi asked Concubine Wang Shu on the way.
Wang Shufei smiled coquettishly, "Sister, doesn't the Queen turn a blind eye to what she does to you and me sometimes?"
Li Jieyu smiled weakly, "Sisters, can't we just come here secretly? We must go to Moyang Palace, but let's not start teasing the noble concubine right away. Maybe she will hear something from the emperor.
After blowing the wind, the emperor loves her even more, so aren't we self-defeating?"
Concubine Wang Shu smiled, "What my sister said makes sense. Let's prepare some generous gifts and go to Moyang Palace. Isn't it the canonization ceremony tomorrow? Let's make a fool of her in front of everyone and embarrass the emperor. Then who do you think the emperor will blame?"
Gu Zhaoyi smiled charmingly, "Sister Wang, your skills are getting better and better."
Several people laughed again and again, which made the birds on the branches fly away.
As soon as the empress left the Moyang Palace, Eunuch Li came to read out the emperor's reward.
"The emperor has a reward, eighty pieces of silk and satin."
"The emperor has a reward, a night-bright pearl."
"The emperor has a reward, such as a pair of jade and gold earrings."
"The emperor has a reward, a pair of golden hairpins with butterflies."
…
Throughout the morning, Moyang Palace was bustling with traffic and bustling with people.
