With this thought in mind, she was not far behind. She poured a full glass of wine and stood up to give a toast like Mr. Shu Mulu did. However, her words were completely different from those of Mr. Shu Mulu, which caused a burst of low laughter. He sat opposite her.
Rong Changzai even covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Concubine Cheng is so worry-free. She just used the words Sister Hui just said. It shows that the concubine is not sincere at all."
Fucha Yirong was a beautiful girl who entered the palace together with Shu Mulu and others. Although she was somewhat beautiful, she was not as outstanding as Tong Jia and Wen Ruqing before, so Yinzhen treated her just average. But she was average.
He is already much better than the Dai Jia family, which makes the Fucha family not have much respect for the Dai Jia family.
Dai Jia was so angry when she contradicted her that she wanted to tear Fu Cha's mouth to pieces. However, since Yinzhen and others were all there, she could only hold back her anger and said: "Which rule says that the words that Hui Gui said?
Others can’t say it.”
Mrs. Fucha sipped the wine stains on her lips and didn't care about Mrs. Dai Jia's anger. "There are no rules, but it's rare for empress to say a few toasts, so why not think of a few by yourself?" she said.
At this point, she suddenly clapped her hands and arched her eyebrows and said, "I understand, I must have thought about it, but I just couldn't think of it right away, so..."
In the face of Dai Jia's increasingly ugly face, Ling Ruo said: "Okay, Rong Chang is here, it doesn't matter what the toast is, what matters is the heart. I believe that Cheng Bin's heart will not be half less than that of Hui Guiren."
.On the contrary, Rong Chang emphasizes the words rather than the focus, which seems to be putting the cart before the horse.”
Fu Cha dared not to take Dai Jia in her eyes, but she didn't dare not to take Ling Ruo in her eyes. When she saw her speaking up for Dai Jia, she could only say politely: "Your Majesty, you have taught me a lesson."
On the other side, Yinzhen also smiled and drank up the re-poured wine. As for Nala, she had always been the most responsive to Yinzhen, so naturally she would not lag behind and drank the same amount of wine.
As this little chai song ended, people were toasting one after another. After a while, Yinzhen's face turned red despite his drinking capacity. Nala's face was even more like a peach blossom, stroking his forehead and said to Yinzhen:
"Your Majesty, you cannot serve this wine any more, otherwise I will pour it."
"Others can be disrespectful, but there is one person who must be respected." Under Nala's puzzled gaze, Yinzhen said to Ling Ruo, who was sitting quietly aside: "Concubine Xi, even Hongshi Hongli and the others respect me, but only the rest
You are alone, don’t you have nothing to say to me after this year?"
Ling Ruo smiled sweetly, stood up, took the wine pot from the palace servants, and poured it for Yinzhen herself. Then she held the cup and said in a solemn voice: "I hope that the future of the Qing Dynasty will be smooth, the officials will be honest and self-sufficient, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. In this way, Your Majesty
You can also be less careful."
Her words made Yinzhen a little surprised, but it soon turned into a gentle smile. Ling Ruo really understood his thoughts best in the world, but it was just what he longed for most.
While looking at each other, they raised their hands and drank the wine in one gulp. This cup was undoubtedly the happiest cup that Yinzhen had ever drunk.
After paying tribute to Yinzhen, Ling Ruo walked up to Nala and poured wine for him with his own hands. However, he only poured half a cup and then stopped. He poured a full cup himself, held the wine and bowed down respectfully:
"I and all my sisters wish the Queen a thousand years of life."
"Why are you being so polite? Get up quickly." After Nala helped her up personally, he stroked her hot cheek and said: "A thousand years is too slim, I never ask for it, my only wish is to be with you all the time.
When the emperor grows old, I wonder if I will be so lucky."
Ling Ruo said with a smile: "My mother-in-law is the best in the world. In terms of blessing, she is the first one besides the emperor. She will definitely get her wish."
Yinzhen also said from the side: "What Concubine Xi said is right. Now Concubine Xi is taking care of all the affairs in the palace. I see that she has taken care of everything in an orderly manner during these days. She even moved so many of us to the Old Summer Palace."
, and nothing has gone wrong, so Queen, you can rest assured and rest in peace in the future."
Listening to what Yinzhen meant, it seemed that the power in the palace would always be handed over to the Niu Hulu clan in the future. If this was the case, it would be extremely detrimental to herself. At that moment, she tentatively said: "Your Majesty, my concubine is actually in good health.
It’s almost done, there’s no need for Concubine Xi to work so hard.”
How could Ling Ruo not understand what Nala was thinking? Nala wanted to take back the power of the Sixth Palace, but she refused to let him get his way. Thinking like this, she said with fear on her face: "Mother, what do you think I can do?
Is it bad?”
Seeing her cross words, Nala was displeased, but she couldn't show it on her face. Instead, she comforted her and said: "Concubine Xi, what are you talking about? During this time, you have been working hard to help me take care of all the affairs in the harem."
, I heard from people in the palace that they are often busy until midnight, which really makes me feel bad."
Ling Ruo knelt down quickly and said, "It is my concubine's job to share my worries for you, so how dare I say hard work? Besides, if your wife becomes exhausted due to overwork, wouldn't that make the emperor worried?"
Before Nala could say anything more, Yinzhen had already said: "What Concubine Xi said is reasonable. Although the Queen seems to be fine now, you have been stabbed and need to be fully recovered, so now it is better to let Concubine Xi
Work harder."
"Yes." Nala responded helplessly. She knew very well that even though Yinzhen said something nice, in fact, she didn't care about herself at all, but deliberately favored Concubine Xi and wanted to help Concubine Xi evade her own power.
, and she became a queen in name only, just like in the past when the Nian family was at its peak.
No, she must not let Concubine Xi get her way, she must take back her own power, and she must not let Nian's disaster happen again.
However, the Nala family also knew in her heart that the Niu Hulu family was definitely more difficult to deal with than the Nian family, because the Niu Hulu family was not as arrogant and unscrupulous as the Nian family. Of course, the more important point was Yinzhen's love for her.
, it’s not about the family, it’s not about the appearance, it’s just pure love. This is what makes her most troubled and fearful.
When her thoughts were turning, the person she hated was already holding the cup and said: "I know that your Majesty is not strong enough to drink, but I still ask your Majesty to drink this small cup."
Nala suppressed the hatred in her heart, just like the gentle words just now, "Concubine Xi is toasting, I will drink even if I am drunk. How can such a small half cup reflect the sisterhood between me and Concubine Xi? Welcome to the Spring Festival
, fill up the wine table for me to welcome the spring?"
Nala called out several times before Yingchun came back to her senses and hurriedly filled Nala's glass of wine, accidentally spilling a few drops, which made Nala frown.
It's hard to say anything to a person's face, so you have to reprimand him.
Yingchun retreated tremblingly. From the moment she saw Concubine Xi, she had been feeling uneasy. She wanted to see it but didn't dare to, for fear that Nala would see some flaws.
