Speaking of this, although the steward still had many questions, he didn't dare to say more and quickly took the booklet and went to make arrangements.
The Su family came to the Qianqing Palace with the Jia Concubine Jin family. Just as they were about to sit down with the Jia Concubine, the palace attendant standing aside saluted and said: "Ms. Qi Chun Concubine, where is your seat?"
Mrs. Su looked in the direction of his finger and found that it was the third seat, which was the position of people who were not in charge, such as Yu Guiren and Lu Guiren. Before she could speak, Jin frowned slightly and said: " The pure concubine is the master of the first palace, how can she sit on the third seat? You, my slave, have remembered it wrong."
The palace servant said in fear: "Returning to Concubine Jia, this is the seat arranged by Concubine Hui herself. How dare I remember wrongly? Concubine Chun's position... is indeed in the third seat."
Seeing that the palace official was sure, Jin became more and more confused and said, "Is the Empress Hui Concubine confused by too many things? Sister, why don't we go ask the Empress Hui Concubine."
Jin didn't know what was going on, but Su knew it. Gao clearly wanted to take revenge on her and embarrass her. Oh, Gao Ruyu really couldn't wait.
As her mind was spinning, Mrs. Su smiled and said, "There's no need to trouble Concubine Hui. It's just a seat. It's the same everywhere."
Jin shook his head repeatedly and said: "How can this be done? My sister is also the head of the first palace, so there is no reason to sit in the third seat."
Su smiled and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter. Besides, Concubine Hui must be very busy now, so why bother her anymore." Seeing that Jin wanted to say more, she said, "Okay, sit down quickly. , I have also passed."
Mrs. Jin nodded helplessly. When the pure concubine sat next to Mr. Keliete, the noble lady, the latter asked strangely: "My dear lady, why are you sitting here?"
Su Shi smiled warmly and said: "My seat is here. If you don't come here to sit, where should I sit?"
Ms. Kelliet, Ms. Lu, and Ms. Chen looked at each other, and they both saw astonishment in each other's eyes. In the palace, the rules are the most important. The Su family is the master of the palace, and they should not interact with each other emotionally or rationally. These noble people sat together.
"Mother, has the palace made a mistake? You..." As soon as Keliete finished speaking, Mrs. Su smiled and said, "There is no mistake. I am sitting here. Mr. Yu said this, is it possible?" Don’t you want to sit with me?”
Before Ms. Keliete could say anything, Lu Guiren said coldly: "My Majesty said she was sitting here, how could she have so much to say."
"It's not that I'm talking too much, but the arrangement of the seats is really unreasonable." As soon as Keliete said this, Lu Guiren took over and said: "Since you think it's unreasonable, then go to Concubine Hui and tell her, What's the use of just complaining here?" After saying that, she turned her eyes and landed on Su, and said with a half-smile: "Mother, do you think so?"
Madam Su knew that Madam Lu had always been close to Madam Gao, and she usually treated her with respect. But now she suddenly changed her attitude. She must have been informed by Madam Gao, and immediately said: "Since Madam Hui Fei has arranged for me to sit here, She has her own reasons here, this matter ends here, no one should say anything more."
Mrs. Lu curled her lips and exchanged cryptic glances with Mrs. Chen. After the last ray of sunlight fell, Xiayue walked in. Except for the Fucha family and the Gao family, everyone stood up and looked at the Concubine Xian. After bowing, Xianyue motioned for everyone to excuse themselves and walked towards the table where Mrs. Gao was sitting. When she passed Mrs. Su, she stopped and said with a half-smile: "Originally, I was thinking of sitting at the same table with the pure concubines. I was able to talk properly, but now it seems I can’t.”
Mrs. Su said respectfully: "The family banquet hasn't started yet. If you have anything to do, please just give me your orders. I will listen attentively."
"There are no instructions, it's just some gossip about parents." After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Su with a cold smile, "Hey, what's wrong with Chunbi's face? Why is it so red and swollen?"
The Lu family didn't pay attention at first, but when Ling Ruo mentioned it, they found that Su's face was red and swollen, with a few faint red marks still visible.
Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Excuse me, concubine, to tell you the truth, your Majesty looks a bit like she was beaten by someone."
Su's expression was calm and she said: "Lu Guiren has misunderstood. I ate the wrong thing yesterday, which caused allergies on my face. I have already taken medicine before, and Dr. Zhuang said that I will be fine in a few days."
"I see." Xianyue held Su's cold hand and said with concern: "I remember that Chunbi had an allergy not long ago, and now she is like this again. It seems that you should be more careful when eating in the future. Try your best.
Eat less beef, mutton, and river seafood that can easily induce allergies.”
Mrs. Su withdrew her hand without leaving any trace, and said with gratitude: "Thank you for your concern, I will be careful."
Xianyue glanced at her empty hands, smiled slightly, and was about to leave when she suddenly said: "I have seen the menu of today's family banquet. There are especially many things like beef, mutton and river seafood. In case the pure concubine doesn't
If you eat it carefully, won't it aggravate the allergy? How to do it." With that said, she called A Luo and said, "Immediately report this matter to Concubine Hui and ask her to make a decision."
A Luoyi left and came over after a while: "Master, Concubine Hui has ordered the imperial kitchen to change all the dishes for the third table to light vegetarian dishes to ensure that Concubine Hui will not be allergic."
Xianyue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Concubine Hui is so considerate and considerate. Concubine Chun really needs to thank Concubine Hui properly."
Su didn't raise her head, nor did her voice waver. "Yes, I will go over and say thank you to Concubine Hui." After saying that, she immediately walked up to Gao and bowed to her.
The moon looked
After taking one look, he immediately helped Mrs. Su up with her own hands and said with a false smile: "I don't need to be polite, I blame you for not being careful. I actually forgot that you are prone to allergies. Fortunately, Concubine Xian reminded me, otherwise I would have worsened my condition.
But that’s troublesome.”
"The two empresses have taken great care of me, and I can't thank you enough." Amid such duplicity, Mrs. Su returned to the table and sat down.
Xianyue smiled slightly and was about to sit down when she heard the eunuch's shrill voice, "The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"
For a moment, everyone in the Qianqing Palace stood up and saluted the emperor and empress who walked in hand in hand. Hongli seemed to be in a very good mood and raised his hand and said: "Everyone, get up. Today is a family banquet. There is no need to be formal."
After Hongli and Mingyu sat down at the banquet, everyone dared to lower their heads and stand up. However, no one moved their chopsticks, not even Hongli, because there was still one person who didn't come. This family banquet would only be possible if she came.
Open the banquet.
As the palace servants placed plates of delicacies on the table, the eunuch's thin and high-pitched voice sounded again, "The Queen Mother has arrived!"
