When Zhichun left, he happened to meet Mr. Huang who was here. The latter was quite surprised when he learned that Xianyue was going to invite Concubine Yu to a banquet. After entering the room and bowing, he said: "Why did the empress remember to invite Concubine Yu to the banquet? Didn't you always do it before?"
Do you suspect that she was involved in harming Princess He Jing?"
Xianyue was suspicious that Concubine Yu was using the queen to harm Changle, so she once mentioned it to her. She also wrote a letter to her father and secretly investigated the matter, but there was no progress.
Xianyue said coldly: "It's not that she is suspicious, and I am certain that I am definitely the one who led all of this, and she has tried to harm me several times. Although I have no evidence to convict her, if I don't say anything or do nothing,
, she will think that I am easy to bully, so she will push her further." After a pause, she added: "If Concubine Yi has nothing to do, she might as well stay and have dinner together."
Mrs. Huang nodded in agreement, and not long after, Zhichun led Concubine Yu over. The latter was as humble and respectful as ever. After saluting, she said with gratitude: "I am really flattered by the banquet given by the empress."
Xianyue smiled slightly and said: "Concubine Yu is serious, it's just an ordinary lunch. After all, after serving the emperor for so many years, in addition to family banquets or Mid-Autumn Festival banquets, I, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yi
, I have never sat down to have a meal together, and we can have some fun today, but it is better than having a meal alone in the desert, don’t you think so, Concubine Yi?"
Mrs. Huang bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right. When you eat alone, you will find all kinds of delicacies tasteless."
Concubine Yu smiled and said, "I feel the same way. If the empress doesn't dislike it, I and Concubine Yi will often come here to have meals with you in the future. How about that?"
Xianyue said with a smile: "It's great that Concubine Yu has such a heart." As soon as she finished speaking, the palace servant came in, knelt down and said: "Master, lunch has been prepared in the side hall, please move over and have a meal.
"
Xianyue nodded slightly, held Ah Luo's hand, stood up and walked to the side hall, Huang and Yufei followed closely behind. When they sat down in the side hall, Zhichun held a wine cup and filled each of them with clear and transparent wine.
Pear blossom wine, there are a few pieces of pear blossom floating on the wine, which is really beautiful.
After Concubine Yu took a sip, she praised: "Although it has been fermented, the aroma of the pear blossoms has not been damaged at all, and the aftertaste is long. This is the most delicious pear blossom wine I have ever tasted. How about the concubine brewing it?"
"It's A Luo's craftsmanship. If Concubine Yu likes it, I will send some to you later." Saying this, Xianyue said with a half-smile: "Concubine Yu, does she know a wandering doctor?"
Concubine Yu's hand holding the cup trembled, and she immediately said: "Young doctor? Why do you ask me about this all of a sudden? I have been staying in the palace, how can I know someone who travels around the world?"
"Really?" Xianyue chuckled and said, "I sent a letter to the palace with the prince, saying that I found a wandering doctor and bought a strange fragrance called lily of the valley from him. When butterflies smell it, they will look like...
Go crazy and attack anything they see."
Huang was startled and said: "She looks crazy... When something happened to Princess He Jing, the butterfly was like this. Is it because she smelled the fragrance of lily of the valley?"
Concubine Yu also looked surprised and said: "There is such a strange fragrance in the world?"
Xianyue'e raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Yes, but that's not the strangest thing. The wandering doctor actually recognized that Concubine Yu's brother had bought lily of the valley incense from him."
"There is such a thing. Why did Tuhe buy this thing for no reason?" This matter was done by Concubine Yu. She naturally knew everything about it, but she didn't understand why Xianyue told her this.
Logically speaking, since Xianyue and the others found out, they should report it to Hongli immediately.
Xianyue personally poured wine for Concubine Yu and said with a smile, "I should ask Concubine Yu about this."
Concubine Yu bowed and said, "I forgive you for being ignorant and not understanding the Queen's wishes."
Xianyue said in a cool voice: "You used the queen's hands to kill Changle. Later, you spread rumors that slandered me. Even after being reprimanded by the emperor, you still didn't give up. Knowing that I and the prince's search around could make Butterfly
Crazy Qixiang, so you sent someone to pretend to be a wandering doctor and lure Prince He and me into the game.
I thought I found evidence that you and the Queen harmed Changle together; once you and the prince bring the You Fang Langzhong to the Emperor, You Fang Langzhong's story will probably change immediately. If I am not mistaken, I should say that it is.
You conspired with the prince and me to deliberately seek him out to frame you and the queen, right?"
Concubine Yu said with an ugly face: "I don't know what your Majesty is talking about."
"Concubine Yu is so smart, how could she not understand what I said?" Xianyue took a jade ball and placed it in Concubine Yu's bowl, and continued: "But I have warned Concubine Yu long ago, so that you don't be smart in the future.
,pity,
Concubine Yu never listened to the advice; if Doctor Youfang was referring to someone from Fuhacha's house, I might have believed it, but it happened that he was referring to Tuhe. As Tuhe, how could he personally
Are you going to buy some lily of the valley?"
Concubine Yu put down the wine glass that had mostly been spilled and said coldly: "I really admire my concubine for her thoughtfulness. What I thought she was overestimating is actually an underestimation."
Listening to their words, Mrs. Huang was both shocked and angry. She never imagined that Concubine Yu could be so vicious, not only harming Chang Le, but also setting up such a conspiracy. Fortunately, Xianyue saw through it in time, otherwise we don't know what the trouble would have been like.
Xianyue slowly said: "Concubine Yu was afraid that the prince and she would find out the origin of Lianxiang of the Valley sooner or later, so she thought it would be better to strike first. Unfortunately..." She stared into Concubine Yu's eyes and said coldly: "You lost!"
Facing her gaze, Concubine Yu smiled slowly and said, "It's just a matter of winning or losing for a moment, it doesn't count..." Before she could finish her words, a glass of wine was splashed on her face.
Seeing this, Dongmei quickly took a handkerchief and wiped it for Concubine Yu, and then angrily said to Xianyue, who was holding an empty cup: "My mistress is one of the four concubines. Even if you are a noble concubine, you cannot pour wine on my mistress."
, if the emperor knew about it, he would definitely punish you."
"Really?" Xianyue said with a smile: "Who saw this, Concubine Poyu? Concubine Yi, did you see it?"
Huang reacted quickly and said immediately: "I only saw Concubine Yu pouring wine on herself. She probably drank too much pear wine and did these weird things while drunk."
"You..." Dongmei was about to say more, but Concubine Yu already said: "You have no right to speak here, why don't you step aside for me!"
After Dongmei stepped aside, Concubine Yu stood up and said: "It seems that there is no need to continue this lunch. I will leave."
"Wait a minute." Xianyue walked up to her and said: "Concubine Yu is right, this time it's just a temporary win or loss, it's nothing. However, in the future, you will keep losing, and I will not give you any more
