According to the custom in the palace, on the day of the canonization of the palace, a palace banquet should be held in the Jiaofang Hall. All the royal ladies and concubines and concubines in the palace should be present.
However, the situation in Daqi's harem is quite delicate now.
The one who lives in the Jiaofang Hall is the Queen Mother Yu, and the one in charge of Fengyin is also the Queen Mother Yu.
Xie Mingxi, the queen of the middle palace, lives in Fulin Palace. There is also Empress Xiao, who has an embarrassing status, and still lives in the east palace.
All the noble ladies could not help but secretly speculate in their hearts about how the "undercurrents" and "swords and swords" would happen at today's palace banquet! However, they did not expect that the palace banquet would be unexpectedly harmonious and lively.
Empress Dowager Yu had a kind face and was full of praise for Empress Xie.
Empress Xie was very respectful to Empress Dowager Yu and quite affectionate to Empress Xiao.
Empress Xiao, who presided over the palace banquet, was even more gentle and humble, making everyone feel at ease.
Everyone was dizzy and dizzy after watching this, and they kept muttering in their hearts. Why don't they start fighting? Where is the show they have been looking forward to for many days?
Fortunately, everyone did not wait in vain, and soon the real show came.
…
Queen Mother Yu suddenly opened her mouth and said: "The Ai family has lived in Jiaofang Palace for decades. There are many memories in this palace, just like the flesh and blood of the Ai family. The Ai family really cannot be separated."
"A few days ago, Mrs. Xie once told the Ai family that this palace will always belong to the Ai family. I wonder if these words still count today?"
All the noble ladies were refreshed, and all their eyes glanced at Queen Xie.
Xie Mingxi, who was sitting next to Empress Dowager Yu, showed no trace of shame, anger or anger about "forcing her to marry" under the gaze of everyone. She had a smile on her face and said, "What my daughter-in-law said will certainly count."
When these words were said that day, only Xiao Yuhan and the feudal princes were present.
Today, all the royal ladies in the capital are here.
As soon as Xie Mingxi said this, it was like a bowl of water falling into a boiling oil pan, causing everyone to lose their senses.
Others could bear to watch the show silently without making a sound, but Mrs. Xu couldn't bear it. She stood up and shouted with great energy: "Wait a minute!"
Everyone's eyes turned to Mrs. Xu again.
Xu: "..."
Mrs. Xu, who bravely stepped forward, was shocked to realize what an occasion this was!
The person sitting at the top is the Queen Mother of the dynasty! The people sitting on both sides of the table are all ladies of the third rank or above. The most noble women in Daqi are all here.
She is a country woman, and she relied on her good luck to marry Mr. Xie to fill a house, and that's why she is in a good situation today. Where does she have the confidence to support Xie Mingxi on such occasions?
But……
Empress Dowager Yu is going too far!
There is no reason to humiliate your daughter-in-law like this in front of everyone!
Do you really think that there is no one in the Xie family?!
I don't know where the courage came from. Mrs. Xu straightened her back and said loudly: "Empress Dowager, I was born in the countryside and I don't know how to talk in roundabout ways. Today I spoke rashly. Please don't argue with me."
"I don't understand the rules in the palace. I only know that as the queen of the middle palace, I should live in the Jiaofang Palace and hold the phoenix seal. But today I went to the palace to watch the ceremony, but I didn't see the queen receiving the phoenix seal.
!”
"Also, what did the Queen Mother mean by what she just said? Could it be that she wants to live here forever? What will the Queen Mother do in the future?"
"You haven't lived in the Jiaofang Palace, and you don't have the Phoenix Seal. What kind of queen is she?"
"Even a rough country woman like me, who doesn't know a single word, knows that these are not etiquette. I heard that the Queen Mother has only learned a lesson, how come she doesn't understand such a simple thing?"
"I am your mother-in-law's grandmother, and I have to ask you clearly today. Don't bully girls from our Xie family just because we are a small family!"
Queen Mother Yu: "..."
Everyone: "..."
…
Mrs. Xu can eat three bowls of rice at a meal, and she speaks louder when she is stronger. What she said just now is almost like shouting. To describe it as inspiring is not an exaggeration.
The ladies' impressions of Mrs. Xu have also undergone earth-shaking changes.
What kind of country woman is this?
This is clearly a talented person who dares to challenge the Queen Mother to her face!
Even though Xu's words were vulgar, every one of them was reasonable. Thinking about it carefully, they were all to the point. The ladies who were watching the excitement were also frightened.
Look at Queen Mother Yu's complexion, which suddenly turned red and white, changing again and again. Her body was shaking with anger. For a moment, she forgot to scold her angrily!
No matter how today ends, they must keep this lesson in mind and never quarrel with Mrs. Xu in the future. Otherwise, they will be embarrassed in front of her.
Xiao Yuhan stared blankly at the powerful Xu family, and subconsciously glanced at his own mother, Mrs. Xiao.
How could Mrs. Xiao dare to say such words during her canonization ceremony in the middle palace?
Even though Mrs. Xu is a bit reckless and vulgar, her protectiveness towards Xie Mingxi is touching. It also makes her enviable...
At this time, Xie Mingxi also fell into a rare shock in her life.
During these days, she and Empress Dowager Yu used their own methods, and the fight never stopped.
Empress Dowager Yu deliberately said this in public today to force her to express her position in public. She followed the trend because she had already dug a deep hole, and she was waiting for Empress Dowager Yu to fall into it and be unable to extricate herself...
I never expected that Mrs. Xu would suddenly show up like this.
After the shock, warmth and smile emerged from the bottom of my heart.
Xie Mingxi showed her first sincere smile of the day, warm and bright: "Grandma, please be patient. I know that grandma is thinking about me wholeheartedly, but what happened today was not what grandma thought."
"My mother has lived in this palace for decades and is reluctant to move out. She has no desire for power."
"My mother temporarily kept the phoenix seal for me, and it was out of kindness. Because I was young and ignorant, and had never taken care of the palace affairs. Therefore, I was able to be lazy for a while, and I could stay with my mother and learn how to take care of the palace affairs.
.In the future, the Queen Mother will personally hand over the Phoenix Seal to me."
"No matter what, I want to thank my grandmother for protecting me, a married girl from the Xie family!"
The last sentence is somewhat humorous.
All the ladies burst into laughter, and you said to me: "The Queen is so funny!"
"Old Mrs. Xu is really majestic today. I have to think carefully about whether I have offended the old lady in the past. In the future, you and I must be more cautious when speaking in front of Old Mrs. Xu."
"Isn't that right? Today's palace banquet is also extremely lively!"
Queen Mother Yu pursed her lips and took a deep look at Mrs. Xu. The sight of Mrs. Xu made her heart tremble, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
Will she not be able to leave the palace alive today?
Xie Mingxi smiled at the right time and said: "Grandma, please take a seat quickly! Standing like this all the time, I'm afraid my legs and feet will be sore and inconvenient."
Mrs. Xu composed herself, forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your consideration."
