Yan Zhantian's seat was very close to the front. Everyone had already taken their seats at this time, except for His Majesty and the concubine who hadn't come yet.
As soon as they entered, they enjoyed the attention of all the people. Yan Zhantian was already a man of great influence. Even though he was full of evil spirits, many young wives and girls still looked at him with tenderness.
Contrary to Yan Zhantian, the eyes he looked at Jiang You were scrutinizing, cold, sarcastic, and mostly malicious, as if he was waiting to see her joke.
Jiang You was unfazed and went straight to the seat to sit down and wait for the banquet to begin.
It didn't take long for Huangfu Jianming to arrive, followed by a group of orioles and swallows, all of them dressed up in colorful clothes and beautiful in their own way.
Huangfu Jianming had not yet established himself as queen, but the highest-ranking concubine Mei Guifei had recently received great favor and was pulled by Huangfu Jianming to sit on the throne.
Concubine Mei shyly pushed His Majesty to ask him to restrain himself, her eyes full of love.
The other concubines took their seats one by one, looking at His Majesty and the noble concubine, so jealous that they almost twisted their handkerchiefs to pieces.
"Recently, the Chief Assistant has eliminated two black sheep for Your Majesty, and Concubine Mei has been promoted to a higher position, and has been honored and favored." Yan Zhantian was better informed than Jiang You, and explained to Jiang You in a low voice.
Concubine Mei is the legitimate daughter of the First Assistant, and her status was high when she entered the palace. However, before that, the First Assistant was a centrist, conscientious in her duties as an official, and worked diligently.
However, she has recently begun to show her talents, eliminating dissidents for His Majesty, and her daughter's status has also risen accordingly.
It has to be said that Huangfu Jianming is very good at playing power. He will benefit anyone who does things for him. If one person acts as a gun, the whole family will benefit.
As a result, the competition between the imperial court and the imperial court was very fierce, and the harem was no less willing to give in.
"Dear ladies, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I have specially hosted a banquet at Lingbo Hall. Lingbo is a vast expanse of land, and it is the best place to admire the moon. My dear, don't be restrained. You must have fun and eat tonight." Huangfu Jianming is not a tyrant.
, he is quite casual in private, but at this moment, he is raising his glass to the courtiers, which is a bit romantic and freehand.
The ministers raised their glasses one after another, chatting and laughing, accompanied by the sound of pipa and zither strings played by the singers and musicians in the palace, which was quite lively.
Jiang looked at the red wine in the glass crystal cup again and took a sip with great interest.
"This is fruit wine. The alcohol content is not high. It tastes sour and sweet. You should like it." Yan Zhantian explained at the side.
The entrance is slightly astringent, sour and sweet, the wine taste is very weak, and the taste is average. It can only be drank as a drink. Jiang smacked his lips again and lost interest.
It would take some time for the itching powder to take effect. Jiang You sat here firmly, just wanting to see Huangfu Jianming embarrass himself in public.
No one can tease her without paying the price.
[Melancholy Butterfly]: It is said that there are three thousand beauties in the harem. Did the emperor really have three thousand wives?
[Melancholy Butterfly]: Even if you change one every night, it will take more than eight years to sleep all over again. Doesn’t it mean that a concubine only has one life every few years?
[Melancholy Butterfly]: Does the emperor really have dragon energy to protect his body? Or is there any secret recipe that can maintain the state of being energetic and fierce every day?
[Succubus Scarlet Color]: Is this last sentence the key point of Butterfly Geigei?
[Pear Blossom Pressing Begonia]: It’s not as exaggerated as three thousand, it’s just a metaphor. The emperor’s women probably have dozens, maybe hundreds. If you don’t have a background or talent, you may not be able to get ahead in your life. The emperor favors them.
The concubines are either from a distinguished family or beautiful, and even more absurdly, they dote on the palace maids, but there are almost no palace maids in high positions. The harem is more difficult to get along in than the workplace. Really, I have experienced it myself.
[Pear Blossom Pressing Begonia]: As for the last question, have you ever thought that it might be due to talent?
【Melancholy Butterfly】:......
[Welcoming the man]: If you don’t want to lift the butterfly geigei? Then we can only be sisters [smile]
