6days ago Historical fiction 4
The palace banquet was held in Hanyuan Hall, with princes and nobles, ministers and wives, and people were mixed.

Zhou Qiang walked to the concubine's mat and wanted to choose an inconspicuous place to sit down.

At this time, a small palace servant came over, who claimed to be Tai Chi Palace. He was ordered by the saint to sit on the right side of the emperor's seat.

There are two seats in the front of the hall, one dragon and one phoenix, and they belong to the emperor and the queen mother.

There is one next to the dragon and phoenix seats. Zhou Qiang guessed that the lower left side of the Feng seat should sit Yun Wanyin, and the lower right side was the place Xiao Du left for her.

The high seat is downward with steps, and the lower steps are divided into two rows, with ministers on the left and concubines on the right.

Zhou Qiang politely declined the palace servant and sat in the position of a concubine under the steps.

It is natural for the Empress Dowager to praise Yun Wanyin, and Xiao Du praised her...

She and the two concubines Shu and De are both first-class concubines, and are not more qualified to sit next to him than others.

Although the palace sometimes does not look at the grade, but only looks at the favor, but the concubine is the concubine. Even if she is sitting in the same row with Yun Wanyin, her identity is still a dwarf.

Zhou Qiang doesn't want this kind of comparison.

When others see it, they will only envy the emperor, the empress is dignified and generous, and the beloved concubine is unparalleled.

She didn't want to be the embellishment next to his dragon throne.

Not long after, the Empress Dowager arrived, Yun Wanyin sat beside the Empress Dowager, and the position next to Xiao Du, Shufei smiled and filled it with a smile.

The music and singing are singing, silk and bamboo, the clothes are dancing in the rain, the singing and dancing in the hall are peaceful, and everyone is cheering and enjoying themselves.

Zhou Qiang sat quietly aside, as usual at the banquet, only using some tea, not daring to eat more dishes or drinks.

During this period, she could feel the burning gaze that Xiao Du cast to her from the rise, and even Xiao Tao reminded her several times. Inexplicably, Zhou Qiang didn't want to see him or respond.

Yun Wanyin didn't enter the palace, she could deceive herself and be with him.But Zhou Qiang couldn't ignore it, and it was difficult for him to continue to be his favorite concubine with peace of mind.

Every time I see Yun Wanyin, my heart feels like a stone is blocked.

She knew that as a concubine, not being jealous or jealous is the foundation of her long-term life.

But people are not plants and trees, but who can be ruthless?The only thing Xiao Du is wrong about acting and coaxing women.

If he had been like the old emperor, she would not have hope.

But I just got some unexplained feelings.

The palace banquet was over, and Zhou Qiang thought he could return to the palace, but he knew there would be activities later.When the new dynasty was first established, the emperor and the empress dowager wanted to climb the palace building and celebrate with the people.

The concubines followed with ease.

There is a tower about ten feet high in the middle of the gate of the palace. The palace servants helped the concubine climb up, and the ministers behind the emperor followed him.

Xiao Du stood against the railing, and the empress dowager led Yun Wanyin to Xiao Du's side. Yun Wanyin refused, "Auntie, this is not in line with the rules."

If you don’t comply with the rules, just say that you wish the people a happy new year with the emperor in advance!The queen mother said, suggestively giving Xiao Du a wink.

In front of everyone, Xiao Du was not easy to refuse, and the light flashed to Zhou Qiang, who was among the concubines in the back row.

Zhou Qiang hid at the end. When Xiao Du looked over, she turned her eyes away and pretended to admire the colorful lanterns hanging from the eaves of the palace building.

When he turned around, she looked over the head. The man's back was tall and heroic, the woman's figure was graceful and dignified, and bright fireworks rose. The two of them grabbed the gold yuan given by the palace servant and sprinkled it under the city.

The people on the streets were yelling and shouting, "Long live Your Majesty, and the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old."

I don’t know who took the lead, but Your Majesty and the Queen Mother added a sentence afterwards, “The Queen is Thousand Years Old.”

On New Year’s Eve, the king and the people are having fun together.

A joyful mood.

Except for a few concubines who are dressed up in a gorgeous manner and can only admire themselves on the railing.

The emperor and the future queen are with each other, no one dares to object.But some people are inevitably jealous.

Zhou Qiang was worried and heard someone stabbing her.

Concubine Zhen, you are the best among our concubines. But recently, Mrs. Yun entered the palace. Why didn’t you dare to show your head when you saw a cat with the mouse?

There was a bit of contempt in his words.

Zhou Qiang looked sideways, and the beautiful concubine Shu glanced at her sideways.

In front of Yun Wanyin, Shufei provoked Yun Wanyin to target her.At this moment, Xiao Du and Yun Wanyin were in harmony with each other, and Shufei wanted to use her as a gun to face Yun Wanyin.

Zhou Qiang hated endless plots and fights in his heart, and said softly: It's cold, the concubine is weak, and she has been recuperating recently, and Concubine Shu has been worried.

Oops hey.Geng promised to contact, the genius believed that Concubine Zhen was the one who received the most favors from His Majesty. I am afraid that the entire palace of Taiyechi was overturned!Why are you weak and sick? According to your concubine, you are angry and sick?

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Qiang provocatively.

This palace has learned "Female Virtue" and "Female Commandments" very well, and Geng promised not to guess the palace with his own heart.

Zhou Qiang took the airs of a high-ranking concubine and glanced at her indifferently. Her palace was unable to get pregnant and posed no threat to the queen.But I agreed, with a beautiful and beautiful appearance, I look good at giving birth and love to show off, so I am careful to become a thorn in the queen's side.

Geng agreed to speak silly.

Zhou Qiang's words make sense.A concubine who cannot give birth to a concubine, no matter how favored she is, she can only live a life based on the faces of the emperor and the queen.When I get old and lose my beauty, I still don’t know what the miserable old days look like.

Only those who can give birth will the queen be more careful.

The sleeves that Shufei Lalagen agreed to, OK, let’s take a good look at the fireworks, it’s rare to come out once.

In fact, it is not considered leaving the palace. I only look at the lights in the capital from the towering city tower and the crowds are surging.

When I was a wife, being a concubine became a surprise luxury.

Zhou Qiang looked at the happy faces around him and the matching figures in front of Zhu Lan. Although everything was familiar, he felt so strange that he was cold at this moment.

Xiaotao, I feel uncomfortable. Please ask, is there any place here to give you a rest?Zhou Qiang covered his mouth and coughed twice, instructing Xiaotao.

Xiaotao asked the guard and took Zhou Qiang to a nearby side room where guests were served.

Before Zhou Qiang had been resting in the room, a thick smoke floated out of it. The palace man shouted in a hurry, "It's gone, it's gone."

Zhou Qiang took Xiaotao out, and the gorgeous colorful lanterns and vermilion ribbons were swallowed by flames one by one in the corridor.

She got separated from Xiaotao in the chaotic crowd and ran down the stairs, just about to look for it.A masked man in black jumped out, grabbed her sleeve, and dragged her into a dark room.
