Chapter 215 216: What else can Meng Jiuchang say, take it!
Xiangxue shook her head, "Your servant did not hear Mr. Zhang say this."
Song Yunzhao reckoned that the matter had not been settled yet, but with the emperor's temperament, this reception banquet must be indispensable, but the empress dowager's doing so would definitely make the emperor uncomfortable.
It is estimated that it was caused by the palace servants who killed her. The queen mother expressed her dissatisfaction with the emperor.
Song Yunzhao felt that the queen mother still didn't put her position in the right place. She was trying to intimidate her son with the posture of a mother, and she didn't think about how much mother-child affection there was between them.
However, it is precisely because it is her own that the queen mother dares to make such a fuss.
Just like what happened to An Shutong, if she were another lady, she wouldn't have the face to appear in the palace again after what happened last time, but since the queen mother is there, it would not be a problem.
Thinking of this, Yun Zhao thinks of the eldest lady. Although she is now a favorite concubine and still has the emperor's first child in her stomach, the current position of the Song family in the capital is still very embarrassing.
Why?
Because the Song family has no high-ranking officials to sit in the court, it means that her foundation is shallow, and she only relies on the emperor's favor to establish herself. When she falls out of favor one day, she will be slaughtered like duckweed in the water.
Song Yunzhao sighed, why do people in the palace want to engage in palace fights, and courtiers in the court want to engage in factional disputes? Now she is in the whirlpool and finally understands what it means to be involuntary.
"Master, Concubine Wan is holding a tea banquet tomorrow, and I have sent you a post." Shi Zhu walked in quickly, holding a gilded post in her hand, followed by Le Chun, a court lady next to Concubine Wan.
"My servant pays homage to Song Zhaoyi." Le Chun stepped forward to salute.
Song Yunzhao smiled and said, "Get up, is Concubine Wan okay?"
"Your Majesty feels much more comfortable after coming to the palace, and the imperial doctor checked her pulse yesterday and said that your Majesty is fine." Le Chun replied respectfully.
"This is really good news." Song Yunzhao thought to himself that Concubine Wan's illness is probably a heart disease, and that he can think about it is worse than any panacea.
Le Chun smiled, and said again: "The empress is in good health, the palace where she lives is next to the Hundred Gardens and the scenery is good, so the empress wants to hold a tea banquet, please invite Zhaoyi to drink tea."
Song Yunzhao agreed very readily, "Concubine Wan is invited, so I am happy to attend the banquet."
Le Chun was taken aback, thinking that Song Zhaoyi would refuse, but he did not expect to agree so readily, he was slightly relieved, and smiled: "Our mother must be very happy to know, and I will also invite the accompanying wives and ladies to the banquet, and Zhaoyi will definitely have fun."
After Le Chun left, Song Yunzhao thought that Concubine Wan had always been a person who didn't like to hold banquets to show off. This kind of talented woman always had a high opinion of herself, and now she was about to descend to the mundane world.
Gong Dou's food is not easy to mess with.
Without Yun Zhao’s special instructions, Shi Zhu went out to inquire, and soon came back and said: "The concubine Wan has invited almost all the people, and the masters known by the slaves have agreed to attend the banquet."
Song Yunzhao was not surprised, and Nanny Yu who was next to her said, "Concubine Wan can't sit still anymore. The master is pregnant, and the empress dowager brought Miss An by her side, and Concubine Zhuang, Qin Wanyi and others are staring at her. If there is no further action, the title of Concubine Wan will be worthless."
Song Yunzhao was suddenly amused by Nanny Yu, Xiangxue and the others also smiled.
Shi Zhu said: "Mommy, do you think that Concubine Wan has invited Your Majesty?"
Nurse Yu thought about it seriously, "I will probably invite you, but it's hard to say whether the emperor will come."
Song Yunzhao thought that Feng Yi would definitely not go, who would let her be a demon concubine in this palace.
Turning his eyes, Song Yunzhao said to Shi Zhu: "You go to Director Zhang and tell him that I will attend the tea banquet of Concubine Wan tomorrow, and ask him to report to the emperor, so that if the emperor comes tomorrow, I will be rude."
Shi Zhu responded with a crisp voice and walked out, but Xiangxue was thoughtful, then pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word.
This is a message to the emperor.
Song Yunzhao saw Xiangxue smiling happily, and said to her, "Pick out some beautiful clothes, so that we can go to the banquet tomorrow."
"Just before leaving the palace, there is a new dress from the Shangyi Bureau, and you haven't worn it yet. You must like the long dress of the concubine red sprinkled with gold." Xiangxue laughed.
Nurse Yu added from the side, "The set of pink pearl jewelry that the emperor rewarded you last time is just right for you to wear."
Song Yunzhao glanced at the two of them. She really didn't think that her favorite concubine's reputation was not good enough. She originally wanted to go to town, so she naturally followed the hearts of the people.
If Concubine Wan dared to invite her, she would naturally dare to go.
Based on her friendship with Concubine Wan, she would not believe that she had good intentions.
Staying bored in the palace, after dealing with trivial matters, she went outside to enjoy the cool air in the gazebo.
Xiangxue wanted to prepare clothes, so she called Yulu out to follow.
Yun Zhao took Yulu to the gazebo, saw the beautiful scenery by the lake, and simply walked slowly along the lake, walking under the shade of the trees was also very pleasant.
Not far away, she saw Lu Zhixue leading a group of people playing in the water by the lake from a distance, and there was a boat waiting beside her. She watched and walked over.
On the other side, Feng Yi had just put down the notebooks in his hand, and he had no leisure this morning. He said that he was here to escape the summer heat, and that he, the emperor, still wanted to be in charge.
Zhang Maoquan came in to answer at this time, Feng Yi was taken aback when he heard it, Yun Zhao never liked to go to any banquets, but this time he went to Concubine Wan's tea banquet, and specifically told himself...
Thinking of this, Feng Yi looked at Meng Jiuchang, "Is there someone from Concubine Wan?"
Meng Jiuchang:...
You said it was not a coincidence, the emperor was busy when Concubine Wan delivered the message, and he hadn't had time to report yet, but Zhang Maoquan took the lead again, which seemed to be his negligence.
"If you go back to the emperor, the steward next to Concubine Wan did say back and forth, saying that Concubine Wan wanted to come to greet the emperor." Meng Jiuchang immediately replied.
It is false to ask for peace, but it is true to invite the emperor to a banquet.
Feng Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was happy after a while.
Zhaozhao put all this little thought on him, and this is to tell him that he can't agree.
Thinking of this, Feng Yi looked at Meng Jiuchang, "You just said that I am busy with official duties, so I don't need Concubine Wan to pay my respects."
"yes."
What else can Meng Jiuchang say, take it!
Look at Song Zhaoyi, this trick was done beautifully, without showing his face, the job was done.
He looked at Zhang Maoquan who was running errands for Song Zhaoyi, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. This kid is really lucky.
Zhang Maoquan couldn't see Meng Jiuchang's brow and eye lawsuit, but he pretended not to see it, watching the emperor bend down and retreat without any other orders. It's better than anything else.
Concubine Wan's face was fluctuating when she heard Meng Jiuchang's words, and Nanny Sun persuaded after seeing Meng Jiuchang's words, "Your Majesty, the emperor has been busy since he arrived in the palace, and Song Zhaoyi can't easily see the holy driver. Besides, it's a tea banquet today, not a formal palace banquet. It's okay if the emperor doesn't come."
The second update is over, my little cuties.
