The web started to dance, Baidu or Good Search "Purple Pavilion" This underground competition has not been commented on as to who won or lost, even though everyone in their hearts already had a comparison result, but no one said it out loud.
And then it was all over and done with.
"Since you are the emissary representing Siam, I will instruct people to treat you with courtesy and take you on a tour of the city's customs. If you have any requests, feel free to make them. Your father, the king, has written a letter specifically asking me to take good care of you."
The Ninth Princess was quite indignant in her heart after the previous confrontation, but she wouldn't show it. Upon hearing this, she stood up and bowed "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
The dinner party had almost come to an end, but the Ninth Princess still hadn't mentioned her original purpose that everyone had assumed, as if nothing was amiss.
The ninth princess didn't mention others, so naturally no one else would bring it up either.
The banquet for the Siamese envoys thus ended in a most harmonious atmosphere.
Su Jing returned to Guan Yu Palace, feeling somewhat tired. Even though she hadn't done anything, she was always on edge, not daring to relax in the slightest, and her mind was constantly exhausted.
Let Ting Yao help her massage and turn her head to face Dai Man "The palace will be normal after Ben Gong leaves the Guan Yu Palace"
Dai Man looked puzzled but still replied "It's normal, I haven't found anything unusual. Is there something wrong, Your Highness?"
"The Empress shook her head 'I don't know either but just said it casually don't take it to heart'"
She originally thought that tonight was a great opportunity for him to grasp, but now it seems that she was wrong again.
Or maybe that person never really wanted to hurt her from the start and his true intention was only for the child in Empress Shu's belly.
Yu Su Jing's visit was just an afterthought anyway
Su Jing felt a bit frustrated, even though she thought her brain was quite clever, but many questions still couldn't be understood. "In the future when I'm not around, you must take good care of Guan Palace. If there's anything you can't make up your mind about, go find Xiaomu."
Zong Zhengjin gave her so many palace maids, but actually there were still many uses for Qinghuan and Qingrou. The two of them accompanied her every day, 24 hours a day. Qingmeng and Songmao focused on preparing her food, while Xiaomao seemed like a commander.
With age comes a wealth of experience. She has become calm and composed in the face of events, and is now a tranquil person. This is the result of her long-term observation and can be relied upon.
"It is understood by the slave"
"Go and summon Xiaofuzi for me." Su Jingyan waved her hand, indicating that Tingyao didn't need to continue massaging, and sat up straight.
"Yes", Dai Man replied and then turned around and left.
"Little Fu has come to pay his respects to Your Ladyship."
"How's the task I entrusted you with going?" Su Jing asked, rubbing her brow.
Xiao Fu nodded "The arrangements for returning to the palace have been made"
Su Jing let out a soft laugh "You are getting more and more into this palace's heart"
Previously, rumors had circulated in the palace that she wanted to harm Shu Gui Fei's unborn child and frame her for the crime of harming the imperial heir, so she had no choice but to use some extreme measures.
Since someone has said that, let's add fuel to the fire and make them speak even more fiercely, secretly helping that person gain momentum "helping" her take action, making it easier for her to start planning her next step.
But it's been several days until tonight, and there is still no movement. Su Jing couldn't help but wonder if that person really wanted to take action against her.
Or perhaps it's just not the right time yet
There is a faint sense of unease in her heart, always feeling that she has missed something important. Her intuition tells her that the decision she made now is not the most suitable, nor is it the best one.
"I dare not, Your Ladyship, I am afraid of being beaten by you." Little Fu Zi knelt on the ground with his head bowed.
Su Jing let out a sigh and threw away the messy thoughts in her mind. "Let's just leave it like this for now, there's no need to do anything else. You can go out first."
She needs to think carefully
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't you get some rest?" Yao heard from beside her.
Su Jing glanced at the sky outside and said, "Wait a little longer. I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and see if there's anything to eat. Bring some over for me."
Yes
It's true that today at the banquet, Shu Gui Fei even though she didn't drink tea but instead specially changed to clear water like Su Jing Hua, however she didn't instruct anyone to carefully examine the food on the table and directly used it. Although the amount wasn't a lot, with her temperament having become pregnant how could she be so careless?
Moreover, even if I were to love that man again, as a mother, I would never joke about my child's life. And yet, in this imperial harem where children are more numerous than the heavens, dancing is always accompanied by unexpectedness, and carelessness can lead to two lives lost at once.
At least if Su Jing were given a choice, she would absolutely not be like Shu Guifei.
Or it can be said that Su Jing mistakenly judged the person, Shu Gui Fei was originally a poisonous woman with a vicious heart and no distinction between flesh and bone.
There is also something strange about Zong Zhengjin's behavior. After the imperial physician diagnosed that Shu Guifei was pregnant, he only ordered people to send over the usual rewards and did not grant any nourishing tonics. Although Shu Guifei is older than her, she has had two miscarriages after all. Now that she is pregnant again, it would be more appropriate to cherish her even more.
But he didn't do so after all
Or maybe he didn't expect that child
Even Qie Jingyu realized this problem and ignored the child in her belly, letting nature take its course. That's why she revealed the news at the initial diagnosis, which led to the jealousy and resentment of the concubines in the harem. Now, it is not worth paying much attention to.
Su Jing believed that if Qiao Jingyu really wanted this child, she would be able to hide it for three months or even longer with her abilities, but she just didn't have such intentions.
Isn't it that neither of these two people wants this child?
Or maybe this child shouldn't have existed in the first place
Su Jing was lost in thought when Yao came in from outside and placed the bird's nest in front of her. "Your Majesty, just now Su Gonggong sent someone to say that the Emperor will not be coming tonight."
Su Jing nodded slightly, but didn't take the matter to heart. She picked up her porcelain bowl and took a few sips before putting it down. Just as she was about to get up, she caught a glimpse of Ting Yao's hesitant expression out of the corner of her eye.
Some people are puzzled "what's wrong"
Xiang Ya dared not conceal "The Emperor just went to Chonghua Palace"
Su Jing nodded slightly and hooked up the corner of her mouth "I understand, attend to me first and help me with my hair"
Tonight, Shu Gui Fei has paid so much effort, if he doesn't go to see how it will be worth the little stir in his heart.
Actually, Su Jing should have thought of it earlier. He didn't just have her as the only woman, on the contrary, he had many women and lacked none. All she could do was try to stand out among these many women and be the most special one for him.
The one he holds in his heart
But the road is long and distant, she still needs to work harder
But after all, there is still a long way to go
She seemed to have taken it lightly and didn't appear as downcast as I had imagined. Although I felt a little relieved, I was more worried and didn't dare delay, so I quickly helped her towards the bathroom.
Zong Zhengjin has indeed come to the Imperial Palace of China. He should have come a long time ago.
She dismissed the palace staff and walked in alone, passing by the corner of the corridor. At a glance, she saw her sitting on the couch with her back to the window. Her skirt had been changed long ago, but Zong Zhengjin seemed to see that white shadow-like desolation and loneliness from this magnificent palace dress.
"It's hard to put into words, but I said out loud, 'It's windy at night, you should take care of yourself'"
Qiao Jingyu quickly regained her composure and rose from the couch to pay respects "Your subject wife pays homage to Your Majesty"
"No need for formalities, let's get started." Zong Zhengjin didn't head to the beautiful bed but instead chose to sit on the red wooden chair beside it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Qiao Jingyu slowly raised a smile and said.
Zong Zhengjin stared at her for several moments, his gaze sweeping across her abdomen before saying in a low voice, "You've worked hard tonight. To be honest, I've never seen you dance before. Tonight was the first time."
Everyone says that Qiao Jingyu is a master of all things, from music to chess to painting and dancing. She's even been called a heavenly being for her dance moves. But despite this, she has never shown off her dancing skills in front of him since entering the palace. The most he's ever heard from her is the sound of the guqin.
Qiao Jingyu's face revealed a faint, gentle smile as she said, "Yes, tonight is also my first time dancing in front of so many people. It feels like I've returned to that moment from back then."
It's really nostalgic
Unfortunately, it's all gone now and can't be turned back
Zong Zhengjin easily read her mind from her eyes, but didn't say anything and changed the subject instead. "What you wanted, I've done so far."
Qiao Jing nodded "Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty"
"Do you have to be like this?" Zong Zhengjin frowned in displeasure
Qiao Jingyu stood up and bowed "asking Your Majesty to pardon her crime"
"Hmph" Zong Zhengjin coldly snorted "You don't have to be so cautious, it's not like the Qiao family only has you"
He was really curious how someone like Mrs. Qiao could teach such a clever and transparent daughter. So many concubines were selected into the palace, not one of them wasn't for the sake of gaining honor and wealth for themselves and their families, but as time passed, it's inevitable to be blinded by greed and forget one's original intention.
In the end, they all became ruthless and vicious, leaving them with a fate of nothing but a cold palace to accompany their bones.
The woman in front of him had been seeking the lives of the entire Qiao family from start to finish, and as for other things, it was rare to be carefree and willing to give up.
