What does it mean that two sisters in the same family have two surnames
These words were so venomous and sharp that Concubine De's face instantly turned ashen and extremely ugly.
The imperial concubine couldn't help it any longer, so she coughed and covered her mouth with a handkerchief to hide the laughter that was about to burst out.
Yunxiu's mouth is really...
They are sisters who have been separated for many years. Every word they say hurts Concubine De's heart and she won't stop until she makes her angry to death.
… I’m afraid Wu Ya can’t swallow this.
The imperial concubine guessed correctly. No matter how good-tempered Concubine De was, she was trembling with anger. The look she shot at Yun Xiu was like a sharp sword, with a chilling coldness: "What do you mean by this?"
The imperial concubine wanted to speak, but Yunxiu made a gesture to stop her.
"I saw that you were quite interested in Concubine Yuan, so I was just joking with you." Yun Xiu stroked her sleeves calmly and smiled regretfully, "I didn't expect you to react so strongly... I apologize for my inappropriate words."
After saying this, her regret turned into a slight apology. She nodded to Concubine De, then left the Imperial Noble Concubine and her group and walked in first.
De Fei just watched Yun Xiu walk away: "..."
Her body shook, and she gritted her teeth and said in her heart, Concubine Yi!
The Imperial Concubine's smile paused, the corners of her eyes drooped slightly, and even the pleasure of seeing Concubine De being humiliated seemed to diminish a little.
According to the hierarchy, Concubine Yi should give way to her and let her go first, but now, Guo Luoluo ignored her.
presumptuous-
The Imperial Concubine's breathing suddenly became heavy, and Concubine Yuan who was standing beside her sensed it clearly. She lowered her head in fear and trepidation, but secretly couldn't stop mocking her.
The Imperial Noble Consort thought she was in control and everything was under control, but Concubine Yi did not follow the rules and talked and laughed freely, not being angered at all.
Concubine Yuan sneered inwardly, so what if she wore pink
They may look similar at first glance, but anyone can see the difference. She is completely different from Concubine Yi, the most favored concubine in the harem.
The person who is trapped in his own web is Tong Jia.
Seeing the Imperial Concubine's heaving chest, Concubine Yuan's eyes gradually lit up, and she suddenly ignited an unprecedented fighting spirit.
Originally she had given up and was going to live her life peacefully; but unexpectedly a disaster struck and she was dragged into a treacherous struggle and became a pawn of the Imperial Concubine.
She was a transparent person, with no room for resistance, so she could only accept it and let others manipulate her.
But on what basis? !
At home, she was also a noble lady who was pampered by her elders. Why was Tong Jia so arrogant? It was not enough to take away her favor, but she also wanted to make her into someone else's shadow.
What do you think of her? A dog that comes when you call it and goes away when you wave it away
She would rather be a pheasant to set off the phoenix Concubine Yi than be a fake and be controlled by Tonggiya clan!
You do the first day, I do the fifteenth, we'll see...

"Sit next to Noble Nala." The Imperial Concubine instructed Noble Yuan calmly, pointing to a seat quite near the front. "I will always pay attention to your words and actions."
Concubine Yuan bowed with her head lowered, then suddenly remembered something and hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi is pregnant after all, and is favored by the two Empress Dowagers. If I sit in the front, if anything happens, the ancestors will hold you accountable..."
Nanny Zhen glanced at them coldly. How could it be her turn to speak here
"… What you said makes some sense." The Imperial Concubine stared at Concubine Yuan for a long while, then suddenly smiled and said softly, "Then sit in the back and don't let the Emperor see you. Understand?"
Yuan is a surprise weapon. If used well, she can divert Concubine Yi's favor and cause her serious injuries.
But if my cousin met Yuan at the family dinner, he would most likely take his anger out on me out of consideration for Concubine Yi’s face…
This chess piece does have some brains.
Concubine Yuan responded quietly, lowered her head, and left.
Because of her gorgeous wedding dress and familiar manners, more than one concubine noticed Yuan, but because she always had her back to her, she could not see her face clearly.
"Could it be Concubine Yi?" Jingpin asked softly.
"It's not her." Duanpin shook her head and nodded her chin. "The Concubine Yi is on the other side, the one wearing the dark blue clothes."
Jingpin was immediately curious, "Who is that? She is with the Imperial Concubine... Is she the Concubine Yuan who lives in Chengqian Palace?"
While she was guessing, Concubine Yuan had already sat at the end, occupying a table all by herself. There were concubines who had no achievements or pregnancy, as well as maids and maids who had a weak sense of existence. Concubine Jing immediately lost interest.
Concubine Yuan is usually out of favor and is a truly invisible person, not worthy of any attention.
…
Concubine Hesheli sat at the very bottom of the imperial concubines' seats. She looked very young, with a rather immature face, but very dignified.
She kept her eyes on Yun Xiu, and after a moment she lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
After the concubines took their seats, the sound of whips was heard from outside the palace, followed by a long voice: "The Emperor has arrived - the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the princes have arrived -"
Kangxi was dressed in a bright yellow robe with round patterns, and he walked with a majestic aura, like a dragon. He would stop from time to time and say with concern, "Grandfather, please slow down."
The Empress Dowager leaned on a cane in her left hand, supported by the Empress Dowager in her right hand. She walked without any hesitation and kept laughing, "I saved it."
Soon, they came to the seat of honor. Facing the greetings from the whole room, the Empress Dowager slowly sat down, then waved behind her: "Baocheng, come, take care of the Empress Dowager's walking stick..."
The prince responded with a smile, causing the eldest prince behind him to curl his lips, looking somewhat indignant.
Starting with the eldest prince, a series of little kids lined up neatly, wearing festive red clothes, and followed behind the prince.
Except for the seventh prince Yinyou who had unsteady legs and feet, and the eighth prince Yinsi who was not familiar with walking and was held by his wet nurse, the rest of the princes walked steadily, including the sixth prince Yinzuo.
When Concubine De saw Yinzuo, her eyes lit up; Yunxiu was the same, her heart was full of Yinqi.
As soon as Yinqi entered the hall, he looked around, trying to find his mother.
After searching for a long time, Yinqi suddenly met the eyes of Yunxiu who was in a high position. He was stunned, and then shouted in surprise: "Mother!"
As he said this, he took Yinzhen's hand and said, "Come on, Fourth Brother, let's go find Mother."
The word "mother" was spoken in Chinese.
The Fifth Prince's loud and clear baby voice abruptly interrupted the conversation between Kangxi and the Empress Dowager. In an instant, the hall was silent.
Yunxiu was startled and was about to apologize, but Kangxi burst into laughter and nodded at Yinqi, not blaming her at all: "You should go find mother. Grandfather, today is the birthday family dinner, I will give you a favor and let you eat with mother."
Kangxi turned to her and asked, "What do you think?"
After saying that, he cast his gaze towards Yun Xiu, but quickly looked away with a deep smile in his eyes.
The old lady looked at Yinqi lovingly and nodded, "Just listen to the emperor."
Yinqi thanked him loudly and excitedly, then tugged at the sleeve of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.
Yunxiu saw all of Yinqi's little actions and felt relieved, angry and amused at the same time. When did Xiaowu become so close to the Fourth Prince
Could it be because of the prince
Yinzhen glanced at the prince, and after receiving an affirmative look, he suppressed his excitement and walked towards the Imperial Concubine's desk.
Concubine Hui welcomed the eldest and eighth princes with great joy, Concubine Rong took the third prince's hand, and Concubine Dai Jia of Yonghe Palace personally held the seventh prince on her lap.
Concubine De waved to the Sixth Prince with a kind smile. How could she care about the unpleasantness with Yunxiu
Concubine Yuan can be found at any time, Yinzuo is the first priority!
Yinzuo was four years old, cute and fair, but seemed a little naive.
Seeing Yinzhen walking towards the Imperial Noble Consort, Yinzuo suddenly called him: "Fourth brother, you should come with me and sit next to mother..."
There was a hint of grievance in the words, as well as confusion and bewilderment in the child's voice, which made Yinzhen pause and fall silent.
The Imperial Concubine's expression suddenly changed. Concubine De's heart skipped a beat and she wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
Everyone in the hall looked at Yinzuo.
The Qianqing Palace was as quiet as death, completely different from the atmosphere when Yinqi spoke just now.
"Fourth brother hasn't paid his respects to mother for a long time." Yinzuo pursed his lips and continued, "He stays in Chengqian Palace all day and doesn't even play with me..."
The concubines looked at each other in bewilderment.
What the Sixth Prince said... is he accusing the Fourth Prince of clinging to his adoptive mother all day long and ignoring his biological mother
"Yinzuo! What nonsense are you talking about?" Defei shouted, then she knelt on the ground with a pale face and a bulging belly: "Children speak without restraint, please forgive me, Your Majesty. It's all my fault!"
Yinzuo was at a loss for what to do for a moment.
Even more at a loss than him was Yinzhen.
He could no longer move and stood there alone, pursing his lips and slowly lowering his head.
Yinqi nervously grabbed Yunxiu's clothes, his chubby face full of worry; the prince was immediately anxious, how could a good family dinner turn out like this? !
It's a mess. Everything is a mess.
He gritted his teeth and was about to stand up to rescue her when the imperial concubine suddenly choked and burst into tears.
"I have worked hard to raise Yinzhen, and I am afraid that I have not taken good care of him." She choked and fell to the ground, "... Please let the emperor, the ancestors and the queen mother make the decision!"
