The emperor waved his hand and said, "Everyone, stand up."
As he spoke, he had already sat down next to the Queen. The Queen smiled at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it is better to come at the right time than to come early. The new sisters who entered the palace have just been selected, and Your Majesty just happened to take a look."
As she took out the list, the queen continued with a smile, "It's just right for the emperor to choose who will sleep with him."
The emperor glanced at the queen, coughed twice, and looked at the other concubines: "Are you all free?"
OK! This is to drive me away, so I can leave. The concubine stood up and snorted, "I will take my leave."
The others had no choice but to stand up, take their leave and leave.
The emperor then smiled and put the list on the table beside him: "How do you want me to cooperate with you?"
The Queen glanced at the Emperor and said, "The Emperor seems very happy. Is it because there are more sisters in the palace? No matter what, new people entering the palace must meet the Emperor. How about this, we hold a banquet and let the Emperor choose for himself?"
The emperor could sense that the queen was not in a good mood. Indeed, if she really cared about the person she loved, how could she tolerate the person she loved having women brought in one after another
He hugged the queen in his arms and said, "I know that the queen is not feeling well. Don't worry, you are the most important person in my heart. As for other women, you can just treat them as fun. As for now, I will do whatever you want me to do."
The Queen was indeed pleased with the Emperor's coaxing, and a smile appeared on her face: "Well, in that case, Your Majesty should be blessed these days. Of course, if you like someone, you have to tell me, and I will arrange it."
In fact, the emperor does not care much about women. He respects and loves the queen very much. The two have experienced a lot since childhood. When they are together, how could the emperor make her sad because of another woman!
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Whenever I take a fancy to a girl, I will definitely tell you."
The Queen nodded. She was not upset by the Emperor's answer, and she admired his honesty: "Then I will arrange a banquet and let all these people show up."
Opportunities to show up have to be arranged for people. After the emperor had dinner with the queen, he left.
As soon as the emperor left, Concubine Chen and others came running over: "Your Majesty, the emperor has left? Did the emperor agree to the banquet?"
The Queen nodded and said, "The Emperor has agreed to hold a small family banquet, and we will all attend. Well, the performers will be the new concubines who have entered the palace. You can choose the candidates yourself, and you can decide what to perform."
At this point, the Queen thought for a moment and said, "I will not participate. Let your people compete among yourselves. The winner can ask for a prize. Let's discuss what the prize is."
What is the prize? Concubine Chen smiled and said, "As for the prize, let's just do one thing. If I win, I will designate the last person to do something for me. How about that?"
They were bored, so they came to make a bet. It was just right that the queen didn't participate. After all, even if the queen was really the last one, they wouldn't dare to let the queen do anything.
Besides, if the Queen is participating, then the first place must go to the Queen. The Queen looked at the other concubines, and they all nodded, indicating that there was no problem: "Okay, then this matter is settled."
The matter was settled, and all the concubines returned to their own palaces. Concubine Chen looked at the palace maid beside her and said, "Go, call the few people I left behind to come here. I have something to say."
In Chuxiu Palace, Gong Shanshan was holding her stomach and lamenting, "Why can't I eat enough after entering the palace? The food is limited, and I can't eat enough. What should I do?"
Now Wan Xiangxiang has also gone home, so even if she wants to find someone to go to the imperial kitchen to eat secretly, it is impossible. Because after the last incident, there are more guards in the imperial kitchen.
When she thought of this, Gong Shanshan became even more speechless, and looked at Tong Yue beside her with a tearful face. Tong Yue was her new friend, and also someone that Concubine Chen had left behind.
Tong Yue looked at Gong Shanshan helplessly, "Can't you just be patient? In fact, that amount is enough."
Is there enough food? Gong Shanshan was listless and didn't talk. At this time, the maid next to the Empress Chen came over and said, "Miss Gong, Miss Tong, Miss Qi, the Empress Chen has something to ask you. Miss Zhang and Miss Wei are already waiting at the door."
Gong Shanshan and Tong Yue looked at each other and stood up immediately: "Okay, shall we set off now?"
The maid nodded: "Come with me."
The two followed him out and found that everyone in the room had come out. It seemed that this incident was not a small matter, as so many people had come out.
"Sister, what does the Empress Chen want us to do this time?"
Gong Shanshan tried to get close to her, but Zhang Miaoer rolled her eyes at her and looked down on her. Calling everyone "sister" was really a loss of status.
It's a pity that Gong Shanshan ignored it! The maid was very pleased with Gong Shanshan's attitude: "Don't worry, it's actually related to you. After you go there, the queen will tell you. In short, it's a good thing."
When she heard that it was a good thing, the first thing Gong Shanshan thought about was being able to eat her fill. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I can eat my fill, that's great."
Zhang Miaoer couldn't help herself when she heard this: "The Empress Chen is really like this. She accepts everyone and only thinks about eating all day long."
Gong Shanshan was dissatisfied with this and glared at Zhang Miaoer: "Sister Zhang, what you said is true. Life is only a few decades long and eating, drinking and having fun are of course the most important things. Of course, some people are different. Their greatest pleasure is to play tricks."
After saying that, he snorted and walked forward arrogantly. Tong Yue looked at Gong Shanshan helplessly: "Shanshan, don't be so direct in the future, okay? It's easy to offend people."
Gong Shanshan still snorted unconvincedly: "If I offend someone, I offend them. What can they do to me?"
Tong Yue was instantly speechless after hearing this. Forget it, they were not in the same world at all, and it was useless to say anything.
When the palace maid saw this, she just smiled and said nothing. After all, as a palace maid serving her master, she knew a little about her master's preferences.
Among these five people, Wei Yuanyi only accepted them because she was not satisfied with them, and she would never entrust them with important tasks. The only one who might be pleasing to her and find interesting is Gong Shanshan.
Soon the five people were brought to the palace of the Concubine Chen, who was sitting in the hall, eating snacks. The palace maid brought the five people in.
"Greetings to Her Majesty, may Her Majesty be blessed."
The Concubine Chen put down the cake in her hand, smiled and said, "Well, everyone, get up. Do you know why I asked you to come here?"
Several people shook their heads: "I don't know."
Gong Shanshan immediately spoke up: "Empress Chen, can you let me taste your cakes? They look delicious."
Zhang Miaoer looked like she was enjoying the show. With the temperament of the Concubine Chen, how could she possibly give her own snacks to Gong Shanshan? She was simply dreaming.
The Empress Chenfei smiled and said, "You really have a delicious mouth. Take it."
Gong Shanshan immediately thanked her: "Thank you, Madam. It's not that I don't like the food, it's the food in Chuxiu Palace. I can't eat enough. Madam, please be a good person and ask them to prepare more for me. Otherwise, I will become thinner and my face will not be as round as before, which will not be good-looking."
The Concubine looked at Gong Shanshan's round face. She had to admit that this cute little girl with a round face was quite likable. "Okay, just tell Nanny Qin when the time comes. I'll prepare two servings of food for you. Is that enough?"
Two servings? That would be enough to fill me up. Gong Shanshan nodded: "Thank you, Madam. By the way, Madam, what is the matter that you asked us to come here?"
I almost forgot to talk about the main business. Gong Shanshan didn't notice that the other four people, except Tong Yue, could hardly hide the jealousy in their eyes.
Of course Gong Shanshan didn't notice it, but Chen Fei saw it clearly. She glared at the other three people, as a warning: "I called you here this time. This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either."
"You are all newcomers to the palace, just a concubine of Chuxiu Palace. It is very difficult for you to see the emperor. But the queen is kind and has thought of hosting a family banquet. If there is any performance at that time, it will be performed by you, the new concubines."
So that's how it is. If you perform well, won't you be able to win the emperor's favor on the spot? The emperor is in his prime and handsome. The girl's heart was pounding. She was very nervous when she thought about attracting the emperor's attention.
Gong Shanshan frowned. No, her purpose in entering the palace was just to eat and drink. If she was noticed by the emperor, wouldn't she be forced to fight in the palace? Then how could she have a good life
"My lady, can you not perform?"
The Concubine Chen smiled and pulled the corner of her mouth: "Originally, if you don't want to perform, you won't be forced. What a pity! The other concubines are not good people. They proposed a bet. It's your performance program. If someone takes the last place, the last place must listen to the first place and do something for her. So do you think it's okay not to participate?"
Haha! Of course not. And they have to take first place. If they lose, will the Empress Chen be so angry that she will beat them to death
Gong Shanshan also smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will work hard and will never be the last one."
