The next morning, Gu Xizhao received a message from Doctor Zhang, knowing that the various spices in the sachet were not only unfavorable to the fetus in the belly, but also made the woman unable to conceive the child after being smelled for a long time.

If the concubines in the palace had such a vicious thought, Gu Xizhao wouldn't care so much, but the woman was jealous and couldn't stand her well.

However, this princess with a subtle identity had such a stingy mind, which was not as simple as targeting her.

As for the princess who married a prince of a different surname and became a concubine, Gu Xizhao thought about the past and afterwards and understood what was going on.

However, based on her understanding of this princess, Princess Mingshao must have no courage to usurp the throne based on their orphans and widows. As for who is behind her, she could not guess except for knowing that the Jiang family was involved.

But the Jiang family is enough to make people frightened. Who would have thought that the previous dynasty that had been destroyed for so many years was still in peace? Not only that, these gangsters actually penetrated into the court quietly.

The more Gu Xizhao thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. After thinking about it, she decided to put the sachet aside for the time being. Now that the power behind Princess Mingshao has not been found out, Princess Mingshao cannot move. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of this fake pregnancy first.

If the pregnancy continues, it will be extremely unfavorable for her.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Xizhao finally set the time for the New Year’s Eve reunion dinner.

In order to show the new emperor's importance to the late emperor and his concubines, on New Year's Eve, Zhao Sansi not only asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give some rewards to the palaces in her personal name, but also asked the imperial kitchen to arrange some things. When the sky was about to dark, he invited these concubines to Mingxinglou and had a reunion dinner together.

New Year's Eve is the most grand festival of the year. On such a festive festival, anyone who is more decent will pick up good things and no one will go to the point of being ill.

Therefore, when these concubines attended the banquet, they all dressed up and waited happily in the hall, waiting for Zhao Sansi to come.

After about a quarter of an hour, the eunuch sang loudly from the outer hall. The concubines who had just whispered to each other in private suddenly became solemn. With the help of the palace maids around them, they stood up and came out to greet each other.

I thought that when they got up and knelt down and bowed, the little emperor should have walked in, but I didn't expect that after a long time they knelt down, they still couldn't see anyone coming in.

An impatient person like Concubine Yu couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't help but look up at the door. He didn't see anyone coming. His face suddenly sank and scolded the palace maid who was serving in the hall, "Go and see, which ignorant slave is joking with me?"

The palace maid looked embarrassed and didn't say anything.

Concubine Yu was even more angry, "What? I can't even use a slut like you?"

"I dare not."

Seeing that she still couldn't get up, Concubine Yu walked over and pinched her, "Okay, you little hoof, I don't believe it. I can't help you today..."

Before Zhao Jin died, Concubine Yu had a few people who flattered her in the palace. However, last time there was a disagreement over the fact that the four Concubines were in charge of the harem, and finally the power of the Six Palaces fell into Princess Mingshao. After she had a big fight with the other three Concubines, she has now become a person who everyone avoids in the harem.

Although these concubines now saw that it was a bit inappropriate for her tomb and a palace maid to fight in the hall like this, everyone looked at her nose and nose, and no one said to stop her. Even Mrs. An, who had pleased her in the past, looked at the silent sisters around her, and she moved her mouth and closed her mouth.

In the end, Princess Mingshao had to speak out, "Concubine Yu, please stop at the right time."

This good person was not what Princess Mingshao wanted to do. She was so annoyed that Concubine Yu was so stupid, but now she is temporarily in charge of the six palaces, and she has to take care of everything in the harem. Furthermore, Concubine Yu was the name of her cousin. If she didn't act as a good person, she might have others secretly accuse her of her.

After not seeing Zhao Sansi come in for a long time, Concubine Yu is becoming more and more sure that someone is deliberately teasing them. She is already very depressed. Listening to Princess Mingshao's words, a burst of anger instantly sprinkled at her, "Sisters have seen it, we have knelt for half a stick of incense. Look, the emperor is here? I just let this little maid go out and see, and I can't even teach a lesson as the master? The princess's 'stop' is really a fox and a tiger's power, and it's not as powerful as it is."

The dog bites Lu Dongbin and does not recognize the good people's hearts.

Princess Mingshao was so angry that she almost came up when she was sarcastic by Concubine Yu's words that she was sarcastic and almost sarcastic. She gritted her teeth and said, "Concubine Yu taught her slaves a lesson and had to distinguish the occasion."

Concubine Yu pinched the palace maid's arm again, then turned around and picked her chin at Princess Mingshao, "If I don't distinguish between occasions, the princess will take out your identity as the temporary 'Six Palaces Lord' to teach me a lesson?"

Princess Mingshao: "You..."

At the same time, outside the hall, the eunuch responsible for chanting saw the little emperor who had obviously come over but stopped leaving halfway, and was also anxious. He could only look at the pair of people who had arguing in the middle from time to time, praying in his heart that the two masters would not make it difficult for him to do it.

Zhao Sansi, who had no idea how many troubles he had caused, was still competing with Gu Xizhao, "I... I won't praise Miss Lin San."

Gu Xizhao coaxed her for so long and had her patience, "The emperor issued an order to let Miss Lin San stay in the palace for the New Year. Now, you are asking you to praise someone at the banquet, but are you so embarrassed?"

Zhao Sansi was stuttering her neck, and she felt wronged, "Who wants to keep someone in the palace for the New Year? Didn't you say you want me to issue an order?"

Gu Xizhao: "Then the emperor is now blaming me for not asking you to issue an order to do this?"

Zhao Sansi did not nod, but did not shake his head, and still stubbornly stuttered his neck, "Anyway... I just don't praise Miss Lin San..."

Gu Xizhao looked at her stubborn appearance and was angry, but she still shamefully thought she was cute. She couldn't help but slow down her voice again, "Miss Lin San looks gratifying and intelligent, she is a good girl, the emperor..."

Somehow, Zhao Sansi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he interrupted her with his pouting mouth, "Have the imperial concubine been unable to wait to choose a concubine for me before she entered the central palace?"

Gu Xizhao was not careful that she would think so, and paused for a moment before she realized, "I don't have this intention...just..."

Halfway through the words, Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes and kept Lin Wanqing in the palace for the New Year. It was her idea, because this drama was not easy to sing for Lin Wanqing tonight. It was just that she had to do enough to do the show. Yesterday, the little fool personally issued an order to praise Miss Lin San's favor and only allowed her to stay in the palace for the New Year. If she didn't praise anyone tonight, she would probably make people think too much.

However, she did not want the little fool to know these shameful conspiracies and plots in the harem. The little fool had already done a lot of things about the queen, and she should clean up the next thorns by herself.

After a moment of silence, Gu Xizhao re-verb: "What did the emperor promise me before? You are willing to listen to me if you say anything..."

Zhao Sansi stared at her for a moment, with a slightly depressed expression, "I am willing to listen to the imperial concubine in everything except... the matter of the Queen of the End of the Triumphant Selection."

Gu Xizhao felt a little painful, "Today, let the emperor praise the third lady in front of these concubines, it is not..."

Zhao Sansi: "If I look at Miss Lin San in front of these concubines today and praise Miss Lin San a few more words, there will be someone who will spread tomorrow that Miss Lin San is already the one who stepped into my harem with one foot. The truth that people say is terrifying, the imperial concubine should understand better than me. Yes, Miss Lin San is a good girl, so I don't want such rumors to ruin her innocence and cut off her future. I don't want the world to misunderstand that I am a lover who is a mixed-minded person."

Gu Xizhao felt the tip of her nose slightly astringent. She didn't know how to tell the little fool in front of her that Miss Lin San was willing to use it for her, just to be imprisoned in this deep palace.

After a moment of silence, Gu Xizhao closed her eyes, "Since the emperor thinks so, then... I won't force the emperor. Let's go, don't let all the concubines wait for a long time..."

Zhao Sansi didn't take a step forward, and she didn't understand Gu Xizhao's thoughts at this moment. She just looked at Gu Xizhao's expression and couldn't bear it. "I don't know why the imperial concubine insisted that I was special to Miss Lin San, but I trust the imperial concubine. Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask too much. I believe that there is a reason for the imperial concubine. If... if the imperial concubine insists on me saying a few words, it's not impossible..."

Looking at Zhao Sansi's expression of desire to speak but stop, Gu Xizhao held her hand, "Forget it, don't make things difficult for the emperor."

Zhao Sansi still had not moved, "...If the imperial concubine called me Sisi again, then... I would reluctantly say a few words to the third lady."

Gu Xizhao: "…Sisi."

Although the caller was perfunctory, Zhao Sansi deserved to be very serious. After nodding, he grabbed Gu Xizhao's hand with his backhand, then held the person in his face and led the person into the hall.

Li Zhongxian, who was swung back away, looked at the two masters and became more harmonious again. He finally let go of his heart and quickly called the people behind him to follow him.

The eunuch who was guarding the door and sang to remind the people inside had learned intelligence this time. Seeing that the people were about to arrive, he quickly said, "The Emperor is here."

Concubine Yu, who was still arguing with Princess Mingshao in the palace, didn't believe it at all. He heard the voice of the little eunuch and snorted coldly at Concubine Yu: "No palace servant dared to be so arrogant before. The princess was in charge of the six palaces, but she was particularly loyal to the public..."

After Concubine Yu was halfway through his words, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. After a moment, she looked back as if she suddenly realized that she had reacted and hurriedly knelt down at Zhao Sansi, "See... Have you seen..."

"Concubine Yu." Zhao Sansi called out her name and glanced at the palace maid who was secretly wiping her tears aside, "Can you tell me what you are doing?"

After a moment of silence, just as Princess Mingshao was about to speak out, and the big thing turned out to be a big deal, Concubine Ning suddenly spoke, "Go back to the emperor, Concubine Yu is teaching the palace servants a lesson."

Zhao Sansi glanced at Concubine Ning and looked at Concubine Yu again: "There are many opportunities to teach the palace people. Concubine Yu is teaching the palace people a lesson. Who is the lesson to teach?"

Concubine Yu secretly annoyed Concubine Ning talk too much, but she didn't dare to speak rashly at the moment, just knocking on the ground to pretend to be dead.

"I would like to forgive my sins. My sister is also unintentional." Lin Wanqing knelt at the edge of the corner. After no one responded, she wiped her tears and said, "Today's festive day of reunion, the emperor has ruined his mood for these trivial matters. That is our great sin."

Gu Xizhao scratched Zhao Sansi's palm secretly, looked at her, and then smiled and smoothed out. "Concubine Yu has always been impatient, so the emperor must not be bothered with others. Besides, although Concubine Yu has no power to manage the six palaces, she is still the lord of the first palace. The palace servant is about to die, so it is appropriate to teach a lesson."

Zhao Sansi snorted angrily, "Even if Mrs. Gu has pleaded for you, why don't you thank her for your kindness?"

For Concubine Yu, Gu Xizhao's words were not so pleaded for her, but rather as taking the opportunity to mock her. She did not care about this kindness at all.

She didn't want to thank her, but Lin Wanqing hurriedly kowtowed, "Thank you Mrs. Gu for pleading for her sister, and the little girl is very grateful."

Gu Xizhao looked at Concubine Yu's distorted face and hurriedly intercepted Zhao Sansi's words, "Miss Three, don't be polite." After that, she turned to look at Zhao Sansi, "Your Majesty, please calm down, don't make people feel nervous today."

Zhao Sansi curled his lips secretly, then waved his hand, "Okay, get up."

It was not until Zhao Sansi fell down in the main seat and the people kneeling on the ground got up and fell down to the tables on both sides.

After all, it was the last meal of the old year. Zhao Sansi always remembered that this was the first year he had spent with his concubine, and wanted to ask for good luck. When Xiao Liuzi was beside him sang a long list of festive auspicious words, her expression also slowed down. He called everyone to drink. He still remembered what Gu Xizhao had asked her to do just now. After taking a sip of fruit wine, he looked at Lin Wanqing again: "By the way, Miss Lin San is about to be in the hairpin after the New Year is on?"

Lin Wanqing, who was named, stood up in panic and said, "Go back to the emperor, yes."

Zhao Sansi looked at Gu Xizhao secretly, took another sip of fruit wine before saying, "The big girl on the fifteenth is enough to promise me."

Lin Wanqing smiled and blushed slightly, without saying a word.

Concubine Yu looked at her secretly, feeling mixed with pride and loss, but when she thought of her being able to compete with Gu Xizhao, she really hoped that Zhao Sansi would really like this sister who made her dislike.

Zhao Sansi didn't pay attention to the people who were listening to it. He paused and continued: "The third lady is both talented and beautiful, and has a deep affection for the elder sister. He is a rare good girl. When you go to the palace to learn more rules, I will find a good husband for you in person."

The last words were too unexpected. Lin Wanqing was stunned for a while before she hurriedly stepped out and knelt on the ground to thank her.

As they were getting closer, Zhao Sansi looked at her a few times, praised her a few more words before she could get back to her seat and sit down.

After completing the task assigned by her concubine, Zhao Sansi ignored the others. She specially asked Gu Xizhao to sit beside her, whispering to others as if no one was around, and picking up food for others.

Halfway through the reunion dinner, Gu Xizhao pretended to be disgusted and suddenly covered her mouth with a veil. With caring eyes and greetings, she secretly looked at Lin Wanqing, and then drank the tea that Chan'er quickly handed over, "Your Majesty, don't worry, maybe the chicken I just ate is a little oily, it's disgusting, it's okay..."

As she said that, she covered her mouth with a veil and recovered from her consciousness. Then she got up and blessed Zhao Sansi. "Your Majesty eat slowly. I will go to the side palace to rest and come later."

"I'm with you..."

"Emperor." Gu Xizhao quickly pressed Zhao Sansi's shoulder and looked at her, "Does the emperor want all the concubines to laugh at me? I think I am a spoiled man?"

Zhao Sansi looked at her, "I...I'm not relieved."

Gu Xizhao shook her hand, "It's really just a numb, Chan'er is with me."

Princess Mingshao got up after hearing this, "It's better for Mingshao to accompany her wife to rest. After all, I am a mother."

"Princess Xie is kind. You can't leave now. Once you leave, these concubines are afraid that they will feel uncomfortable." Gu Xizhao smiled and went to see Zhao Sansi again. "It's rare to have a reunion dinner together. If the emperor and I have left, it's probably not good."
