Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Cheng Yujin nodded, the emperor gave a banquet tonight to celebrate the prince's marriage. The banquet was very large in scale. Officials of the previous dynasty and above were all invited to the list. The harem was also headed by Empress Yang and entertained women from inside and outside. The two banquets in the harem of the former dynasty were held at the same time, and it was announced to the whole world that the crown prince was successfully married, and the whole world celebrated together. It was also Cheng Yujin's first public appearance as a crown princess. It is said to be a dinner party, but none of the people who go to the banquet go there with the intention of eating. It is enough to pick two bites with chopsticks and pretend, no one will take it seriously. As the crown princess, Cheng Yujin, the protagonist of this banquet, is probably even more so.

This is also a ridiculous thing. The nobles spend half of their time hosting banquets, but when it comes to banquets, no one will really eat. Before going out, the female relatives will pad their stomachs at home, so as not to be ugly when they go out.

Cheng Yujin stirred the porridge slowly with a spoon, and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know the ladies in the palace yet. How much do your Royal Highnesses know, can you tell me?"

Li Chengjing left for too long, in fact, it was no longer than Cheng Yujin's stay in the palace. But he was born in the palace after all. Speaking of the deep and shallow waters of the palace, he knows more than Cheng Yujin.

He simply said that the people in the concubine in the harem today are lower than the fourth concubines, and they have no chance to talk to Cheng Yujin, whether they know each other or not.

Cheng Yujin nodded as she listened, and wrote down the names of the important people. Among them, there was an acquaintance who was Concubine Xu Shu.

Concubine Xu Shu was the eldest girl of the Duke of Chang's mansion, the eldest sister of Xu Zhixian and Xu Nianchūn. Previously, because the Xu family had a palace concubine, Cheng Min's marriage to the Duke of Changguo was a proper high marriage. The people of the Duke of Chang's mansion said that the concubine Shu and the concubine in the mansion were all honored, so the Cheng family showed their affection to the Xu family in every possible way, and they looked forward to being able to share the glory of the concubine in the palace.

Cheng Yujin grew up listening to the deeds of the concubine of the Xu family, the concubine Shu, but she didn't expect that the first time they met was at her wedding banquet.

Human encounters are truly indescribable.

This is indeed the case. After the palace banquet, Concubine Xu Shu looked around as soon as she entered the venue. After seeing Cheng Yujin entering the venue, she raised a glass to Cheng Yujin across the distance. Cheng Yujin also raised her glass and smiled when she saw it.

The concubines on both sides had mixed feelings when they met. With Empress Yang here, none of these palace concubines would want to be favored, and it would be even more wishful thinking to give birth to a prince and a daughter. It is precisely because of this that the concubines and concubines in the harem did not have serious struggles.

Other concubines either rely on seniority or family background, only Concubine Xu Shu, who is neither superior nor inferior, neither favored nor capable father and brother, but because of Changguo Gongfu, she has been sealed a concubine, and her position in the harem is very embarrassing. . Among the four concubines, Concubine Xu Shu was the last.

But today, the new crown princess appeared for the first time, giving Concubine Shu the only face among many concubines. Concubine Shu was so proud all night that she even drank several more glasses of wine. When the other three concubines saw it, they were very disdainful, but they were helpless.

Who made the family and the princess' family have a relationship, they are popular, and some people are envious. What does it have to do with how the second prince and the prince fight? The fate of these concubines has been determined. They will not be able to give birth to a princess and prince, and they will have nothing to fall back on for the rest of their lives. lifetime. Therefore, whether the final winner is the Yang family or the prince, it makes no difference to them.

Perhaps, they are also looking forward to the prince to win more. Because Empress Zhong is gone, the crown prince will ascend the throne in the future, and the position of the empress dowager will be vacant. Maybe these concubines do not need to move out of the palace gate, and they can still enjoy half their lives in the palace. Otherwise, hehe, the fate of those concubines and concubines of the Renzong Dynasty, that is, the old opponents of the Empress Dowager Yang, is a lesson for them.

Anyway, there is nothing to rely on in the future, so I am not afraid of taking risks. It is definitely a worthwhile business to please the crown prince and the crown princess. If you lose, it will not be worse than the original. If you win, it will be a waste of half your life. No wonder Concubine Shu is so happy tonight.

The other concubines were sour and jealous, and their eyes changed when they looked at Concubine Shu.

Concubine Xu Shu did not expect today. She entered the palace early, and didn't see Cheng Yujin very much. She just heard from her family that there was a niece in the second-room aunt's family, and she was very good. In order to please Concubine Shu, the servants would even describe this girl as "like a concubine". After hearing this, Concubine Xu Shu was curious, but she didn't pay much attention to it. To her, this is just a promising junior. In the future, maybe she will ask her sister to bring Cheng Yujin over to show her, but she will not send someone to talk about it.

Who would have known that when the two met for the first time, they became Concubine Shu and had to be careful with Cheng Yujin. One is the new crown princess. Although her family is not promising, she has a crown prince behind her, so what other backers do she need. As for Concubine Xu Shu, she was just an ordinary palace concubine with nothing to rely on. The status and future of the two are not the same.

Concubine Xu Shu sighed in her heart. Originally, it was the Cheng family who took care of the Xu family, but in a blink of an eye, the positions of the two families were reversed. The Cheng family will soon prosper. Now Concubine Xu Shu only hopes that her mother's family will do her best to establish a good relationship with the Cheng family first, but don't waste the second room, Cheng Min, on such a good way.

Today's palace banquet is very grand, perhaps because there is little fresh blood in the palace, and there are endless people coming to toast Cheng Yujin at the banquet. Later, Cheng Yujin hurriedly asked Du Ruo and Forsythia to add water to the wine, only to endure round after round of toasting.
