Chapter 328: Chrysanthemum Feast
Concubine Zhou said again: "How is the envoy going?"
King Jin said: "This year's envoys are tough and arrogant and unreasonable!"
In fact, the envoys of various countries are usually like this. They send powerful people to serve as missionaries. In order to demonstrate their national prestige, they are also trying to find some trouble. The reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty was forced by various countries this year was because the Great Zhou Dynasty was internal and external troubles, and several countries wanted to get some benefits.
Concubine Zhou said: "What's the point about a bunch of verbal people?"
King Jin said seriously: "This year is really different. They were discussing it. Nanyue took advantage of the fire to rob, the Jin Kingdom was unclear, and the grassland tribe was unreasonable. The son always felt that someone was controlling all this behind the scenes, but he couldn't figure out who had such ability?"
Concubine Zhou was quite troubled and said, "How are you doing with Princess Nanyue? I heard that you have offended the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
King Jin sneered: "Shi Tianyi is an old fox. His eldest daughter married an official of the princeling party, while his second daughter married Zhou Siyi, obviously trying to step on two boats."
Concubine Zhou sneered, "What's so strange about it? He is your father's member. If he openly fights at this time, his prime minister will probably end up being the end. At present, you should still capture the Princess of Nanyue. If you have the support of Nanyue, you will get a lot of help. Those waiting and watching court officials will naturally lean towards you."
The King of Jin nodded.
Concubine Zhou raised her eyebrows: "What? Is there a problem? Didn't you help her deal with Lin Sheng? Didn't she thank you?"
King Jin said: "The minister didn't really do anything about Lin Sheng in that matter, and she didn't appreciate it. And there was something very strange. Prince An went to find her a few days ago, and they went to Chang'an Hou Mansion together. Later, Prince An left angrily. Prince An came out after a long time."
Concubine Zhou thought for a while and said with a smile: "They worked together at the palace banquet. The little girls like handsome men. Wei Congxi looks like his mother..."
Concubine Zhou was angry when she thought of Chen Lanruo. Concubine Zhou was extremely beautiful back then, but no matter how beautiful she was, she could not compare to Chen Lanruo, the number one beauty in Lanjing.
She is beautiful, has a good family background, and is so compatible with Wei Xiao. After marriage, Wei Xiao spoiled her again.
That's not all, her sons are better than the other, and even the princes are compared by Wei Congxi.
Concubine Zhou and Chen Lanruo didn’t have much interaction, but she just hated her.
Later, the Wei family was gone, and Concubine Zhou thought she could breathe a sigh of relief now, but who knew that the emperor had left Wei Congxi behind.
There are many speculations from the outside world, but Concubine Zhou knew the most. The emperor left Wei Congxi because of Chen Lanruo's hard work before his death.
The emperor did not want to break his promise, but he felt uncomfortable when he looked at Wei Congxi and wanted to show his kindness. In various conflicting emotions, he did not kill Wei Congxi.
Concubine Zhou felt that Wei Congxi would be a disaster sooner or later.
The King of Jin had actually wanted to get rid of Wei Congxi, but he never found a chance to start.
When he thought of the palace banquet again, he always felt that the Nanyue Princess and Wei Congxi were not that simple, but Wei Congxi had a bad relationship with Nanyue. As we all know, the Nanyue Princess had never been to Dazhou, so naturally he did not know him.
The King of Jin couldn't figure it out. At this time, he heard Concubine Zhou say, "Let's do this. In a few days, the mother will hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in the palace and invite all the noble ladies. You will also look at each other."
King Jin said: "This kind of banquet has always been held by the queen."
Concubine Zhou sneered: "The queen's mother goes and says, "It's okay, you will get along well with the Prince of Nanyue at that time."
"I know."
King Jin came out of the palace, but Shi Luo's face flashed through his mind. He always felt that this woman had a familiar feeling. He really doubted whether she had seen her or not, but he couldn't remember her.
Concubine Zhou was right. He is now evenly matched with King Yao, and the prince's side is likely to be revived. The emperor has not deposed the prince yet. This matter is very intriguing. If the emperor suddenly goes...
The superiors naturally became the prince.
The King of Jin's face was gloomy. He had planned carefully for so long that he would never let the power fall and surrender the throne to others.
Wei Congxi didn't come for several days, and Shi Luo realized that the emperor had sent a few more maids to his mansion.
The emperor seemed to be happy about it. He was so busy and still had time to do it. Shi Luo was speechless about this emperor.
A few days later, she received an invitation from the palace, and Concubine Zhou held a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet and invited her to attend.
Shi Luo actually doesn’t want to go there very much, after all, they all see annoying people.
But after all, Concubine Zhou's status was that so Shi Luo still had to give him face. Wei Congxi sent the news and said that he wanted it too. This time, Shi Luo would go even more.
The next day, Shi Luo learned that Concubine Zhou not only invited her, but also invited Xiao Mo and Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was so busy that he pushed him, so Shi Luo and Xiao Mo went together. Shi Luo was wearing a light purple dress today, while Xiao Mo was wearing a black brocade robe, which was very suitable for him.
The two of them have also started to say something recently, but they are all polite words and there is no substantiality. So, today they just greeted him, Xiao Mo got on the horse, while Shi Luo was on the carriage.
When we arrived in the palace, there were palace maids waiting early, and Shi Luo and the others arrived at Luoyi Garden soon.
There have been many noble ladies and ladies in the garden.
Shi Luo attended a flower viewing banquet in Nanyue, and she is no stranger to it.
Xiao Mo whispered: "Be careful!"
"Don't worry!"
The two of them were so angry that they naturally had to go to see Concubine Zhou first.
Concubine Zhou rested in the hall, and the hall was filled with potted chrysanthemums, all kinds of colors, and they were very beautiful.
"See the Imperial Concubine!"
Shi Luo is a princess in Nanyue, so he naturally doesn’t have to give a big gift, just leaning over slightly.
When Concubine Zhou saw her, she smiled and said, "The princess is exempted from gifts, and someone will give her a seat!"
A palace servant brought a chair and Shi Luo sat next to him.
Concubine Zhou looked at her up close and felt that the Nanyue princess was really beautiful.
"Is Your Highness still a habit of living in Dazhou?" asked Concubine Zhou.
Shi Luo also looked at her carefully. Concubine Zhou was not young anymore. Although she was well maintained, there were still wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Although she was still very beautiful, the most beautiful thing in this palace is beauty.
"I just came here a little bit unacceptable to the local conditions, but now I'm fine, thank you for your concern," said Shi Luo.
Concubine Zhou smiled and said to Mrs. Zhou next to her: "I'm right, this Nanyue people are outstanding and the princess is beautiful!"
Shi Luo noticed that a wife sitting next to Concubine Zhou looked familiar, and soon she remembered that it was Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Siyi's stepmother, who had seen her before.
When Concubine Zhou saw that Mrs. Zhou did not speak, she was surprised: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
