Chapter 231 The Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 20

Tao Ran was also determined not to give up until the end, so she started practicing martial arts based on Yu Tong's memory.

Yu Tong's basic skills are very good, and Tao Ran also has some basic skills. She adapts well by following her memory.

Within a few days, she was basically able to use 60% to 70% of Yu Tong's moves.

The feeling of practicing martial arts is so amazing.

Tao Ran was a little obsessed.

In the past, she worked hard to instill her knowledge into the task body, but this time it was finally the other way around.

She wants to steal her master!

She wants to learn martial arts!

With her ambition to improve, she began to memorize the exercises and mental methods every day, and became familiar with the operation of internal forces. She doesn't ask that she can become a peerless master after returning to her own body, but she hopes that these exercises will help to strengthen her body.

Granny Hua has a lot of minor health problems, and this breath adjustment method should also be very helpful to her.

…

The queen is busy, Tao Ran is studying, and Ye Ruqiu from Chu Xiu Palace is crying every day.

In comparison, Ji Rong, who later entered Chuxiu Palace, was better than Ye Ruqiu.

Although Ji Rong has no brains, he thinks he is smart and well-rounded. So no matter how dissatisfied she was, on the first day she entered Chuxiu Palace, she was generous and was not ostracized.

But Ye Ruqiu, who had always maintained a high self-esteem, felt noble and upright, was different.

She is a complete double-standard idealist. She never feels wrong about herself and feels that all her actions are excusable. But for others, her requirements are much stricter.

All those who disagree with her are evil forces. All "evil forces" disappoint her, and all evil deeds disgust her. Therefore, the condescending look in her eyes that she showed from time to time made everyone in Chuxiu Palace hate her.

She couldn't live this day any longer.

Physically and mentally, I was almost exhausted.

The meals in Chuxiu Palace are distributed daily according to seats. She was a new beauty who was punished and grounded, and she was at the end every day. As a result, when she comes here, she either only has a few side dishes and steamed buns, or she has rice and pickles.

She couldn't eat and lost weight. I stewed some supplements, but someone stole them.

The mattress she originally slept on was confiscated because it did not comply with the regulations, so she now uses an ordinary quilt with satin. How can she sleep without silk?

To make matters worse, one night, a mouse got into her room, which frightened her so much that she had a high fever the next day, and she couldn't sleep for several nights.

But Li Bin said it was impossible. There may be rats in the palace occasionally, but with so many people living in Chuxiu Palace, it is absolutely impossible!

She had to be taught by her nanny every day and was required to copy thirty pages of scriptures every day. She had to rewrite any mistakes or dirty paper, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

She begged someone to send a message to the emperor and asked him to save her.

The emperor sent a letter but asked her to endure it. They said it was only three months, gritted their teeth and passed. He said that if he came forward for her again at this time, it would affect the overall plan.

But she really couldn't do it anymore. In just a short time, she lost weight and became sick. If this continues, she may not survive three months.

And...she is anxious!

Although no one is favored in the Chuxiu Palace, the news is well-informed!

Who has the emperor favored recently? Men Qing!

When the imperial concubine is ill, the emperor is most empty.

No, she heard that the emperor had recently gone to see Concubine Xian, the granddaughter of the great scholar Gu, twice, and he had also summoned Ning Cai, who had just entered the palace last year, several times, with a delicate and graceful temperament and the same type as her. In a few nights, Ning Cai had become Ning Gui.

The emperor likes that. If this continues, will he change his mind? Ye Ruqiu felt a strong sense of crisis.

She once again asked the emperor's people to deliver the message.

All kinds of crying, all kinds of expressions that I can’t live anymore. She also said that she knew that the emperor had a new favorite, and if she didn't see her again, she would sever ties with him!

On the most serious day, she had someone send two letters in one day, saying that even if she couldn't be lifted from the ban, she still wanted to see him.

There is no way, he has too many women, she is afraid that the relationship will fade away, she must maintain it, even if she does not talk about revisiting the old relationship, she must let the emperor see her situation with his own eyes and make him feel guilty. Maybe this can make him think of a way. Get yourself out early.

After all, it was true love. How could the emperor bear to have his sweetheart hurt again? He could only agree and said that he would find a way to see her in the near future.

So, on the night of the 15th, when the emperor stayed at the Queen's Palace as required, he proposed that the harem had not hosted a banquet for a long time. While the lotus flowers were blooming, it was better to hold a grand banquet by Taiye Lake to make the harem and concubines happy. . Of course, the most important thing is that the concubine Qianqiu is coming soon, so she can fulfill her filial piety.

It's rare for an emperor to be so attentive and filial, so the queen naturally agreed.

That day will come soon.

Grand indeed.

The queen arranged songs and dances according to the emperor's request, and also invited a theater troupe and a juggler's troupe. The emperor even invited several cousins ​​to join in the fun.

The whole palace was full of joy.

The banquet was held in the shade by the lake, where the cool breeze was blowing, which was very comfortable.

Except for Ye Ruqiu, who was banned, all the concubines, regardless of their status, participated.

Tao Ran felt new about this kind of ancient banquet, not because of the theater and sideshows, but because of the banquet itself and the people attending it.

This is the first banquet she has experienced since arriving in ancient times!

It's completely different from the ones on the set.

As for the dishes, there are thirty-six of them, most of which have never been seen before.

The same goes for people. Because the concubine who passed her birthday was highly respected, many relatives of the emperor came. She had to admit it.

She still has to look for it. Is there a successor to the throne in the royal family?

The current emperor has no heirs, so to overthrow him, there must be a new emperor who agrees with him and can stand with him, so that he can be named the queen mother, right?

Therefore, Tao Ran glanced at the crowd from time to time.

Princes, many of them are of the late emperor's generation. They are too old. People in ancient times had short life spans. They might get burped at any time. It is not a good thing for the country or Yu Tong. The emperor's brothers, almost all of them are dead, only the two younger ones are left, otherwise the late emperor would not be able to choose the current emperor.

It's too small, it's too troublesome. Yu Tong was only suitable to be a queen dowager in leisure time. It would be another thing if she had to listen to politics behind the curtain.

So, the only way to find it is among the royal cousins?

So Tao Ran read it several times among the emperor's cousins. She couldn't help but sigh. Can these people do it? The late emperor made the wrong choice, can she choose the right one?

The male guests were making flower arrangements, and Tao Ran watched for a while. There are a few of them who are indeed quite talented. I just don’t know what people are like!

Halfway through the banquet, most of the female guests went to the theater and the sideshows, while the male guests, who were good drinkers, were still drinking. Having drunk too much, he had already laid down and was helped to a guest room not far away to rest. For example, the emperor was given too much wine and was helped down.

Tao Ran and the Queen looked at each other.

The queen raised an eyebrow.

The two looked away again...
