Chapter 32 They Are Plotting Something at the Palace Banquet!

Xiao Chuchu was in the emperor's arms, listening to him praising her grandfather, but she was a little absent-minded.

[Strange, my grandfather didn't find out about Prince Liao's rebellion. ]

The Liu family's hair stood on end for a moment.

Xiao Yunzhou raised his eyebrows.

But soon Xiao Chuchu said, [But who would have thought that the emperor father would suddenly have an idea to give my grandfather a pot of nine-color peony. ]

[The Liu family has been farming for three generations, serving things in the soil. My grandfather didn't appreciate the peony when he got it, but studied how it could have nine petals and nine colors. ]

[So, every sip and every bite is fate! ]

[Cause and effect can change at any time. This time, it's thanks to the emperor father for letting my grandfather appreciate the flowers. It's a good appreciation! My grandfather didn't forget the tradition of our ancestors serving the crops in the fields~]

Xiao Yunzhou and Mr. Liu raised their mouths at the same time.

I feel very satisfied!

——It's all my wisdom!

——It's all because I understand flowers and plants!

Both of them were very satisfied with Xiao Chuchu's praise, and they were in a good mood.

"Mr. Liu, you should come to the palace early for the Golden Festival Banquet. I have something for you to do." Xiao Yunzhou quickly returned to the topic.

The Liu family master was shocked.

Sure enough, the emperor could also hear the little princess's voice!

He should be more careful in the future.

Can't just fool around, no, tell the emperor.

Thinking about it, he took his leave, but he didn't expect to meet Concubine Liu and the fifth prince in the side hall.

"My queen, His Highness the fifth prince, you are here too?" The Liu family master was surprised.

Concubine Liu and the fifth prince coughed lightly.

They had been eavesdropping for a long time, and had been thinking about whether the Liu family master could also hear the little princess's voice.

But after listening to the little princess's words, they gave up the idea.

It turned out that the Liu family discovered the abnormality of the peony because they were tending to the crops.

Concubine Liu and the fifth prince knew clearly at this moment that Master Liu was lucky and had seized the opportunity. He was very observant!

He deserved to be praised by the emperor this time.

"Dad, you have worked hard."

"Grandfather, I will learn from you in the future."

Master Liu blushed for a moment.

What happened?

What happened?

Lunch.

Xiao Yunzhou ate with them, and kept silent about what would happen at the Golden Award Festival, nor did he mention the affairs of Prince Liao and others.

If he didn't say anything, Concubine Liu and the fifth prince pretended not to know.

During the whole meal, they talked about how many times the little princess drank milk and urinated, whether the color and amount were normal, and how she slept. The meal passed peacefully.

"Mrs. Chan, I'm sorry that you have to continue living in the side hall of Donghua Palace."

"I will arrange a new position for you in the main palace after the new year and the beginning of spring."

With the rank of a concubine, she can be the master of a palace, which is much better than relying on Concubine Min before and only living in a side hall.

After all, it's a big house.

As the master of a palace, she doesn't have to worry about whether her words will offend other people in Donghua Palace.

Concubine Liu smiled and agreed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The fifth prince also smiled.

They knew that the main palace assigned this time would not be bad, and might be better than Donghua Palace.

As long as the Golden Festival is awarded to prove that the master of the Liu family advised Prince Liao's intention to rebel, the emperor will give a heavy reward.

The Liu family will never be the same again!

*

Soon, it was the day of the Golden Festival.

"Sister Liu, I really don't want you to move out after the new year." Concubine Min sighed, while holding a green Shu satin brocade and comparing it to Concubine Liu.

She wants to eat meat in the future, but no one will accompany her!

Alas, only Concubine Liu will persuade her to eat meat, and being plump and healthy is good.

In just a dozen days, Concubine Min felt that she had been friends with Concubine Liu for decades.

She couldn't bear to part, what should she do.

As Concubine Min spoke, her eyes became red, "But you live in my side hall, and the place you live in is too small. And you are now on the same level as me, so there is no reason for you to live in my side hall."

Alas.

Feeling uncomfortable and wanting to cry, Concubine Min turned her head away and wiped her tears.

Who understands? Since she became friends with Concubine Liu, she can hide in Concubine Liu's room all day.

Concubine Liu doesn't like to read Buddhist scriptures, she only reads storybooks!

"Sister Min." Liu Channiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was younger than Concubine Min, but Concubine Min was like a child, crying when she was separated from her playmates for a short time.

"I'm not moving out of the palace. I might just be separated from you by a wall."

"Who knows? I'll be assigned to the empty Lanxi Palace next to you."

"That's great!" Minpin was excited when she heard it. "It happens that there's a palace banquet today. I'll talk to the queen!"

The queen is not a good person either.

Liupin took a deep breath, but quickly suppressed her vigilance against the queen and turned her mind to the emperor's banquet for all officials.

I don't know if the general of the cavalry has entered the palace.

They are discussing matters today.

"Sister Min, I'm holding the little princess. Let's go to the palace banquet quickly."

"It hasn't started yet. Why go so early?"

Of course!

Go to the palace banquet to eat melons, bushi, and see what's going on with the rebellion.

Liupin is more active than ever, and Minpin has a good relationship with her, so she follows.

Today's palace banquet for the Golden Festival was held in two places.

One is Kunning Palace, where the queen entertains the concubines in the harem and the wives of ministers.

The other is Chonghua Palace, where the emperor entertains ministers and royal children in Beijing.

When Liupin and Minpin arrived at Kunning Palace, there were indeed not many people.

The banquet was held in the main hall of Kunning Palace, and the long tables were arranged one by one according to the ranks of the concubines.

The cold pots and cold dishes have not been served yet.

Except for a few concubines who are on good terms with the queen, chatting with the queen in the back hall of Kunning Palace, most of the others are still dressing up.

"Queen, Liupin and Minpin are here."

The queen was startled, "So early?"

Minpin likes to chant Buddha, and she likes quietness by nature. When she has nothing to do, she doesn't get close to her, the queen.

Not from her team.

Concubine Liu, whose position was low before, did not show much in previous years.

"Did you see clearly? Concubine Liu, Concubine Min, who is walking in front?"

The queen narrowed her eyes.

The maid whispered in her ear, "Concubine Liu's steps are a little hurried."

That was Concubine Liu, who advised Concubine Min to come to the palace banquet earlier today!

Concubine Liu had just been promoted, was she trying to show her favor to the queen?

"Go quickly, invite the people in." The queen's mood suddenly became better.

Concubine Liu was silent before, but now that she was favored by the emperor, she was neither arrogant nor indulgent, and she still had the queen in her eyes.

She was a good one!

The queen smiled and watched Concubine Liu and Concubine Min walk into the back hall.

"Come on, please give them a seat. Two sisters, are you cold on the road? Drink some hot tea to warm your body first." The queen was dignified and kind.

But Concubine Liu knew that this was a cruel man, so she smiled and thanked him, and sat on the chair near the door, farthest from the queen.

The queen nodded repeatedly in her heart. Concubine Liu was so respectful.

"Queen, the imperial concubine sent a message saying that she was not feeling well today and would not come."

The queen put down the cup in her hand heavily.

This imperial concubine Fucha was disliked by the emperor, but she was still so proud!

Look at Concubine Liu!

Comparing the two, the queen liked Concubine Liu more for coming to the palace banquet early and giving her face.

The queen suppressed her anger and quickly ordered the maid to serve snacks and chat with the concubines who arrived early.

As soon as she chatted, she found that this Concubine Liu was very honest and her character of not being in the limelight was even worse than that of Concubine Min!

Concubine Liu did not chat with other concubines throughout the whole process. Every time the queen said something, she smiled and nodded.

The more the queen looked at Concubine Liu, the more satisfied she was. This was giving her face and not stealing the show at all.

Even though she was summoned by the emperor several times recently, she was still so low-key, which was really precious!

Good, very good!

The queen was satisfied, "Everyone eat more today. I always treat you as my sisters. You don't have to be nervous."

The other concubines hurriedly agreed and chattered.

Only Concubine Liu kept her eyes level and smiled and nodded to the queen.

The queen secretly appreciated that Concubine Liu knew the hierarchy and put herself, the queen, first in everything, and her smile became even bigger.

But she didn't notice Concubine Liu's body, and leaned back slightly towards Nanny Zhangjia standing behind her seat.

Her ears were almost touching Nanny Zhangjia's arms - the little princess Chuchu's body.

[Aw, let me turn on the live broadcast and see where the general is! Wow, he came to the palace banquet so early! ]

[As soon as he came, he gave the emperor's eunuch a secret look! ]

[Aw, the eunuch saw it and secretly gestured back to him~]

[Ah, the grandfather is hiding behind the screen, secretly observing them! 】

【Oh, the Emperor is hiding behind the screen and watching their conversation! 】

Liu Pin stared straight ahead, smiling at the Queen.

Occasionally nodding.

Her mind had already been focused on what her daughter was thinking!

Then what? Then what?

After the Queen said a few words, she glanced at Liu Pin, and was more and more satisfied with her consistent, introverted and obedient expression!
