As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.

Concubine Shu was completely frozen. She was enjoying the show, but she never expected Prince Yu to rush up and step on her without knowing the truth.

Trampled her into the mud.

Although she never thought that the noble ladies of the Duke's Mansion were anything special, as a girl from a vassal family of the Cen family, she knew from a young age that she was not worthy of being compared with the noble ladies of the Xue and Cen families.

Of course she was not convinced, but this innate and subtle inferiority complex was hidden deep in her heart.

Prince Yu compared her with Princess Yu and accused her of being far inferior. She felt so hurt that she was unable to react for a while.

Concubine Cen did not speak up for Concubine Shu.

Because in her eyes, she and Xue Jinyan were equals, and Concubine Shu was just a servant of the Cen family.

What Prince Yu said was not wrong. How could she be qualified to be in charge of the harem?

Furthermore, Prince Yu belittled Concubine Shu, but every word he said was clearly a veiled criticism of the Emperor.

The emperor was of low birth, and he was scolding the emperor for not being worthy of the position. He was mocking the emperor's choice of people...

The palace banquet was not well organized. Didn't it lose face for Concubine Shu?

No, it belongs to the emperor.

Seeing the emperor's lively scene, Concubine Cen was of course happy to watch the show.

This was a blatant mockery that most of the smart people present could hear.

But no one would easily get involved in the confrontation between the emperor and the Xue family.

Only Ning Wanyin's eyes darkened, and she suddenly stood up and said:

"Prince Yu is wrong! The banquet in the palace and the banquet in the prince's mansion are not the same thing. How can they be confused?"

"A banquet in a royal palace is a ceremony between the host and the guest. But a banquet in a palace is a ceremony between the monarch and his subjects. Your Majesty's gift of fine wine is a great favor from the emperor. Is there anyone who doesn't know the hierarchy, the etiquette, and doesn't know that His Majesty's gift only requires gratitude?"

You're picking wine here that doesn't suit your taste?

I'm sorry, but this is our royal wine. We give it to you as a gift as a favor. It doesn't need to suit your taste.

Prince Yu was furious and looked at Ning Wanyin coldly, "Who are you when I am talking to His Majesty? How can you have a say?"

"Don't be impatient, Your Highness Prince Yu. I haven't finished speaking yet." Ning Wanyin replied lightly, looking at Helian Qi, and continued:

"I think that Prince Yu is not a rebellious person who does not know the etiquette of respect and inferiority. He is just shallow-minded, stupid and ignorant, which is why he has these misunderstandings. After all, as a minister, it is normal for Prince Yu not to know the significance of the emperor's banquet. I hope Your Majesty will understand this."

Prince Yu always said that he looked down on the emperor's background.

Then Ning Wanyin repeatedly emphasized his identity: a minister.

Helian Qi looked at Ning Wanyin.

The room was full of gorgeous clothes, but she was the only one standing alone, facing the wind, bright and gorgeous.

When their eyes met.

The young girl's eyebrows were slightly curved, and a clear smile appeared in her bright eyes.

At this moment, Helian Qi could only see her. She was the only one he could see.

Your heart is like a cold pond, but because of her, it has a few ripples.

"What Concubine Ning said makes sense." Helian Qi was delighted and looked at Prince Yu and said:

"I forgive your ignorance, Prince Yu should take it as a warning in the future."

With these words in unison, Prince Yu was speechless and gritted his teeth in anger.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, His Majesty is talking to you." Ning Wanyin saw that he was silent and deliberately urged him.

Prince Yu could only swallow his anger. He couldn't admit that he didn't know the difference between high and low and committed insubordination, right?

"I obey your order." Prince Yu said this reluctantly, looked at Ning Wanyin with murderous eyes, and returned to his seat.

Helian Qi wanted to reward Ning Wanyin again.

"Wang Degui, pick out two boxes of gold and jade jewelry from the treasury and give them to Ning Wanyin." Helian Qi ordered.

Wang Degui took the order and said, "Yes!"

Helian Qi thought about it, and with an idea, he took off a dragon-patterned jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it to Wang Degui:

"Give her this too."

Wang Degui was shocked that His Majesty actually gave his jade pendant to Ning Wanyin!

Your Majesty's personal belongings are not only precious items picked from thousands of miles away, but also have symbolic significance.

It represents the emperor's extraordinary love for his concubines.

Wang Degui quickly held the jade pendant and hurriedly ordered someone to go to the treasury to get two boxes of rare jewelry.

Present them to Ning Wanyin together.

Ning Wanyin immediately bowed to the emperor on the dragon throne and said, "I would like to thank your majesty for his grace."

All the concubines in the room saw this scene. Many of them had already gotten used to Helian Qi's favoritism towards Ning Wanyin, and were secretly envious and jealous.

Only Lady Wen was unwilling.

Even when she was pregnant, the emperor never gave her a jade pendant.

Obviously, she is the person that the emperor should care about most at this moment, but the emperor's heart is entirely on Ning Wanyin.

Since she became pregnant, Lady Wen has been shutting herself in to visitors. Today's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is her first public appearance since she became pregnant.

Lady Wen also decided to go out today after careful consideration.

First of all, the palace banquet was organized by Concubine Shu. If anything happened to her at the banquet, Concubine Shu would be to blame.

Furthermore, the palace banquets attended by the emperor were not ordinary gatherings to pay respects. The palace servants and food at the banquet would be carefully checked several times by the imperial court to prevent the emperor from being assassinated.

The Emperor and Concubine Shu checked several times and believed that no one would dare to tamper with anything at the palace banquet.

Just don't get close to anyone on the way back and forth.

After thinking it over, Lady Wen decided to enjoy the scenery in this safe setting.

She was holding her breath.

When she first entered the palace, she was a beauty, only lower than the two concubines. Among the newcomers, she felt very superior.

I feel that I will definitely be able to move up in career and achieve great things.

result……

She was demoted twice and lost face. Many people secretly laughed at her. Ning Wanyin and Ying Meiren were in the limelight, but she was struggling.
