A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Tao Yuwei's mind.
She didn't catch it immediately. When she was about to think about it carefully, the palace maids and eunuchs who were responsible for welcoming the court families had already arrived in front of the two families.
After greeting and saluting, men and women walked separately.
Led by several eunuchs, the men chose another direction and rushed to the Yuqiong Tower in the palace, which was specially used for hosting banquets.
The families of important officials of the court, including the senior maidservant of Queen Gu, personally led people to the harem to meet the Queen.
Tao Yuwei followed Wu and the women from Shangshu Gao's family to meet the queen.
Along the way.
The women in Gao Huaizhen's family looked at the mother and daughter with ingratiating smiles.
"Mom, what are they trying to do?"
Knowing clearly that the two families were not on good terms, he still gave her a friendly smile, which made Tao Yuwei even more alert.
Gao Huaizhen, the head of the Gao family, was reported for drugging and raping the wife of a court official. He was then taken to the prison for interrogation by the Xiaoyu Guards ordered by Emperor Jianchang.
The current head of the Gao family is Gao Huaizhen’s eldest son Gao Chengan.
A few years ago, with the help of his family, this man was appointed by Emperor Jianchang as the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and was responsible for presiding over the sacrificial ceremonies of the Great Zhou.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, this position was very important and was appointed by Emperor Jianchang himself.
He was also one of the important officials in the court.
After his father was arrested, the entire Gao family did not collapse, and its status in the court remained the same.
In addition, Gao Cheng'an, who was from Concubine Gao's family, secretly used the name of the second prince, Prince Yong, to win over a group of people who would serve him faithfully.
Before this, Gao Huaizhen openly impeached Tao Zhihong for the benefit of the second prince, leading to the death of the General's Mansion.
Both families knew in their hearts that they were mortal enemies.
But it is very unusual to show goodwill at this critical juncture.
"Don't be afraid. When we get to the banquet, just stay away from the Gao family."
Wu felt that since Gao Huaizhen was still imprisoned in the prison by His Majesty, the Gao family would definitely behave themselves and would face their enemies with a smile on the surface.
Seeing her mother's attitude of fighting back and blocking the water, Tao Yuwei didn't say anything else.
When we arrived at Feng'an Palace, all the concubines from various palaces were there except Empress Dowager Guo.
Everyone saluted Queen Gu.
Queen Gu's face looked unusually happy.
"Today is a good day, everyone get up!"
Her efforts yesterday were not in vain. She heard from her brother that the bitch Concubine Huo had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by His Majesty for some unknown crime.
From now on, she no longer has to look at that bitch who is so arrogant that she can dominate her.
Everyone saw Queen Gu's good mood, and everyone became even more cautious.
"Princess Anle, thanks to you for saving Xiaojiu, come and reward Princess Anle with one hundred taels of gold and ten boxes of cloth."
In front of so many people, Queen Gu suddenly said this, and Tao Yuwei opened her mouth in surprise.
I'll go.
She is still waiting for His Majesty's reward. They are indeed the stingy emperor and empress.
So this is the reward.
Many people looked at Tao Yuwei with envy.
Of course, there were also those with bad intentions who targeted her.
Before she could find the man in the crowd, her mother, Mrs. Wu, pulled her over and asked her to thank him.
Queen Gu rarely laughed heartily.
"I will have these rewards delivered to your residence. Okay, it's almost time. Someone, take the ladies to Yuqiong Tower for the banquet."
In addition to the queen, a group of concubines and families of important officials, led by palace maids, left the queen's Feng'an Palace in a mighty procession.
Tao Yuwei and Wu followed everyone. Not long after they walked out of Feng'an Palace, they were stopped by a pleasant female voice.
