Wu Qing was flattered, and wondered what the Queen Mother was thinking.

The emperor and the empress looked at each other, quite surprised by the empress dowager's action.

Apart from Concubine De, the Empress Dowager had never been so close to any other concubine.

The Queen Mother slowly explained, "I met Lady Ji once last time."

"She is also a devout Buddhist, and I have a strong affinity with her. Today, I thought it would be better to let her sit in the front and talk to me."

"It is said that she will give me a rare Buddhist scripture today. Please wait patiently."

[Overpraising!!! This is absolutely overpraising!!!] Wu Qing’s heart was filled with alarm bells.

She protested loudly in her mind: [I don’t want to sit in the front!!! How can I slack off then!!!]

The emperor rubbed his ears and turned to the queen mother and said, "It is an honor for Concubine Ji that your mother values ​​her. But she doesn't look good when she eats, and I'm afraid it will bother your mother's eyes. Let her stay in her original seat."

The Queen Mother's smile became more and more amiable, and she looked like a kind-hearted old lady.

She smiled and said, "Eating more is a blessing. I don't mind."

The emperor wanted to persuade her again, but the queen mother said, "Why? Today is my birthday, and I can't make the decision?"

Since the Empress Dowager said so, the Emperor had no choice but to shut up.

Seeing this, the Queen asked at the right time: "Mother, where do you want Concubine Ji to sit?"

The Queen Mother seemed to think about it in distress, "The place where Lady Ji is sitting right now is really too far away from me. My eyes are dim and I really can't see her."

She carefully looked at the seating arrangement at the banquet and suddenly said, "I think it would be better to let her sit in front of the imperial concubine. Wouldn't there be more space?"

As she spoke, the Queen Mother pointed to the small empty space between the seats of the Queen and the Imperial Concubine.

Hearing this, Concubine Lin, who was sitting at the first seat among concubines, raised her eyebrows slightly.

She secretly laughed in her heart. The Queen Mother was not happy that she sat in front of Concubine De, so she deliberately let Wu Qing sit in front of her to suppress her.

The emperor looked embarrassed and hesitated in his words: "I'm afraid this move... will make the concubine feel wronged."

In such a formal occasion, it is neither reasonable nor logical to let Concubine Ji sit in front of the Imperial Concubine.

Concubine Lin stood up and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, your words are too kind. I don't feel wronged at all. Today is the Queen Mother's birthday. I should put the overall situation first and follow the Queen Mother and the Emperor's wishes."

The Queen Mother was very displeased when she heard this.

In her eyes, Concubine Lin was fawning on the emperor again. This vixen looked exactly like Prince Ding's biological mother!

Concubine Lin smiled again and said, "But I think it would be too abrupt to add another table in front of the long table. Why not let Concubine Ji move here and sit at the same table with me? That way, the Queen Mother can also see Concubine Ji."

[This is good!!!] Wu Qing, who was full of resistance, immediately changed his tone and put on a pair of starry eyes.

Concubine Zhao and Noble Lady Zhang could hardly hold back their anger. They glanced at the Imperial Concubine resentfully and then looked away sadly.

The emperor quickly took over the conversation, "Your Highness's idea is good, let's do this."

Although the Imperial Concubine had interfered, at least she had been discouraged. The Queen Mother and the Virtuous Concubine were very pleased.

But when they looked over again...

——Noble Concubine Lin was actually talking to Noble Lady Ji in a friendly manner?

Concubine De thought she had seen it wrong. She silently took a sip of tea and looked up again...

——Noble Concubine Lin actually fed Noble Concubine Ji cakes with gentle words?

Defei's pupils couldn't help but dilate slightly, and she was almost choked by the tea in her mouth.

She was a little surprised. The person that Concubine Lin fed cakes to was not the emperor, but Concubine Ji?

On the other side, Concubine Lin said, "You should at least eat something. Don't let everyone think that you have lost your appetite because of my influence."

Wu Qing revealed his mask of pain, "My Lady, I already had a meal before I came here, I really can't eat any more."

According to her limited experience, the dishes at the banquet were the most unpalatable food in the world.

"Don't you always say that eating is one stomach and dessert is another stomach?"

Concubine Lin narrowed her eyes, "Are you going to sneak into the small kitchen in the middle of the night to make barbecue again?"

Last night she was woken up from her dream by Wu Qing, only to find out that she was grilling lamb skewers in the small kitchen.

It would be fine if she ate it, but Wu Qing didn't even bring her a few skewers? How unreasonable.

Wu Qing: “…” was discovered.

Under the gaze of Concubine Lin, Wu Qing took a piece of millet cake.

Concubine Lin continued to stare at her.

Wu Qing had no choice but to pick up another piece of millet cake.

Wu Qing chewed and said vaguely: "My queen, I was wrong. I will never eat alone again."

Only then did Concubine Lin look away with satisfaction.

…

The female ghost wandered back from outside the temple and attached herself to Wu Qing's body.

Wu Qing felt a chill on his back and almost sneezed loudly in front of everyone.

Wu Qing quickly asked her: [Sister, where did you go just now? ]

[I went to find Qin Li to learn. ]

The female ghost said grimly: "I have taken away his shadow. From now on, whenever he lowers his head, he will see my face."

Wu Qing thought about the scene.

Hiss, so sour and refreshing.

Inside the Kunning Palace, the emperor, the empress and all the concubines kept their mouths shut in tacit understanding.

...Sister? Who is Lady Ji calling?

And this person is so powerful that he can deprive Qin Lixue of his shadow. Maybe he is another person from heaven?

After waiting for a while, Wu Qing reacted.

——This time when she heard Qin Lixue’s unlucky name, she did not feel nauseous.

Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: [Your obsession has been eliminated? ! ! ]

[Maybe.] The ghost girl's voice was calm and detached, [During this week, he seemed to be a different person, stupid, angry, and arrogant. But then I thought, maybe this is what he really is like.]

After saying this, the female ghost suddenly let out an "ah".

【What's wrong?】

The female ghost relayed: [Qin Lixue saw my shadow...ah, he was so scared that he fell into the moat, haha.]

Wu Qing raised his hand to cover his overly exaggerated smile.

After the female ghost laughed twice, the energy in the space began to fluctuate violently.

The shackles around No. 2321 loosened a little.

It moved twice quickly, only to be bounced back by the harder wall.

In the Cining Palace, a strong wind blew into the hall, ruffling a lot of people's hair.

The only person in the audience who was not much affected was the emperor, because he didn't have much hair.

After the evolution, the ghost girl's voice lost its former melancholy tone and became exactly the same as Wu Qing's voice as a girl.

She said: [My obsession has been resolved, I can leave now. Before I leave, I will send you home.]

Wu Qing was so excited that she almost cried: [Great! Is there anything I can do? ]

The female ghost laughed and said: [Same as when you first came into this world.]

Wu Qing understood immediately, [Oh, you're looking for death, huh? No problem. ]

[Well, this world has a system that stays there, and returning as a soul is the safest way to leave.]

They had just finished tidying up their appearance when they heard this. Everyone was in a state of confusion.

——What!? Lady Ji is leaving?

This is so rushed!!!

During the banquet, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "This leading dancer is pretty good. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The emperor shook his head, "No."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "...where is the Pipa girl over there?"

The emperor shook his head frantically, "No."

After being refuted twice in a row, the Queen Mother could no longer maintain her smile.

She followed the emperor's gaze and found that his eyes were fixed on Concubine Ji.
