She touched the cup as if unintentionally, and the wine inside flowed out, and she let out a soft "ah".
The palace maid serving beside her hurried forward to wipe it. Fortunately, the cup was small and the wine was not much, so the dress was not wet.
Emperor Xuan Jing frowned, his tone revealing dissatisfaction: "Why is the Imperial Concubine also served with wine?"
Concubine Hui's heart tightened, secretly resenting Bai Susu for coming up to her and immediately putting pressure on her. She quickly stood up and explained, "Your Majesty, the wine your Royal Concubine drinks is made from fruit. I also drank it when I was pregnant, and it has no effect on the dragon fetus."
After hearing her say this, Emperor Xuan Jing did not pursue the matter, but still ordered a cup of hot almond goat milk to be served to Bai Susu.
Although it is harmless to the fetus, everyone's foundation is different. Susu can't drink alcohol and will get drunk if she drinks a little. He will not take the risk of letting Susu drink while she is pregnant.
Bai Susu took a sip of the mellow goat milk and smiled at Emperor Xuan Jing.
Concubine Hui was very upset when she saw that the emperor's eyes were glued to Bai Susu and couldn't be taken away.
When Emperor Xuan Jing said "Let the banquet begin", she stood up and said that she had prepared singing and dancing to entertain everyone.
After Emperor Xuan Jing agreed, she clapped her hands, and singing girls came on stage with pipa, guqin, sheng, xiao and jade flute.
They all wore soft green silk clothes, with graceful figures and beautiful faces. With light plucking of their fingers, the sounds flowed out from the pipa and the guqin, complementing each other but with their own rhythm.
Bai Susu couldn't help but be mesmerized by the music. Concubine Hui smiled slightly, and as the music gradually became more prominent, a woman slowly emerged from behind. She had a graceful figure, and her appearance was like that of an angel. She moved gracefully to the music and performed a flying fairy dance.
Bai Susu suddenly felt bored, it turned out to be a beauty trap.
However, the more I looked at the dancer, the more familiar he looked.
Frankly speaking, she danced well, her movements were light and graceful, as if she had no bones. This was not something that could be achieved overnight.
After the dance, the woman bowed gracefully and said softly, "I dance to entertain the emperor. May the prosperity of the Daqing nation last long."
Bai Susu finally knew where this familiar feeling came from. It turned out to be Jiang Yuning.
Emperor Xuan Jing had obviously forgotten Jiang Yuning. When he heard her call him "concubine", he was still a little confused. Wang Fuhai stepped forward in time to remind him.
Emperor Xuan Jing bent his fingers and tapped the table. Jiang Cairen...
The memory is very vague, but seeing that this woman appeared at such a perfect time, it couldn't be a coincidence.
He had seen many beauties, but if there was ambition in one's eyes and hypocrisy in one's heart, then even the most beautiful woman would be eclipsed.
Unlike the one next to him, his face turned dark and his mouth became gloomy since he and Concubine Hui started drinking, and all his emotions were shown on his face.
The emperor couldn't help but linger his gaze on her for a while because of his memories of Jiang Yuning, which made Bai Susu jealous.
Men are really no good!
When Emperor Xuan Jing saw that she was jealous of him, he felt a strange joy in his heart, and he also wanted to playfully tease her.
So he looked at Jiang Yuning leisurely again.
Jiang Yuning was only wearing a thin gauze that day, but she didn't feel cold at all. The energy from dancing just now made her heart feel hot.
My palms were full of sweat.
She has paid too much for this appearance, and she never wants to go back to the days when she could only burn black charcoal, the house was cold and gloomy, and it emitted a choking smell.
She was also brought up in a pampered family, she would really freeze to death!
When Concubine Hui saw that Emperor Xuan Jing was indeed interested in Jiang Yuning, she felt a mixed feeling in her heart. Yes, Jiang Yuning was arranged by her, and she was not chosen because of her outstanding appearance, but because of her relationship with Bai Susu.
They entered the palace on the same day, one was a favored concubine, and the other was in a corner of the palace and was bullied by everyone. This difference was enough to make Jiang Yuning ambitious and dissatisfied.
Moreover, Jiang Yuning had a secret hatred towards Bai Susu. Although she didn't know why, she could feel it.
In this case, Jiang Yuning is a good candidate.
As for whether it would succeed..., looking at Bai Susu's obviously surprised expression, Concubine Hui secretly curled the corners of her lips. As long as she could make Bai Susu feel upset, it would not be in vain. If she could get so angry that she even had a miscarriage, that would be even better.
Bai Susu was indeed in a bad mood. She had always disliked Jiang Yuning, mainly because she didn't like her scheming personality.
I originally thought that she had faded away, after all, she had angered Emperor Xuan Jing just by serving him in bed once. I didn't expect to see her again today.
Bai Susu felt like she couldn't kill a cockroach.
Emperor Xuan Jing saw that the little guy's face was getting darker and darker, so he didn't dare to tease him anymore. Just as he opened his mouth to ask Jiang Yuning to leave, Jiang Yuning's heart was in his throat.
But then she heard Bai Susu's soft voice: "Your Majesty, I am a little tired and want to go back to rest."
She stroked her pregnant belly, her eyes were sweet, and the red at the corners of her eyes made her look even more gentle and charming. She was really pitiful.
Everyone didn't expect the imperial concubine to be so pretentious. The banquet just started and she's already tired?
It seems that they are afraid that Emperor Xuan Jing will take a favorable look at this new beauty.
Jiang Yuning had the same thought in his mind. At this moment, his hatred for Bai Susu reached its peak. His eyes turned red with anger. He looked up at Emperor Xuan Jing pitifully.
But Emperor Xuan Jing would never give her a look. Seeing Bai Susu's eyes full of grievance, he softened his heart and coaxed her in a low voice: "Are you tired? I'll take you back to the palace."
"The Imperial Concubine is not feeling well. I will take her back to the palace first. You can continue to have fun."
Seeing that Emperor Xuan Jing was really going to take the imperial concubine back, Jiang Yuning was dumbfounded, Concubine Hui was dumbfounded, and the other concubines were also dumbfounded.
How long had the Emperor been here before he left? The Imperial Concubine was too petty, not allowing anyone else a chance to gain favor.
But why? Aren't they the emperor's women? Even the previous queens weren't so overbearing!
"Your Majesty, since the imperial concubine is tired, why don't you go to the side hall to rest? If you leave, what's the point of this banquet?" Concubine Hui whispered softly, trying to struggle desperately.
The emperor was already tying Bai Susu's cloak at this time, thinking that this was not something that could be solved by taking a rest in the side hall. Seeing Susu's pretty face with a cold look, he couldn't help but groan in his heart. He didn't know how to comfort her when he got back. It would be better if he didn't do this just now.
He waved his hand and said, "Why is it boring? Let this...Jiang Cairen dance again to liven up the atmosphere for you guys."
Jiang Yuning trembled... tears of humiliation filled her eyes. Did the emperor treat her as a dancer?
She practiced dancing hard for several months, and this is the result?
In short, no matter how everyone tried to persuade him to stay, Emperor Xuan Jing still left with the imperial concubine.
The banquet had become dull. They had already disliked Jiang Yuning, and now they disliked him even more. His tactics were too vulgar, truly embarrassing for the concubines! He had even angered the Emperor and driven him away.
No, it was the imperial concubine who was mad and left!
