Chapter 47 Sharing a Husband

"Li Guifei is joking with you, don't be afraid."

In the past, this "Don't be afraid" soothed all the pain in Li Guifei's heart, but today, the emperor said it to another woman.

Her heart ached slightly, and her smile became more sincere: "I was joking, but I didn't know that Zhen Guirong was so timid. When Concubine Chu pretended to be a ghost to scare you, you were so brave. I thought you were fearless!"

She brought this up deliberately for Jiang Shaoqing and Zhou to hear. Li Guifei failed to instigate and wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

The emperor took a deep breath and sighed heavily from his nose. He held Jiang Xinyue's hand and did not move. This was a manifestation of his impatience.

Jiang Xinyue had tears in her eyes, but because of the solemn occasion and the countless eyes staring at her, she forced the tears back and smiled coquettishly: "It turns out that the Concubine is so concerned about me. I am really terrified. But you are wrong, my lady! It's not that I am not afraid, but with the Emperor here, what kind of monsters can get close to the Emperor?"

When the ghost story in Xihe Palace happened, Empress Zhu had already ordered a news blockade. From what Concubine Li said, she even knew Jiang Xinyue's reaction clearly.

Concubine Li was stimulated by the emperor's favor for Jiang Xinyue and blurted out the secret without realizing it. The emperor seemed to be thinking, did Concubine Li have already planted a spy next to Zhen Guirong at such an early time?

The charming, bold, bright and sunny woman had been immersed in the big dye vat of the harem for too long, and even he didn't recognize her.

Concubine Li wanted to say more, but Xia He beside her screamed in surprise and spilled the wine on her skirt.

She knelt down quickly: "Please forgive me, Concubine, I was attracted by the music in the palace, I didn't mean it."

It was impossible to get angry, after all, Xia He was her own person.

Since she was useless in Layue, Xia He has successfully risen to become the head maid of Changxin Palace, and now she is Concubine Li's new right-hand man.

She is not such a rash and reckless person.

"Your Majesty, my skirt is wet. Please allow me to go down and change clothes."

Emperor Xuanwu nodded and frowned at Xia He: "You, the maid, have been unruly several times, and you are even worse than the previous one."

Xia He's face turned pale in an instant!

What does the emperor mean by this?

Is he angry because Concubine Li had just embarrassed Zhen Guirong, and vented his anger on Concubine Li's maid, or is he really just angry that the maid spilled wine on Concubine Li's skirt?

This is a double entendre, and how others think about it is up to each person to see.

Only Jiang Xinyue knew that Emperor Xuanwu was not dissatisfied with Concubine Li, but simply disliked Xia He.

Because last time when Concubine Li was injured and unconscious, she said in front of all the concubines in the harem that the emperor used Jiang Xinyue as a substitute for Concubine Li.

The concubines looked at her with a little more fear and timidity.

There is nothing wrong with that. They know to be afraid. The next time they attack her, they will hesitate a little and think about whether they can bear the consequences after the conspiracy is exposed.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Shaoqing's daughter Jiang Yulin, the daughter of the Minister of Rites Wang Ruolan, and the daughter of the Director of the Imperial College Meng Wanru will perform for your majesty."

Jiang Xinyue was originally inspired to select a female band that she liked very much in modern times from the Jiaofang Division to form the Dayan Women's Twelve Band. Three of them were replaced by the daughters of ministers.

One of them is her half-sister.

What are you doing?

Are you trying to imitate Concubine Rong and Concubine Rong, and want the sisters to share the same husband?

How perverted!

To be honest, although the daughters of the three ministers are the most beautiful among the musicians, their instruments are really not as good as the three female musicians from the original Jiaofangsi. Emperor

Xuanwu's sharp eyes revealed a fierce displeasure, and his eyebrows were as thick as ink paintings, which had great intimidation.

He was not happy that his arrangements were suddenly disrupted.

People were too far away to see his expression clearly, but Jiang Xinyue was close and saw it clearly.

She tugged at the emperor's sleeve and whispered, "The emperor is the Son of Heaven. All civil and military officials must obey his orders. It is a great gift for the daughters of a few ministers to sing and dance to please the emperor and be rewarded with gold and silver, even a silk flower."

Regardless of whether the Rongpin sisters hated the fact that the two sisters served a man, she hated it anyway.

Even if she was not the real Jiang Xinyue, even if this body was not really hers, the education she received did not teach her to accept such a thing that destroyed her worldview.

Since the emperor did not like them either, she would just follow the emperor's wishes and block their way into the palace.

Just kidding, there are so many beauties in this palace that haven't been settled yet, and if she attracts a few rivals in love, she will be too busy.

The music ended, and thunderous applause broke out in the hall.

The three ladies were born in famous families, and they were good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting. This performance was the most wonderful palace banquet that the courtiers and ladies had enjoyed in recent years.

Every year, the palace banquet was organized by Empress Zhu, except for the New Year banquet, which was jointly discussed with the Honglu Temple because it was to receive foreign envoys.

At that time, some people praised the Honglu Temple for its good job this year, and more people praised Empress Zhu for her kindness and kindness, and for being able to arrange such a wonderful program.

Moreover, this year's dishes were different from the stereotyped Manchu-Han banquets in previous years. They were very novel and delicious.

The most important thing was the uniqueness. They had never eaten it anywhere else.

De Fei glanced at Zhen Guirong who was sitting next to the emperor, and was relieved to see that she did not show an unhappy expression because the queen took all the credit.

The fried chicken with fine wine, the barbecue with the fire, and the Twelve Palace Girls Orchestra, all the novelties that were praised by everyone, were all thought up by Zhen Guirong.

She did not ask the emperor to help her clear her name at this time, but gave all the credit to the queen, which was very sensible. In

this regard alone, many concubines in the harem were inferior.

Fortunately, Li Guifei's clothes were wet, otherwise she would definitely come out to expose the queen after seeing the court officials and their families praising the queen.

Compared to Zhen Guirong, Concubine Li Guifei didn't want the status of the Queen to be stable. After all, she thought she was of noble status and always wanted to be the mistress of the three thousand beauties in the harem.

"Haha..."

Emperor Xuanwu was very pleased with the compliment. He thought that he had quoted the method of Zhen Guirong and received unanimous praise, which showed that he still had good vision.

"There are rewards, all of them are rewarded."

He waved his hand and said, "The Jiaofangsi will reward you with 1,000 taels of silver. As for the daughters of the three ministers...golden and white things are insulting to your status..."

His hesitation made the three people below have their hearts beat faster and run like thunder.

"I will reward each of you three with a silk flower from the Jiangnan brocade town!"

Ah?

It would be better to give you golden and white things!
