Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Zhao Zhenglian said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to thank you. I am also a member of the Chu Kingdom, so I should persuade the Emperor. However, although the Emperor promised not to repair the imperial mausoleum for the time being, he did not agree to rescue the disaster. What should we do?"

Chu Xuanchen looked into the distance, and said: "Your Excellency, there is no need to worry. This king will think of a way to solve this matter. Although the emperor is not willing now, this king can feel that his mind has loosened. As long as we add more firewood, Maybe he will agree."

"In that case, the next official will wait for the good news from the prince." Zhao Zhenglian said.

He is the official in charge of Qin Tianjian, and he had nothing to do with these matters.

But he saw that the emperor became more and more cruel, and he didn't care about the lives of the people, so he couldn't stand it anymore, so he agreed to King Li.

He also hoped that the emperor could quickly rescue the disaster and let the people have enough to eat, otherwise the world will be more chaotic.

After Zhao Zhenglian left, Chu Xuanchen prepared to leave the palace.

At this time, from a distance, he saw Xue Tianxiang leading a group of palace servants coming over.

He immediately stood aside, ready to avoid these palace family members.

But Xue Tianxiang walked towards him and said, "My lord, you haven't left the palace yet?"

Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows, and lightly arched his hands towards Xue Tianxiang, "Is there something wrong with the imperial concubine?"

Xue Tianxiang said: "It's like this. The emperor will hold a concubine banquet for Dong Guiren in two days. The emperor hopes that all the princes can bring their families to attend, so I'm here to tell you."

Chu Xuanchen was thoughtful, "The concubine banquet?"

The people were starving to death, yet the emperor still thought about holding a banquet, it was really extravagant and wasteful.

Xue Tianxiang nodded: "Yes, the emperor has decided to make Dong Guiren a concubine. He loves Dong Guiren very much, so he will hold a concubine banquet for her. My lord, I invite you to bring the princess to attend."

Chu Xuanchen narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said: "Concubine Xue, will the troupe be invited to perform at the Concubine Banquet?"

Xue Tianxiang was stunned, "Of course. My lord, why do you ask such a question?"

Chu Xuanchen said: "Concubine Xue, I have something to trouble you with."

Xue Tianxiang immediately said: "My lord, please tell me."

Chu Xuanchen approached Xue Tianxiang slightly, said a few words in a low voice, then stood up straight and looked at her.

Xue Tianxiang nodded quickly when she heard his words, "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely do it."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, the king will go first!" Chu Xuanchen turned and left after finishing speaking.

Seeing his tall and deep back, Xue Tianxiang was slightly taken aback.

She doesn't dare to expect too much now, even if she doesn't get him, even if she just gets his "Thanks for your hard work" care, she is very happy in her heart.

Two nights later, Emperor Hongyuan held a concubine banquet for Dong Shishi.

In the afternoon, the royal relatives of Chu State and some high-ranking officials all came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to celebrate Dong Shishi's concubine concubine.

After Emperor Hongyuan and Dong Shishi arrived, everyone sat down and had dinner.

At this moment, Xue Tianxiang stood up, raised her wine glass, looked at Emperor Hongyuan with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the emperor on the newcomer, and my concubine toasts you."

Seeing everyone enjoying themselves happily, Emperor Hongyuan was in a good mood. He raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Concubine Xue, you organized this concubine banquet. You have worked hard today! Come on, cheers!"

Xue Tianxiang hurriedly smiled and said, "Cheers."

After finishing speaking, she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Dong Shishi sat beside Emperor Hongyuan and looked at Xue Tianxiang carefully.

On this occasion, she thought that Xue Tianxiang would be jealous, but she didn't expect that not only was she not jealous, but she behaved very generously, which was really surprising.

Ever since she became a favorite, the concubines in the palace were either jealous or ridiculed when they saw her, only Xue Tianxiang was very enthusiastic towards her.

I don't know if Xue Tianxiang is scheming and forbearing, or is she really gentle and kind?

The emperor has made a new concubine, everyone is very curious, so now many people are secretly looking at Dong Shishi, wanting to see her appearance clearly.

Yun Ruoyue also looked over curiously.

At a glance, there was a very pure-looking beauty sitting beside Emperor Hongyuan. Her appearance looked innocent and lovable, but her gestures were full of coquettishness, which was very attractive.

She is another special beauty, no wonder Emperor Hongyuan dotes on her so much.

At this time, Xue Tianxiang stood up again, and said: "Your Majesty, in order to celebrate my sister, my concubine invited the very popular Lihua class in the capital into the palace."

As she said that, she said coquettishly: "Usually you, the emperor, are the first to order a play. Today we are going to play a game. Whoever wins will order the play first. How about it?"

After hearing this, Emperor Hongyuan smiled and said, "Okay, Concubine Xue, the idea you came up with is very interesting. That's fine, then tell me, how do you play this game?"

Xue Tianxiang thought for a while, and said: "The concubine will ask a question, whoever can answer first will win, how about it?"

Emperor Hongyuan plucked his beard and laughed loudly: "Okay, no problem, you can start!"

Xue Tianxiang glanced at everyone, and said: "Everyone has a chance, I've come up with a question. The question is: What eggs are good or bad?"

When everyone heard this, they all began to think.

Someone hurriedly said, "I know, it's eggs."

Xue Tianxiang shook her head, "No, eggs are edible."

"Is that a duck egg?"

"No." Xue Tianxiang said.

"Is it a goose egg?"

"Not at all." Xue Tianxiang said.

Su Qishao suddenly said: "Is that a bird egg? A turtle egg? A snake egg?"

When everyone heard this, they all stared at Su Qishao speechlessly.

The eldest princess pushed him, and said with disgust: "Su Qishao, are you disgusting? You only eat snake eggs."

As soon as the words fell, everyone roared with laughter.

"Neither." Xue Tianxiang smiled and shook her head.

Emperor Hongyuan also racked his brains to think, and he said while thinking: "Is there an egg that you like or not? Is there such an egg in the world? This question is really strange, my concubine, where did you learn it?"

Xue Tianxiang glanced at Yun Ruoyue quickly, and hurriedly said: "This is what I think. How about it, Your Majesty, do you know?"

Emperor Hongyuan thought for a while, and said helplessly: "Don't say it, I really didn't expect it, you little brain, you are really a ghost!"

Xue Tianxiang smiled proudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

After finishing speaking, she looked at everyone and said, "Does anyone know? I'll count one, two, three. If no one knows, forget it! One..."

"I know!" At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly came from the hall.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Yun Ruoyue who spoke.

At this time, Yun Ruoyue had already stood up, she smiled confidently, and looked at the spring breeze, very comfortable.

Chu Xuanchen looked at Yun Ruoyue dotingly, smiled and curled his lips.

Xue Tianxiang said: "Oh, Princess Li actually knew? Then what is your answer?"

Yun Ruoyue smiled and said, "My answer is - face."

As she spoke, she patted her face lightly.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone suddenly realized.
