Chapter 6 — The Emperor's White Moonlight Returns, So Let's Play One More Game
In order to be able to organize the banquet thoroughly, she also built and repaired everywhere, taking care of everything big and small. Her body was already thin and weak, but now it has become even thinner. As soon as Qi Duc entered the Tru Tu palace, he never came out again, and when the banquet was about to start, he had no intention of leaving. According to regulations, the Emperor and Queen must enter at the same time, then sit down. Looking at this situation, it seems that in this life he does not intend to save me that little face. After Niem Chau helped me put on my makeup, I went ahead. Looking everywhere, all the seats were full, only the two chairmen's positions and the first position on the left of the cabinet were still empty.
“Please rest in peace, Your Highness the Queen.”
Seeing me walk in alone, the military mandarins and concubines were stunned for a moment, but still did not dare to delay and immediately stood up to pay their respects. I glanced at my eyes and saw my father and elder brother sitting at the front of the row of officials. Two people are also looking at me. Eyes met. We smile. After about an incense stick, Te Duc and Phi Dung slowly arrived, and everyone once again stood up to pay their respects. Qi Yu sat down. Dung Phi is also planning to sit down.
"Is Princess Dung's eyesight so bad that she can't see this palace, or does she not know the rules and dare to go beyond etiquette?" Qi Duc was about to open his mouth to say a few words to save face, but I interrupted him first and directly questioned Phi Dung.
Dung Phi's movements immediately stopped. That half-sitting, half-standing appearance is truly extremely funny. She raised her head and looked towards Qi Duc. Although Te Duc's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, the corners of his lips were slightly curled up.
"My concubine is rude, please do not blame the Queen."
Under the watchful eyes of the officials, especially the sharp, burning eyes of the Mandarins, in the end, Dung Phi still could not bear the pressure and bowed her head to me.
"You've changed this palace's decision again. If you meet this palace and don't pay respects, you'll have to be punished. Now you say something in advance, please don't blame me. If this palace still punishes you, wouldn't that be my palace's fault again?"
I refused to give up, continued to question, then pretended to rub my forehead.
"A fine is not good, and not being punished is not enough. It really gives this palace a headache. How about you come and be the Queen instead of this palace, try to help me figure out how to handle it?"
"I do not dare, please punish the Queen."
As soon as the words ended, Tu Huu Dung immediately knelt down on the ground and respectfully bowed. She didn't dare reveal even the slightest intention of peeking at the Queen's throne right in front of the officials. The whole banquet immediately fell silent. Qi Duc's face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to speak, I was one step faster.
"Oh my, this palace just wanted to stir up the atmosphere and joke with you, why are you so serious?"
“Quickly sit down, don't keep your lords waiting any longer.”
The quiet air seemed to be torn open, and those who had been holding their breath suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Duc frowned slightly, without revealing a trace, he glanced at me, then immediately began to say polite words. The other concubines didn't pay much attention to what Te Duc was saying, they all looked at Concubine Dung with interest. lose face. I sit in the highest position and see more clearly. To be humiliated by me like that, logically speaking, Princess Dung must have hated her to the point of gnashing her teeth. However, from beginning to end, her face remained calm as usual, and even showed a hint of pride. She and Qi Duc did all these things just to arouse my jealousy and compete for favor. I took that opportunity to humiliate her. Qi Duc thought I was jealous because of him. As for Dung Phi, she thought her plan was complete. They want to turn me into a puppet with strings pulled and played with freely in the palm of their hands. It's a pity... That trick is really too clumsy. The wine party is at its busiest. Between raising and exchanging glasses, Qi Duc's face turned red, clearly he had drunk a lot of wine. Nhu Tan was not comfortable drinking alcohol and could not stand the noisy scene, so she asked to leave early.
