Chapter 252 The Plan at the Birthday Banquet Part 8
Chapter 252 The plan at the birthday party (8)
When Yun Ji spoke again, it was the distant and cold Crown Prince Ji Yue again, which made Su Rao's mind wander back, and she only looked away from Yun Ji.
Another sip of wine.
His expression became clear.
Even if his original intention was for her to have a good rest, so what, it was his fault for tapping her acupoint, and she didn't blame him, so why should she feel guilty.
After another sip of wine, his eyes became clearer and clearer. He put aside all matters related to Yun Ji and stopped thinking about it.
After the birthday gifts were delivered, as noon approached, the birthday meal was served.
The orchestral music, silk and bamboo music also played, and the dancing girl entered the palace.
Play music and dance.
"Concubine Zhao, I heard that you are quite famous in Yunlang and that you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Looking at your figure, I think your dancing skills are also very good.
You have been married to me, Zhu Siam, for a long time. Ah Shao kept you well hidden in the past, but today we rarely see you until the Emperor's birthday party, so why don't you come and perform a dance first."
Empress Rong suddenly spoke up and asked Zhao Lianxin to dance. Although she had a smile on her face, she meant to interfere with Zhao Lianxin. But from the fact that she directly waved her hand to ask the dancers to leave, it can be seen that the so-called interference was just superficial.
Just meaning.
"Ah Shao won't be reluctant to part with it, right?"
Then he made another joke and looked at Siam Yi Chi Shao. Empress Rong looked like a good royal sister-in-law at this moment.
But anyone who knows the discord between Empress Rong and Siam Chi Shao will know that Empress Rong did this on purpose. She deliberately targeted Siam Chi Shao.
And Su Rao is one of those people who knows it well.
The cup swayed in his hand, and the wine rippled in circles.
Taking advantage of the moment of tasting the wine, Su Rao's eyes quickly glanced at Queen Rong and Siam Chi Shao.
The bright eyes of peach blossoms are full of dark colors, which are deep and difficult to see.
A war without gunpowder is about to begin?
After a moment, he looked at Zhao Lianxin again.
Zhao Lianxin was the concubine of Chi Shao of Siam. If she danced like a dancer in the main hall, it would be a disgrace to Chi Shao of Siam. Empress Rong did this deliberately, so she was a little curious about how she would deal with it.
"As the prince's concubine, I would like to ask the prince to tell me how to behave."
Zhao Lianxin stood up first and bowed her knees to Queen Rong, the courtesy of a noble lady, and then looked at Siam Yi Chi Shao with the words "Husband is the most important thing".
Wait for Siam Yi Chi Shao to speak.
Women have three obediences: to their father before they are married, to their husbands when married, and to their sons after their husbands die.
For a noble lady like Zhao Lianxin, she naturally holds herself to such standards and always keeps them in mind.
Her actions and actions were all reserved with a woman, and she did not show any anger at being humiliated, nor did she insult her status as a lady from a famous family. This allowed Empress Rong to find no fault at all.
With such a measured advance and retreat, if she hadn't fallen in love with Yunji, there would have been many good men asking for her to marry her. Maybe today she would live her own wonderful life instead of being trapped in a cocoon and end up marrying far away.
When it comes to fighting in the house and in the palace, and dealing with women's concerns, Su Rao really has to admit that Zhao Lianxin has definitely learned the essence in this aspect.
Zhao Lianxin's thoughts are not shallow at all, and as long as it is not related to Yunji, her intelligence is by no means weak.
Su Rao believed that even if Zhao Lianxin did not fully understand the undercurrent of the confrontation between Empress Rong and Siam Yi Chi Shao, she must have felt and noticed it.
She has been in Zhuxiang for several months. Although most of the time she has never stepped out of Prince Yi's palace and never left the door, she must have heard some things.
After all, there are quite a few maids and servants among Prince Yi, so naturally there will only be a lot more gossips from hearsay, and combined with my own feeling, I am afraid that it will be almost clear.
And her current actions and behavior are completely on Siam Yi Chi Shao's side, which also shows her intelligence.
She knows how to position herself in a way that will be beneficial to herself today.
Just as Su Rao guessed, Zhao Lianxin knew it very well.
When Zhao Lianxin came to Zhu Siam to pay her respects to Empress Rong for the first time, Empress Rong had a hidden intention to win over her, and there were verbal exchanges between her and Chi Shao of Siam. Zhao Lianxin felt it.
Zhao Lianxin has been taught by her doting aunt, Concubine Shu, since she was a child. She actually knows best how to hide a knife behind words and kill people invisible.
And Queen Rong and Chi Shao of Siam don't get along, so Princess Xinyi, who came for marriage, will inevitably become a pawn between Queen Rong and Chi Shao of Siam.
She must choose a camp, and only by standing in the right position can she live safely in Zhuxia.
No need to think too much, Zhao Lianxin will also choose Siam Yi Chi Shao.
Not to mention other things, just what Concubine Shu said before she got married, she also knew how to make a choice.
Moreover, because she had frequently visited Yun Palace since she was a child, Zhao Lianxin knew the concubines in the palace better.
After only a few contacts with Queen Rong, Zhao Lianxin knew what kind of person Queen Rong was. She would definitely get rid of the chess pieces once they no longer had any use value.
As for Siam Yi and Chi Shao, the two of them did not interfere with each other. Zhao Lianxin knew better that as long as she remained the concubine safely and did not negotiate with Queen Rong, she would be able to live peacefully in Siam.
These reasons are the fundamental reasons why Zhao Lianxin chose Siam Yi Chi Shao, but there is another inevitable reason, which is that Siam Yi Chi Shao is Zhao Lianxin's husband.
For women in ancient times, all honor and disgrace were tied to their husbands. When they were honored, they were both honored, and when they were harmed, they were both harmed.
From the day of the marriage, from the moment Zhao Lianxin became Siam Chi Shao's concubine, she was destined to be tied to Siam Chi Shao for the rest of her life. If something happened to Siam Chi Shao, then her side concubine would also be in trouble.
"Love...concubine..."
Zhao Lianxin waited for Siam Yi Chi Shao to speak. Siam Yi Chi Shao had not yet spoken, but Emperor Wei frowned at the side.
What trouble are you going to make?
Under the imperial desk, a hand with obvious joints grabbed Empress Rong's right wrist, and everyone heard the crisp sound of Empress Rong's wrist, which showed how strong it was.
Ruifeng's eyes fell on Queen Rong, her face seemed helpless, but her inner calm turned into a hidden anger.
No matter how Empress Rong treated him, Emperor Wei would not frown or get angry easily, only when it came to Siam Yi Chi Shao.
Only Emperor Wei would be angry.
"Wei Lang is angry again, how rare it is!"
A whisper.
Queen Rong seemed unable to feel the pain in her wrist.
"The emperor also likes singing and dancing, but he just asked Concubine Zhao to dance for a while. Didn't I also dance for the emperor? The emperor praised me for her stunning dance!"
The shy 'loving' couple fights secretly but doesn't show it on their faces, only their deep love.
After saying this, Empress Rong looked at Zhao Lianxin again, her square eyes slightly narrowed, her cold gaze even more fierce.
"Zhao...concubine..."
Father..., mother...
Siam Yaling, whose Highness was sitting, had a trace of sadness in her eyes. Now that she knew it, she could easily see the tension under this love and was about to stand up and speak...
"The emperor's sister-in-law wants to see the concubine dance?"
Siam Yi Chi Shao also spoke. I don't know if he noticed Siam Mu Yaling's reaction, or he didn't want Emperor Wei to anger this crazy woman like Queen Rong at this time.
"I am afraid that my concubine will disappoint the emperor's sister-in-law with this matter."
