Chapter 192 193: You don't want to see Song Yunzhao proud, do you?
When family members visit the concubine in the palace, they are generally very low-key, just like when the eldest lady came to visit Yun Zhao, she came and left quietly.
After she entered the palace, she had confronted Concubine Wan several times. To be honest, this kind of talented woman with a fairy spirit is very proud, and she usually doesn't do such down-to-earth things.
Moreover, Concubine Wan is different from Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Shu. She doesn't like to go out or socialize with others, and she presents an image of a house girl who is isolated from others.
The last time Concubine Wan came forward in the matter of Shouci Palace, it was also because Nanny Yu talked about Nanny Nie, which caused a series of reactions.
So what now?
Before there was no queen mother, the concubine would meet her family when she wanted to see her family. Now that there is a queen mother, Xiangxue said that Concubine Wan asked the queen mother for permission before letting her family enter the palace.
As far as the relationship between Song Yunzhao and the Queen Mother is concerned, it may not be easy to see his family members.
"I heard from the little maid next door that there was no intention of having a banquet, but when Mrs. Yao came to visit Concubine Wan, I didn't expect Concubine Zhuang to come to Roufu Palace with a group of people. Now they got together and made a fuss for Concubine Wan to treat guests, so there was a banquet."
Song Yunzhao thought to himself that there is no such a coincidence, Roufu Palace is next to her Wangyou Palace, and she didn't invite her neighbor to the banquet there, so it was obvious to isolate her and make her look ugly.
This feeling is very subtle, just like forming a gang to isolate a certain classmate in school. There is no real harm, but the blow to the soul is quite large. If a person is weak in heart, he may be depressed.
Xiangxue tried to downplay the matter as much as possible, just because she didn't want to annoy her master because of this matter, it would be bad for her health.
But looking at the expression on the master's face, Xiangxue also felt a little lost, she thought softly and said: "Master, why don't the servants go out and talk to them, and let their voices be quieter."
"I didn't build the roads in the palace, so I can control who walks or not. Is there a big noise? If it gets out, your master's reputation will be raised again." Song Yunzhao sneered.
The leader of Concubine Zhuang is indeed the person who joined hands with the Queen Mother, trying to find ways to make himself unhappy.
But it's also strange, the last time about An Shutong, she sent someone to Zhaoyang Palace to let Concubine Zhuang pay attention to Qin Xiyue's absence from the main hall for a while, she was not in a hurry to trouble Qin Xiyue, why did she focus on her again?
She still wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and watch Concubine Zhuang and Qin Xiyue fight at each other, and have a happy meal.
As a result, other people's melons were not eaten, but my own was eaten first.
Are you angry?
"Master, you don't need to worry about such a small matter, it's just a banquet. It means seeing that you have the emperor's favor, and others are jealous of you."
Song Yunzhao was lying when he said he wasn't angry, but he wasn't angry when he said it was true, he just had a breath that was stuck in his throat.
"You are right. I am the emperor's favorite concubine. How can I be angry because others are jealous of me?"
Xiangxue smiled when she heard what her master said: "That's how the palace banquets go back and forth. Master is pregnant, so it's really a waste of time and energy to go. It's better not to go."
"That's the reason." Song Yunzhao waved his hand to let Xiangxue back down.

In the Roufu Palace, silk and bamboo are tactfully played, and there are clusters of colorful clothes and flowers, and there is a lot of noise everywhere.
Concubine Wan is in good spirits today. The light purple dress on her body highlights her nobility and arrogance. She shuttles among the guests coming and going. The cloak hanging on her arm sways gently with her footsteps. There is a strong smile between her eyebrows and eyes, which is a little less alienated than usual.
Mrs. Yao saw that her daughter was in a very good state of mind today, and she was slightly relieved. Ever since Song Zhaoyi was added to the palace, her daughter seemed to have lost her previous enthusiasm.
Seeing that the former daughter seems to be back today, can Mrs. Yao be unhappy?
She really came here today at the right time, what Concubine Zhuang said was right, at this time, she really needs to give her more encouragement.
Concubine Wan is in a good mood at this time, and it seems that she has returned to the past. When people see her, they come to talk to her and surround her. She is the focus of attention in the crowd.
But when did things change?
Thinking about it carefully, it was after Song Yunzhao entered the palace.
The glory that belonged to the third concubine was taken away by her bit by bit.
Concubine Zhuang glanced at Concubine Wan in the distance, walked slowly to Mrs. Yao, and said with a smile: "Madam, how are you?"
Mrs. Yao looked at the smile on Concubine Zhuang's face very sincerely, "What Concubine Zhuang said makes sense, I haven't seen Concubine Wan so happy for a long time."
"Concubine Wan's heart is pure and straightforward, she doesn't seem to be deceitful, with Madam's help, Concubine Wan must be able to cheer up soon." Concubine Zhuang laughed.
Mrs. Yao nodded slightly, "I would also like to thank Concubine Zhuang for her help."
"Mrs. Yao is being polite, it's just helping each other." Concubine Zhuang said softly, "Does Madam know about the summer vacation?"
Madam Yao looked at Concubine Zhuang calmly and shook her head, "My wife is far outside the palace, and I have never heard of the matter of escaping the summer heat. Are you going to go out of the palace this year?"
Concubine Zhuang sneered in her heart. In the past two days, the courtiers have written letters, especially Gu Enhou asked the emperor to take filial piety as the first reason to invite the queen mother to go to the palace to escape the summer heat on the grounds of worrying about the queen mother's health. How could Mrs. Yao not know about such a thing.
"It turns out Madam doesn't know yet. It seems that Yao Xiang didn't tell Madam." Concubine Zhuang chuckled, "I need Madam's help in this matter, so we can settle the matter."
Mrs. Yao was not angry when she heard Concubine Zhuang's thorny words, but instead said with a smile, "My master seldom talks about outside affairs when he returns home. These days, he is worried about Song Zhaoyi's father's reinstatement. How can he have time to talk to me about these things?"
Concubine Zhuang's heart moved when she heard these words, and she looked sideways at Mrs. Yao, "Master Song is said to have injured her leg, so it will be healed so soon?"
"Yeah, a hundred days of injury, it's really a bit quick to heal." Mrs. Yao sighed following Concubine Zhuang's words.
Concubine Zhuang looked at Mrs. Yao, "It's the reinstatement of the injured, and the reinstatement of the official. I don't know what bothers Master Yao?"
"It seems that the empress really doesn't know that the emperor intends to let Mr. Song be the servant of the household department."
Concubine Zhuang's face is a little tense, Minister of the Household Department?
If Song Nanzhen was a servant of the household department, he would be considered a well-known Beijing official in the capital, so this matter would naturally not work.
Song Yunzhao is already so beautiful, Song Nanzhen must not go any further.
"I'm afraid Madam told me these things unintentionally?" Zhuang Concubine looked at Madam Yao and said.
Mrs. Yao looked helpless, "Ms. Zhuang Concubine, this minister's wife is nothing more than a married woman, and she is powerless about such a thing, but I don't think your empress is willing to see this matter come true, right?"
If Song Nanzhen became the servant of the household department, it would be tantamount to the emperor inserting a nail into the six departments, and Song Zhaoyi would hold a heavier position in the emperor's heart because of his father.
