After the winter snow, the plum blossoms bloomed, and at the queen's birthday banquet, the plum fragrance was tangy.

In order to meet the occasion, the imperial cooks in the palace also tried their best to use these plum blossoms to make a lot of pastries and delicacies.

"It seems that today is not only my birthday banquet, but also a plum blossom banquet."

The queen smiled slightly, and Xiao Juan beside her immediately answered:

"Auspicious snow heralds a prosperous year. My mother's birthday party this year happens to be after the winter snow. It seems that God blesses me."

This remark made the emperor on one side elated.

"That's a good point! From now on, my Ming Dynasty will surely have good weather and good weather every year, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe!"

Immediately shouted: "Long live the emperor! Long live the empress!"

"You Aiqings are flat!"

"..."

All the courtiers gave presents to the empress, and Chu Yao was dazzled by all kinds of treasures.

"Hmph! How ignorant!"

Chu Xin's cold snort came from the side, and Chu Yao turned her head to look and saw Chu Lian who was blushing with embarrassment. What Chu Xin said just now was obviously aimed at her.

Chu Xin's voice was not low, so even the ladies from the official family looked over.

"Who is this? Miss from the Chu family too?"

"Xu is the fourth young lady of the Chu family."

"No wonder, she is a concubine! No wonder she looks like she has never seen the world."

"..."

These comments made Chu Lian's complexion even uglier.

"I'm not……"

Chu Lian defended in a low voice, and began to regret sitting here with Chu Xin.

The way she lowered her head and bit her lip greatly pleased Chu Xin.

"She's not my fourth sister, she's my second uncle's daughter, cousin Chu Lian."

Some people reacted quickly, remembering that they had heard about what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion from their family members, and they all knew that Chu Yu's current official position was only at the sixth rank, so Chu Lian's thoughts sitting here were worthy of scrutiny.

Sensing the contempt and ridicule of all kinds of gazes around her, Chu Lian remained silent, but her eyes were sparkling.

Chu Yao looked at Liu Shi and Chu Xin's complacent faces, and sneered in her heart, but she said doubtfully:

"It's not the second sister, do you insist on bringing your cousin to sit here? He also said that you can see Cousin Ming clearly when you sit here."

Chu Xin's face turned pale, and she glared at Chu Yao.

This fool was born to be at odds with her!

"Xin'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, come forward."

Concubine Qi spoke suddenly, and Xiao Beiming beside her also looked at Chu Xin with a faint smile.

Chu Xin blushed, and walked over under the envious or jealous eyes of everyone.

At this moment, only the queen is left here, and the emperor has left with many courtiers.

Seeing Concubine Qi like this, the queen just curled her lips in disdain, then turned to look at Kang Qiaoqiao.

"Qiaoqiao, I heard that you were injured some time ago, are you feeling better?"

Chu Yao ate the plum blossom crystal cake, and when she heard the word Kang Qiaoqiao, she immediately thought of what Xiao Chen had said to her before, and looked at Kang Qiaoqiao.

The woman was looking at the queen with a flattered face, and saluted:

"Thank you Empress Empress for your concern, the courtier's daughter is fine now."

The queen nodded, and quickly left with a group of ladies.

Obviously, it was to give these young people a chance to see each other, and the most important thing was for the prince to see the side concubine.

And the queen already has a candidate in mind.

After the queen and others left, Chu Lian couldn't wait to run to Qi's side.

On the other side, the prince walked up to Kang Qiaoqiao.

Chu Yao took a glance and then withdrew her gaze. There were also a few people around her.

It was Bai Qinghe, Li Wan and others.

"Sister Chu, let's also go to the Imperial Garden. Do you want to come with us?"

Bai Qinghe was quite thoughtful, seeing that there was no one around Chu Yao, she immediately brought her friends over.

Chu Yao was noncommittal, but still got up and followed them.

Today, Xiao Chen said that the illness did not come, and she also felt that it was meaningless, not to mention that Xing'er followed her every step of the way.

After turning around, she could still feel the fiery gaze behind her.

Although the time is short, you don't need to look back to know that it is King Ning.

She was slightly annoyed, this man is really getting more and more wanton!

"What is the prince looking at?"

Kang Qiaoqiao dismissed the prince who had been sticking to her and walked to Xiao Ying's side with a blushing face.

Xiao Ying looked at the girl's flushed face, feeling a little bored in his heart.

"It's nothing, the empress said that the plum blossoms in the imperial garden are blooming very well, why don't you go and have a look?"

"Okay!"

Kang Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up, she twisted her handkerchief with her hands hanging down, extremely shy.

No wonder my mother said that after liking someone, she will make herself not like herself.

How could she, who was cheerful in the past, have such ups and downs because of someone's words?

In the imperial garden, the queen and concubine Qi fought openly and secretly from time to time, and Chu Xin, who was by his side, could feel the turmoil between the two.

After seeing Chu Yao, something flashed in Chu Xin's eyes, and he whispered to Concubine Qi:

"Concubine Qi, I'm going to see my third sister."

She couldn't wait to get out of this place.

Concubine Qi felt a headache when she thought of Chu Yao, she frowned and said:

"Go ahead, take care, lest she cause trouble."

Chu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly left.

She said to find Chu Yao, but she really stood not far from Chu Yao and stared at her.

Just after a while, I got together with my friends.

Chu Xin had been living in Liu's house before, and her cousin Bai Ruoyan, who followed her mother back to her mother's house for a short time, also got closer to her cousin, and after a while, she went to look for Bai Ruoyan.

Bai Ruoyan is currently having a heated fight with Xiao Juan, and after picking up Chu Xin, she is afraid that she will offend Xiao Juan.

"This is the Second Miss Chu. She is really beautiful. No wonder the Third Emperor asked Father for a marriage decree for you."

Chu Xin likes people to say that Xiao Beiming loves her the most. Hearing this, he immediately laughed, and the original hostility towards Xiao Juan dissipated.

"Princess, don't make fun of the courtiers."

The three of them quickly chatted without any grievances, and the content was naturally about Bai Qinghe, Chu Yao and others.

During the dinner, the queen called Kang Qiaoqiao to her side alone, it was Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.

Chu Yao glanced at the prince, then at Xiao Chen who was still smiling but his eyes were full of gloom, rubbing his chin and waiting for a good show.

Kang Ningbo's mansion is indeed a sweet pastry, and it depends on who the emperor will give this sweet pastry to.

But seeing Kang Qiaoqiao's ugly face, and even bluntly rejecting the queen, Chu Yao felt that this sweet pastry had her own ideas, and I'm afraid she wouldn't follow other people's wishes.

Sure enough, when the dinner was over, the emperor's will came down.

The candidate for the crown prince's side concubine is someone else. As for Kang Qiaoqiao, the emperor did not give her a marriage.

Not long after the queen's birthday, it was approaching the end of the year.

Chu Xin had already been picked up, but Mrs. Liu had been trapped in the yard, saying that it was to teach her some things about being in charge of the house, and there was no time to trouble Chu Yao for a while.

"Miss, these are the winter clothes Madam sent, and some charcoal slaves have been put in the yard."

Myolie suddenly came in with a pile of clothes.

Chu Yao looked at the things in her hand, but did not speak.

Winter was almost over, and Mrs. Liu sent winter clothes, which was really "just in time".

Nan Rong took it and was about to put it in another cabinet, but was grabbed by Chu Yao.

She moved her nose and smelled the scent of animal powder on it.

Chu Yao tore the clothes to the ground, and stomped hard a few times.

"Ugly to death!"

The clothes quickly split open, exposing the weeds inside.

This is not a winter coat made of cotton at all. If you really wear this coat in the winter, you will be frozen and stupid.

Xing'er obviously didn't expect it either, she looked at the weeds blankly, and there were insects crawling out of them.

"This……"

Before he finished speaking, he heard various voices outside the door, as well as Liu's cursing.

"Chu Yao, you scourge, why don't you die?! You bastard, scourge, little bitch! If something happens to Xiong'er today, I will definitely not let you go!"

She had just distributed winter clothes and charcoal to the mansion, and sent her son's winter clothes to see if his son was getting better.

Who knew that just after going to Chuxiong's yard, he saw Chuxiong sleepy and fell asleep after a while.

After that, she thought about waking him up to try the clothes fit, but found that he was out of breath.

In a moment of urgency, Liu almost fainted.

After ordering her maid to find the master quickly, Mrs. Liu came looking for him aggressively.

When Chu Yao brought Nan Rong out, she saw Liu Shihong rushing towards him with red eyes.

This was the first time she saw Liu Shi being so impulsive, like a manic tigress.

She took a few steps back, avoiding Mr. Liu, who fell directly to the ground.

"Pull!"

All the clothes in Nanrong's hands were thrown on Liu's head.

"Ma'am, the servant didn't do it on purpose."

Although he apologized, Nanrong didn't show any fear on his face, and he didn't pick up the clothes.

Mrs. Liu was so angry that her brain hurt, and she didn't care about Nanrong's identity, so she immediately cursed:

"You bitch, get out of here!"

I don't know since when, this fool seems to have changed into a different person.

In the past, it was just being ridiculed by others, but now, it disturbed the Xiangfu's peace.

She waved her hand and said to the nuns behind her: "Bring me this little bitch to the young master's yard, and let her kneel there to atone for my sins!"

The nuns immediately got up and carried Chu Yao to Wang Chuxiong's yard.

Chu Yao happened to be too lazy to move around, so she let them take her there.

Only Myolie pleaded with Liu Shi symbolically, but was kicked away by Liu Shi.

In the end, he just followed the same way as Nanrong.

When they arrived at Chuxiong's courtyard, Chu Yao was sure that Chuxiong was basically hopeless.

Thinking of what this person did before, she didn't feel sympathetic at all, but when she was surprised, she saw Mrs. Chu hurried over with the support.

"What's going on? What's wrong with Xiong'er?"

When she heard the servant girl report that Chu Xiong was out of breath, she almost didn't bring it up.

Only then did Liu start crying with red eyes.

"Xiong'er, he..."

Before he could speak, Chu Xiang walked in quickly, followed by the imperial physician from last time.

"Doctor, hurry up! Let's see how my son is doing?"

Mrs. Liu hastily changed her words and brought the man in.
