"She is now hiding in the Old Summer Palace and is unwilling to return to the palace, but she cannot stay away from the Forbidden City forever."

"The New Year is only a few months away. When the time comes, I will naturally let her know the price of harming me!"

In her words, she actually put the blame for her miscarriage directly on De Guiren.

Bai Yin did not refute this.

"Yes, Madam. Before I left, I warmed up a bowl of red date snow frog for you. It must be the best time to enjoy it now. Shall we go back early?"

Zhaopin nodded sadly and said no more.

...

The next morning, all the concubines from the six palaces gathered in Jingren Palace.

At this moment, they could clearly see that three people were missing from the hall, and people like Chu Da Ying felt extremely regretful.

If I had known the situation was like this now, I should have begged the emperor to take me to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat!

Amidst the greetings from everyone, Qingying helped Xiuxia sit down.

"No courtesy, please get up."

After exempting everyone from formalities, he smiled and said, "It's fine for the sisters who stayed in the palace, but the sisters who went to the garden with you are so anxious to come and pay their respects. You must be exhausted."

"Your Majesty, the Empress, cares for us. We are aware of this, but we must not neglect our respects to you. Your Majesty, please do not worry about this. After a night's rest, we will have recovered."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu spoke first with a smile.

Concubine Chun beside her also laughed and said, "Sister Shufei is right. We have been cared for by the Empress for a long time. It is just a day's carriage and horses. What is it? Your Majesty, don't worry about us."

"That's good, then I'm relieved."

After Qingying finished speaking, Zhaopin stood up with a booklet in her hand.

When he reached the center, he knelt and said, "Your Majesty, the first important thing you need to do after your return is the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet."

"Because Your Majesty and the sisters were previously in the garden, there were many inconveniences. Therefore, I received the Emperor's instructions and began preparing for the palace banquet first."

"It's just that I'm young and inexperienced, and I'm prone to omissions. The Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet is a major event that can't afford to go wrong, so I beg the Empress to show some mercy and personally preside over this matter."

After saying this, Zhaopin slightly bent her body.

He held the booklet high in his hand and presented it to Qingying.

After these words were spoken, everyone around stared at the booklet in Zhaopin's hand with some intense gaze.

There is naturally some profit in organizing a palace banquet.

But Concubine Hui snorted coldly.

"Useless is useless, but you insist on using youth as an excuse. What's the matter? Do you think both the Empress and I are old?"

Hui Fei's words surprised everyone.

This angle of looking for trouble is really hard to...

Easy to think of.

"Please forgive me, Concubine Hui. I did not mean that."

Zhaopin's expression remained unchanged, and she spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, which made Huifei almost fall over in anger.

Qingying also felt that Huifei's behavior was a bit unreasonable.

She gestured for Xiu Xia to come forward and take the booklet, then said, "We are all sisters. I understand what you mean."

As he said this, he gave Concubine Hui a soothing look, which stopped the other party from speaking again.

He casually flipped open the book and took a look, then raised his head and said, "Why is Concubine Zhao still kneeling? Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Queen."

As soon as he stood up, Qingying's voice rang out again.

"I have read the booklet that my sister prepared. Everything needed for the palace banquet is perfect. You are indeed from a noble family. What you said before was really self-deprecating."

Concubine Zhao frowned slightly and immediately responded, "Your Majesty, your praise is too great. I really don't deserve it..."

But Qingying didn't give the other party any more excuses.

She interrupted him directly and said, "Since the emperor trusts my sister, I naturally trust you too. This Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet will be hosted by you."

"Don't worry, sister. Once this is done, the Emperor will naturally reward you accordingly."

Then, she handed the booklet to Xiuxia, "Sister, you have been standing for a long time. Please sit down quickly. Xiuxia, return the booklet to Zhaopin."

Having said that, there is no room for rejection for Concubine Zhao.
