Chapter 198 199: Pressing Song Zhaoyi step by step

  Song Yunzhao hardly ate anything, just put on a show.

  The queen mother was very unkind to her, and she didn't want to test the kindness of others.

  Yun Zhao pretended to put down the teacup, raised his head to meet Qin Xiyue's gaze, and smiled at her in the blink of an eye.

  Song Yunzhao:…

   It's you, heroine.

   She couldn't do it anyway.

  Song Yunzhao looked away with a wooden face, people who can be heroines are very psychologically strong, she feels ashamed.

   There were a lot of people at the banquet today, Yun Zhao didn’t see his aunt, and he didn’t really care about it. If the queen mother wanted to hit her from the heart and self-esteem like this, she really misunderstood her.

   Moreover, the eyes of people around her fell on her from time to time, which made her very impatient, but she still had to sit here patiently.

  Especially Mrs. Wu Xinhou's gaze was undisguised. Song Yunzhao thought it must be because of Song Qinghan, but their sisterhood was as thin as paper, and Mrs. Wu Xinhou was doomed to be disappointed no matter what purpose she played.

  She will not add insult to injury to Song Qinghan, nor will she lend a helping hand.

  The dinner was almost finished, but the atmosphere was even more lively. The people who came to the banquet did not come for the meal.

   After a while, I saw An Shutong changing into a dance skirt, holding a pipa in his hand, and performing in person.

  Song Yunzhao had a faint smile on his face. The queen mother really put in all her efforts for An Shutong. Letting her perform in front of these noble ladies was undoubtedly to give her a reputation for being versatile.

  Song Yunzhao really wants to leave. It is really meaningless to stay here, but the queen mother is different from the three concubines. She really can't just leave.

   "Song Zhaoyi, it's not as much fun in the palace as in the palace on weekdays. It's rare that it's so lively today, why don't we have a game?"

  Song Yunzhao turned his head to look at Qin Wanyi, only to see that she was holding dice in her hand, and the card table beside her was already set up, waiting for her to take a seat.

  Following Qin Wanyi yelling Song Yunzhao, it immediately attracted most people's attention, and their eyes were shining with the light of watching the excitement.

  Song Yunzhao didn't move, but he looked surprised, "I didn't expect Qin Wanyi to be proficient in this technique. It's really surprising. It's a pity that my family has been strictly controlled since I was a child. These things are not allowed to be touched at all. Qin Wanyi can only be disappointed."

  The smile on Qin Xiyue’s face did not change at all, and she said softly: “Song Zhaoyi misunderstood, and I have never played this way before, but I just learned a little bit from it. Song Zhaoyi is so smart, it is easier to learn after thinking about it. Besides, this is just a pastime.”

  Someone immediately echoed Qin Xiyue's words, "Yeah, Song Zhaoyi doesn't need to be nervous, it's just for fun, just play around."

   You said what I said, obviously to force Song Yunzhao to the poker table step by step. Song Yunzhao looked at Han Jinyi and the others with extremely ugly faces, and she shook her head slightly as she wanted to stand up.

  Standing up slowly while supporting his stomach, Song Yunzhao looked at the crowd and said slowly: "The imperial doctor said that I am pregnant and need to rest well. I am very tired after traveling from the capital to the palace for several days. I will come to the banquet non-stop tonight. You are all in good health, but I am afraid that my body will not be able to hold it."

   As she said that, she turned around and faced the empress dowager who was sitting high, "The empress dowager forgives the sin, the concubine really tried her best to support it until now, so I can only apologise, and go one step ahead, and I ask the empress dowager for permission."

  Song Yunzhao originally didn't want to confront the queen mother directly, but the queen mother is clearly targeting her at today's banquet. If she doesn't stand up, Han Jinyi and the others will fall into the pit. She can't give the queen mother a chance to stand up.

  She is a confident person, because she has an imperial heir in her belly, but they are not good.

  The atmosphere became tense in an instant, and the pipa in An Shutong's hand couldn't help but stop, and stepped back slightly to the side, looking frightened and bewildered.

  Concubine Zhuang looked at the empress dowager with a sullen face, then at Song Yunzhao, after a moment of silence, she spoke first; "Song Zhaoyi, the empress dowager also has good intentions, and she just came to the palace to let everyone have a good time. Otherwise, the empress dowager is old and why bother to hold a banquet. In the final analysis, it is for everyone's good, don't you think?"

   Concubine Zhuang nodded. The queen mother is old, and she is trying to keep Song Yunzhao from getting pregnant.

   "Since Concubine Zhuang said so, why don't you set an example and end in person, so as not to let others say that Concubine Zhuang only speaks, but she refuses to bow down." Song Yunzhao was afraid of the Queen Mother, but he was not afraid of Concubine Zhuang. Concubine Zhuang used the Queen Mother to restrain her, and she was not unable to fight back.

   As soon as the word "bow down" came out, Concubine Zhuang stood up in an instant.

   Concubine Shu chuckled, "Song Zhaoyi is right, Concubine Zhuang, you can't talk about others but refuse to end yourself, it's unacceptable."

  The empress dowager sat high, her face a little embarrassed, she never thought that Song Yunzhao would be so courageous, nor did she think that she would dare to drag concubine Zhuang into the water with her backhand.

   Concubine Zhuang is also useless, she can easily be taken over by others and lead the army.

   Ladies and gentlemen, look at me and look at you, none of them spoke easily, even Mrs. Wu Xinhou kept her mouth shut at this time. But her eyes turned around, hoping that Song Yunzhao would be crushed.

   Originally thought that after marrying Song Qinghan, Wu Xinhou's mansion would be able to take advantage of this favored concubine's position, but not only could the autumn wind fail, but it was because their sisters turned against each other and even Wu Xinhou's mansion was ashamed.

  Especially now that Song Qinghan doesn't know how Mrs. Song instructed her, and it is very difficult to catch her now, and she even doesn't care about her husband anymore, which is really not a good thing.

  Although Mrs. Wu Xinhou knew that the relationship between their sisters was not good, she didn't dare to do anything cruel to Song Qinghan. What if Song Zhaoyi did it for the sake of the Song family?

  So Madam Wu Xinhou's current mood can be imagined. The more she looks at Song Qinghan, the more upset she becomes, but she can't deal with her easily, and she can't take advantage of Song Zhaoyi's influence, so she naturally hopes for her bad luck.

  As long as Song Zhaoyi falls down, she will have no worries about cleaning up Song Qinghan.

  That's what she thought in her heart, and she also hoped that the queen mother would be more powerful, but she herself refused to take risks easily, and stared at Song Yunzhao with her mouth tightly shut.

  None of the mothers of Han Jinyi was invited to the banquet, but Mrs. Youxiang was there at the banquet. She sat there quietly and also looked at Song Zhaoyi.

   Concubine Shu came out to help, and Mrs. Lu, a mother, could only sigh in her heart. Just because her daughter had spoken out, she, a mother, could do nothing more.

  The atmosphere gradually became tense, and the empress dowager's face was about to lose its tension. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside, "The emperor is here!"
