The Beautiful Sword
Banqueting

Happy Reading's.

***

Now the Royal family and the concubines are enjoying the banquets and performances.

The purpose of this banquet was to strengthen the relationship between them, especially the concubines. Jia felt no problem with the purpose of this banquet, but not for Consort Meng.

Just imagine, after concubine Meng occupied herself. He immediately looked at Jia with a look of 'Receive My Retaliation'. And that look lasted until this time.

Jia did feel goosebumps himself sometimes and he remembered concubine Feng's words back then, about him already offending Consort Meng.

'Ck, this will be quite troublesome' Jia complained inwardly.

After the dance group was over, the maids started serving some food. Indeed, when their dance performances are only served a glass of tea which of course there is something veiled.

Jia tau, this is the idea of the Queen Mother. He was eager to see the expressions of the concubines after the prayer ceremony and afterwards they were served only a glass of tea.

But Ibu Suri did this not for fun, he did it to remember anyone who had to get another manners class. Yep lucky Liang ever told me this.

Jia is also sometimes very impressed with the figure of the Queen Mother, she is very wise and neutral plus her extraordinary assertiveness.

"Your Majesty, this time I think the harvest will be plentiful" the Queen Mother said in a chat.

"Mother is right, because many flowers are blooming in the palace" Reply Liang as he looked at Jia.

Jia suddenly glared sharply, so that Liang did not look at him.

"Hahaha, you are right Your Majesty plus there is already a bud that will soon bear fruit" continued the Queen Mother with a laugh.

Liang greeted him with a smile.

Fung who knew that meant immediately smiled proudly, while concubine Meng inflamed in her place.

Jia elbowed Xiao who was chuckling beside him.

"Stop or you'll get in trouble" Jia said.

Xiao replied with a mischievous smile. Properly looking for trouble with concubine Meng at this time was not a good idea.

"But, I hope the shoots will increase. Isn't that the Queen Mother?" Ask Empress.

"You True Empress, the more shoots the better" replied the Queen Mother.

Skavers.

Now things turned around, the proud Consort Meng and the inflamed Consort Ying.

Jia actually wanted to laugh, but she had to try to laugh even though today's show was very funny

The Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Empress were like her narrators and, Consort Meng and Consort Ying were the actors.

Liang held his laughter in place, but it seemed like the two princes could not help but laugh. Their faces were intentionally covered by the fan they were carrying but Jia was sure they were laughing.

'Her voice' Jia said, his gaze turned to the others. Not much different from others also hold back laughter. Even Consort Hua was also seen holding back a laugh.

"This lady is exactly what the Emperor said" Whispered Yuan.

"You're right, this is very interesting" Jia replied.

That night as usual Jia came to serve.

"Your Majesty can't be absent for the banquet" Jia complained, he had already imagined how bored he was just sitting still.

"You just follow it first, there will be an interesting show" Liang replied.

"But..."

"Bawel" said Liang Sharp.

Jia just pouted in response.

"Hamba has heard that the flower can only become a bud if given a suitable powder" Consort Feng said.

Jia Quietly.

"What do you mean Concubine Feng?" Ask Empress.

"The sprout can only be a bud if either the bunga or the powder is suitable, because if a bunga that is always given the powder has not sprouted then something is wrong" Consort Feng explained.

Prince Huan glared, he did not expect one of his elder brother's concubines to be this brave.

Concubine Meng smirked in satisfaction seeing Jia just speechless.

'Hold Jia, Hold' Rapal Jia in Heart so that he does not retaliate.

"Hahaha, Big Brother Feng you are great at storytelling" Praise Xiao.

Xiao stood up and asked Permission to speak.

"Sister Feng, sister's sense for brother's words is too shallow. Because it is as if you blame the Bungga, because sprouting or not budding does not affect the beauty and superiority of the flower itself" explained Xiao.

"W-what?" Stuttering Jiao Feng stuttered.

Xiao's words were not only to defend Jia, but he was to defend the concubines who were not yet pregnant. Even Xiao also defended Jiao Feng himself.

Prok Prok Prok Prok Prok.

Liang clapped, he stood up.

"Well, I don't think I have a great concubine" said Liang.

"What do you think of the Queen Mother?" Ask Liang.

"Hahaha, you're right The 7th Concubine is indeed amazing.she should be rewarded" the Queen Mother said in admiration.

"Well, Consort Ying, I'll present you with a pair of jade earrings"

Xiao immediately walked before Liang and knelt down. A eunuch came with a box, stood up and handed the brain to Xiao.

"It is an honor to receive a gift from His Majesty, I am very grateful" Xiao said.

Liu and Jia smiled in awe, both of them did not expect Xiao to dare to refute Jiao's famous sharp speech and sarcasm.

While Fung Ying was staring at his sister with an indecipherable look.

Concubine Meng was now the sharp manatao Xiao who had returned to the seat.

'I'll make the calculations later' Threatened Consort Meng inwardly.

The banquet resumed although sometimes there is still insinuations quip. But now Jia just sat quietly listening, when Xiai put up a fit for her and her brother.

Degs...

'Sial, I'm off guard'

Jia's body instantly signals that her food or drink is sabotaged. He immediately inhaled the aroma of tea and food.

'This, herbal paralysis'

Herbal paralysis is very powerful to paralyze the body at least for a night, but the work of this drug is quite slow.

'This must have been Concubine Meng, I remember there was going to be a dinner. Yep, he wants to humiliate me'

Jia's eyes were closed trying to restrain his heart race in order for the spread of this herb to be slower, at least he had to hide himself after this banquet.

"Mrs is it okay?" Yuan Whispers.

"Yuan, meet Miu immediately and make a neutralizer!" Reply Jia

"You poisoned?"

"You take it easy, I can still survive"

Although Yuan was very worried but he immediately went to the Meihua residence to deliver a message from Jia.

Jia's eyes stared intently at Consort Meng but concubine Meng pretended not to know.

While Prince Jing who caught that something happened to Jia immediately whispered to Liang.

Liang directly stared at Jia who was trying to suppress the spread.

"I think this Supper we're finishing now. The concubines must also prepare for the evening banquet" Liang said.

The Empress stared strangely at Liang, but she also immediately supported Liang's remarks.

Soon the royal family, the concubines immediately returned to their respective residences.

Jia also immediately told her brother to go with Fung, trying not to make Liu worry.

After his brother left, he immediately walked hurriedly to his residence via a secret passage.

But in the middle of the journey his gaze became dark, but he did not faint but someone closed his eyes with a piece of Cain. Not long after his body felt floating.

Jia could not scream, her body began to be paralyzed. He could only hope for Liang's promise to protect him.

Hope so.
