At this moment, a young woman sitting behind Gu Tingchun and Simu Lan stood up.
Holding the wine glass in her hand, she said with a smile: "The daughter of the people only uses this glass to wish my emperor a long life, a healthy body, and a prosperous country."
"..."
As soon as she opened her mouth like this, the entire Nuan Pavilion fell silent.
This woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, was petite and exquisite, her skin was as white as jade, her big black eyes made her look like a porcelain doll, but she was somewhat similar to Ran Xiaoyu.
However, Ran Xiaoyu is delicate and pretty with a bit of coldness.
But she is delicate and delicate, especially in a delicate pink dress, more like a plum blossom in the ice and snow, so beautiful that people want to take care of her.
As soon as she opened her mouth, the brothers of the Gu family who were sitting on the other side frowned.
Someone whispered: "Mu Zhen, how could you—"
"How rude."
"I just ask the imperial concubine not to commit any crimes."
Seeing her like this, Zhu Feng frowned slightly: "Who are you?"
The woman walked around the table with a smile and walked to the front, prostrating to Zhu Feng Yingying: "Miss Si Muzhen, pay homage to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"... Si Muzhen?"
Zhu Feng said the name silently, then glanced at Simu Yun and Simu Lan on the other side, and immediately understood what was going on.
He turned to look at Nan Yan: "She is—"
Nan Yan sat behind the table, only smiled and said: "Little sister, long time no see."
Si Muzhen knelt on the ground and said softly: "Ministers pay homage to the imperial concubine."
Zhu Feng understood immediately.
This Si Muzhen is indeed the youngest daughter of the Si family.
He had heard Nanyan mention the people of the Si family before, but the ones who bullied her since she was a child were her elder brother Si Muyun and her older sister Simu Lan. As for this little girl, she didn't say much. She is at least five or six years younger than Nanyan, and she can't do anything bad, so that Zhu Feng has no impression of her at all.
Moreover, when Nanyan was canonized, she seemed to have been at her grandmother's house, that is, the Gu family.
So, I haven't seen it at all.
This time, the noble concubine visited relatives, her mother and elder sister moved to Beiping, so she naturally wanted the Gu family from Henan to come here.
However, he is quite courageous.
When no one dared to speak, she stood up instead of the Si family to toast the emperor and the noble concubine.
At this time, Si Muyun hurriedly stood up, kowtowed and said: "Little sister is reckless, please the emperor, please forgive the sin."
Zhu Feng said: "What is the crime?"
Everyone froze for a moment.
And Zhu Feng continued: "However, this glass of wine should not be toasted by you alone, but by all of you. You should also toast to the imperial concubine first."
That Si Muzhen, together with Si Muyun and the others beside him, were stunned for a moment.
Zhu Feng said: "Without the imperial concubine, how could you be where you are today?"
"..."
Everyone suddenly became hoarse.
When Nan Yan heard this, she also felt that it was too much, and said softly: "Your Majesty..."
However, after all, Si Muyun has been working with Gu Tingqiu for a long time, so he hurriedly said: "The emperor has taught you well."
After speaking, he immediately got up and raised the wine glass in his hand.
"The imperial concubine, I would like to congratulate the imperial concubine with this cup."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Tingchun and Simu Lan stood up and raised their glasses.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Okay."
After speaking, he raised his glass and took a sip.
This time it was over, and Si Muyun immediately pulled his little sister back to the seat, just as a play outside had already started, everyone's attention was on the outside, and one hand of Si Muyun pressed Si Muyun hard. Looking at Mu Zhen's shoulder, she whispered, "What are you doing?"
Si Muzhen raised her head, her black and white eyes widened, her face innocent and innocent.
"What's wrong with brother?"
"..."
"The imperial concubine finally came back to meet with us. Besides, the emperor accompanied her to go home to visit relatives. You don't talk. I, as a younger sister, toast to them. What's wrong?"
"..."
"You can't stand in the cold, let no one talk, then maybe it's some crime!"
"..."
"Besides, that's the emperor and the imperial concubine!"
"As long as you know!"
Although it was icy and snowy outside, Si Muyun was covered in cold sweat, soaking his close clothes.
He panted slightly and said, "It's not like you don't know that the imperial concubine has been in her hands since she was a child. It can be said that the lives of us are all in her hands. Before the eldest sister offended her at the canonization ceremony, she went to the laundry bureau to wash clothes." Clothes that have been around for a year."
"..."
"Nowadays, it's hard for her to let go of the past. At this time, she must be careful in everything she says and does, and she must not offend her again."
"..."
"Have you forgotten what uncle told you before?"
"I haven't forgotten."
"Didn't forget you still—"
"I'm toasting, isn't it just to wish the emperor and the imperial concubine well, there's nothing wrong with that."
As she said that, Si Muzhen had a smile on her face, the kind of innocent and charming smile unique to young girls, she looked at the person sitting above, and said: "So, His Majesty is like this, I have been waiting for you before At grandma's house, there is no chance to see her."
"..."
"I don't even know that the imperial concubine is so honorable."
"..."
"Speaking of which, the eldest sister was originally selected as a candidate, but the eldest sister was timid. She was afraid that once entering the palace, it would be as deep as the sea, and she would refuse to go to life or death, so she asked the second sister to make up for it; The second sister made it up, then now—”
Having said this, Si Muyun's face became even more serious, and he glanced up.
Fortunately, the opera outside was full of gongs and drums, the emperor and the noble concubine were all focused on the stage, and didn't notice her speaking. He grabbed Si Muzhen's arm vigorously, and said in a low voice: "You still Nonsense! Do you think this house is too quiet?"
"elder brother-"
Si Muzhen was pinched so painfully by him, she pursed her lips and said coquettishly, "Why are you so angry?"
"..."
"I just said a few words, and I didn't really want to do anything."
However, even though she said that, Simu Lan, who was sitting in front of her, turned blue when she heard these words.
Indeed, ever since Si Nanyan was canonized as a noble concubine, she had been thinking this way all the time.
If it wasn't for the fact that she withdrew from the candidate and let Si Nanyan enter the palace as a candidate, then now, this honor should belong to her
How can I use this? Look at her face.
The more she thought about it, the more smoky her face became. Holding the wine glass in her hand, she kept pushing hard, and the wine she just drank in her stomach was churning, and she was almost about to spit it out.
