One by one, they told each other about their family, and then gave their age and maiden name!
The queen listened very seriously, and she also kept in mind the appearance and good manners of the woman. She would check back later to see if she had married into any family, so as to pave the way for the prince.
Concubine Yuan looked calm and calm, but in fact she was observing carefully!
The other concubines dozed off and held on.
After talking one round after another, when it was the turn of the woman in pink to speak, the eyes of the Queen and Concubine Yuan lit up.
The woman in front of her was about fourteen years old, and she was in her best years. Although her appearance was not stunning, she was quiet and gentle, with a bookish aura about her.
None of this is important, what is important is her identity.
The daughter of the richest businessman in the south of the Yangtze River has been an imperial businessman for three generations. Although her ancestors were not crowned kings or marquises, their family business is huge and their financial resources are strong!
This woman's father has a very good relationship with the emperor. Every time the emperor goes to Jiangnan, he stays at her house. That's why today's birthday banquet for the Queen Mother will allow this woman to enter the palace.
Now that the prince's foothold has not been established, it will only be good for the prince if he marries a woman whose family has huge financial resources.
"Come on, come up and let me take a look. Your little face is really adorable."
Concubine Yuan waved her sleeve handkerchief and spoke with a slight smile.
Xiao Mo'er was stunned, then walked up with small steps on lotus flowers, and bowed Yingying: "Xiao Mo'er has met Yuan Fei."
Her well-behaved appearance made Concubine Yuan happy. She saw a thin layer of makeup on her fair face and two jeweled hairpins in her bun.
The dress is not gorgeous but not tacky either, with a sense of elegance in her heart.
No matter how you look at her, you can't tell that she is a businessman's daughter.
"Okay, okay, Miss Mo'er is adorable at first glance. I like her very much."
Concubine Yuan clapped her hand. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. Now she wanted to go to the emperor to issue an order.
Seeing how eager Concubine Yuan was, the queen on the side suddenly understood, wow, it turns out that Concubine Yuan was also thinking about this.
It seems that her thoughts are still there and she still wants her son to be the emperor!
Totally impossible!
The queen silently glanced at Concubine Yuan and sneered: "Concubine Yuan may have fallen in love with the daughter of the Xiao family."
She asked straightforwardly and with a hint of joking, and there was no trace of anger.
Concubine Yuan was stunned. From what she knew about the queen, if the queen said this, it meant that she also had a crush on Xiao Mo'er.
Her hands tightened. Normally she could give in, but this was the prince of the relationship. Even if she completely offended the queen, she would still give in!
"Miss Xiao is well-educated and reasonable. I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her." Concubine Yuan smiled, her voice was crisp, but she was indescribably lazy and charming.
She was obviously talking nonsense, and Xiao Moer also took a fancy to her.
There is no shortage of wealthy families in the imperial city, but there are not many families with such strong financial resources.
Xiao Mo'er's face was red, and she clearly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, but she could only stand there and bear the low pressure from the Queen and Concubine Yuan.
The other daughters looked at the daughter of a mere Jia Shang, and in the eyes of the Queen and Concubine Yuan, some were jealous, some were envious, and some were disdainful.
Yun Qingwan sneered and glanced at Yun Shiyue, who had a worried look on her face. If the queen hadn't been here, she would have started sarcastically.
Taking advantage of the fact that she is now the Crown Princess, she shows off her power, but the Crown Prince's woman has never been divorced. No, the Queen has another idea, which is really sad.
"Okay, let's continue!"
The queen frowned, with easily visible anger in her eyes, and did not continue the topic. Concubine Yuan wanted to argue with her, but she didn't even look at how much she weighed.
The woman who spoke next was wearing a sky blue gauze skirt, and her long black hair was tied into a high bun. She is only fourteen or fifteen years old and extremely beautiful.
Her face was filled with condescension. As soon as she walked out, the queen's expression changed: "Miss Murong needs no introduction."
Concubine Xian's niece made her feel annoyed at first glance.
Murong Shuqing was about to speak, but was interrupted by the Queen, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Her father was the Marquis of Wu'an, and although he was only in name only, her mother was the emperor's cousin Princess Luoyao.
The most favored Concubine Xian in the harem was her aunt. Concubine Xian was the emperor's favorite, and the Murong family was naturally also prominent.
Murong Shuqing was very beautiful again and was used to being sought after in the capital. Today when she saw the Queen being so disrespectful, she couldn't help but feel angry, but she didn't show it on her face. She covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Yes."
But she kept stopping her in her heart, thinking that the queen was so great, she was no more favored than her aunt.
snort!
When your cousin becomes the emperor, you can hold your son and cry in the cold palace!
Murong Shuqing felt much better when she thought about it.
The wealthy ladies in the pavilion have almost finished talking at this time.
Yun Tingruo disappeared without anyone noticing.
The sky is cloudless, and cicadas are chirping on the branches, accompanied by the sound of fish jumping across the water, intertwining into a summer movement.
However, no one in the pavilion was in the mood to appreciate it.
At this time, a fat and white eunuch hurriedly ran out of the pavilion. Yuan Bao's face was full of blessings: "I see the Queen."
The queen took a closer look and saw that it was the little eunuch serving beside the queen mother. She reached out and touched the hairpin in her hair: "Xiao Fuzi, what's the matter?"
"In reply to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother asked the Queen Mother and the concubines and ladies present to go to the East Tower to listen to the play."
The Queen Mother had spoken. How could the Queen dare to disobey her? She immediately waved her hand and said, "Go to the East Tower."
The crowd headed toward the east tower in a mighty manner.
Xiao Mo'er walked carefully behind her. She was alone and not familiar with the ladies in the imperial city, so she naturally went her own way.
Unexpectedly, an arm suddenly stretched out from beside her and held her.
Xiao Mo'er turned her head and met a pair of clear and bright eyes.
"Your name is Xiao Mo'er, my name is Shangguan Feifei."
Shangguan Feifei has a cute round face. When she smiles, a shallow pear dimple will appear on her left cheek. She is wearing a lavender dress, but this dress has a bit of heroic appearance.
She had been paying attention to Xiao Mo'er for a while just now. When she saw that she was alone, she was also alone, so she could keep her company.
"Miss Shangguan." Xiao Mo'er looked at the hand on her arm. She was not used to being held so intimately.
"Just call me Feifei." Shangguan Feifei patted her chest and automatically closed the distance between them.
"puff."
Seeing Shangguan Feifei's feigned bold tone, Xiao Moer's restrained attitude relaxed a bit and she laughed out loud.
Murong Shuqing was walking in front and heard some muttering behind her, followed by faint laughter, and couldn't help but look back.
When she saw Shangguan Feifei and Xiao Moer walking intimately together, talking and laughing, they would look at her from time to time.
Murong Shuqing's expression changed immediately, and she felt that these two people were laughing at her and laughing at the queen for not giving her face just now.
