"Master!" The girl's crisp voice sounded, Fenghuang turned his head and glanced at the girl, this girl seems to belong to the prime minister's residence, what's her name...
"Master doesn't even come to see me, do you forget that there is still me as an apprentice?" The girl said stubbornly, Fenghuang smiled awkwardly, and explained: "How can I forget you, it's not that there are more things happening recently... Because my prince's health is not good, I have been taking care of her." Fenghuang opened his eyes and said nonsense, and he said it with peace of mind.
"Don't make trouble with the seventh princess, come quickly." The prime minister's wife called, she smiled apologetically at Fenghuang, the girl leaned into Fenghuang's ear and said: "Then when the annual banquet is over, master remember to come to me." The girl thumped and ran back to the prime minister's wife.
Yang Tingjing was dragged by Yang Tingxing to talk to some ministers, men discuss matters, women are not allowed to interrupt, Fenghuang was bored and looked at the costumes at the New Year's banquet, this year's banquet, the place where the emperor sat was placed a screen, Fenghuang looked at the screen. This screen was made of high-quality white marble, and the carved dragons were vivid. This screen was not only beautiful but also to protect the safety of the emperor, and it would not block the emperor's sight. Phoenix could not see through it. see what the emperor is doing, but the emperor can see through it what they are doing,
I don't know how long it took before the emperor arrived late, and the guard of honor followed behind the emperor in a row, well-behaved and silent. After the guard of honor, two eunuchs followed closely. When the emperor sat down, the two eunuchs stood behind the emperor.
"Join the emperor!"
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
When everyone saw the emperor coming, they all saluted, and the emperor's majestic voice came from behind the screen, "Get up, everyone, don't be restrained for today's New Year's banquet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fenghuang curled his lips in disdain. The emperor said that if he doesn't restrain himself, he can be free. Seeing Fenghuang's expression of contempt for the emperor, Yinhuan quickly tugged at Fenghuang's sleeve and shouted in a low voice: "Princess!"
Fenghuang knew that Yinhuan was afraid that she would attract trouble, but recently Yinhuan became more and more like a sister-in-law, Fenghuang threatened: "If you keep talking so much, I will sell you."
Yinhuan looked at Fenghuang with a smile, not afraid, but Fenghuang was a little discouraged.
Fenghuang and Yang Tingjing took their seats, and other people took their seats one after another, and people continued to come from behind, only to hear the eunuch shout: "Little prince, little princess is here!"
As soon as Fenghuang heard the name, the little prince and the little princess had headaches. Every time these two people saw her, it was as if they had met an enemy. Sure enough, the little princess looked at Fenghuang with disgust after seeing Fenghuang, and touched her body The gorgeous jacket and skirt said: "This is the latest style this year, Seventh Princess, don't you think so?" After speaking, without waiting for Fenghuang's answer, she followed the little prince to the upper seat arrogantly.
Everyone sympathized with Fenghuang's experience. This little concubine has always been domineering, and she doesn't pay attention to anyone, even the imperial concubine, she has never given face, let alone the Seventh Prince's House, which has not received much attention.
"General Feng is here!"
"The concubine is here!"
"..."
Following the eunuch's voice, the people for the New Year's banquet were basically filled one after another. The imperial concubine sat on the left side of the emperor, and a young concubine sat on the right side. That was the emperor's latest favorite concubine, the woman from the Li country. .
"Concubine Li, do you see if this is different from the New Year Banquet of the Li Kingdom?" The emperor asked with a smile, and Concubine Li said coquettishly, "Your Majesty was joking, this is only when you are in love with the Emperor, you can appreciate this place in the palace." The New Year Banquet, how could a concubine have the qualifications when she was in Li Kingdom?"
Concubine Shu curled her lips in disdain, and she didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup this woman from Li Guo had given the emperor. After being favored, she was named Concubine Li by the emperor. On the emperor's right is only the empress! Concubine Shu's eyes are red with jealousy, not only Concubine Shu, but also other concubines are jealous of Concubine Li, but who makes them not as happy as Concubine Li, who is as beautiful as a flower and can coax the emperor.
"Grand Concubine, didn't you arrange for the ladies from various prefectures to prepare their talents? Why haven't you started yet?" The emperor put down his wine glass and looked at the imperial concubine. At the annual banquet, there are always ladies who are slightly married from various prefectures to show their talents. To put it bluntly, this It was the day when these young ladies were in the limelight, and it was also a disguised form to find a good husband's family. If the emperor liked one, he would put it in the harem.
"Yes!" The imperial concubine stood up and saluted the emperor with a dignified and elegant smile. She said softly, "Your majesty, our sisters have prepared a gift for you. Why don't you take a look at it first, and then let the concubines let the ladies of the various houses start their talents?" .”
"Okay!" The emperor was a little surprised. This was the first time that the harem gave her a gift together. In the past, they each gave it to him privately. The emperor nodded with a smile and said, "I want to see what you have prepared for me?"
The imperial concubine waved her hand to the nanny beside her, and the nanny quickly took out a pair of brocade silk. The maids unfolded the picture, and it turned out to be a pair of longevity. The imperial concubine said with a smile: "Every word for longevity is a palace It was embroidered by different concubines, Your Majesty, this is the painstaking effort of one hundred of our sisters."
Concubine Shu's face suddenly changed. She didn't know about this matter, and she didn't embroider it on the hundred-shou picture.
The imperial concubine noticed that Concubine Shu's face was pale, and she seemed to be a little belatedly "ah", and said with apology: "Sister forgot that Concubine Shu's embroidery skills are also first-rate. It wasn't because of Concubine Shu's embroidery skills back then What made the emperor fancy, Concubine Shu is the most powerful embroiderer in Suzhou, I am very envious of her embroidering skills, but I was negligent and forgot to let Concubine Shu embroider."
The imperial concubine said this lightly, but she bluntly revealed that Concubine Shu's life experience was mediocre. Concubine Shu bit her lip, trying not to get angry. I don't have time to embroider."
Only then did Concubine Shu understand that the imperial concubine still hated Yang Tingfeng for marrying Princess Heqin, but Yang Tingming did not marry, but how could the imperial concubine know the depression in her heart.
"This picture of one hundred longevity is not bad, I like it very much." The emperor said with a smile.
But the little princess who was still arrogant just now seemed to have lost the rooster, sitting on the soft chair decadently, her little face turned pale, Fenghuang noticed this and asked Yang Tingjing in a low voice, "What's wrong with that woman?"
"I heard from Yang Tingxing that the little princess wanted to embroider a longevity character for the emperor a month ago. We all know that the little princess is impatient, and it is very difficult to embroider a longevity character. It is said that the little princess's family paid a high price. Ask someone to embroider a pair of birthday characters, and there is only one birthday character, so that it looks more like the handwriting of a little princess." Yang Tingjing said gently,
Fenghuang suddenly felt a little funny, now that the word "longevity" of the little princess is probably too embarrassing to compare it with the picture of hundred years of life.
