Feng Mingye blinked and did not say anything. On the day Murong Xi married Ji, something unexpected happened. The only woman who could worry about her was Murong Yan, besides Murong Qian. Murong Yan was deceived by the Yuan Emperor's imperial concubine and later returned to Yunzhong Palace, and Feng Mingye
Naturally, Qingyu had also met Murong Yan. Therefore, the person Feng Qingyu mentioned was 80% likely to be Murong Qian.
"Then wait until tonight's banquet, and you'll have to look for it." Feng Mingye didn't say much. This younger brother seemed unreliable, and he was also very popular with women. But like his father, he was
He is a deeply affectionate person. He has seen that girl Murong Qian a few times. She looks like a little rabbit, but she is actually as good as his little fox. It would be great if Feng Qingyu can handle her.
However, it is not convenient for him to interfere in their affairs, so he can just let nature take its course.
Murong Xi now lives in the Royal Courtyard with the old man. Rushi and Ruhua were worried, so they also disguised themselves as guards and followed him in. Therefore, with two people following Murong Xi, Feng Mingye felt relieved.
Inside the Phoenix Dance Hall
Concubine Jing seemed to be in a good mood, because the things that Concubine Shu asked Ning'er to deliver early in the morning were just help in times of need. Now, apart from Ning'er, she had no one she could trust inside and outside the palace. She wanted to make a plot.
Lan Zixian naturally has thousands of ways. However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. She wanted to poison Lan Zixian, but she did not have poison in her hands. If she sent someone out of the palace to buy it, it would be too obvious and it would not be possible.
If the matter is investigated, she will be implicated. Concubine Shu knew her difficulties, so she asked Ning'er to send her good things. She did not have the ability of the concubine of Emperor Yuan to bribe any official's son. Besides, if
Lan Zixian would be given an advantage by any means if she really let any young master do this. She believed that Lan Zixian would be given an advantage even if she married a wealthy family as a concubine. So, what she had to do was to first
Ruin Lan Zixian's reputation, and the rest will come later.
Although the palace banquet was held at night, in the evening, people were already entering the palace one after another.
Mr. Lan entered the palace as an imperial merchant. After separating from his wife and the others, he entered the palace directly.
It was also the first time for Mrs. Lan and the three of them to enter the palace. The palace maid took them to the garden. The palace maid said: "Mrs. Lan, Miss Lan. The palace banquet will not start for another hour. Most of the ladies and
The ladies will first enjoy the flowers in the Imperial Garden."
In fact, some official ladies brought their daughters to the palace early not to enjoy the flowers, but to meet the empresses in the palace. Some of them, their daughters or sisters were concubines in the palace, so they stopped by.
Go to visit and say hello. Think of the Lan family, there is no one to rely on in the palace, the palace maids just say some polite words. In the past, Lan Ziyu was brought into the palace by the prime minister's wife, and then directly taken to the Xianfu Palace of the Yuan Emperor's concubine
Saying hello.
Mrs. Zhi was a little nervous. She was always born as a concubine, and she exuded a family spirit. She felt envious when she saw the wives of officials coming and going.
Although he had acted very calmly, he still couldn't help but ask: "Why are there only a few of us here to enjoy the flowers, while those ladies and young ladies just passed by the garden and walked in other directions?"
Mrs. Lan said calmly: "They are all eager to visit the empresses of each palace."
Mrs. Zhi rolled her eyes and said quickly: "Sister, let's go and pay homage to the empresses of each palace."
Mrs. Lan glanced at Mrs. Zhi disdainfully, and then said: "Sister, those ladies and ladies are almost all from my mother-in-law's family, or they are ladies from officials' families. The queen in the palace is also their support, our Lan family
We are just a businessman who took the liberty to visit the empresses of various palaces. Who will meet us? Didn’t he notice that the empresses in the palace let us enjoy the flowers here? Because they know that we are
What is your identity? If you don’t tell me clearly, you are just giving us face.”
Mrs. Zhi's face didn't look good either, but what Mrs. Lan said was the truth, and it was difficult to interrupt after all.
But at this time, a palace maid walked over slowly, smiled slightly and said, "Excuse me, are they Mrs. Lan and Miss Lan?"
Just as Mrs. Lan was about to reply, Mrs. Zhi rushed forward and said, "Yes, this is Lan Zixian, the legitimate daughter of the Lan family."
"Then you are Mrs. Lan, the mistress of the Lan family?" the palace maid still asked with a smile.
This made Mrs. Zhi's face full of embarrassment. She was just an ordinary wife, and the unsightly person next to her was the mistress of the Lan family.
So, Mrs. Zhi twitched her lips and said, "This is the mistress of the Lan family."
The palace maid looked at Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Zhi up and down, and then said: "It turns out that this is the mistress of the Lan family. That's it. This servant is from the Fengwu Palace to serve Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing has long heard about Miss Lan.
It’s because of the great beauty that I want to meet this young lady. I wonder if madam and young lady can go to Fengwu Hall to sit down?”
Mrs. Lan pretended to refuse and said: "It stands to reason that the empress invited us to go and see her, but..."
"Sister, Concubine Jing wants to see Zixian, so how can she refuse? I think we should agree. Besides..." Mrs. Zhi spoke loudly at the beginning, feeling that her next words would make the palace maid in front of her uncomfortable.
Hearing this was not good, so he could only whisper to Mrs. Lan: "Sister, I heard that Concubine Jing is your Majesty's most favored concubine. If we have a friendship with her, it will definitely have a great impact on the future of Lan Mansion.
Please help. Besides, the empress wants to see our Zixian. If my sister doesn’t want to go, she can stay in the imperial garden and wait for our return."
"Since you want to go, then go ahead and ask this girl to lead the way." Mrs. Lan said calmly.
"Yes, ma'am." The palace maid quickly brought Mrs. Lan and the three of them to the Fengwu Palace. Mrs. Zhi was shocked by the palace in front of her. The Fengwu Palace was indeed extraordinary and spectacular.
The palace maid asked the three of them to wait at the entrance of the palace while she went in to report.
After a while, the palace maid came out and invited Mrs. Lan, Mrs. Zhi and Lan Zixian to enter the hall.
The three people stepped forward slightly, bowed their heads and saluted Concubine Jing and said, "See Concubine Jing."
"Get up quickly and give me a seat." Concubine Jing said softly.
Only then did these three people dare to raise their heads and look at Concubine Jing. Of course, Mrs. Lan had seen Concubine Jing like this before and didn't have much thought. She just felt very soft and beautiful when she saw Concubine Jing today, and she said quietly to her.
Concubine Jing glanced at her. Concubine Jing smiled and nodded, and then said: "Serve tea."
Mrs. Zhi and Lan Zixian saw Concubine Jing for the first time, or rather the empress in the palace for the first time. Concubine Jing in front of them was both noble and soft. She was like a phoenix in the sky, which was beyond the reach of others.
.
Lan Zixian's eyes could be more restrained. Although she was very envious of Concubine Jing, she did not dare to look at Concubine Jing naked. She just felt that Concubine Jing's eyes were very familiar, like
It's like we've known each other for a long time.
But Mrs. Zhi on the side was really looking straight at Concubine Jing, and suddenly she thought it would be good if her daughter could also become a concubine in the palace. She was more majestic than the royal concubine.
Concubine Jing looked at Mrs. Zhi and knew what she was thinking. She was just imagining that her daughter could become a concubine in the palace.
Concubine Jing smiled slightly and asked in confusion: "Madam, I don't know why you are looking at me like this?"
"Ms. Jing Fei, this is the first time that I have met the princess in the palace.
Your Majesty, you were a little rude. I thought you were noble and gentle, so I took another look at you." Mrs. Zhi was as good at talking as ever.
"Oh? Thank you for the compliment, madam. I wonder which lady of the Lan Mansion you are? I heard that Concubine Shu was particularly gracious and invited two ladies from the Lan Mansion?" Concubine Jing said calmly.
Lan Zixian was a little strange. Didn't he say he wanted to see her? Why are he so interested in the wife of Lan Mansion?
Mrs. Zhi smiled slightly and replied softly: "Back to your Majesty, next to me is the mistress of the Lan Mansion. I am just an ordinary wife. I am grateful to Concubine Shu for your kindness this time, otherwise I would not have a chance to enter the palace."
"I see. This sister is the legitimate daughter of the Lan family, Lan Ziyu, right?" Concubine Jing said quietly.
These words made Mrs. Zhi shiver, Lan Ziyu? Is it Lan Ziyu that Concubine Jing wants to meet?
Mrs. Lan said generously: "Concubine Jing, Ziyu is not lucky and has no luck. A few days ago, he went up the mountain to pray for blessings and fell off the cliff. He is no longer here. What you see in front of you is Lan Zixian, the second young lady of the Lan family."
"It turns out to be the second young lady of the Lan family. I only heard from the emperor that during a palace banquet, the eldest daughter of the Lan family played the piano very well. Moreover, it is said that the eldest daughter of the Lan family is also very beautiful. That day, I heard that
It was my mother who personally brought Miss Lan into the palace. Therefore, I am very curious and want to meet this Miss Lan. Unexpectedly, Miss Lan actually had an accident. Mrs. Lan, I did not mention you on purpose.
Please forgive me for the sadness." Concubine Jing regretted not being able to see Lan Ziyu.
"Your Majesty, if you don't know about it, I will naturally know it. Please don't blame yourself, please." Mrs. Lan said softly.
At this time, Mrs. Zhi interrupted and said: "My dear, as the legitimate daughter of the Lan family, Zixian is also talented and beautiful. Not only is she good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her dancing skills are even more amazing."
Lan Zixian frowned. Normally, her mother was very steady. Why did she say everything she should and shouldn't say today?
"Mother, what you said makes the empress laugh." After Lan Zixian finished speaking, he stood up and blessed himself, and then said to Concubine Jing: "Empress, don't listen to what your mother said. Although Zixian has been studying since he was a child,
He is also very obsessed with playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it is not like what my mother said. The women in the capital are all very talented, and Zixian can only be considered average."
"It seems that the Miss Lan family is very humble. I naturally believe what Mrs. Lan says. In this case, girls from various families will be arranged to perform during the palace banquet. Mrs. Lan said that your dancing skills are very good, so I will replace you when the time comes.
You can arrange to perform the dance directly in the palace." Concubine Jing suggested very gently.
"But, Zixian entered the palace for the first time and didn't know that she would need to perform in front of the palace. Therefore, she didn't prepare dance clothes. This..." Lan Zixian was a little annoyed. Of course she wanted to perform in front of the palace. She wanted the king to
You know, the concubine he married is not a good-for-nothing woman, but a woman with great talents.
"What are you afraid of? There are not many dance clothes in the palace. What kind of style do you want, tell the palace maids. Let them go to the dance clothes shop to get you a few sets, and you can choose slowly." Jing
After the concubine finished speaking, she called a palace maid and asked Lan Zixian to describe the style she wanted. After listening carefully, the palace lady nodded and left the Fengwu Palace.
"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Lan family was engaged to His Royal Highness. I thought it was the eldest lady of the Lan family. It seems that I misunderstood. The second young lady of the Lan family is beautiful and refined, so she is a natural match for His Royal Highness?
"Concubine Jing deliberately mentioned Lan Ziyu just to disgust Lan Zixian.
Sure enough, Mrs. Zhi and Lan Zixian both looked bad after hearing these words.
