"It's really beautiful," Qiubai praised. She was a little reluctant to throw it away, but it was still the empress who had the final say.
"It's quite beautiful," Wen Nianruan couldn't deny it.
Qiu Bai asked: "Do you still want to throw it away?"
"Keep it and put it in the dormitory first."
Compared with the fan and hairpin given last time, this portrait made Wen Nianruan feel much more comfortable.
I don’t know what the madman’s intention was in suddenly sending her a portrait. Could it be that he has changed his temper?
In the past few days, Su Wanyan's confinement has ended. After she was able to leave the palace, the first thing she did was to come to Fuhua Palace to chat with Wen Nianruan.
Compared to her previous appearance of being too lazy to talk to anyone, Su Wanyan talked a lot more. It looked like she had been holding back her words in the palace for a long time.
During this period, Yang Surou and Jiang Xinyuan came to see Wen Nianruan to finish mahjong. Su Wanyan didn't know how to play and could only sit aside and stare. After the three of them played for a while, she couldn't sit still and asked Wen Nianruan to start teaching her.
After Su Wanyan learned it, the four of them had a lot of fun, and Yang Surou and Jiang Xinyuan were even happier because with Su Wanyan at the bottom, they would no longer lose money.
At the end of the game, it was indeed Su Wanyan who lost the money. After all, she had not yet understood how to play mahjong.
June is already the time for flowers to bloom.
The Queen Mother prepared a flower-viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden, inviting all the concubines in the harem and ladies from the imperial capital to come and enjoy the flowers. All the female family members were invited to this banquet.
Three women are performing a show, and a group of women can't do anything like chattering.
Wen Nianruan had never attended a banquet with so many people in the six months since she entered the palace, and she didn't want to chat with a group of women, but she couldn't bear the Queen Mother inviting her.
At noon, Wen Nianruan was woken up by Qiu Bai before he had slept enough. He simply packed up and went to the banquet.
On the way to the Royal Garden, you can see many ladies and young ladies who have just entered the palace, all coming to the banquet.
When they reached the intersection, Wen Nianruan met Wen Ruochu, followed by Wen Zhiyan.
Wen Nianruan raised an eyebrow. The Queen Mother invited only her legitimate daughters and wives. An aunt like Wen Zhiyan should not be qualified to participate, right?
When the two saw Wen Nianruan, they also stopped to say hello.
After not seeing each other for a while, Wen Ruochu's face looked a little haggard, but Wen Zhiyan's complexion was rosy, and it looked like he was well moisturized. He was wearing gold and silver, which made him look a little more noble than in the Hou Mansion.
Wen Nianruan pretended to be surprised: "I didn't expect to see Sixth Sister here. I thought Sixth Sister wouldn't come."
Wen Zhiyan smiled shyly: "The Queen Mother did not invite me. It is true that I cannot come to the banquet, but the prince saw that I had nothing to do in the house, so he asked the princess to bring me with him."
Between the lines, Xiao Weifeng's love for her was revealed intentionally or unintentionally.
Can Wen Ruochu tolerate this?
Wen Nianruan turned to look at Wen Ruochu, his expression turned even more embarrassing, and the corners of his mouth tightened as if he was holding back something.
This woman is really tolerant.
Then Wen Ruochu said hello to Wen Nianruan and hurried to the Royal Garden, and Wen Zhiyan had to follow her behind.
When Qiu Bai saw Wen Zhiyan twisting his hips while walking, he looked quite fond of him and arrogant.
Qiu Bai said: "I didn't expect that Miss Six was quite capable and could hold King Wen in the palm of her hand. I won't have to ride on Princess Wen in the future."
Wen Nianruan sneered leisurely: "Xiao Weifeng just wanted to feel fresh and gave her some favor. If she wants to ride on Wen Ruochu's head, it depends on whether Wen Ruochu is willing."
Wen Ruochu is not one to sit still and wait for death. It depends on how she fights back in the future.
The banquet was held in an open space in the Imperial Garden, surrounded by flowers and honey butterflies, which was very interesting.
The many beauties here are like a hundred flowers blooming, vying for beauty, adding a bit of splendor to the spring scene.
When Wen Nianruan came to the Royal Garden, almost everyone was seated. Wen Nianruan passed by, and all eyes fell on her with different colors. Her appearance inevitably attracted everyone's jealousy and jealousy.
hostility.
People who have never met Wen Nianruan secretly guess her identity.
The Queen Mother saw Wen Nianruan coming over and waved to her with a kind face: "Nianruan, good boy, come to the Ai family."
Now everyone knew Wen Nianruan's identity. It turned out to be Concubine Wen in the palace.
Some of the noble ladies who had not yet left the court were less hostile to Wen Nianruan, probably because Wen Nianruan was already a concubine and would no longer compete with them for men, so the hostility was naturally much less.
However, seeing the Queen Mother's love for Wen Nianruan, everyone was inevitably a little envious.
The palace attendants brought over a chair and asked Wen Nianruan to sit next to the Queen Mother.
It can be seen clearly that the Queen Mother really loves Wen Nianruan.
On the other side of the Queen Mother, sat a dignified woman with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and an innate virtuous and noble aura about her.
This is the Concubine Xian. After the death of the late emperor, many concubines in the harem were sent to temples, and a few concubines were left in the harem to provide for their old age.
Concubine Xian is one of them. When she was young, Concubine Xian had a calm temperament and would not fight or fight. Now that she is over forty, her temperament has become more gentle and gentle.
After a while, a woman came to the event dressed up in a noble and enchanting way, which almost overshadowed all the beauties present.
Ye Qianhe stepped forward with a smile: "I would like to send my regards to the Queen Mother, may you be blessed."
The Queen Mother waved her hands and said with a smile on her face: "Okay, the Ai family knows that you, Concubine De, are the most filial, so there is no need to be more polite."
"The Queen Mother knows how to make fun of concubines," Ye Qianhe giggled, turned to look at Wen Nianruan, and said with a smile: "This must be Sister Wen. I haven't seen Sister Wen out of the palace for a long time. I didn't expect that.
She is so beautiful, which makes our emperor fascinated."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the concubines below became unfriendly when they looked at Wen Nianruan.
Ye Qianhe was obviously praising Wen Nianruan, but secretly she caused a wave of hatred for her.
There is no woman who comes out of the harem without any scheming.
Wen Nianruan stood up immediately, with a look of fear on his little face: "Empress De Fei, please don't try to disgrace me. How can I be so charming to the Emperor with my beauty like Concubine De?"
I can’t bear it.”
"Concubine Wen is so humble."
Ye Qianhe still wanted to say a few words, but was interrupted by the Queen Mother: "Concubine De, that's it. Go and take a seat quickly. The banquet is about to begin."
There was a trace of displeasure in the Queen Mother's tone. Ye Qianhe did not dare to say another word and had to sit down obediently.
In the entire harem, only Ye Qianhe could equal Su Wanyan's status. She entered the palace only half a month later than Su Wanyan, and was named a concubine. Her father was Sima, the leader of the two dynasties, and she also held many rights.
Not small.
Behind the scenes, the Ye family had already joined the Queen Mother's party, so Ye Qianhe was somewhat unscrupulous in the harem relying on the Queen Mother, and he and Su Wanyan were sworn enemies. Apart from competing for favor, after all, their positions were different.
Everyone sat down, but Su Wanyan arrived late.
As soon as she appeared on the stage, her cold and charming temperament suppressed everyone, and the coldness between her brows gave people a sense of nobility and dignity.
