It seems that there is an inseparable connection between Xi Meiren and Lu Li, otherwise the majestic imperial concubine would listen to the actions of a concubine.
When Shen Zi was remembering the events of her past life, a faint laughter came to her ears.
Shen Zi looked sideways, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the young ladies from the two families behind her, covering their mouths with handkerchiefs, watching her whispering something.
The one on the left said, "Wanwan, look, this young lady of the Shen family is really beautiful, but it's a pity that she was outdone by the concubine of the Lu family."
The noble girl named Wanwan said, "Yunhe, don't talk nonsense. How can this concubine of the Lu family compare with the legitimate daughter of the Shen family? Naturally, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family is nobler. What about the acid poetry that the concubine of the Lu family can do? This Shen family The legitimate daughter has been dubbed a talented woman since she was a child, but it was only because the legitimate daughter of the Shen family did not come that day that the concubine of the Lu family stole the limelight."
After hearing this, Yun He smiled and answered, "So what if you have been named a talented girl since you were a child? Master Gu Xiaohou has been seduced by the concubine of the Lu family. Who knows?"
When Yun He said this, Wanwan covered his mouth, "Little ancestor, please calm down! I heard from my father that the Shen family is famous for protecting calves. If the Shen family listens to your words, , maybe you will be the joke in Kyoto tomorrow."
She said with a sense of relaxation on her face, as if she had saved her best friend's life.
Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Shen Zi withdrew her gaze.
While she was going through the trial, she actually saw Ling Wang Qi Feng and his uncle Jiang Kaiyuan under the emperor's left-hand seat.
The moment she saw Qifeng, she felt a pair of cold eyes staring at her.
In her previous life, she was dedicated to fighting Lu Li, but she also heard many rumors about this prince with a different surname.
It is said that this prince is the most indifferent and refuses people thousands of miles away. His current status is all earned by his own efforts. At the age of twelve, he has ruled all directions, suppressed bandits, killed people like hemp, and accepted many people. A talented person, Zhou Xuan can still wander around among a group of veterans of well-established aristocratic families, and escape unscathed.
Naturally, it is not groundless when people say this.
In a previous life, there was a bandit that had been rampant in the southwest for many years. Qi Feng, who was only thirteen years old, was ordered to lead people to suppress the bandit. However, he only led ten people and captured nearly 300 bandits, and even recruited them into the army. Serve the country.
Who in the Great Qi Dynasty had such courage? From then on, he became famous in one battle, until the late emperor named him a prince with a different surname when he was eighteen years old. Those old ministers sent away the women of his family to try to get him, but he never accepted them.
The old ministers thought of a countermeasure, fearing that their own power would be endangered, and jointly submitted a letter to impeach him. Unexpectedly, he ignored him at all, and actually asked to relinquish military power and return to his fiefdom to observe filial piety for his mother.
No one in the Daqi Dynasty knew that Qi Feng was the adopted son picked up by the late emperor from the battlefield. Where could he have a mother? However, it was good this way. The ministers of the aristocratic family were no longer threatening, and the late emperor had no choice but to agree and let him return to his fiefdom, and then things calmed down. There was a storm.
And now Jiang Kaiyuan, who is standing next to Qi Feng, is the elder brother of the current empress. Relying on his status as the uncle of the state, he does all kinds of evil in the capital.
Unfortunately, the queen was very protective of her, and no one in the capital dared to do anything to him. If he really bullied her, she could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, which was unlucky.
Jiang Kaiyuan himself is not a good person. He made Tongfang pregnant before he married his first wife. Because his father is an important minister in the court, he ignores all these things. As a result, there is no high-ranking family now. His legitimate daughter dared to marry him, but she was from a small family and was not worthy of his family.
At the banquet in the previous life, Jiang Kaiyuan got drunk, got up in public, and used the power of alcohol to tease a noble girl. This move shocked everyone.
This aroused everyone's disgust, but none of them dared to offend the queen and the Jiang family, and the whole place was silent for a while.
In her previous life, she was young and energetic, and she had always disliked the idea of winning people's love. Seeing Gu Jingheng and Lu Li entangled endlessly, she became furious. She stood up immediately and reprimanded loudly, "Your Majesty originally intended to have a family banquet, and I want it to be the same as that of the people." Le, are you dissatisfied with Your Majesty by what I did today?"
After her words, everyone's eyes immediately fell on her.
Seeing that he was being scolded in public, Jiang Kaiyuan felt his face dull and lost interest in an instant. He raised his eyes and stared at the woman who questioned him. After recognizing Shen Zi, he pointed at Shen Zi and said angrily, "You can't control yourself. How dare your fiancé’s woman come to question my uncle?”
After hearing this, Shen Zi lost her previous composure and left the palace banquet angrily.
She only found out later that after she left, Lu Li pretended to be insulted by her and entered the banquet, explaining her relationship with Gu Jingheng. From then on, Shen Zi became intolerant and jealous. reputation.
But she became famous at the banquet and became the most talented woman in Daqi.
When I came back to my senses, the arrangement of the seats on the field was the same as in the previous life, except for one more King Ling, and the instigator of the previous life, Jiang Kaiyuan, the man who had killed a thousand swords, was now chatting and laughing with the people around him like a human being. .
Shen Zi's eyes glanced at Gu Jingheng.
Gu Jingheng was talking to someone and didn't notice the look in her eyes.
Shen Zi's hand resting on the table kept tapping on the table.
Tonight, she had to ask Jiang Kaiyuan to give Gu Jingheng a big gift to repay Gu Jingheng's "affection" for her in his previous life.
Rather than letting Jiang Kaiyuan disrupt the banquet, it would be better to make the banquet exciting from the beginning, so as not to disappoint Lu Li and make him the laughing stock of everyone.
However, Jiang Kaiyuan is not easy to control.
She looked around and suddenly thought of someone.
She turned her head and looked at Yong Ning, who she had driven away just now.
When Yongning saw her staring directly at him, he knew she had something to ask for.
"Tell me! What's going on now?"
Shen Zi looked at Yong Ning with a malicious expression.
"Lend it to someone."
"who?"
"you."
Shen Zi Fu'er explained to her, and after hearing this, Yong Ning's eyes followed her words and he smiled, then nodded, and returned to his seat silently.
The Queen had not arrived yet, and His Majesty had left due to something else. At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace was just right, making people feel particularly relaxed. Everyone was talking to themselves, and no one noticed that a palace maid was missing from the banquet.
Shen Zi sat there quietly with a smile on her lips.
The people of Daqi are simple and honest, and there is no taboo against men and women sitting at the same table in public places. At this moment, all the family members of the third rank or above are in the palace, and everyone below the third rank is outside the palace.
The noble ladies all sat together in twos and threes with their sisters at home or their close friends, but she sat alone in order to avoid suspicion with Yongning, which seemed to be quite isolated.
Qi Feng, who was also sitting alone, could only see a bright color in his peripheral vision. The girl was only twelve or thirteen years old. She had an apricot face and peach cheeks. She had an unparalleled appearance, with skin like gelatin, eyebrows like a crescent moon, and a flowing look. She was proud and beautiful. Got to be out of place.
She is indeed a beauty that can be seen at a glance.
