When everyone heard that it was Prince Ming who came to give birthday gifts, they all stared outside the door in shock. Even Prince Ming sometimes would not attend the Queen Mother's birthday, so why did Helian's birthday come? Could it be that this was His Majesty's intention? This is not true.
It's very possible that Prince Ming didn't even buy the emperor's account. But why did Prince Ming come here? Everyone was wondering in their hearts.
At this time, the singing and dancing had been suspended. The maid who came to report knelt in front of the Helian family and explained one by one. Even though the Helian family had seen the world, His Highness Prince Ming was not an ordinary person. She couldn't help being extremely shocked and delighted, saying
: "Since His Highness Prince Ming is here, ladies, please move behind the screen!"
All the guests in this lobby are female guests, so when a male guest comes, the ladies will hide behind the screen.
Although ladies and gentlemen, you are from a large family, very few have met King Ming. It is just rumored that His Highness King Ming is a god-like figure. It is said that his appearance is as handsome as an orchid, his conversation is humorous and uninhibited, his talent is far better than that of the banished immortal, and his playing the piano
Her skills are on par with Princess Yongchang.
Therefore, in just a short moment, due to the impending arrival of King Ming, the banquet was already in full swing. All the ladies and ladies all speculated about King Ming's appearance and were also afraid of his perverse character. They immediately reported what they had seen and heard about King Ming.
Everything was told once.
Bei Tangjin looked at this scene and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. Everyone had heard about the benefits of King Ming, but they didn't know how dangerous this person was. If they were to befriend him, they would be doomed if they were not careful. She also thought that King Ming would give her a share.
After receiving the gift, I couldn't help but start to feel uneasy.
What on earth is Feng Xichun going to do? Is he making it clear that he is his enemy? If so, then she can no longer be soft-hearted!
While everyone was looking forward to it, someone maintained the scene and the hall became quiet. At this time, they heard the maid who came to report said: "His Royal Highness King Ming said that he is a male guest and it is really inappropriate to come here. I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
He offended all the ladies, so this gift was brought by his maid."
Everyone thought they were going to see King Ming, and they were all extremely excited. However, they were extremely disappointed when they heard that His Highness King Ming would not show up. Some people praised King Ming's observance of etiquette and said: "Everyone knows that His Highness is uninhibited and has a perverse personality."
, judging from today’s facts, the rumors are too false!”
When many ladies heard this, they all agreed: "It shows that His Highness Prince Ming is a very observant person!"
Bei Tangjin listened to everyone's discussion and couldn't help but sarcastic in his heart, are you a person who observes etiquette? The gift of a person who observes etiquette is sent directly to the housekeeper. How could anyone come to the birthday boy to give a gift! It can be seen that everyone is respectfully apologized to him for observing etiquette.
The appearance is confusing!
Helian was also praising Prince Ming's observance of etiquette in his heart. He couldn't help but smile and said: "In that case, please invite them in."
As soon as Helian finished speaking, several maids in green slowly came from outside the door. They were all dressed in simple and elegant clothes, and their headdresses and earrings were also very elegant. Looking at their behavior, even the ladies were not so decent. Everyone saw that
, they all praised it again and again.
The maids came in and suddenly came out to both sides. When everyone looked at it, they saw a woman wearing a purple brocade robe coming out. Her brocade robe was covered with a sable waistcoat. The woman had a slender figure and white skin.
, but her appearance was ordinary, not as good as the maids beside her, everyone couldn't help but wonder.
This woman is wearing an extremely rare Purple Cloud Brocade, which is rare even for a princely family like theirs, but this woman is actually wearing a robe made of Purple Cloud Brocade. Everyone knows that His Highness Prince Ming likes purple very much.
, so emperors such as purple cloud brocade and gauze that came from various places were rewarded to King Ming. And the purple cloud brocade robe this woman is wearing should have been rewarded by King Ming. Being able to receive such a reward from King Ming shows that this woman was extremely favored by King Ming.
Reuse.
But who is this woman? They have never seen her before.
Bei Tangjin saw the woman in purple walking up slowly, already in front of Helian, bowed down and said: "Yunzhu pays homage to the old lady, I wish the old lady to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains."
Helian was stunned at first. He didn't expect that there was such a woman. When he heard that her name was Yunzhu, he couldn't help but be even more surprised and said: "You are Miss Yunzhu, please wake me up."
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this. They had long heard that there was a woman named Yunzhu in the Ming Palace who was deeply trusted and valued by Feng Xiling, but they did not expect that she turned out to be such an ordinary-looking woman.
Yunzhu stood up calmly and said: "Yunzhu came here today because he was entrusted by the prince to paint a scroll for the novel of the old lady. My prince said that pearls, jade, jade and agate are all common things, and they may not be able to be refined, so they are specially
I will draw a painting myself to celebrate the birthday of the old lady."
Everyone present gave gifts of pearls, jade, agate, jade, etc. Feng Xichun said this, which meant that everyone present was a common person. However, few of the ladies and ladies in the hall were dissatisfied, and they were all envious.
, to be able to get a picture scroll hand-painted by King Ming himself is really more precious than the precious jade!
Bei Tangjin looked at Yunzhu's arrogance, but what he focused on was what the scroll in her hand was.
At the moment when everyone was envious, Helian said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty has an elegant temperament. It is a blessing for me to be able to get a picture from him."
Yunzhu just nodded and said: "The prince also said that he didn't want to make such a big move to bring the gift, which would be a loss of etiquette. However, if this scroll does not go through the story, it would be a waste of the prince's efforts. Therefore, Yunzhu was specially sent to come.
Come, please don’t laugh at me, the old lady and you all."
But he found a suitable reason for what Beitang Jin had just thought about Feng Xiyan sending the painting in a swagger. He was really attentive, and he was worthy of being someone whom King Ming valued.
Helian said hurriedly: "I'll have to trouble Miss Yunzhu this time."
It was rare that Helian was so kind and considerate to a person. Her attitude today was just a sign of respect for Prince Ming. Seeing this, Beitang Jin really admired Feng Xichun, even her arrogant and arrogant grandmother.
Respect for him, it’s really awesome.
When Helian finished speaking, Yunzhu had already led the maids to the high platform where the singing and dancing had just been performed.
Everyone opened their eyes wide to see, what kind of picture scroll was actually going to be played?
I saw that the scroll was about four or five feet long and seven or eight feet wide. It was a huge scroll. The maids in green were already holding the scroll on the left and right, and Yunzhu took the carved long harp from the maid's hands and started playing it.
The sound was exciting and joyful, like the sound of a fairy, which made people think of the scene of fairies flying in the air. Following the melody of the music, the maids in green slowly unfolded the scroll. When everyone looked, they saw that there were indeed fairies floating in the scroll.
Flying, clothes flying, extremely beautiful, just like a real person.
In the scroll, there are clouds and mist, and there are flying cranes and running deers interspersed among them. Fairies are leisurely walking in the jungle fairyland, holding magic weapons, rare treasures, and fresh peaches in their hands to wish the Queen Mother the birthday, and the dignified ones in the first place
The Queen Mother actually looked like Helian, with a dignified and loving smile. When everyone saw it, they were so shocked that they could not speak.
However, when Bei Tangjin looked at the scroll, he didn't find it novel. Feng Xichun just used a combination of virtuality and reality. Therefore, when the scroll slowly unfolded, it gave the illusion of a fairy flying into the sky.
When the scroll was fully unfolded and the music of the piano stopped, Yunzhu stepped off the stage and said to Helian: "This is the birthday gift from the prince to the old lady. Yunzhu has shown his shame."
No one paid attention to what Yunzhu said, but carefully observed the characters in the scroll. At this time, another young lady suddenly called out and said: "Oh my god, look, isn't that the woman holding the scroll?
General Yurong?"
Everyone looked and saw that it was indeed Bei Tangjin, and they couldn't help but feel even more surprised.
Yunzhu explained: "My prince said that General Yurong is as beautiful as a fairy and as smart as ice and snow, so he was painted in the scroll."
When the ladies heard this, some were jealous, some were envious, and some were angry. Zheng Jiamin, the second young lady of the Zheng family, suddenly stood up and said: "You are as beautiful as a fairy and as smart as ice and snow, but you are just a vulgar girl from the border gate."
, was praised by King Ming, which shows that King Ming really didn’t see the truth!”
Hearing this, Mrs. Shi quickly grabbed Zheng Jiamin's sleeve and said, "What a shame, you're just drinking and talking nonsense!"
The Zheng family is the maternal family of the current empress dowager and queen. The daughters of the Zheng family have always been extremely favored. Zheng Jiamin was spoiled, so she did not take Bei Tangjin seriously. She is the most suitable woman of the Zheng family to be the queen.
, so she became even more arrogant and domineering. She didn't listen to Shi's words and continued: "Such a dirty woman deserves to be praised by King Ming. It really stains King Ming's eyes!"
Mrs. Shi quickly ordered her maid to pull him down and said: "Send Miss down first, so as not to be embarrassed here!"
The queen was deeply favored by the emperor, and the Zheng family was even more powerful. Shi was the wife of the queen's eldest brother. Shi felt extremely guilty and said to Beitang Jin: "General Yurong, don't listen to her nonsense. She is drinking too much."
Got it!"
Beitang Jin smiled and said: "Madam, you are welcome. Since Miss Zheng is drunk, Yu Rong will do her best to let her rest!" Since Mrs. Shi has already said that her daughter is drunk, even if Zheng Jiamin is very rude,
She couldn't argue with an alcoholic either.
How could Mrs. Shi sit still when such a shameful thing happened? She hurriedly said: "General Yurong is so generous. My little girl is fooling around today, making everyone laugh."
Helian was extremely displeased when he heard such words. However, Zheng Jiamin was from the Queen's natal family and would be the Queen in the future, so she could not be offended. So she said, "It's just a child who is drunk. Aunt Qiu."
Mom, please go and personally lead Miss Zheng to my wing to rest."
Mrs. Shi quickly declined and said: "How can this happen? How can this evildoer deserve to rest in the old lady's wing? I'm afraid it will pollute the old lady's house, so we should take her to the guest room!"
Helian nodded and said: "Forget it, just take Miss Zheng to the guest room."
A group of women gathered around the maid who was holding Zheng Jiamin and walked out of the lobby. Seeing them leaving, everyone began to whisper again. At this time, many noble ladies secretly hated Bei Tangjin. They felt that although Zheng Jiamin had just said
It was just wine talk, but it was the truth. Even though this young lady from the Beitang family had great military exploits, she had grown up in a place like the Border Pass, so she might have been unclean for a long time! I really don’t know why King Ming praised such a woman.
Wang Yuanxiang looked at the scroll sent by King Ming and painted Bei Tang Jin extremely vividly. What a pity! This painting can only make Bei Tang Jin the target of public criticism. How many women do not admire King Ming? Now Bei Tang Jin
But she was going to be in bad luck. She knew without thinking that Zheng Jiamin would definitely target Bei Tangjin again. If Bei Tangjin offended someone from the Queen's family, wouldn't his future be ruined?
Seeing this, Yunzhu was very sorry and said: "General Yurong, I'm really sorry that something like this happened, this..." Yunzhu didn't know how to express his apology, and his expression was extremely ugly.
Bei Tangjin looked at Yunzhu's expression and couldn't help but sneer. This must be the effect Feng Xichuan wants! After this incident, she will become the jealous object of most ladies. She really doesn't need Feng Xichuan to take action.
The ladies are also in a hurry to deal with these ladies!
No wonder he didn't say anything at Tianxiang Tower. It turns out he was saving this gift for today!
Everyone knows that Tianqinglou and Tianxianglou have the same boss, but the master behind it is actually Feng Xichun.
Tianqinglou specializes in singing and dancing, minor tunes, sightseeing and drinking. When the ladies of the famous family celebrate their birthdays, they always book private rooms in Tianqinglou to watch singing and dancing, or listen to minor tunes. Of course, rich businessmen
We will also hold banquets or birthdays in the private rooms of Tianqing Building.
Tianqing Tower has ten floors in total. If you stand on the Tianqing Tower, you can have a panoramic view of Dadu. Therefore, when she returned to Dadu that day, everyone in the family had already booked private rooms in Tianqing Tower to watch, even the queens and princesses
There are no exceptions, which shows how famous Tianqinglou is.
Tianxianglou, on the other hand, specializes in wine and food. Tianxianglou has a complete menu and a wide variety of wines. It is deeply loved by aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen. There is a saying that if you make money every day, you will make money.
Feng Xichun monopolized most of the entertainment, wine, and food industries. No wonder gold and jade were used as cups, agate was used as plates, and everything he used was hard to find.
Bei Tangjin thought this in her heart and actually laughed softly. She will not block your Feng Xichun's management, but you must not block my revenge!
"Loyalty, filial piety and sincerity are gifts from His Majesty, but I don't think Miss Zheng has never heard of it. It's really Yurong's fault. This is not Miss Yunzhu's fault. Miss Yunzhu took the trouble to perform the story, and Yurong is grateful." Northern Tang Dynasty
Jin sighed and said that when she mentioned the plaque given to her by His Majesty the Emperor, she was changing her direction to remind everyone that His Majesty said she was loyal, patriotic, filial, honest and sincere. If someone said she was unclean, then they were questioning the Emperor.
This is disrespectful to the emperor! I thought Zheng Jiamin was drunk just now, but everyone here is very sober!
When everyone heard this, they all fell silent. The emperor personally gave the plaque. If they said anything else, it would be disrespectful to the emperor!
Shi's concern was not about this. She was grateful that Bei Tangjin did not pursue the matter, but covered up her daughter's crime of disrespecting the emperor with "never heard of it". In this way, her daughter was not guilty.
.
Bei Tang Ru was originally listening to the ladies whispering about how miserable Bei Tang Jin was, and felt happy in her heart. Unexpectedly, after Bei Tang Jin's few words, no one dared to speak!
Wang Yuanxiang had experienced Bei Tangjin's sharp tongue, so this result was not unexpected. However, Helian was extremely shocked. She did not expect Bei Tangjin to be so adaptable. In the blink of an eye, everyone was silenced. But Prince Ming
Although this scroll of Your Highness is for her birthday, it is better to say that it is the one who pushed Bei Tangjin into the fire pit. Just now, she asked Bei Tangjin to toast all the ladies and ladies, and everyone was praising her, but in the blink of an eye, she
The taste has changed.
Helian couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. Everyone said that she was as mean as a poisonous snake, but greed in the world is like a poisonous arrow that pierces people's hearts!
However, even though this scroll brought a lot of trouble to the Beitang family, it was after all King Ming's wish, and she had to accept it, so she said: "What happened today was accidental. I thank His Highness King Ming for his thoughtfulness. Yunzhu
Girl, there’s no need to blame yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Yunzhu ordered the maids to hand the scroll to Helian's personal maid, and then left.
Beitang Xun didn't know what happened to the female guest at this moment. He heard that King Ming came to celebrate her birthday, so he went to greet her in person. However, before he could reach the door, he saw King Ming and the Duke of Qi walking towards him.
He hurriedly saluted King Ming, and was extremely happy. Even King Ming came to wish him a birthday. What an honor it was!
Feng Xi smiled elegantly and said, "Master Shangshu, there is no need to be polite."
Beitang Xun also straightened up and led Prince Ming into the lobby. At this time, there were the eldest prince Fengying, the fourth prince Fengyan, the fifth prince Fengqi, the seventh prince Fenghuan, the ninth prince Fengchen and other princes in the male guest seats.
The noble families are Duke of Song, Duke of Cheng, Duke of Wei, Marquis of Xuanning, Marquis of Linjiang, etc. The ministers of the court include the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Minister of Zheng.
, there were supervisors and censors, bachelors from the Hanlin Academy, etc., it was really lively.
When everyone saw a man in purple clothes who was as handsome as orchid come in, they knew that this man was King Ming, and they all saluted. Feng Xichun just smiled and said: "Today is the birthday of Mrs. Helian, you don't need to be polite."
Beitang Xun had already heard that King Ming had sent a gift to the old lady, so he was extremely happy. At this time, the eldest prince Fengying was sitting at the head of the guests. When he saw King Ming coming, he said to Beitang Xun: "Show it.
Let me take the lead when you get to the table!"
Beitang Xun was extremely embarrassed at this time. He did not expect that Prince Ming would come, so he immediately ordered someone to place a seat in front of the eldest prince Fengying.
The arrival of King Ming made all the ministers cautious, and even the princes were not as cheerful as before.
Feng Yan also didn't expect that Feng Xizhen would come to celebrate Helian's birthday. She couldn't help but feel very strange. Did Feng Xizhen come to Beitang Mansion just to celebrate his birthday? Or to join in the fun? Could it be because of Beitang Jin!
Prince Ming has always liked women with both talent and beauty, and Beitang Jin is just such a woman. However, his father has already planned to marry Beitang Jin to Fengying. Prince Ming must not know about it, right? Could it be that he brought these two people together?
Not only Feng Yan, the fifth prince Feng Qi, the seventh prince Feng Huan, and the ninth prince Feng Chen also guessed the reason why Prince Ming came to celebrate his birthday, but everyone had different ideas. Feng Qi and Feng Huan felt that Prince Ming wanted to seize the throne.
, so he wanted to win over Beitang Xun, but Feng Chen felt that Feng Xichen was really bored, so he came to this birthday banquet, and the person he wanted to win over was not the birthday girl, but Bei Tang Jin.
This woman looked extremely beautiful, but did King Ming know that her heart was more vicious than a hungry wolf?
