56. Chapter 56 [Palace banquet with birds and phoenix] 2
However, when Leng Meiying said that she could go buy another gift again, the eldest lady firmly objected. Firstly, she didn't have enough time, and secondly, she didn't show her sincerity.
The carriage was ready. Although we had agreed that the whole family would go together, the second lady and others took the first step in their special carriage. Leng Meiying and the eldest lady Dong'er took the carriage in the house.
Ordinary carriages go to the palace, and the difference in treatment is not even the slightest.
Passing through the Nine Palaces and Eighteenth Gate, with the East Palace in sight, Leng Meiying and the others got off the carriage very early, but carriages were not allowed in the palace.
Following a young eunuch into the banquet venue, everyone could already feel the roar of people in the distance.
"It's just in front. We have things to do at home so I won't accompany you all!" The little eunuch pointed to a large garden in front, and then quickly retreated.
Leng Meiying and the other three strolled up, turned a corner of the garden, and a crisp sound suddenly rang out.
"Hey, isn't this the third sister?"
Raising her head, Leng Meiying saw Leng Yuefeng, who was dressed like a cuckoo, looking over proudly with her head raised. Next to her, the second lady looked over, with a slightly angry look on her face.
How could this third girl be so bold and come here dressed like this? But why didn’t I realize that this girl was so beautiful before...
Leng Meiying ignored her, but the eldest lady nodded towards them with a slightly fearful expression.
Leng Yuefeng and the other three seemed to have just arrived here. After saying hello, they entered the banquet venue one after another.
Outside the garden stands a stone as tall as a man, with the three characters "Baixiangyuan" written in bright red on it.
A group of maids carried various birthday cakes, fragrant cakes, colored candies and flowers to each guest. At this time, dozens or hundreds of royal relatives had gathered in Baixiang Garden. They gathered in twos and threes.
Chatting with each other.
As soon as Leng Meiying and his family entered Baixiang Garden, all kinds of greetings came to them, but they were not directed at Leng Meiying or the eldest lady.
"Oh, Yue Feng, you are finally here. We have been missing you for a long time..."
"Second sister, why are you here? I'm waiting for you to play with us..."
"Second sister, you're late. You'll have to drink as a penalty later..."
A group of young men and women rushed up, surrounded Leng Yuefeng, and kept asking questions. Leng Yuefeng chirped like a little sparrow and responded casually, as happily as a fish in water.
As the second aunt is the queen's sister and the nominal owner of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, she is naturally even more popular. The wives and concubines of the ministers of civil and military affairs gathered around to pay her respects and greet her with great enthusiasm.
Compared to Leng Yuefeng and her daughter, Leng Meiying and her daughter were treated quite deserted. Except for the two sweet palace ladies, no one came up to say hello or anything, standing at the door of Baixiang Garden.
, the eldest lady didn’t even know which way to turn.
Leng Yuefeng, who was surrounded by the crowd, proudly glanced at the mother and daughter who were isolated outside the crowd, and felt happy.
Leng Meiying was dressed in a plain white dress. Standing among a group of women in fresh clothes and pink skirts, she looked extremely pure. Her unworldly temperament and alluring face made her stand out from the crowd, making her stand out incomparably.
The royal relatives all secretly marveled at how they had never felt before that the third young lady of Zhen Guo Hou Mansion was so beautiful, almost like a fairy daughter descended from the earth.
