Qing Le knew that Chen Yu could not enter the palace, but she did not understand why Chen Yu had to enter the palace.
"Although the palace banquet on Yuexi is grand, it is not mandatory to go. You haven't been there in so many years, why do you have to go this year?"
Chen Yu had already thought about what to say: "This is Feng Yuheng's first time attending a palace banquet. No matter how carefully she prepares, there will always be omissions. What's more, such omissions can be controlled by us. Princess
Don’t you want to see where she makes a fool of herself?”
Feng Chenyu's words successfully aroused Qing Le's interest. Qing Le thought about it and finally gave her an idea: "On the eve of the lunar month, you paint your face darker and pretend to be my slave. I will
I can risk taking you into the palace."
Chen Yu was very excited and quickly nodded in agreement: "Princess, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
Qingle warned her: "If you are recognized, I will not protect you."
Chen Yu nodded: "I will never harm the princess."
The two decided that on the eve of the lunar month, Chen Yu would go to King Ding'an's village in the suburbs of Beijing in advance to wait. Before leaving, he thought about it and reminded Chen Yu: "The Queen is most afraid of cats."
Chen Yu silently wrote it down.
Yuexi came as soon as she said she would. Just when Feng Yuheng was still thinking about finding a good opportunity to take a closer look at Xuan Tianming's legs, Yao told her: "Tonight is Yuexi." At the same time, he took Qingling.
The two pieces of clothing he held in his hand: "Originally, it would be nice for you and Xiangrong to wear those two gorgeous clothes, but after all, it's not good for you to dress so gorgeously just after Shen passed away. These two pieces are what I arranged for you."
My aunt discussed it and made it in a hurry. One is water blue and the other is moon white. They are just right for you."
Feng Yuheng was counting the days in a daze, wasn't it? Today is August 15th.
Mrs. Yao said to her: "The palace banquet is in the evening, so the reunion banquet in the mansion will be held at noon. I see that the old lady has no preparations. I guess she has no intention of attending this year, so the only thing left is
You and Xiangrong are together. Have you memorized all the rules in the palace that I told you before?"
Yao was worried and reminded her: "You have a good relationship with Tian Ge. When you get to the palace, stay with Tian Ge. Your Aunt Lan will also remind you if anything happens."
Hearing Yao mention Princess Wenxuan, Feng Yuheng also thought of it, and advised Yao: "Mom, you should go out and walk more often. Your left and right Zi Rui is not at home, and you have nothing to do. It is better to let Huang Quan accompany you more."
Come and sit at Prince Wenxuan's Mansion, I think Aunt Lan misses you too."
Mrs. Yao smiled bitterly, "I am a concubine after all. I can leave the house as soon as I say it."
"Mom, you can say that you're going to take care of the shop, or you can just say so. I'm afraid the old lady wants you to go to Prince Wenxuan's palace more often."
Yao nodded, "Let's talk about it after Yue Xi."
Feng Yuheng didn't say anything else. After waiting for a while to think about her appearance, the two sisters tried on their clothes before heading to Shuya Garden together.
Today's noon reunion banquet was held in Shuya Garden, because the old lady said that Shen's mourning hall was built in Peony Courtyard, and she felt uncomfortable thinking about it, so she decided not to go there at all.
After everyone sat down, Feng Jinyuan looked at the table of regular meals and said, "It doesn't feel as good as the medicinal meal prepared by Ah Heng that day."
The old lady agreed: "Why don't you do it again for Ah Heng another day?"
Feng Yuheng was amused when he heard that, "Aheng's medicated diet that day was just a scratch. It was made by the royal chef and Mr. Mo, and it was a recipe used by the emperor and queen. How can we eat it as long as we say so?"
Up."
When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help complaining about Shen again: "If it weren't for that Shen who made trouble, it would have been delicious. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was wasted."
Feng Jinyuan said: "Let's forget it. At least Mr. Mo didn't tell the emperor. Otherwise, I'm afraid our Feng family will still be offended."
The old lady sighed repeatedly, and An quickly reconciled: "Today is the eve of the moon, let's not talk about this."
"Yes." The old lady also reacted, "The two children are going to the palace tonight, we can't affect the children's mood." While talking, she asked Feng Yuheng: "You are almost ready.
?”
Feng Yu Heng replied: "Grandma, don't worry. Aunt Yao has told me and Xiangrong all the rules in the palace, the moonlight gifts prepared for the empress, and the gifts for empress Yun and her granddaughter's good sisters and family."
It’s all ready.”
Feng Yuheng is very attentive. It is always wrong not to go see Concubine Yun once when entering the palace. In addition, at the last funeral of the Shen family, Xuan Tiange and four others came to Feng Mansion, and each of them was generous and gave away gifts.
The old lady, but actually she was fighting for her face, and she also hoped that the old lady of the Feng family would treat her better from now on for the sake of these things. So when she meets them again, she can't express her disapproval at all.
Of course, she couldn't come up with such good things, and the Feng family had never given her anything good. All the items in her hand were delivered to her by Xuan Tianming.
Feng Yuheng felt that no gift could compare to what someone else had given her, so she simply took a different approach and used the moves she was good at.
"Aheng is so attentive." I heard that not only had gifts been prepared for the queen, but also for Concubine Yun and several other sisters. The old lady was very satisfied, but she couldn't help but ask: "Aheng is from the dowry."
Is it something picked out? Oh, this kind of thing should be prepared by the government, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Feng Yuheng smiled and said, "Grandma is overly concerned. Whether it's the Queen or Concubine Yun, if we haven't seen any good things, how can we pick out better ones? It was Ah Heng who prepared some health care products in the medicine room.
The medicinal materials are considered a gift, and I believe the empress will not dislike them." In fact, where are the ordinary medicinal materials? How could they be different from those given by Feng Yuheng's hands? But she didn't want to tell the people of Feng Mansion.
The old lady is inherently greedy and stingy, so it would be best for Feng Yuheng not to prepare gifts for her father-in-law, otherwise she would have to spend some money.
The family was chatting and laughing and preparing to eat. The old lady looked around and sighed: "Is Chen Yu still unwilling to go out?"
In recent days, Chen Yu has been bored in the yard and refused to come out. The old lady asked someone, but she only came back and said that the eldest lady was in a bad mood.
The old lady thought that she must be unhappy because she could not enter the palace. Thinking about it, the two concubines were invited by name, but no one mentioned her as the legitimate daughter. Who would be happy if she let go?
Feng Jinyuan felt unhappy: "Chen Yu is also spoiled."
Feng Yuheng tried to persuade her: "Father, don't blame eldest sister. It was all the trouble caused by my mother in the past. My eldest sister was implicated for nothing. Today is the eve of the lunar month again. I think... I also miss my mother."
When she said this, Feng Jinyuan couldn't say anything else. Shen Yu was Shen's biological child after all, and it would be too unkind to ask her to be happy in such a short period of time after Shen's death.
So they stopped talking and the family started eating.
While eating, the old lady was still a little unwilling and asked Feng Yuheng: "Aheng doesn't know how to make those medicinal meals?"
Feng Yuheng replied with a smile: "It's not that I can't do it, I can still do simple things, and I know all the recipes. If grandma likes to eat it, then Aheng will specially find a reliable cook in the future, just like the imperial chef assisted Mr. Mo
How about specifically assisting Ah Heng in making medicinal meals for grandma?"
The old lady was overjoyed when she heard this, "Okay! Of course!" Then she looked at Jin Zhen and said, "Give Jin Zhen something to replenish her body too. She is young and will have to help the Feng family in the future.
The branches and leaves are blooming."
When the old lady mentioned this, Han's heart became unhappy again. Fendai was sent away, and there was no hope for her life, but if she could have another child, it would be different.
Feng Yuheng heard the old lady mention Jin Zhen and said casually: "Aunt Jin Zhen has just had her confinement. Her body needs to be replenished, but replenishing her body is not enough. She also needs to keep her mood happy." While talking,
Looking at Feng Jinyuan: "Auntie used to be the girl next to my mother. There seem to be three more people with her, right?"
Feng Jinyuan thought for a moment, "I sold two of them and left one in the Jinyu Courtyard to guard."
The old lady also thought about it: "Is it the one named Manxi?"
Feng Jinyuan nodded.
Feng Yuheng immediately suggested: "I think the four of them have grown up together and have a very good relationship. Why not let Na Manxi go to Aunt Jinzhen to serve her? If she can talk to her more on weekdays, she will be in a much better mood."
The old lady thought the same thing and agreed immediately.
Jin Zhen sat on the table, gave Feng Yuheng a grateful look, and then thanked the old lady and Feng Jinyuan.
A reunion dinner on the eve of the moon can be considered enjoyable.
In the evening, Feng Yuheng and Feng Xiangrong got on the carriage entering the palace under the instructions of everyone in the Feng Mansion. Feng Jinyuan also got on another carriage alone. The male guests and female family members entered from different palace gates.
The path they take is naturally different.
Each of them brought a girl, Feng Yuheng brought Huang Quan, and Xiangrong brought a girl named Mingzhu.
After the carriage was far away from Feng Mansion, Xiangrong finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I wasn't too nervous at first, but after they talked about it all afternoon, it made me nervous. Oh, by the way," she remembered something, "Second Sister
, Xiangrong didn’t prepare a gift for the Queen alone. Aunt An said that the old lady didn’t say anything, and we couldn’t prepare anything good ourselves, so we might as well share it with my father.”
Feng Yuheng patted Xiangrong's hand and said, "The things I prepared for the Queen are double, so forget it and keep it from you."
Xiangrong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, second sister. When I heard my grandmother talk about preparing gifts during lunch, I was still worried, fearing that when my father got away with something, it wouldn't be ours."
Feng Yuheng smiled, "Don't worry, even if we are not prepared, our father will not count us out. He is not afraid of our embarrassment, but he must think about the Feng family's face."
The two chatted all the way, and after a while, they arrived at the palace gate.
The female family members walked to the Queyuan Gate in the west, as they did every year. When they arrived, many ladies and ladies were already gathered at the palace gate, waiting to check their names one by one before entering the palace gate.
When Feng Yuheng and Xiangrong stepped out of the car, they did not attract much attention. After all, those who could come to the palace banquet were all serious official ladies, both in terms of their own qualities and the world they had seen.
, none of them can compare to the guests at Princess Ding'an's birthday banquet.
She pulled Xiangrong towards the end of the queue, while looking around to see if there were any of the Ren Xifeng sisters. Don't expect to see Xuan Tiange here. He was a member of the royal family, so there was no need to queue up to enter the palace.
As they were watching, at this moment, another carriage came speeding up the official road. It was a bit fast, bringing up bursts of dust.
The charming ladies immediately covered their mouths and noses with their handkerchiefs, and frowned to look around. They saw the carriage stopped in front of Queyuan Gate. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a woman with her head wrapped tightly in silk gauze walked out of it.
Coming down, there was a girl in red following behind her. [End of Chapter]
