The palace banquet was still going on. The male guests and the female family members entered the palace through two gates. Feng Jinyuan gave his three daughters a few words and got into his carriage.
Today, the Feng family only prepared one large carriage, and the three ladies wanted to sit together.
Xiangrong and Fendai were already used to it, but Chen Yu was still thinking about her red sandalwood car. Seeing that her face was getting darker and darker, Yilin quickly reminded her in a low voice: "Didn't the eldest lady already have that car ready?"
Did you give it to the old lady?"
Feng Chenyu gritted her teeth: "She can't even get on the bed now, why doesn't she know how to let me sit in the car?"
"Miss, please don't get angry, entering the palace is the most important thing."
Chen Yu also knew this truth, so she took a deep breath and finally suppressed her depressed mood. She stepped forward and got on the carriage first.
Fendai rolled her eyes at Chen Yu and followed closely behind, hoping to be the last one to get on the bus, but she only had the seat at the far side.
She sat down carefully and held the hem of her clothes tightly with her hands for fear of getting them dirty.
The more Fen Dai and Chen Yu looked at it, the more they felt that the center of the lake was so hard that they couldn't help but look away. None of the three of them paid attention to the other.
The palace gate entering the palace this time is called Xiangrui Gate. It is said that the show girls walked through during the former emperor's talent show. Emperor Tianwu has not had a talent show in the past ten years. Many people thought that this palace door would never be opened again, but they did not expect that today,
When the female relatives of officials from the capital were welcomed into the palace, they were ordered to enter the palace through the auspicious gate.
There is still a nun at the door checking the invitations, and at the same time recording the people who enter the palace.
When the Feng family's carriage stopped nearby, many people looked this way.
Fendai was very excited and had never attended such a banquet. She couldn't hold it back and was the first to rush out of the car.
But most people didn't recognize the fourth young lady of the Feng family. They took one look at her and thought she was not wearing expensive fabrics, so they didn't take her seriously. Some even thought she was a maid and said: "After all,
This is the Feng family, a high-ranking family, and every maid is dressed so elegantly."
Fendai's sharp ears immediately took in what she said, and she glared angrily: "Who do you think is the maid?"
The girl was startled, but she quickly understood that she had misunderstood, and quickly leaned over to apologize.
Fendai ignored her and stood alone admiring the palace gate.
This was her first time entering the palace, and everything was fresh and fresh to her. Even the nuns and maids standing outside the door gave her a strong sense of freshness.
It was just that the ladies waiting in line to enter the palace made her a little unhappy. She saw that each of the people was dressed more beautifully than the other, and almost all the expensive clothes and precious accessories were worn on them. Only then did Fendai realize that she looked very good yesterday.
Compared with what other ladies and ladies wear, her ready-made clothes are worse than those of the servants around her. Especially the accessories on her body are even more shabby.
Although Mrs. Han has been favored by Feng Jinyuan over the years, after all, Mrs. Shen was in charge of the middle post, so she really could not get any actual benefits. And Feng Jinyuan was not someone who would give things to his concubine in private.
Temptation, Han has actually gained nothing in these years.
Fendai couldn't help but scold Mr. Han again in her heart, but before the scolding could get enough, she heard a sudden exclamation from the crowd, and everyone's eyes turned to one place.
She was slightly startled and turned her head, but just in time she saw Feng Xiangrong bending over and getting out of the carriage. The floor-length winter skirt made in the middle of the lake lined her young and petite face, and she looked like she was in the middle of the lake.
The fairy is so beautiful that all the ladies present lose their color.
Fendai had never thought Xiangrong was so good-looking before, and she had never even looked at this third sister. But when she saw her today, she realized that she had ignored too many people and things in the house.
She didn't even know he was so promising.
"I heard that these clothes were given by His Royal Highness King Chun yesterday." Someone in the crowd whispered.
"Why did His Highness Prince Chun give clothes to a concubine of the Feng family?"
"Who knows, Prince Chun is said to be very close to the second young lady of the Feng family, but when did he become so familiar with the third young lady?"
"Stop talking about it. How can we afford to talk about a person like His Majesty the Seventh Prince in private?"
As soon as these words were spoken, people agreed one after another. As long as they thought of Xuan Tianhua's appearance as if he did not exist in the world, people felt that even if it was a private discussion, it would be a kind of blasphemy for His Highness the Seventh Prince.
So he stopped talking, and no one said anything else. Even the eyes looking at Xiangrong changed from the initial surprise to "This is probably the charity of His Highness the Seventh Prince."
Xiangrong didn't care about this, got out of the car, walked lightly to the end of the row and stood there.
At this time, Chen Yu also got out of the car, and everyone said "Huh" in question.
"Who is this?" Someone finally couldn't help but wonder, "Is there a young lady with this skin color in the Feng family?"
Someone who knew about it gave a sweet smile and said, "What kind of skin color do you have? It's obviously the black rouge that the Queen Empress rewarded."
"Ah!" Someone finally recognized Shen Yu, "Isn't that the eldest lady of the Feng family? Doesn't it mean that she is a stunning beauty? She is enough to rank first in the capital?"
"No matter how beautiful a person is painted like this, how can she still look good?" People hummed quietly, and no one greeted Chen Yu.
Fen Dai felt comfortable listening to people talking about Chen Yu. She couldn't help but step forward, stood next to Chen Yu and said: "Sister, you are the legitimate daughter of the Feng family, why don't you say hello to these ladies? According to our family
In terms of official rank, they are far behind you."
Chen Yu wanted to strangle Feng Fendai to death. Didn't she want to chat with others? But look at these ladies and ladies. They all looked away when they saw her. They made it clear that they didn't want to talk to her, so why bother to go there?
Annoying?
She didn't care about Fendai, and turned around and walked towards the end of the row. But after walking a few steps, she saw that Xian Rong, who had gone by earlier, was already chatting enthusiastically with several ladies, and there was also a lady who had just walked over and looked at Xiang Rong.
Rong said loudly: "Aren't you the third young lady of the Feng family who came to the Yuexi Palace banquet with Princess Yu last time?"
Xiangrong smiled at her and replied, "Exactly. How is Miss Yuan doing lately?"
The girl called Miss Yuan had a smile on her face and said quickly: "Everything is fine with me, how about you?"
Xiangrong also nodded: "Me too."
Several girls gathered together and had a lively chat and laugh. Chen Yu and Fen Dai looked at it and felt dazzled, but they had no choice but to line up with Xiangrong. They had no choice but to go forward.
When the ladies saw them coming, they gradually stopped laughing, stood quietly, and stopped talking.
Fendai said desperately: "It's finally quiet." This attracted the glares of all the ladies.
Xiangrong actually wanted to remind Fendai to be extremely careful when speaking and doing things in the palace, but how could Fendai look like she could listen to advice like this? She swallowed the words several times before she swallowed them, and finally chose not to say them. Anshi was right.
, everyone has his or her own destiny, and no one can control anyone else.
People entered the palace one by one. Xiangrong never saw Xuan Tiange and the others. After asking the ladies nearby, he found out that Princess Wuyang was originally from the royal family and there was no need to queue outside. As for the other ladies,
Princess Wuyang also brought her in early.
Finally, they checked their name stickers and entered the palace. As they thought, they found that the palace banquet this time seemed to be in a different place than the last time. Although it was a different palace gate, they were definitely not going in the direction of Liuli Garden.
She was thinking that it was winter now, so the palace banquet should be held indoors, right?
But the palace maid who led the way led them to a large lake. The lake was not frozen, and there were boats of various sizes on the lake, some with people on them, and some with people on them.
Empty ship.
Seeing another group of people coming, the eunuch in charge of the boat quickly docked the boat and asked the palace maid who was leading the way: "How many groups are there?"
The palace maid replied: "About three batches." Then she turned around and said to the palace maid's female relatives: "Today's palace banquet will be held on the small island in the middle of the lake. Everyone must take a boat to the island. First,
The adults and ladies who entered the palace have already passed, let's hurry up!" After saying that, they began to arrange for people to get on the boat one by one.
Naturally, the three ladies from the Feng family were riding together. The boat was not big, so it swayed slightly when rowing. A few of them clung to the pillars of the boat, but they still stood and enjoyed the scenery freshly.
Chen Yu was standing next to Fen Dai, and he had been looking around the lake constantly since he got on the boat. Seeing her like this, Fen Dai knew that she was looking for someone, and then thinking about the various behaviors that Han mentioned about her towards His Majesty Seventh Prince, where?
Still not knowing what Chen Yu was thinking, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "Eldest sister, please stop thinking about tarnishing His Highness Prince Chun, and don't think about whether you are worthy enough now."
"Feng Fendai." Shen Yu didn't get angry this time, but reminded her in a cold voice: "Don't think that if you can come back with the imperial edict this time, you can live in the mansion forever. As long as my father doesn't give up on me, you will
I can't turn over, let alone..." She glanced to the side, "I still have Xiangrong above you. Your mother is the most respected person in the world. Do you think that based on this, you still have a chance in this life?
Hope?"
After all, how much older is Chen Yu than her, and she has been her legitimate daughter for so many years, so she still has some tricks up her sleeve when it comes to scaring people.
Fendai was so angry at what she said that she stamped her feet fiercely, but she forgot that she was on a boat. The boat shook for a while, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale.
The eunuch who was holding the boat said: "Ladies, be sure not to move around. This boat is small. If it falls into the water, it will be very difficult in this cold weather."
This sentence reminded Fendai, and she stared at the cold lake water, not doing much, and felt that if Feng Chenyu fell down and drowned at this time, her arrogance as a legitimate daughter might be drowned.
As she thought this, her arms began to move unconsciously.
Unfortunately, Feng Chenyu had already noticed that her expression was not at ease, and had already been more careful when Fendai was staring at the lake water. Now that she saw her arms slightly raised, she couldn't understand what she meant.
However, Chen Yu didn't expose it, he just carefully calculated the distance and moved back. When Fen Dai attacked hard, she pulled Xian Rong over!
Fendai was off guard, and with a strong push from her outstretched arm, Xiangrong, who was still stunned on the spot, was thrown into the water.
There was only a "plop", followed by Feng Chenyu's scream - "No! Someone's coming! Someone fell into the water!" While shouting, he looked at Xiang Rong in the water and kept asking: "
Third sister, are you okay? Third sister?"
The lake water in the cold winter is bone-chilling. Although it is not frozen, it is slightly covered with ice. Not to mention people falling into it, people in the palace would be grinning from the cold even if they put their hands into the lake water.
Xiangrong felt that he was frozen in an instant, unable to lift his arms, and quickly sank to the bottom of the water. [End of Chapter]
