Not to mention the ladies and ladies who followed, even Zhu Kongshan himself was confused in his heart. What does "now that I'm here" mean? Didn't you, Concubine Li, personally send a message to invite me to come?
But she wanted to think about it in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face. Even if the ladies and ladies behind her didn't have time to go home, she, Zhu Kongshan, was a master in this area. So she had a smile on her face, as if she didn't hear the alienation in Li Fei's words.
Likewise, he stood up and took the initiative to step forward, and said with a smile: "Kongshan has been thinking about the palace banquet here since the last time he came to visit his second aunt. After returning home, he went to the palace with Kongshan to celebrate his return to the throne.
Fortunately, they are all the ladies and ladies who have done good deeds with me in the north of the city. There are still some who have not come together. I will tell you later. I didn’t say hello to my aunt in advance. I hope my aunt won’t blame me. Pengzhou has a tradition of warming houses for new homes.
Kong Shan also has good intentions and hopes that Changning Palace can become lively and that my aunt can live a prosperous and smooth life in the future."
Following Zhu Kongshan's words, the ladies and ladies quickly stepped forward with smiles and presented the gifts they had brought.
Concubine Li knew what Zhu Kongshan meant. When she held a palace banquet, she couldn't invite many people. There were only a few people in the palace, and there were even fewer people outside the palace. If Zhu Kongshan didn't bring these people, it would be awkward and deserted.
Ordinarily, she originally hoped that Zhu Kongshan could bring more people in, and she also thought that the girl's thoughtfulness would definitely think of this for her. But the plan did not change quickly, and now the situation is completely different. Feng Yuheng
Xuan Tiange came, and brought the daughter of the Right Prime Minister's family and the daughter of General Pingnan's family. These four people stopped here and already boosted the confidence of the palace banquet. She no longer needs what Zhu Kongshan brought.
A small character came to fill up the facade. Therefore, the people who were originally looking forward to coming have now become redundant. Even though Li Fei knew in her heart not to hit the smiling person, she could hardly see joy on her face.
The left man led a group of palace servants to come forward to receive the gifts. Then he saw that Concubine Li was not interested in talking to these people, so he smiled and said proactively: "Ladies and ladies, today's banquet will be held in the flower hall. I will take everyone first.
Let’s go to the flower hall!”
Everyone answered in succession that they really did not want to stay in this main hall any longer. Concubine Li's face had made it clear that she was not welcoming to them. The top priority was to get out of Concubine Li's nose and find a place to study this together.
What on earth is going on?
The ladies and ladies left, but Zhu Kongshan stayed. When she came in just now, she paid attention to the courtyard. Now she also saw the main hall, but did not see Mr. Yuan Gui. She knew that Mr. Yuan would definitely come today, but he didn't come.
So early! Seeing Li Fei and Feng Yu Heng talking animatedly, but Feng Yu Heng's tone and expression were indifferent. Most of the time they just nodded and shook their heads without even answering the words. It felt like Li Fei and Feng Yu Heng were talking to each other.
The people on her side were cold and hot, but when it came to Feng Yuheng, everything was reversed.
Zhu Kongshan was wondering what Concubine Li meant by this. Not long after, Zuo'er also came back, looked at Zhu Kongshan, and then reminded Concubine Li: "Madam, everyone has almost arrived, and Princess Wuyang has also arrived."
We’re going to the flower hall, let’s go there early!”
Concubine Li nodded and said repeatedly: "That's right, we can't keep the princess waiting any longer." After saying that, she was about to grab Feng Yuheng's hand.
Feng Yuheng calmly pulled her hand away and said only to Zuo'er: "Hold your mother-in-law, it snowed again last night and it's slippery outside!"
Li Fei was a little embarrassed, but she still smiled. She passed Zhu Kongshan while walking, but it was as if she hadn't seen him. Her attitude was very different from her attitude when they met a few days ago.
Zhu Kongshan followed behind and frowned slightly. He really couldn't understand why Concubine Li changed so quickly. And he had not entered the palace since that day, so he couldn't say he was offended. If there was something wrong here, then
Eighth success is because Yuan Guiren did something to make Concubine Li unhappy, right? She sighed softly in her heart, and was a little troubled. She didn't know what Yuan Guiren had done, but the Eighth Prince asked her to please Concubine Li.
!
The palace banquet was held in the flower hall of Changning Palace, but when people entered the flower hall, they discovered that there was no arrangement like a normal palace banquet. Generally speaking, the host takes the seat at the palace banquet, and the guests sit on both sides, leaving an open space in the middle.
There will be a singing and dancing performance, and then a table will be placed in front of the guest of honor's seat, covered with fruits and drinks, to create the atmosphere of a banquet.
But at the moment, the flower banquet in Changning Palace only has some tables and chairs arranged normally. There is no fixed order, and there is no place for singing and dancing in the middle. The people who came first are sitting scattered like that.
, there is no order at all. There are fruits and wine on the table, but the fruits are just ordinary apples, and grapes that are not very big and do not look very fresh. There is no wine, only tea, plus one plate for each table.
Melon seeds look both shabby and funny. Even ordinary people’s banquets would be better than this, right?
Zhu Kongshan couldn't help but sigh again. She had long heard that this second aunt was withdrawn and didn't know much about the outside world. In the words of Yuan Guiren, she just couldn't get on the stage. But she didn't expect that she would be so inferior! Look around again.
, someone who came first was already there and said in confusion: "Don't there have to be songs and dances at the palace banquet? You can't dance in this place?"
Someone immediately answered: "What's more singing and dancing? In my opinion, it's just a matter of sitting down, chatting, giving gifts, and then leaving. Concubine Li has no intention of hosting a banquet at all. To put it bluntly,
It must be just to receive gifts, right? I heard that Li Fei is quite poor."
The words were not loud, but not quiet either. Zhu Kongshan could hear them, Feng Yuheng could hear them, and even Concubine Li heard them. But she didn't care, she just wanted to let Feng Yuheng go.
Go up to the main seat and sit with her.
But Feng Yuheng shook his head and said: "No, I asked Princess Wuyang to come with me today, so I should sit with her." After saying that, she ignored Concubine Li's eagerness and turned around and ran towards Xuan Tiange.
He walked away. Huang Quan followed from behind, but he couldn't help but said to Concubine Li: "Princess Yu is just a regular visitor today, so you don't have to be too polite."
Huang Quan's words somewhat stimulated Li Fei. Zuo Er, who was supporting her by the side, could clearly feel Li Fei's body trembling, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists in her sleeves. Zuo Er was a little frightened.
He quickly comforted her in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'm right, your attitude towards Princess Yu is indeed too warm."
"What? I like someone, why can't we chat for a few more words?" She said this with a cold face. After saying that, she glared at Zhu Kongshan and immediately changed the subject: "You don't yourself
Find a place to sit, why are you following me all the time?"
Zhu Kongshan was really shot while lying down. He leaned over helplessly and sat down next to the sisters who came with him. He heard the people around him still commenting that the place was not decorated like a banquet. She
He said softly: "We are all a girl's family, so it's not interesting to watch those singing and dancing."
As soon as the words came out, someone immediately reminded the lady who had been complaining that there was no place for singing and dancing: "Stop picking and choosing, remember what we came to the palace for!"
"I know!" The young lady had a bad temper and shook her sleeves, saying impatiently: "Isn't it just to save face for Concubine Li? But what did you say before coming? Although Concubine Li is a concubine,
But we don’t have the power or the face to invite more respectable people to the palace banquet. We come to Changning Palace with generous gifts to make Concubine Li look good. Even if Concubine Li is not moved, she must remember this in her heart.
Love. What is the result? You see, how can this person be so shameless? This shame is so great! Not only the legitimate daughter of the Right Prime Minister's family has come, but also the legitimate daughter of General Pingnan's family has come. Even Princess Yu and Princess Wuyang are here.
Here we come! We can invite these people to a banquet of this size, but why don’t we also invite the Queen and the Empress in a moment?”
"Keep your voice down." Someone quickly persuaded. At the same time, he pointed at Zhu Kongshan, who had no expression on his face, and then lowered his voice and said: "You are here, just do your best. Anyway, if you are wrong, it is not ours."
wrong."
Feng Yuheng looked at the room of Yingying Yanyan with cold eyes. The few Jieyucai girls who came to appreciate the glory even took the initiative to come over to greet her and Xuan Tiange, which made her feel embarrassed. Concubine Li couldn't handle the palace banquet.
, to be honest, it’s really not classy. What kind of banquet is it? It’s just like a tea party, just like a tavern and teahouse, with waiters walking around and refilling the tea from time to time. If the melon seeds are gone, they can be caught again quickly.
There were a few handfuls, but on some tables everyone took all the apples one by one, and no one came to add more. She helplessly said to Xuan Tiange: "Fei Li is really poor."
Xuan Tiange said disdainfully: "She is probably the most embarrassing concubine for my son! You don't know that before Sixth Brother went to the Northeast Camp, Concubine Li would call Sixth Brother into the palace from time to time.
Come here, she usually never walks around by herself, but as soon as the sixth brother came, she took him everywhere, showing off to others that she had a son, which made him so angry that he once retorted to her because of this matter, she said
He even cried a lot, saying that Brother Six was unfilial."
Ren Xifeng also chimed in: "Concubine Li has always valued her son very highly. She believes that her son is worthy of any woman. No matter who he is, as long as His Highness the Sixth Prince falls in love with him, it will be a blessing. Of course, being taken by the prince will be a blessing."
For ordinary people, Zhong is really a blessing, but there is no such sentimental person as Li Fei. One year, I met His Highness the Sixth Prince by chance and exchanged a few words. In Li Fei's opinion, it was that the Sixth Highness looked down on me.
General Nan's Mansion actually sent someone to the Mansion to propose marriage the next day. In front of my father, he even said that by establishing a principal concubine first and then a side concubine two years later, it would be a way of giving face to General Pingnan's Mansion. I
Dad was so angry that he broke the legs of the grandma who came to propose marriage and kicked her out!"
Feng Yuheng didn't expect such a thing to happen. Thinking about Li Fei's attitude towards herself, she finally understood. Dare to love Li Fei's sentimental illness is not something she has just recently. She has had this problem for many years.
What potential!
A few people were talking when they saw another palace attendant leading guests in outside the flower hall. It was a young lady leading a little boy over two years old. Feng Tianyu was the first to let out a sigh, and then said
: "Isn't that the concubine lady from the Feng family?"
Feng Yuheng also saw clearly at this time that the person coming was none other than Feng Fendai, and the one she was holding in her hand was the child she had taken away from Baicaotang a few days ago.
