Yuan Guiren didn't care what Concubine Li was thinking. She just looked around the flower hall again and said: "Sister, it's true. I know you don't have much money, but didn't you send me 10,000 taels of silver notes that day?"
?Why not use it? Maybe my sister has never organized a palace banquet by herself, so she has no experience. Speaking of which, this palace banquet is really not held like this."
Li Fei looked a little worried, but Yuan Guiren continued to say: "Are you afraid that you will be short of money again after spending all the money? Oh, you! Tell your sister again when the money is gone. Even if she sells iron, it's okay.
I want to help you! You know, the two of us are sisters."
"Huh!" Concubine Li finally spoke, with a hint of sarcasm: "Yes! If I have no money, I will ask you for it, because you are richer than me, and you have the support of your mother's family, but I don't.
So I never dare to be lavish. You also know that we are biological sisters, so I don’t understand. We are both biological children. How come the Liu family can help and protect my sister wholeheartedly, but they can do this to my daughter?
Why don’t you listen and ask?”
Yuan Guiren laughed and said, "Look at what my sister said. Why don't my family members care about my sister? Every time I write to express greetings, my family will ask about my sister in their replies. My mother also said that since my sister entered the palace,
I have never had any contact with my family, and I don’t know what you are thinking. I am afraid that my mother clan will be a drag on you, so I don’t dare to go forward to curry favor with you.”
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Li had to admit a fact. She had indeed not contacted her family since she entered the palace. Even when her parents came to the palace to visit relatives in the early years, she deliberately avoided seeing them.
She didn't mean to be like this, it was just that when she first entered the palace, she was timid and did not dare to interact with her family. Later, she gradually became more withdrawn and did not want to see people all day long, so she gradually became unfamiliar. But no matter what, it is hers.
It is really unreasonable to blame the mother clan for this mistake.
Yuan Guiren's words were clearly heard by everyone in the flower hall. For a while, many people were talking about Concubine Li in private. There were many accusations in their words that she was unkind, but now they are blaming others. Even
At this moment, Zhu Kongshan also understood the reason why Concubine Li looked at her today. The problem really lies with Yuan Guiren.
"Aheng." Xuan Tiange leaned into Feng Yuheng's ear again and said, "Do you know? A former nobleman from Yuan Dynasty sent a theatrical troupe to Concubine Li, and also encouraged Concubine Li to invite the queen to come with her.
Listening to the opera, Li Fei foolishly thought that her sister had good intentions, so she invited the queen over. Guess what? The troupe actually sang a play about a fight between a mistress and a concubine, but the mistress still lost the fight.
Okay, do you think I'll make you laugh?"
Ren Xifeng grinned when he heard this, "In the palace, the queen is naturally the mistress of the house. Although the concubines have noble status, they are just concubines. To sing that kind of drama in front of the queen, the queen was offended by Concubine Li.
It’s painful.”
"So this is how Concubine Li treated the people on Yuan Guiren's side today?" Feng Yuheng nodded, "If you say so, it's time to give them a look." She reached into her sleeves and dug something out.
, the banknote that I had prepared to give to Concubine Li was still inside! "Although I don't like to see Concubine Li either, but compared with Yuan Guiren... I am still happy to cause some trouble for the eighth prince's mother.
.”
She raised the corners of her lips, stood up, and walked towards Concubine Li.
Xuan Tiange didn't know what she was trying to do, but when had Feng Yuheng ever disappointed anyone? Among these royal brothers, the one Xuan Tiange disliked the most was Lao Ba, even more than Lao San.
Not as good. The reason is very simple. More than two years ago, Lao Ba once proposed to Emperor Tianwu that she should go to ancient Shu to get married, but Emperor Tianwu refused. However, the matter came to her ears after going round and round.
After that, I held a grudge against that myna, and I still can’t let go of it to this day.
When Feng Yuheng walked up to Concubine Li, she happened to hear Yuan Guiren say something louder again: "I sent over 10,000 taels of silver notes that day. I originally thought that my sister would hold a palace banquet and it could be used as an emergency.
No, I brought another 10,000 taels of silver notes over today, just because I’m afraid that my sister will spend all the money on the palace banquet, and her hands will be tight again." She said as she actually handed over a silver note.
When he arrived in front of Concubine Li, he stared at Concubine Li with "bad intentions" written all over her eyes.
Some people present were aggrieved: "Why do you still need to give me money? Where did you spend ten thousand taels of silver on today's palace banquet? I'm afraid I won't be able to use up all the ten taels. Since the previous ones have not been used, you don't need to give me more money today."
Let’s go!” Concubine Li’s lack of publicity caused the ladies and ladies below her to lose all respect. Even if there was a concubine holding her down, at this moment they felt that Concubine Li was not as good as a Yuan nobleman at all.
"Don't be unreasonable!" Yuan Guiren pretended to be angry, "How can you talk nonsense in front of Concubine Li? Why don't you apologize quickly?"
Under Yuan Guiren's scolding, the young lady who had just spoken stood up reluctantly, bowed to Concubine Li and said, "Please forgive me, I am a quick talker, so I won't do it next time."
Concubine Li snorted coldly and said to Yuan Gui: "She is right. The gift she gave me before was a congratulatory gift. Since the congratulatory gift has been given, there is no need to give me the banknote today."
"How about that? I brought it here specially. Sister, you..."
Before Yuan Guiren finished speaking, Feng Yuheng couldn't wait any longer and coughed lightly and said: "You two, Aheng will interrupt. Today is the palace banquet of Empress Li Fei. Regardless of whether the banquet is appropriate or not, but
It is to provide everyone with an opportunity to come to the palace to have a happy gathering. It is just a formality, there is no need to pay attention to the details." When she spoke, she looked at the young lady who was still half-bent on her knees waiting for Concubine Li to call her. The words were clearly meant for her.
Listen. "This young lady looks strange. She has never attended palace banquets before, right? She is the daughter of an official below the fourth rank. How dare a mere fourth-rank minister dare to act so recklessly in Changning Palace? I, the princess, still
I really want to know who your father is? If I'm lucky enough to meet him someday, I'd have to ask him how he raised his daughter at home."
The woman was not afraid of Concubine Li because her family had told her that Concubine Li was easy to bully and that they were attracted to the Eighth Prince and Yuan Guiren. The reason why she couldn't hold back what she had in mind.
She came out because Yuan Guiren was sitting there, and she felt that she had support. But she didn't expect that Feng Yu Heng would appear in the middle.
She is not afraid of Concubine Li, but that does not mean that she is not afraid of Feng Yuheng. Now when she heard Feng Yuheng say this, her legs trembled. Her original half-kneeling posture turned into kneeling down, and her voice trembled as she spoke: "
Princess, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
Feng Yuheng ignored her and just said to Concubine Li: "When I came here, I was busy chatting with the empress about daily life, but I forgot about important matters." As he spoke, he handed over the one million taels of silver notes he had prepared.
He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has regained her title as concubine. A-Heng didn't know what to give as a congratulatory gift, so she just asked for something easy. It's a gift from Your Highness and I to keep these one million taels of silver notes."
As soon as this "one million taels" was spoken, the lady below was shocked, and even Zhu Kongshan couldn't help but gasp.
One million taels! This is not a small amount. Princess Yu’s generosity surprised everyone. Some people even speculated why Princess Yu gave such a heavy gift. But think about it, the sixth prince is now living in Ji’an.
On the other side of the county, I heard that I was working as a teacher there. I thought it would be good to have a personal relationship with Princess Yu. I am afraid that this money was also given to the Sixth Prince.
But no matter who it was for, the money was in Li Fei's hands. Li Fei was so happy that her heart blossomed and her face blossomed. As soon as she took it, she did not forget to express her gratitude to Yuan Guiren: "Not all relatives are so generous."
Yuan Gui also had a bit of embarrassment on his face, but he forced himself to say: "Why are we not relatives? Princess Yu is the concubine of His Highness Ninth Highness, and His Highness Ninth Highness and His Highness Sixth are brothers." After saying this, he felt already in his heart.
I scolded Feng Yuheng a thousand times.
Her original intention today was not to simply run against Concubine Li, but she just thought of one fact, that is: even if she climbed back to the position of concubine, she would have no connections and no gold and silver. If she wanted to gain a foothold in this palace, she would only rely on her position.
That was impossible. She thought that her own strength, whether it was inside or outside the palace, whether it was the Eighth Prince's or hers, was unmatched by Concubine Li. She also wanted to make Concubine Li understand that Liu Fei
The gap between the prince and the eighth prince meant that Concubine Li was already so far behind that she couldn't even catch up if she wanted to help her son get the throne.
However, she didn't expect that Feng Yuheng would actually support Concubine Li, which ruined the pattern she had laid out. The scene couldn't be suppressed for a while, and instead she became the lowest-ranking group of people in the flower hall.
Yuan Guiren had no place to put his face, and the ladies and ladies below him were even more embarrassed. Seeing Concubine Li pulling Feng Yuheng into each other's arms for a while, Yuan Guiren felt that he really couldn't stay here any longer, so he hurriedly
I found a reason to resign first.
After she left, Feng Yuheng had no intention of dealing with Concubine Li anymore, so she returned to her place. Many people wanted to imitate Yuan Guiren and leave, but Concubine Li was interested again and was making plans.
Everyone drank tea together and smiled and exchanged a few words with a few people, which made people a little reluctant to leave and unable to save face.
In fact, the ladies present today each have their own thoughts. Many of them are not entirely here for Zhu Kongshan, but because they themselves have feelings for the Sixth Prince. When they came into the palace,
They prepared generous gifts for Concubine Li, hoping to win Concubine Li's favor, but unfortunately their family took the side of the eighth prince, which made both sides in a dilemma. At this time, seeing Yuan Guiren, they were defeated. Their original little thoughts
He was also a little ready to make a move, so someone took the initiative to speak and changed the direction of the conversation: "Actually, a palace banquet like this is better, it will appear less restrictive, and we can talk to Concubine Li so close, just like at home.
Talking to elders is very cordial!"
"Yes, yes!" This was echoed by a small number of people, and someone continued: "I heard that in the past palace banquets, everyone sat far apart, and there were singing and dancing in the middle. It was very noisy and very restrained.
, but it’s different today in Changning Palace. Come to think of it, Concubine Li is really thoughtful.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Fei's heart became brighter. Yes! Although she was a little unhappy today, Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tiange supported her appearance, and the 10,000 taels of silver notes were flashed.
Yuan Guiren's eyes. She felt very happy whenever she thought of Yuan Guiren leaving in despair!
She couldn't help but sigh at Feng Yuheng's good fortune. She looked over and saw Feng Yuheng following a few people talking about something. She was smiling, playful and good-looking. She looked like a married young woman. The more she looked at it, the more she looked at it.
The more he felt that this girl was a perfect match for his son, he couldn't help but sigh: "How wonderful it would be if Feng'er and Ah Heng got married!"
Zuo'er was so frightened that he quickly pulled her sleeves and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, you must not say these words today!"
Li Fei also knew that she had made a mistake, so she suppressed her voice angrily, looked around again, and found that no one had noticed, so she was relieved. But when she glanced around, she saw Feng Fendai who was sitting closest to the door.
He stood up and walked towards her with a smile...
