Chen Danzhu followed the four palace maids to where Concubine Xian and Concubine Xu were. There were no accidents along the way. The ladies playing around had all come over, and their eyes were focused on the pavilion. King Yan and King Qi each stood there.
Beside the virtuous concubine Xu Concubine, Feng Shen is handsome and chatting and laughing happily.
Concubines Xian and Concubine Xu each held a lucky bag in their hands and looked at it with smiles on their faces.
A palace maid came forward to report that Miss Danzhu had arrived.
Chen Danzhu did not come forward. In fact, before the palace maid came forward, everyone had already looked over. Concubine Xu naturally noticed it, but she did not look over until the palace maid reported. Chen Danzhu stood there and saluted them.
.
Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Miss Danzhu, come and sit here?"
Concubine Xu also nodded and told the maids beside her to "show Princess Danzhu her seat."
The pavilion is not big. In addition to the noble ladies of the aristocratic families, young ladies are standing outside. Fortunately, the pavilion is broad, so standing outside does not affect the view of the two princes.
Even if Chen Danzhu was not the princess, no one would dare to say anything when she sat in.
Hearing Concubine Xu's words, Concubine Xian looked at her in surprise. Of course she knew about Chen Danzhu and Prince Qi, and she also knew how much Concubine Xu hated Chen Danzhu. She deliberately asked Chen Danzhu to sit here, which disgusted Concubine Xu and her son.
Well - I didn't expect that Concubine Xu didn't look disgusted at all, and the smile on her face was not fake.
Chen Danzhu didn't care what the two empresses were thinking, and of course she wouldn't go in and sit there.
"Thank you, ma'am." She thanked her with a smile, "I just want to be here with you all."
After saying that, she looked to the side. Liu Wei and Li Lian, who were standing at the back of the crowd, waved to her and she walked over.
The virtuous concubine Xu Fei didn't say anything. She smiled and then looked at the lucky bag in her hand and asked the prince next to her, "Do you have any Buddhist verses written by the imperial master himself?"
King Yan and King Qi said yes, and the ladies beside them all asked, "What is it?" After asking, they immediately waved their hands, "Can you say it? If you can't say it, don't say it."
There was lively chatting and joking here, and Chen Danzhu, Li Lian and Liu Wei were also laughing happily over there.
"Where have you been?" Liu Wei asked in a low voice, "I haven't seen you yet, and the princess is still looking for you."
"I'm going to find a quiet place where no one is." Chen Danzhu whispered, "Where is the princess?"
Li Lian said, "The princess has been playing with us for a while, but she didn't find you. She said she was tired and went back to the palace to rest. Let's finish here and let's go find her to play together."
Chen Danzhu nodded, and heard a burst of laughter in front of him. I don't know which lady said something, but Concubine Xu and the two princes all laughed.
On the other side, Eunuch Jinzhong came with his people.
"Congratulations to Concubine Xian and Concubine Xu." He said loudly, "I can feel the happiness of the concubines from a distance."
The virtuous concubine Xu Concubine smiled and spoke to him, and then looked at her seat. Eunuch Jinzhong declined, "Your Majesty asked the old slave to deliver -" He stopped here and said, "Where is His Royal Highness King Lu?"
Concubine Xu smiled and said, "Your Highness, are you shy and hiding?" After saying that, she glanced at Concubine Xian beside her and said, "She is as shy as my sister."
Why should you be so shy when you have become a prince? She is not a child. Concubine Xian was stung by Concubine Xu's words and her smile froze. She glanced at King Yan, "Why don't you take him with you? What does your father ask of you on a daily basis?"
?”
Concubine Xu smiled at the side. Your Majesty only asked King Yan to be an elder brother. He did not ask for anything else, and he was not required to do anything. If there is anything good, he should show it off at all times.
King Yan smiled awkwardly and whispered to Concubine Xian, "Fourth brother has gone to change clothes."
They were talking, and Eunuch Jinzhong smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, King Lu, is here."
Everyone looked over and saw King Lu hurriedly running from a distance with a eunuch. Because he was walking in such a hurry, he tripped and staggered.
Concubine Xu chuckled, "His Royal Highness King Lu is really impatient."
Concubine Xian cursed in her heart for this undesirable thing, and with a smile on her face, she said softly, "Slow down, why are you in such a hurry?"
King Lu came closer, his face turned red and white, his eyes were still a little distracted, he looked really embarrassed and lost as if he had fallen down——
"What's wrong?" Concubine Xian asked, looking at him and frowning unhappily, "Why did you change your clothes?"
Today's dress was prepared by her herself. It was beautiful and well-fitting. But what King Lu was wearing now was an old dress. It couldn't be said to be old. It was also a new dress that had never been worn. It was just kept stacked up.
It seems to be put on in a hurry and looks very inappropriate.
This must have been found from King Lu's original palace.
"Mother Concubine." King Lu whispered in a low voice, "I feel uncomfortable in my stomach, just, just——"
Just soiled her clothes? Concubine Xian really didn't want to look at him again. "Stand behind your brother. Don't delay Jin Zhong's speech."
King Lu lowered his head, then quietly raised his head to search. Among the dazzling crowd of women, he suddenly saw Chen Danzhu. Chen Danzhu smiled sweetly at him——
King Lu shuddered, his face turned a bit paler, and he hurriedly stood behind King Yan.
"You look really bad." King Yan asked in a low voice, "Are you really hungry?"
It turns out that you didn’t go to peek at the ladies, but you actually had diarrhea?
Of course King Lu didn't dare to tell the truth, so he was vague about his kindness.
Here, Eunuch Jinzhong still didn't say anything. The Crown Princess, who had been entertaining female guests and then disappeared to nowhere, came over with a smile and the maid.
"I heard that His Majesty sent good things over." She smiled, "I'll come and take a look."
Seeing her coming and hearing the meaning of her words, the ladies and ladies present all exchanged looks.
"Danzhu." Liu Wei leaned close to Chen Danzhu and whispered, "Have you heard the rumors that the Crown Princess——"
Chen Danzhu shushed her and signaled that Eunuch Jinzhong was about to speak. Moreover, Liu Wei had better not tell the rumors about the prince in public. It would be troublesome if someone deliberately framed her. She also knew about the rumors.
She knew Liu Wei's kindness, so she shook Liu Wei's hand and whispered, "Don't worry."
Liu Wei nodded, took a deep breath and looked forward.
The Crown Princess had already sat down. When Eunuch Jinzhong saw that everyone had come this time, he stopped delaying and told everyone about the congratulatory gift the Imperial Master had given to the Prince. Everyone was also filled with admiration, and the atmosphere was a bit tense amidst the admiration.
Many girls clenched their hands and prayed to Buddha again to make their wishes come true.
In this tense atmosphere, Eunuch Jinzhong pointed to the box held by the young eunuch and said that this trip was also the important purpose of today's banquet.
"In order to let everyone rejoice with the princes, the Imperial Master specially presented sixty-six blessing bags, sixteen of which contained Buddhist verses. His Majesty asked the old slave to give them to the Concubine Xian and give them to the guests here." He smiled.
said.
As soon as this statement came out, the guests who had already known about it and those who didn't know much about it all happily thanked the emperor for his kindness.
The Concubine Xian asked the Grand Palace Lady how many guests there were. Of course there were more than sixty-six guests.
"It's better than this." Concubine Xian said with a smile, "Let's just leave it to the young people."
Of course no one objected.
But how can so many people give it? Concubine Xu smiled and said, "Put it here and let the girls choose one by one. Whoever chooses it will be the winner. Let's see who is lucky enough to get the one with Buddhist verses."
The virtuous concubine nodded with a smile, and the maids moved away the melons, fruits, tea, and put the lucky bags and boxes on them. The outside of the pavilion also became lively, and the girls laughed in low voices. You push me and I push you, whoever comes first -
"Of course we are the last." Li Lian told Liu Wei.
Liu Wei was happy enough to take a lucky bag home. "I gave it to brother Zhang Yao to wish him safety and success outside."
Chen Danzhu listened to them with a smile. He looked at the pavilion from the corner of his eye and saw the virtuous concubine Xu Fei and her maids standing beside the box. Apparently they had arranged their own manpower. King Yan and King Lu were talking in a low voice.
There was a waiter beside Xiu Rong who was whispering——
Suddenly Chu Xiurong looked over, their eyes met, but Chen Danzhu did not avoid him and smiled at him.
Chu Xiurong looked at her. For the first time, there was no smile on her face, but a gloomy look in her eyes that she had never seen before.
Chen Danzhu was shocked and thought, what's worse, Chu Xiurong knew the rumors that the prince deliberately spread.
Just as she was about to shake her head at Chu Xiurong, Chu Xiurong had already looked away.
"Concubine, I would like to personally deliver these blessing bags." He said, stepped forward, pushed the two maids away, and stood in front of the box containing the blessing bags.
