Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 299 Flower Appreciation Banquet ([-])
April 22nd.Concubine Bu Zhaojia took over the power of the harem on her behalf, and invited the concubines, nobles, mistresses and concubines who stayed in the harem to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers together.

Bu Bin sat in front of the stone bench in the Yujing Pavilion on the top of Duixiu Mountain early, accompanied by the new nobleman and Yuan Guiren.

Many young masters and concubines came one after another. After first saluting Concubine Bu and others, they went down the mountain to enjoy the flowers around.

Bu Bin looked at the new nobleman and Yuan nobleman who were carefully sitting next to them, and ordered: "Don't sit here anymore, go and enjoy the flowers."

"Yes." The new nobleman and Yuan nobleman quickly stood up and bowed to the concubine before leaving, and then went down the mountain with the help of their respective maids.

Bu Bin stood up, and Ji Heping, who was waiting beside him, quickly stepped forward to serve.

Concubine Bu put her hand on Ji Heping's sleeve, walked to the corner of Yujing Pavilion and looked at the three or two low-level concubines gathered together below.

"I am even more grateful to Sister An Bin now." Bu Bin said with a smile.

"Empress." Ji Heping also became excited when talking about his old master.

When Bu Bin touched her concubine, Wan Xian gave her a white jade bracelet and said, "If it weren't for Sister An Bin's final decision at that time, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"But this is also your creation, my queen." Ji Heping said jokingly.

"That's true." Bu Bin turned around and sat back on the stone bench, and continued: "The recent major events in the harem have made people panic. Today's flower viewing banquet is for the purpose of pacifying the harem."

"Your Majesty, you are so considerate." Ji Heping praised.

"This is not my thoughtful thought. It's clearly just the wise Lord Long Live." As soon as Bu Bin said this, she remembered what Wei Zhu came to say three days ago.

Seeing Bu Bin deep in thought, Ji Heping also closed his mouth.

After a while, Bu Bin sighed to Ji Heping: "Seeing that Lord Long Live cares for Wanxian so much, I can finally let go of my worries."

"Your Majesty, just let it go. In fact, I have something I don't know whether to say or not." Ji Heping breathed a sigh of relief and said carefully.

"It doesn't matter, I won't treat you as an outsider, you just say so." Bu Bin waved her hand to show that she didn't mind.

"Hey. Actually, I feel that your words of comfort to Concubine Shu these past times have gone too far." Ji Heping explained in a low voice.

Bu Bin sighed and said: "I also know it. But good words are hard to hear. What I say is not for her."

"This servant knows that the empress has good intentions. But think about it, empress. After all, Concubine Shu has been the only favorite since she first received the favor of the dragon. Apart from Concubine Shu, Long Live Master has never attracted any concubines. It can be seen from this that Long Live Lord truly cares for Concubine Shu." Ji Heping carefully helped Bu Bin to analyze the situation clearly.

Bu Bin nodded after listening to Ji Heping's analysis, indicating that it made sense.

"Besides, you also know what Concubine Shu was like before she entered the palace. But after entering the palace, Long Live Lord was so kind to Concubine Shu. How could Concubine Shu not be deeply rooted in love?" Ji Heping continued.

"Yes, yes, it's my concern that causes chaos and blinds my eyesight." Bu Bin was a fan of the person involved, and now she has come to her senses after listening to Ji Heping's analysis.

"Your Majesty, the Concubine and the Dinggui have arrived." The palace maid on the side saw the concubine picking up the throne in the distance and informed her quickly.

Concubine Bu stood up immediately and said: "I know. I go down to greet Sister Chengcon."

After saying that, Ji Heping quickly supported Bu Bin and walked down.

……

Cheng concubine's sedan carriage stopped at the foot of Duixiu Mountain.

Dinggui hurriedly helped Cheng Concubine, who was still a little weak.Cheng Concubine looked at the young masters and concubines who seemed to be saluting respectfully, but they looked at them openly and secretly, and immediately straightened up.

Bu Bin came down from the mountain and greeted Cheng Bin and said, "Sister Cheng Bin, you are finally here. Come on, let's go upstairs and talk. I'm afraid they won't be happy with us here."

Cheng Concubine nodded, and together with Cheng Concubine, they were supported by the palace maids and went up to Duixiu Mountain.

After Cheng Bin sat on the stone bench of Yujing Pavilion, he took a breath and thanked Bu Bin: "Thank you. Otherwise, I don't know how many people would be waiting to see my jokes."

"As for me, it doesn't matter whether you come today or not." Bu Bin said looking at Cheng Bin who looked unhappy.

Cheng Bin shook her head and said: "On a day like today, I have to come no matter what. Firstly, it's your face. Secondly, I also want to show those who are watching the joke that I am still here. .”

"That's all, it's up to you." Concubine Bu didn't dare to ignore it when she saw that she couldn't persuade Cheng Concubine.Bu Bin turned around and saw Dinggui who had been standing all the time, and quickly ordered: "Dinggui, please sit down too."

The noble man then bowed and sat down carefully.

Ji Heping quickly instructs the maids and eunuchs below to serve tea and snacks.

After Cheng Bin drank a cup of tea, she felt a little more energetic.Putting down the teacup, he asked Bu Bin: "Isn't Concubine Shu coming today?"

During the days when she was recuperating in the palace, Cheng Concubine thought a lot.Thinking of having a good relationship with Concubine Shu no matter what, even if there is no benefit from it.But at least you can get some information that others can't get.Isn't that what the concubine in front of me is like?Relying on Concubine Shu, she jumped from a nobleman who had been a nobleman for decades to a concubine in charge of the harem.

Bu Bin explained: "How could Concubine Shu not come with such a lively event? She sent someone to invite her early in the morning, maybe she was just tripped up by something."

"That's good. Then I'll take this opportunity to thank Concubine Shu. I originally wanted to come to express my gratitude in person. But Qianqing Palace is inconvenient after all." Concubine Cheng explained with a wry smile.Concubine Cheng felt uncomfortable when she thought of her previous experience in front of Qianqing Palace.That day was a lifelong nightmare for a concubine.

"Hey, it's just a trivial matter. How can I be worthy of Sister Chengbin coming to say thank you?" Bu Bin comforted Cheng Bin.

When it was said that Cao Cao had arrived, Ji Heping saw the Cai Zhan approaching in the distance and quickly stepped forward to report back: "I'd like to report that Concubine Bu, Concubine Cheng, and Concubine Ding, Concubine Shu have arrived."

Upon hearing Ji Heping's reply, Bu Bin quickly stood up.

Cheng Bin also wanted to get up, but her body swayed twice unsatisfactorily.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Bu hurriedly said: "Since Sister Cheng Concubine, you are not feeling well, just stay here and rest. I and Lord Ding will just go to greet Concubine Shu."

"How about that? As a concubine, I should go and greet you." Concubine Cheng stood up unsteadily and declined.

Bu Bin walked to Cheng Bin, pressed Cheng Bin on the stone bench, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it's just a small matter. Concubine Shu will understand that you are not feeling well."

Bu Bin said and led Dinggui down to Duixiu Mountain.

Bu Bin and Ding Guiren had just descended from Duixiu Mountain when they saw Wanxian getting off the chariot sedan.

The young masters and concubines of each palace were kneeling in twos and threes.

Wanxian said to Bu Bin with a smile: "It's so lively here. I was supposed to come earlier, but something happened to delay me."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you come. It's a good thing." After Bu Bin said a blessing to Wanxian, she stepped forward to hold Wanxian.

Wanxian nodded and was about to speak when Bu Bin pulled Wanxian's hand and motioned to the kneeling young master, concubine and others.

Wanxian said quickly: "Everyone, get up. Today is a good day, everyone is having a great time."

"Concubine, thank you for your kindness." The young master and concubines quickly bowed and thanked her.

"Come on, let's go up and talk. Cheng Bin originally wanted to come down to pick you up, but she was unwell, so I stopped her." Bu Bin said as she pulled Wanxian along.

Wanxian nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, it should be like this."

"I also told her the same thing, telling her not to worry about it." Bu Bin said as she walked.

The group quickly climbed onto Duixiu Mountain.

When Concubine Cheng saw Wanxian's face, she quickly stood up and wanted to salute.

Wanxian hurriedly stepped forward to stop Cheng Bin and said, "Concubine Cheng, you don't need to salute if you feel unwell."

"Thank you, Concubine Shu, for your understanding." Concubine Cheng thanked her.

"It's okay, but you have to take good care of yourself." Wanxian said and kindly helped Cheng Bin sit down.Wanxian still remembers the first time she went to the imperial concubine's palace to meet her, and how kind the concubine was.

"Okay, okay, let's all sit down and chat." Bu Bin quickly said to Wanxian and Dinggui.

So the four of them sat down according to their status.

"The purpose of preparing this flower-viewing banquet today is to let the sisters in each palace relax and relieve their boredom. The major events in the previous dynasty happened one after another, and everyone in the harem was panicked. But now the big things have been settled. , we people can also put our hearts in our stomachs." Bu Bin, as the host of the flower viewing banquet, said.
