Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 21 Entering the Palace for the First Time

In the imperial garden, the lush trees reflect the red wall bricks and golden glazed tiles, and the gurgling water under the bridge reflects the rocky rockery.In the flower pool made of white marble, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, clusters of peonies are as red as the sun, and spring orchids are elegant and fragrant.

The scenery is luxurious and extravagant but also exquisite.

Feng Qingyao held her mother's arm, and the fragrance of flowers smelt her nostrils along the way, her mood unknowingly lightened up.

"Qingyao, when you meet the empress, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, you know?" Xiang reminded, although it was not the first time for her daughter to enter the palace, but this time she always had a bad feeling, and her heart was heavy. .

A reminder made Feng Qingyao's good mood disappear, "Daughter understands."

It was her first time entering the palace.But she is not interested in the high walls of the deep palace, and she doesn't want to climb a high branch to become a phoenix. If it weren't for the emperor's inexplicable imperial decree, she would not even bother to attend this boring banquet.

After the Imperial Garden is Ningyang Palace, women in twos and threes are gathering in the garden to enjoy the flowers.

According to the requirements of etiquette, the female family members entering the palace must first go to Ningyang Palace to greet the Queen, and then led by the Queen to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

"Oh!" Suddenly heard a scream, and saw a woman in pink standing next to the rose, holding the other hand with a green hand, with a painful expression, it seemed that she had been pricked by a thorn on the rose.

"Why are you so careless?" The woman next to her scolded, took her hand and looked at it, "The wound is not deep, but it's just that you can't get wet in the past two days."

"Thank you, Sister Shangguan." The woman in pink withdrew her hand, her face full of gratitude.

Feng Qingyao couldn't help but take another look at the woman.

She is wearing a lavender embroidered dress, which is as long as the floor, and large rhododendron flowers are embroidered with silver thread on the wide dress.The dark purple cloud belt girdles the waist, outlining the woman's slender waist, like a peony blooming in the wind, noble and arrogant, but also has a kind of affinity that makes people want to get closer.Her eyebrows are like black silkworms, her eyes lie like silkworms, and there is a slight smile on her red lips, which is extraordinarily bright and charming.

Feeling the attention, the woman looked at her, looked at each other, and sent a kind smile.

"The empress is here." At this moment, the eunuch's sharp and lengthy voice came, and then, the elegant and luxurious empress walked over surrounded by the crowd.

"See empress empress, empress is a thousand years old." Everyone knelt down in unison.

"Pingshen." The majesty of the mother of a country was revealed in the faint tone, and the eyes swept over everyone, and fell on Feng Qingyao alone, "If I read correctly, you are Feng Qingyao, the daughter of Feng's parents, right?" ?”

"It's the minister's daughter." Feng Qingyao lowered her head, trying to reduce her sense of existence.

"Raise your head up and let Bengong take a look." The voice was neither slow nor slow, with a force that could not be refused.

What's bothering you!
Feng Qingyao slandered, couldn't it be seen that she wanted to play low-key, but she just mentioned herself in front of so many people?From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the crowd, and he didn't know how the queen caught her eye among so many people.

Guessing is guessing, she still raised her head respectfully.

The moment she saw her appearance clearly, the empress's cold eyes flashed a bit narrow, "Shuangshu of the Feng family, they really live up to their reputation." A meaningful smile floated on the corner of her lips, walked around her, and walked forward with her noble head held high. .

"Everyone listen to the order, get up and go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to salute." The high-pitched voice echoed in the imperial garden.

Everyone got up one after another and followed the queen to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

No one noticed that there was a pair of sinister eyes hidden among the flowers in the corner.
