The Rebirth of the First Daughter: The Crown Prince

Chapter 253 Before the Spring Banquet (1)

The stone pillars built of white marble and the paths paved with marble stretch to the depths, and the corridors are exquisite. On each pillar supporting the halls and corridors, there are carved flower and bird patterns, fine and complicated lines, but not messy.In the hall and corridor, there are palace ladies passing by from time to time, their footsteps are hurried, but they are not panicked.

There are no longer a few court ladies and eunuchs, but the palace is extremely quiet.

Behind this prosperity and luxury, what is presented to people is everything that is cold and desolate. Who would know that behind all this tranquility, there is hidden intrigue?
Although the sedan chair of Feng's mansion had not yet entered the palace, the day before, Mrs. Fu Guogong was taken into the palace by Concubine Feng.

Concubine Feng is the aunt of Duke Fu. She and Duke Fu's father, the old man, are of the same mother. When they were young, they married into the palace. Although they had no children, they enjoyed all the honor and favor.Living in the Qingjing Palace in old age, because the birth mother of the Holy One passed away early, so she treats Concubine Feng as her own mother and respects her sincerely.

"Twife, you don't need to be busy with the affairs of the front hall. You really don't have to get up so early. At present, I guess those ministers and their families have not yet entered the palace." Mrs. He, the wife of Duke Fu, supported Dowager Feng in the courtyard. Move slowly.

Concubine Feng tilted her head and smiled at He Shi: "People, when you get old, you sleep less. Since Aijia can't sleep, why lie on the bed?"

"Look at what the concubine said, how can the concubine get old? She is still in good spirits and her body is very strong. Looking at it from the concubine's body, she is more energetic than those young people."

Hearing this, the concubine smiled and said, "You, don't coax Ai's family. I know what is going on with Ai's family." Then, the concubine changed the subject: "Today's palace banquet, will that kid come?"

"Xi'er will come naturally. When I came yesterday, I already told my husband that if he dares not to come, he will be tied up. I will tie him up to amuse you, old man."

When Feng Mingxi was young, he used to be the prince's accompanying student for a period of time, and he often went to and from the palace. At that time, he had a tough temper, and whenever his master was in class, he always liked to escape, so he would sneak into the Qingjing Hall and steal some snacks and fruits to eat. The concubine dotes on him, and whenever he comes, she puts a lot of snacks and fruits on the table for him to steal.

But later, when Feng Ming became restless, he seldom entered the palace to visit the Qingjing Hall to see Concubine Feng.Concubine Feng somewhat understood the intertwined reasons, but she still thought about it in her heart.

Hearing what He said, even the wrinkles around her eyes were stained with a smile.

"You, don't look at this time, the Qingjing Hall is so clean, but at that time, as long as he came, the hall would be full of chickens and dogs. It really has a pure name." Then rejoice.

He Shi listened and smiled apologetically.

"Let me do the math, how many years has it been? Fourteen or five years, at that time, he was only this tall." As she spoke, Concubine Feng gestured, "Now, I'm afraid..." She couldn't tell, it's been a long time I have never seen Feng Mingxi in my memory still looks like a young boy.

"Now, Xi'er is somewhat higher than his father."

"Back then, that child was handsome, but now I am afraid that he is even more handsome. He must have offended a lot of daughters." The two of them talked without much scruples.

Hearing this, He couldn't help but feel melancholy.If there is any unfinished business on the mind of Mrs. He, it is Feng Mingxi's marriage.Over the years, whenever she proposed a marriage in front of him, he would always think of ways to refuse.How handsome is he?In the end it wasn't—

Upon hearing He's sigh, Concubine Feng looked at her in surprise, then suppressed her smile and asked, "What? Why are you sighing?"

Mrs. He looked up, saw the caring look of Concubine Feng, supported her, and walked to an octagonal pavilion. Immediately, a maid put the futon on the stone bench, and Mrs. He helped the concubine to sit down.

She had a plan in mind, these years, every time she brought up her marriage, Xi'er always avoided it, if today, let the concubine mention this matter and let the concubine choose a wife for Xi'er, wouldn't it be just right?
He was thinking about everything in his heart, but there was a look of worry on his face.

"Concubine, you are from my own family, so I will not hide some things from you. Xi'er once had a childhood sweetheart. When they were young, they had a very close relationship, and that woman was extremely outstanding. At that time, my concubine Thinking about it, when the two of them were older, they went to propose marriage to Xi'er, fulfilling the concerns of the young couple. But who knows—"

He's face was a little more painful, "The woman later disliked the poor and loved the rich, so she married someone else. From then on, Xi'er's temperament changed drastically. Xi'er mentioned it in front of him, but he avoided it, so until now, he has never been married."

Although Mrs. He never said who the woman was, how could Concubine Feng not be able to guess?Mrs. He said that the woman hates the poor and loves the rich.The Feng family is now a well-known Xijing family, speaking of it, how many can compare?Apart from the four major families, the only thing that makes the Feng family incomparable is the royal family.

This is the case, what can the concubine say?
She patted Mrs. He's hand and sighed: "Back then, the Ai family thought that the child must have a good fate, but now it seems that he is a poor one. But it doesn't matter, there are so many good women in the world, why bother to be together Hanging on a root flower? Don’t be sad, today, the Ai family will have a good time, if they find a good woman, they will ask the Holy Majesty to marry him on the spot, so as not to let that slippery boy go for a walk again.”

This is exactly the result He wanted. Now, kowtow to thank you.

But at this time, Feng Mingxi was riding in a sedan chair, walking on the way to the palace, not aware of what happened in the Qingjing Palace...

East Palace, Shuyun Palace.

Thrush combing hair, not for today's husband.

Painted and painted, just for the former lover.

She nodded at Zhu Dan, not for the man beside her.

Waving sleeves to try on clothes is only for the old boys.

One side of the gold-encrusted bronze mirror reflects the woman's all-powerful appearance. With one stroke, she outlines a smiling face like a flower, covering up her usual sorrows.

"Jing'er, is Ben Gong beautiful?"

"Beautiful, the Crown Princess is beautiful. In Xijing City, there is probably no one who can compare with the Crown Princess."

"If I go to see him like this, will he like it?" Luo Chenyan looked at the person in the mirror. The person in the mirror was born with a lovely appearance, and with every frown and smile, it was like a beautiful flower The month makes people's hearts and souls turbulent.

"The prince will definitely be happy." Jing'er, an ignorant court lady, thought that the princess sitting in front of her dressed up today just to please the prince, but she didn't know that she was doing this just for another man.

However, Luo Chenyan would not explain to the maids around her.

"Go and get the pair of phoenix feet that the queen rewarded me."

As soon as the words fell, a woman came with phoenix shoes, some of which were embroidered with complicated patterns embroidered with gold silk, which showed that they were slightly raised, like a golden phoenix spreading its wings, it was really exquisite.

The palace maid put on the phoenix-footed shoes for Luo Chenyan, and she slowly stood up. The red dress was so eye-catching, as if it matched someone's red dress.

Ah Xi, today, my love for you has never changed, do you understand?
