concubine queen

Chapter 21
"Chunxian, I'm going to rest." Concubine Cheng appeared sleepy, and Chunxian immediately helped Concubine Cheng fall asleep.

The imperial palace, which was about to enter autumn, began to have some fallen leaves. Feng Xi got up early in the morning, and according to the etiquette, he was going to pay his respects to the empress today.Feng Xi stepped on the fallen leaves, listening to the soft voice, she couldn't feel a little emotional, yesterday she was still the fourth lady of the prime minister's mansion, today she has become an ordinary concubine in the deep palace.

"Master, are you alright?" Ning Tong looked at Feng Xi, seeing that she was in a daze, thinking that she was sad because of the emperor being called away yesterday, so she couldn't help asking with concern.

Feng Xi came back to her senses, and was about to answer, but saw Zhang Huiyi coming from the left, so she looked at Zhang Huiyi.In this draft, Feng Xi won the highest position, followed by Zhang Huiyi, who was awarded the seventh-rank beauty.Looking at this Huiyi at the moment, she is wearing a turquoise skirt with simple patterns, a simple double bun, and a hibiscus hairpin on her head.

"I've met Fangyi." Zhang Huiyi saluted politely.

"Ms. Zhang, please get up." Feng Xi made a gesture of support, and Zhang Huiyi got up knowingly.

"Ms. Zhang is dressed very freshly today." Feng Xi said intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhang Huiyi said hastily.

"Huiyi is not as good-looking as Fangyi, it's just that ugly people do more mischief." Feng Xi appreciates Zhang Huiyi's cautious appearance.

Feng Xi didn't respond, and took Zhang Huiyi's hand, "Since we met, let's go together to greet the empress."

Zhang Huiyi nodded.

The queen always likes to be quiet, so although Chengyang Palace is very prosperous, it is very quiet.When Feng Xi and Zhang Huiyi arrived, the empress was sitting at the head, and beside her was Ziyu, her personal maid, who was putting a facekerchief on the empress's head.Yesterday I heard that the Empress had a cold, but now it seems that it is not serious.The two of them were the first to come, so they sat down according to their seats.

After a while, Jian Yingqiu and Na Su Qinrou came, one of them was Chang Zai from the seventh rank, and the other was a beloved man from the eighth rank.This is the most strange thing about Feng Xi. It is said that Jian Yingqiu is the most beautiful woman in Kyoto. It doesn't make sense that she is just a regular from the seventh rank, but she is not as high as Zhang Huiyi.But Fengxi can only guess half of these things, she only wants to get it because of Jian Yingqiu's family background, Jian Yingqiu's father is only a fourth-rank general of the left army, and his military achievements are not very great.She didn't know that the empress wanted to make this a seventh-rank beauty that day, but the queen mother didn't like this, so she was demoted one level.

Jian Yingqiu and Su Qinrou greeted the queen first, then saluted Feng Xi and Zhang Huiyi, and then sat down.

Then Zhou Liwei and Chen Danpei came together, because Zhou Liwei was only conferred as a talent from the eighth rank, so she looked at Fengxi and Zhang Huiyi's displeasure, but there was nothing she could do.She is not convinced, Li Fengxi, although her family background is comparable to hers, but she is a concubine daughter, and Zhang Huiyi is the most dissatisfied to her, the daughter of a fourth-rank official is even more important than her, the daughter of a first-rank captain. Even taller, how could she swallow this breath.

There were also two other people from ordinary backgrounds who came a few moments after Zhou Liwei and the others, and they were all named as Ninth-Rank Picking Girls.

As for Xiao Zhaoyi, no, Concubine Xiao didn't come because of what happened last night.The strange thing is that this concubine Cheng has not come yet.

There were only a few people who knew that Concubine Xiao had an accident last night, but they didn't say anything about it. After all, it was not a good thing, and it was best to get rid of it.The queen knew that it was unlikely that the newly entered palace would be attacked by a beautiful woman, but that the old man in the palace was more likely to commit crimes. Now it seemed that everything was pointing towards the concubine Cheng.

The queen gave tea, and after the concubines drank it, they talked for a long time before the concubine Cheng came.

"My concubine greets the empress, please forgive me for being late." Concubine Cheng was wearing a light yellow fairy dress, her face was very rosy, and she looked bright and radiant.

"It's okay, sister, please sit down."

Concubine Cheng unceremoniously sat in the seat closest to the queen.All the concubines saluted her.

"Empress, my concubine heard that you have contracted a cold, so I don't know what you are doing now..." Concubine Cheng looked at the pale-faced queen and said with concern.

The queen knew that she was just acting on occasion, she was used to it, so she smiled.

"Sister Lao is concerned, the wind and cold in this palace is not a day or two, so let's drag it on like this."

"Empress, you are working too hard." Concubine Cheng looked at the queen worriedly.

The queen's expression remained unchanged, although she knew what Concubine Cheng was implying that she had been in charge of the harem for too long, but she ignored it, this concubine Cheng gave birth to the eldest prince, so let her make trouble, as long as nothing serious happened.

Seeing that the queen did not respond, Concubine Cheng looked at the concubines.He saw Feng Xi at a glance and observed carefully.This woman is really not ordinary, isn't she a concubine, why is her temperament even more noble than that concubine's.

"This is sister Fangyi, she looks really pretty." Concubine Cheng said slowly.

As soon as Concubine Cheng mentioned Fengxi, Zhou Liwei looked directly at Fengxi with resentful eyes, Concubine Cheng naturally did not miss this point, it seems that she doesn't need to do it herself to deal with Li Fengxi.

"My concubine, I would like to thank the concubine Cheng for her compliments. I heard that the concubine Cheng is very kind. I saw her today, and it's true." Feng Xi said calmly without changing his face. Since the concubine Cheng wants to make things difficult for her, she will Go ahead.

Concubine Cheng chuckled, "Sister Fangyi has such a sweet mouth, no wonder the Empress Dowager likes it."

As soon as these words came out, the hatred in Zhou Liwei's eyes grew a little bit more, but Chen Danpei beside her became anxious. She took refuge in Zhou Liwei for the possibility of being the next one, but looking at Zhou Liwei's appearance now, it is not good How reliable is it? On the contrary, Li Fengxi, who was not optimistic before, was conferred a high position as soon as he entered the palace. It seems that he has to be replaced.

"The Empress Dowager loves Feng Xi so much, it's Feng Xi's blessing." Feng Xi was not in a hurry, and just pretended to be stupid, letting Concubine Cheng take pleasure in herself.

"My sisters, it's getting late. I'm a little tired, so let's leave." Concubine Cheng wanted to continue to embarrass Feng Xi, but the queen opened her mouth, and the queen was really tired.

"The concubine will leave." All the concubines bowed down and bowed, and then they all withdrew.

Feng Xi and Zhang Huiyi are still together, for some reason, Feng Xi has always had a very friendly feeling towards Zhang Huiyi, so she has become a little closer to her unconsciously.

"Fangyi, the sun is still early, why don't we go for a walk in the imperial garden?" Zhang Huiyi looked at Fengxi with a slight smile.

Feng Xi looked at the sky, it was blue and cloudless, it was a good time to go for a stroll.

"Alright. By the way, Zhang Meiren, I remember that you are older than me. In private, how about I call you sister?" Feng Xi held Zhang Huiyi's hand.

Seeing Fengxi being so serious, Zhang Huiyi held her hand very warmly.

"I am very happy to have a sister like Fangyi."

Feng Xi burst into a smile, one more ally is better than one more enemy, not to mention this Zhang Huiyi is a rare smart person.

"What a coincidence, Sister Fangyi, I met you here."

Chen Danpei walked over from the front, Feng Xi and Zhang Huiyi turned to look at her.
