concubine queen

Chapter 25 Princess Jianing Yu Zimu

In the evening, the queen sent someone to report that Princess Jianing had already returned to the palace. The emperor was going to hold a family banquet to welcome the princess back to the palace. The concubines of all palaces were invited to wait in the Jingting Hall before Xu time.

Feng Xi rewarded the person who came to give orders, then changed into simple clothes and headgear, and left with Ning Tong, holding a painting for Princess Jianing in her hand.

The Jingting Hall is a palace specially built by the former emperor for the convenience of family banquets in the palace.The environment here is beautiful, and there is a large area of ​​flowers and plants around the hall, especially the most precious Bixianluo, which was bought from Dongsheng National Flower with a lot of money, and it blooms all year round. The flowers that bloom are different in color and look like peonies. But it is more delicate and beautiful than peony.The family banquet to welcome the princess is held here, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to Princess Jianing.

The queen was suffering from the cold, so Concubine Cheng helped take care of all this.Concubine Cheng also put in a lot of thought. The utensils for drinking are all glazed cups, and the dishes are presumably arranged according to the princess's preferences.

Everyone hadn't come yet, only the queen became a concubine and several concubines were seated.Feng Xi slightly bowed his knees to the Queen and Concubine Cheng, and then sat down.

"Sister Ronghua really took a painting." Concubine Cheng said to the little concubine beside her, but the voice could be heard by the queen and her.

She kept her composure, Concubine Cheng was a troublemaker, she couldn't be as knowledgeable as her.

Sure enough, seeing that Feng Xi didn't talk to her, Concubine Cheng knew it was boring, so she changed the subject and continued chatting with the little concubine.

About half an hour later, all the concubines arrived, followed by the emperor and princess.

Princess Jianing is really as the folks say, she is as beautiful as a fairy, and her agility is not ordinary.She is only 12 years old, and the best brocade looks ordinary on her body.Yu Zimuhuan swept the group of people sitting, except for the empress, Concubine Cheng and Concubine Xiao, they were all new faces, and the elder brother was drafted again.These women are all good-looking, but they don't know how to turn the palace upside down, and it's boring to think about it.

Feng Xi understood the disdain in Yu Zimu's eyes, and felt a little more fond of this princess in her heart.

"The minister (concubine) concubine has seen the emperor." All the concubines saluted, Yu Mingqian said something and stood up, and everyone returned to their seats.

Yu Mingqian pulled Yu Zimu to sit on the seat on his left, and the queen on the right.

"Zimu has met the emperor's wife." Although Yu Zimu doesn't like women fighting in the harem, he respects the queen very much. In Yu Zimu's eyes, the queen is the most virtuous and kindest woman, because the queen mother gave birth to her. At that time, she was too weak to take care of her, so the seventh concubine at that time, who is now the queen, offered to take care of Yu Zimu.After bringing Yu Zimu back to the palace, she treated her as her own, because she was unable to have children, so she gave all her mother's love to Yu Zimu.Yu Zimu is extremely grateful to her, without her, Yu Zimu would not be able to grow up.

The queen also looked at Yu Zimu lovingly, and nodded.When she saw Yu Zimu back then, she felt kind and dared to ask the first emperor. Now she feels that all of this is destined. The emperor has not neglected her all these years. Presumably, most of the reason is because she raised Jia Princess Ning.But she didn't blame the emperor, on the contrary, she was very grateful that he didn't abandon her.

"Mu'er, did you enjoy this trip?" Yu Mingqian looked at Yu Zimu tenderly, this sister was his favorite sister.Not only because of being born to the same mother, but also because of Yu Zimu's longing for freedom, Mu'er has never been polluted by this palace, and has a pure nature.

"Brother Huang, Mu'er is very happy this time, really happy, I met a lot of novelty things on the road, thanks to Brother Huang for allowing me!" Yu Zimu thanked with fists in both hands, just like a quack girl.

Yu Mingqian gave a doting smile, "Okay, eat quickly, and go to accompany mother after the banquet."

"Well, Mu'er knows."

During the banquet, Princess Jianing didn't talk too much while eating, and even told anecdotes about her outside, which made all the concubines laugh.

After eating, it's time to leave. This is a good time to give the princess a gift. Concubine Cheng opened her mouth first.

"Princess Jianing, I have prepared a gift for you, Chunxian, bring it here."

Chunxian responded, and brought a snow-white puppy over. It was all white, so cute.

After all, Yu Zimu was a child, and when he saw the cute puppy, he rushed towards him.

"What a cute puppy, thank you, Concubine Cheng." Yu Zimu hugged the puppy in his arms, and the puppy was peaceful, staying obediently and refusing to recognize his birth, Yu Zimu liked it even more.

Yu Mingqian glanced at Concubine Cheng appreciatively.Concubine Cheng noticed the emperor's gaze and couldn't help but feel happy.

Next is Concubine Xiao. What Concubine Xiao prepared is a colorful feather coat, the skirt is made of swan feathers attached, the whole skirt looks like the clothes worn by fairies.Yu Zimu also liked this dress very much, so he handed the puppy to the maid next to him to pick up the colorful feather coat and couldn't put it down.

Seeing this, Concubine Cheng's hatred for Concubine Xiao increased a bit. This woman had fought with her when she was in the palace. more than hers.

Naturally, Concubine Xiao could see Concubine Cheng's gaze, but pretended not to see it.

After all the princess put down the colorful feather coat, Feng Xicai stood up, took the painting in his hand, and handed it to the princess.

Yu Zimu wondered why someone would give her a painting. The women in the palace competed for favor, and the things they gave her were more expensive than the other. Not to mention the concubine Cheng gave her a puppy, but this puppy was hard-earned Yes, there are less than ten dogs of this kind in Xilong country, which shows how powerful the concubine Cheng's family is.

Yu Zimu opened the painting strangely, at first he didn't take it seriously, but after seeing the whole painting, he felt admiration for Feng Xi.This woman is different from other concubines, she can actually see the life she yearns for in her heart, yes, it is the ordinary life of the people, she asks to go out to play, not for the novelty, but for the desire for that kind of life , not a canary locked in a golden cage.

"Brother Emperor, who is this?" Yu Zimu excitedly asked Yu Mingqian who this was.

Yu Mingqian pursed his lips and smiled, his younger sister used to disdain his concubines, why is she curious about Feng Xilai today.

"This is my Ronghua. Li Fengxi." Yu Mingqian looked serious when he mentioned the name.

All the concubines present were surprised by the emperor's expression.

Yu Zimu also noticed that the emperor's elder brother never fell in love with women, even the queen who had been married for 12 years, had never been so serious, but such a woman is worthy of the emperor's elder brother's love, she is different from other concubines , although there are scheming, but not vulgar.

"Sister-in-law Fengxi, Mu'er likes your paintings very much. In another day, Mu'er will visit your palace. I hope sister-in-law Fengxi doesn't find me annoying." Yu Zimu said in a coquettish tone, but her sister-in-law just At the exit, everyone present was shocked. This Princess Jianing is very arrogant. Except for the queen, she never calls other concubines sisters-in-law. It's okay to add the word "sister-in-law" after the name of someone named Fengxi just now.But apart from Yu Zimu's liking for the queen, no other concubines could convince her.

The concubines looked at Fengxi, feeling more and more jealous. This Li Fengxi really stole the limelight. Since entering the palace draft, he was first conferred the highest position of Fangyi in this year, and secondly, he was the first to serve as bed attendant. The servant was promoted to Ronghua the next day.This is not enough, it is also deeply loved by the Queen Mother and Princess Jianing. This kind of experience is beyond the reach of other concubines.

This was the first time Fengxi heard Yu Mingqian call her real name after entering the palace, and she almost forgot other things for a while, forgetting all the concubines' jealousy towards her.It was so easy to recover.

"Why do I find the princess annoying? The princess can come whenever she wants." Feng Xi greeted her with a smile, this time, she won the bet.

Yu Zimu nodded happily, it seems that this sister-in-law is also very infatuated with the emperor's brother, maybe she will be the emperor's brother's true love.

Yu Mingqian stared at Fengxi, he saw her flash of energy just now, it turned out that she would lose her composure just by calling her name.No matter how smart this little woman is, she still cannot escape from his grasp.The young emperor felt sweet in his heart.

The remaining concubines also gave gifts to the princess one after another, but because their family backgrounds were not outstanding, the gifts were very ordinary, and Yu Zimu accepted them kindly.

That's the end of a family dinner.

Although she returned to the palace, Fengxi was still reminiscing about Li Fengxi's voice, and her heart was full of warmth.

"Master, the emperor is here!" Ning Tong came in happily and shouted.

Feng Xi was taken aback, "What? The emperor is here?"

"Yes, master."

When Yu Mingqian came in, he saw the pair of master and servant standing, and was very excited when he mentioned him.

"What's the matter, I'm here, Feng Xi doesn't welcome me?"

Feng Xi rushed to pay his respects, but was helped up by Yu Mingqian.

"From now on, in your palace, there is no need to greet me." Yu Mingqian said in a low voice.

Feng Xi raised her head, just in time to meet his gaze.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't you be at the Empress Dowager's place?" Feng Xi blurted out accidentally, and then regretted it, isn't this chasing the Emperor?

Yu Mingqian doesn't care, he understands Fengxi's mood at the moment, the simpler Fengxi is, the more he likes it, he really doesn't like the purposeful eyes of those concubines every time they visit her.

"The queen mother is sympathetic to me and asked me to leave early." In fact, he understands the empress mother's thoughts. The queen mother wants him to spoil Fengxi. Naturally, he will not reject the queen mother's kindness, but he can't stay with Fengxi all the time. Otherwise it will hurt her.

He deliberately changed his name to me, just to tell Feng Xi that he was not on guard against her anymore.

Feng Xi noticed that the emperor had changed his name, looked at the emperor again excitedly, found that Yu Mingqian was also looking at him, became shy again, and lowered his head.

"Rest, I'm very tired tonight, I just want to hug you and fall asleep." After Yu Mingqian finished speaking, he took off his coat and carried Feng Xiheng to bed.

Because Feng Xi was about to rest, she only wore pajamas, but Yu Mingqian didn't expect it to be convenient at this moment.

Yu Mingqian was indeed tired, after approving paperwork for a whole day, he even greeted Jianing at night, hugged Fengxi and went to bed.
