Chapter 144: Concubine Qing's Birthday Banquet
The two of them were lying on the bed with a quilt as before, and the two looked at each other face to face, and Fengyu instantly lost her sleepiness.
Thinking of the previous plan with Concubine Qing, Feng Yu told Xiao Yan the original plan of her plan.
"Concubine Hui and Fenglin have been too comfortable these days, so they will do something to deal with me from time to time, I can't just suffer like this."
Xiao Yan agreed, but he didn't agree with what Feng Yu just said.
"Although Concubine Hui is no longer favored by the emperor, but in the harem, she still has a lot of forces attached to her, and now she can still sit in the position of the concubine, which proves that she still has spare power, I don't want you to take risks."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan raised his hand and hooked up a wisp of green silk on Fengyu's sideburns, and said a little casually: "Why don't you put your plans aside first, and let me clean them up for you." ”
If it were another woman, maybe she would be happy with Xiao Yan's protection at this time, but Feng Yu frowned.
"I'm telling you this, just because I don't want to hide it from you, and I don't want you to do anything for me."
"Although I am an indoor delicate, I don't need to be cared for by others, and I also want to be a person who can go hand in hand with you."
Feng Yu's words moved Xiao Yan a little, and at the same time knew that he had said the wrong thing, but he still spoke again without worry.
"Although Fenglin doesn't have any brains, Concubine Hui has been fighting in the harem for many years, and the means are endless, I'm worried that you will be framed by her again."
Hearing this, Feng Yu's mouth pursed slightly, and she said a little unhappily, "I am the daughter of my father and the princess of the Northern Capital, and I have not lived in vain after living for so many years, don't underestimate me." ”
Looking at Feng Yu's delicate and lovely face, listening to her voice that seemed to be coquettish and angry, Feng Yu's heart softened.
That's it, his princess is spoiled by herself, it's really not good, he can disguise himself and blend in, it's not impossible.
"When the time comes, I'll go to the banquet and protect you, okay?"
Feng Yu's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she smiled: "Okay, then I have to rely on General Xiao to protect my life." ”
Xiao Yan raised her hand and scratched her nose funny, "It's not too early, go to bed early, tomorrow the princess will have the spirit to perfect your plan again." ”
Feng Yu understood Xiao Yan's softened tone, and made up her mind that she must let him know how powerful she is.
The two chatted for a few more words, the ambiguous atmosphere around them dissipated, and Fengyu finally fell asleep.
She gently closed her eyes, feeling Xiao Yan's body temperature around her, and suddenly thought of the acacia flower she had painted before.
Gently opening her eyes and looking at Xiao Yan, who was breathing evenly and seemed to be asleep, she carefully got up and took out the painting from under her pillow.
Folding the painting lightly, Fengyu quietly stuffed the painting into Xiao Yan's pocket, and then closed his eyes again after making sure that he was not awake.
Waiting for Feng Yu's breathing to gradually stabilize, Xiao Yan, who was already asleep, opened his eyes and looked at the person next to the pillow with a smile, Xiao Yan adjusted his arm to make Feng Yu lie more comfortable, and then fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yan woke up and saw Feng Yu leaning on her chest, couldn't help but stroke her hair, and finally the corners of her mouth went up, and carefully moved Feng Yu to the side.
Although he didn't want to leave Fengyu so soon, in order not to be discovered, for the sake of Fengyu's reputation, he could only turn around and leave the palace while there were still few people in the palace.
Back at the General's Mansion, Xiao Yan took out the folded paper from his waist bag, unfolded it little by little, and the elegant acacia flower slowly appeared in front of his eyes.
Acacia and joy, sharing and hurting, and rejoicing.
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched into a deep smile, as if he thought of the scene when Feng Yu was painting acacia flowers, it must have been very beautiful, but it was a pity that he couldn't witness it with his own eyes.
Looking at the painting in his hand, Xiao Yan felt that his long-suppressed mood finally relaxed, and after knowing exactly what Feng Yu meant to him, his heart also settled down.
Time flies in a blink of an eye, there are still three days before Concubine Qing's birthday, this day Fengyu is in Concubine Qing's palace, and when the two are chatting, the emperor suddenly came.
"Erchen has seen his father."
"The concubine has seen her father."
Feng Yu and Concubine Qing saluted the emperor, and after getting up, Feng Yu walked up to the emperor and said with a smile: "Father, the son and the minister just mentioned you to Concubine Qing, I didn't expect my father to come." ”
"Oh, what do you mean?" The emperor sat on the stool and looked at Concubine Qing, with a smile on his face and eyes.
Feng Yu took Concubine Qing's hand and said, "Concubine Qing said that my father has been busy dealing with state affairs recently, and she wants to make some tonic soup for her father in person, and she is asking my opinion." ”
Hearing this, the emperor looked at Concubine Qing, stretched out his hand to her, and doted: "Concubine Ai has a heart." ”
Concubine Qing took the emperor's hand, then sat next to him and said, "The princess said that the emperor would not care about the details, and let the concubines make whatever soup they want, but the concubines feel that it is better to be cautious." ”
"Kira is right, as long as you have this heart, I will be very happy." The emperor said with a look of relief.
Feng Yu saw that the emperor was in a good mood, so she took the opportunity to say: "Father, in a few days it will be Concubine Qing's birthday, and Erchen remembers that Concubine Qing has been in the palace for so long, and every birthday is just a small affair." ”
"Why don't you do it well this year and make the people in the palace happy?"
When the emperor heard this, he felt that Fengyu was right, so he nodded and said, "It should be done well, and I immediately issued an order to hold a birthday banquet for my concubine." ”
The emperor held a birthday banquet for Concubine Qing, and all the palace concubines at the banquet table attended the congratulations, and it is unknown how many of them really came to congratulate her.
"Your Majesty, the concubine recently got a pair of jade bracelets, and I think it is a good match for Concubine Qing, today is the birthday of Concubine Qing, and the concubine will take this day to give it to Niangniang, as a joy of birth."
"Your Majesty, this is a blood red jade bracelet brought by the concubine when she entered the palace, and it was given to Concubine Qing as a birthday gift today, and I hope that Niangniang will not dislike it."
The concubines took advantage of this time to give their gifts, although they said that they were for Concubine Qing, but those eyes were all fixed on the emperor.
Regarding the concubines' practices, Concubine Qing naturally knew their purpose very well in her heart, but since she had prepared a family banquet, she was naturally mentally prepared.
glanced at Concubine Hui who was sitting on the top seat, Concubine Qing's eyes changed, her birthday family banquet was specially prepared for her.
Feng Yu sat on the side, listening to the congratulations of the people around her, sighed boringly, and then looked around, as if she was looking for something.
After looking at it for a long time, Feng Yu didn't find Xiao Yan's figure, everyone around was busy with their own things, and no one looked here at all.
Could it be that Xiao Yan has something to delay? Or did he forget?
Although Fengyu didn't want Xiao Yan to do anything at first, and even she didn't have anything about Xiao Yan in the arrangement of the entire birthday banquet, she was happy when Xiao Yan said that he would come.
In a row of small eunuchs not far from Fengyu, Xiao Yan, who had changed his appearance, was secretly observing the movements around him, he was wearing a eunuch uniform, bowing over and waiting for the concubines and nobles who came and went.
Xiao Yan's appearance at the moment was exactly the same as that of the eunuchs around him, and at the family banquet where the crowd gathered, he couldn't see any difference at all if he didn't look closely.
When looking around, Xiao Yan saw Fengyu looking around at a glance, and immediately guessed that she was looking for herself.
The corners of his mouth twitched into a smile, Xiao Yan knew that his identity should not go to Fengyu's side at this moment, it would be easy for others to find out what was wrong.
But when he saw the unconcealable loss on Feng Yu's face, Xiao Yan immediately gave up his original idea, and then raised his legs and walked towards her.
Walking to Fengyu's side, Xiao Yan said in a low voice: "Princess, let the servants come and cook for you." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yan directly took the chopsticks of the cloth vegetables, and then lowered his head for the cloth vegetables of Fengyu.
Qin'er, who had been waiting for Fengyu beside her, frowned, looked at him and said, "Where is the little eunuch, it's enough for me to serve the princess, don't hurry up!" ”
Qin'er wanted to snatch the chopsticks back as she spoke, but where would she be Xiao Yan's opponent, this was a family banquet again, her movement was not too big, and she couldn't snatch the chopsticks back at all.
Feng Yu, who was in a lost mood, noticed the movements of these two people, raised her eyes and glanced at the two of them, and frowned unhappily: "There are palace maids here to serve, don't need you, go down quickly." ”
Thinking that the eunuch didn't move at all, he still stood in place and looked at Feng Yu, Feng Yu frowned together, and just wanted to ask someone to pull the eunuch away, but his hand was grabbed.
Feng Yu was taken aback, and just wanted to shout loudly, but felt that something was wrong. Looking at the face in front of her, who had never seen it before, but with a somewhat familiar feeling, Feng Yu's words were swallowed back by her.
"Forget it, let him give me the cloth, Qin'er, you go and take a rest."
Because Fengyu's hands were on her laps, and the sleeves of the two people were very wide, Qin'er didn't see the hands of the two people touching together.
Qin'er obediently stepped back and gave up Bucai's position to Xiao Yan, but her eyes were staring at him tightly, trying to observe what bad intentions he had.
Withdrawing her hand, Xiao Yan stood in front of Fengyu to help her with the dishes, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect the princess to be so smart that she could recognize me." ”
Feng Yu looked at the other people at the table with her eyes, and said quietly: "In the Northern Capital, you dare to be so rude to me. ”
"However, I really didn't expect you to pretend to be a little eunuch, and you pretend to be so good, if you didn't take the initiative to come, I really thought you would be ......"
As soon as she was halfway through the words, Feng Yu suddenly saw Xiao Yan show a wicked smile, as if she had thought of something, Feng Yu swallowed back the words with a slightly red face.
"Why don't you say it, the princess still thinks I am something?" Xiao Yan teased with a smile, his eyes fixed on the people around him, in case anyone would find out.
Feng Yu glanced up at him, and said with some coquettishness: "Of course I thought you were a hooligan." ”
