Chapter Twenty-Seven: Little Things
Tang Feng, as the concubine of the first emperor, naturally had to observe the festival for the first emperor, and the colorful clothes and jewelry in the past were no longer applicable. So she wore a bean-green skirt and a tunic of the same color tonight, with a light yellow palace silk tied at the skirt, and a pair of water-based transparent flounder, which looked refreshing and comfortable. There are also a lot fewer gold and jade hairpin rings that are usually inserted between the sideburns, and the whole person is low-key and introverted. It's just that the interference of those hairpin ring jewelry and the cover of rouge gouache are removed, and her plain face is even more dazzling, which makes people sigh that the beauty is really in the bones and not in the skin, and the romantic charm of this body looks good even if it is a sack.
Everyone turned their heads to each other, and it was unclear whether this person had changed his personality or changed his style briefly.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Before Tang Feng could warm up the chair, the little emperor came.
"Ministers to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." The people present knelt down one after another, except for Tang Feng.
The little emperor walked straight to the high position, touched Tang Feng's gaze on the side, took a deep breath, and raised a smile, "Erchen greets the concubine." ”
Tang Feng said goodbye, and avoided his salute, "Your Majesty." ”
The little emperor turned around and raised his hand, "All the ministers are exempt." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." One by one, everyone got up and sat down.
The little emperor intended to show his demeanor as a monarch in front of Tang Feng, and said a lot of words of encouragement to the courtiers before the banquet. Speaking of the last sentence, I didn't forget to glance to the side, the intention is really obvious.
"The New Year is coming, and the new year will inevitably have a new atmosphere. I hope that you will guard against arrogance and rashness, be diligent in political affairs, and do your best to open up a good situation for me in the new year, and fulfill your duty as courtiers. ”
When he had finished speaking, he raised his glass, and everyone got up, and the kings and ministers drank the glass together.
The little emperor glanced at Tang Feng's wine glass, she seemed to only wet her lips a little, and she really didn't give face. The little emperor looked at her with a smile and said, "Mother, I salute you, I hope you will be healthy in the future and can accompany your father and emperor for a while in Xiaoling." ”
What he said was a reflection of her being trapped in the place of Xiaoling and unable to get out. But Tang Feng didn't show displeasure, raised his wine glass, and said, "Your Majesty's auspicious words, there is no problem that this palace should live to be a hundred years old." ”
"I hope."
The two of them raised their glasses, and the void touched each other, and each drank it.
The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet has always been not as strict as the acting on the side, because due to the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, everyone will open a little, and the emperor will not interfere too much.
The song and dance came up, the sound of silk and bamboo also sounded, and the banquet entered the most lively stage.
Tang Feng glanced at the banquet hall and inadvertently bumped into Feng Xianji's eyes, he snorted at her, signaling her not to forget what he promised him. Tang Feng sighed, searched around, and finally saw the girl next to Mrs. Qinghehou.
"Who's that girl? Why is it so eye-catching? She raised her hand and pointed, and many people's eyes chased in the direction of her fingertips.
Here it is, here it is, here it is. Everyone seemed to have finally waited for a necessary link, with both nervous and a little optimistic mind. In fact, it's not to blame everyone for being soldiers, but Tang Feng's ability to make waves is really strong, and the banquet with her has not ended peacefully.
Everyone followed the direction she pointed out and looked, heh, isn't this the quasi-princess that the emperor took a fancy to the king of the southwest!
Xu Zhong, who was waiting beside the little emperor, cleared Tang Feng's confusion and said, "Niangniang, that is the daughter of the Marquis of Qinghe, and she is the fifth in the family. ”
Seeing that her family was being targeted, Mrs. Qinghehou led her daughter to stand up with a numb scalp, and said, "The concubine and the little girl will ask the imperial concubine to say goodbye, and the mother is a thousand years old." ”
At her side, a little girl dressed in honey-colored clothes bowed down with her mother. I have to say that this girl is first-class, she bows half a point well, and her dress can even remain in place, which is not a day's work.
According to the bridge arranged by Feng Xianji, Tang Feng pretended to be very interested in this girl, nodded at her, and said, "Come to the palace, such a beautiful little beauty should take a closer look at the palace." ”
The little emperor darkened his face beside her, she didn't believe that Tang Feng would definitely have a woman in this world who was more beautiful than her, didn't she know that he intended to match Miss Li Wu to the King of the Southwest, so she intended to win over!
Li Wu glanced at his mother, who nodded and motioned for her to hurry up.
Thinking of the fierce history of the imperial concubine, Li Wu walked forward with apprehension, although it seemed to outsiders to be very calm and polite, it was because she was the only one who felt the sweat on her back.
"The little girl greets the mother." Li Wu stepped forward and saluted her again.
walked in, Tang Feng found that this was indeed a beauty with bright eyes and bright teeth. Although her eyebrows are light and she has a pair of willow eyes, she is not as cute as the girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but she has an uncarved jade quality, and her face is only the size of a palm, which looks like a little jasper.
Tang Feng really praised the beauty, at least the appearance she liked. Li Wu looked at her in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it.
"What? This palace can't tease you. Seeing the little girl's surprised look, Tang Feng really laughed.
Li Wu's cheeks flushed, and he snorted, "Niangniang is the national color and natural fragrance, and the posture is natural." The implication is that you yourself are a beautiful woman, how can you still think that others are beautiful.
Tang Feng's eyes bent, and the smile between her eyebrows and eyes was about to overflow, this little girl's thoughts were sincere enough. She beckoned to Li Wu and motioned for her to come closer.
Li Wu took two steps forward, Tang Feng stretched out his hand, and Li Wu was stunned for a moment, "Niangniang?" ”
"Come on."
Li Wu handed his hand out, Tang Feng raised his wrist, removed a pair of white jade bracelets hanging from his wrist, and pushed it directly between her wrists.
"You're good-looking, you're smart, and I'm very fond of it. This pair of white jade bracelets was rewarded by the emperor in the year when the palace entered the palace, so I will give it to you today. ”
Li Wu was surprised, the legendary imperial concubine was very difficult to approach, and she was about to turn her face with people at every turn, why was she so kind to her today? Oh my God, is she really going to get involved in a political battle? Li Wu knelt down in fear.
"I don't dare to refuse, but since this white jade bracelet was given to Niangniang by the first emperor, it must be of great significance to Niangniang, and the little girl doesn't dare to take advantage of others."
Tang Feng saw that she was going to take off the bracelet, so he gave a look to the lotus root, and the latter immediately stepped forward to help Li Wu up, pressed her hand quietly, and said with a smile, "The girl has won the love of the mother, and this white jade bracelet can be regarded as a gift to the right person." ”
Li Wu felt the power of the lotus root pressing on her wrist, and naturally knew that this was not a reward that could be refused, so she was obediently grateful.
Tang Feng suddenly changed his words, looked at the little emperor, and said, "I heard that Your Majesty intends to give Miss Li to the King of the Southwest as a princess?" ”
The imperial concubine wanted to talk to the emperor, Li Wu was naturally taken aside by the lotus root, and his body trembled unconsciously when he heard that it was related to his life's events.
The little emperor had already understood Tang Feng's intentions, and said with a very ugly face, "I just want to be a matchmaker for the king of the southwest, and as for the choice of the princess, of course, the king of the southwest should be the main one." ”
"Oh? Bengong thinks this Li girl is very good. Tang Feng said slowly and logically.
"The mother thinks it's good, maybe the prince also thinks it's good, or the prince likes it." The little emperor replied coldly.
The next moment, Tang Fengde's gaze turned to the bottom, and after pretending to look for half a circle with his eyes, he said with a smile, "Then please ask the King of the Southwest to come and ask." ”
Everyone's bodies trembled, why is this staring at the king of the southwest again?!
And there's more!
Everyone looked at the king of the southwest with sympathy or curiosity, wondering if he would make any moves of resistance in his status today.
Feng Xianji got up and walked to the front to stop, bowed his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang." ”
Tang Feng raised his eyebrows high, and asked with a smile, "The prince thinks that His Majesty's marriage line is still in line with the prince's heart?" ”
The little emperor furrowed his brows, not sure what Tang Feng was hiding. It was indeed his will to give Li Wu to the king of the southwest, and the marquis of Qinghe was impartial, and he would definitely not do anything that violated the ethics of the law, so he was very confident in arranging Li Wu to go to the southwest palace. But now looking at Tang Feng's attitude, it seems that he knows his abacus, and if he puts Li Wu and the King of the Southwest together in a bunch, will there be other variables?
