Chapter Twenty-Four: The Feng Sisters

At the end of March, a hundred flowers are waiting to be released, and spring swallows are flying.

In the imperial garden of the imperial city, the red bees come and go, and it is even more prosperous.

Today, the Empress Dowager held a hundred flowers banquet in the Moyang Palace, and the invited to attend were all the noble daughters of the late gate valve of the prosperous family of Daqi.

Originally, several little ladies in the Feng Mansion were not listed, which is not to say that they did not pay attention to it or were neglected, but among the noble daughters of the Feng family who have not yet left the cabinet, except for Feng Xinhua, the sixth lady to be married, she is over seventeen years old.

The seven ladies and the eight ladies at the bottom are not yet thirteen years old, so it stands to reason that they don't need to participate.

Two days ago, when she helped the Empress Dowager list her name, Feng Xihua sighed lightly and said to herself: "I think when I was eleven or twelve years old, every time I saw my sisters wearing makeup to attend the banquet, I was very envious.

At that time, Mama Qin told me that when I grew up to the age of my sister, I would have the opportunity to participate, but when I reached this age, I had already entered the palace, alas, when my two little sisters grew up, they should be luckier than my fifth sister. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Zuo Zhaoyi Feng Miaohua glanced at her with a smile on her face, and said cautiously: "Look, I wronged you, I don't know who I thought bullied you." ”

On the side, Feng Huihua, the fourth lady who was newly promoted to Right Zhaoyi, smiled slightly and said: "I heard my mother say that the dementia of the seventh sister of the long house has been cured, but I don't know if it's true?" ”

Feng Xihua's eyes fluttered slightly, "Yes, I'm ashamed, I'm an older sister, I almost forgot that I still have a sick seventh sister, let alone what she looks like now, I only vaguely remember that the seventh sister looked cute when she was a child." ”

As he spoke, he pinched his handkerchief and smiled.

Feng Xihua looks like Xiao's mother, she is beautiful, not like Feng Miaohua, she is bright and dazzling wherever she goes, charming and flamboyant.

The personality is not as stubborn as Feng Qinghua and Feng Huihua, and his joys, sorrows, and joys are not visible.

On the contrary, she is a straightforward personality and a straightforward temperament.

Therefore, the old lady never thought of sending her to the palace as a concubine, if it weren't for the incident two years ago, she wouldn't be here now.

"According to my mother, Seventh Sister's dementia is cured, but the scars on her face ......" Feng Huihua was a little crying when he was halfway through his words, "It's really pitiful to think about." ”

Feng Miaohua rolled her eyelids speechlessly, and said lazily: "I want to see her." ”

Feng Xihua's eyes lit up, she reached out to hold her arm, and said coquettishly: "Second sister, I also have this intention, why don't we go and beg my aunt and grandmother!" ”

"I ......" is only what I say, how can I take it seriously?

Feng Miaohua's face changed, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Feng Huihua on the side covered his lips and chuckled, "Don't let the Empress Dowager see the joke." ”

"I saw that the fourth sister was so sad just now, and I also felt that this seventh sister was really pitiful." Saying that, he lowered his eyes and said regretfully, "It's not for my aunt and grandmother to see the joke, the seventh sister's face ...... Alas, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend such a banquet in my lifetime. ”

As soon as Feng Xihua's words fell, he heard a voice outside the side hall: "The Empress Dowager has arrived~!" ”

"Who is so pitiful that they can't attend a banquet for the rest of their lives?"

The three sisters stood up at the same time and greeted each other: "See the Empress Dowager!" ”

After the salute, Feng Xihua went to help with a smile, "Grandmother, your ears are so good, you can hear it from so far away." ”

Feng Miaohua rolled her eyes speechlessly, and said in her heart; This old five is really lacking in heart, just talk about this kind of thing with her own sisters, it's really serious, if you go to the queen mother to say it, it's too ignorant!

Could it be that I really want to ask the Empress Dowager for mercy and let that ugly girl who broke her appearance enter the palace for a banquet?

Feng Huihua, who was standing silently on the side, also frowned.

The Empress Dowager is also surnamed Feng in the end, and she is naturally much closer to her granddaughters-in-law than other concubines.

I saw her pat Feng Xihua's hand and smile amiably, "You three sisters are so energetic, come and tell the mourning family, who is so pitiful that a lifetime can't attend the banquet?" ”

Feng Miaohua was about to explain that there was no such thing.

Feng Xihua had already pounced and knelt down: "Ask the Empress Dowager for mercy!" ”

The Empress Dowager was stunned, "This kid, how can he be so good, and he still kneels?" ”

When Feng Xihua heard this, she knelt more upright, she lowered her head and said: "Empress Dowager, do you still remember that the eldest uncle of the concubine, your eldest nephew, Feng Da Sima, who has been fighting abroad all the year round, has a concubine who suffered from dementia and hurt her face in her early years, so she has never been familiar to outsiders. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled, "Isn't it, the one born to Princess Le'anβ€”what's it called, the one who travels seven?" ”

"It's the seventh sister, the girl's name is Linghua, she is not yet thirteen years old this year, if it weren't for the fact that when she was six or seven years old, the nurse's poor care caused a big disaster, and now the seventh sister should be the best looking among our sisters."

Feng Huihua was accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when she saw that the Empress Dowager looked quite concerned, she also knelt down.

"It's a good name, but it's a pity, it's a poor child." The Empress Dowager nodded, as if she was sad again, and sighed and said: "It is said that it was also brought to the main hall by the prince in the imperial history." ”

"It's been almost two months since that incident, and the Empress Dowager still remembers it." Feng Miaohua curtched his knees and said.

"Can it be bad, as soon as the abolition queen died, someone kicked his nose in the face and dared to talk about our Changle Feng's family affairs."

The Empress Dowager's tone was a little lower.

Come to think of it, she hated it for a long time when she knew about it, and she would remember it so clearly.

Also, no matter how Changle Feng is her maiden family, she usually has to forget about her usual verbal weirdness.

If anyone really dares to go to the court to talk about things, it will be impossible to get along with her mother's family. If you can't get along with her mother's family, doesn't it mean you can't get along with her, the queen mother?

It is said that not long after the blindness of Wang Xiang, he was exposed, and the outer room of his dependents was what Nanliang's fine work, not to mention the loss of his official position, and he almost lost his life.

Later, if it weren't for the phoenix Wang Su of his own family, Langya Wang, who felt that something was wrong and investigated from it, he saved his little life, but I am afraid that the grass on Wang Xiang's grave would have come out at this time.

Since then, few people in the court have dared to take any abolishing the death of the queen and the short matter of the family to embarrass the Feng family.

Feng Miaohua's eyes rolled around, and she immediately knelt down, and said timidly: "It's not, my grandfather has been sick for a long time because of this, and he has also affected the concubine's father." ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, her brows furrowed slightly, and the dislike in her heart was written on her face.
