Chapter 32: The Dinner

Fei Ranchu didn't know how to explain to Xicui that her master had died a long time ago, and she didn't want to lie to her, so she could only say this.

Xicui nodded knowingly.

Although I still think it's a little strange, it's not important, it's all about the rebirth of Niangniang's nirvana!

……

The venue of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is in the Chonghua Hall of the Imperial Palace, which was originally a place of sacrifice, and later became a meeting place for the royal family and nobles on major festivals, and then it simply became a fixed occasion for outsiders and gatherings.

The guests actually arrived at the palace at noon, but the Chonghua Hall would not open until the evening, so these people had to play in the imperial garden.

On this side of the flower wall, it is a place for all the female guests to gather temporarily, although there is a place to sit and rest, but most people will not give up this opportunity to make friends, although they are also famous women, but who doesn't want to make a few more useful friends.

The girls gathered in piles of three or four to talk about the same topic, either which one in the capital was easy to use or which one was the son-in-law.

For them, being reserved is just a disguise in front of adults and the opposite sex, and it does not exist in front of the same sex.

I saw a woman here wearing a lotus pink shirt, with fair skin, a waist full of hands, wearing a Dongzhu step and shaking, swaying gently when she laughed, shining in the sun, very beautiful.

This person is Zhang Yilu, Fei Jiqing's best friend, and now after entering the palace, the two will occasionally contact each other.

Zhang Yilu is surrounded by several official eunuchs, all of whom are flattering her, and they have not stopped at all since she appeared to the present.

No way, who called her the daughter of a cabinet scholar? The children of Beijing want to take the top prize, and the test papers written have to be approved by her father!

"Sister Zhang's skin has been getting better and better recently." One of the women said.

As soon as her words fell, the other woman couldn't wait to continue to flatter.

"The hairpin on Sister Zhang's head is from Liuli Pavilion? Oh, my God! I've seen it, but people say it's custom-made, not for sale, and my sister is still curious about who has such a good taste, it turns out to be your sister! ”

The person who spoke was Xu Jingsi, the daughter of a fourth-grade petty official, and finally the whole family had a place, and her father directly gave it to her.

Her words greatly pleased Zhang Yilu.

She stretched out her hand and held the hairpin weakly.

"Actually, I ordered two, one is the one on my head with Bi Xuelian, and the other is a golden peony, which is for Sister Qing'er."

"Oh my God, is it Concubine Xiang? Sister, you have such a good relationship with the concubine, and now you are still called a nickname, and we people are really out of reach. A trace of jealousy flashed in Xu Jingsi's eyes, but she still said with a smile on her face.

Zhang Yilu glanced at her contemptuously and said ostentatiously.

"Hehe, it's actually Sister Qing'er who asked me to call it that, no way, she said she didn't want to see each other!"

Just when several people were happily flattering each other, a discordant voice suddenly came from the side.

"Who should I be so good at showing off, it turns out to be the Zhang family."

This voice was so targeted that Zhang Yilu wanted to explode when she heard it, but when she turned around and saw the person who spoke, she forcibly held back the words, and then saluted.

"Yilu has seen Lord Fanghua."

The woman in front of her was wearing a dark coat, not as deliberate as other women, but she looked fresh and refined, without extra hairpins on her head, which was indeed more elegant than her identity.

This person is the lord of Fanghua, the full name is Zhao Yushu, is the only royal sister of His Majesty today, after the death of the first emperor, the crown prince Zhao Yufeng succeeded to the throne, and named the imperial sister as the lord of Fanghua, with her wish in the capital to give a mansion, to live outside, which is why she will appear here instead of in the harem.

Zhao Yushu waved his hand deliberately, "With such a big aroma of fat powder, sister of the Zhang family, are you here to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet or to participate in the draft?" ”

Zhang Yilu's eyes instantly turned red because of her words.

Humiliation, unwillingness, and anger swept through her heart at the same time.

"Where the county lord said, the little girl naturally came to ......"

"Coming to the draft?" Zhao Yushu interrupted her coldly, as if she was looking at a piece of garbage.

"County Lord......" Zhang Yilu finally cried, "Why do you want to target the little girl so much? That incident two years ago, it's really not ......"

As soon as he heard the words "two years ago", Zhao Yushu's face changed suddenly.

She stared at Zhang Yilu's face quietly, without superfluous expressions, but all her emotions were vividly interpreted in one look.

If Zhang Yilu hadn't seen it before, I'm afraid she really thought that Zhao Yushu was going to kill herself.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Yushu suddenly smiled, then didn't say anything, turned around and left.

After she left, the expression on Zhang Yilu's face gradually turned gloomy.

"Two years ago...... What the? Xu Jingsi was really curious, so she asked.

"Heh......" Zhang Yilu smiled and glanced at Xu Jingsi: "What's the matter with you?" ”

Xu Jingsi didn't expect her to speak so directly without giving herself face, and her face turned pale in an instant, but if she thought about it carefully, she didn't seem to be qualified to make people smile at her.

……

The banquet is about to begin, the guests enter one by one, the royal family and nobles also take turns to enter, the scene is extremely grand, and any person has status.

The royal family sat at the top of the main hall, and the rest of the people sat below, and after half an hour, all the three hundred foreign guests entered, followed by the prince and the like, then the concubines of the harem, and finally His Majesty.

There was no clear rule on the time of entry, but as long as Zhao Yufeng was happy, he could keep these people waiting.

After the prince and the imperial prince all entered, it was the turn of the concubines in the harem.

Concubine Zhen and Concubine Cui entered together, and the next one was Fei Jiqing.

"Xiang Guifei has arrived!" The eunuch tore his throat and roared,

The door opened, and a woman stood in the doorway.

She was wearing a rose-red concubine suit, a hairpin full of clouds on her head, and a little vermilion between her eyebrows, and the moment she appeared, she shocked everyone present.

When she walked in slowly, the crisp sound of the steps on her head colliding with each other surrounded everyone, like music.

"Oh my God...... The first time I saw Xiang Guifei, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful! A man whispered to a friend next to him.

"Shhhh How can you talk about the concubine? Shut up and praise it in your heart! ”

When Fei Jiqing walked to her position, it took half an hour, because she wanted to walk in style and show the dignity of her identity.
