In the main hall, only Zhao Shufei's soft and coquettish voice could be heard, she looked so unhappy that even the corners of her eyes were dripping with tears, she picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped it lightly.

The two families of Concubine Qi and Concubine Zhao in the harem are both raised by princes, and the rest of the concubines have to be carefully attached to the two of them, in order to find a place in the palace and not be forgotten by His Majesty.

Although Qi Guifei is a half-old, her grace has lasted for decades and has never been broken, and now she is a concubine, and she has a faint tendency to press Zhao Shufei, but even this has never made Zhao Shufei jealous.

Zhao Shufei's maternal grandmother is the eldest princess and the aunt of His Majesty today, Zhao Shufei and His Majesty have grown up in friendship, and she represents the royal relatives and nobles of the Manchu Jin Dynasty in the palace.

The second prince and the third prince have all grown up, and who has become the minister of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and it is unknown who is right to stand is what His Majesty wants.

"Concubine Qi is gentle and virtuous, and she has the most His Majesty's sacred heart, and this matter should be your favorite." Zhao Shufei said with a smile.

Qi Guifei held a cup of tea in her hand, her fingertips were slightly white, and her voice remained unchanged: "Yes, the women in this palace are like flowers, but you can't choose more pleasing people for Your Majesty to come in. ”

Concubine Zhao Shu doesn't care much, even if others are favored, they can't get past her, as long as she is still a royal prince one day, His Majesty will not snub her, besides, the women in the harem should have changed their stubble a long time ago, otherwise where should she find her fun.

"Only when flowers bloom can they bear fruit, this palace looks at all the talents, who can make His Majesty happy, but if you don't have to choose, your eyes hurt, and Concubine Qi is afraid that she will also have a headache."

Concubine Zhao Shufei beckoned to Rong Feng, with a gorgeous smile on the corner of her mouth, as if the spring color of the palace was about to lose its color in front of her: "She looks so good-looking, but it's a pity that the belly of this palace can't get a delicate daughter." ”

Rong Feng stepped forward slowly, and the hands overlapped in the abdomen were gently held by Zhao Shufei, and the tentacles were the coldness of the armor, which made Rong Feng inadvertently raise a little vigilance.

Seeing that Concubine Zhao Shufei was smiling like a flower, her words seemed to be poisonous: "The women sitting here are jealous, thinking that your mother is the daughter of a merchant, how can she be worthy of the position of Mrs. Hou, knowing that your mother is seriously ill and gloating, she feels that she is Pu Liuzi who can't afford this blessing and suffers." ”

The tea cup in Qi Guifei's hand was slightly heavy on the table: "Sister Shufei is cautious!" ”

Concubine Zhao Shufei's soft eyes were slightly raised, she glanced at the people in the hall with slanted eyes, and said in a slightly cold voice: "What is Concubine Qi afraid of?" Your Majesty likes this palace the most, and there are things to say bluntly, and there is never a false and wronged snake. Since you dare to think like this in your heart, why should you be afraid of this palace pointing it out, if not, remember that you are not afraid of shadows. ”

Rong Feng lowered his eyes and said softly: "Your Majesty personally gave the marriage, and my mother is worthy of the position of Mrs. Hou, otherwise, the people here think that Your Majesty has the intention to humiliate and meritorious ministers." ”

Everyone's faces changed slightly, and they lowered their heads a little weakly.

Concubine Zhao Shu's eyes lit up, and she appreciated Rong Feng's boldness and her mother's maintenance a little more: "It's really good, it was His Majesty who gave the marriage in person back then, if you have any objections, it is Your Majesty who should ask, but here to embarrass a little girl." ”

Concubine Zhao Shu seems to be maintaining Rong Feng, but in fact, everyone understands that this is giving Qi Guifei no face, everyone is sitting on pins and needles, and no one can afford to provoke the two big Buddhas, who knows who will be the Son of Heaven above these 10,000 people in the future, and they can't help but feel a little more resentful about the lady of the family who just opened her mouth to make it difficult for Rong Feng.

I saw the lady of the family huddled in the corner and said nothing.

Qi Guifei smiled faintly, but this smile was not up to the bottom of her eyes, today is her birthday, Zhao Shufei is deliberately giving her no face, telling her that even if she is a noble concubine, she has to look at her face.

The more this happened, the softer the smile on her face became: "It's rare that Concubine Shu likes Miss Rong so much, today is the birthday banquet of this palace, it is better to be rewarded by this palace." ”

As she spoke, she slowly took off a gem-inlaid emerald hairpin from her head, put it in her hand and looked at it: "This hairpin is given by His Majesty personally, you don't have to refuse, only this kind of thing can be rewarded." ”

As we all know, this gem-encrusted emerald hairpin is copper-plated and gold-plated, and is inlaid with ruby, tourmaline, jadeite, coral, pearl and other jewelry. The hairpin is decorated with the word "Xi" wearing coral beads, dotting emerald ruyi, dotting emerald bats, dotting emerald streamers, etc., implying longevity and longevity for all generations. The hairpin craft is complicated, the selection of materials is expensive, and it is the fine product in the palace concubine jewelry.

Qi Guifei's reward was a little incomprehensible, even Rong Han on the side couldn't help but have red eyes, and secretly held his hand, why is it the fourth sister again?!

Rong Feng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he leaned over slightly and said, "Thank you for the reward." As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and was about to take the hairpin in Qi Guifei's hand.

Qi Guifei pouted with a strange smile, her eyes were slightly cold, and when she was about to put the hairpin in her hand into Rong Feng's hand, there was only a little distance left to fall into Rong Feng's hand, and she deviated without a trace.

Everyone only heard a "bang", and saw the hairpin fall from Rong Feng's hand, and the jewels embedded in it fell sporadically and rolled down on the ground.

Qi Guifei's face immediately sank: "Bold!" ”

Rong Feng naturally knelt down when she heard the sound, but she didn't see half a panic, a sharp stabbing pain came from her knee, most of which was pressed on the fallen jewelry, she lowered her head and didn't say a word.

Yun Xiao behind him knelt down, but when he saw Qi Guifei's movements clearly, his heart sank, and he thought in a panic that this was obviously to deliberately embarrass their girls.

Qi Guifei said bitterly: "This hairpin is given by His Majesty, even if you are dissatisfied with this palace and think that it is this palace that makes you and your mother ridiculed, you shouldn't drop this hairpin." You are defying the Emperor's grace. ”

Concubine Zhao Shufei was sitting on the wall watching at the moment, looking lively, she wanted to know how the little girl Rong Feng could break the siege, and how the little girl who was about to enter the palace could win a place in the harem.

Rong Han and Qi knelt down together to intercede for Rong Feng, and Rong Han spoke: "Auntie forgive me, the fourth sister must not mean it, and ask my aunt to forgive her." ”

Qi Guifei said: "You don't need to say more, this matter was done by the fourth girl Rong alone, and this palace will never be angry with her." Rong Si Girl's eyes are above the top, disdainful of the palace's favor, despise the emperor's grace, and the palace ......"

Before the words were finished, he heard Rong Feng say lightly: "The courtiers never dared to think that the concubine would have such a great reward, the concubine Niangniang listened to what the villain said and misunderstood the courtiers and the courtiers' mothers, but the courtiers did not dare to be dissatisfied, but they were just wronged for the courtiers' mothers, she had the grace of giving birth to the courtiers, but the courtiers could not share a trace of illness for her, and even receiving the concubine's reward was also uneasy." ”

Qi Guifei's eyes raised slightly: "Miss Rong is really a well-spoken mouth, but this palace doesn't know how to punish you." She paused, and then said: "But this hairpin was given by His Majesty, and now it has been broken, so there should be a saying." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Guifei made up her mind to punish Rong Feng.

Rong Feng didn't beg for mercy either, and said calmly: "But please punish the concubine." It's just that the courtiers have a word, Your Majesty has a gift, and the concubine should be properly kept. ”

Suddenly, a chuckle came, Qi Guifei frowned, and said with a gentle expression: "Since Huaiyin is here, why don't you let people spread it." ”

I saw a woman the same age as Rong Feng, shaking a horsewhip with a red gold bell in her hand, her expression was flying, and she was wearing a red Luo skirt like the blazing sun, she slowly got up and clasped her arms with both hands: "I came to celebrate Concubine Qi's birthday, but I didn't expect to hear such a good show." ”

She stepped forward lightly, her eyebrows and eyes were heroic, but she did not lose the coquettishness of her daughter's family: "Concubine Qi despises the emperor's grace one by one, and you give others what your father has given to others so easily, this is contempt." Besides, the emperor's grace is vast, you are narrow-minded, and you talk about the emperor's grace at every turn, which is even more contemptible. ”

She turned the horsewhip in her hand and said coldly: "So many people bully one person and oppress others with power, this princess really feels ridiculous." ”

Zhao Shufei saw that Qi Guifei's face was a little ugly, but she was smiling, and she was really relieved.

Qi Guifei said slowly: "It's rare to see Huaiyin defending a person like this, but you and Miss Rong Si know each other?" ”

Princess Huaiyin raised her eyes: "This princess likes to fight grievances, if Concubine Qi feels that this princess has offended you, you can complain to her father, but this princess is not afraid." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden silence, but I saw another person walk in, and everyone got up together, but seeing Xie Yu holding the holy decree in his hand, his expression of death swept everyone.

Xie Yu's eyes were raised slightly, as if they were standing like dead people in the hall, and Princess Huaiyin, who was still arrogant, immediately hid aside and said, "Why is this plague god here?" ”

Qi Guifei had a smile on her face, and no one in the palace was stammering with the red man in front of His Majesty: "Why is Yuan Yijun here, but what is Your Majesty's will?" ”

Xie Yu glanced at Rong Feng, who was kneeling, and his voice was calm: "This monarch will send a birthday gift for Your Majesty for Concubine Qi." ”

Qi Guifei was overjoyed, but when she heard Xie Yu, she said again: "Your Majesty knows that the daughter of the Ronghou Mansion entered the palace today and specially asked this monarch to announce her will, and Rong Feng, the daughter of the prince, listened to the seal." ”

Everyone was stunned, this is Marquis Rong's entry into the knighthood?!

Rong Han's face was ugly, and he already knew that this was the holy decree of entering Rong Feng as the county lord.

Rong Feng was indifferent, raised his hands high to receive the holy decree, and suddenly his hands were warm, and Xie Yu helped her up.

Rong Feng was stunned for a moment, and said word by word: "Thank you Yuan Yijun." ”

Xie Yu touched Rong Feng's fingers, sensing that her fingertips were cold, and the stagnant water in her eyes moved slightly.

"The county lord doesn't need to thank you."

Xie Yu said again: Your Majesty has something to ask this gentleman to pass on on his behalf, today's birthday banquet of Qi Guifei, His Majesty is busy with government affairs and cannot come, and the concubine is also unable to leave, please go to the Nine Layers Hall to accompany you. ”
