Chapter 107: Fighting in Public
Although Feng Huanling was a little apprehensive in his heart, his face was still calm and composed, and he just looked at Leng Xiangyuan with puzzled eyes.
Among the three people present, the most unclear reason was Feng Huanbing, but she instinctively chose to protect her sister, "Leng Xiuyi doesn't want to make a fuss here, since her sister can be favored by King Cheyue to marry as a concubine, she is naturally different." β
Leng Xiangyuan hooked his lips and smiled when he heard this, stared at Feng Huanling with deep meaning, and said, "Sister Concubine De is right, the woman who can make His Royal Highness King Cheyue look at her differently is naturally different. β
After that, Leng Xiuyi turned around and left, but Feng Huanling couldn't calm down for a long time because of her eyes before leaving.
When the time for the banquet came, Concubine Su Xian, the main owner of the palace banquet, had just arrived at the Imperial Garden, but she had a little more smile than her usual cold appearance, but she still didn't talk too much, but Concubine Mo Shu, who came with her, helped to say a few more polite words on the side.
Concubine Mo Shu, who has been five months old, has a significant bulge in her abdomen, even if she is dressed widely, it is difficult to hide her pregnancy, but her face has not changed much, and she still maintains her original beauty and charm.
Putting aside the low-ranking Leng Xiuyi, Concubine Fengde has fallen out of favor, and among the four concubines, Concubine Mo Shu and Concubine Su Xian, who are naturally both pregnant with dragons, are the most beautiful, and among them, Concubine Su Xian, who is even more favored, is the most eye-catching. But the harem ladies have always done very well on the table, so after the banquet, the little lords of the palace scrambled to curry favor with Concubine Xian, and the invited ministers and daughters also sent congratulatory gifts for Concubine Xian's promotion and the dragon descendant.
Feng Huanling, who had a good personal relationship with Su Moxuan, naturally prepared a congratulatory gift, and still asked Long Yucang to help prepare it, because she didn't want to fall into the clichΓ©, so she took a lot of trouble to get an object that only cultivators would regard as treasures.
It was a very ordinary-looking Pisces jade pendant, the whole body was crystal clear and white without flaws, and the carving was so detailed that the fish scales were lifelike. If jade is just concerned, it is definitely priceless among the people, but it is not particularly outstanding when placed in the palace full of treasures.
However, since it was given by Princess Cheyue, there are naturally many young masters who are interested in flattery, and they praise this jade pendant as nothing in the sky or in the earth.
Feng Qingwan said with a bit of yin and yang at this time: "It's just a delicate jade pendant, hasn't the princess always been good friends with Concubine Su Xian?" Such a congratulatory gift is a bit stingy, right? β
Mo Yaqin's violent death dealt a big blow to Feng Qingwan, although she saw Feng Huanbing fall out of favor because of this, but it was difficult for her to be happy about it. In addition, she heard that her mother was set on fire by her second aunt on the day of her funeral, which made her almost faint, although Zhi Yao's cheap maid had been buried in the fire, but she still counted the hatred that was vented from afar on Feng Huanling, who was good friends with Zhi Yao.
She originally didn't want to see her sister, but now she is naturally even more disgusted, and she doesn't even want to do any more work on the surface of harmony, so she deliberately provokes a thorn in public.
Su Moxuan, who had practiced in Yuanling Mountain, was playing with the Pisces jade pendant in her hand, as early as when she first saw it, she found that this jade pendant was by no means ordinary, and when she got it in her hand, she felt bursts of aura gushing into her body along the palm of her hand, making her suddenly feel that her whole body was extremely comfortable, and she was more and more sure that this was a rare treasure.
Su Moxuan didn't care about the flattery of those flatterers, but Feng Qingwan's ridicule made her frown for a moment, and said coldly without mercy: "If Feng Zhaoyi lacks eyesight and can't recognize what a treasure is, just keep silent, why blatantly show that he is invincible and ridiculous?" β
Without waiting for Feng Qingwan, who was blue-faced, to answer, Leng Xiangyuan, who was usually a maverick, had already slapped his hands and smiled: "In this dull court, it really belongs to Concubine Su Xian who is the most to my liking!" This Pisces jade pendant is not only difficult to buy, for people with eyes and beads, it is just an ordinary jade pendant, but anyone who has seen a little bit of the world should be able to see that this is a rare immortal weapon that is rare for thousands of years! β
If Leng Xiangyuan's words are counted, I am afraid that there are only a handful of people in the palace who can be regarded as "people who have seen a little bit of the world".
Non-cultivators couldn't see the doorway of the Pisces jade pendant at all, so as soon as Leng Xiuyi's words came out, everyone at the banquet was in an uproar, even if most people didn't even know what a "fairy weapon" was, but just by saying "rare to see in a thousand years", they understood the extreme preciousness of this thing.
"Princess Cheyue is really generous." Leng Xiangyuan looked at Feng Huanling with a smile, "But this gift is too low-key, so the treasure is only given like an ordinary congratulatory gift, and it will naturally be buried." I have rarely had the opportunity to show my spells since I entered the palace, and it is rare to meet a 'bosom friend' today, so why don't you ask the princess to use this Pisces jade pendant to fight with me, how about it? β
Obviously, not long ago, Leng Xiangyuan also announced that Feng Huanling was completely a "waste wood" in terms of fairy bones, but in the blink of an eye, he asked to fight with her in public, obviously intentionally wanting her to make a fool of herself in public.
Su Moxuan grabbed the white and said: "Leng Xiuyi is a genius beast master from far away from the Tiger Roaring Country, this is already known to the world, but Princess Cheyue has never practiced, Leng Xiuyi's proposal is unfair." If you really want to fight, how about the princess of this palace and Leng Xiuyi? β
Leng Xiangyuan didn't feel too surprised that Concubine Su Xian was so proud of Princess Cheyue, and said calmly: "Concubine Xian's Niangniang Ken Xuanzun's fighting method with me is naturally very good, but Niangniang is now pregnant with Liujia, who doesn't know how much the saint cherishes Niangniang's fetus, and how much I, a mountain woman, don't know how to etiquette, but I don't dare to hurt Niangniang and the dragon descendant in the womb in the slightest." If Niangniang wants to learn from me, and give birth to the emperor safely in eight months, it is not too late to find another opportunity. β
The dragon fetus is obviously an extremely effective excuse for refusal, because no one dares to joke about the emperor, even if Su Moxuan wants to help Feng Huanling, he can't fight with others as pregnant, even if he is a little anxious.
"Thanks to Leng Xiuyi, but as Concubine Xian said, I have never learned any spells, and I have long known that I don't have immortal roots." Feng Huanling first gave Su Moxuan a reassuring look before continuing, "However, this Pisces Jade Pendant is indeed a rare treasure, and the prince simply taught me how to activate its aura to cast spells when he helped me find this treasure. If Leng Xiuyi insists on fighting with me, I have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany me, and I should be the double happiness of the virtuous concubine and Niangniang, and add some more color. β
Hearing this, Leng Xiangyuan looked at Feng Huanling with a little more appreciation in his eyes, and replied neatly: "Okay, since it is to add color to the virtuous concubine, then we don't have to fight and kill, so we will use the things already in this imperial garden as a help, and see whose spells win more applause, who wins, how about it?" β
It is best for Feng Huanling not to have to fight and kill and endanger each other's lives, so she nodded briskly, and politely gave the opponent to cast the spell first, Leng Xiangyuan did not push, and neatly got up and left the table and walked to the middle of the field.
"Actually, I proposed to fight with the princess, not because I really like to be competitive, but in fact, the congratulatory gift I prepared for the virtuous concubine today is to present it with the spell of this carving insect technique."
As soon as Leng Xiangyuan said this, everyone who had been complaining about her behavior felt a little surprised, but she didn't say anything more, and after blessing Concubine Su Xian, Concubine Mo Shu and Concubine Fengde on the throne, she turned around and walked towards the Yuhu Lake in the distance.
Looking at the royal lake along the graceful background, the wind was clear and graceful from the stomach, and I remembered that my mother was killed because of the cold evil that fell into the lake, and I couldn't help but feel a heartache.
When Leng Xiangyuan stopped when she was about five zhang away from the Imperial Lake, she made a gesture with her hands in her mouth, and then saw what she sprinkled into the air with her hand.
Feng Huanling didn't understand the way of these spells at all, so she didn't have the heart to see how the spells were cast over there, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention at the banquet was attracted by Leng Xiangyuan, she used the excuse of preparing in advance for the "magic event" later, so she took the Pisces jade pendant that Su Moxuan temporarily handed back to her, and hid alone in the vacant pavilion nearby.
After making sure that Zhilan was already guarding outside the pavilion, Feng Huanling pulled out the jade hairpin on his head, and summoned the thousand-year-old tree spirit of Qingling Mountain-Ghost Fire according to the method that Long Yucang had taught.
"Yawn...... I don't think you're going to call me out again, so let's say, what's the matter? Which unlucky person should I save to death? Or will it help you solve the unlucky person who is going to die? β
The ghost fire that slowly condensed into a cloud of turquoise mist, still looked like a doll about three years old, as if she had just woken up and yawned lazily, but the words she said were very connotative, and no matter how you listened to it, it was a little domineering.
"Do you know this Pisces jade pendant?" Feng Huanling didn't bother with him, and directly sent the jade pendant to him, "Someone wants to fight with me today, and when I stand in the middle of the field later, you just need to use the mana of this jade pendant to look at these flowers and plants in the garden, and make some magical scenes that can win the house." β
Seeing the Pisces jade pendant, the little ghost fire, who was obviously very knowledgeable, was immediately sleepy, and his sleepy eyes were like copper bells.
"After that, will I give this thing?"
"No way!"
"Why? I'm also a waste of energy when I cast spells, okay? Isn't it okay to get paid for it? You're too stingy, master! β
ββ¦β¦β
"Okay, okay, then borrow this jade pendant to nourish me for a few days, right?"
"This jade pendant has already promised to give it away."
ββ¦β¦β
At that time, there were bursts of exclamations and applause in the banquet not far away, Feng Huanling followed the prestige, only to see that the water in the royal lake somehow went straight to the sky, and countless koi fish were dancing in groups in the water curtain that seemed to fall from the sky, as if they were sane, and the scene was not spectacular and magical.
When the ghost fire received her gaze again, he immediately snorted angrily, "Okay, okay, I know, at least it's better than that, right?" Alas, my thousand-year-old elves, you have been used for such vaudeville things! β
Feng Huanling didn't care what the little guy complained about, communicated with him about the specific "spells" to be shown later, and hurried back to the banquet hall.
