Chapter 373: Sitting on pins and needles! What does it taste like?
Lin Feiyuan bit her lip with some hesitation when she heard this, and her slightly pale face became more and more moving: "The courtiers thank the emperor for their care, but the courtiers and Princess Zhaohua had some misunderstandings before, and they were worried that they would annoy her in front of the princess, so they didn't dare to ask for the door." ”
Concubine Li hurriedly intercepted the conversation: "You girl is thoughtful, she was spoiled before, she didn't know how to do things, and she offended Princess Zhaohua a lot, but now her temperament has improved, but she is overkill, and she doesn't stop thinking about everything a few times, it's really helpless." ”
Lin Feiyuan hung her head slightly, her smooth forehead was white and radiant, and tears slowly gathered in her eyes, but she forcibly suppressed her: "Auntie, Fei Fei almost lost her temper, please forgive my aunt." ”
What is more pitiful than a beautiful woman crying? Naturally, the beauty wants to talk and rest, and the tears seem to be falling, obviously heartbroken, but she can't help but pretend to smile.
As a result, many ladies and ladies who had prejudices against Lin Feiyuan have changed their minds, after all, this girl is still young, and it is normal to be confused for a while, just change it.
Shen Ninghua held the teacup and sneered at the meaning of her lips, this aunt and nephew are really interesting, and the two of them cooperated together to spare her. In three or two sentences, they have become good people who know their mistakes and can change them, but Lin Feiyuan has become better, does she have to forgive her? Could it be that she has become better and sinned a great sin if she does not forgive?
Hmph, it's just taking advantage of other people's sympathy and doing disgusting things to force people to succumb! In this situation, if she refuses to help Lin Feiyuan, she will not be able to see others well, and when the time comes, others will think that she is unforgiving.
Sure enough, after hearing what the aunt and nephew said, Baili Qingcang opened his mouth: "Ning Hua, I also know that you and Miss Lin are a little unhappy, but things have passed, and she has also improved, plus she will marry to Dayue Country after a while, and it is not good to have scars on her body." ”
Shen Ninghua stood up: "Father, it's just a matter of one sentence, it actually made Concubine Li and Miss Lin sad, but it's not mine." I was too busy with all kinds of things before, and I couldn't take care of all aspects, but I didn't think that Miss Lin still needed muscle-building cream, and when the banquet was over, I would send someone over to get it, Miss Lin, you should have told me what you needed earlier, otherwise how would I know. ”
Hearing this, many people thought about it in their hearts, they didn't think it just now, but now when they heard Princess Zhaohua's words, they felt that this Lin Feiyuan was too hypocritical, you didn't say that you need muscle cream, just crying here, do you want a princess to take the initiative to give it to you?
Looking at everyone's reaction, Concubine Li still had a smile on her face, but she was a little annoyed in her heart, originally she did a lot of play, but unfortunately Shen Ninghua dealt with it like she was a little overly knowledgeable, but it seemed that she was making a big fuss, and hurriedly opened the topic:
"Feiyuan, Princess Zhaohua is generous and doesn't care, there are so many people to witness today, you can't be too rude, in the past, I gave the princess a glass of wine, and the previous things should be regarded as a cloud of smoke, and we have to get along well in the future." When you marry into Dayue and stay away from your homeland, you will know that Da'an is your eternal home. ”
Concubine Li's words made Baili Qingcang happy in her heart: "What Concubine said is good. ”
Lin Feiyuan hurriedly asked someone to bring the wine cup over, and poured two glasses of wine with his own hands and brought them to Shen Ninghua: "Princess, this glass of wine is my apology, and I ask the princess to forgive me for my previous offense." ”
Shen Ninghua generously took the wine glass, raised his hand and drank it without hesitation: "I didn't care, it was Miss Lin who was too careful." ”
Lin Feiyuan's eyes widened slightly, looking at her movements in disbelief, didn't she suspect her of doing something in the wine? In her plan, she should have gone to toast, and then Shen Ninghua refused, and finally she came to a compromise and drank two glasses of wine to prove her innocence. Who knows, Shen Ninghua didn't hesitate at all.
"Isn't Miss Lin here to toast? Why don't you drink when I drink it? Isn't it out of your sincerity that you want to settle your old suspicions with me? ”
Lin Fei's face trembled, and he hurriedly raised his hand to drink the wine in the cup: "No, it's just that I just saw Princess Zhaohua's heroic posture drinking, and she looks like a heroine among women, and I just admire it in my heart." ”
Shen Ninghua glanced at her with a smile in her eyes. Lin Feiyuan's face turned red, she held back her anger and did not attack, and respectfully retreated to Concubine Li's side, but her eyes couldn't help but have a little tear in her eyes.
Baili Qingcang's eyes sank slightly, and he glanced at Lin Feiyuan, although she was the young lady of the Lin family, she was spoiled in the end, although her temperament had changed a little, she revealed a small family spirit everywhere, Shen Ninghua forgave her, she still came back with tears, is she giving people eye medicine?
Concubine Li saw that the emperor's expression was wrong, and she quickly glared at Lin Feiyuan, and was a little annoyed in her heart, after all, this is her birthday banquet, this child is just crying and pretending, and now he is still addicted? I don't know if you can't shed tears on a festive day?
was coldly swept away by Concubine Li, Lin Feiyuan's heart trembled, knowing that the acting had been acted, she hurriedly suppressed the tears and stood aside obediently. Concubine Li felt satisfied when she saw her performance.
"Your Majesty, look at it, the flowers in this royal garden are not as good as the color of Princess Zhaohua, it's really enviable."
Concubine Lan pinched the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and when she heard this, she smiled and cooperated: "Who said it wasn't, Princess Zhaohua's appearance is famous in the entire Da'an country, and the princess is so beautiful, and there is no way to pick the etiquette rules. ”
"Sister Concubine Lan will tell the truth, you told the truth, I can't find the right words to praise again."
Concubine Lan's smile became brighter and brighter: "Then the noble concubine has to forgive me, how can I bear not to boast when I see such a person with such a posture and appearance?" ”
Concubine Li hid her smile and said: "Your Majesty, hurry up and reward two plates of dates to Concubine Lan's sister, this little mouth is sweeter than smearing honey!" ”
Listening to the words of the two, Baili Qingcang finally had a smile on his face: "Come on, bring the snacks in front of me to Concubine Lan." ”
Concubine Lan hurriedly got up and thanked her: "Thank you, concubine, Your Majesty." ”
Shen Ninghua, who was at the center of the topic, had nothing from beginning to end, just sat in her place with an indifferent smile on her face, as if nothing could shake her. The other ladies and ladies who came to congratulate them on their birthdays were a little unhappy in their hearts, they were all from beautiful backgrounds, could it be that so many people couldn't compare to Shen Ninghua?
Baili Junyi sat opposite Shen Ninghua and raised his glass slightly at her, with a bright smile in his eyes. Shen Ninghua picked up the teacup and took a sip slightly, and saw the smile in his eyes that almost overflowed, and couldn't help but feel a lot happier: Concubine Li made an enemy for her, let her go to the tree, and there will be a time when she will be uncomfortable!
When it was time to offer a birthday gift, the prince took the lead in standing up: "Father, today is the birthday of the concubine, and the sons and daughters have prepared a small gift, and please don't dislike the concubine." ”
Concubine Li hurriedly got up and saluted, and looked at the prince with some surprise: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, but it is a ruin for the palace." ”
The smile on Baili Qingcang's face suddenly became a lot stiffer, the prince is the prince, even if the concubine is the first person in the harem, but she is only a concubine, except for the queen of the main palace, no one is worthy of the prince to please, he does this in itself with the majesty of the prince, especially in front of so many ladies and young ladies!
The crown prince didn't notice that Baili Qingcang's expression was wrong, after the death of the queen before, he had almost no sense of existence in the harem, and the officials who originally supported him gradually found another way, this time, he thought about it for a long time before he took advantage of the matter of Concubine Li.
The gifts given by the prince were extremely valuable, and there was even a huge red coral tree, which shone and radiated in the sunlight, and it was a rare treasure at first sight.
Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua glanced at each other, and they both had a smile in their hearts, the prince's move was not clever, but he inadvertently helped them a lot.
Looking at such a precious gift, the dissatisfaction in Baili Qingcang's heart became even heavier: "Okay, the prince retreats, let your other brothers give gifts!" ”
did not get the ideal praise, the prince's face was a little ugly, but he obediently stepped aside.
The gifts given by the second prince are nothing special, they are all some jewelry and porcelain that others often give, but they are half more than the usual calendar, and so many luxurious things are piled up together, which is a little dazzling.
Concubine Li was a little nervous, is this gift too expensive?
Baili Jinchuan had just made a mistake, and Baili Qingcang didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he directly waved him down and summoned the third prince up: "What gift did you prepare for the concubine?" ”
The three princes were in good spirits on happy occasions, looking at the glory of the mother concubine, they were also proud, and when they heard Baili Qingcang's question, they hurriedly asked people to bring the gifts up, and boxes of gifts were side by side, silk and satin, jewelry and jade, almost dazzling everyone's eyes.
Originally, Baili Qingcang handed over the third prince because he was not happy to see the crown prince and the second prince, but he didn't expect that after seeing the third prince, his heart was even more panicked, and the last trace of the smile on his face disappeared.
Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua had a tacit understanding to hide the smile in their eyes, this is not that they deliberately stumbled on Concubine Li, it is really Concubine Li's own son who is a cheat!
The smile on Concubine Li's face was almost unmaintainable, she was all focused on how to calculate Shen Ninghua, and she didn't specifically ask her son what gifts he had prepared, she thought they were measured, but she didn't expect to poke such a big basket, and this birthday gift was a little lighter than the one given to Baili Qingcang in previous years, right?
Baili Qingcang pulled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, he wanted to see what these sons were sending?
"Yes, the third prince really has a heart. Fourth, what about you? What gifts do you prepare? ”
Hearing Baili Qingcang's praise, the third prince retreated with great satisfaction, and the fourth prince hurriedly walked up, thinking that while Baili Qingcang was in a good mood, he also asked for a lottery: "Father, the gift given by the son to the mother concubine can be described as a unique one, come on, hurry up and bring my gift up." ”
The palace people carried two shelves covered with red cloth, and the four princes stepped forward to lift the red cloth, only to see an eight-fold jade screen appear, on which the screen was depicted with landscapes, trees, birds, birds and beasts, all of which were lifelike, and the value was no lower than the coral tree sent by the prince.
Only then did she lift the first red cloth, and Concubine Li couldn't sit still, as if she had a needle buried under her buttocks, and she couldn't sit still.
