Chapter 48: Hou Fu Meets Old Rival for the First Time 3
In the hall, the dinner party was set. This feast is not a round table with a modern sitting, but two rows of long tables, one seat per person and a single seat in the middle, which is the head of the family.
One seat per person, one food per person, the same as when she was in the palace, Feng Feng thought darkly, this ancient was still quite hygienic meal distribution system, she was originally a little worried, tuberculosis is contagious, and now it is a meal distribution system, which will eliminate this danger.
Changle Hou sat in the middle, the first priority on the right was Feng Feng's seat, and the first place on the left was Mrs. Wang's seat, and these two seats were the most noble.
And Feng Zhaoyi's biological mother can only sit behind a few concubines, and behind her, there are lower-level concubines.
Feng Miaozhi sat next to her mother, she was a cold and tall girl, she had always looked down on this eldest sister who was known for her bewitching biological mother, and she was at odds with her. When he saw that she was sitting on the upper seat, he did not greet her, but only sat coldly in his place.
Feng Feng glanced at her a few times, and smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect that the relationship with his rival in love was so discordant in ancient times.
This real family banquet, Feng Feng really ate a lot of flavors. My father has seven concubines, big and small, and the other singers who warm the bed are still outside this number.
Madame Wang is the sister of the Queen Mother, from a famous family, with a prominent status, and is the authentic Marquise, the hostess here. She gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and her daughter is Feng Miaozhi, both of whom are adults and work outside.
And Feng Miaolian's biological mother Liu is the first concubine of the Hou Mansion, she has a humble identity, and later she is old and decrepit, and she is no longer favored, and only gave birth to a daughter Feng Miaolian, who is also the eldest daughter in the mansion. Fortunately, Feng Miaolian entered the palace to be Zhaoyi, and her status was finally improved.
The other concubines also gave birth, and after counting, there were twelve or thirteen children of Changle Hou, large and small, and only two daughters and a few younger sons attended today's banquet, and the two concubines were both serving outside the country and did not come back.
Liu was able to eat at the table because of his daughter, and looked at his daughter happily from time to time, and suddenly heard Changle Hou say: "Now that Miaolian has returned to the palace due to illness, the emperor has favored Cui Zhaoyi again, and the future days ......."
Seeing her husband's worried look, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Master don't worry too much, the Queen Mother has already made arrangements." ”
"But, how can Miao Lian's illness get better in a while?"
"Master, don't forget, our Feng family doesn't have only one daughter!"
Changle Hou heard the meaning of his wife's words, and hurriedly looked at Miaozhi, only to realize that this pampered little daughter was almost sixteen years old, and she was in her prime, and she was young and beautiful, and her demeanor was not inferior to Cui Zhaoyi. He was surprised and delighted: "What does the Queen Mother mean?" ”
"The emperor has been established in the past year, and there has been no queen. Now among the concubines in the palace, Chen Zhaoyi is not enough to honor the world, and the newly married Cui Zhaoyi is a Goryeo woman, and there is no reason to make a Goryeo woman the queen. Now Miaozhi has also grown up, she is the daughter of the Hou Mansion, the niece of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother means, wait for a while, let Miaozhi enter the palace as the queen. Originally, the Queen Mother liked Miaozhi back then, but Miaozhi was still young at the time, and now, Miaozhi has grown up, and it is a good time......"
There was immediately a burst of cheers at the dinner table, as if he had forgotten that there was an outdated "Niangniang" on the table who had just been kicked out of the palace due to illness!
Feng Feng was shocked, and when he looked at Feng Miaozhi, he saw that the expression on Miaozhi's face was still cold, occasionally showing a slight smile, and he was still quite reserved.
Although Feng Feng no longer wanted to enter the palace, at this moment, his heart was still a little sour, and he secretly said: I actually lost to my rival in love again, she was a queen at a young age, and poor Feng Miaolian went for so many years, and the means were exhausted to the point of getting tuberculosis, but she was only mixed with Zhaoyi, and she was also beaten into the cold palace in disguise and driven out of the palace.
Liu saw that the Hou Mansion was full of compliments on the future "Niangniang", but his daughter was already angry and no one cared about it anymore. She looked at her daughter, who was eating with her head down, looking at her pale and sick face, and looked at Changle Hou timidly: "Master, what should Miao Lian do?" ”
Changle Hou then remembered his eldest daughter, he has always doted on this smart and lively daughter since he was a child, seeing that she has fallen to the point where she is now, he couldn't help but shake his head, a little sad, and thought about it: "Miao Lian, you will go to the family temple tomorrow to recuperate, I will invite you the best doctor, and you must be cured." The emperor personally came to see you off this morning, as long as you are well, you will definitely have a chance to return to the palace. If Miaozhi enters the palace, you sisters can take care of each other in the future, and no one can bully you, so you can relax and recuperate......"
"Thank you, father."
Feng Feng nodded, but said in his heart, after recuperating from his illness and entering the palace, the "sisters" were both playing with the tyrant and cheap man? It seems that the monarchy is really "sacred", and the people of that era still felt flattered to marry two daughters to the same man. Alas, what a world!
