Chapter 9: The Queen's Birthday Banquet 3
The bead curtain is slightly rolled and leans against the building without speaking, and the evening breeze is scented with the brain.
Feng Zhaoyi's bedroom was filled with a faint aroma and a slight smoke. She fell asleep, and it seemed that Li Jieyu's medicine had indeed worked. According to what Li Jieyu said, as long as Feng Zhaoyi takes half a year of calming the mind, she will get rid of the invasion of nightmares.
In order to prove that she had never harmed Concubine Jin and always cared about Feng Zhaoyi's misunderstanding of her, Li Jieyu was willing to do things for Feng Zhaoyi, and she also wanted to help Feng Zhaoyi's son Rong Ruixuan become the crown prince, which was really rare.
In the middle of the night, a chill hit me, and I couldn't help but shiver, it's already early autumn! It's only a month before the reunion festival, but I don't dare to think about that day.
At noon the next day, Feng Zhaoyi summoned me over and said that I had something to discuss. As soon as Xiyun and I stepped into the main hall, we saw a sparkling jade Guanyin of Baguio on the table in the center of the hall. Look, that's a lot of value! Feng Zhaoyi's Zichen Palace had never had these things, just because she said that she only trusted herself, and when would she believe in these bodhisattvas.
Looking at the doubts on my and Xiyun's faces, Feng Zhaoyi smiled and said, "This jade jade Guanyin was given to the queen as a birthday gift, what do you think!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, "Niangniang wants to give this jade Guanyin to the queen mother as a birthday gift?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiyun and Xianghan widened their eyes.
Feng Zhaoyi snorted a few times, "This palace has never given the queen any birthday gifts, but this year this palace decided to give her a jade Guanyin. Looking at Feng Zhaoyi, there was a bit of a sinister smile, presumably this Jade Guanyin had a different meaning!
"Why did Niangniang think of giving the queen a statue of Guanyin this year." Xiang Han tilted his head and looked at Feng Zhaoyi, not only her, but Xiyun and I still didn't know the intention of sending this Guanyin.
"Haha......" Feng Zhaoyi sneered, her voice wandering back and forth throughout the hall, and the three of us were coldly confined at the same time. The queen once gave the palace a Guanyin, and now the palace has returned her a jade Guanyin, and the gifts are still exchanged, which is really interesting, haha...... "I glanced at Xiyun, but I still didn't understand what Feng Zhaoyi's words meant.
Xiyun and I carried the Jade Guanyin into the inner hall and sent it to the Qifeng Palace on the birthday of Empress Mu. "The queen's birthday is on the fifth day of the eighth month, and when the time comes, the queen will hold a banquet in Qifeng Palace to entertain the harem and the families of the court ministers." After placing the jade statue, Xiyun spoke to me.
"The queen's birthday should naturally be celebrated, after all, she is the mother of the country." I buried my head in reply.
Xiyun was stunned for a moment, "Of course you didn't know a lot of things when you only entered the palace this year. As soon as she said that, I raised my eyes and stared at her, "What do you mean?" ”
Xiyun pursed her cherry red lips, "According to the custom, on the birthday of the queen mother, all the harems will go to congratulate, including the family members of the court ministers, but everyone knows that Feng Zhaoyi never goes." This time the mother went suddenly, what is not good, it is really strange to send a jade Guanyin. ”
I patted her on the shoulder, "Whatever you want, you can give it!" We slaves and maids still don't talk much, just listen to her instructions, and the mother has her own ideas. ”
Xiyun stuck out her tongue cutely, "I just think it's a little strange, of course we can't guess Feng Zhaoyi's thoughts, anyway, on the queen's birthday, we will send this jade Guanyin to Qifeng Palace." ”
I shook my head, "You! It's just that there are a lot of suspicions. ”
