[84] Assembly
As for Concubine Qi, she has yet to appear.
I saw a little palace daughter standing in the inner room, wearing a pink dress, tall and holding a comb, combing Concubine Qi's long black hair like a waterfall.
Underneath her hair is Concubine Qi's well-maintained face.
After combing her hair into a bun, she began to change her clothes. A pair of white plain hands slowly stretched out from the wide sleeves with gilt borders, and asked specifically: "Yinhuan, are all the ladies here almost here?"
The eldest palace maid Yin Huan folded her hands in front of her, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and replied respectfully and calmly: "Back to the concubine, only the female relatives from the Ninth Prince's Palace and the Seventh Prince's Palace have not arrived. Basically, all the noble ladies are here.
Already."
"Oh?" Qi Lan's eyes turned elsewhere, "Liu Qingyao is the Princess of North Vietnam. She should be the first to arrive at such an occasion. Why did she come so late this year?"
"Back to the Concubine, I heard that this year the Ninth Princess will be the protagonist attending the flower viewing event in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and Concubine Liu will only accompany her."
"What?" Qi Lan frowned and stood up, with a look of displeasure in his eyes. He thought for a while, but did not have an attack.
"Yinhuan, you don't have to attend the flower viewing today. Go check and see what little tricks Lao Qi's family is doing?"
Fu Mingyi, the Seventh Prince of Tianqi, has been a sick boy since he was a child. Qi Lan, who never took him seriously due to his weak body, accidentally found out that Fu Mingyi had been pretending to be ill all these years, but in fact he was restrained and ambitious.
The late emperor had just passed away, and when everyone supported Fu Jiuchen as emperor, it was he who brought back Fu Ningyuan, the son of the late empress, who had been exiled, and succeeded him as Emperor Tianqi.
He does these things secretly, and no one else knows, but Qi Lan's heart is like a mirror, Fu Mingyi will become a hidden danger in the political situation sooner or later.
It would be best if he could get rid of his son early.
"Yes, I obey." Yinhuan lowered his head and retreated.
As for Hua Xiangrong and Liu Qingyao, the female relatives of the Ninth Prince's Palace who have not arrived yet, it is actually Hua Xiangrong who does not want to enter the palace to participate in any flower viewing party.
She didn't talk about it after sleeping all night, and she kept talking about it for a long time. If Liu Qingyao hadn't said that if she didn't go, Concubine Qi would be punished, she would have wanted to leave again in the afternoon.
When she and Liu Qingyao arrived at the atrium of Zixia Palace, there were many people sitting or standing there.
Under the service of the maid, Liu Qingyao took off her cloak, revealing the bright red dress underneath. Matched with her makeup, she looked extremely coquettish.
As soon as the noble ladies saw them arriving, they all gathered around.
However, everyone came here to reminisce with Liu Qingyao, and no one cared about Hua Xiangrong behind her.
Su Qiaoqiao, the legitimate daughter of Taifu Su's family, praised Liu Qingyao: "Concubine Liu, your makeup is so beautiful today? It looks really beautiful with this dress of yours."
Li Yanyan from Li Taibao's family also followed suit and flattered her: "Yes, sister Liu, you are kind-hearted and you won the top spot last year. You must give way to us sisters this year?"
Liu Qingyao was proud of the spring breeze and smiled like a flower: "It's easy to say, Yanyan, Qiaoqiao, I will definitely let you order it when the time comes."
"Then thank you first, Sister Liu."
Hua Xiangrong, who was bored, sat alone at a small table and stared at the refreshments on the table.
