"My lord, please see the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine is a thousand years old! A thousand years old! The Imperial Concubine is a thousand years old!" The two sisters said in unison.
Sitting next to the Queen Mother's left hand is Concubine Shu, because the Queen usually doesn't come.
"Okay, okay!" The concubine was very happy. The two sisters were very proud today, so the concubine's voice became a little softer. "Get up quickly and come sit next to me!"
Feng Dai'er was stunned, and then she had to stand up and move two positions outside. It turned out that she had been occupying the first position on the right side of the concubine because of her relationship with Concubine Shu.
Yan Qingzheng didn't care about Feng Dai'er's mood. She pushed Yan Shuangyu to the front next to the concubine and sat next to her.
The concubine was also very curious about Yan Shuangyu, so she also took Yan Shuangyu's hand and looked at it carefully.
"Oh my, you are such a beauty. No wonder your parents hide you so tightly!" The concubine was naturally shocked when she took a closer look.
Although Yan Shuangyu is young and has outstanding appearance, she is very calm and calm. She has such a good attitude when meeting the concubine for the first time, which shows that she is definitely not a petty person. This is completely different from what they had always guessed!
After all, Yan Shuangyu's parents are notoriously sentimental. It is said that all four daughters are prone to tears and are very sensitive.
"Thank you for the compliment, Madam." Yan Shuangyu said gently.
"Oh, isn't it? I've never seen Miss Yan Liu go out to socialize. There are a lot of rumors. Let me tell you, Miss Yan Liu should have gone out and walked around a long time ago, so the rumors are not wrong." Shu.
The concubine said bitterly that she was a little dissatisfied with her niece being replaced.
"My daughter has little talent and little knowledge, and is afraid of showing her cowardice, so she rarely goes out and about." Yan Shuangyu said modestly.
"It doesn't matter if you have little talent or little knowledge. It's a virtue for a woman to have no talent! Besides, you and my niece Dai'er are best friends. If you can't help it, there's nothing wrong with asking her for advice!"
Concubine Shu felt that she had finally found a place that could highlight her niece's advantages, so she said quickly, but she didn't see her niece blushing instantly.
Feng Dai'er is the only noblewoman in the capital who has contact with Yan Shuangyu, so anyone who is curious will ask her about it. At first, she didn't know the depth and thought she was a talented girl. Unexpectedly, after a few rounds, she was impressed by Yan Shuangyu's talents.
Crushed to perfection.
In order to save face and the reputation of the talented woman who had already been boasted about, she had no choice but to vaguely hint to others that Yan Shuangyu had no real talent or learning.
She didn't want to think about it, no matter what, Yan Shuangyu was born in the Grand Master's Mansion, so no matter how talented she was, she wouldn't be far behind.
I thought that Yan Shuangyu would never attend such a banquet in her life, and no one would expose her lies. Who would have thought that she would actually come to the concubine's flower-viewing banquet, which was equivalent to slapping her in the face in front of all the noble ladies in the city!
Yan Shuangyu was also stunned. She glanced at Feng Dai'er in slight surprise and hesitated in her heart. Could it be that Feng Dai'er had hidden her clumsiness in front of her before?
Thinking that this was the case, he lowered his head and said, "That's what Concubine Shu said."
Concubine Shu felt even more proud when she saw it, and said: "You are from the Grand Master's Palace after all. Even if you don't have talent, you still need to know some common sense, such as..."
Feng Dai'er glanced at Concubine Shu with a slight complaint, rolled her eyes, and then Yingying interjected: "Concubine Shu, sister Shuang'er is new here. She hasn't had a sip of tea or admired a single flower. Why?
I’ve been asked to learn more! You’re too impatient!”
Concubine Shu paused and looked at Feng Dai'er, thinking to herself, I'm here to make a face for you. What do you mean? Do you really believe that there is any kind of sisterly love in this world?
However, she still followed her niece's words and said with a smile: "Hey! Isn't this a rare occasion to see Miss Yan's sixth daughter!"
The concubine was noncommittal. She was able to become a concubine and still thrive in the palace. Of course, Concubine De was not a fool. The eye contact between Concubine Shu and Feng Daier instantly made her guess the truth.
Eighty-nine points.
"Okay, this flower viewing banquet is purely for the girls to relax, not to show off their talents..." I didn't want to get involved, but this year the Yan family was too generous, and the two girls who were waiting for marriage came to the banquet.
, she felt that Bei'er was respectable, so she spoke out, which was considered as a way for Concubine Shu to study Yan Shuangyu.
Feng Daier breathed a sigh of relief.
The concubine spent the next moment casting her eyes around the Yan sisters, asking about this and chatting about that.
Yan Qing was preoccupied with two things and was still paying attention to the two places where the medicinal powder was hidden in the flower hall to see who passed by there.
After a while, when everyone was about to arrive, the concubine began to introduce the various varieties of flowers placed around.
All of a sudden, the whole flower hall was filled with orioles and swallows, and they walked clockwise around the curved bridge of the flower hall to admire the flowers carefully planted by the concubine herself and the rare varieties donated by caring people.
Feng Dai'er's maid walked past a vase that was half a person tall. She walked slowly and glanced at her young lady quietly, but Feng Dai'er bit her lower lip and couldn't make up her mind. After a while, she nodded slightly, and the maid
When no one was paying attention, he quietly retreated to the edge of the vase, quickly reached in and groped for it, and then quickly retracted his hand, clutching a paper bag.
The interior of the vase is large and deep. The palace lady who hid the medicine powder used something sticky to stick the medicine powder package to the inner wall of the vase.
Yan Qingzheng narrowed his eyes slightly and curved the corners of his mouth slightly.
The concubine took Yan Shuangyu's hand and introduced her to the flowers in front of her.
"You didn't come here in the past years, so they might be tired of seeing these flowers," the concubine smiled heartily, "but because I personally served them, they have some feelings for them, so they put them out every year."
"My Majesty is also very skilled in craftsmanship, and she can put it on display every year." Yan Shuangyu smiled softly, and the implication was that even if the concubine personally served it, if it didn't look good, it would be embarrassing to put it on display. Now since every year
It's clearly shown that it's really good.
These pots placed in the flower hall can be seen to have been carefully cultivated and trimmed very elegantly.
"Haha... Sixth Girl really has a clever mouth!" The concubine was very impressed. It seemed that compared to the compliments of other noble ladies, Yan Shuangyu's angle made the concubine feel more sincere.
After saying that, he didn't greet anyone else and just pulled Yan Shuangyu forward.
Concubine Shu fell a few steps behind and walked with her niece.
"What flowers and plants are difficult to grow? Water them with water, fertilize them, and see the sun again. Is there anything that can't grow well?" Concubine Shu murmured in a low voice.
Feng Daier was speechless. Even though she was not the most talented woman in the capital, she was still more knowledgeable than Concubine Shu. She had no choice but to remain silent when she heard this. She was still hesitating in her heart. She approached Yan Shuangyu with a goal in mind.
Now that she has favored the concubine, it does not mean that she has stolen her limelight. After all, the concubine has always been lukewarm towards her. She just lets her sit at the head table every year for the sake of concubine Shu.
.
What she really cared about was Yan Shuangyu's destiny.
As long as any woman in the world has a dream of being a queen, no one can help but mind Yan Shuangyu.
She thought to herself that as long as the prince didn't show any special feelings toward Yan Shuangyu, she... would still cherish this friend who never stole the limelight from her.
"Miss..." The maid came up and pulled her gently. Feng Daier shook her head slowly and said, "Look again."
According to custom, the prince would come here on behalf of the queen to give the concubine some face.
In fact, this is a tacit understanding that no one needs to express in words. The concubine's original intention is to create an opportunity for the prince to get in touch with the noble ladies of the capital.
Sure enough, after everyone had looked around for half a circle, the waiter started shouting from a distance.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
There was a lot of noise until the prince entered the flower hall.
The prince bowed to the concubine and accepted the worship of many noble ladies. Then he waved his hand: "Ladies, please excuse me. I am also here on behalf of my mother."
For a moment, the scene became a little more reserved, and the people who were originally out of touch now became more reserved. Everyone would focus on the prince, intentionally or unintentionally, where he sat, what tea he drank, and what snacks he ate.
Which pot of flowers he admired... and most importantly, which girl he talked to.
"The prince came earlier this year!" Concubine Shu hurriedly sat down next to the prince, and at the same time pulled Feng Dai'er to sit down with her, "This is my niece, Feng Dai'er, you should remember it!"
"Concubine Shu introduces her to me every year. In fact, I have already remembered her." The prince bowed gracefully and said, "Miss Feng is a famous and talented woman."
Feng Daier's heart was filled with confusion. Although she had met the prince for several years, the more mature the prince became, the more dazzling she was in her heart. She blushed and completely forgot about others, only her eyes were filled with affection.
He looked at the prince and whispered: "His Royal Highness is too praised. My daughter just likes to read some poems and books. On the contrary, His Highness is knowledgeable, talented, handsome and handsome!"
The prince smiled brightly: "Thank you, Miss Feng, for the compliment."
The prince actually thought so too, he felt that he was already good enough.
Over the past few years, he has become a little tired of seeing all these warblers. He came here earlier this time just because he heard that the two daughters of the Yan family were here!
In his impression, the Yan family's Xiaoqi was still so timid. He had seen her a few days ago, but he didn't see clearly what she looked like now. When she was only six years old, she was already...well...quite cute.
However, this time the prince's focus is on Yan Shuangyu.
He happened to have met Yan Qing two or three times, but he had never met Yan Shuangyu, who was truly destined to be a princess. It is said that she is here today!
The prince was a little distracted as he spoke, not knowing which of these women was Yan Shuangyu.
The prince's eyes wandered, and the hearts of the girls also jumped up and down.
It wasn't until the prince noticed that the Yan sisters were dressed differently from others that he locked eyes on the two sisters.
The flower hall is not big, but luckily the two sisters are backlit, so the prince can only see a rough outline.
He couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and walked towards the concubine.
"These pots of flowers you have are treasures, they bloom so beautifully every year!" the prince said as he walked, pointing to the flowers cultivated by the concubine around him, and said with a smile: "It shows that your craftsmanship is really good."
The concubine raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and couldn't help but cast a meaningful glance at Yan Shuangyu, who immediately lowered her head and took a step back after hearing the prince's voice.
"What a coincidence, the sixth girl also meant the same thing today," the concubine said with a smile, "it seems that you two are telling the truth, or else you just agreed to make me happy."
