Concubine Li raised her eyebrows slowly: "I understand, Su Fang, come over."
Su Fang hurriedly stepped forward to help Concubine Li, and the three of them went to the Caiyun Pavilion in the southeast corner of the Imperial Garden. Sure enough, before they got close, they saw the Huashan Huahuan in the bright candlelight. The azaleas were in full bloom all over the entire place.
Caiyun Pavilion, with its layers upon layers, is like being in a fairyland, which is breathtaking.
After entering the Caiyun Pavilion and going up to the second floor, there were not only colorful flowers, but also many beauties, including the harem concubines and beauties, almost all of whom were in the fourth rank or above. The Queen's Fourth Concubine and Concubine Li were in the first-class seats.
After going upstairs, Concubine Li walked slowly and slowly toward the first-class seats.
Sitting next to Concubine Xian, Concubine Li smiled brightly: "I've kept everyone waiting for a long time."
Feng Hongluan, on the other hand, was placed on the table of an official lady not far away. By coincidence, the lady from the General's Mansion, Xia Rongling, was right opposite her.
Next to Xia Rongling was the Second Miss Wang from the Prime Minister's Palace on one side, and Princess Lianxin, the youngest daughter of the old Prince Su on the other. The Prime Minister's Palace and the General's Palace had always been at odds with each other, so the two rich ladies ignored each other. They only talked to the other person next to them.
chat.
After Feng Hongluan sat down, Xia Rongling glanced at her, and then gave her a distant smile.
Feng Hongluan smiled faintly. The relationship between the two fathers was not good, but Xia Rongling seemed to be very generous.
The banquet was held, and the palace maid came to announce that the emperor would be coming later, asking everyone not to lose interest, and to eat, drink and enjoy the entertainment. During the banquet, there were dancers performing, singers singing, strings and bamboos, cups and cups shining, and it was very lively.
Feng Hongluan's thoughts were not about drinking and having fun, admiring flowers and making friends. Instead, she had been looking forward to it, hoping to meet Long Yan. She sat at the window and could see below at a glance. She was half drunk and far away.
A team came over, and the leader was dressed in golden robes. Feng Hongluan was overjoyed, told everyone that he was going downstairs to sober up, and left his seat.
For He Jixiang's marriage, she naturally couldn't face so many people asking the emperor for permission. She needed an opportunity to meet the emperor alone. Now that the emperor was coming, she left the meeting in a hurry, and then went to the queue.
As I got closer, I felt a little uneasy, for fear that the emperor would not agree.
But she didn't expect that things would go unexpectedly smoothly.
When she boldly stopped the emperor and asked for He Jixiang's hand in marriage, the emperor in front of her just thought for a moment, helped her up with his own hands, looked her up and down, and there was a faint light in his eyes: "Such a beauty.
If you ask me for help, why should I not agree?"
"Your Majesty, Hongluan, thank you so much, Your Majesty." Feng Hongluan said as she was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by the Emperor's hand, "I like your dress today, especially for a young woman wearing green and pink."
Feng Hongluan smiled respectfully and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
"Come on, come up with me. We are busy with government affairs and have kept everyone waiting for a long time."
Feng Hongluan said hurriedly: "During the dinner, we exchanged glasses. Hongluan was slightly drunk. He wanted to go around and enjoy the flowers first to sober up."
The emperor gave Feng Hongluan a deep look: "Okay, Eunuch Mo, you can accompany me and serve Miss Feng."
Feng Hongluan was really flattered. Eunuch Mo was a celebrity around the emperor, the chief eunuch, and wore a flower feather on his head. The emperor was so loving that he let Eunuch Mo accompany him to sober up. How could Feng Hongluan bear such a huge favor from the emperor:
"Your Majesty, that's no need. I'm just a little drunk. It's not a problem. There's no need to..."
Before she could finish speaking, the emperor decisively raised his hand to stop her, and then strode to Caiyun Pavilion, leaving only Eunuch Mo and Feng Hongluan.
How dare you let Eunuch Mo serve you? He wears a flower feather on his third rank and is only one rank lower than his father. If we talk about seniority, Eunuch Mo has served emperors in three dynasties and is now the emperor's confidant. How can Feng Hongluan be so lucky?
The father-in-law's service is to be busy.
"Eunuch, I'll just walk around and don't bother you. You can go and serve the emperor."
Eunuch Mo had already walked over with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to signal Feng Hongluan to take his hand and help him.
Feng Hongluan was quite embarrassed, but she heard Mo Gonggong say: "Miss Feng, you don't want to embarrass me anymore."
Feng Hongluan could only let go of Eunuch Mo's hand, but she said politely: "Thank you."
It felt comfortable to be supported by a third-grade official for a walk, and Feng Hongluan just walked around for a while, saying that he could not wait for too long and had to go back in a hurry.
When we returned, people in the house were dancing in neon clothes. Eunuch Mo insisted on helping Feng Hongluan go upstairs, which really embarrassed Feng Hongluan.
I deliberately pretended to be drunk and wanted to take a walk, but I just wanted to stagger the time when I came in with the emperor, so as not to be left gossiping.
But now, being helped up by Eunuch Mo, she still became the place where everyone's attention gathered. This was even more ambiguous than coming up behind the emperor.
No, as soon as I sat down, I heard the gossip.
"I just asked why Eunuch Mo didn't follow the emperor today. It turns out he was serving the new master."
Feng Hongluan's face looked a little unhappy, and she said to a princess who was chatting beside her: "Eunuch Mo's masters have always been emperors, from Emperor Hongwen to the late Emperor Hongjing, and then to the current emperor. Princess, beware of trouble.
Speaking from the mouth, in such a happy day, seeing a bit of blood would be a disgrace to the scenery."
Feng Hongluan made it clear in what she said. Eunuch Mo only has one master, and that is the emperor. If someone wants to mock her as the "new master" with cold words, they are clearly saying that she wants to seize the throne. This kind of charge of arbitrary deductions is the crime of beheading.
, irreversible.
A certain princess over there who was gossiping suddenly had her mouth blocked, her face turned pale, and she couldn't refute a word.
Feng Hongluan sneered and lowered her head to drink and eat. However, she didn't expect Xia Rongling, who was opposite her, to say something unhurriedly.
"Miss Feng, Eunuch Mo is just a slave. Every concubine in this harem is Eunuch Mo's master."
After saying this, Feng Hongluan's face tightened.
And the princess who was speechless by her at first became more enthusiastic: "Who says otherwise? How dare Eunuch Mo deny that the Queen is not his master, Concubine Li is not his master, Concubine De, Concubine Xian, Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu are not
His master, even if he is the queen mother, concubine, or concubine, none of them is his master."
