This old and cunning man usually seems to be wearing a human mask, and he can always hide all his emotions very well, but today, the dark and gloomy aura on his face is not hidden well enough. Feng Hongluan took a look at it.
Just saw it clearly.
Following the general's gaze, he looked at Gongsun Meiniang on the stage. There were many reasons why a man would lose his composure.
A cunning man who is very good at disguising himself can lose his temper for only one reason: someone messes with him.
This person must not be the Queen Mother, but the beautiful lady on stage!
Feng Hongluan looked at it calmly, and Xia Rongling's face was also very calm.
It was just a dance, and several lively performances were performed. At the end, as dusk gradually fell, the Queen Mother stood up and said to everyone: "Move to Suishou Hall."
A large group of people walked from the Liyuan to Suishou Hall.
The flower steps of the Suishou Hall are all made of white marble. On the steps are the Chinese character "Shou" with graceful and elegant brushwork. They are surrounded by carvings of fish and algae, wind patterns, lotus, flowers and birds, necklaces and other patterns, which are often used by concubines in the harem.
It is used by concubines, emperors, princes, princes and princes to celebrate their birthdays.
Whenever a birthday banquet is held in the Suishou Hall, all the officials will be entertained, and tonight is no exception. Rather than a birthday celebration for Hong Yan, it is more like a feast in the palace, inviting all the officials.
As soon as he entered, the emperor sat high on the rosewood chair with cloud, dragon and tiger patterns carved in the middle. The queen sat with him on his left hand, and Hong Yan, today's protagonist, sat on his right hand.
The surroundings were densely packed with palace maids and eunuchs. As soon as the Queen Mother appeared, the Queen automatically gave up her position close to the emperor to the Queen Mother, and she succumbed to him.
When the banquet was held, the atmosphere was harmonious, with people drinking and drinking, but everyone was restrained and it was not very lively.
It wasn't until the wine was half drunk that the dancers from the Liyuan Garden came up to add to the fun. With the music of silk and bamboo and the dancing clothes, the dinner was considered to be more enjoyable. Everyone talked in low voices, smiled, pushed glasses and exchanged cups. Feng Hongluan and Xia Rongling sat together and had a good time.
,Expect
Jian Xia Rongling toasted Feng Hongluan with a glass of wine and said: "Today's sword dance was really exciting. You and I are both martial arts practitioners. You should be able to tell that Gongsun Meiniang is a master.
.”
"You said Gongsun Meiniang has martial arts?"
"Isn't it?"
"Oh, right! But you and I can both see it, and the Queen Mother must also understand in her heart that although people in the palace are not allowed to possess martial arts, the Queen Mother has no objection, so we don't have to worry." Feng Hongluan sipped slightly.
After one sip of wine, I felt like
A look looked at her with some worry. She raised her head and met Hong Yan's frown. She chuckled lightly, took out a teapot from under the table and pointed at the wine glass. Hong Yan's frown relaxed.
Opening it up, there was a gentle smile in his eyes.
Xia Rongling followed Feng Hongluan's gaze and happened to meet Hong Yan's gentle and doting look. Just as she was about to say something about her gaze, she knew that it was not her gaze, but someone beside her suddenly stood up and said, "Look
It's really enviable to see King Jin and Princess Jin flirting with each other. They have such deep love as husband and wife, but it's your fault for arranging these two people so far apart."
The person who spoke was the old prince Qiang Wang. He didn’t speak very carefully. He said one thing and another. He was a straight-tempered person and he liked joking with his juniors the most. In ordinary times, Hongyan and his generation still respected this imperial uncle.
Yes, but today, when Hong Yan heard this, he looked a little unhappy.
What he hates most is that others involve him and Xia Rongling.
Suddenly, he thought of what he had promised Feng Hongluan. After thinking about it, he forced a smile and said politely, "Uncle Huang, I was joking."
"Ayou, my nephew has no special hobbies. He just likes beauties and calligraphy and painting. I heard that Miss Xia is good at painting and calligraphy. She serves everyone who comes and goes with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. She happens to be our Hong
Yan Shengchen, you must not express your feelings."
Xia Rongling's face turned red and she wanted to refuse, but she saw her brother Xia Ronfa suddenly stood up and said loudly and proudly: "My sister is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also good at poetry, poetry, and poetry. I am not the one who sells it."
He sells melons and boasts about himself. My sister has memorized the Four Books and Five Classics when she was three years old. When she was seven years old, she was able to copy peonies in fine brushwork, which were lifelike. At the age of eleven..."
"elder brother……"
Xia Rongling blushed shyly.
Xia Hui also pulled Xia Rongfa's sleeves, but stood up and cupped his hands to the Emperor and the Queen Mother: "Since it is the birthday of the prince, as the princess, it is natural to give something unique. Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Queen,
Please allow me to offer you a big gift on the spot. People say that the white horse picture painted by Qingyang layman is very precious, but only if you see the white horse picture drawn by my daughter, will you know what a real white horse galloping and lifelike is."
Some people were obviously intrigued, and the crowd echoed: "It just opens our eyes and horizons."
Feng Hongluan's expression was calm and emotionless, but after meeting Feng Cheng's worried eyes diagonally across from her, she smiled softly, without any sadness in her smile, to show her comfort.
No matter how much others made fun of the relationship between Hong Yan and Xia Rongling, she knew that Hong Yan belonged to her alone.
Fengcheng's worried eyes relaxed slightly after meeting her calm smile.
However, there was one person with a cold look in his eyes, looking at Feng Hongluan's face, full of ridicule.
Today's Feng Hongluan is like a forgotten clown. Those who want to please the general are all conforming to the general, and they praise Xia Rongling to the sky. The higher Xia Rongling's status, the more neglected one.
The concubine Feng Hongluan on the side is even more clownish and humble.
Han Huiqing took a sip of sake and whispered a few words to the man next to her. The man nodded, stood up, and said loudly: "The prince has a princess and a concubine as his companion. If he really wants to send a calligraphy treasure, if the two queens cooperate,
, isn’t that wonderful and of great significance!”
Finally, someone mentioned Feng Hongluan, but this was clearly not to tell everyone about the existence of Feng Concubine, but to deliberately embarrass her.
Feng Hongluan knew how stupid and stupid his reputation was outside. Since this person could make such a request, and the general had boasted to everyone before that Xia Ronling's paintings were as lifelike as those of Qingyang layman.
Knowing clearly that a person has a hundred thousand taels of silver hidden in his possession, asking Feng Hongluan, who only has five cents in his possession, to compete with her to see who has more money, is simply asking for humiliation.
