Chapter 67: Framed by Bird Hairpin
After sitting down, the palace banquet cannot be said that there was singing and dancing, but there were many activities and the atmosphere was very lively.
The concubines in the palace spend all their time except paying respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress in the would be really boring if we didn't get together to talk, enjoy flowers, look for trouble, and join the gang.
Feng Xiaoer didn't want to say much, and didn't dare to say come from your mouth, so be careful with your words and deeds so that you can have a foothold in the harem.
What's more, she was not from the harem, and she said all these things as a joke. If these women spread rumors with added fuel and jealousy, and if they accidentally spread to the emperor's ears, it would be more than worth the loss.
Hearing these women's eyebrows and chirping, he took advantage of the chaos and asked Xiao Yao to bring her another young man was puzzled and asked his wife why she was still looking for a cup when she already had one.
Feng Xiaoer smiled: "Just be careful."
Feng Yunyun invited herself with good intentions and must have prepared many surprises for herself.
She turned around and ordered Mo Qili again, whispering a few words.
Mo Qili raised his eyebrows, although he was unwilling to be called around by her, but after all, she was a madam, and she had to obey chose a time when no one was paying attention, left the banquet, and didn't come back until a quarter of an hour later.
"Today's banquet is because my sister wants all of you ladies to meet my sister. Now that you have met my sister, you deserve a toast." Sure enough, Feng Yunyun couldn't hold it any longer.
Feng Xiaoer adhered to the posture of soldiers coming to block, and water coming and earth felt relieved when he saw Mo Qili behind him slightly nodding towards him.
"I am so lucky to meet you all today, so I should offer you a drink." Feng Xiaoer took the wine glass handed over by the maid Feng Yunyun politely.
Seeing that she was defenseless, Feng Yunyun raised a hidden smile on her lips.
"But, sister, you are indeed blessed. As the saying goes, the luminous cup of grape wine, I found an ancient recipe to make this grape wine. Today is exactly one month of fermentation. It doesn't taste spicy, but there is a faint mellow aroma of wine. Please Taste it!" Feng Yunyun smiled.
Xu Jieyu said loudly: "Feng Liangyuan is really thoughtful. Please drink it, ladies and gentlemen, the governor's wife..."
Feng Xiaoer nodded and looked down. The wine was pure in color, pitch black and purple, with a faint mellow aroma floating over it. It was indeed good wine.
But what I saw on my table were small persimmons from early autumn, fried sweet potatoes, bacon, fragrant meatballs with carrots and ginseng, and oysters wrapped in golden egg liquid... But I saw what was on other tables. Our meals don’t have these good things.
Even if there is, it's not the same ingredients as hers.
Others may think there is nothing strange about these things, but they cannot hide them from Feng Xiaoer's eyes.
When these things are combined with wine, the food will conflict with each other, which will cause poisoning reactions and damage to the internal serious cases, it can lead to direct death.
She drank it down boldly, and when everyone looked up, she secretly spit out the wine in the blink of an he pretended to be unsatisfied and wiped the wine stains around his mouth, praising the wine.
"Sister, don't just drink, eat something. Everyone is hungry, eat something quickly." Feng Yunyun was in a very happy mood.
While drinking and drinking, Feng Xiaoer felt a little tired and even more concubines were too drunk and left, and she also wanted to leave early.
Just when she was thinking about why to leave, Concubine Shu walked over and took her hand, as if she wanted to talk Xiaoer had been wary of Feng Yunyun with 12 points of vigilance, but he didn't have so much resistance when faced with Concubine Shu, whom he had never met before.
The empress said that she was drunk, so there was nothing wrong with asking Feng Xiaoer to accompany her for a walk.
I have to say that the scenery of the garden in the palace is really unique. There are many rare and exotic plants in pleasing styles. They are arranged and trimmed in a unique way.
"Your name is Feng Xiao'er?" Concubine Pan Shu's eyes rolled charmingly, and she continued with an approving tone, "The governor is usually a busy man and a eunuch, but he unexpectedly went out of his way to marry you in spite of the public disapproval. Look. Come on, he likes you, he really likes you."
Feng Xiaoer kept nodding slightly. This was the rule in the palace. You were not allowed to look directly into the eyes of a high-ranking she couldn't see Pan Shufei's eyes, nor could she see what kind of emotions were hidden in that tone of approval.
I just thought it was quite polite and replied: "I am lucky to have the governor's care."
For some reason, Pan Shufei suddenly burst into laughter and almost burst out laughing.
Even if Feng Xiaoer wanted to obey the rules, he had to look at her. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd. What was so funny about his words? "I'm fine, you don't need to be afraid. You are very destined to be with me today, and I want to give you a gift..." Pan Shufei's apricot-like eyes swept away, her lips were untouched, and her eyebrows were unpainted. And Hengcui is really charming.
Xu had given instructions in advance, and the palace maid next to her held a carved hollow jewelry box and slowly opened it in front of Concubine Pan.
Concubine Pan took out the contents.
Feng Xiaoer could see it whole body of the hairpin is made of shining gold, and the head of the hairpin is a pattern of a peacock spreading its peacock is lifelike and its eyes are focused!The tail is inlaid with pearls, which is really grand and delicate.
"Look, you still like this golden hairpin. This hairpin was given to me by my mother when I entered the palace. I have been keeping it for a long time, but now that I see it, it is more suitable for my wife."
Feng Xiaoer waved her hands quickly: "I am so virtuous and capable, it is really inappropriate for me to accept this precious gift."
Concubine Pan was unmoved. She walked towards her step by step, took Feng Xiaoer's hand and put the gold hairpin in her he held the remaining four fingers, forcing Feng Xiaoer to hold the gold hairpin tightly.
Concubine Pan Shu said gently: "I have a close relationship with the Governor. It is what I should do to make good friends with the Governor's wife. Just accept it without any worries!"
Hey, Feng Xiaoer really doesn't understand this operation.
Could it be that this governor has some involvement with the concubines in the harem?So Pan Shufei wants to be on good terms with herself? The power of Dongchang is really intricate!
After Feng Xiaoer took the gold hairpin away and thanked her, the maid next to Pan Shufei shouted in panic.
"Has anyone seen the golden bird hairpin of the empress?"
This sound quickly attracted the attention of others. Even the emperor who had just come out of Yangxin Hall and wanted to have a look at the harem banquet was alarmed! Pan Shufei's charming and gentle face immediately changed, turning into a face filled with indignation and unimaginable rage.
"Feng Xiao'er, you are so brave! You dare to steal in the palace!"
