Concubine Li turned around and looked at Feng Zhuohua.
Having been favored by the King of Western Xia for many years, Concubine Li was naturally beautiful, but her beauty was different from that of Feng Zhuohua.
Feng Zhuohua's beauty is flamboyant, while Concubine Li's beauty is aloof. Over the years, her appearance seems to have never changed, just as it was when she entered the palace twenty years ago. No matter how many newcomers there are in the harem, none of them can compare to her.
Concubine Li got up from the low couch and walked to the table and sat down. Feng Zhuohua then sat down.
"You were delayed with your father?"
"yes."
Concubine Li glanced at the palace maids around her, and they all retreated tactfully.
When only Concubine Li and Feng Zhuohua were left in the palace, Concubine Li asked again, "How long do we have to wait this time?"
"Soon."
Concubine Li personally served Feng Zhuohua a bowl of bird's nest soup and placed it next to her: "Mother has waited for too long. I believe that you will never let Mother down."
A feeling of oppression and suffocation dissipated in Feng Zhuohua's heart. She picked up the bird's nest soup with a nonchalant look on her face and took a bite: "The bird's nest soup in my mother's palace is still the most delicious."
Hearing this, Concubine Li smiled, but Feng Zhuohua felt even colder...
When Su Chenyu and others were preparing to have lunch, Lord Ma finally arrived at Jinyanlou with his men.
As soon as he entered the lobby, Lord Ma discovered that all the people eating in the lobby were from Dayu. He looked around and quickly found Su Chenyu.
Lord Ma ran to Su Chenyu and asked, "You are Princess Fengyi of Dayu, right?"
Su Chenyu pretended not to notice the person standing next to her, and started discussing the dishes with Baili Yanqing: "I heard before that the duck at Jinyanlou is the best, I tried it today, and it seems to be just so-so."
Baili Yanqing muttered: "Maybe it's because I haven't tried it before, so my expectations were too high. When I finally tried it, I found it was just like this."
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Lord Ma's forehead. He was a smart man and of course knew what the two were talking about.
It's simply that they had always had high expectations for Xixia, but when they arrived there, they found that Xixia was not as they had imagined.
"Princess Fengyi, I was too busy before and didn't make it in time to greet you. I'm here right now as I have time."
Su Chenyu put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Lord Ma: "Are you the Minister of Rites?"
“Yes!” Those responsible for receiving envoys from various countries are usually people from the Ministry of Rites.
Su Chenyu smiled and said, "No wonder Xixia is so powerful. The people in the Ministry of Rites are so busy every day."
As soon as the words "busy with affairs of state" came out, Lord Ma immediately knelt down. He had not lived long enough, and he dared not use this word to describe himself: "Princess Fengyi, you are embarrassing me."
Su Chenyu continued to eat with her chopsticks without saying anything to Lord Ma.
Su Chenyu ate very slowly during this meal. When Lord Ma felt that he could not kneel any longer, Su Chenyu put down her chopsticks and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. It seemed that she had just seen Lord Ma kneeling on the ground. "This princess is really guilty. Lord Ma is not an official of Dayu. How can he let Lord Ma kneel before this princess?"
Lord Ma no longer looked down on Su Chenyu. Princess Fengyi was really amazing: "I have missed the time. I should kneel, kneel!"
"This princess is not an unreasonable person. I know that what happened today was not Lord Ma's original intention, so I have no intention of blaming him. Lord Ma, please stand up."
Seeing Lord Ma stand up, Su Chenyu continued, "Go tell your master that this princess is very comfortable living in Jinyan Tower and will not move to another place for the time being."
Hearing this, Lord Ma almost knelt down again, but was forcibly pulled by Baili Yanqing to stand firm: "Lord Ma, you are busy with official duties, and you also have to take care of your own body. If you kneel down all the time, you should see the imperial physician."
Lord Ma was about to shed tears. How come Princess Fengyi and her husband were so powerful?
Seeing Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing heading for the guest room upstairs, Lord Ma did not dare to persuade them anymore. He had to go to the palace first and report what happened here to the emperor before making any plans.
