One, two, three... A group of strong men soon rushed into the originally empty and desolate palace walls.
And he was a strong man with a weapon.
The group covered their faces with black scarves, identified the direction, and then headed towards Yilan Hall.
At the same time, a group of people dressed in eunuch costumes walked out of the Empress Dowager's palace.
These people were holding various gifts in their hands and following the empress dowager's sedan chair, heading towards Yilan Hall.
At this time, in Yilan Hall, Concubine Hua had already arranged all the arrangements and sat in the main seat with Feng Yinzhen.
In the hall, all the concubines were seated. The only surprising thing was that Zhen Cai, the lowest-ranking official, actually had a seat at the banquet, and her position was close to the main seat.
After all, according to the rules of the Dayuan Dynasty, although the status of official women is higher than that of palace maids, the difference between them and palace maids is not much. They are generally not qualified to attend such banquets. Even if they do attend, they will not have a seat, let alone a seat near the main seat.
Zhen Qia's seating arrangement is indeed intriguing.
But no one was surprised. After all, although Zhen Cai was an official lady, she had been in close contact with Concubine Hua recently and had a deep relationship with her. Concubine Hua was also favored by the emperor, so these rules and etiquette could naturally be slightly changed.
The princes and ministers sitting in the guest seats were only slightly surprised. After exchanging glances, they calmly returned to their normal expressions.
But the ministers' wives were unaware of the true situation and could not help but ask in a low voice.
"That Zhenguan woman clearly doesn't have the rank to be one of the highest officials, so why is she sitting in the high seat, while these nobles and promises sit below her? Furthermore, I heard her father, Zhen Yuandao, is still in prison, so how come she's still getting away with it? Is this arrangement inappropriate?"
"Madam, you have never attended a palace banquet before, so you don't understand the intricacies involved. Please don't say too much."
"What is the mystery? Master, please tell me so that I can understand it."
"Although this court lady holds a low position, her face bears a striking resemblance to the long-deceased Empress Hunfang. Her future is immeasurable, so we cannot truly treat her as a lowly court lady."
"What……"
"She was originally promised a position, but after her father's accident, she was demoted to a court lady. I think this position was just for show. In reality, the Emperor must have loved her very much. Even the Imperial Concubine dared not neglect her and specially arranged a special position for her."
"So that's how it is. It seems this person is indeed not to be underestimated. I'll remember this."
The concubine nodded repeatedly and secretly made a decision that she must maintain a good relationship with Zhen Cai so that she could rely on her to help her husband make further progress in his career in the future.
These words were not spoken loudly and could not reach the ears of Feng Yinzhen and Concubine Hua who were sitting on the high platform, but they were heard clearly by Feng Yinli who was sitting not far away.
His face darkened and he felt indescribable anger in his heart.
My sister was his, but she was snatched away by Feng Yinzhen.
Cai'er was originally his, but now she is also Feng Yinzhen's.
Feng Yinzhen is always stealing his things!
Why?
Is it because Feng Yinzhen is the emperor? Because he is in a high position and has great power, he can take away all the good things?
Feng Yinli gritted his teeth, hatred surging in his eyes. He stared at Feng Yinzhen who was chatting and laughing with Concubine Hua on the stage. He clenched his fists and dug his nails into his palms.
He hated her so much that he completely forgot that Zhen Qia was not taken away by Feng Yinzhen at all. It was obvious that she turned to Feng Yinzhen after being ruthlessly abandoned by him.
Moreover, Zhen Cai was Feng Yinzhen's concubine from the very beginning. It was his younger brother who acted despicable and disregarded propriety and integrity and had an affair with his brother's concubine.
Feng Yinli's hatred grew stronger at this moment.
Not only women, but also the throne!
Why?
Just because he was older than him, all the good things fell into his pocket.
But Feng Yinzhen is not worthy of his position! He doesn't deserve so many good things!
If one's virtue does not match his position, there will be disaster. Feng Yinzhen, your disaster is me!
Feng Yinli clenched his fists even tighter.
Just at this moment, the wet nurse carried Feng Wanwan onto the platform. Feng Yinzhen stretched out his hand and actually held Feng Wanwan in his arms. He also took out the golden cup to play with Feng Wanwan.
Seeing Feng Yinzhen's doting face towards Feng Wanwan, Feng Yinli's resentment surged again, and those rumors about Feng Wanwan rushed to his mind.
It is rumored that Feng Yinzhen particularly loved this little girl, and after Nian Gengyao returned from a victorious battle, he also loved this little girl very much. The two even fought for the chance to hold this girl.
This little girl has such magical powers and has the blood of the Nian family. In the future, Feng Yinzhen might really make her the crown princess and succeed the throne.
A two or three month old baby actually has such terrifying abilities...
Can't stay!
Feng Yinli was determined: This little girl's life cannot be spared!
He was so focused on glaring at Feng Wanwan on the stage that he didn't notice his arm bumping into the cup on the table.
"when!"
The glass cup filled with wine fell on the white marble floor tiles, shattered with a clang, and the wine spread like blood.
shocking.
Everyone around was shocked and looked over.
Feng Yinzhen and Concubine Hua on the stage were also attracted by the noise and looked over.
Feng Yinzhen looked surprised.
"What happened to Seventeenth Brother?"
"But because my arrangements today were inadequate, the Seventeenth Prince was dissatisfied, so he threw the cup to vent his anger?"
Concubine Hua looked a little panicked.
He appeared panic-stricken, but his words contained deep meaning.
Even if the imperial concubine's arrangements were not very good, you, Feng Yinli, are just a prince. Why did you smash the cup in front of so many people?
What's more, the emperor didn't say anything about Concubine Hua's arrangement, but you, Feng Yinli, dared to be dissatisfied. Are you more powerful than the emperor?
More powerful than the emperor, do you want to rebel?
Feng Yinzhen frowned, his face showing dissatisfaction.
"Oh? So Seventeenth Brother smashed the cup because he was dissatisfied with me and the Imperial Concubine?"
The meaning of this statement is even more serious: You, Feng Yinli, are not only dissatisfied with the Imperial Concubine, but also with me, so you are older than me?
Everyone in the hall was smart and could hear the emperor and Concubine Hua's dissatisfaction and anger towards Feng Yinli.
For a moment, the hall was silent, and no one dared to stand up and speak for Feng Yinli.
Even Zhen Qia, whom Feng Yinli thought he had already mastered, seemed to be completely oblivious to the situation here. He just raised his glass and slowly sipped the red wine.
Feng Yinli was extremely embarrassed, his face flushed red, and his usually elegant and beautiful face was now full of panic.
"Brother, that's not what I meant. I'm not dissatisfied. I was just careless and bumped into the cup. You misunderstood me."
"Oh, Seventeenth Brother, you mean I'm too suspicious of you? In your eyes, I'm a suspicious, cruel, and fussy emperor."
Feng Yinzhen raised the corners of his lips in a faint smile.
Feng Yinli's body froze again.
