Feng Wanwan's full-moon ceremony is a big day, because today is not only the day for Feng Wanwan's full-moon ceremony, but also the ceremony for the promotion of Concubine Hua and the ceremony for Feng Wanwan's enthronement.
Feng Wanwan woke up early in the morning. Her wet nurse fed her and the palace maids changed her into a light yellow jacket with a pink skirt underneath. Because her hair had not grown long yet, she did not wear any decoration on her head. She only wore a gold locket around her neck, which made her look pink and cute.
And rich.
Feng Wanwan really liked this heavy gold locket. She held it in one hand while tightly holding a pearl bracelet in the other, her face full of satisfaction.
When the palace maid carried her into Concubine Hua's bedroom, Feng Wanwan saw her mother dressing up. Beside her sat a woman in royal blue clothes, holding a two or three-year-old girl in her arms.
There was another woman standing aside, holding a girl who was about four or five years old. Although they were all wearing festive colors, it was obvious that their clothes were old. The fabric looked rough and white because it had been washed too many times.
The two people stood aside, looking very reserved. They just stood there and didn't dare to speak.
On the contrary, the gorgeously dressed mother and daughter were all smiling and chatting with Hua Fei, their words and faces full of flattery.
"In terms of beauty, all the young girls in the capital combined cannot compare to one ten-thousandth of the Imperial Concubine, and yet, God has been particularly partial to the Imperial Concubine.
Other people's figures would change and their appearance would become tired after having children, but look at our imperial concubine. Not only has she not lost any weight, but I think she has gained more charm than before, and is even more dazzling and radiant like a pearl. She is truly enviable.
"I was originally plain-looking, and it's become even worse since I gave birth to Wen Yi. If it weren't for Wen Yi, Your Majesty wouldn't even go to Qixiang Palace."
"Lady Hua is the most beautiful woman in the entire palace, just like the most beautiful peony in the imperial garden. Wen Yi likes Lady Hua the most!"
The girl, who was about two or three years old, immediately responded with a crisp voice, like a silver bell, which was pleasant to hear.
But when Feng Wanwan heard the crisp sound, her small brows furrowed.
[Princess Wen Yi? So this woman is Concubine Cao, who was close to my mother?]
[This Concubine Cao is truly unattractive. Her attire is extravagant, but she doesn't look like a noblewoman at all. Her attire is almost as good as my mother's! These things, nine out of ten times, must have been obtained from my mother, right?]
At this moment, Feng Xunlu, who was standing next to Li Changzai, was suddenly startled by a series of baby voices. He subconsciously turned his head and looked around.
There are only two children in this palace at present, himself and Princess Wen Yi. This baby voice is obviously not Wen Yi's, and he himself is not speaking, so whose voice is this?
"Little Deer, what's wrong?"
Feng Xunlu's actions caught Li Changzai's attention, and she asked in a low voice.
Feng Xunlu immediately turned around, lowered his head and shook his head.
"fine."
Maybe she heard it wrong, and maybe there was no child talking just now.
Hua Fei had just finished applying lip rouge. The rouge was the latest color, bright and vivid, which made her beautiful face even more charming and attractive. Once you laid eyes on it, you couldn't take your eyes off it.
There is no woman who doesn't like to be praised, especially by children, which is more credible.
After all, children can't lie.
Hua Fei was of course happy. She stretched out her green and tender fingers and pinched Wen Yi's face. She took off the jade bracelet that was as clear as water from her wrist and put it on her wrist.
“Xiao Wenyi’s mouth is so sweet, Lady Hua gives you this.”
"Thank you, Madam Hua. Your fingers smell so good too!" The little girl narrowed her eyes with joy.
"Oh, how can this be done, Your Majesty, this bracelet is too valuable. Wen Yi is still young and doesn't deserve such a valuable bracelet. Please take it back quickly."
Seeing the jade bracelet with excellent water content, Concubine Cao's eyes lit up, and then she smiled and squinted her eyes, pretending that she was afraid to accept it.
Hua Fei laughed heartily.
"Wen Yi is too young to wear it, so you, as her mother, should wear it for her first. You can give it to her when she grows up. This is a gift from me to Wen Yi, and there is absolutely no reason to take it back. Hurry and keep it."
"Goddess Hua is not only beautiful but also generous. Wen Yi loves her so much! Mommy prays for her in front of the Bodhisattva every day. When Wen Yi grows up, she will also pray for her. I hope she will always be young and beautiful!"
Wen Yi's nostrils flared with excitement, and her words became even sweeter.
Hua Fei was of course even happier. She touched her face again and praised her with a smile.
"Wen Yi is such a filial and good child."
He looked at Concubine Cao again.
"You are also a thoughtful person. If Wen Yi hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you have done so much for me."
"Your Highness is kind to me, and I have no way to repay you, so I can only do these trivial things that are not worth mentioning.
It’s all Wen Yi’s fault. She kept saying it out loud to ask for a reward. This kid…”
Concubine Cao immediately stood up, knelt down and saluted, expressing her loyalty sincerely.
Hua Fei was even more moved and reached out to pull her up.
"You treat me with all your heart, and it's not unfair for me to help you and take care of you and your daughter. But we sisters should just sit down and talk. There's no need to greet each other all the time."
"I need to change my clothes. Please wait here for a while."
After saying that, Hua Fei turned and went into the inner room.
Concubine Cao hugged Wen Yi again and sat back on the stool. The humble respect on her face slowly faded away, replaced by arrogance.
