As the singing and dancing girl started the show, Baili Feiyue realized that many people present were breathing a sigh of relief.
Obviously he is not afraid of the emperor.
The emperor is still here, it's too early to breathe a sigh of relief.
Even Ling Yanran beside her breathed a sigh of relief.
What are you afraid of?
"The banquet has begun. It seems that the Regent... the Regent will not come."
"I saw him enter the palace just now, but I was scared to death..."
The faint sound of conversation from next door reached Baili Feiyue's ears, which immediately made her raise her eyebrows. It turned out that Changsun Wuji came. No wonder!
Glancing at the people who were eating, drinking, watching the performances and chatting happily, if Changsun Wuji had really come to this banquet, I'm afraid no one would be able to laugh.
However, Changsun Wuji has become less and less like the rumors recently.
Appearing more and more frequently.
When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on…
But it's hard to say. Changsun Wuji is a monster in himself, and we can't use common sense and ordinary people's thinking to speculate.
Baili Feiyue looked at the group of women dancing in front of her, and a hint of boredom flashed in her eyes. That was how the palace banquet was.
The concubines above her began to send birthday gifts to Concubine Hui.
Concubine Shu presented the prepared gift and smiled at the ascended Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, look at my sister. She didn't even glance at the gift I gave her. Now that she has a daughter-in-law she likes, she doesn't care about anything else."
Emperor Jing said cheerfully, "Look at your mouth."
Concubine Shu said coquettishly, "That's right. But sister is also lucky, Miss Ling is really charming. Look, not only Miss Ling, but also the ladies in the Ling Mansion are all outstanding. Huh?"
As if she suddenly saw something uncertain, Concubine Shu, who finally led the topic to the direction she wanted, pretended to be surprised and said, "The person sitting in the position of the head lady of the Ling Mansion doesn't seem to be Madam Ling..."
Concubine Hui glanced at her and said with a faint smile, "The general's wife is in poor health and needs to rest. This is the concubine of the Ling Mansion who is temporarily in charge of the internal affairs."
"Oh, I see. I heard that the general's wife has been in poor health for a long time. It's better to rest and recuperate, as long as she can recover. Oh, look at this concubine, she is worthy of being from the general's mansion, she is calm and composed, and you can tell at a glance that she is capable!"
Concubine Shu did not deliberately lower her voice. Besides, although Emperor Jing was casual, who could really shout loudly and let go?
Basically, they talked in low voices at most, and ate and watched the singing and dancing in relative silence.
Everyone in the Ling Mansion who was nearby could hear what Concubine Shu said clearly.
Baili Feiyue chuckled in her heart.
Liu's fingers under her sleeves were shaking with excitement!
The concubine above was still saying, "Your Majesty, I suddenly have a good suggestion. Your Majesty, this concubine in the general's mansion is an outstanding one. Now that she is temporarily handling the internal affairs of the general's mansion, why not just raise her to be a co-wife, wouldn't that be good?"
Concubine Hui looked at her with a sharp look, and Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Why? Sister, you think it's not good? Sister, I think this is a really good idea. Think about it, the general's wife is in poor health and can't take care of everything, so your future daughter-in-law didn't know about such an important event as your birthday banquet until the end. It's not good to let a concubine manage this huge general's mansion all the time, right? What do others say, sister, don't you think? Raising her to a co-wife is legitimate and has the best of both worlds?"
Liu below was so excited that she was about to faint!
She never expected that she could catch the eye of this Concubine Shu, and she even suggested making her her co-wife!
Ling Yanran, who was standing next to her, almost couldn't hold the pastry steadily.
Even though Liu was someone who helped them, she was just a concubine, a dog raised by Ling Ruolan, the second sister.
How can I be on an equal footing with my mother!
Where will they put their faces from now on!
It's so embarrassing that it's dropped on the ground and can't be picked up!
Emperor Jing seemed to be in deep thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's good! Let's do it!" He looked at Concubine Hui, "Susu, what do you think?"
We have already agreed and decided to do this, so why ask her?
Concubine Hui beside him forced a smile and said, "Since His Majesty has said it is good, of course it is good. Liu, why don't you step forward and thank him."
Liu hurried out, kowtowed and expressed gratitude.
Ling Yanran looked at her with a cold and stern gaze. Even Ling Ruolan, who looked like a fairy and extremely cold, looked at Liu a few more times.
Baili Feiyue took a sip of tea contentedly, haha, wonderful!
It will be even more exciting in the future!
She likes it!
Just as the young ladies were presenting birthday gifts and performing their talents, the court officials arrived.
After the greetings, Baili Feiyue saw Ling Sheng sitting at the front row of the court officials' seats, Prime Minister Shangguan sitting opposite Ling Sheng, and Shangguan Xun sitting behind Prime Minister Shangguan.
Just a casual glance, Shangguan Xun happened to look over, and when his dark eyes fell on Baili Feiyue, a barely perceptible ripple and surprise flashed across his face.
Baili Feiyue knew that she had to rely on Concubine Hui's clothes today.
He curled his lips indifferently and looked away.
Ling Yanran gnashed her teeth and whispered, "A lowly person is a lowly person. She has a fiancé but she's still flirting with other people."
"Oh, I don't even want anyone who can be seduced away." Baili Feiyue retorted with a hint of meaning, "Only the fifth sister is treated as a treasure, that's all."
"Ling Jing, who do you think you are? Brother Xun won't be interested in you anymore!"
"Hey, even if Shangguan Xun climbs up and licks my feet now, I'd still find them disgusting because you used them."
"you……"
Baili Feiyue blinked and asked innocently, "What about me?"
Although Miss Ling and Liu could hear their exchange, they knew it clearly in their hearts, so the Ling family just pretended to be harmonious on the surface, just for show. Everyone knew what kind of people they were, so they pretended not to hear it.
Others thought that the two were chatting and laughing happily, and that they had a very good sisterly relationship.
At this moment, a young lady from an official family who was dancing to celebrate a birthday finished her performance on the stage.
The eunuch who was in charge of recording beside him said in a sharp voice, "Next, the daughter of the Si family, Miss Si Lei, will sing a song "Longing" to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Hui!"
Baili Feiyue stopped arguing with Ling Yanran. After taking a look, she had to admit that although Si Lei's personality was annoying, she looked decent. With this attire and holding a zither on stage, she was quite attractive.
Sure enough, many young masters from aristocratic families stared with wide eyes.
Si Lei didn't say much. After bowing to Emperor Jing and the others, she sat down and began to play the piano.
Although his piano skills may not be top-notch, his piano playing is so penetrating that it touches everyone's heart.
Baili Feiyue spoke objectively and said that the Sileiqin was played really well.
Just as Emperor Jing's eyes showed approval and the whole audience was listening to the piano.
Sudden.
"Bang--"
A broken note shook the whole audience, the music came to an abrupt end, and Si Lei on the stage fell down.
He vomited a mouthful of blood, which splattered onto the snow-white shag carpet on the table.
"Lei'er!" Mrs. Si in the audience screamed in panic.
Over there, Si Lei's father, Si Duwei, was also startled and stood up hurriedly, "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Jing was also shocked by this sudden incident and waved his hand, "Call the imperial physician!"
