This... this concubine of Prince Gong has never appeared in public, yet she is so eye-catching!
Many people were shocked and jealous at the same time.
The concubine Xie of Prince Gong also chose not to take any other route, but walked past Baili Feiyue with her maid. When she passed by her, she paused and said with a smile, "Doctor Ling, we meet again."
Baili Feiyue also smiled, "Madam, please take a seat over there."
This person was the first person to spend six thousand taels to see her for medical treatment. Of course, she was not looking for her for medical treatment, but for chatting with her. But in Baili Feiyue's opinion, people who spend six thousand taels to chat with others are also sick, and this illness is not in the body, but mostly in the heart.
But I didn't expect that this person would come today.
Soon after that, several princesses and concubines came to sit at Ling Yanran's table.
As expected of women who have entered the royal family, each of them has her own unique style in terms of appearance and dress.
The noble ladies from official families present were basically outshined. Even if they were more beautiful than others, they did not have the bearing of being married into the royal family. Besides, their clothes, fabrics, jewelry and other things were limited in specifications and were also inferior to others.
In an instant, many people were ready to fight again and were determined to join the royal family.
If they don't enter the palace, it would be an absolute honor to marry a prince, a prince or a grandson of the emperor. They are very confident. After all, the Jingtian family has many descendants. Although there are not many princesses, there are enough princes and princes.
From time to time, they glanced at the princess' side table with envy, but for Baili Feiyue, the future Regent Princess, although her status would be much higher than those princesses present once she entered the Regent's Palace.
But few people envy it.
After all, regardless of the Regent's character, just the fact that he is a eunuch is not something I would envy at all.
No one wants to just be a princess in name but be a widow all her life and be with a fake man.
So what if you are in a high position and have power?
Thus, in addition to the previous flattery towards Baili Feiyue as a doctor, there was also a bit more sympathy, or an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, in the eyes looked at her.
If the regent is perfect, Miss Ling will be too jealous.
Now, of course, they are not jealous of her.
It's strange that they were not jealous of her at all since she was married to the Regent, and even though the Regent showed up and helped her a few times later.
As the women were thinking about their own things, all sorts of exquisite dishes prepared by the palace were served one by one. The banquet was about to begin, and from the male guests who were far away from them, they could vaguely hear the voices of someone arriving from time to time, accompanied by the sound of a long list of gifts being read out.
There are not many female relatives here. After all, there are always more men than women who go out to visit others.
When the time came, the banquet was announced.
Outside the general's mansion, a long line of carriages came, at least forty or fifty of them!
Moreover, every carriage, whether it is the horses pulling the carriage or the materials used to load the carriage, is obviously of high quality.
The concierge of the general's mansion was quite knowledgeable. He was surprised to see that this long line of carriages obviously belonged to one person.
Soon, the first carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion. The driver put down the stool, and the man who came out of the carriage caught the attention of the people around him in an instant.
The man's face was like a sculpture, with distinct features and an angular face that was extremely handsome. He looked like a bohemian person, but the brilliance in his eyes made people dare not underestimate him.
Under the sword-like eyebrows are a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, full of passion, which can easily make people fall in love with them. The high nose and the lips of moderate thickness always seem to have a dazzling smile.
Before the people around him could turn their eyes away from the man, they saw him turn around and pick up a baby of four or five years old from the carriage.
The doll was wearing a blue brocade robe, with delicate features and a lovely appearance. It lay obediently on the man's shoulder, like a furry little animal. One look at it made one unable to stop wanting to pity it, and it melted people's hearts.
The little kid was very sensible and said in a baby voice, "Daddy, put Yuan'er down. Yuan'er can walk by himself."
The man put him down, took his hand, and walked to the gate of the mansion with the servant.
Although the concierge didn't know this person, there were all kinds of people who wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with the general's mansion. So after verifying the name card handed over by this person, he nodded politely like all the other guests he didn't know, "Mr. Zhan, please come in. The banquet is about to start at this time."
The man whose name was Zhan Xiuzhu on the name card nodded and smiled, then led his people into the mansion.
Although the banquet was about to start, there were still quite a few people arriving.
The servant who led the way led Zhan Xiuzhu to the male guests in the garden, and the servant brought by Zhan Xiuzhu presented a business card and a list of birthday gifts.
The servant who checked the name card saw that the man was not an official appointed by the imperial court, nor a well-known figure, so he led him to the other side.
At the same time, another servant in charge of the ceremony began to read the gift list.
However, when the servant opened the gift list, he was stunned for a moment, thinking he had read it wrong.
After taking a closer look, I realized that it was true!
At first glance, the number of birthday gifts on this long list is staggering, but they are all...
Trying to suppress his surprise, he spoke calmly, "Thirty pig trotters, fifteen pairs of pig ears..."
"Eighty kilograms of cucumbers, eighty kilograms of sweet potatoes, eighteen kilograms of dried mushrooms..."
"Ten big hens, ten fat geese..."
Although the male guests were seated in different areas according to their status, the sound of the gift list could be heard by almost everyone. This was a common practice at every banquet in every mansion.
However, no matter whether it was the area where the dignitaries sat over there, the ordinary gentry and celebrities over here, or the unknown people on the other side, they were all stunned.
Although these things are eaten by everyone on ordinary days, on this occasion, the gifts presented to others are calligraphy and paintings, antiques, rare treasures and stones, weapons and famous products by famous artists. At the very least, they are carefully selected birthday gifts worth hundreds of taels.
I was a little overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of such an incredibly unique and down-to-earth gift list.
Those court officials and local celebrities are okay, after all, they have status, or a certain degree of fame, and they are proud of their status.
Those who were of all walks of life could not help themselves when they heard the list of birthday gifts which was still being read and became more and more ridiculous.
You know, they tried their best to find the right treasure as a birthday gift, but they had never seen anything like this...
"Where did this country bumpkin come from? How dare he come to General Ling's birthday party with just these gifts?"
"Hahaha, you can't say that. Look at this gift list. It's been a while since I finished reading it. There must be at least a few big cars worth of it."
"It's a lot, but even trivial things are sent here. Is this person not coming to attend the birthday party, but to embarrass himself?"
"What's his name? I feel like I've never heard of such a person before."
