The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was held in the imperial garden of the palace. As autumn gradually approached, the autumn flowers were in bud, and the gorgeous summer flowers were still in full bloom.
Enjoy the flowers, people and food.
Ni Yueshan followed behind Ni Gaofei, and behind Ni Yueshan followed Ni Yueshuang!
Ni Yueshan had no interest in the palace banquet, but Ni Yueshuang wished she could live in it for the rest of her life.
"As a maid, you should behave like a maid. You should be able to observe your eyes and nose and your nose and heart. You are looking around. Do you want to harm me, or do you want to harm the entire Ni family?"
Ni Yueshan walked forward without looking around, but the words he said were meant to teach Ni Yueshuang a lesson.
Ni Yueshuang looked unhappy, but knowing that she was just dressed as a maid, she did not get angry in the end.
Everyone present was seated according to their seats, with men and women separated and sitting far away. Ni Yueshan, as the daughter of the prime minister, had a noble status and her seat was second only to the royal women. She wore a veil and was always particularly eye-catching among the women.
"Is this the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family?" A palace maid came forward and asked Ni Yueshan.
Ni Yueshan responded: "Yes."
Naturally, Ni Yueshan knew that the maidservant in front of him was dressed like a palace maid, so he had to pay attention to her.
"Then please follow me, my lady. The Imperial Concubine wishes to see you."
Although she politely made a gesture of invitation, Ni Yueshan did not see any respect in her eyes.
Ni Yueshan stood up and asked, "Imperial Concubine?"
After these days of getting to know each other, she knew that the Imperial Noble Consort's son was the Fourth Prince and her daughter was the Eldest Princess. Their status was second only to that of the Empress, and they were deeply favored by the Emperor, and enjoyed a much more glorious status than the Empress.
After all, the queen's son died young, and she never got pregnant again. In the end, she raised the second prince who had no mother by her side, and finally she had a son and had a support for the future.
She couldn't afford to offend the second prince Jing Yuchen and the fourth prince Jing Chengzhi, but because of Zou Yangyao, she offended both of them.
Ni Yueshan lowered her head. Ni Yueshuang wanted to follow, but the palace maid reminded her, "The Imperial Concubine said that only Miss Ni can be seen!"
Don't follow a maid...
The maids are not allowed to bring him along, so I’m afraid he really is here with bad intentions.
Ni Yueshan raised the corners of his lips slightly. What did he want to do to her?
Frying or cooking?
Inside Chengqian Palace.
Ni Yueshan was taken to a large hall. The palace maid went in to report and Ni Yueshan was brought in.
Ni Yueshan glanced around out of the corner of his eye. There were maids standing beside him, but each of them had her head lowered, as if she was staying out of everything.
The outer hall where Ni Yueshan was was quiet, but there were always sounds of laughter coming from inside the hall.
Ni Yueshan was not in a hurry. After all, the Empress Dowager's banquet was about to begin, and the Imperial Noble Concubine would not be delayed for long.
The beaded curtain was lifted, and the palace maid said to Ni Yueshan coldly: "Come in."
Ni Yueshan walked in slowly. In the inner hall, it seemed that only the eldest princess and the imperial concubine were sitting there.
"Meet the Imperial Concubine, meet the Princess."
Only when Ni Yueshan arrived did the two women stop chatting. "Is this the daughter of the prime minister whose poems amazed everyone at your poetry gathering?"
The one who was speaking was the Imperial Noble Consort, whose voice was clear and pleasant, but Ni Yueshan was kneeling on the ground and couldn't look up, so he didn't know what the Imperial Noble Consort looked like.
"It's her. Why don't you raise your head?" Jing Yu'e's voice became a little more majestic, and Ni Yueshan had to slowly raise his head.
When the Imperial Concubine saw Ni Yueshan wearing a veil, she looked surprised and asked, "Why are you covering yourself up?"
Ni Yueshan didn't believe that the Imperial Noble Consort didn't know about her appearance. She only responded respectfully: "I know that I am ugly, so I dare not show it to others, for fear of scaring some timid person..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your body and hair are given by your parents. No matter what they look like, they are a gift from them. You are hiding it like this. You seem to be disrespecting your mother."
This is extremely disrespectful to one’s mother!
Ni Yueshan was depressed, but she was the imperial concubine, so how could she disobey her?
"The Imperial Concubine is right, but I'm really afraid that someone might be frightened by this!"
"Even in broad daylight, I'd be scared by your appearance. There's no need for me to go out and see people again!"
So it's not that the person who was scared deserved it, but that she deserved it for coming out and scaring people. She should just stay at home and not come out...
Wearing a veil is not okay, scaring people is not okay, it's wrong either way, and her current appearance is also her fault.
"Yes." Ni Yueshan took off her veil depressedly, and the imperial concubine showed a satisfied expression.
Then she said in a friendly tone, "You have a good talent for poetry. At the banquet today, you should write a poem in front of the Queen Mother. Start thinking about it now. I think you will have plenty of time when you are in front of the Queen Mother!"
When presenting a poem in front of the Empress Dowager at that time, I'm afraid it would be a moment of public attention, right?
When she took off her veil and her appearance was seen by others, she would be despised by everyone. If her poetry was not good, she would be despised again, and then she would become famous.
She might be spread around saying that she is ugly, shameless, overestimating her own abilities, and embarrassing herself.
This imperial concubine is amazing!
Compared with the eldest princess's methods, it is much more clever.
If she refuses, she will be punished; if she obeys, she will be despised and scorned.
Ni Yueshan followed her out of Chengqian Palace. Jing Yu'e followed the Imperial Noble Concubine, talking and laughing, as if Ni Yueshan did not exist.
When they reached the banquet hall entrance, Jing Yu'e looked at Ni Yueshan, who had been following behind her. "Miss Ni, do you remember what the Imperial Noble Consort said just now? Write a poem in front of the Empress Dowager later to please her. Come, follow me in with the Imperial Noble Consort."
