readx(); Speaking of Feng Fendai's arrival, the person who was most surprised was Concubine Li, because she did not send any notice to Feng Fendai, and she really couldn't figure out what this person wanted to do by coming uninvited.
Concubine Li stared at Feng Fendai until she walked to her, then looked at the child who came with them. The child had dark skin and was quite cute, but when held by Feng Fendai's hand, he was no longer likable. Concubine Li even felt annoyed with the child.
Because the banquet was not well organized, Concubine Li was already unhappy listening to people's complaints. In addition, Feng Yuheng deliberately distanced himself from her and sat next to Xuan Tiange, so she couldn't get close to him even if she wanted to. Concubine Li was so angry that she had no place to vent. Now that she saw Feng Fendai bringing a broken child, she immediately found an outlet for her emotions.
Fendai had just stood still, and before she could even salute, she heard Concubine Li shouting in a cold voice, "What are you doing here? Who allowed you to enter the palace? What do you think the palace is? A woman of no rank and no status can just come here without permission, who on earth is backing you up?"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Fendai laughed on the spot, and her laughter was very unrestrained, with a giggle, which made Feng Yuheng think that this girl was possessed by Han. However, Feng Fendai only had this smile that occasionally resembled Han, and her words were very different from her charming mother. Concubine Li didn't like her, but she didn't care. Similarly, she didn't like Concubine Li either. She approached Concubine Li just to take advantage of the relationship, and this kind of take-over now has a bit of threat. She said: "Whether I can enter the palace is not up to you, Concubine Li. Similarly, no one who enters or leaves the palace needs to report to a concubine. The reason why I can enter the palace is that the person who supports me must be the fifth prince. What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Concubine Li also knew that what she said just now was too unprofessional. She was just like that. She didn't have any ideas and her mind was always impulsive. She didn't think much about what she said impulsively. Now that Feng Fendai had found fault with her, she felt ashamed. But she still managed to force out some reason, "I'm talking about Changning Palace! Who allowed you to come in?"
Fendai blinked, "Isn't there a palace banquet here? The queen has returned to the position of consort, and people have come to give gifts. The princes have also made preparations for the sake of the Sixth Prince. I am here today on behalf of the Fifth Prince to give gifts to the queen on his behalf."
After she finished speaking, she motioned the maid Dongying who was following behind her to hand over the box in her hand. Concubine Li was a little embarrassed. Since Fendai came here as a gift, she couldn't say anything more. What's more, she said that she was sending gifts on behalf of the Fifth Prince. If she continued to find fault at this time, she would offend not Feng Fendai but the Fifth Prince. No matter how confused she was, she knew that she shouldn't make too many enemies for her son. Even if those princes were her son's competitors, the falling out shouldn't start with her. So, she adjusted her mood and said, "Since you're here, let's join in the fun!" After that, she motioned Zuo'er to give him a seat, but pointed to the nearest place near the door and said, "Let Miss Feng sit there."
Fendai didn't care about the position she was assigned. She took Xiaobao's hand and followed Zuo'er. After sitting down, she was indifferent, but her eyes were always staring at Concubine Li, which made Concubine Li feel uneasy. She came to the palace today just to see this partner who she had taken the initiative to find. After her repeated threats and inducements, this woman didn't move or react at all. She couldn't help but wonder what Concubine Li was planning.
Of course, Fendai could naturally think that Concubine Li did not want to help others, but wanted to push her son to the throne. But from what she knew, the Sixth Prince was not someone who could bear the throne. The Sixth Prince himself was rejecting it. Even if Concubine Li was willing, how could she succeed? But she understood this truth, and Concubine Li would naturally understand it, but Concubine Li was still working hard towards this goal, which made Fendai more suspicious. Could it be that Concubine Li had someone else to rely on?
She glanced at Zhu Kongshan and evaluated it in her mind. If Concubine Li's backer was Concubine Yuan, that was even more impossible. Concubine Yuan had a son, and the Eighth Prince was a hot candidate for the throne. How could he turn around and support Concubine Li? Could it be that... Concubine Li had decided to give up the decision to let the Sixth Prince compete for the throne and instead assist the Eighth Prince?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible. If this was the case, it would not be of any benefit to her. The Fifth Prince was alone and had no hope. If she could not win over Concubine Li, her beautiful dream would be shattered again.
Fen Dai got angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She clenched her fists tightly and pinched Xiao Bao's hand. Xiao Bao cried out "It hurts" softly, and she came back to her senses. But at this moment, she saw Concubine Li walk down from the main seat and run towards Feng Yu Heng eagerly. She didn't care that Xuan Tian Ge was right beside her, so she squeezed forward and pulled Feng Yu Heng's sleeve, saying, "Ah Heng, you're sitting so far away, and we don't have time to talk properly."
Concubine Li's eagerness made Xuan Tiange, who was pushed aside, frown. He couldn't help but whisper to the two sisters beside him: "When did they become mother and daughter? Is there such a way to get married?"
Feng Tianyu thought for a moment and said, "Could it be because of the relationship with the Sixth Prince? After all, the Sixth Prince has a good personal relationship with Ah Heng. Ah Heng asked us to come together, didn't he say that he wanted to give the Sixth Prince face?"
Xuan Tiange thought about it and there was no other possibility except this, so he nodded, but still couldn't help but said: "I am closer to Concubine Yun than to Ah Heng, what is this? Is it because Sixth Brother has never found a girl he likes, and Concubine Li is too anxious? So she kisses everyone she sees?"
She was completely puzzled, but Feng Fendai saw through it at a glance. In addition, a young lady not far away said sourly: "Oh! If you don't know, you would think that Princess Yu is the daughter-in-law of Concubine Li! Look at how close they are, it's really enviable." Fendai guessed Concubine Li's thoughts almost in an instant, but she also wanted to slap herself in the face in an instant.
This is really ridiculous! If Concubine Li really has such thoughts, then Concubine Li is a psychopath! How could I think of planning with a psychopath? To cooperate?
She laughed, but also had some expectations. She didn't know what Concubine Li would do under such a thought. She really wanted to see something extraordinary, that would be more exciting! It would be best if the Ninth Prince beat Concubine Li and her son to death in anger, so that the future throne of Dashun would be one less thing to worry about.
Concubine Li was chatting with Feng Yuheng, and regardless of whether Feng Yuheng's attitude was cold or warm, the guests in the flower hall were very irritated. Those who had felt that the palace banquet was not like a palace banquet began to feel unbalanced again, and some even said, "If I had known that the master would not send such a heavy gift, Concubine Li is so stingy, it's annoying to see it!"
"Of course! Are we just going to sit here doing nothing all day?" Another young lady slammed the table. "We've already eaten all the rotten fruits, and they didn't even offer us some. Is this Changning Palace or the Cold Palace? How come you don't have the bearing of a favorite concubine at all?"
Zhu Kongshan looked at the scene and felt that he was a little out of control. After thinking for a while, he simply stood up and walked to Concubine Li. Regardless of the fact that she was chatting enthusiastically with Feng Yuheng, he forcibly interrupted and said, "Aunt, why don't Kongshan play a song for everyone here? It can also be regarded as a celebration for this Yang Palace Banquet."
Concubine Li raised her eyebrows and said rudely, "Why? Do you think this palace is too quiet? Do you think my hospitality is not good enough? Don't worry, your aunt will be here soon. Then you can go back with her and avoid this boredom."
Zhu Kongshan was stunned, and quickly leaned over to apologize: "Don't blame me, Second Aunt, Kongshan didn't mean that."
But Concubine Li ignored her, turned her head, and looked at Feng Yuheng with a smile again.
Zhu Kongshan gritted her teeth secretly, stood up and returned to her seat. She couldn't figure out what Concubine Yuan had done to make Concubine Li unhappy, or was Feng Yuheng deliberately ostracizing them? If it was intentional, then what did the other party do to attract Concubine Li's full attention?
Finally, Concubine Yuan arrived. Feng Yuheng stopped Concubine Li from talking about the Sixth Prince and kindly reminded her, "Your Majesty should return to the main seat, so that it will be more convenient for the guests to greet you."
Concubine Li didn't want to leave Feng Yuheng's little piece of land, but Feng Yuheng's words made her mind. Looking at Concubine Yuan who had already entered the flower hall, she nodded and said, "Ah Heng is still thoughtful." Then she stood up and returned to her seat.
As soon as she left, Xuan Tiange and the others came up to her and asked her curiously, "What medicine did Concubine Li take wrong?"
Feng Yuheng snorted coldly and said bluntly: "Sixth brother's brain is so smart, it seems that he really inherited it all from father! If he takes after Concubine Li a little bit, it will really be a headache."
Before Xuan Tiange and the others could guess what she meant by this, they saw that Concubine Yuan had already walked up to Concubine Li and bowed according to her rank in a very polite manner, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Concubine Li, I wish you good health."
At this moment, Concubine Li was no longer the flatterer she had been when she was talking to Feng Yuheng. Her face was solemn and rigid, her head slightly raised, and her concubine's posture was instantly pulled open, making Concubine Yuan seem even lower in status than her.
Facing the courtesy of Yuan Guiren, she did not respond immediately, but looked at him with contempt and unfamiliarity for a while, and then slowly said: "Oh, who am I thinking? It turns out to be a noble lady living in the side hall of Cunshan Palace. Stand up! Everyone who comes is a guest. Zuo'er, please take a seat."
Yuan Guiren stood up, but she didn't care about Concubine Li's attitude. After that big drama, Concubine Li couldn't have been unaware that she was behind it, unless she was really stupid. Obviously, Concubine Li wasn't that stupid, but she showed her attitude so obviously in front of others, which showed that she was not very smart.
She refused Zuo'er's offer to lead her to where the other nobles were sitting, and instead looked around the hall, shook her head, and then, very unreservedly, walked a few steps forward and sat down next to Concubine Li, saying with a smile on her face, "The Emperor said that we sisters have a deep bond, and our common niece has done good deeds outside, so whether it's a reward for you or for me, it's the same. Sister, don't you agree?"
The phrase "sisterly love is deep" put the blame on Emperor Tianwu. Even if Concubine Li didn't like it, she didn't dare to refute it. She struggled for a long time in her heart, and finally nodded and said awkwardly, "Yes." But she gritted her teeth secretly, and hated this sister to the extreme...
