Chapter 18

In this way, the spring feast came quietly.

Early in the morning, the palace was busy up and down.

Sheng Li looked down at the newly painted nails, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Young concubine, is it okay to put this vase here?"

The maid asked cautiously.

Sheng Li raised her eyes and took a look. In fact, she couldn't see any difference, so she could only pretend to think deeply for a while, then nodded reluctantly: "That's it, it's good."

"Ah, the imperial concubine is so beautiful today!" The sound of flattery was heard from a long distance away, so dog-legged that Sheng Li used her toes to figure out who it was.

Sure enough, when I turned my head, I saw the flamboyant Concubine Wei walking over with a smile. I don't know if it was because of the "shameful" transaction between the two of them before. I am the concubine's person" These big words were pasted on the face.

Regarding this, Sheng Li said: I am not familiar with her.

Liu Guiren covered her lips and said with a smile: "Look at what the concubine Wei said, when will the concubine look bad?"

Concubine Wei's eyes immediately flew over: Finding fault, right?

Liu Guiren is fearless: so what?

The imperial concubine herself smiled: These two people are so noisy.

After Concubine Shu and Concubine De finished checking the banquet, they finally had the time to breathe a sigh of relief, and when they looked back and saw Sheng Li being so leisurely, they couldn't help being envious and jealous again.

However, they chose the road by themselves, and they can't blame anyone.

Concubine Shu walked over and winked at Sheng Li, and lowered her voice to remind: "What about the good show?"

Sheng Li smiled and comforted her: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

A word was blocked by Concubine Shu, and her heart was itchy like a cat scratching.

Everyone looked at this scene curiously, not knowing why.

"Why is she here too?"

Someone started talking in a low voice.

"Didn't His Majesty punish her for copying scriptures and self-examination? How dare he come out!"

Sheng Li looked towards the place where everyone's eyes were looking, and as expected, he saw Jiang Manyue, who was dressed fresh and refined.

The rash on her face seemed to be getting better, and she deliberately covered it up with makeup, but now there are no traces of it.

This appearance is actually quite similar to that of a heroine.

It could be seen that Jiang Manyue was extremely reluctant to come up, but due to the strict rules of the palace, she could only reluctantly move up and salute.

The corners of Sheng Li's lips curled up into a smile: "I begged His Majesty specifically to avoid Jiang's confinement. On such a good day, it's only fun if everyone gets together."

Concubine Wei snorted softly: "The imperial concubine is still kind-hearted, Jiang promises to keep it in her heart!"

Jiang Manyue pursed her lips when she heard the words, and nodded forbearance: "Yes."

The smile in Sheng Li's eyes deepened: nonsense, Jiang Manyue didn't witness this scene with her own eyes, so what's the point of the play she sang today?
The little counselor hesitated to speak: [...Host, is this really okay? 】

It always feels unreliable.

Sheng Li's tone was gentle: "Hey, trust me, I won't let you lose."

The little counselor blushed: [Okay...Okay. 】

Later, it discovered that from this moment on, it was deceived by this lotus essence so much that it didn't even have any pants left!
……

The gate of the palace was opened, and the noble ladies and princes outside the palace also entered the palace one after another.

The acquainted ladies gathered together and whispered:
"Can we meet the legendary concubine who is much loved this time?"

"I can, but there is still a question mark about this 'very much loved'. No one in the palace knows the temper. I think it's probably just a novelty for a while."

"Hush! You don't want to die? Dare to say such treasonous words, be careful to let the nobleman hear that you have good fruit to eat!"

The ladies fell silent.

Soon, the topic was changed.

"Who do you think the Empress Dowager is going to be a matchmaker for this time?"

After hearing this, the noble ladies all showed miserable expressions.

"Why did I forget that there is still this problem! The Empress Dowager will be a matchmaker every time she holds a banquet. I don't know who is the unlucky one this time?"

What everyone resisted was not the Queen Mother as a matchmaker, after all, it was also the Queen Mother, and the marriage appointed by her personally would have a face if it was said!

But the key point is that the Empress Dowager has bad eyesight as an old man. Most of the marriages bestowed by her have turned into resentful spouses in the end. Who is not afraid of leaving this matter?

Marriage is no child's play!
As a result, the aristocratic families in Beijing were once turned pale by the feast.

"Ahem, gossip, I heard that it might be His Royal Highness Prince Jing. He has already reached the age to start a family, but for some reason he has been dragging his feet."

The other noble girls couldn't help but widen their eyes, as if they could hear Fang's heart breaking.

"Isn't it? His Royal Highness Prince Jing? The Empress Dowager even wants her own son?"

"Hey, it's not my own!" The lady who broke the news curled her lips, "I just don't know who is so lucky?"

Yes, Prince Jing's reputation in Shengjing should be very good, especially because he is handsome, just because of his skin, he is also the object that all the girls in Shengjing's boudoir are queuing up to marry!
Just now everyone was very repulsed when they heard that the marriage was given, but when they heard that the object of the marriage was Prince Jing, they couldn't help secretly looking forward to it.

If you can marry Prince Jing, it seems that it is not impossible?

"What are you talking about there?"

Surrounded by the crowd, a young girl walked over and raised her chin arrogantly.

Seeing this person, everyone's discussion quieted down, and their eyes were embarrassed.

"I have met the Danyang County Lord."

This girl has a lot of background, the daughter of the General Hussars, because of her father's outstanding military exploits, she was exceptionally named the head of the county.

The county lord did not disappoint his strong background, and his temperament was so arrogant and domineering.

In other words, few of the noble girls in Shengjing liked her.

But they have a great father.Can not afford to offend!

"Go back to the county lord, we are discussing which two families the Empress Dowager will bestow marriages on this time!"

The head of Danyang County raised his eyebrows: "A marriage? That's right, the Empress Dowager likes to be a matchmaker the most."

"They also said that the Empress Dowager might want to choose a concubine for His Royal Highness Prince Jing!"

Danyang County Lord suddenly looked at the speaker, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Who are you talking about?"

The noble girl stammered and said, "Jing, Your Highness Prince Jing..."

Seeing Danyang's complexion suddenly sank, the expression of the wise lady was intriguing.

Danyang county magistrate is in love with Prince Jing bitterly, and he can't get it. This is no secret in the circle.

She also once said that the position of Concubine Jing belongs to her. Unfortunately, her infatuation is destined to make a wrong payment, and His Highness Prince Jing doesn't pay much attention to her.

I don't know what to do this time.

Everyone gloated in their hearts, but no one dared to touch her bad luck.

Sheng Li looked at the noble ladies in the yard with great interest, and asked the people next to him, "Which one is the Danyang county lord?"
