After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 28 A big banquet
  The next day is the day of Libi's flower viewing banquet.

In order to steal Concubine Li's limelight at the banquet, Ren Qianyu worked hard.

Ren Qianyu dressed up charmingly, overwhelming everyone with her gorgeousness.

Ren Yuhuan personally helped Ren Qianyu dress up, took out the eight-treasure hairpin that she didn't usually carry, and dressed up Ren Qianyu.

This Eight Treasure Hairpin is an eight-branch gold hairpin with pearls of the same size inlaid on the front. On the top of the gold hairpin, a silver silk ribbon hangs, which hangs down naturally after being worn.

Ren Yuhuan tied up all of Ren Qianyu's hair and let the silk ribbon hang down between her neck.

And what she was wearing was a newly tailored robe with a black background, bright red pattern and piping that exposed her neck.

Ren Qianyu stood in front of the bronze mirror, turning her back to the bronze mirror and looking back with a smile.

"The empress is so gorgeous in the harem when she is dressed up like this! She doesn't look like a royal concubine, but she has the aura of a queen!"

The maids were all advocating nearby, and Ren Qianyu was happy to hear it.

"Let's dress up like this today!"

Ren Yuhuan held Ren Qianyu's hand and headed to Chenghuan Hall.

Although Chenghuan Hall is not close to the imperial study, it was once the palace of the late emperor's favorite concubine. It is larger than other palaces and has its own flower forest and hot spring pool.

When Shen Yanzhi was tired, he liked to come here to soak in the hot springs and chat with Libi about affairs outside the customs. In fact, he wanted to understand the general's movements through Libi and hint at some ideas for Libi to convey.

Next to the hot spring pool in Chenghuan Hall, there is a field of various flowers and trees planted, clustered together, which is particularly beautiful.

Ren Qianyu was late on purpose and dressed up to attend. She watched the palace officials hurried in to report, but she didn't wait. She raised her chin and let Ren Yuhuan help her in.

Concubine Li thought that the imperial concubine would not come today, so the banquet had already begun, and the maids lined up to bring snacks to the table.

Hearing that Ren Qianyu was coming, she could only stand up and walk out to greet her.

After saluting, Ren Qianyu smiled arrogantly and said: "My sister is very elegant and willing to take care of these things. It's just that the journey is too far. I'm not late, am I?"

Li Bin heard this and smiled and said: "As long as sister is here, it is our sisterhood. Please take a seat."

Ren Yuhuan doesn't need to say anything now, all he has to do is watch Ren Qianyu perform.

Sure enough, Ren Qianyu did not disappoint at all.

She walked in proudly and found that plates and wine bottles had been placed on the seat next to Concubine Shu, and someone was obviously already sitting there.

Then he stood on the porch, deliberately looking at the fallen flower petals falling into the hot spring pool.

With a squinting glance, he saw the palace maid go up and remove the wine glass from that position, and put a new one on it.

Seeing that she was ready, Libi smiled and asked Ren Qianyu to take a seat.

However, Ren Qianyu seemed to be fascinated by the hot spring pool. She was sitting next to the pool, staring at the soft milky white water. The gold and jade bracelets on her wrists slid down and made a crisp sound.

Ren Yuhuan stepped forward to help Ren Qianyu roll up her sleeves, and Ren Qianyu said: "Sister, this pool of yours is really good. My Yikun Palace is far behind this place!"

As the host of the banquet, Libi cannot be dragged here by Ren Qianyu to entertain her for a long time, but Ren Qianyu refused to move even after urging her several times.

However, Concubine Li is not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others. When she saw Ren Qianyu deliberately not moving, she smiled and said: "If sister likes it here, I will ask the palace servants to set up a table here alone. It may be more artistic to watch the flowers across the water!" "

The hot spring pool was sunk in the ground, and the other concubines were sitting high on it. This comparison meant that she suffered a lot. She looked more like a maid than a noble concubine.

Hearing this, Ren Qianyu stood up with a smile and said, "Look at how envious I am. Where is my sister's banquet?" Li Bin led Ren Qianyu to her seat.

Concubine Shu was eating melon seeds while paying attention to the movement of the hot spring pool.

At this moment, when she saw Ren Qianyu coming up, she smiled softly and said in a soft but clear voice that everyone could hear: "We all thought that my sister was not coming, so we made Libi sit here and assume the position of master, but we didn't think about my sister. But it’s here.”

As he spoke, his eyes turned, he looked at Ren Qianyu's bun, pursed his lips and smiled: "I never thought that my sister would be so solemnly dressed up. When I saw it, I thought that my sister was not here for a banquet, but for a beauty pageant. Woolen cloth!"

Everyone laughed.

Those words made Ren Qianyu extremely angry.

However, Ren Qianyu's smile did not diminish. She took care of the ribbon hanging on her collarbone and said, "Sister, I don't know that I am not dressing up to attend the banquet, but to serve His Majesty later."

After speaking, he shook his hair proudly, looked at Concubine Shu with his head raised and said, "Sister, what do you think of this outfit?"

Concubine Shu's smile became much colder: "Nature is extremely beautiful."

After saying that, he turned his head and ignored Ren Qianyu.

Many people at the banquet were on good terms with Concubine Shu, but there were also some nameless people who wanted to come forward to curry favor with the concubine, and the banquet was actually divided into two groups.

Concubine Li noticed what was going on at the banquet and tried to deal with it, but she didn't want Concubine Shu and Concubine to snatch her away at this moment.

Concubine Shu pointed at the crabapples and praised them, while the imperial concubine pointed at the cherry blossoms and applauded.

The two of them wanted Libi to join the team.

Li Bin smiled and said: "Both flowers have their own beauty. Personal preferences vary, but I prefer crabapples. I always feel that cherry blossoms have a tendency to wither easily."

Ren Qianyu heard this, slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Concubine Li and saying, "Are you making a mockery of me?"

Li Bin was just telling the truth, but she didn't expect Ren Qianyu to react to this method, so she quickly made amends with others and apologized.

Ren Qianyu couldn't be angry. When the wind blew, the cherry blossoms were flying and falling, which made her even more angry.

No one knows that she actually has something in her heart. She knows that it may not be because of herself that she is favored, so she is particularly sensitive.

Ren Yuhuan was standing nearby. He should have gone up to persuade him, but now he stood back and paid no attention to anything.

Ren Qianyu, have you seen through the meaning of His Majesty's intentions towards Libi?
  Of course she didn't see it.

Ren Yuhuan lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth.

Ren Qianyu refused to give up and said to Libi: "Since you don't mean that, just apologize to me in front of everyone, and I will spare you."

The imperial concubine's status is naturally higher than that of Li's concubine, so she can be asked to kneel down and apologize in public.

But Concubine Li was no better than the other concubines. Her family came from a family of military commanders, and her ancestors had been knighted. How could she kneel down and apologize to Ren Qianyu in public?

Concubine Shu pretended to persuade her: "Sister, please don't be so angry and spoil everyone's interest. Concubine Renli went to great lengths to organize this banquet. I heard that she did it because of your majesty's words, "No one can see this flower blooming alone and lonely." "

Ren Qianyu sneered and said arrogantly: "Sister said this, does it seem that I am ignorant? I asked my sister, this Begonia Chunxiao blooms early, which matches my sister's early arrival in the palace, but there are no Begonia flowers and fruits. "

One sentence made Concubine Shu get up and leave the table angrily.
