Nanfei

The Apocalypse Dynasty treated the arrival of Nan Shao Kingdom very seriously. The emperor not only went to greet him at the gate of the palace in person, but also hosted a state banquet to welcome him.

The night breeze is gentle, and the silvery moonlight spreads on the ground, matching the rows of red lanterns.

Banquets were held in the inner and outer courts of the palace, which seemed extremely lively.

Officials of the third rank and above in Beijing, nobles and grandchildren, and children of the clan all brought their families into the palace for the banquet.

Even the queen, who was recuperating from a long illness, attended the state banquet.

Usually, at state banquets, a large golden nanmu table is placed on the top, and several rows of Eight Immortals tables are placed on the left and right below, and men and women sit on the left and right.

Today is different, there are two big tables on it, Empress Qi Zhanzhou is at one table, Nanshao King Tong Guoshi is at the other table, the distance between the two tables is not very far, and it is very convenient to talk with each other.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with such an arrangement, but the people below were quite critical.

Without him, on one side of the emperor is the graceful and luxurious Queen Zhou, and on the other side is a young man who looks extremely evil.

When the emperor entered the banquet hall with Empress Zhou and Concubine Nan, everyone was stunned. After all, few people sitting here had seen Concubine Nan.

When Qi Yu came in, everyone was wondering who this person was. He looked like a man but not a woman. He was wearing men's clothes, but he looked like a man and a woman. Under the warm yellow light, he looked like a monster, so beautiful. Unlike ordinary people.

After the visitor sat down beside the emperor, the people below couldn't help but gasp, as if a ball of cotton wool had been stuffed into their heads, they couldn't understand why a man was sitting beside the emperor openly, The next table.

After shouting long live three times, they couldn't help but wink at each other and asked each other what was going on.

The state banquet has strict rules, and the banquet is not held yet, so it is not easy for everyone to whisper to each other for news.

We have to communicate with each other through eyebrows.

The atmosphere seemed very silent and weird for a moment.

At this time, it was reported that the king of Nanshao and the national teacher of Nanshao had arrived.

King Nanshao's clothes are in the wind, and his posture is very chic and easy, as if the people who entered other countries without knowing it before are not like him.

The national teacher's eyes glanced at the first seat inadvertently, he couldn't help but pause, his body was slightly stiff, and he couldn't help taking a step back. If King Nanshao hadn't helped him in time, he would have almost staggered.

The national teacher who lost his composure took a deep breath for a while before standing still, lowering his eyes slightly, he didn't care about the surprised gazes cast by everyone, but only a gaze from the top position made him flustered, his chest was blocked, and his eyes were stingy.

Seemingly unable to muster the strength to move forward, the King of Nanshao supported him without changing his face, and gave Qi Zhan an apologetic look, as if to say that he hadn't recovered from the exhaustion of the boat.

A deep meaning flashed in Qi Zhan's eyes, ashamed that he was not as good as his ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense in response to changes.

Taking Queen Nanfei forward a few steps, after being seated, the official in front of the hall called the banquet open.

The neon clothes and dance music started with the elegant music, and the exquisite dishes and wine were served in the Chaoyang Hall like flowing water.

After the emperor and King Nanshao drank three cups together, the slightly reserved people below relaxed a little bit, enjoying the delicious food and admiring the graceful woman in the center of the hall.

At the men's table, Kang Wang casually glanced at the few people above with a wine cup, the smile on his face was a little bit faint, and his eyes fell on the center of the field casually. Waking up with one arm, the old prince asked in a low voice, "Does the prince know who the person next to His Majesty is?"

Although the old prince is old, his eyes are not dazzled, he can still distinguish between men and women clearly. He really disapproves of a man sitting upright at the top, which is unreasonable, and because of the state banquet, there are other kings present, otherwise he would have opened his mouth to question up.

Kang Wang stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, and said with a smile: "The old prince forgets a lot, and that person is His Majesty's Nanfei."

The old prince frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly realized, he suddenly remembered what happened years ago. If he hadn't met someone today, he would have forgotten that His Majesty once accepted a man as a concubine. down.

The second son of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, he is nothing more than an Israelite, and he has lost the face of the clan.

The old prince's face darkened immediately, and he glanced at Qi Yu several times, but Qi Yu was in shock at this moment, and suddenly he didn't notice his burning gaze.

The old prince who was ignored was even more unhappy, and kept drinking.

The corners of Kang Wang's lips were slightly curved, and he turned his eyes to the center of the hall again, as if attracted by the wonderful dance.

The smile on Concubine Wei Shu's face at the ladies' table became colder and she stared angrily at the woman dancing in the middle of the venue.

"This bird's nest and ginseng cake is sweet, and it tastes good." Concubine Feng Defei tilted her head and personally sandwiched a piece of bird's nest and ginseng cake for her, showing a gentle smile: "My sister seems to have lost weight these days, it's time to replenish her body .”

Concubine Wei Shu looked at the bird's nest and ginseng cake exuding a sweet and greasy aroma in the dish in front of her, feeling quite upset, but she had a sweet smile on her face: "My sister has been working hard in the harem these days, so I should eat more. After speaking, he handed a cup of stewed black chicken with Korean ginseng to Concubine Feng Defei.

Concubine Feng Defei tightened her hand holding the handkerchief, bit her teeth, took the soup pot, took a sip, her heart became more and more unpleasant, black chicken stewed with Korean ginseng has the effect of regulating menstruation and nourishing blood, but it is of no benefit to her.

The body has been depleted early, and no amount of decoction will make up for it.

The culprit has not found a clue so far, and every time she thinks about the infertility, she wishes to kill her murderer.

I don't know if Concubine Wei Shu handed her the soup today because she really wanted her health well, or if she was angry that Concubine Nan was able to dominate the emperor inadvertently showing some clues.

For a moment, he looked at Concubine Wei Shu more probingly.

Not far away, Concubine Xian squinted and snorted coldly, smiled at the high queen, and asked the servants behind her to deliver the silky chicken stewed with ginseng in front of her.

Concubine Kang, who was beside Concubine Xian, covered her lips with a brocade handkerchief, and said to Concubine Xian with a faint smile, "Concubine Xian and Empress are really sisters."

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows, and said with a half-smile, "Sisters are naturally affectionate."

Concubine Kang Wei's body has always been delicate, her temperament is a bit dull and dull, she doesn't often enter the palace, and she is not close to the concubine Xian, if she said such words today, I don't know if it was because she was emotional for a while or had other deep meanings.

Concubine Xian took the handkerchief from the maid's hand and wiped the corners of her lower lips, glanced in the direction of Concubine Wei Shu, and said with a smile: "Sister and Concubine Wei Shu are also sisters, if you are healthy, you might go to the palace more often to accompany Concubine Shu Say homely."

Concubine Kang's complexion changed slightly, and she said flatly: "There are differences between sisters, my concubine's health is not very good, and I am afraid that I will get sick and give Concubine Shu a bad temper when I enter the palace."

What he said was quite interesting, and there was a sense of alienation inside and outside the words.

They are from the same family, they are cousins ​​and relatives of sister-in-law, but they are called Concubine Shu.

Concubine Xian sneered in her heart, is it true that the whole family does not enter one family, and one family is sick, and the whole family is holding the medicine jar.

Concubine Kang was holding the wine cup in her hand in a daze, her eyes pierced through the crowd as if she had glanced at King Kang, and then quickly withdrew her gaze, with a mocking smile on her lips, which was very eye-catching. A trace of deep-seated disgust can also be seen.

Before she had time to figure out the reason, Princess Kang's eyes focused on Mrs. Cheng Enhou who was obliquely behind, and the sneer in her eyes became more conspicuous.

Concubine Kang drank the wine in the glass one by one, and suddenly smiled at Concubine Xian, as if feeling emotional, said: "Among these sisters, there are those whose blood dissolves in water, and those who hide adultery in their faces and hearts, and even more so." There are those who are incompatible with each other, and life is just like this, and the clues can be seen from the relationship between sisters."

As if talking to herself, without waiting for Concubine Xian to speak, she asked the maid to fill her quilt again, and the short-lived anger seemed to disappear, and she returned to the usual dull and dull, muttering: "My sister just thinks that my sister drank a few more glasses today and talked nonsense."

Concubine Xian was silent, but kept the hidden words in Concubine Kang's words in her heart.

The two stopped talking, and put their eyes on the center of the hall in a bored manner.

Madam Cheng Enhou raised her head and glanced at Empress Zhou, the veins on the back of her hand were bulging, she smiled sneeringly, she could not change into a phoenix even if she flew up a branch, she was on an equal footing with a man.

He snorted coldly in his heart, but he was just holding an air of superiority, thinking that he had developed some skills, and dared to sow discord between their husband and wife.

I hate her even more for not speaking out to help, causing her daughter to be scolded by His Majesty for no reason, and losing all face. These days, she dare not go out to face the sneering eyes of outsiders.

Suppressing the hatred in his heart, he couldn't help but fantasize that if his own daughter sat in such a position, how would he be humiliated in the future, how dare that coward Zhou Binghai do anything to her and bully her, how could Fei Er be so deeply hurt? Thousands of arrows pierced through the heart, almost blinding both eyes.

He tightly clenched the veil in his hand, and a deep determination flashed in his eyes.

Secretly stuffed a note to the maid behind her, and said in a low voice, "Please pass it to the empress for me." The heavy purse was also handed over.

Those who can enter the Chaoyang Palace to serve the state banquet are not clever, who are also familiar with the identity of the guests and know their origins.

The palace man took a careful look around, lent her the gesture of storing the cup, handed the purse back calmly, and nodded slightly.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Cheng Enhou didn't dare to move too much because of the crowd, and then stuffed her purse over there, so she could only suppress her dissatisfaction and took a sip of the tea cup in front of her.

A little anxiously waiting for the palace man to deliver the news.

After drinking for three rounds, the food was tasteless, and the Chaoyang Hall became lively.

From time to time, some people are slightly drunk and go out to take a breath to relieve alcohol fatigue.

Under Cheng Enhoufu's anxious eyes, the court lady finally found a chance to hand over the note in her sleeve to Qingmei, the eldest court lady next to the queen.

Qingmei took the note, gathered it up in her sleeves, said to the maid with an uneasy expression: "Understood, it's good to serve Mrs. Chengenhou."

Walked out from the corner, came to Queen Zhou, bent over and whispered to Queen Zhou.

The smile on Empress Zhou's face dimmed.

Empress Zhou came to the side hall under the pretext of changing clothes, opened the note in her hand, and saw that there was someone else who killed Fei Er.

Empress Zhou lit the note on the fire, and the small note was instantly turned into ashes, and a wisp of gray smoke curled up.

Empress Zhou sneered, she was purely courting death, and asked Qingmei to invite Mrs. Cheng Enhou to the side hall.
