Quick Wear: The Concubine is Seductive and Seduces the Mistress

Chapter 231 The Prince's Early Death White Moonlight 28

The palace banquet began in the evening. Officials and their wives entered the Hanyuan Hall one after another and sat at their seats.

The concubines sat together. When Liu Fuyin arrived, it was still early and there were not many concubines present. However, because of her background, no one was willing to sit next to her.

As soon as Miss Wang arrived, she sat next to her, holding her hand and talking to her intimately, and Liu Fuyin responded with a smile.

The hall was bustling with activity until Wu Zhengxiang said in a melodious voice, "The Emperor has arrived." Then the hall quieted down and everyone stood up to salute.

Li Yize and Chen Yanzhen were both wearing bright yellow auspicious robes, and they walked side by side holding the hands of the eldest prince. The eldest prince was wearing a slightly darker yellow, and although he looked a little weak, this scene made them look like a loving family.

Li Yize first gave a half-bow to the empress dowager, and then moved to the center seat at the top. The eldest prince was carried down by the wet nurse, and the empress dowager and Chen Yanzhen sat on both sides respectively.

After sitting down, Li Yize raised his hand, said "Stand up", and said some nice words suitable for the festival. Then the palace banquet began.

The food at the palace banquet only looks good in presentation, but the quantity is usually small and not very tasty. It's not that the people in the imperial kitchen don't pay attention to it, but the food is made very early in the morning, and when it cools down, the oil foam floats on the surface, and it doesn't taste good no matter how you look at it.

But even if the food was delicious, the concubines in the palace usually didn't eat much of the food at the banquet, for fear that ingredients might be added to it.

But Liu Fuyin knew medicine, so she didn't have to worry about these things. So when she saw that one of the fish dishes looked good, she started eating it. The stuffed fish seemed to be baked and was not so greasy.

Once she started eating, she became quiet and those who disliked her would always find fault with her no matter what.

The concubine who was sitting next to her smiled as she held up a handkerchief: "Has Concubine Song never used these before?"

The person sitting next to her immediately responded, "That's right. Some people may be rich, but they can't buy everything."

"Yes, just like the manners of your chatterboxes, it is indeed hard to buy." Liu Fuyin took a bite of the fish slowly and replied with a smile.

There was no chance of a real dispute at the banquet; at most it would just be some verbal exchanges.

At banquets like this, ministers usually flatter the emperor by praising his achievements. Right now the discussion was getting lively, and Li Yize was so happy that he raised his glass to toast everyone.

Liu Fuyin took a sip from the wine glass beside her, casually glanced at the palace maid who poured the wine, and the smile on her face became even wider. She drank it all in one gulp, and even drank several glasses in a row.

"Sister Song, can you drink so well?" Concubine Wang was shocked. Even when His Majesty asked them to raise their glasses together, she just took a sip.

"Normally, I just drank it at home before." She just kept eating without saying much, and took the last fake pregnancy pill under the cover of her sleeve.

Since someone had given her a fake pregnancy drug, why didn't she make it true and then put on a few big shows.

Towards the end of the party, some of the children could no longer sit still, but that was no problem as they were allowed to go out and play.

Taking this opportunity, several concubines at the female seat talked with their family members. It should be mentioned that Concubine Shen is still under house arrest by His Majesty and has not been released today.

The Shen family wouldn't mention it if they didn't see anyone, but that doesn't mean the Queen Mother pretended not to see it. She looked at the Queen with some displeasure, but didn't embarrass the Queen in front of so many people. She just felt uncomfortable, so she was a little arrogant when the Queen came to pay her respects.

Normally speaking, since everyone should be attending this kind of palace banquet, Concubine Shen should be allowed to attend as an exception, but Chen Yanzhen didn't take her seriously at all and didn't care about it.

But this had nothing to do with Liu Fuyin. After Lady Wang said that they were good sisters, Liu Fuyin followed her to meet her family. When Lady Wang's mother introduced her, her face became a little tense.

Mrs. Wang was a woman with gentle looks and friendly manners. She bowed to the two of them politely and did not feel bothered by Liu Fuyin's presence. Instead, she gave some of the sweet cakes she made to Liu Fuyin.

"There are many good things in the palace, but mother also knows that you like to eat this, so I thought I would give it to you if I came across it." After saying that, she looked at Liu Fuyin again, "Ms. Song, Qing'er may not have a good temper. Please bear with her in this palace."

"Mom, what did you say to her?" Lady Wang now hated her own mouth for talking nonsense just now.

If she had known that Song Cairen was so shameless and would follow her to meet her family, she should not have said those polite words.

"Qing'er, now that you have entered the palace you can no longer show your temper, and you can't lose your temper with the ladies." Mrs. Wang said patiently.

Liu Fuyin, who had come along to cause trouble, couldn't say anything in the end. Instead, she praised her beauty and craftsmanship on the spot, and at the same time envied Lady Wang for having her family in Beijing and being able to meet them during the holidays.

That’s right, their Nanzhao is not like the previous dynasty that was trapped in a frame. Once you enter the palace, you don’t know how many years it will take for you to see your family again.

As long as the official position of the family is high enough and they can attend the palace banquet, the emperor will basically not prevent their female relatives from meeting each other. As for those concubines with low family background, they can also ask to see the queen during the New Year. As long as the queen agrees, the female relatives of the family can enter the palace to meet them.

Of course, it is very rare to see men from other countries. You usually just see them from afar at banquets. Unless you are favored and ask His Majesty for favor or have given birth to a child, it is really hard to see them.

Liu Fuyin was sweet-mouthed, and with just a few words, she made Mrs. Wang laugh so hard that tears were about to come out. In front of her mother, Miss Wang was much more free to do as she pleased, "Mom, whose mother are you anyway?"

Liu Fuyin had already left by now. She was not so shameless as to stay behind and talk to the two of them.

It was already late when the banquet ended. Liu Fuyin leisurely went to the Imperial Garden for a walk. Most people had left, leaving only His Majesty and a few old ministers to chat.

"My lady, it's getting late. I'll take you back to the palace." Fuling was really worried when she saw Liu Fuyin walking crookedly.

Unfortunately, Liu Fuyin was very stubborn sometimes, and she wouldn't let anyone help her, and she couldn't stop him even if she tried her best.

"No, I want to go enjoy the moon."

"My dear, you are drunk. How can you go to the lake to enjoy the moon?"

When her master was walking by the lake, Fuling was standing by her side, worried that she might accidentally fall into the water.

Liu Fuyin, on the other hand, pointed excitedly into the water, her eyes sparkling, "Fuling, you are lying, look at the big moon, I want to catch the moon!"

This sentence really frightened Fuling. She shuddered and didn't care about the hierarchy and hugged Liu Fuyin tightly. She also knew that this person was drunk and couldn't listen to anything, so she could only coax her: "My lady, don't worry, the moon is not so easy to catch, I will take you back to get the tools, okay."

After finally persuading the man to go back, Fuling just breathed a sigh of relief, but in the blink of an eye she saw her master jumping forward.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fuling's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but pray that the young lady would not say anything nonsense!

The next moment, Liu Fuyin excitedly said, "I caught him!"
