After crossing, the sick and weak daughter she collapsed again

Chapter 48

The next day, it was almost noon after Nalanfu and Shi Junman entered the palace.

Although the purpose of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet is to choose a suitable concubine for King Jin, it is not the real purpose.However, Na Lanfu's eyes still enjoyed a visual feast when he saw that the imperial garden was filled with various rare varieties of chrysanthemums.

However, no matter how colorful the chrysanthemums are, they are no match for those noble ladies who put all their efforts into dressing up.

Although the aroma of chrysanthemums is not too strong, but with such a large number here, it should be a bit fragrant.

However, it is not.

In the imperial garden, the fragrance of clothes and the shadows of the temples, pearls and jade.The scent of chrysanthemums has long been overwhelmed by all kinds of fragrances, and the well-dressed ladies are obviously more attractive than chrysanthemums.

The arrival of Na Lanfu caused many noble ladies present to stop their original conversations or actions, and they all felt inexplicable hostility towards her.

This kind of hostility was caught off guard, and it was not reflected until Shi Junman reminded him in a low voice.

It was probably because after she returned her marriage to the Marquis of Changning, she relied on her "blessing" to increase her worth.

With such a powerful competitor standing here, of course everyone will be afraid.

Na Lanfu shouted in his heart: I am wronged, I really did not want to grab the position of Princess Jin with you.Today's coming to the banquet is purely because the Empress Dowager gave an oral order, and then she also wanted to see what kind of retribution Xiao Lingche said about Qi Ming.

"The Empress Dowager is here!"

The eunuch's high-pitched singing made everyone restrain their minds for a while, and they knelt down in their respective positions in order to wait for the ceremony.

"The empress dowager is a thousand years old."

The feeling of kneeling on the bluestone slab was not pleasant, but fortunately, the Queen Mother did not let everyone suffer.

"Get up."

Although the Empress Dowager's voice sounded a little kind, it was more of an irresistible majesty.

"Thank you, Empress."

"The chrysanthemums in this palace are blooming very well this year. Ai Jia thinks that such a feast should be witnessed by everyone to be quite meaningful."

As soon as the queen mother finished speaking, Qi Yue stood up from the crowd: "It's because the queen mother is considerate that we have such a blessing."

Although the Marquis of Changning and the Empress Dowager are closely related, they can only be regarded as having a weak connection at best.As we all know, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Marquis of Changning is not close at all.

Otherwise, why would Qi Yue dare not even say 'auntie' directly.

"You girl, you are used to making people happy."

The Empress Dowager Xi Jing always only shuts herself in the Shoukang Palace and submerges herself in the Buddha's mind. She seldom pays attention to the outside affairs, and she never gets involved in the important affairs of the court.No matter who he faces, he always seems to be indifferent.If it wasn't for the selection of a concubine for King Jin this time, I am afraid that so many people would not have been called into the palace.

Therefore, when the Empress Dowager smiled happily at Qi Yue, everyone present had doubts in their hearts, whether the Empress Dowager was going to protect the Marquis of Changning.

After all, ever since Changning Hou's Mansion and Taifu's Mansion resigned from their marriage, all kinds of bad luck have followed one after another.Today's Changning Marquis Mansion is just an empty shell.

But if the Empress Dowager lends a helping hand at this time, then...
Qi Yue's heart was even more joyful, the Empress Dowager smiled lovingly at her just now.Does this prove that the Empress Dowager intends to help the Marquis of Changning restore its former splendor?

Thinking of this, Qi Yue smiled even brighter, and even took two steps forward, tentatively asking the Queen Mother:
"Grandma, why don't Yue'er accompany you around in a while?"

The queen mother still smiled kindly: "Of course my old lady can't walk anymore, you young people don't pay attention to me, just go and have a look around."

"Grandma, Yue'er."

Qi Yue still wanted to have a few words with the Queen Mother, but was interrupted by Mother Wen who was beside the Queen Mother: "These chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are specially taken care of by the Queen Mother for ladies and ladies to watch. The empress dowager said, everyone can look at it freely, don't be too cautious."

"Yes, thank you, Empress Dowager."

After thanking everyone, they all went to enjoy the flowers together in twos and threes.Na Lanfu followed behind Shi Junman and carefully admired the flowers among the flowers, then waited for the 'retribution' to happen.

Qi Yue couldn't tell what the Queen Mother was thinking for a while, and he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only go to the flower garden full of thoughts.

Seeing Qi Yue walk away, Nanny Wen sighed and shook her head again:

"The Queen Mother hasn't had much contact with the Marquis of Changning for so many years, and it's actually for their sake. But looking at Princess Qi Yue's appearance now, they clearly don't know your painstaking efforts, Queen Mother."

The queen mother took the Buddhist beads on her wrist and touched them in her palm, her tone was calm:
"Qi Meng, you are too ambitious. If you don't know how to restrain yourself, I'm afraid the wealth and honor of the Marquis of Changning will come to an end."

At the end of the gravel path in the imperial garden, a man in a black brocade robe appeared, and the eyes of the noble ladies who were admiring the flowers were drawn away at once.

I saw that he was shaking a folding fan in his hand, raised his bony hands and left the dark hair on his chest behind his head.

It wasn't until he got close that Na Lanfu could see his face clearly.

A pair of slender peach blossom eyes are shining brightly, and there is a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, showing a personable temperament.

"My son came late, and I asked my mother to punish me."

The gentle voice fascinated the noble ladies present so that their eyes almost bleed out.

The Empress Dowager's indifferent eyes finally changed slightly, she smiled and waved Xiao Yi to sit on her lower seat, and then said angrily:

"You skinny monkey, if the Ai family really dares to blame you, you won't have to wear your mouth and hold on to the Ai family for a while?"

Xiao Yi put away the folding fan and pretended to be innocent: "The empress is used to teasing my son. This son is a handsome young man, why is he more delicate than the girl in the boudoir in the mother's mouth?"

For as long as the queen mother chatted with Xiao Yi, the eyes of those noble ladies lingered on Xiao Yi for as long as possible.

It should be said that in this capital, the current emperor tops the list of beauty with his good looks like a heavenly man.But how many people have seen it with their own eyes?

Naturally, the easy-going and personable King Jin is more likely to get close.

The Empress Dowager naturally noticed the eager eyes of those noble ladies, covered her lips and said with a smile:
"Okay, you are also a smart kid, you should know why Aijia organized such a situation today."

"Mother."

Xiao Yi wanted to struggle a few more times, but was stopped by the Queen Mother with a wave: "You are also a double tenth person now. Men and children from ordinary families can start school at this age, but you are still a loner. Ai family indulges you like this Having not urged you for many years has already given you enough freedom! Don't waste all the painstaking efforts of Aijia."

Xiao Yi didn't speak, but looked at the queen mother aggrievedly, that small appearance was more lethal than not speaking.

The queen mother was uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she had no choice but to lose.

"All right, all right, go get acquainted with someone who has a good eye, it's okay if the Ai family doesn't force you, right?"

Xiao Yi almost seamlessly returned to his suave and suave appearance at the beginning, and stood up neatly:
"I heard that Miss Nalan, the daughter of the Grand Tutor's family, has become very famous recently, and my son wants to see it."
