Chapter 399 Birthday Banquet

"What do you want this plum blossom for?" Feixue took the plum blossom and put it in her palm.

Nalan Ying looked at the bright red petals, with some plain white at the bottom, which looked very beautiful.

"Your Majesty, what do you want these petals for?" Qiuyue asked with a puzzled expression.

"Look!" Nalan Ying smiled slightly, and put the five petals on the center of her eyebrows, and her bright little face became even more lively.

"It's so beautiful!" Feixue was almost stunned, and it took a long time before she clapped her hands in praise.

"Call in those girls who are performing catwalk shows, and put a plum blossom between their brows later, and let them wear veils to come out!" Nalan Ying said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, can this plum blossom stick between the eyebrows?" Qiuyue looked at it strangely and asked suspiciously.

"The petals have their own humidity. If they stick to the face and connect with the warm skin, they will only fit better and won't fall off!" Nalan Ying said carefully drawing the five petals.

"Niang Niang, you are so beautiful like this!" Qiuyue praised from the bottom of her heart.

"Girl Qiuyue, you're the only one with a sweet mouth!" Nalanying smiled and glanced at her, looking at Nalanying in the mirror who had faded from her greenness and became charming, especially the plum blossom between her eyebrows, which looked more like Let her have the coldness of plum blossoms on her body, making people not angry at first sight, exuding a brilliance that cannot be ignored.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, ladies have already entered the palace one after another!" A little palace maid came in to report.

"Okay, I'm going out now!" Nalan Ying responded, and then chose a goose yellow floor-length dress, and walked out with the support of Qiuyue and Feixue.

The birthday banquet was held in Ruyi Residence on the side of Zhaohe Hall. The banquet this time was not intended to be extravagant. However, because the new emperor ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager wanted to show the new emperor's filial piety to her and also to win over the officials in the court. That's why the banquet was arranged, and all officials of all ranks in the capital participated in the banquet, so this banquet was unprecedentedly grand.

Just after dawn, the whole Ruyiju became busy. The Nuan Pavilion was divided into men and women. There was a long corridor in the middle, and the corridor led to a high platform, which was arranged by Nalanying today. The performance stage of the catwalk show.

The Empress Dowager was arranged on the table closest to the stage. At this time, before the people arrived, all kinds of equipment had already been placed on it. Although it was busy, it was not chaotic. Under the dispatch of the manager, it proceeded in an orderly manner.

"Concubine Ying is here!" Someone shouted, and Director Du, who was standing busy in the arena, quickly bowed and ran towards her.

"My slave has seen Concubine Ying!" Director Du saluted Nalan Ying with sweat on his face.

"Boss Du, thank you!" Nalan Ying said with a smile.

"The slave's duties, the kindness that the empress showed to the slave last night, the slave will never forget!" Director Du said with moist eyes.

"What Director Du said was not your fault in the first place, so why should you care about it!" Nalan Ying said with a smile.

Director Du knew in his heart that although Nalan Ying was saying that this matter was not his fault, however, accompanying the emperor in the palace is like accompanying a tiger, the so-called emperor let his ministers die, he had to die, if that Wang Sihai insisted on investigating his fault yesterday , he can't escape death, even if it's not his fault, but he can't avoid being asked to take the blame for Feng Yanli.

"The empress is sympathetic to the servant, and the servant will remember it in his heart. In the future, he will faithfully obey the order of the empress, and will go through fire and water, no matter what!" Director Du said in a deep voice.

Nalan Ying didn't expect that her small action would make Director Du show his loyalty to her, and she suddenly felt that the banquet last night was not without fruit.

The breeze blew, and bursts of fragrant flowers came, and I saw that the two sides of the promenade were already filled with rich and noble peonies, and each plant was blooming with clusters of bright flowers, which were obviously carefully selected and bloomed so beautifully. The flowers make people feel good when they look at them, and they have taken great pains.

"Director Du, I am very satisfied with your arrangement, how do you reward you?" Nalan Ying narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"The servant doesn't ask for any rewards, but only wants to serve the empress!" Director Du said with lowered eyes.

"After today, I will leave the position of chief steward in this palace to you!" Nalan Ying said lightly.

Director Du's heart skipped a beat, and when he heard her say that, he quickly said, "How can you be a slave?"

"What can you do without He De, as long as you are willing to listen to me, you will be the steward in this palace!" Nalan Ying said seriously.

"The slave must serve the empress wholeheartedly!" Director Du expressed his determination vigorously.

Nalan Ying nodded, seeing that the time was almost up, one after another small sedan chairs were brought in from outside, and she slowly led Master Du to the door of Ruyiju.

The old lady of the Li family came outside. She came in with the support of her grandson Li Shaoao. She was wearing a blue double-breasted long skirt with a high collar, and her face, which was somewhat similar to the empress dowager, seemed to be faint. I hide my thoughts.

"Lao Madam Li is here to see you!" A courtesy officer had long shouted and announced to the inside.

At this time, the Empress Dowager, the birthday star, was also accompanied by Empress Mo, and she was walking slowly. She was wearing a phoenix crown, and the top of the phoenix crown was inlaid with sky-high sapphires, shining brightly in the morning light.

"I've met the Empress Dowager!" As soon as everyone saw her coming, they attached themselves to salute her, and Nalan Ying also bowed to her.

"Get up!" The empress dowager, who was the birthday star, was in a particularly good mood, and even her usually stern voice softened.

"You came so early today?" The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on Mrs. Li's face, with a little joy.

"No, it's just dawn, let Shao Ao clean up quickly, this is the top priority!" Mrs. Li took a step forward and looked at her respectfully.

"I have a heart!" The Empress Dowager took her hand, and the two sisters walked towards the Nuan Pavilion beside each other.

Nalan Ying also followed them and walked towards the inside, suddenly stopped when she saw the people from Nalan Mansion who came after them.

"Old Madam Nalan is here!" the ceremony official shouted, and saw Nalan Madam wearing imperial clothes, walked in with the support of Nalan Rou.

Nalan Rou was beside Mrs. Nalan, she looked up and saw Nalan Ying, her face froze, her eyes tried her best to hide the wanton hatred, and she turned to look at Mrs. Nalan beside her.

The old lady also saw Nalan Ying, and this was the first time she met Nalan Ying since she became the emperor's favorite concubine.
