Chapter 207 The Concubine's Invitation 2
With her son's mischievous company, Si Jin felt that parting was not so unbearable.Then, in order not to let Xiao Qi be fascinated by the wild flowers, she decided to start writing family letters!

In the first letter from the family, Si Jin complained that her son's various hairs were exactly the same as him, and at the end, Si Jin wrote it cheekily, remembering to miss me every day!
Xiao Qi's reply was much slower, when Si Jin received Xiao Qi's first reply, the noble concubine's snow feast was not completed, this time there was a flower feast, with white snow and cold plum blossoms, what a beautiful scene.

Then, Aunt Hua, who was beside the imperial concubine, came to invite Si Jin in person. Looking at the invitation, Si Jin felt that it was very hot.

With a gentle smile, Aunt Hua glanced at the chubby white prince on the big couch, she was not unenvious in her heart, if Princess Yuzhen was a prince, she wouldn't be as beautiful as Concubine Xi.Seeing Concubine Xi's hesitation, she immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty is thinking that the rare plum blossoms will bloom well, and there is no better entertainment in the cold winter and snowy land, so this flower banquet will be lively and lively."

Although Si Jin didn't know what the imperial concubine was planning, but asking Aunt Hua to deliver the invitation in person was already a great honor to her.Although Si Jin is not willing to get involved in these things, sometimes it is a mistake for others to give you shame and to step on the ground yourself.

After hesitating for a while, Si Jin smiled and said, "Since this is the case, I will bother the imperial concubine with a glass of water and wine."

Aunt Hua breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Concubine Xi agreed, she talked with her for a while before getting up to leave.

Aunt Jiang sent Aunt Hua away and came back. It seemed that the master took one look, but hesitated to speak.Yun Shang was taking a few little palace servants to unpick and wash the eldest prince's bedding, and the room next door was bustling with activity, Si Jin looked at Aunt Jiang and said directly: "Just speak up if you have something to say."

After all, Aunt Jiang was a latecomer, and she wasn't too relaxed at first. After listening to what the master said, she smiled and said: "The servant wants to let the servant accompany you on the day when the mother attends the banquet."

Si Jin didn't ask why, but nodded directly, "Well, I also have the same meaning, Yunshang will stay to take care of the eldest prince, I don't feel relieved to hand it over to someone else, I will work hard for you then."

"Servants don't dare to say it's hard work for master." Aunt Jiang said hastily. Before leaving, the emperor ordered her to take good care of Master Xi. Naturally, she dared not neglect. "My maidservant first go and find out who the concubine and empress have invited to the flower viewing banquet, and see if I can find out some specific things, so I can be prepared when the time comes."

In the past, these tasks were all done by Yunshang, but now that there is an aunt in charge, Aunt Jiang has taken over.Yunshang was in a good mood and had no intention of fighting Aunt Jiang at all. Si Jin also understood that this had a lot to do with Aunt Jiang being sent directly by Xiao Qi.But whether she can stand on her side or not depends on Aunt Jiang's own wrist.

This flower viewing feast is probably the first stop for Aunt Jiang to stay on her feet.

With Si Jin's nod, Aunt Jiang acted quickly.And this time, Si Jin finally saw clearly what Aunt Jiang was capable of. Before it was dark, she actually managed to find out about the matter.It can be seen from this that Aunt Jiang's connections in the palace are far stronger than those of Chen De'an and Yunshang. Inquiring about news is a test of a person's wrist and connections.

"...All the concubines have received invitations from the imperial concubine, and the servants feel that this is a bit different." After all, you have to be honored by the fifth rank or above to greet the queen, but this time the imperial concubine set The banquet actually invited all the people who could be invited in the palace.

Si Jin also frowned, looked at Aunt Jiang and said, "What news did you hear?"

"Besides, the empress didn't express any attitude towards this, and the slaves also felt a little strange. So many concubines were invited to a banquet, not to mention meals and drinks, so many people gathered together. A difficult thing."

Si Jin nodded thoughtfully, looked at Aunt Jiang and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Aunt Jiang glanced at the master hesitantly, and then she made up her mind and said: "This servant thinks that this should be the imperial concubine who wants to win over people in the harem, especially those with low status and high family background. People from Huan Palace. Now that the imperial concubine has handed over the ladder, it is also an opportunity for them."

In this Nuoda harem, high-ranking concubines want to stand out and gain favor with the emperor.However, low-ranking concubines need to be favored in front of high-ranking concubines, and being recommended by high-ranking concubines is also a means for them to appear in front of the imperial court.

Si Jin totally despises such methods. As a modern person, I really can't agree with this method of introducing other women to her man's obsession.But in the harem, this is a very effective shortcut.

For example, Li Zhaoyi, Concubine Yugui and the former Jin Jieyu are all successful examples, and even Si Jin is an even more successful example.

She was single-handedly recommended by the empress and she was successfully favored. She was also an inspirational legend who had been favored for many years and gave birth to the eldest prince.

Although Si Jin really didn't want to be that benchmark, but undoubtedly in this harem, because of her miracle, it has become a trend for low-ranking concubines to want to stand out and attach themselves to high-ranking concubines.

Aunt Jiang's words still have some truth, but Si Jin tends to think that the noble concubine held this banquet to show everyone her majesty as a noble concubine, and secondly, it probably has something to do with Xiao Qi's going south.

No matter what, even Si Jin in Longtan and Tiger's Cave had to go there to see what the noble concubine wanted to do.What's more, under the watchful eyes of everyone at this banquet, the imperial concubine would not do anything that would be criticized if she cared about her face.

On the day of the flower viewing banquet, Si Jin thought about it, she was now the number one favorite concubine in the harem of the Dayu Dynasty, although there were still virtuous concubines, noble concubines and others in her position, she could not lose her momentum.Xiaobaihua's skills should be used where they can be used. On such occasions, if you pretend to be Xiaobaihua, is it to make everyone feel that you are not on the stage?

What kind of clothes should the beloved concubine wear to shock the audience?

Si Jin suddenly remembered that when winter came, among the boxes of presents that Xiao Qi threw at her, there seemed to be a Cuiyun Qiu.So he called Yunshang to open the box to get the clothes, and sure enough, he found them. When Yunshang took them out, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Cuiyun Qiu" is woven with peacock feathers and kingfisher feathers, both of which are extremely rare, not to mention how many bird feathers it takes to weave this Cuiyun Qiu, which shows how precious it is .And under the sunlight, the emerald cloud fur looks the same color when viewed from the front, the same color when viewed from the side, the same color in the middle of the day, and the same color in the shadow.It is said that "all the shapes of birds can be seen".

Wearing such a cloak on her body is indeed an excellent display of the prestige of being wealthy and pampering concubines.

Si Jin was very satisfied, and really liked this cloak, it was stylish and warm.

Xiao Qi is no longer in the palace, and Si Jin has no shelter from the wind and snow, so she has to face the visible and invisible struggles in the harem alone.In this case, she can no longer hide her clumsiness like before, always pretending to be a little white flower, otherwise others will think that she is really easy to bully, and everyone will step up and step on her. This kind of feeling is not good.

The venue for the banquet was chosen in the Plum Palace near the plum grove in the imperial garden. The imperial concubine sent invitations to all the people in the palace with great generosity.Except for those who were sick and couldn't get up, they basically gave the imperial concubine face to come to the banquet.

Wang Jingyun arrived early. Although she is a nobleman of the sixth rank, she has the highest status among this group of beautiful girls who entered the palace except Qiao Lingyi, but she still dare not trust her on such a day. Come to Meidian early.

She was born with gentle eyebrows, and her temperament has always been known to be gentle. At this time, she was dressed in a pale blue palace dress, which made her gentle and elegant, with a kind of questioning that was indifferent to the world.

She stayed alone in a corner quietly, quietly looking at the more and more people in the hall, suddenly her eyes darkened, and when she looked up again, she saw Li Yunxiu with a cold face appearing in front of her eyes.The corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he looked at her and said softly, "You're here too."

Li Yunxiu looked at Wang Jingyun and nodded gently, with a rare trace of gentleness between her faint brows and eyes, "I just arrived." After speaking, he sat down opposite, and swept his eyes lightly in the hall. The concubine has not arrived yet.

"I've heard that Concubine Xi will also come over. I don't know if it's true or not?" Wang Jingyun said, her eyes fell on the direction of the door, where the most people gathered.

Li Yunxiu paused for a while while holding up the teacup, looked at her and said, "Who told you that?"

"When I came in, I overheard someone mention something." Wang Jingyun lowered her head halfway, "It is said that Aunt Hua, who is next to the imperial concubine, personally sent the invitation."

Li Yunxiu's face was still calm, and it took a while before he said: "The Hall of Heyi is not something ordinary people can go to."

There is a palace gate across there, but it has become a natural moat that they cannot easily cross. Only that woman can live happily, so close to the emperor.

"The imperial concubine is here!"

"Concubine Mei is here!"

"Concubine Qu is here!"

"Look for Li Zhaoyi!"

With a sound of promises, all the people in the hall bowed and bowed to salute, and the hula-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-sha-la-la-ha-la-la-la--sha-throw crowd in one fell swoop by half.

Just when Wang Jingyun half raised her head, she heard another voice, "Miss Concubine Xi is here!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, needle drop could be heard, breathing could be seen, she just felt a woman in a high bun and gorgeous dress stepping into the hall in the sunlight of a burst of colorful light at the door.

Everyone's breathing seemed to have stopped for a moment, and their eyes fell on the dress on Concubine Xi almost at the same time.

It takes thousands of feathers to become a piece of "Cuiyun fur"!
At this moment, everyone realized the fact that the beloved concubine in their hearts, who was almost indisputable in the world, seemed a little different from the legend.
