Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 96 Please enter the urn and wait for the show

Although the dishes arranged for the dinner were sumptuous, everyone present was used to it. What they cared more about was the emperor's attitude towards His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness's actions.

Although the capital seemed to be calm and peaceful, there was an undercurrent turbulent, which even foreign ministers like them who were far away from the capital could feel.

The relationship between Li Guogong and the noble concubine's party is close, and it is no surprise that they will definitely support the fourth prince, and the fourth prince is very popular with the emperor.The power of the noble concubine in the harem is at its peak. If there is no accident, she is likely to be the future queen, No. 1 in the harem.

Although many aristocratic families do not look down on the noble concubine who was born in a small family, but at present she and the fourth prince are the most sacred, and the elder brother of the noble concubine is also quite trusted by the emperor. Absolutely no evil.

His Royal Highness was dispatched to such a remote place, and almost everyone in the world could clearly see the emperor's attitude.But what they need to know now is the prince's attitude.

However, to the disappointment of everyone present, Feng Jun didn't show any enthusiasm or move to win people's hearts.Whether it was those who really wanted to stand on the prince's side or those who wanted to find out the prince's mistakes, they did not receive any relevant information from Feng Jun.

The dinner was just a small part of the welcome banquet. After removing the dishes that almost no one had touched, some dancers dressed in unique styles stepped forward to perform dances.

From time to time, everyone peeked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess who were sitting on the main seat, but found that the Crown Princess was watching with great interest the dancing posture of the foreign girl Miaoman who was wearing a light gauze robe and showing her arms and waist.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince next to him didn't even look at the group of women. Instead, he took a passion fruit from the fruit plate next to him, and carefully peeled off the skin of the passion fruit, and then peeled off the delicate, white and tender flesh. Take it out petal by petal, put it on the crystal plate next to it, wait until the pulp in the plate has piled up into a hill, then push it to the princess's hand: "Li'er, your favorite passion fruit."

Hearing this, Su Qing raised the corners of her lips and smiled slightly: "The prince has a heart." After finishing speaking, she stretched out her pale jade finger and twisted a piece of flesh, took a bite, and then sighed: "Zhangzhou is the origin of passion fruit. Now it happens to be the season of this fruit again, and the taste is much better than those sent to the capital."

The two came and went, chatting and chatting, the words were harmonious, and they were very affectionate.

Xiao Zhu also sat calmly on the seat below, lowering his eyes slightly to look at the fruit plate and wine cup in front of him, as if he felt that the things on the table were more attractive than the beautiful dancer in front of him.

Contrary to his indifference and calmness, the rest of the people were almost restless.

They didn't understand His Highness the Crown Prince's meaning, they neither ignored them nor wooed them, and they didn't seem to care about being sent to this desolate place by the emperor.Are you really indifferent or are you pretending to be calm?

Several people below exchanged glances, Tang Bin shook his head imperceptibly, signaling to everyone not to move rashly.

Feng Jun's attitude is ambiguous, and they can't mess themselves up.No matter how you look at it, they have an advantage as local snakes now.

After the dance, Feng Jun didn't say anything, Su Qing said "reward" lightly, and there was no more to say.This disappointed those who were waiting to see how the first fire of the new prince's new official was going to be lit.

Immediately afterwards, someone entered the banquet hall and set it up.

"Lord Xiao, I don't know what this is?" Tang Bin held back, but he still didn't hold back and opened his mouth first, but even though he turned his head to ask Xiao Zhu, the corner of his eye still locked on Feng Jun who was sitting on it.

Xiao Zhu said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty Tang doesn't know something. My wife once heard that the princess and concubine like to watch puppet shows, so I specially invited folk puppet artists to come and perform."

"A joke, it's so unrefined..." An official next to him received Tang Bin's eyes and immediately said with disdain.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Su Qing.

Su Qing sat on the seat with her face unchanged, her demeanor was elegant and calm: "It's rare that Sister Qin still remembers this idea of ​​this palace. Your Royal Highness, I will thank my sister on behalf of this palace later."

Feng Jun nodded, and naturally stretched out her hand to hold Su Qing's hand: "I will definitely reward you, but I am new here, and the treasury in the government has not yet been placed, so I don't know how to give a reward."

He didn't pay attention to the person who spoke casually just now, but he didn't seem to care about that person's rude interruption.

Although I have heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is a soft-tempered person who has been suppressed by the imperial concubine and the fourth prince for many years, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so everyone has to be skeptical of this rumor.Now seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince actually hinted to the people below to give gifts, many people put their hearts in their stomachs.

After all, more people still like a prince who doesn't care much than a strict superior.

"His Royal Highness, I just offended you, please forgive me. These are the sea pearls that I ordered from the East China Sea. They are only in the number of a dendrobium, but each pearl is as big as a cat's eye, and the color is clear, and it is worth thousands of gold. Your Highness is sympathetic to the filial piety of this humble minister." The minister who spoke just now hastily stepped forward to plead guilty, while the people around him came up with heavy trays.

"Oh?" Feng Jun laughed lazily, and gave the people around her a look.

The maid next to her was also clever, she went down and uncovered the brocade cloth on the tray, revealing a plate of round and huge pearls, which looked really valuable.

"Yeah, I'm really thinking about it, so I won't be polite." Feng Jun said, smiling slightly, and the maid beside her took the tray.

"His Royal Highness, I also got a treasure a few days ago, and I would like to ask His Royal Highness to appreciate it." Seeing that the first person's gift was not rejected, the second person immediately stepped forward to flatter him.

Feng Jun nodded, waved her hand casually, and that person also ordered someone to bring up the things she wanted to give.

This is a white horse carved from suet white jade. The jade horse is handsome and lifelike, and it is more than one foot tall. Its value is several times higher than that of the Dendrobium pearl just now.

Feng Jun smiled in satisfaction, and Jun's face softened a lot: "Who are you?"

"Weichen Tongcheng prefect He Yuangui." The skinny middle-aged man replied immediately.

Tongcheng, which is close to the prefectural city of Zhangzhou, is also within the jurisdiction of Zhangzhou. Last year, a booklet was delivered to the capital, saying that it encountered heavy rain and floods, the harvest was not good, and the tax revenue was [-]% lower than in previous years.

There was a dark light in Feng Jun's eyes that no one noticed, and the smile on his face was still calm. Except for Su Qing, who was close to him, who felt a little strange, the rest of the people were not aware of it.
