The evil king spoils the poisonous concubine

Chapter 75
When the prime minister's wife heard that her daughter had returned from hunting, she was in a hurry to visit, but when she saw Gong Feixue sleeping on the couch with her heart in her arms, she couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "But it's uncomfortable again? "

Gong Feixue dared to let her mother know that she was angry with Qin Wan, she only said that she was tired of dinner, so the prime minister's wife hurriedly asked someone to pour some twig tea for Gong Feixue to digest.

"The empress's birthday will be in a few days, what gift are you going to give this year?" Seeing that Gong Feixue was unhappy, the prime minister's wife thought of ways to tease her.The queen is Gong Feixue's biological aunt, and has always loved her very much. Every year at the Qianqiu birthday banquet, Gong Feixue would make her happy in different ways.

Gong Feixue suddenly remembered this important event.Usually, she would start preparing the birthday gift a month before the birthday banquet, but this year she was delayed by Qin Wan's matter, and she forgot about it.A few days ago, she fell ill in Fengyi Palace, and the queen's aunt was busy and worried about her, so she had to prepare a generous gift for her no matter what.

"Mother, my aunt is in the world. Of course gold, silver and jewelry are not rare. If there is any secret recipe to keep my aunt young forever, she must like it very much." Gong Feixue said after thinking.

The prime minister's wife also felt polite, so she hurriedly found her confidants to search among the people.Thinking of her aunt's joy when she received the gift, Gong Feixue felt better.

For the queen's birthday banquet, Xian Yumo always took it lightly, and Qin Wan only heard that Mingwan was going to the queen's palace for the banquet the night before.

"Why didn't your lord say so sooner? It's okay for me to prepare." Although Gong Feixue's slander made her feel a lot of embarrassment to the queen, but she is the daughter-in-law of the royal family after all, and she must have the courtesy she deserves.

Compared to Qin Wan's flurry of activities, Xian Yumo was much calmer. He already had a deep dislike for the queen, and the annual birthday banquet was just a formality for the sake of affection.

"Is there anything to prepare for? Then you just sit and listen to the music." He has already prepared the birthday gift, and Qin Wan can just present it when the time comes.

Qin Wan was noncommittal, but secretly cares about it in his heart.Since she and Xianyu Mo Baitang, this is the first time to attend a palace banquet, there must be many people paying attention to her, she must pay attention to every step, and she must not lose face to Prince Mo's residence.

In the evening of the next day, Qin Wan and Xian Yumo entered the decorated Fengyi Palace hand in hand.In front of the palace, there were already many princes and nobles with their families waiting for the Queen to summon them. As soon as Xian Yu Mo arrived, everyone greeted them one after another.

Qin Wan is wearing a concubine-colored dress today, with nothing else on her head except a gem-studded camellia, elegant and pure but still solemn, especially prominent among the festive and extraordinary female relatives in red and green.Coupled with her face like a peach blossom and her slim figure, everyone present envied Xian Yumo's beauty.

Not long after, the chief eunuch in charge of the Queen's Palace invited everyone to the main hall. The Queen in red palace attire walked slowly with the support of Gong Feixue, and sat down at the head seat. Gong Feixue stood aside, watching Xian Yumo, who came to the front of the crowd, couldn't help showing a shy smile on his face.

"I wish the empress a long life, good health, and a thousand years to come."

Everyone shouted for a thousand years, and the queen Fengyan was very happy, and thanked her repeatedly.She has been a queen for so many years, and the happiest thing is to accept the congratulations of everyone on her birthday, only at this time she has the feeling of motherhood.

After everyone celebrated their birthday, they divided into two groups. The female relatives stayed in the Empress Dowager's Palace to receive the banquet, while the male guests accompanied the emperor to watch songs and dances in Kuiyi Palace.

Qin Wan has a nanny specially assigned to her by Xian Yumo to instruct her on the rules of the palace banquet at this time, so even if Xian Yumo is not by her side, Qin Wan can handle it with ease.

"Auntie, this is a beauty-preserving recipe that my niece found from the folks. I hope my aunt's face will stay forever and her beauty will be immortal." Gong Feixue took the lead in presenting the birthday gift, holding a palm-sized jade box in her hand, kneeling at the queen's feet to respect respectfully said.

The queen was really hopeful, and helped Gong Feixue up herself: "Xue'er has a heart."

Seeing this scene, Qin Wan murmured in her heart, if she had known, she would not have replaced the birthday gift prepared by Xian Yumo.Xian Yumo prepared a coral tree out of nowhere. Although it was valuable, it lacked novelty, so Qin Wan discarded it and took the beauty cream she prepared. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Gong Feixue. It's time to find fault.

When it was the turn of King Mo's mansion to present the congratulatory gifts, Qin Wan presented the beauty cream in a black sandalwood box, and she saw Gong Feixue staring at her viciously, as if she was going to eat her raw.

Qin Wan sighed innocently, and was about to go down when she heard an imperial lady laughing, "I never thought that Princess Mo would be so thoughtful that she would go with Miss Gong, but I don't know how effective this beauty ointment is compared to the anti-aging ointment." ?”

"Yes, empress, may as well let us open our eyes to see which of the two is more to your liking." Another lady agreed.

They had been curious about Princess Mo for a long time, and seeing her take out a box of beauty cream of unknown origin, they all wanted to find out about her.

The queen was moved by the talk, and looked at Gong Feixue and Qin Wan with great interest: "What do you two think?"

It was inevitable that Gong Feixue felt conflicted, so Qin Wan immediately said humbly: "In terms of intentions, my concubine is naturally not as good as Miss Gong." But Gong Feixue sneered and said: "This prescription was found by my niece after a lot of hard work. Yes, it is said to have a miraculous effect, this time it is just a comparison with Princess Mo's prescription to see if it is true."

"Okay, then let someone bring two flowers, we see is believing." The Empress firmly believed in Gong Feixue, and immediately ordered.

The chief eunuch quickly found two roses in full bloom. The flowers were all fresh and charming, with dew on them, which was really gratifying.

The chief eunuch put the two flowers in two shallow bottles, then took a plaster of the same size from Gong Feixue's jade box and Qin Wan's wooden box, and wiped the petals of the two flowers from inside to place. Then lit a torch and placed it between the two bottles, allowing the two flowers to be roasted at the same distance from the torch.

Everyone stretched their necks secretly, hoping to see it more clearly. Gong Feixue also stared at the flower with the face cream for a moment, while Qin Wan was drinking tea nonchalantly, talking with Qi beside her. The princess laughed softly.

As time goes by, the petals of the roses that have been smeared with the face cream gradually turn yellow and wither, and the edges become scorched black.On the other hand, the flower that was smeared with the beauty cream was not affected at all, it was still bright and full of oil, and it seemed to be more beautiful than when it was first brought in.Gong Feixue's face became paler and paler, with tears in his eyes.

The result of the comparison was confirmed. Everyone was amazed at the miraculous effect of the beauty ointment, and the Queen's eyes on Qin Wan softened a lot.When Qin Wan presented this thing, she didn't take it seriously, and even planned to let the palace servants throw it away after everyone dispersed, but she didn't expect that the curative effect was amazing, even better than what Xue'er gave.

"Princess Mo has a heart, reward."

In previous years, only Gong Feixue was able to receive this reward, but this year's birthday gift would allow the newly-appeared Princess Mo to take the lead.Everyone looked at Qin Wan with admiration in their eyes, but Gong Feixue was anxious and angry, so she couldn't help but go to the side hall to rest first, to temporarily avoid the gloating eyes of the crowd.
