Chapter 885
Feng Qing's heart shuddered.
I don't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that Concubine Sang's eyes fell on her after she entered the palace.
She couldn't look up.
It was only at this time that Feng Qing realized how terrifying the feudal imperial power was. If her husband had not been standing in front of her, she might not have been able to survive here.
Feng Qing missed his mother Fang Zheng even more.
Here Feng Qing was thinking about Fang Zheng, and from above, the empress's smiling voice came, "Sister, why are you so early today?"
Concubine Sang's favor in the palace was unique. Although the emperor was a wise king, in the harem, as long as Concubine Sang did not do anything that violated his taboos, he was happy to indulge her willfulness.
This is also the privilege of being an emperor.
In the past, except when other countries came to pay their respects, Concubine Sang would always be late to any banquets, big or small, not to mention the various banquets held by the Queen herself. Anyone who could reveal her identity, Concubine Sang would always be the best.
The special one.
Today, Concubine Sang came earlier than expected.
Feng Qing and several ladies came to greet him one after another.
The Empress glanced past Feng Qing and the other princesses whose expressions changed slightly in the palace. With a smile on her lips, she ordered the maids beside her, "Hurry up and give the imperial concubine her favorite Junshan Silver Leaf."
Concubine Sang congratulated the queen on her health, and said in a neither salty nor cool tone, "I have met the queen, and I feel much better today. Why don't I come here early to ask for a cup of tea with the queen."
"Since you like it so much, after the banquet, I will ask Qingluan to give my sister a pound. The emperor just rewarded me with two pounds." The Queen smiled generously.
There was still no joy on Concubine Sang's face. She twitched the corner of her mouth, half-smiling, "Then I'll thank you first, my concubine."
"Oh, you see, I was only talking to my sister, but I forgot about Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang. Don't blame me, you two. In fact, I and my sister have always been like sisters, so it's inevitable
Say a few more words." She didn't seem to care about the disrespect of the imperial concubine. The smile on the Queen's face did not diminish. She raised her hand and said, "Look at your seat."
Fang Zheng is now the Prime Minister on the right, and the seats of Fang Jiang and Feng Qing have been assigned to Mrs. Sun's lower left position.
"This is Lord Fang's beloved wife?" Concubine Sang raised her eyebrows and fixed her gaze on Feng Qing's face.
Concubine Sang's voice was not as clear as that of women nowadays. Instead, it was slightly hoarse and deep. I don't know what others thought, but to Feng Qing's ears, Concubine Sang's voice was really nice.
In the words of later generations, it is magnetic.
But what was completely different from Feng Qing's favorite voice was the connotation behind the concubine's words.
In later generations, the word "beautiful wife" can be used as a word of praise, but in this great industry, there are only concubines, and it is rare to call Zheng Shi a "beautiful wife". Concubine Sang wanted to belittle Feng Qing in front of everyone.
Fang Zheng had always protected her well, and Feng Qing had never felt the resentment and aggrievedness caused by the status gap so deeply as she did today. She took a deep breath, suppressed the displeasure in her heart, stood up, and faced Concubine Sang again.
Blessed and blessed, he replied, "I have seen the noble concubine."
Concubine Sang picked up the tea cup and lightly touched the cup with the lid. She did not drink the tea, but ordered in a leisurely manner, "I heard that Master Fang's wife is amazingly beautiful. Master Fang has always protected her in the backyard, and few people have seen her."
Now, even if there is a lady in the palace who wants to meet her, she can't. It's thanks to His Majesty that I can see Mrs. Fang today."
After a pause, Concubine Sang put down the tea cup, and the cup holder touched the mahogany coffee table lightly, making a crisp sound, "I have to take a good look at it today. I don't know when Sir Fang will be able to let go next time."
These words are Chi Guoguo's explicit and implicit sarcasm.
Even Fang Jiang, who was illiterate, sensed something was wrong. She was about to speak, but Feng Qing held her hand down. Feng Qing winked at Fang Jiang, then raised her head generously and replied: "The imperial concubine is joking.
Well, my wife feels that she is shallow and vulgar, and is far inferior to the ladies in Kyoto. That’s why I don’t want to go out."
"Hey, this is strange." Concubine Sang straightened up and stared at Feng Qing. After a moment, she relaxed again and leaned on the soft chair. Her tone was colder than before, "Mrs. Fang, please don't take it for granted."
Qian, you have no virtue, just with this appearance, you can make all the young ladies in Kyoto feel ashamed."
These words not only belittled Feng Qing, but also stepped on all the ladies and ladies in Kyoto.
"The imperial concubine is joking. In terms of appearance, my wife is definitely not as good as the imperial concubine." Feng Qing's lips were still smiling, and her words were gentle and nice.
As soon as she finished speaking, except for the Queen, the expressions of everyone in the palace changed. Even the two princesses looked away and did not dare to say anything.
Snapped--
Concubine Sang slapped the table beside her.
There was finally anger on her face, "Bold!"
Feng Qing looked puzzled. She faced Concubine Sang, but she was still neither humble nor overbearing. "I am stupid. I don't know that I offended the concubine with those words. I will make amends to the concubine."
"Sister, don't be upset." Seeing Concubine Sang's face covered with frost, the empress finally spoke out after seeing the excitement, "Sister, since my sister praised Mrs. Fang's beauty and courtesy, Mrs. Fang naturally wanted to praise her too.
Those who praise my sister, and in my opinion, my sister deserves this praise."
Concubine Sang turned around and looked at the queen.
This stupid woman couldn't understand her taunts. How could the queen who had been fighting with her for many years be confused too?
She was just using this stupid woman to mock her.
In terms of family background, her Sang family is even better than the Queen's natal family, and in terms of means, she is not inferior either. The Qi family just took advantage of the original role of serving the dragon.
Concubine Sang's chest kept rising and falling. She couldn't say anything to the queen in person, so she could only turn her gaze to Feng Qing again, and her tone was so cold that she could almost drop ice shards.
"Mrs. Fang's sharp tongue is worthy of being a member of Mr. Fang's family." Concubine Sang glared at Feng Qing fiercely, "It's just that Mrs. Fang probably still lacks knowledge. I kindly praise Mrs. Fang, but it's fine if Mrs. Fang doesn't appreciate it.
Instead, she mocked me, I think Mrs. Fang must have failed to learn my great virtues of respect and humility."
Concubine Sang sneered, "Why don't I personally teach Mrs. Fang what the three obediences and four virtues are, and what dignity and inferiority are."
Concubine Sang said in a deep voice: "It's a coincidence that I brought the "Internal Training" and "Female Commandments" this time. This "Internal Training" was originally used to teach the concubines in the palace, but Mrs. Fang came to Xinhe today.
Palace, let’s copy it together.”
Feng Qing was shocked by Concubine Sang's shamelessness. When she saw the queen actually carrying these two books, she said they were not meant for her, but Feng Qing didn't believe it.
