There were so many courtiers attending the banquet that no matter how big the pavilion was, there was no room for them. Master Cao reluctantly sat on the edge of the pavilion, while Miss Dou and her family could only line up outside the pavilion.

Cao Jinxiu glanced at Miss Dou contemptuously.

So what if you are on good terms with Feng Qing?

I didn’t see her being able to help you sit in the pavilion.

Miss Dou originally stretched her head to see where Feng Qing was sitting, but accidentally met Cao Jinxiu's eyes.

Miss Dou thought it was funny. What would happen if you entered the pavilion? It was brightly lit and looked at by so many people. It was not fun to have a snack, so it was better to sit outside.

Feng Qing also had the same idea as Miss Dou.

It wasn't that she didn't feel that she was having a great time sitting in the pavilion, but she felt that the pavilion was full of rouge, gouache, food and snacks, plus the smell of wine and the fragrance of flowers outside. The smell was not unpleasant, but it was also uncomfortable.

.

Feng Qing covered his nose with the handkerchief again.

"Madam, do you feel unwell?" Under the table, Fang Zheng first touched Feng Qing's hand. It was not cold, and then he felt her pulse. It was also steady and strong. Fang Zheng was still worried, and he said: "My husband comes first.

Take your wife out for a walk?"

"Ms. sir, no need." Feng Qing grabbed Fang Zheng's hand and slowly slipped his fingers into his. The two of them intertwined their fingers. Feng Qing used the veil to cover up and whispered: "The emperor hasn't spoken yet, so go out like this."

not good."

"A woman's body is the most important thing." Fang Zheng tapped the back of Feng Qing's hand with his finger, "The emperor will not blame my husband for such a trivial matter."

"It's not that I feel bad." Feng Qing still refused. Even if the emperor didn't say anything, with so many pairs of eyes looking at him, Feng Qing didn't want anyone to talk behind Fang Zheng's back again after tonight.

The two of them leaned close together, which was eye-catching after all.

"I heard that Mrs. Fang has great embroidery skills and she was once an embroiderer. Did she embroider the plum blossoms on Mrs. Fang's handkerchief herself?" With the emperor's special care, Concubine Sang remembered her frustration with Feng Qingshi just now.

She is the emperor's bedfellow. Who is Feng Qing, a village girl?

When her name was called, Feng Qing raised her eyes. She looked at the handkerchief in her hand and replied more respectfully than before, "Back to the noble concubine, this handkerchief was given by an elder in the family."

Feng Qing did not lie. She said she was pregnant. Not only Fang Zheng, but also Fang Jiang and Aunt Jin forbade her from touching needlework again.

According to Ms. Fang and Jiang, the first pregnancy is easier. With the second child, the body is heavier and more easily tired than with the first child. Apart from walking around the yard every day, the Fang family does not allow Feng Qing to do any work.

Concubine Sang only thought that Feng Qing was lying, "Didn't I hear that Mrs. Fang had severed ties with her natal family long ago? Where did the elders come from? Could it be that Mrs. Fang embroidered it?"

Mr. Fang Jiang has rough hands and feet, and at first glance it is obvious that he is not capable of doing such delicate work.

Feng Qing sneered inwardly, this Concubine Sang might have found out her details.

Daye attaches great importance to filial piety, but the married girl actually severed ties with her natal family. No matter what the reason, the world will only criticize and blame this married girl. Your natal family has raised you for so many years, and it is also the foundation for you to gain a foothold in your husband's family. Now you

As soon as he became a first-class imperial concubine, he severed ties with his natal family.

What is this if not a white-eyed wolf?

Others will not investigate why Feng Qing severed ties with the Feng family and when he severed ties. They will only complete the story of Feng Qing's unfilial piety based on their own conjectures.

Concubine Sang also thought about it. She was telling the truth, but she was thinking about the world. What did it have to do with her?

Before Fang Zheng spoke, Feng Qing held his hand firmly and signaled him not to speak.

This matter is a quarrel between women. If Fang Zheng stands up for Feng Qing, I am afraid that a few ladies will think that he is a good man who takes his wife into consideration. Most people will think that Fang Zheng actually had a dispute with the woman.

I'm afraid that his reputation is in vain and he is not as stable and talented as the rumors say.

As soon as Concubine Sang finished speaking, everyone around her looked over, and even the emperor raised his eyebrows.

It was not that he was curious about Feng Qing's life experience. Before he decided to reuse Fang Zheng, the emperor had already found out the Fang family's ancestors for several generations. The emperor certainly knew about the Feng family's troubles.

Even if Daye values ​​filial piety and the emperor is a wise king, he will not blindly punish Feng Qing for severing ties with the Feng family.

What surprised the emperor was how could the imperial concubine know about this?

The emperor is fair and strict, but he is also a controlling monarch. He wants to have all the affairs of the previous dynasty under control. As for the harem, the emperor has always been confident and is sure that the concubines in the harem are stable and knowledgeable, but there are a few dishonest ones.

, the queen can easily deal with people, and the emperor has not explored much about the harem in recent years.

Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine actually extended her hand to the front court.

The emperor didn't believe that the imperial concubine only checked Mrs. Fang's background because she felt sorry for Mrs. Fang.

After all, he had been the emperor for decades. The emperor calmly took a sip of wine.

The moment Concubine Sang opened her mouth, the queen sat down like an old monk, looking at her nose and heart. As for what she was thinking, no one knew.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for caring about my wife and her family." After changing her previous confrontation with Concubine Sang, Feng Qing was as gentle as a dodder flower. She lowered her head and replied softly, "As for this matter,

It’s a long story, if your concubine is willing to listen to my wife’s nagging, I will tell you in detail after the banquet. It’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my wife is guilty. She shouldn’t delay the emperor and the queen’s moon cake viewing due to some family matters.”

Feng Qing's move was so powerful that Concubine Sang almost threw the hot tea in her hand onto Feng Qing's face.

Concubine Sang, who considers herself to be a straightforward person, hates such pretentious women the most, especially Feng Qingshu, who has such an unparalleled beauty that she can't help but be frail and gentle, which makes men become soft-hearted.

Concubine Sang glanced at the emperor secretly. Fortunately, the emperor didn't seem to notice Feng Qing's pretentiousness.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was not an impatient person, and he would not have any other thoughts about his wife. At this moment, Concubine Sang felt a little regretful. She was impulsive. She originally said those words to let people know that Feng Qing

This is an unfilial person. If you want to interact with him, you need to be careful.

But she should never say it in front of the emperor.

Concubine Sang reacted and her face turned pale suddenly, "Your Majesty, I have overstepped my bounds. I know I was wrong."

Arguing is most useless at this time.

In front of the civil and military ministers of the dynasty and their families, the emperor naturally could not blame Concubine Sang, but his voice was colder after all, "It's good that the concubine knows her mistake and goes back to the queen to receive the punishment."

"Yes." Concubine Sang trembled, but there was no trace of blood on her face.

The emperor did not mention the matter between Feng Qing and the Feng family again, and Feng Qing naturally would not talk about it again. She held Fang Zheng's hand tightly, after all she was a little worried, fearing to cause trouble to Fang Zheng.
