Wei Mingfeng did not go directly, but returned to Fengyi Palace first. After a while, Chunlan came back and said, "I heard that the queen invited Concubine Yu, Huo Zhaoyi, and several official ladies."
Thinking about it this way, she knew the Queen's intention, and she was probably already looking for a concubine for the First Prince.
She was no longer afraid of what the eldest prince had in mind. The queen looked down on her, so she could openly go out and get him.
…
Sure enough, not only Concubine Yu and Huo Zhaoyi were invited to the queen's banquet, but also several other official ladies.
The inside and outside of the palace are like two worlds. No matter what happens outside, it cannot affect the joy in the palace.
Wei Mingfeng felt that the Queen held a private banquet just after something happened to the Mu family, as if she was deliberately celebrating something. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was a provocation to the Mu family.
After the last Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Wei Mingfeng also got to know some people, and naturally knew that their father's official position was not low.
As soon as Wei Mingfeng arrived, Huo Zhaoyi came over to meet her. She first bowed to Huo Zhaoyi and then said, "Mingfeng didn't have the chance to thank the empress for what happened last time."
Huo Zhaoyi took Wei Mingfeng's hand cordially and said, "Silly boy, you are still polite to me. We are both from the common people, so we naturally know how difficult it is to live in this palace."
Wei Mingfeng only felt the corner of her mouth twitching, but she didn't feel the same way. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but felt that she couldn't be rude, so she smiled and let her hold it, showing an affectionate look.
At this time, Nangong Mingyu also came over: "Mingfeng, you are here." She looked out again, but did not see the eldest prince.
She thought Wei Mingfeng would come with the eldest prince, so she came in advance without waiting for the maid to return the clothes and jewelry to her.
Wei Mingfeng naturally knew what she was looking for, so she also pretended to smile and said innocently: "The dress the eldest princess is wearing today is so beautiful, and the color matches the princess's skin color very well."
Originally she was supposed to appear at the banquet dressed like this, but she refused and still wore her own clothes comfortably.
The eldest princess's face turned red, "This is a gift from eldest brother." She also wondered why Mingfeng's clothes were not worn, and she was too embarrassed to ask in front of Huo Zhaoyi.
At this time, the queen appeared in everyone's sight wearing gorgeous palace clothes. Everyone saluted respectfully: "See the queen."
"Excuse me, everyone. This is a family banquet hosted by this palace. You don't have to be restrained." The queen said.
Wei Mingfeng also saluted, but for a moment, she felt that the queen's eyes were always on her face.
Although she was not as grandly dressed as the eldest princess today, she was still generous and decent.
After everyone thanked them, a palace maid came to lead everyone to their seats.
At this time, the queen smiled and said: "Mingfeng, come sit next to me."
Wei Mingfeng was suddenly stunned, and the eldest princess reminded: "The Queen has asked you to go over."
Immediately, everyone looked at her. Wei Mingfeng obediently bowed her head slightly, walked to the queen, and then helped herself up, which was regarded as another courtesy.
She was not used to the Queen's kindness. After she sat down, the Queen also took her hand, and she heard the Queen say in her ear: "Jing'er told me, I am sure. Now you also I'm still young, and I will often come to my palace from now on. If there is anything I don't understand, my grandma will teach me."
Wei Mingfeng's eyes widened in fright, "What are you referring to?"
The Queen said: "When Jing'er reaches the age, I will go and request a decree to make you the concubine."
