C176 Qiu mingyue entered the palace (1/2)
After Baili Jinxiu heard this, he looked around. Those who came to attend the banquet today were all the daughters of noble families in the capital.
If Qiu Mingyue wanted to relax in this kind of situation, it would indeed be a good place. Baili Jinxiu just looked towards Qiu Dan, ”You also plan to go with me?”
Qiu Dan glared fiercely at Baili Jinxiu, before turning his head towards Qiu Mingyue and speaking in a gentle tone, ”Junior Sister, be careful on your own. When the time comes, eldest senior brother will come to pick you up. ”
Today's banquet was only attended by the ladies and the madams, when Qiu Dan heard this, he only thought that Baili Jinxiu was toying with him.
However, Baili Jinxiu really did not know about this. It was only when he followed his mother into the Imperial Palace that Baili Jinxiu found out that this banquet was organized by his imperial concubine.
Baili Jinxiu thought, the Queen was strange, it seemed like the Emperor did not respect her.
The last time he entered the palace, the empress didn't say anything.
However, just from the communication between the Emperor and the Empress, it could be seen that the Emperor was not the kind of person to lose one's mind.
Furthermore, it was not as the rumors said, and the imperial concubine was not as useful as she was in front of the Emperor.
However, every time she had the opportunity to show her face, the Queen seemed to not like being in the front line. She was supposed to be the mother of all people, but she always let the imperial concubine rush to the front.
Baili Jinxiu rubbed his chin as he thought deeply. It seemed that the matters in the palace were indeed tangled up with one another.
When he arrived at the place, even though Baili Jinxiu had seen countless of beautiful scenery in the modern world, he was still attracted by the ancient and fragrant beauty in front of him.
The taste of the osmanthus flowers was pleasant and distant.
However, the gardeners carefully planted the small plants of osmanthus flowers in a large pot, carefully sculpting them into various poses.
The small and short osmanthus tree was only as tall as a person, but the osmanthus flowers atop it were like embroidered balls held by a woman, appearing exceptionally exquisite.
These thoughts, however, made the Miss s, who were used to the beautiful scenery, speak with interest.
The Imperial Concubine sat on top of the bed proudly, a pleased smile on her face as she sized up the Miss s below with a pair of eyes.
”I've invited everyone here today mainly because the osmanthus flower bloomed at the perfect time. I had specially ordered the gardeners to prepare it, but I did not expect them to be so skillful.
There's still the osmanthus wine and osmanthus flower feast that I prepared today.
The Imperial Concubine's smile was warm and generous, it did not look like she was rolling around in front of Baili Jinxiu in the great hall at all.
Baili Jinxiu gently took a bite of the osmanthus cake. He felt a sweet taste in his mouth, the complete opposite of the Imperial Concubine.
”We should naturally be grateful for the Noble Consort's kindness. ”I shall drink tea in place of wine and toast first to the Empress.”
Baili Furong, who was sitting beside Baili Jinxiu, checked the time, raised the teacup in his hand and greeted the imperial concubine.
Her exquisite painted face looked even more delicate and elegant than a osmanthus flower, but when the imperial concubine chair saw Baili Furong, it frowned, and instinctively used a handkerchief to cover its nose.
Baili Furong's originally shy smile instantly turned into countless of awkwardness.
Baili Jinxiu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the matter of Baili Furong entering the palace last time had left a shadow on the imperial concubine.
”Get up.” Imperial Concubine raised her teacup to her lips and lightly touched it, then turned and said perfunctorily to Baili Furong.
