Chapter 357 Phoenix Girl
Soon it was evening, and Di Xiuyan brought Mu Wanyan to the palace for a banquet.
Once in the palace, the powerful officials would first go to the Yangxin Hall to discuss matters, while the female members would be taken by the eunuchs to the side hall to rest.
Di Xiuyan and Mu Wanyan separated temporarily. He was worried, so he left Meng Xiao to her and went alone.
Now the former queen has passed away, and the current queen has been practicing Buddhism in Yuquan Temple all year round. Now all the affairs of the harem are in the hands of Concubine De.
She is gentle and good at dealing with people, and she is Pei Lingsong's favorite for the way she handles things on a daily basis.
Therefore, today's dinner will be organized by Concubine De.
When he arrived at the side hall courtyard, Meng Xiao was stopped outside the door by the eunuchs.
"Deputy General Meng, please stay. The palace ladies and concubines are in the palace now. Please wait here."
Mu Wanyan heard various sounds of stringed instruments coming from the hall, as well as the laughter and noise of the female relatives, and then she nodded to Meng Xiao, signaling him to rest assured.
"Thank you for leading the way, eunuch." Mu Wanyan gave the young eunuch some change and followed him into the side hall.
Empress Defei came forward from afar to greet them, asking about their well-being, which was very flattering.
"Sister, you are a beauty, even a woman like me would fall in love with you when I see you. No wonder the Regent wants to marry you."
Concubine De held Mu Wanyan's hand, and a smile blossomed on her face. "You are so beautiful, so charming, my sister is so lucky."
Mu Wanyan pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, and her heart skipped a beat.
Shouldn't the phrase "beauty of a country, heavenly beauty" be used to describe the queen?
And the address is wrong, isn't it? What sister? Although Di Xiuyan is the regent, he and Pei Yuxiao are classmates. Defei called her the wrong one in terms of seniority.
Concubine De ordered someone to bring a basin of clear water with various fragrant flowers, and then used a handkerchief to apply the water on Mu Wanyan's hair.
She smiled and said, "It is a custom in Dafeng that water must be splashed on happy occasions. Today is a great dinner, so I will help you get some perfume on you, for good luck."
Then she asked the palace maids to apply perfume on the hair of all the female relatives, including her own.
State Master Long Yuan said that this perfume was added with secret medicine. If it really was a phoenix girl, it would naturally attract hundreds of birds.
She wanted to see if Mu Wanyan was a Phoenix girl.
After doing all this, Concubine De looked into the pair of eyes behind the veil, signaling him to rest assured.
Pei Lingsong was originally hanging on by a thread, but now after taking the elixir given by Long Yuan, he seemed to be regaining his vitality and was full of energy.
He stared blankly at Mu Wanyan's delicate little face and graceful figure through the veil. The more he looked, the more he liked her. Finally, he couldn't help but laugh.
"As long as she's a Phoenix girl, even if she's ugly, I want her."
Su Deping despised her in his heart, but he agreed with her: "Oh, Your Majesty, Miss Wanyan is not an ugly woman."
He said exaggeratedly: "Even I, a eunuch, think she is incredibly beautiful."
Pei Lingsong: "It's not your turn. I am the emperor. Everything in this world belongs to me."
Su Deping: "Who says it's not true? Your Majesty is so lucky."
He rolled his eyes and thought: Let's see if you have the life to enjoy it.
Pei Lingsong: "I have missed many good things. If I had known that she was a phoenix girl, I would never have promised her to Chen'er."
"It is a blessing for the princess of a small country to be able to lie beside me."
Su Deping: “…”
"Let's see if the Regent agrees first?"
After he finished speaking, Su Deping quickly covered his mouth with his hands.
What a sin! It was so disgusting that I blurted out what was in my heart.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, what I mean is that the Regent may not be willing to do so."
Pei Lingsong: "Now that the matter has been settled, he has no choice but to obey."
"As soon as we confirm that Mu Wanyan is the Phoenix Girl, Imperial Master Long Yuan will help me absorb the Phoenix Girl's luck."
He stroked his beard, full of anticipation for what was about to happen.
Su Deping: "Congratulations in advance to your majesty. You have not only won the beauty, but also regained your masculinity. This is a blessing for our Dafeng country."
Pei Lingsong stared at Mu Wanyan, his mouth twitching, "I am doing this only for the people of Dafeng, without any selfish motives."
Su Deping: "Your Majesty is righteous!"
No, I seem to have forgotten to inform the most important person.
The Prince Regent has been involved in state affairs for many years and is brave and good at fighting. He should be the most likely candidate to become the new emperor in the future.
How could I have forgotten this ancestor?
Seeing that various butterflies had flown into the palace one after another and were dancing around Mu Wanyan, Pei Lingsong's smile became more and more intense.
In a moment, everyone in the hall saw the miraculous spectacle of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix.
All the women had perfume on their hair to attract birds and butterflies, but after the birds and butterflies flew into the palace, they would not stay in front of any woman.
They came straight to Mu Wanyan, dancing and singing as if showing off.
All the women in the palace were envious. Almost everyone in Dafeng knew that a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix was a phenomenon that only happened once in a hundred years, and only a phoenix girl could have such charm.
It is obvious that the future Regent Princess, Mu Chuyan, is the Phoenix Girl of Heaven.
There were two people hiding in the corner, one was Pei Yuxiao and the other was Pei Mochen.
Pei Yuxiao: "Is Yanyan really a wind girl? Di Xiuyan got such a good deal."
"Fuan, please come and help me. I feel so sad."
Pei Mochen could only shed tears, "So Yanyan is the Phoenix Girl? In other words, if I spend the wedding night with her, then both Yanyan and the country will be mine?"
"It turns out that I am the one who is seeking the faraway place instead of the near one."
Everyone looked at Mu Wanyan with envy or admiration, but Mu Wanyan was the only one who was panicked and at a loss.
Why are there so many birds? Are they all flying around me?
They can neither advance nor retreat, and they cannot be driven away by force.
There are circles of bird droppings on the ground.
At the same time, Su Deping walked quickly with his short legs to find Di Xiuyan.
Pei Lingsong is cunning and Long Yuan is sinister, so he must do whatever it takes to gain recognition in front of the Regent.
-
Long Yuan unknowingly walked behind Pei Lingsong and handed him a pill.
"Your Majesty, take this pill, and you can consummate your marriage with Phoenix Girl tonight."
"The Phoenix Girl can absorb all the sickness from your body and help your majesty recover."
Pei Lingsong swallowed it without even thinking. "Master, I will definitely reward you handsomely later."
Long Yuan: "May your majesty's wishes come true."
If I hadn't been killed, why would I have left such a good thing to you, an old immortal?
