C16 The Heart of Beauty Is Deeper than the Sea

"I thought Tender Beauty lived in the Cold Palace and didn't know any of us. "However, I only found out about someone like you when I heard that you received a reward from the Emperor not long ago."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth and smiled. There was pride in her eyes. Meng Zixian was not annoyed at all. She thought to herself, "It's hard to guard against this. The battle has really started."

"Naturally, she is inferior to the favor of Beauty Huai."

At first, she wanted to show some respect to Meng Zixian, but she was actually very humble. She smiled and said, "Let's go to the imperial flower garden to attend the Hundred Blossom Banquet together. I just happen to lack a companion."

Meng Zixian secretly cursed, "How are you lacking a partner, you are lacking a partner!"

In any case, Song Que had told her to contact her concubine and ask for more information, so why wouldn't she want this opportunity to deliver it to her doorstep?

"Alright."

Meng Zixian answered as she followed behind Princess Huai and continued to walk forward.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet was set up in the imperial garden. The imperial garden of the Eastern Sheng dynasty was the most prosperous period built in the past few hundred years.

The unpampered imperial concubines were arranged to sit in the last row. Although the position of the beauty Huai was no different from that of Meng Zixian, after entering the imperial garden, she was directed by the eunuchs to sit in the front row.

Meng Zi casually took her seat. As she walked past a lot of imperial concubines, they all looked over with looks of disdain or schadenfreude.

She was the only one who didn't care. All she was thinking about was Song Qi's story.

Every time Meng Zixian saw a second wife, she would ask Ling'er which palace they belonged to.

She had long since become familiar with the routes through the courtyards of the harem, but she had no idea who lived in each of the chambers.

No matter who it was, these people had more or less been robbed by her at least once.

If she could be matched with a imperial concubine, she could easily distinguish who had the most money in their house in the future. If she could take a stroll around, she would be able to rise to the top in the path of becoming rich.

"Ai ai, Jingfei is here." A few of the imperial concubines started to whisper to each other. Meng Zixian's heart skipped a beat as she turned around and saw a few people walking out with Jing Fei.

She was still as gentle and dignified as before. Her beauty was like a lotus flower, and her nose was like her mouth and nose. Those imperial concubines spoke to her ingratiatingly. Jing Fei kept a faint smile on her face, which gave people a feeling of friendliness.

Meng Zi held his chin and thought back to that day in the Meditation Pavilion. In some ways, this Jingfei really was a match made in heaven with Song Que.

While chatting and laughing, Jing Fei suddenly caught a glimpse of Meng Zixian. Her expression became serious, and she became a bit vigilant.

Seeing her like this, Meng Zixian felt that it was quite funny. She gave her a faint smile and slightly nodded her head as a greeting.

Song Que used her as a pawn, but this Jing Fei didn't agree before. Moreover, Jing Fei was injured by her before. Now that she was here, Jing Fei must have had mixed feelings for her.

However, to Meng Zixian's surprise, Jing Fei stared at her for a moment, and the wariness in her eyes actually dissipated.

With a warm smile on his face, he slowly walked towards her.

"It's hard to avoid loneliness when you're sitting in the back row with a demure beauty. How about I accompany you?"

After a moment of surprise, Meng Zijue stood up, looked at her, bowed to her, and smiled.

"Thank you, Big Sister Jingfei for your kindness, but this seat is arranged according to the rules. If you were to overstep the boundaries and offend the emperor, that would be bad."

There was no one in the palace who didn't fear Gu Jingyuan's temper. At this moment, he brought out the grumpy emperor, causing the surrounding concubines' expressions to change greatly.

Meng Zixian was only rewarded a few days ago, and actually dared to refuse the invitation of the most beloved concubine in the palace.

"How could that be?" Jing Fei looked at her calmly and grabbed Meng Zixian's arm to help her sit down.

"Right now, the one who is deeply in love with you is the beauty Huai. In the eyes of the Emperor, there is no one else other than her. Even if I was sitting in the back, no one would care. "

Since things had come to this point, Meng Zixian could only nod in agreement. If this Jing Fei came on purpose, it was likely she had something to discuss with her.
