C16 The Heart of Beauty Is Deeper than the Sea (1/2)
”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.
