After having some breakfast and washing his hands, Deng Sui was thinking about whether to go to Yongle Palace when he saw Gong Tai standing outside the door. "Is something wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Feng Meiren is here." Gong Tai said respectfully, "I am also bringing Yang Gongren with me."

"Please come to the main hall to have tea. I will be there shortly." Deng Sui was a little surprised as to why she came here so early.

"No." Gong Tai walked briskly, saluted, turned around and retreated.

Tuo Xian thought about it carefully and said softly: "Yang Gongren has served your majesty in the early years. He and Wang Cainu were both royal maids. Now he lives in Feng Meiren's palace and serves your majesty. It has been a long time since your majesty has been here."

Deng Sui nodded, and stood up with a gentle hand: "It's rare for Feng Meiren to come here."

The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing each other's thoughts.

"Greetings to the noble man, the noble man will be happy forever."

Feng Zhishui and Yang Yingzhi saluted together, with smiles on their faces.

"You two sisters don't need to be polite." Deng Suikuan took a seat and Fang smiled and said: "Please sit down."

Yang Yingzhi was startled when she heard Deng Guiren calling her sister. This was the first time for her to meet a nobleman. She didn't expect that this nobleman was so easy-going and completely different from the one in Yongle Palace.

"My concubine Yang Yingzhi, this is my first time to meet you. Please accept this great gift from me again." She bowed respectfully, her forehead pressed tightly against the back of her hands lying on the ground. It was obvious that she was submissive.

"Sister Yang, there is no need to be polite." Deng Sui smiled gently: "It's rare for two sisters to come over, just try the pastries and fragrant tea I have here."

"Yes, get up quickly." Feng Zhishui flattered Mr. Yang: "Maybe it's because this is the first time we meet, you may not know it yet. Our Deng nobleman is the most approachable. Too much courtesy makes it appear that

Alienation.”

"No." Yang Yingzhi stood up quickly: "Thank you, noble man."

Feng Zhishui took a sip of tea, a look of worry appeared on her eyebrows: "I heard that your Excellency had a rash a few days ago. Are you feeling better now?"

"Sister Lao, I am much better now." Deng Sui had dealt with Feng Zhishui several times and knew that she was the best at observing people's emotions and her smile was much clearer. "Mrs. Xu has excellent medical skills. After a few doses of medicine, the rash has gone away."

"Then I'll be relieved." Feng Zhishui smiled and tilted his head, taking a brocade box from the hand of the maid behind him: "A few days ago, the noble man rewarded me with many gifts. I was grateful, so I specially selected a piece of jade and returned it to me.

Hope you like it."

"Sister, why are you so polite?" Deng Sui winked, and Tuoyan stepped forward to take the brocade box.

"It's not polite, but my concubine's intention." Feng Zhishui smiled shyly: "It's just not a valuable thing, I hope you don't dislike it."

The brocade box was handed to Deng Sui, and she slowly opened it. Inside was a piece of exquisite and clear purple jade, drop-shaped, with a warm luster. "What a delicate piece of jade."

Seeing that she was happy, Feng Zhishui couldn't help but smile: "If this jade is made into a pendant and worn by a noble person, it will finally live up to the expectations."

"Then thank you sister for your kindness." Deng Sui happily accepted it.

Yang Yingzhi also took out something: "I am humble and have no wealth. So I made a sachet with my own hands. In it are more than a dozen kinds of petals carefully selected by me, and some flowers with unique taste. I hope you will

I can like it.”

When Tuo Zhen took the sachet, he couldn't help but be surprised.

There is no gold or silver thread used on the sachet, and the material is very ordinary satin, but the flowers embroidered on it are unique and seem to jump out of the satin. They are so lifelike.

"My lord, please take a look."

Deng Sui also saw the uniqueness of the embroidery technique at a glance, and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Sister Yang's stitching technique is really unique and exquisite, and the color of the silk thread used is also very different. The dark and light overlap and complement each other, it is really beautiful."

"

After smelling the unique aroma again, Deng Sui couldn't help but fall in love with this sachet: "The combination of the fragrance ingredients is so good. Sister Yang is really a hydrilla."

When she praised her like this, Yang Yingzhi immediately blushed: "It's so good, I just don't mind it, noble man."

"Hey, Yingzhi, your craftsmanship is superb, why should you belittle yourself?" Feng Zhishui said with a smile: "All the embroiderers in the Han Palace are not as good as you. The noble man may not know that the silk thread used in this sachet is

Yingzhi dyed them all by himself, so the colors are much richer than those brought as tribute from outside."

"Yes." Deng Sui said with a smile: "The colors of these silk threads are indeed rich, and they are pleasing to the eye."

"If nobles and beauties keep praising you like this, then I will really be ashamed." Yang Yingzhi blushed and lowered her head: "It's just a little trick, how can it be worthy of being in the hall of elegance!"

Just as he was talking, the servant outside the palace bowed in and said, "Beauty, the time has come."

"Oh, yes." Feng Zhishui quickly apologized: "Deng Guiren, please forgive me, I'm a servant of this concubine, because I should go to Yongle Palace to see Yin Guiren at this time."

She said this deliberately just to see if Deng Guiren would be angry.

After all, in the same noble status, no matter how approachable one is, he is still not as arrogant and dignified as the other.

"Just in time." Deng Suikuan said calmly: "I haven't been feeling well these past two days and I haven't been to Yongle Palace. Since the two sisters want to say hello, I will go with you."

"That's fine." Feng Zhishui nodded gently. "The spring is beautiful and it's time to go out for a walk. It's inevitable that you'll be weak if you stay indoors all the time."

The three people walked out of the main hall one after another. Feng Zhishui was beside Deng Guiren, who was familiar but not attentive. "The first person in this palace to see the nobleman is my concubine. Maybe she just fell in love."

"I also love talking to Sister Feng. If I have time, I might as well come here often." Deng Sui's gentle appearance is really beautiful. Even without makeup, she is one of the most beautiful women in the palace.

When Feng Zhishui saw her magnificent appearance, he couldn't help but envy: "I am lucky to be able to talk to you all the time. You are so beautiful that you are like a fairy walking out of a painting. If I can get a touch of the nobleman's fairy spirit, maybe I will be lucky."

It can also look better.”

Yang Yingzhi laughed twice in agreement, but she only felt bored in her heart. Why did Feng Meiren have such thoughts?

The moment she saw Deng Sui come in, Yin Lingyue felt a little depressed. Then she saw Feng Zhishui and Yang Gongren gathered together, and she felt even more unhappy.

"It's a coincidence that the three of you came here together."

"Greetings to Mr. Yin." Feng Zhishui saluted and said hello as usual, without any trace of panic. "I got up early and led Yang Gongren to greet me. I passed by the Jiade Palace and went in to say hello. Unexpectedly, Deng Guiren's body was already so agile, so

Come together."

"That's it." Yin Lingyue didn't sleep well last night, and the thin dark blue under her eyes was not covered by makeup. So when she smiled, she couldn't help but show her tiredness: "In just a few days, Deng Guiren's body

It's so neat and tidy, it shows that he has a strong foundation and the imperial doctor is dedicated."

Yao Jiaer smiled lightly: "No wonder your Majesty went up to accompany Deng Guiren last night. It turned out that he was in good health."

It would be fine if she didn't say this. Why did Yin Lingyue sound so awkward? "Your Majesty naturally cares about Mr. Deng."

"That's what my cousin said." Yao Jia'er licked her red lips and said with a half-smile: "It's just that the day after the first concubine accepts a favor, doesn't it mean that the concubines have to rest in their own palace? Deng Guiren is in great spirits.

, and I can still go out and walk around.”

Others were embarrassed when they heard this, and they didn't know how Yao Meiren could say it.

The concubines in the palace were all a little uncomfortable, and they were all curious about how the noble Deng would retort.

"Your Majesty is kind and treats all the sisters in the palace equally well. When I am ill, I am grateful for Your Majesty's mercy, but I also feel guilty because I cannot serve Your Majesty well." Deng Sui thought to himself, since you want to know so much, I said

It doesn't matter if you come out.

The implication is that the person who asked was shameless, so why should she feel embarrassed?

"Humph." Yao Jia'er felt at ease now: "Then we'll wait until the noble lady gets better and take good care of her."

Yin Lingyue also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe as Mo Li said, His Majesty was just showing favor to Deng Sui. "Sit down, please. Since this is a conversation between sisters, don't be so intrusive.

I have something that I would like to ask Mr. Deng about."

Deng Suiqian lowered his head and said, "But please give me your instructions."

"Next month is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is rare for the palace to be lively. In previous years, I was responsible for all etiquette, banquet arrangements, and dance performances by the maids. This year is also the Dragon Boat Festival, but there are two new additions to the palace.

Sisters, in order to show that the harem is harmonious and everyone is united, how about you help me host the banquet together with noble Deng?"

"No." Deng Sui nodded softly and said nothing else.

Yin Lingyue couldn't help but think of the spy's reply, saying that in the imperial garden, no matter how Zhou family humiliated her, she could remain calm...

"Arrangements for singing and dancing are secondary. After all, the singing and dancing maids have been practicing their skills hard every day, and they have never been lazy. It is finally easy to organize. The banquet decorations are led by the familiar servants, so it is not difficult.

Only this delicacy...the style is the same every year. It would be boring to entertain the nobles and nobles, and it would be rude, which would really put me in trouble."

Deng Sui understood the meaning of these words and made a calculation in his heart: "If the noble man does not despise me for being stupid, I should share my worries for the noble man."

"That would be great." Yin Lingyue's eyebrows moved: "With Mr. Deng sharing my worries, I will feel more at ease. But there are still more than twenty days until the Dragon Boat Festival, so I have to ask Mr. Deng to do more."

"No." Deng Sui lowered his eyebrows respectfully. He thought that it would not be difficult if he just prepared a meal for the guests. He was afraid that there would be other mistakes.

"This is Liu Sishan from the Shang Food Bureau. She will help you prepare some of His Majesty's favorite dishes, as well as the dishes that all the princes like. As for the fine wine, you don't have to worry, the palace has a lot of it."

"Thank you for your advice." Deng Sui didn't say much, and every sentence showed his seniority and gentleness.

Yin Lingyue couldn't find anything wrong with her words and deeds. It's no wonder that even a thoughtful person like Zhou Yunji couldn't anger her. She is really a character that is not easy to deal with.

"That's very good." She smiled calmly, with a graceful appearance. Her beautiful face was full of agility and charm, and she was not inferior to Deng Sui at last. "Then let's all go away."

The concubines stood up and knelt down one after another, and slowly exited the main hall.

Only Feng Zhishui sat motionless.

"Does Miss Feng have anything to say?" Yin Lingyue waited until everyone left before asking in confusion.

"When it came to the Dragon Boat Festival, I remembered that my knot-tying skills were quite good, and I was thinking about making a few sachets to distribute to the sisters in the palace as a token of my gratitude." Feng Zhishui smiled lightly.

"That's fine, you can figure it out." Yin Lingyue took Mo Bin's hand and stood up lazily: "I don't know what's going on, but I've been falling asleep these past few days. I'm exhausted, so I'll talk to you later.

You speak."

"No." Feng Zhishui looked at her slightly weak behavior and couldn't help but frown. This Yin nobleman has always been domineering, so why did Deng nobleman always show weakness as soon as he entered the palace? Is this intentional to show the emperor?
