Chapter 360 How to Compete with His Peerless Charm 5

In Nan Xiang's eyes, time slipped away slowly while she was dealing with the account books, and soon a month had passed.

During this month, Concubine Li did not fall out of favor as other concubines had expected. Instead, she won the sympathy of Emperor Chengming because of her injury. Emperor Chengming quickly found out the mastermind behind the white cat's mad scratching of Concubine Li, and it turned out to be the honest and dull Concubine Hu.

Concubine Hu and Concubine Li entered the palace at the same time. She usually had a very low presence and was always very well-behaved. Unexpectedly, she actually had a deep hatred for Concubine Li.

In the end, Emperor Chengming naturally banished Concubine Hu to the cold palace and gave her poisoned wine the next day.

Everyone in the palace was terrified when they heard the news.

However, it is unknown whether it was Concubine Hu or someone else, or whether Concubine Li herself used the "self-torture trick" to stage a drama.

People in the palace didn't care about the truth. They just felt unhappy when they saw that Concubine Li not only did not fall out of favor, but was even more favored than before.

Concubine Wan was as favored as ever and had an excellent reputation in the palace.

During this month, Emperor Chengming also visited new people and gave them appropriate rewards and promoted them to a reasonable level, which was not as outrageous as the promotions of Wan Zhaoyi and Liu Xiuyuan. However, there was one new person who was quite favored. Emperor Chengming favored her for three consecutive days. She was Wen Cairen, the daughter of the current governor of Yizhou.

Time soon came to the full moon banquet of Liu Xiuyuan's fifth prince. Since this was the first child in the palace in the five years since Emperor Chengming had the fourth prince, and also the first healthy prince in the past five years, Emperor Chengming attached great importance to it and specially held a full moon banquet. After all, it was just a full moon banquet, and no civil and military officials were invited to participate, but all the concubines in the palace gathered in Zhongcui Palace.

As for inviting civil and military officials and their families, that would have to wait until the Fifth Prince’s first birthday banquet.

Liu Xiuyuan was very happy about this. These days, her life was better than expected, and the emperor was very kind to her. All this was thanks to her son, who was her lucky star.

The lights in Zhongcui Palace were bright during the full moon banquet, and the palace maids and eunuchs were busy and orderly. Nan Xiang, as a young eunuch in the Shanggong Bureau, was also busy preparing for the banquet. She had made a budget for the food and expenses of this banquet, which met the specifications and regulations.

She carefully checked every detail to ensure that the banquet went smoothly.

She quickly completed the initial task, and the next step was to wait until the full moon banquet was over.

Nan Xiang stretched and was about to go out to find food when an excited female voice called her, "Xiao Xiangzi."

Nan Xiang looked back and saw that it was indeed Cai Yi.

Caiyi came over with a plate.

There are fresh grapes on the plate, with purple skins and plump and round grapes that look delicious.

These are grapes sent as tribute from the Western Regions.

"Xiao Xiangzi, today is the Fifth Prince's full moon banquet. I was clever and was praised by Eunuch Sun from Fengyi Palace. This is a reward from the Empress. I can't finish it, so I want to eat with you."

Seeing Caiyi's expectant look, Nan Xiang naturally did not refuse and agreed with a smile:

"it is good."

The two of them often share things, so they are used to it.

"Is it sweet?" Cai Yi asked with a smile.

Nan Xiang nodded: "Sweet."

Caiyi fed Nanxiang another pill, then took one for herself, and said with a smile, "Then eat more."

The two of them quickly divided the grapes.

"Xiao Xiangzi, I know you have been busy for so long, you must be hungry. Now the Zhongcui Palace is very lively and crowded, let's go to the imperial kitchen. Today is the fifth prince's full moon banquet, our food is also very delicious."

Nan Xiang knew what Cai Yi meant, smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Having said that, Caiyi excitedly took Nanxiang and ran towards the imperial kitchen.

The people in Zhongcui Palace were busy with the full moon banquet. Who would pay attention to two eunuchs and palace maids who were only eleven or twelve years old?

The two of them had a full meal in the imperial kitchen. Caiyi was just about to take Nanxiang to a pavilion in the imperial garden to admire the crabapple blossoms.

It is now the fragrant month of April, and the garden is full of gorgeous and colorful crabapple flowers, competing with each other in beauty, which is very beautiful.

It is said that Wen Cairen met Emperor Chengming by chance under a crabapple tree more than half a month ago and they had a very pleasant conversation. Then Wen Cairen began to serve the emperor in bed for three consecutive days.

So Caiyi was a little curious, but not much.

She simply wanted Nan Xiang to accompany her to see the crabapple blossoms.

But when she took Nanxiang to the Imperial Garden, she was caught by Aunt Qinxin.

Aunt Qinxin came to arrest her specifically because something happened again and Si Caisi was busier than before.

Caiyi spread her hands, walked to Aunt Qinxin, and looked at Nanxiang eagerly, reluctant to say goodbye.

Nan Xiang naturally waved goodbye as well.

After Caiyi left, she was the only one walking on the path in the Imperial Garden.

After hearing Caiyi say that the crabapple trees here were pretty nice and there was a pavilion in front where one could enjoy them, Nanxiang decided to go there too.

There is no one around now, and the nobles in the palace will not care about the palace maids and eunuchs admiring the flowers and having fun.

As long as you don't make a mistake, it won't be a big deal.

Nan Xiang walked around the pavilion and saw the crabapple flowers that Caiyi had talked about. The pink crabapple flowers swayed gently after the rain, as if in a dream. They fluttered in the air and fell gently to the ground, looking quite elegant and delicate against the red walls and green tiles.

Nan Xiang unconsciously moved closer to the crabapple tree. She raised her hand lightly and a crabapple flower fell into her palm. Suddenly, a line of poetry emerged in her mind:

"The redness of the crabapple blossoms is revealed after the rain."

The time is beautiful, and the crabapple blossoms are intoxicating.

Suddenly, Nan Xiang felt someone grabbing her robe.

She looked to the side and found that a boy of four or five years old was grabbing his clothes.

The young boy was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, and looked particularly noble and elegant at such a young age. He wore a silver crown on his head, and his eyebrows were extraordinary. His chubby face was originally tense, but when Nan Xiang looked over, the young boy smiled, and there was a hint of pleading in his dark eyes:

"Sister, help me."

Although Nan Xiang had never seen the young boy, he could walk freely in the palace, was dressed elegantly, and looked only four or five years old. She thought it could only be the prince.

Hearing the young boy calling her "sister", Nan Xiang was startled, but she calmed herself down and bowed to the young boy:

"Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

After a pause, Nan Xiang said, "Fourth Prince, you are mistaken. I am Xiao Xiangzi, a young eunuch from the Shanggong Bureau."

After saying that, Nan Xiang lowered her head even deeper.

Looking at the thin person with red lips, white teeth and body in front of him, Xiao Mingyu clearly felt that the person in front of him was the beautiful sister.

He likes beautiful sisters. o(〃^▽^〃)o

But the beautiful sister said she was mistaken, so maybe she was mistaken.

My uncle taught me that I should "hide my elegance and act with caution" in the palace.

"Brother, help me."

Xiao Mingyu maintained his prince's demeanor, with a stern face, looking extremely cold and aloof. His phoenix eyes contained obstinacy and stubbornness, and the expectation in his eyes was about to overflow. Nan Xiang could not refuse.

"it is good."

As soon as Nan Xiang agreed, Xiao Mingyu immediately grabbed Nan Xiang's hand and ran forward.

The child was very strong and Nan Xiang was unable to break free for a while. He was dragged into a hole in a rockery in the imperial garden.

While running, Nan Xiang heard the shouts of several palace servants.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

"Your Highness? Where are you, Your Highness?"

Nan Xiang knew that these palace servants were looking for Xiao Mingyu. She looked at the Fourth Prince Xiao Mingyu, who was holding her hand and had not let go, with a strange look in her eyes.

After running just now, the boy's jade-like face was flushed. His originally tense face relaxed, and his dark eyes flashed a trace of impatience, as if directed at the palace servants who were looking for him. He was small, only up to Nan Xiang's waist, and his chubby little face looked soft and cute.

Nan Xiang just felt soft in her heart.

After a while, Xiao Mingyu stretched his head out and looked outside, then seemed to react and looked back at Nan Xiang, but he remained calm and glanced down unconsciously, not meeting Nan Xiang's gaze.

Xiao Mingyu's little movements naturally did not escape Nan Xiang's eyes.

Nan Xiang laughed unconsciously, and she covered her mouth while laughing, and it was very difficult.

"Don't laugh!"

Xiao Mingyu naturally saw it. He pretended to glare at Nan Xiang fiercely, then prepared himself in his heart, coughed lightly, and softened his attitude:

"I'm not being mean to you."

Nan Xiang nodded and stopped laughing: "I know."

How fierce can a five-year-old child be? On the contrary, he is very cute, and his chubby face makes him look even more amazing.

Nan Xiang thought so in her heart.

"You were just making fun of me."

Hearing this accusatory statement, Nan Xiang saw Xiao Mingyu wrinkling his face and then returning to his previous cold expression.

Nan Xiang wanted to laugh again when she saw Xiao Mingyu's appearance as a little adult and his frown and bitter face just now.

But she stopped laughing and said seriously: "Your Highness is very cute."
