Chapter Forty-Nine: Family Banquet to Add Fun to Warming the Tent (2)(2/2)
"Maybe it's just a hidden arrow." Xuanyuan Huang gave her an excuse that even he didn't believe, trying to comfort her anxiety.
At this time, there was noise outside. Xuanyuan Huang immediately made a silent gesture to Ling Zihan, then changed the topic and started talking about the flowers and plants here. Footsteps gradually approached, and after being passed on, outside the garden,
Yan Xiuyuan, who was guarding, walked in first and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, it's getting late. The Imperial Concubine has already sent someone to invite you."
"Really, let's go now." Xuanyuan Huang responded to Yan Xiuyuan in a loud voice, then reached out to hold Ling Zihan's hand, helped her wrap the sleeve arrows and put them back into the fan bag, handed them to her, and held her hand tightly again
He gently pinched her fingertips with his hand and said, "Stop thinking nonsense. No matter what the problem is, let's talk about it when we go home. Here..." He glanced outside, shook his head, and gave her a look, "
Inappropriate."
After packing up, the group left.
Soon they arrived at the Jiyue Palace where the banquet was held, and upon entering there were eunuchs who ushered them into the Jinhua Pavilion.
This Jiyue Palace is the most remote place among the three palaces and six courtyards of the inner palace. It is a side hall and its location is also very clever. It is just the connection point between the inner palace and the outer palace. It is different from the city gate building where the ministers stay.
, it is like a wall that blocks the harem women from communicating with the outside world. It also seems to remind the people in the harem to abide by the rule of "the harem does not ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty".
It seems that holding the family dinner here has an ulterior motive.
"**, you're here." Xuanyuan Nihe raised his little face and smiled very cutely at Ling Zihan. When he turned to look at Xuanyuan Huang, he shrank slightly, bowed, and hurried towards Ling Zihan
He shrunk away from me and kept shouting: "My mother-in-law asked me to invite you over."
Ling Zihan was stunned. The princess's invitation to her was just like a weasel greeting a chicken. But in order to avoid conflict with her, she had tried her best to avoid her. Now, she has come to visit her, but she didn't know it.
What's the purpose?
Xuanyuan Huang held her hand slightly tighter. Ling Zihan came back to her senses, smiled at him, shook her head, reached out and patted the back of his hand, giving him a reassuring look.
Based on his understanding of her, it was impossible for the Crown Princess to take advantage of her. However, he was still a little worried. After all, this royal family was different from ordinary people. Everyone was a glass heart, exquisite and clear, and they could see everything clearly.
Take action. This princess is stupid and more thoughtful than ordinary people. Otherwise, she would not have been able to sit in the position of the princess for so many years.
"Uncle Jiu, don't worry. My mother-in-law is not a she-wolf, so she can't eat my body. Besides, that's where the women go, so don't go there. Or... you should go with your nephew.
Uncle Six is sending someone to look for you!" Xuanyuan Hehe said like a young adult, glanced at Ling Zihan with a half-smile, and winked at her.
Hearing this, Ling Zihan also helped by saying, "You really shouldn't go to that place where the female relatives are. You'd better go to Sixth Brother first. I'll go look for you later."
"Okay, yourself..." After finishing the sentence, Xuanyuan Huang gave her a look that told her to be careful, and then ordered the woman beside her: "Liu Yun, take good care of the princess."
"Maybe it's a tea to reminisce about the past, not a dragon's den or a tiger's den." Ling Zihan smiled playfully, then gave a sweet sneer, then reached out to touch the white fox on her shoulder, glanced back at Liuyun, and said lightly, "Let's go.
!” and walked away.
In the remote Xinuang Pavilion, there was a sound of orioles and swallows, sweet and sweet, as if they were joking.
But this announcement caused no movement inside.
Ling Zihan walked in calmly, with subtle waves in her demonic eyes. She glanced at the women sitting on the left and right who were sizing her up. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and finally she met the woman in gorgeous clothes sitting in front of her. Her red lips were lit with red lips.
Dan Sha, the curved eyebrows are painted thin and long, and the face is painted with delicate rice
Pink, with exquisite and graceful makeup, it looks like a forbidden portrait from a distance. The five-tailed golden phoenix hairpin shines with the dazzling light of gold, and the pearl in the phoenix's mouth is large and round, hanging in front of her forehead, slightly
The shaking is in sharp contrast with the water-patterned flower pattern on the forehead, making it even more graceful.
It seems that the Crown Princess wanted to stand out today, and she put a lot of effort into her makeup and clothing.
"Hey, Princess, this is our ninth younger sister! She is newly married after all, but it is different. Especially she is doting on one house. One look at my sister's rosy appearance, and I know that she has received all the blessings from the rain and dew, but she is the same as her.
We are very different." Before Ling Zihan could greet her, she sat on the left side of the Crown Princess.
The woman who made the move started chatting. As she spoke, she stood up, blessed Ling Zi and went up to her. She announced her family status and said, "I have never seen you before, so it's natural not to recognize her.
I pride myself on being older than you, and I belong to the Yu Wang family, so according to family rules, you should call me Qixinzi."
This Prince Yu is famous for his contentment. His mother-in-law and concubine are not high in status. They are just Zhaoyi and are not very favored. But it is precisely because of this that Prince Yu can live such a comfortable life. He has a virtuous wife, filial son, and a lady at home.
On the other hand, I envy the happiness of others.
"Zihan has heard about Qixinzi for a long time, but seeing her is better than hearing it a hundred times. Today I finally learned her lesson." Ling Zihan followed the palace rules and blessed her with a blessing, just like greeting her in modern times.
Princess Yu raised her eyebrows, "Why, have you learned how to handle this naughty and arrogant me?"
"Qi **** was joking. Zihan has learned from Qi ****'s cheerfulness. No wonder everyone said that this Qi **** is the most similar to her."
After complimenting each other, Princess Yu took Ling Zihan's hand and introduced her to all the wives and concubines in the room that she knew or didn't know before she sat down with her after greeting her. It took a long time to sit down.
The Crown Princess has never said a word, Princess Yu
He is also a very discerning person. He raised his eyes and looked at the Crown Princess and said: "Looking at how handsome my sister is, it makes people feel distressed. No wonder our ninth brother, who is so strong and strong, wants to marry her back even though we are fighting over it.
Go home. Princess, you tell me, right?"
The Crown Princess finally changed her posture and sat up, put down the lid of the cup set in her hand, glanced in the direction of Ling Zihan and Princess Yu, paused briefly and said: "I have seen this before, sisters-in-law, I am a little bit
We need to talk to our nine brothers and sisters alone. Princess Yu, if it is convenient, could you please accompany all the sisters for a walk in the garden."
This princess sells medicine in a gourd, and everyone knows it.
They looked at each other and talked with their eyes.
Ling Zihan thought to herself, instead of being locked in a room with the Crown Princess, it would be better to go outside and run away faster if she encounters trouble. So she said: "There are many sisters, and those who move around often cause trouble. Crown Princess
If the concubine doesn't feel offended, why not go for a walk in the garden with Zihan."
Their eyes met, as if the smell of gunpowder smoke was rising in the air. Ling Zihan's smile remained the same, looking at everyone present lightly, and then added, "It seems that it's time to take a seat, and it's not too long to wait. Prince
If the concubine has something to say, just talk to Zihan while walking, so as not to look back and ask people to look for us again, which will only cause a lot of trouble."
Her words were suggestive, but her face was calm.
Her indifferent look made it seem as if even if a bolt of thunder fell from the horizon, as long as the beams of the house were not broken, she would not care. She would still sit quietly drinking tea and eating snacks, enjoying her own leisure.
Such a woman is much scarier than the one who plots everything and fights for everything.
Princess Yu saw everything in her eyes. Her pale pink lips were slightly raised, but her round chin was slightly drooped. She turned sideways and continued chatting in a low voice with the woman beside her, keeping herself out of the situation.
The Crown Princess clenched her fists, and the screen forced her to keep her expression calm. She gritted her teeth secretly and said, "That's fine." Immediately afterwards, she brought the cloak tomorrow and went out first. Liu Yun met the Crown Princess at the second door.
After the ceremony, he followed immediately and warmed his hands.
They handed the small hand stove to Ling Zihan, and then opened a red cloak and put it around Ling Zihan and said: "The prince just sent this tomorrow. He said that if the princess wants to go out, she must wrap up in this cloak, otherwise
...Go back...it will be easier for the princess."
The first half of the sentence was quite fluent, but when it came to the end, Liu Yun blushed with embarrassment, and the last sentence was spoken in a low and broken voice, which made Ling Zihan feel a little embarrassed. She secretly buried Xuanyuan Huang, this kind of boudoir talk, he
How dare you let Liuyun convey it!
The Crown Princess in front obviously heard it too, and her back tensed up. She froze there and waited for a while, until Ling Zihan came to her side. She pointed to the forest full of plum trees and said, "Let's go."
Girls, please stay guard outside this forest. Ninth brother and sister, can you go with me?"
"It doesn't matter, it must be the safest to be together with the Crown Princess. My prince will also feel at ease." Ling Zihan, who smiled harmlessly, once again warned in secret, threatening the Crown Princess. He then told Liu Yun
With a look of understanding, he followed the princess into the forest and walked slowly in the forest.
At this time of the year, the plum blossoms have not yet opened, only a few have small buds.
Walking to the middle of the forest, the princess suddenly stopped and looked at the plum tree in front of her with many sachets and purses hung on it. After a while, she calmed down her voice and spoke slowly, but her words were not polite.
"Ling Zihan, don't pretend to be affectionate with me. Let's open the skylight and talk openly. I'm looking for you today just for two things. First, you taught my son meritoriously. I thank you. Second, I want to thank you.
I ask you to abide by your duties and remember whose princess you are!"
As she spoke, she flicked her backhand, and a streak of silver light flashed across, and then scattered on the ground like stars scattered on the snow, bright and silver.
Ling Zihan lowered her head and saw that those things were the hairpins she had given to Xuanyuan Hehe to fasten the cloak given to the prince.
