Chapter 102: Vigilance
When Su Yiqing recalled everything about Concubine Rong in her mind, the group had already walked outside the Xuanhua Hall where the banquet was held, and when they arrived outside the hall, they waited a little and waited, and another team of little eunuchs and little palace maids came to greet everyone.
The little eunuch in the lead first made a salute, and then said to Lian Yufeng and the six princes: "At the will of the queen's mother, please invite the prince and the six princes to go to the Guanghua Palace, where several old princes are drinking." ”
Lian Yufeng glanced back at Su Yiqing, nodded slightly, and left with the eunuch first.
Su Yiqing pinched the handkerchief in her hand, even Yu Feng had introduced the banquet in the palace to her before, many times the male and female guests were separated, the female guests were greeted by the queen and the concubines with relatively high status, and the male guests naturally drank the banquet with the emperor.
This time the situation is special, the emperor is sick, it is very likely that he will not be separated, but it is not possible to say, this kind of thing is not easy to inquire in advance, since it is the queen who comes forward to get together, I am afraid that he will still be summoned alone.
If they are summoned separately, Su Yiqing will have to face these skilled women by herself, be careful and adaptable.
Princess Xiangshan reminded her inexplicably, so Su Yiqing was even more vigilant in her heart, and under the guidance of the palace maid, she walked into the splendid palace.
There were already many people in the palace, and Su Yiqing saw Queen Ni sitting in the middle at a glance, wearing a phoenix robe and wearing a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin with towering temples.
is different from what she imagined before, she originally thought that Queen Ni should be a dignified woman with a strong aura of majesty, a woman like Queen Dajing Xu, after all, she dominates the harem. How can you hold down without momentum?
But she was very surprised, this Queen Ni had an amiable complexion, a slightly fat figure, a round face and a pair of round eyes, even if she was wearing a phoenix robe and a nine phoenix hairpin, she looked like a young woman next door, without the slightest momentum.
Su Yiqing and Princess Xiangshan, under the guidance of the palace maid, saluted Queen Ni in a decent manner.
Empress Ni smiled and said: "They are all their own relatives, there is no need to be too polite, please sit down quickly for the princess and the sixth princess." ”
Su Yiqing was under the guidance of the palace maid again. Take a seat in the next empty seat. As soon as she sat down, she felt the gazes of many people around her, and she remembered that even Yufeng's explanation could not show weakness, so she generously impressed those scrutinizing eyes. Smile slightly.
And so it goes. The men withdrew their gazes. Originally, they were looking at her, and she wasn't at fault. Just do it.
There are quite a lot of people in the hall, and everyone can't deliberately greet everyone every time they come in, so everyone still chats with each other.
An older lady next to her smiled and whispered to Su Yiqing, "It's the first time Princess Ding has come to the palace, right?"
Su Yiqing nodded reservedly.
The noble lady said again: "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Mu, and I am from the Ruicheng Palace." ”
Su Yiqing suddenly remembered that the princess Mu of the Ruicheng Palace, had never met before, but she had dealt with the Ruicheng Mansion a few times, especially since this Ruicheng Mansion was the mother-in-law of the county lord of Xiuwen, as well as the third daughter-in-law of the Ruicheng Wang, Ning...... And then there is the Ning Ya'er of the Ning family, speaking of which, the people in the Ruicheng Wangfu are very unkind to her, of course, she or the Dingwang Mansion is not polite to the Ruicheng Wangfu, not to mention the matter of the Xiuwen County Lord marrying a fool, that is, sending Ning Yaer back to the Ruicheng Wangfu will make the Ruicheng Wangfu people turn over on their backs, although the serious masters have not passed by, but the two families are married.
With Liang Zi, she will naturally pay attention to the movements of the Ruicheng Palace, and investigate the temperament of the ladies of the Ruicheng Palace, especially the Ruicheng Princess Mu.
I heard that this Mu family is also a simple person, and the large and small banquets on weekdays are all attended by the princess Tang Shi, the princess of the king of Ruicheng, and the Mu family herself does not come out to socialize, so she has never seen it, and she didn't expect to see it today.
In the end, there was something unpleasant, Su Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Those things before, Lu Teng also analyzed with her, King Ruicheng has been in love for half his life, there are countless concubines in the backyard, and they compete for favor, Ning's husband and the county lord of Xiuwen are all concubines, and they are not convinced by Princess Ruicheng at all, so their calculations should have nothing to do with Princess Ruicheng.
Princess Ruicheng and even the entire Ruicheng Mansion should have no hostility towards either her or the Dingwang Mansion, but having said that, they are a family after all, no matter how well the family fights, a little rational will not allow outsiders to bully, Ning Ya'er's incident at that time can be regarded as a big blow to King Ruicheng.
It is unlikely that Princess Ruicheng will act as if nothing happened, but maybe those who achieve great things can endure what others can't, and the matter has passed after all.
No matter what Mu Shi thought in his heart, he acted as if he didn't care at all, and lowered his voice and said, "You probably don't know the lady in the palace, right? ”
"Thank you...... Princess Ruicheng. Su Yiqing didn't think about how to call Princess Ruicheng for a while, it stands to reason that Princess Ruicheng is an elder, and it is not an exaggeration to call her aunt, but when she recognized her relatives, Princess Ruicheng did not come, and even Princess Tang of Ruicheng did not show up, so she sent the lowest status Ning Shi over, obviously not very respectful, plus what happened later, Su Yiqing's aunt was really unspeakable.
Mu said: "You're welcome, the first time you enter the palace, it's like this, you see that it is Ming Guifei who is sitting on the left side of the queen and wearing a smoky Luo skirt, and the blue Luo skirt on the right side of the queen is Concubine Jin, and the head of Ming Guifei is Concubine Rong, and the head of Concubine Jin is Concubine Hong......
Su Yiqing, the other concubine, didn't pay attention, and when she heard Concubine Rong's words, she pretended to be curious to look around, so she set her eyes on Concubine Rong, and her eyes happened to match Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong was also secretly looking at Su Yiqing at the moment.
Like Fang Cai, Su Yiqing did not shy away from the gaze of others, and smiled slightly at Concubine Rong, which was regarded as a greeting, but Concubine Rong, when she met Su Yiqing's sight, the whole person seemed to be very uneasy, and hurriedly looked away, and talked to others as if nothing happened.
This move further confirmed Princess Xiangshan's reminder, it seems that this Concubine Rong really has a ghost in her heart.
Su Yiqing paid attention to Concubine Rong again, she was able to enter the palace and be favored, she was naturally one in a million beauties, and Concubine Rong's beauty was undoubted, but she was in her thirties and had a daughter, plus she had already fallen out of favor, and the environment in the palace was harsh.
