Chapter 120: Enemies Meet
Queen Tie Xinfeng, it is said that she is a descendant of the mysterious family, and she is also a magician, but her strength is unknown, and it is rumored that she has assisted him in governing the country since she married Situ Leiden, pacified the turmoil, and appeased the people, she is a rare woman, her talent and appearance are double cultivation, cordial and gentle, and not extravagant and wasteful, the property obtained from the annual birthday banquet is used for charity, and she has a very high reputation among the people, and she has been married for 30 years, and has a son and a daughter, that is, the eldest prince Situ Chen, and the ninth princess Situ Hua, But some time ago, for some reason, the ninth princess died of illness, and the royal family all wore plain clothes for a day to mourn, and then the eldest princess recovered, and the matter was slowly forgotten under the joy.
However, Xiao Xue is very skeptical, will there be a mother who forgets the pain of losing her daughter? Will you laugh at the female enemy?
So when she saw the noble lady and beauty on the high platform who were kind and kind to her, and Situ Leiden, who had a calm face but complicated eyes, the corners of her mouth hooked up a touch of mockery,
didn't even have a basic salute, and just nodded politely to the queen's cordial condolences, Xiao Xue walked to the side with her brother, and Situ Zhao and Situ Yue, who were called to their mother's side as soon as they entered the hall, looked anxious when they saw this scene, and just about to step forward to remind them to ask for sin, they were stopped by their mother, Concubine Yu,
Under the surprised, worried, and gloating gazes of all the ministers, Empress Tie Xinfeng's face was calm, and Situ Leiden's face changed a few times, but in the end he just said,
"Master Xiao Xue has outstanding talents, he is a rare talent in the empire, and he has also made great contributions, so he can be exempted from etiquette!"
Everyone below was in an uproar, His Majesty actually called this girl a master?! What is this young girl's ability to receive such high praise from His Majesty? But looking at His Majesty's expression, it doesn't seem that he likes her very much? So do they want to stammer?
Just when everyone was still thinking about and hesitating about Xiao Xue's value, the shocked protagonist had already hid in a corner and ate it, this royal banquet was really not covered, the food was carefully selected, and the chef was also painstaking, with all the color, flavor and flavor, which attracted people's appetite fingers, and the two brothers and sisters tasted it elegantly while tasting it.
And after Situ Leiden made a few simple opening remarks, the queen announced the beginning of the banquet, and everyone had fun at will, without identity, without restraints, and had fun with the people!
The beautiful music played, and the gorgeous dancing girl wandered around every corner of the banquet, like fluttering colorful butterflies walking among these powerful people with status and status, making the whole atmosphere warm and relaxed, the queen accepted everyone's blessings with a smile on her wine glass, and she couldn't see the sadness of her daughter's tragic death on that beautiful face, and Situ Leiden's eyes often looked for the bright white figure in the field, and he couldn't say what he felt in his eyes, hatred? Admire? Or angry? Wooing?
"Sister Queen, Yu'er has brought Zhao'er and Yue'er to congratulate you, I wish my sister eternal youth and beauty!"
Gong Qiuyu bowed, her appearance was delicate and exquisite, and her voice was as soft as her name sprinkled like a drizzle on the bottom of your heart, nourishing your heart, but the premise is that if you ignore her words, if she doesn't deliberately emphasize the words youth and beauty, perhaps, this will be more sincere,
"Thank you sister, my sister's beauty is incomparable! These sons and daughters are even more excellent, come, reward! ”
Tie Xinfeng's beautiful eyes moved slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened a little, instead of letting them give gifts, she instead distributed red envelopes to Situ Zhao and Situ Yue, and the eyes of the surrounding concubines changed.
Gong Qiuyu's smile was a little stiff, but it was fleeting, and then he took another step forward and said,
"Thank you, sister! These two children are quite sensible, especially Yue'er, smart and well-behaved, if my sister doesn't give up, she can be loved as her own daughter, and I will let her visit her sister often and talk to her sister to relieve her boredom! ”
Tie Xinfeng's chest was a little messy, and the hands under the long-sleeved eyes stretched out a trace of blood, but his face remained the same, but his voice trembled after a little strong pressure,
"Really? That sister is really understanding, but it doesn't matter, I'm an old woman, how can I trap other people's little girls, with the appearance of Yue'er, they are the top three in this imperial capital, and the daily dates are not full, where can I get my turn! After speaking, Tie Xinfeng smiled, and without waiting for Gong Qiuyu to reply, he said,
"It just so happens that there are a lot of young people with good talents and family backgrounds today, and Yue'er has reached the age of marriage, so let's be happy today, Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Tie Xinfeng said with a happy face, as if he really thought this was the best thing to mention, and also glanced at Situ Leiden 'affectionately',
Situ Yue has always been very reluctant to come over, the mother and the queen have been fighting in the harem for more than a year and a half, and every time they must fight each other, hiding knives in their words, exposing each other's shortcomings, she really doesn't like such two people, and today's mother concubine has repeatedly mentioned the pain of losing her daughter, which really made her anxious! If you really marry her today, how can this be good?!
The heart was anxious like a carriage running over, his face was pale, his forehead was oozing fine beads of sweat, and his eyes were flustered and involuntarily looked in one direction, where the two peerless figures in white were so conspicuous in a gorgeous color, so harmonious, that people could not find a trace of the gap that blended in,
Situ Zhao looked at his sister's gaze that suddenly became dim, and also lowered his eyes......
Gong Qiuyu heard what the queen said, and hurriedly came to the other side of Situ Leiden, glanced at him infinitely aggrieved, and said delicately,
"陛xià! Look at how much my sister can scare her concubines! How old is Yue'er, why do you need to be in such a hurry to get married? Besides, this child is well-behaved, and his heart and mind are so filial to his father and mother, where can he be willing to marry! ”
This damn iron-hearted phoenix! Her daughter is gone, and she wants to get her daughter away! Hum! I knew with my toes that she would never find a good family for Yue'er, maybe it was a gentleman! She's not going to let her get away with it! Although Yue'er is a daughter, she also spent a lot of effort to cultivate, and when she marries into the four major families to get a strong backer, won't Zhao'er be more sure of ascending the throne?!
"Actually, what the queen said is not unreasonable, Yue'er has indeed reached the age of marriage......"
Situ Leiden didn't seem to see the eagerness of the mother and son, but looked thoughtful, and coincidentally, the direction of his gaze coincided with Situ Yue...... "Okay, I think everyone here should have eaten almost enough, then I will announce on behalf of the queen that this treasure appreciation conference will start now!" ”
Just when everyone was eating and drinking, a personable middle-aged man walked up to the high platform and said loudly, this person is Tie Xinwu, the younger brother of the queen's mother, and he is also the finance minister of the empire, and he has real power, so it is understandable that he represents the queen!
Everyone in the audience applauded thunderously, the annual queen's birthday banquet, this treasure is a big **, in order to please His Majesty and the queen, and also in order to show his own status and wealth, all the magnates have hollowed out their minds to get a lot of good things, so although many people spend a lot of money, but not only get a good reputation, but also get the baby, but also surprised!
"Hmm...... Eat so much, it's finally time for after-dinner entertainment! ”
Xiao Xue rubbed her round little belly, no one bothered, she and her brother ate very happily, and the entertainment started again after the meal, touching Tianfeng, Xiao Xue remembered the way Xiao Tianmin stuffed the gold card in before and couldn't help but smile, during this time, her expenses are estimated to catch up with the consumption of the entire family, but Xiao Tianmin not only didn't even blame a word, but also gave it hard, making her heart warm, is this a family? Is this grandpa? The feeling is different from her brother's pet, which makes her like this old man more and more!
Forget it, when you're not busy for a while, let's make some money, but she seems to have two more mines, so let's take a look at them when I have time.
"This treasure appraisal is the same as before, in order to avoid everyone spending money in vain, we are divided into three areas according to the value of the item, which area you are interested in and strength, you can start the appraisal auction now!"
"Oh, there's some tricks!" Xiao Xue finally knew why everyone was vying to auction some family heirlooms or things that had been worked so hard to get up, three districts? I can't stand this face? And the name is pasted on it, and there is often a phenomenon in the past conferences, that is, whoever takes out the auction items, who can also auction them back, the one with the highest price wins, anyway, it is all charity, just the gold coins are in place, and the process is not important!
Xiao Xue smiled slightly, glanced up at the elegant and noble woman, coincidentally, Tie Xinfeng was also looking at her, looking at each other, the strong hatred in her eyes was too late to hide, so she simply didn't pretend, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, she gently spit out a lip shape, and said a word silently:
"Die!"
Xiao Xue really laughed now, and the exaggerated smile fell on Xiao Han's body, her fingers stretched out, and she only made one movement to make Tie Xinfeng's face freeze, the disguise of these years was almost torn, and the hatred in her eyes was even stronger!
Ignoring this woman with split nerves, Xiao Xue was in a good mood and walked around one district after another, not closing her eyes lightly, occasionally taking one or two, but not opening it, and directly entering Tianfeng, there are really no good things on the first two floors, they are all flashy, and it didn't take long for them to finish, Xiao Xue and Xiao Han came to the third district with the most onlookers! It is also the most valuable area!
And before Xiao Xue could walk to the front, a sharp voice crossed her ears:
"Hillbilly! This is the third layer, can you afford it? Let's go home and take care of grandpa's orders! Don't be embarrassed here! ”
Frowning slightly, Xiao Xue followed the prestige, and saw a girl in pink clothes at the entrance of District 3 holding a young man looking at him hatefully, although she didn't know this girl, but the young man was an acquaintance,
Xiao family, Xiao Yu, Xiao Tianmin's grandson, the first person of the younger generation of the Xiao family!
But now he no longer has the indifferent and innocent face when they first met, but has a little more evil spirit, staring at Xiao Xue's brothers and sisters' eyes flashing with a complicated light, since the last ancestor worship ceremony He was hit by Xiao Han and Xiao Xue's brothers and sisters, locked himself in the room and was silent for a long time, and then under Qu Rufen's soft and hard and graceful guidance, he walked out of the room, and sure enough, as he thought, those children of the family looked at him with no longer the worship and envy of the past, but with a trace of contempt, He was so angry that he was so angry that after torturing a few of his children, they became afraid of him again!
And my sister, who has been playing outside today, is back, and I happened to hear about this auction, so I want to take a look at it together, he also wants to see if there will be any gains, maybe lucky, what kind of pill to get, anyway, the Xiao family, as one of the four major families, is a must-invite guest of the royal family every year, and he has also come a few times over the years, even if he is late today, he is familiar with finding the right place, who knows that he saw two enemies before he started!
