Li An felt a little strange, and his heart sank slightly.

It would have been enough if Mo Yan had asked him about this back then, after all, Mo Yan was the person next to Princess Qinghe, and he had never looked down on these people in his heart.

It's just that why even Xia Ruan asks like this now?

Could it be that he really knew Mo Yan?

Ang Lee thought it was incredible, how could he know Mo Yan.

Ink is ......

When sitting in the carriage, Li An still had some doubts in his eyes.

Xia Ruan glanced at Li An, pursed his lips and did not speak.

I don't remember, that's the best.

This time, preparations for Empress Jiang's birthday banquet began several months in advance. At this time, the flowers and shadows outside the Jiaotai Hall are colorful, and the lights reflect each other everywhere. Xia Ruan looked up and saw the imperial concubine Xu standing beside Empress Jiang. Over the years, the imperial concubine has been eating fasting and chanting Buddha, and rarely stepped out of Chuxiu Palace. The imperial concubine wants to keep a low profile, but in fact, it won't be low-key for long, because the imperial concubine's sister Xu Yinsheng, the concubine of Daqin, is the biological mother of the sixth prince Qin Xian.

The Xu family has always been cautious, and even a person like Empress Jiang who must repay his flaws does not have much opinion on the two sisters, Imperial Concubine and Concubine Hui.

It can be seen that the status of the sisters of the Xu family in the palace is no longer comparable to that of Concubine Zeng and Concubine An.

It's just that......

Xia Ruan glanced at her mother beside her, and followed everyone to worship Queen Jiang, a peaceful scene.

Emperor Jianguang showed up at the birthday banquet for a while, saying that she was not feeling well and left, although Empress Jiang's face was a little embarrassed, but Emperor Jianguang's departure did not affect her to complete the next plan. She held the wine bottle and glanced at Ning Guiren not far away. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Empress Jiang invited everyone to listen to the play together, and Li felt a little uncomfortable, so she still followed hard.

Xia Ruan followed behind her mother and walked on the flower and stone road, on this road, various patterns were made of small stones of various colors, which made people feel pleasing to the eye. In the precincts, there is also a pavilion that symbolizes the four seasons. At this time, although it is already winter, the surrounding scene is not as depressed as imagined. There are already a lot of flowers in the garden. You can even smell a faint scent of plum.

Every plant and tree here is carefully selected.

"Did you see that? The pavilions over there are all made of nanmu. The woman lowered her voice, "What is planted in front of you is a rare peace flower. I'm telling you this. It is also for you to see for a long time. ”

"Thank you, Bishop Shire."

Xia Ruan felt that this voice felt slightly familiar. She glanced at the woman not far in front of her. But he couldn't help but smile on his lips.

The person in front of him dressed in a white coat was none other than Qin Changning, the favorite daughter of the Twelve Princes.

After arriving in Kyoto from Dongyang County, Xia Ruan never heard of Qin Changning again.

Obviously, the Twelve Princes have come together with Bei Xiao's people in private. Otherwise, Qin Changning would not have followed Xiao Kangwen's side. The eldest prince is now in power, and the faces of the twelve princes are also bright, not to mention Qin Changning, who has always been very self-assured.

The woman standing next to Qin Changning lowered her head, and the clothes on her body were too elegant, which seemed out of place with the people around her.

Especially when she inadvertently pulled the fox fur on her body, revealing a pair of flawed white jade bracelets on her fair wrists. She didn't seem to notice the sarcastic look in Qin Changning's eyes beside her, and she still looked like she was low-browed.

"Miss Gu Ba." Qin Changning's face was a little proud, "Don't look at it." ”

After hearing this title, Xia Ruan thought for a while, and didn't remember who this person was.

Until the end, Qin Changning was a little angry, raised his voice and called: "Gu Xirou, I'm talking to you, why are you stunned?" ”

Xia Ruan then remembered that she had heard the name.

It's just that she looked at Gu Xirou, who was smiling in front of Qin Changning, and she couldn't overlap with the cold and arrogant person in her previous life.

Xia Ruan lowered his head, somewhat confused in his heart.

After the people around arrived at the place, they began to sit down one after another, and Xia Ruan was just about to talk to his mother, when he saw a reckless little palace maid come over, and then hit the hot tea on Li's body.

"Yikes." Li Shi let out a low sigh of being burned, and then quickly returned to his original appearance.

Xia Ruan hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped the hem of Li's clothes: "Mother, are you okay?" ”

The little palace maid was frightened, and she quickly knelt on the ground: "Madam, Miss, forgive me." The slave didn't mean it, the slave was wrong. ”

The lady who came to congratulate the queen on her birthday today is either a relative of the emperor or a relative of the court. At this time, the little palace maid was already frightened, and she was trembling so much that she seemed to be able to faint in the next moment.

Li smiled helplessly: "It's okay, you get up." ”

Seeing that her mother had spoken, Xia Ruan pursed her lips and looked a little unhappy.

The little palace maid kowtowed and continued: "The slave knows that she is wrong, madam, the slave and the maid really know that she is wrong. ”

Xia Ruan's brows frowned slightly, and before she could open her mouth to speak, Queen Jiang, who had just taken her seat, noticed the situation here.

"What's going on?" Empress Jiang was a little displeased, "This palace has neglected everyone?" ”

Empress Jiang hit a rake, and the frightened Li knelt on the ground: "The queen's mother is angry, and the women dare not ......"

Xia Ruan soon knelt on the ground as well, she knew that this little palace maid must have done it on purpose.

Although there have been a lot of people coming and going in recent days, these palace maids have always been trained by the old ladies of various palaces before they dare to be placed by the side of the concubines. How could it be possible to make such a mistake, and the mother had already said that it didn't matter, but this little palace maid still refused to 'beg for mercy', in the eyes of outsiders, this became the Li family's unreasonable trouble.

After all, no one knows what they said.

At this time, the atmosphere in the garden was a little awkward, and no one spoke, because Empress Jiang's face was already very bad.

Empress Jiang wanted to put Xia Ruan to death this time, because Xia Ruan knew too many things.

If this matter is said by Xia Ruan, then her position as queen may really not be able to be kept.

Because, Daqin doesn't need a queen who is about to go crazy.

Mindful Dan. Why did Xia Ruan know the name of the medicine she was taking?

Empress Jiang has been thinking about this matter every night these days, will the Li family tell Xia Ruan the news? This is obviously impossible, Li Zhiya and Li Changfeng have never been so untrustworthy, even if they love Xia Ruan a lot, they will not tell Xia Ruan about her.

Could it be that Ang Lee told Xia Ruan?

The more Empress Jiang thought about it, the more frightened she became, she was anxious to summon Xia Ruan into the palace again, but she didn't want to hear the news of Xia Ruan's serious illness from outside.

However, she had a way to make Xia Ruan have to enter the palace......

Empress Jiang looked at Xia Ruan and Li who were kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Back to the Queen's mother." Xia Ruan replied softly, "Someone spilled tea on my mother just now. ”

The little palace maid looked at Xia Ruan in surprise. A panicked look was revealed.

Obviously careless...... How did it get to Xia Ruan's mouth, it was deliberate.

Empress Jiang obviously didn't expect Xia Ruan to say this. She was still waiting for Xia Ruan to say that it was the little palace maid who accidentally poured the tea on Li's body. In this way, she can reprimand the Li family, take care of small things, and show her generosity. But I didn't expect Xia Ruan to say. The little palace maid deliberately spilled tea on Li's body.

There was no one around to see how things really happened. Xia Ruan can say whatever he wants.

After all, the status of a small palace maid is low. If the queen helps the little palace maid, anyone can see that the queen is deliberately finding fault.

The little palace maid hurriedly shook her head: "Queen Mother, the slave didn't mean it." ”

"Didn't you mean to?" Xia Ruan looked at the little palace maid suspiciously. said lightly: "You poured tea on my mother, my mother saw that today was the queen's birthday, so she naturally didn't want to disturb the queen's mother's Yaxing, and my mother had already said that it was okay." But you still knelt on the ground...... This ......"

Xia Ruan finished halfway through his words, and the people around him were already watching this matter with some mentality of watching the show.

No one expected that Miss Xia Jiasan would be so clumsy.

At this time, he actually dared to confront the queen......

It seems that it is rumored that the third lady of the Xia family is a smart person, but it is just a rumor.

Empress Jiang stared at the little palace maid kneeling on the ground: "Sydney, is that so?" ”

"Queen, that's not the case." Sydney's face turned pale at this time, she didn't expect Xia Ruan to dare to say this matter, after all, this would offend Queen Jiang, Sydney replied tremblingly, "The slave didn't mean it, it's not ...... Not intentionally. ”

Concubine Zeng glanced at it and said to Queen Jiang: "Sydney is the person next to the queen's mother, and the queen will definitely handle this matter impartially." ”

Empress Jiang raised her eyes and glanced at Concubine Zeng, with a hint of viciousness in her eyes.

After half a while, Empress Jiang said slowly: "Come on, take Sydney to the palace." Mama Xie, if you take Mrs. Li to the palace to change clothes, you will give Mrs. Li the clothes embroidered with peacocks. ”

Mama Xie is an old mama who has been with Queen Jiang for many years, and she immediately understood what the queen meant.

She hurriedly nodded: "The old slave knows." ”

Mama Xie slowly walked to Li's side and smiled, "Mrs. Li, please come with the old slave to ......."

Empress Jiang rewarded the Li family with clothes, such a move showed that Empress Jiang was generous.

But Xia Ruan felt that this thing was a little strange.

Empress Jiang is so easy to compromise, it is not like Empress Jiang's style at all, she looked up at Zeng Guifei, and it happened that Zeng Guifei was also looking at her.

It seemed to be a satire of her ignorance.

She is already playing dull in front of these people, it's just ......

"Mother." Xia Ruan whispered to Li, "Be careful. ”

Li Shi looked at Xia Ruan in a little surprise and nodded: "Don't worry, mother will go back as soon as she goes." ”

But for some reason, Xia Ruan always felt a little uneasy.

This time, it seems that everything is premeditated.

She clenched her fists, could it be Queen Jiang, has she already found out? (To be continued......)
