Chapter 153: Alienation
The second day is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
At noon on this day, the three princes Su Yuanchen will hold a banquet in the palace of the king of Chen, and invite several princes and ladies of the palace to attend.
Speaking of which, this has been a practice for many years, since the eldest son of the emperor died early, after the death of the second prince, the third prince has now become the eldest brother among the princes, so every year at this time, he will take advantage of the joy of the New Year, pick a head, let the brothers get together and have a lively time.
Su Wanqing, as Su Yuanyi's side concubine, was naturally invited, and it was this morning that Hongfu and Biwu waited for Su Wanqing to bathe and freshen up, and began to prepare clothes and jewelry for their master to go to the banquet.
Considering that this kind of family banquet is different from the past, this time there are no elders in charge, and there are no outsiders present, all of them are princes and princesses of the same generation, most of whom are more noble than Su Wanqing, and they are likely to compare with each other in appearance, Su Wanqing should not be too ostentatious, Hong Fu thought about it for a while, and decided to focus on the elegant and low-key dress.
The clothes are easy to choose, although none of the four clothes sent by Tailor Li at the beginning fit, but fortunately, when the Taiwei Mansion was making clothes before, Xiao Jiang's family asked Su Wanqing to send a few clothes to meet guests in the New Year according to the old practice, and Su Wanqing has not worn them yet, which can come in handy on this day.
Hongfu took a look and chose a piece with strong color embellishments in Qingli, looking low-key and subtle, and at the same time not losing the joy of the New Year.
When it was time to pick up the head jewelry, Biwu felt that she couldn't dress too plainly, so as not to make her master look too shabby among the princesses and concubines. Especially with her understanding of Shen Qingyi these days, Shen Qingyi will definitely attend in full costume. If Su Wanqing blindly keeps a low profile, I am afraid that she will inevitably be ridiculed by Shen Qingyi.
Hongfu felt that it was not unreasonable when she heard it, and thought about it for a while. took out the gold silk and white jade swaying that Su Yuanyi sent.
In this way, in the eyes of others who don't know the origin of the step, Su Wanqing is dressed in a low-key and noble manner, and she will not let Shen Qingyi look down on her.
Bi Wu understood Hongfu's intentions and nodded with satisfaction.
Just when the two of them were busy choosing jewelry for Su Wanqing, the party was sitting at the table and slowly drinking the mixed porridge that Lan Shu had just delivered, with no expression on his face. Obviously, there is a lack of interest in going to the banquet.
It's not that Su Wanqing doesn't look down on this banquet, it's just that after last night's incident, she didn't want to appear on the same occasion as Su Yuanyang for a while. Especially the scene where Su Yuanyi finally brushed her sleeves away because of this, which really made her feel at ease.
However, because of this, she couldn't help but go. After all, she and Su Yuanyi broke up unhappily last night. It's not good for her to make the two of them suspicious at this juncture.
Su Wanqing stirred the porridge in the bowl twice with a spoon and sighed slightly.
This noon passed quickly.
When it was almost noon, Su Wanqing was dressed up under the service of the maids, reading a book, while waiting for Su Yuanyi to come and leave with a message.
It's just that the book is turning page by page, and she has been reading it for a while, but she hasn't seen any movement. I couldn't help but mutter.
Su Wanqing thought about it and glanced up at Biwu. He said, "What time is this, you go to the Nine Courtyard and see what the situation is." ”
"Slave and maid, go now." Bi Wu was also a little strange in her heart, and immediately received the order, pulled her legs and walked out, but when she was about to step out of the west courtyard, a woman came in from outside, and almost bumped into Bi Wu's arms.
"Eh! Here's how to walk! The woman shrewdly dodged, leaning against the door and caressing her chest in some panic.
Bi Wu was also a little unsteady, fixed her steps, and raised her eyes to look at the person who came, "I'm sorry, I ......" At this point, Bi Wu saw the identity of the person who came, so she stood up, she paused for a moment, and then pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "Huh? For the New Year, what kind of wind is blowing, and the jade girl is blown here. ”
Yuji's thin eyebrows raised slightly, and she snorted and said, "I naturally have something to pass on to the side concubine, and the time can't be delayed, so you don't report it quickly." ”
Bi Wu looked at Yuji, and saw that there was a smug look between her eyebrows, and couldn't help but secretly feel that something was wrong, so she put aside her errand to go to the Nine Courtyards first, and led Yuji into the room.
Several people in the room were a little surprised to see Yuji coming, Yuji saluted, raised her eyes and glanced at Su Wanqing, her eyes stopped for a moment when she passed the step on her hair, and then the smile was a little meaningful.
Su Wanqing saw the strangeness in Yuji's smile, thought about it, and simply got straight to the point: "Miss Yuji ran this trip today, I don't know what the princess ordered?" ”
Yuji looked at Su Wanqing and smiled, "Back to the side concubine, the slave maid came over today, not by the order of the princess, but by the prince's meaning, but just now the princess and the princess are in the same place, it happened that the bamboo frost girl had something inconvenient to come over, so the slave maid passed it on behalf of the princess." ”
Su Wanqing was slightly stunned, looked at Yuji's expression and said, "What did the prince say?" ”
The expression with a slight smile on Yuji's lips remained unchanged, and she lowered her eyes and said: "The prince instructed that the princess can attend the banquet in the palace today, and the concubine does not have to go." ”
What the?!
As soon as these words came out, several people present were stunned.
No one in Yiwangfu doesn't know, Su Yuanyi and Su Wanqing got along very well a few days ago, and even went to the study to complain that Su Wanqing's servants who frequently went out of the mansion were punished with a cane and punished twenty times.
Hongfu and the others were in shock for a while, and couldn't help but look in the direction of their master.
Although Su Wanqing was also a little surprised, she didn't expect it at all, after the imperceptible stunned by others, her face was as calm as usual, but the fingers under her sleeves were clenched. At this point, she suddenly understood why Jade would smile so ambiguously when she saw the swaying steps.
Here, she put a Su Yuanyi's reward in her hair with great fanfare, wanting to show Shen Qingyi her weight in Su Yuanyi's eyes, but over there, Su Yuanyi showed her estrangement in front of Shen Qingyi......
This time, she has lost face!
Su Wanqing groaned, thousands of thoughts flashed in her mind, she raised her eyes to look at Yuji, and said indifferently: "Okay, I know, you go down." ”
The corners of Yuji's lips raised slightly, and the blessed body retreated.
"Master......" There were no outsiders in the house, and Hongfu couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw that Su Wanqing's face was not very good.
Bi Wu was also a little confused, and wondered: "Master, what is going on, prince?" ”
Su Wanqing didn't want to say much, she only shook her head, sighed secretly, and shook the step, "Put it away." ”
Hongfu and Biwu glanced at each other, and bowed their heads. (To be continued.) )
