Chapter 182: Apology
Murong Qianqian trembled with anger, but she could only watch Yan Zixi leave from her side and didn't dare to stop her.
If Yan Zixi sued her at the queen's mother, then Murong Qianqian would really not be able to eat and leave.
"Little slut, I will never let you give birth to a sinister seed smoothly!" Murong Qianqian gritted her teeth and swore secretly in her heart.
……
On the other side, Yan Zixi finally came to Changde Palace.
At this time, there were already many concubines in the hall, and the queen sat at the top, followed by the concubine and the concubine.
"Princess Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion has arrived!"
With the report of a eunuch, Yan Zixi walked into the main hall with cloud steps.
Those concubines who only heard his name but didn't see him saw Yan Zixi coming, they all looked sideways, and whispered there in their mouths.
"Is she the new princess of the Zhenguo General's Mansion?"
"Yes! I heard that she is still a folk woman! ”
"So what? You're afraid you don't know, right? She is not only highly skilled, but also talented, and the emperor and queen love her! ”
"That's it, she's a big celebrity now, so let's have a good relationship with her......"
Yan Zixi listened to the discussion around her, but she didn't take it to heart, she walked straight to the front of the steps, knelt down respectfully, and saluted the queen.
"Yan Zixi of the Zhenguo General's Mansion see the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old! I've seen all the mothers ......."
When the queen mother saw Yan Zixi coming, a smile appeared on her face, and she waved her hand and said, "Zixi, no need to be polite, hurry up!" ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Yan Zixi responded, and then slowly got up.
At the same time, Murong Qianqian also entered the hall.
Murong Qianqian walked over with a straight face, and also knelt down to the queen mother and the concubines.
The queen mother saw that Murong Qianqian's face was not very good, and she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Qianqian, what's wrong with you?" Who bullied you, why, such an ugly face? ”
"Is there one? Maybe I didn't sleep last night, so the queen was worried. Murong Qianqian didn't dare to tell the conflict with Yan Zixi on the road, she glared at Yan Zixi fiercely, and returned to Xiao Niangniang's side.
The queen didn't care about her anymore, but shifted her gaze to Yan Zixi's body again, and said with a smile in her mouth: "Zixi, come, come and sit here in the palace." ”
As soon as the queen mother said this, an uproar immediately sounded in the hall.
Yan Zixi didn't know why the queen asked her to sit with her in public, didn't it make it clear that she would become the target of public criticism?
But since the queen mother said so, how could Yan Zixi refuse?
Yan Zixi thanked her, then walked up the steps and sat next to the queen mother.
The queen mother glanced at Yan Zixi carefully, and couldn't help but praise, "Well, the last time I saw you was a month ago, and I heard that you were held hostage by Zhao Rushen a few days ago, how about it, didn't you get hurt?" ”
"Queen Lao is worried, Zixi just suffered a little skin injury, and she is almost fine." Yan Zixi replied truthfully.
"Well, that's good."
When everyone heard that the queen mother cared so much about this Yan Zixi, they were jealous and envious in their hearts.
Yan Zixi is a smart person, this queen mother takes care of herself so highly, there must be another deep meaning, but Yan Zixi can't figure out the queen mother's mind for the time being.
After the queen mother finished asking, she then looked at everyone and explained to all the concubines and concubines about the various matters of tonight's birthday banquet for the concubine and the mother.
Yan Zixi was not interested in this birthday banquet in the first place, so she didn't listen attentively when the queen mother said, she was a little distracted, and her eyes wandered back and forth on the concubines and concubines present.
Except for Concubine Niangniang and Xia Guiren, Yan Zixi also saw Her Royal Highness the Second Imperial Concubine.
At this moment, the second imperial concubine also cast a meaningful glance at Yan Zixi, and Yan Zixi hurriedly avoided her gaze and looked away.
The long time for speaking was finally over, and the queen asked everyone to go down to rest, and Yan Zixi breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Zixi walked outside the hall and was about to walk around the courtyard, but the second imperial concubine came over with a kind of concubines.
"Princess Xiao, don't come unharmed!"
Yan Zixi turned around when she heard this, and when she saw that it was the second imperial concubine coming, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.
"Second Imperial Princess, don't come unharmed!" Yan Zixi lowered her head and leaned over to salute the second imperial concubine. For the Honored Academy
The corners of the second imperial concubine's mouth hooked up with a gentle and deep sneer, "Princess Xiao, in the past, the palace was goodbye, you and I had a lot of misunderstandings, and this imperial concubine is here to make amends to you." ”
Yan Zixi was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect that the second princess would stop herself, and she came to apologize to herself.
This really made Yan Zixi feel strange.
Yan Zixi also smiled slightly, and replied: "Second Imperial Concubine, don't say that, I can't afford it." ”
"Princess Xiao, what do you mean by that? Do you not accept the apology of this imperial princess? Are you still resentful of Hongu? ”
"The second imperial concubine's words are wrong, how could Zixi not accept the imperial concubine's apology, and how could she resent you? The imperial concubine is not at fault, so why apologize to me? ”
Yan Zixi didn't believe that this second imperial concubine would have such a good intention, and took the initiative to apologize to herself for no reason, and she didn't know what kind of careful thinking she was there.
When the concubines and concubines standing behind the second imperial concubine heard that Yan Zixi was still so ignorant, they immediately discussed there and accused her.
"Hmph, the imperial princess is generous, this Princess Xiao really doesn't know what to do!"
"It's just that it's been so long, and I've been holding a grudge in my heart, really!"
Everyone rolled their eyes and glanced at Yan Zixi angrily.
When the second imperial concubine heard these discussions, she laughed proudly. seemed to enjoy the feeling of seeing Yan Zixi eat deflated. She just wants Yan Zixi to suffer from everyone's eyes and spit.
How beautiful she was in the queen just now, and now she wants to make Yan Zixi embarrassed.
Yan Zixi suppressed the anger in her heart, her face was still silent, "Second Imperial Concubine, I understand your kindness, you and I have no misunderstanding, and you don't need to apologize to me, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." Saying that, Yan Zixi turned around and walked outside the hall.
A rebuke sounded from behind.
"Look, look, what kind of attitude is this!"
"That's it, it's so presumptuous to talk to the second princess like this, it's just that you don't take the second princess in your eyes!"
"Yes, relying on being loved by the queen's mother, there is no one in her eyes, and in the future, the tail will go to the sky!"
……
After Yan Zixi left Changde Palace, she went to find Xiao Jingcong to join her.
Xiao Jingcong saw Yan Zixi coming back from a distance, hurriedly walked over, and asked with a concerned face.
"Xi'er, is it going smoothly to Changde Palace?"
Yan Zixi nodded, "Well, it's going well, the queen also likes me very much, and she has said a lot to me." ”
Yan Zixi was afraid that Xiao Jingcong would be worried, so she didn't say anything about Murong Qianqian's opposition to herself, after all, Xiao Jingcong and Murong Qianqian's previous relationship was also very close, and Yan Zixi didn't want to destroy their previous relationship.
As for the second imperial concubine's apology to herself, Yan Zixi thought for a moment, but still said it truthfully, "By the way, Jing Cong, when I left the palace, the second imperial concubine specially stopped me and apologized to me, what do you think?" ”
"What did you say, the second princess apologized to you?" When Xiao Jingcong heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, and she also fell into deep thought.
"It's really strange, first the second prince, and now the second princess...... Do they really want to be reconciled to us? Yan Zixi asked tentatively.
Xiao Jingcong shook his head and replied not optimistically: "According to the husband, the second prince and the second princess definitely have another hidden reason for doing this. ”
"Jing Cong, do you also think that the second prince and the second princess are not well-intentioned?" Although Yan Zixi also thought so, she always felt a little strange.
"Well, for the time being, I can't guess their purpose, maybe they want to win over our general Zhenguo, or maybe the emperor told him...... In short, let's take one step at a time, if the second prince and the second princess are sincere, it's fine, if it really harbors evil intentions, then the king will definitely not sit idly by. ”
Xiao Jingcong clenched his fist vigorously and secretly made an oath. Then he glanced at Yan Zixi with soft eyes, and said softly: "Xi'er, don't worry, your husband will definitely protect you thoroughly, and he will never let anyone bully you!" ”
"Jingcong, it's enough to have your words." Hearing Xiao Jingcong say this, Yan Zixi's heart was touched, and she threw herself into Xiao Jingcong's arms.
For Xiao Jingcong, no matter how much grievances he suffers, it is worth it.
Xiao Jingcong took Yan Zixi around the palace for a while, and the sky gradually darkened, and Concubine Shu's birthday banquet was about to start. The two of them no longer hung out, so Xiao Jingcong took Yan Zixi's hand and walked straight to the palace.
Along the way, the ministers and their wives they met were all envious. After all, being able to be so informal like Xiao Jingcong, and being so affectionate with his princess in front of everyone is unprecedented.
When the time came, the emperor and the queen and the concubines walked up to the main hall.
The officials and their wives also gathered in the main hall and bowed down one after another.
"Ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live! See the queen mother and all the mothers, the mother Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
The emperor glanced at everyone and said majestically: "All Aiqing is flat, all of them are seated!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After thanksgiving, the ministers led their wives to their respective seats and sat down.
