Chapter 523: Everyone's Thoughts
As soon as Cen Biao's words came out, except for the two brothers Cen Hongyi and Cen Hongmian, who already knew the news, the rest of the Cen family was stunned!
The Queen Mother Xuancen Xiyan entered the palace?! Why is that? Cen Xiyan has only been back in Beijing for a long time! Even the circle of nobles in the capital hasn't been mixed up, why did the Queen Mother think of her? actually sent someone to inform her to follow Mrs. Cen and the eldest lady into the palace together!
Moreover, she is still a concubine! How can she have enough identity to go to the palace banquet on the first day of junior high school!
Not only were the people in the Cen family puzzled, Cen Xiyan was also stunned for a moment when he heard the words from the palace, and then frowned, the Queen Mother wants to see her? Why? She thought about it and thought of several answers, but she was not sure why the Queen Mother wanted to see her.
"The Empress Dowager's decree is to let the six girls enter the palace?" At this time, Mrs. Cen opened her mouth and asked with certainty.
"Yes, mother." Cen Wei bowed and replied.
"Why did the Queen Mother suddenly ask the six girls to follow into the palace?" Old Mrs. Cen asked again.
Cen Biao thought for a while and said: "Father-in-law Yu said that the Queen Mother heard that Xiyan has been away from Beijing for many years, and now that she is back, she has been thinking about seeing it, and recently I heard some rumors about Xiyan, so I wanted to see it even more, so I took the opportunity of the first palace banquet and passed on the decree of Yi, so that when my mother and wife entered the palace, Xiyan was also brought with me." ”
Cen Biao guessed a few times in his heart, but he couldn't guess what the Queen Mother was thinking, so he directly took out the set of rhetoric of the chief manager.
When Mrs. Cen heard this, she pondered for a moment, then looked at Cen Xiyan and said, "Then the six girls, you go and prepare, and follow your grandmother and your mother into the palace in a while." ”
"Yes, grandmother." Although Cen Xiyan was reluctant to enter the palace in her heart, she also knew that this was something that she could not refuse, so she could only nod her head and agree.
Some of the people in the room tried their best to keep their faces calm, but in their hearts, they were all thinking about it, even whether it was a taste or not.
Zhao Shi stared at Cen Xiyan, his eyes were cold and vicious! Her daughter is also quite famous in the circle of nobles in the capital, but for so many years, the Queen Mother has not said that she wants to pass her daughter into the palace to participate in the New Year's Palace banquet! These six girls are all concubines, and they have only been back in Beijing for a few days, why is she looked at differently by the Queen Mother!
Zhao's heart is very unbalanced! However, of course, these words in my heart could not be said in public, and after sweeping Cen Xiyan, he immediately withdrew his gaze.
Not only is Zhao's heart unbalanced, but even Aunt Lu, who gave birth to the fifth young master Cen Hongche in the second room, and Aunt Dou, who gave birth to the ninth miss Cen Xifang, is not a taste in her heart.
One of them gave birth to a boy, and the other gave birth to the youngest lady in Cen Mansion, although they are all concubines, they have always been raised in front of the old lady, how can they be more favored than the sixth lady Cen Xiyan who just returned to the house! Why can she enter the palace, but their children can't!
Cen Hongmian and Cen Xitong's biological mother, Aunt Feng, also felt a little sour in her heart, but she has always kept a low profile in the house, and she is used to it, but she doesn't have too much jealousy.
In addition to a few aunts, the juniors also have different feelings in their hearts.
Cen Hongyi and Cen Hongmian are okay, one of them is the prince of the Hou Mansion, and the other has an official position, and they all have to participate in the first year of the junior high school, so naturally they will not be jealous of Cen Xiyan. Moreover, they don't have any ill feelings towards Cen Xiyan itself, especially Cen Hongmian, who can be said to have a very good relationship with Cen Xiyan.
However, Cen Hongmian was a little worried about Cen Xiyan in his heart, the Queen Mother suddenly sent the sixth sister to attend the banquet, the purpose is not clear, but it is better not to have any accidents......
Cen Xiqin now almost regards Cen Xiyan as an object of worship, and naturally she will not be jealous of her, like Cen Hongmian, she feels that the Queen Mother's decree is unusual, and she is also a little worried about Cen Xiyan in her heart.
Cen Xitong's heart was a little sour, but she quickly adjusted her mentality, she knew that she couldn't be as casual as Cen Xiyan, so she still had to keep a low profile and reduce her sense of existence, so that she could live a stable life in this high-door mansion.
Cen Xifen couldn't hide her emotions, and glared at Cen Xiyan angrily, feeling that this country girl who was in the limelight everywhere was really annoying!
Cen Xihan's face was very calm, but the hands and knuckles in the sleeves were pinched white by her! She couldn't figure out why many things changed when Cen Xiyan returned home! Obviously, she is the best one among Miss Cen Fu, but now, everyone's eyes are focused on Cen Xiyan! Even the man she has liked for a few years is disdainful of her, and there is only this damn Cen Xiyan in her eyes! Why is that? Why exactly?!!
Cen Hongyu's gaze at Cen Xiyan was also very resentful, he was the fourth young master of the Cen family, and he was a man! didn't have the opportunity to participate in the dynasty, Cen Xiyan, a dead girl, actually fell into the eyes of the queen mother! How can he be willing!
Cen Hongche and Cen Xifang are still too young, and their minds are still relatively pure, so there are only the two of them, and they don't have any feelings for the queen mother's will.
Cen Xiyan received all kinds of eyes from everyone, she was very impatient, but her face was still calm and calm, no matter what the queen mother's purpose was, and no matter what everyone thought, she didn't bother to speculate about those thoughts.
Seeing Cen Xiyan's calm face, Old Taijun Cen couldn't help nodding secretly, this girl's performance was quite atmospheric, and when she entered the palace, she shouldn't lose the face of the Cen family.
"It's almost time, six girls, seven girls, eight girls, you all go back to your yard and clean up." Old Mrs. Cen said.
"Yes, grandmother." The three sisters agreed in unison.
On the first day of the new year, the sons and daughters of each province, the men with official positions, and the wives of each province with the title of edict must participate.
Cen Xiqin and Cen Xifen are both concubines, although Cen Xifen is the young lady of the second room, but her father and brother are also people with official positions, so they are naturally qualified to participate in the palace banquet.
If there is no queen mother's decree, the concubines who participated in the palace banquet in Cen Mansion this year would be the same as in previous years, only Cen Xiqin and Cen Xifen.
This year is the first time Cen Xiyan has participated in the palace banquet, although she seems to be a calm character, but Cen Lao Taijun is still not at ease, after thinking about it, she sent two capable maids and mother-in-law around her, and followed Cen Xiyan to Jinglan Pavilion, asking them to help Cen Xiyan dress up, match clothes, accessories, etc., in addition, talk about the precautions for entering the palace, regular etiquette, etc.
Cen Xiyan naturally would not refuse the kindness of Old Taijun Cen, and took his two maids, Jingshuang and Yingxue, as well as the two right-hand men of Furong Garden, and returned to Jinglan Pavilion together.
