Seeing Tong Ruoyao today, Bai Yanran understood why she avoided herself and went out early, I am afraid that it was not just to show her face.

No wonder Xiaoba was hesitant when he talked about the reward given to Tong Ruoyao by the queen that day, and suddenly blamed himself again.

It is really a set of ceremonies given by the queen that has crossed the rank of a concubine, almost no different from the princess, and the meaning is self-evident.

At this time, Tong Ruoyao was dressed up like this, and was taken by Concubine Shu to greet the same officials and wives.

Concubine Shu gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses and is now being favored, and she has always been close to the queen, which is already a well-known thing. My sister Tong Ruoyao is the concubine of King An, and now she is so swaggering, which naturally makes people think about it more.

I heard that it was the head of the queen's mother who personally rewarded her, and then thought that the queen had allowed her to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, everyone naturally felt bright, even if it was for the face of the queen and Concubine Shu, they would inevitably have to flatter a few words.

Tong Ruoyao is arrogant, and her shelf is bigger than Concubine Shu, and she ignores some ladies who don't have obvious family backgrounds. Her appearance secretly offended many people, and everyone even despised her status as a concubine.

The people who can go to the banquet are all the ladies of the main room and the daughters of the family, and the ladies naturally look down on Tong Ruoyao's identity, and the ladies don't despise her behavior, so they don't want to talk to her.

Princess Changping couldn't stand it anymore, so she was about to step forward and say a few words, but was stopped by Bai Yanran.

"The princess doesn't need to be angry, it's just a bluff. Today is the queen mother's banquet, if the princess stirs up this banquet and makes the mother's back ugly, forget it. ”

Bai Yanran's words have a deep meaning, the queen held a banquet, but Concubine Shu and Tong Ruoyao dared to be so blatant, obviously at the queen's behest. Although Princess Changping didn't take Concubine Shu in her eyes, she didn't want to offend the queen.

Princess Changping heard the meaning of her words, and also calmed down, and finally sighed and said, "I have wronged you." Not far away, a maid came to look for her, and Princess Changping had to go.

Bai Yanran's gaze moved away from Tong Ruoyao's head and saw Han Jin and Zhilan beside her.

The two of them packed up today in a rather magnificent manner, they were all dressed in new dresses, and at a glance, they knew that they were not made by the people in the house, but should have been rewarded by Tong Ruoyao herself. The most eye-catching thing is the bracelet on the wrist of the two, which happens to be somewhat familiar.

At this moment, another group of people came into the door, and everyone saluted when they saw it, even Concubine Shu was no exception, it was Qi Simin who came. But she didn't come by herself, she was followed by Mrs. Zuo and Mrs. Yu, and the two of them also led Zuo Weiyu and Yu Shanshan respectively.

Bai Yanran was a little surprised when she saw this situation, and hesitated for a moment whether to step forward. Qi Simin in the car finally got out and looked for him, as if he was the rest of his life.

Bai Yanran asked, "Which one are you doing today?" ”

Qi Simin sighed and said, "When I got out of the carriage, I found that the carriage of the prime minister's wife on the left and right was parked on the left and right. They came down and greeted me, and I couldn't shirk it, and then they came in in a daze. ”

Bai Yanran knew in her heart that Qi Simin was calculating.

It is rare that these two ladies will also work together, probably because they have already learned that their daughter wants to be the prince's concubine, but now they have not moved and are a little panicked, so they took today's opportunity to test.

Bai Yanran said: "Their thoughts have been revealed, and you have known about this matter for a long time, but for some reason there has been no movement. ”

Qi Simin suddenly blushed when he heard this, and saw that everyone else was far away, so he approached Bai Yanran and said: "I have inquired with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the emperor does have this intention, but he is determined not to take a concubine until I am pregnant." I know he's doing it for my good, and now my stomach is tightened. ”

Bai Yanran was even more surprised, but she was also happy for Qi Simin.

Whatever the prince's reasons for making such a decision, it is clear that he attaches great importance to Qi Simin. So even if the two side concubines play any conspiracy after entering the door in the future, there will be the prince to protect Qi Simin.

Qi Simin turned to worry about Bai Yanran, and sighed: "I originally knew that this Tong Ruoyao was not a safe person, and I didn't want to ask you before, for fear that you would be upset." Now that Tong Ruoyao is really flamboyant and frivolous, she dares to wear such a face to the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

But I just heard from others that this face is actually the queen's reward, but is it true? ”

Before Bai Yanran could speak, Su Xin couldn't help it anymore, and complained: "The crown princess listened well, Aunt Tong's current head mask was rewarded by the queen's mother, and she specially asked her to come to this hundred flowers banquet."

You didn't see the smug appearance of Concubine Shu and Aunt Tong, and you don't know how the queen mother ......."

Bai Yanran and Qi Simin have been friends for many years, and Su Xin is naturally familiar with her, and knows that she is a person who really thinks about Bai Yanran, so she has no scruples when she speaks, and Zhu Ling next to her tugged at her cuffs.

Bai Yanran finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and scolded: "Su Xin! ”

Su Xin noticed that Bai Yanran's face was very ugly, so she hurriedly stopped. Bai Yanran shook her head in disappointment, then turned her head and stopped looking at her, Su Xin was a little aggrieved, and remembered that she was punished for contradicting the queen last time, and she didn't dare to be wronged.

Qi Simin took Bai Yanran's hand and said: "Su Xin's words are indeed out of proportion, but why do you and I have to mind this, I naturally feel sorry for you." ”

Bai Yanran sighed: "I naturally know this, but the world is full of walls and ears, especially in the palace, there are many people, and there are three layers of waves without wind, and how many disasters come out of the mouth, but they still don't have such a long memory." ”

Su Xin couldn't raise her head when she was said, and her eyes were slightly red.

Qi Simin also sighed: "There was no such trouble at home before, I just felt sorry for the situation of you and your aunt." Now it's not just you, I'm not going to be quiet for a few days. I don't have your cleverness, I'm afraid I'm going to have a hard time in the future. ”

Bai Yanran persuaded her instead, "You don't have to think like this, after all, you are the crown princess, and you are not an ordinary identity in the end, even His Royal Highness the crown prince will not let the mansion mess up the dignity and inferiority." ”

Qi Simin was a little relieved at this time, and asked again: "I heard that the two concubines in your house are here, I have seen this Tong Ruoyao before, but I don't know who the other one is?" ”

As she was talking, Zhu Ling suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Someone is coming." ”

While speaking, someone turned out from the path behind him, and the one who came was an acquaintance, it was Mrs. Tong San. She was not a stranger talking affectionately beside her, it was Qin Ruhua who was hanging in the pavilion.

Bai Yanran's expression did not change, and she said in a low voice: "Coincidentally, this is Aunt Qin in the house." ”

Qi Simin was a little stunned for a while, it was really Qin Ruhua's beautiful complexion, even if the beauty in the capital was like a cloud, it was still amazing.

At this time, the third lady of kung fu Tong had already led Qin Ruhua to the front, and reluctantly saluted the two, and looked at Bai Yanran with a smile and said: "The queen mother specially asked the princess to bring Ruhua to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and the princess actually threw people down and ignored them, but she failed to live up to the queen's good intentions." ”

About the last time she was taught a lesson, Mrs. Tong San learned to be obedient this time, and she didn't speak out loud anymore.

Bai Yanran looked at Qin Ruhua and said with a smile: "Third Mrs. Tong is afraid that she has misunderstood, Sister Qin is not feeling well, so she specially stayed in the pavilion to rest." ”

Qin Ruhua only spoke up at this time, and said timidly: "What the princess said is that the concubine is not angry, and it has nothing to do with the princess. ”

What was originally clear and clear changed its taste when it came out of her mouth. Mrs. Tong snorted coldly, and didn't correct it in the end. Wrap it up.

Bai Yanran's eyes looked at the mother beside Mrs. Tong San, and for some reason, the haggard woman in front of her made her vaguely feel a little familiar.

Mrs. Tong San also noticed her gaze, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows flashed with pride, and she said to Zhu Ling: "Oh, look at me, I forgot." Mother Jiang hasn't seen her daughter for a long time, and today happens to be the time for your mother and daughter to talk well. ”

Mother Jiang's expression was calm to the point of being a little numb, and she only lowered her eyes and said nothing when she heard the words, and she didn't even look up at her daughter. Only then did Bai Yanran understand that this was Zhu Ling's mother Jiang, and the mother-daughter looked seven points similar, no wonder they felt familiar.

Zhu Ling's face was also a little stiff, and she squeezed out a little smile and said to Mrs. Tong: "Thank you Third Lady for your love, it's just that my mother and I still have to be on errands, and we don't dare to delay the time of our masters." ”

Third Lady Tong looked at Bai Yanran and said, "Look at what you said, it's not that there is no one waiting anymore." Zhu Ling, now that you have the weight of the princess, you don't even have the leisure to come back to visit your parents. Mother Jiang is also a caring person by the old lady's side, and it won't work without it.

It's rare for your mother and daughter to see each other every day, and if it weren't for the old lady asking Mother Jiang to send something to the queen today, you wouldn't be able to bump into each other. is so rare, presumably the princess will not be so harsh and not even talk about this favor. ”

Bai Yanran nodded and said to Zhu Ling: "What Mrs. Tong said is also true, I still have Su Xin by my side, you can go." ”

Now that Bai Yanran had already spoken, Zhu Ling had no reason to refuse, and said goodbye to Bai Yanran and went to the side with Jiang. The mother and daughter found a secluded place, but they were speechless.

After a while, Zhu Ling called softly: "Mother." ”

Jiang Shi's eyes turned red silently when he heard this, and he sighed: "Ling'er, it's my mother who is sorry for you." ”

Seeing Jiang and Zhu Ling's mother and daughter leaving, Mrs. Tong San seemed to have won a big victory, and became more and more proud, holding Qin Ruhua affectionately and said: "Picturesque, you are the person who went out of our Tong Mansion, and the old lady has your support." Although you are a concubine, you are not a head lower than others, if you are bullied, you don't have to make compromises, just come to the old lady to make decisions for you. ”

Bai Yanran hadn't opened her mouth yet, but Qi Simin couldn't help but say: "In this way, the concubines in the third master Tong's room must be so wanton?" That Third Lady Tong is really good, so she can tolerate it. ”

Mrs. Tong was speechless, Su Xin snickered beside her, and secretly grimaced at Hanjin. Mrs. Tong was about to brush her sleeves away, and at this moment, the queen finally came.

"The Queen Mother has arrived."
