Chapter Thirty-Eight: Enemies Everywhere
"Luo'an, why are you here?"
The Queen Mother beckoned to Luo'an, smiling.
Luo An walked over lightly and sat down beside the Queen Mother. "What, the Queen Mother doesn't welcome me?"
The queen smiled, "How so?" The mother concubine thinks about you every day. β
"I knew that the Queen Mother would not diswelcome Luo'an." Luo An chuckled twice, "I just heard Sister Queen and Queen Mother talking about Wei Xiyue." β
The Queen Mother nodded, "Yes, what, you know Luo'an?" β
"Not only do you know, the Lotus Club Luo'an was also present that day, not to mention, the sword dance is really good, it's just ......" Speaking of this, Luo'an paused, and then shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Luo'an's desire to speak stopped, the queen asked suspiciously.
Luo An sighed lightly, "This Wei Xiyue's character ...... It's a pity. β
The Queen Mother frowned, "Character? β
"Yes, Luo An heard that Wei Xiyue is an arrogant and rude barbaric woman with no one in her eyes." said with a look of regret, as if disappointed that Wei Xiyue was such a person.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother's face changed immediately after hearing it.
Today's Queen Mother was born into a famous family, and the most hated people in her life are those unreasonable people.
"I didn't expect Wei Xiyue to be this kind of person."
"Maybe there's some misunderstanding." After listening to Luo An's words, the queen still didn't believe it, after all, there were rumors before that Wei Xiyue was a savage who was not talented and came from the side.
Luo An chuckled, "Sister Queen, you are too naΓ―ve, then Wei Xiyue is a country girl, and she beat her sister on the street a few days ago." β
Hearing this, the queen frowned, and the queen mother was even more angry when she heard it.
"But ......" What else did the queen want to say, after all, she felt that Wei Xiyue didn't want to be someone who would do that kind of thing.
Luo An raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Since Sister Queen doesn't believe it so much, let this Wei Xiyue come to the palace for a trip. It just so happens that there will be a night banquet in the palace in a few days, so let's send an invitation to the Wei Mansion and invite this Wei Xiyue. After all...... Hearing is false, seeing is believing. β
The Queen Mother nodded, her face softened slightly.
"Okay, Queen Mother, don't be upset, Luo'an will accompany you to the Imperial Garden for a walk, I heard that the lotus flowers in the Imperial Garden have bloomed, and Luo'an has never had a chance to see it, I really want to see it~" Luo'an walked in front of the Queen Mother, reached out and grabbed the Queen Mother's hand, and began to be coquettish.
"Good, good." looked at Luo An's delicate face, and suddenly smiled.
Luo'an is really the queen mother's pistachio, and she can always be happy to meet her queen mother.
Seeing that the queen mother was happy, the queen laughed unconsciously.
Wei Fu β
"A night party?" Wei Xiyue looked at the invitation in her hand and made a difficulty, how could the well-behaved Queen Mother invite them to the palace night banquet?
It is said that this night banquet is the grandest banquet in the imperial palace, when many court ministers, royal relatives and noble children participate, the annual night banquet is prepared by the queen personally, the queen mother supervises.
And how could a Wei family, who is not big or small in the DPRK and has not much power, be invited to this kind of banquet?
Wei Xiyue frowned, as if there was a big conspiracy behind this invitation.
Wei Qinghe, who didn't know where to pop up, ran to Wei Xiyue, took the invitation in her hand, and looked at it over and over in her hand.
"Sister, what is this?"
Wei Xiyue shook her head, reached out to take back the invitation, and then squatted down and pulled Wei Qinghe over.
"Qinghe, my sister told you something, you listened."
Wei Qinghe looked at his sister's serious expression and nodded.
"We're coming back from outside, so you have to remember that in their eyes, we're always outsiders." Wei Xiyue paused and touched Wei Qinghe's head. "However, this is the Wei family, our home, and my father exchanged his life for it, and they are outsiders."
"Maybe you don't understand what my sister is saying, but you have to know that what my sister does is to protect you, protect you, your mother and Xiaohuan."
Wei Qinghe didn't understand anything when he heard it, but he still roughly understood what his sister meant, so he patted his chest and said to Wei Xiyue with confidence: "Sister, don't worry! Qinghe will also protect his mother! β
Wei Xiyue nodded and changed to a sweet smile.
"Qinghe, where is my mother?"
"Mother? My mother said that my sister likes to eat osmanthus cakes, so I went to make osmanthus cakes for my sister. β
"Hmm." Wei Xiyue smiled and touched Wei Qinghe's head. "Qinghe, you go play first, remember not to go out of Xingchen Garden, my sister is going to find her mother."
Kitchen β
"Mother."
As soon as Wei Xiyue entered the kitchen, she smelled a familiar aroma, which was refreshing.
While putting the last piece of osmanthus cake on the plate, Liu Shi said to Wei Xiyue with a smile: "Xiyue, you came just in time, come and eat the osmanthus cake when it is ready." β
Wei Xiyue smirked, walked over and hugged Liu from behind, and reached out to the front to get the osmanthus cake.
"It's like a child." Liu was amused by Wei Xiyue's actions, "In a blink of an eye, Xiyue, you are almost taller than your mother, alas, your mother is old." β
Hearing her mother say that she was old, Wei Xiyue frowned, looking unhappy, "I don't allow my mother to say this about herself, my mother is in her prime and is not old at all." And isn't it good that Xiyue is taller than her mother? In this way, you can better protect your mother. β
Liu turned around and scratched Wei Xiyue's nose and smiled lightly.
"Xiyue, is there something wrong with you?"
"Huh?" Wei Xiyue was stunned for a moment, "Mother, how do you know?" β
"Silly boy, you are my daughter, is there something in your heart that I don't know?" Liu picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, fed it to Wei Xiyue's mouth, watched Wei Xiyue take a bite, and smiled.
"Don't tell your mother that you were attracted by the aroma."
Wei Xiyue pursed her lips, "I was attracted by my mother's osmanthus cake." β
"Okay, tell my mother, what's the matter?"
Hearing this, Wei Xiyue put away her naughty smile and returned to her usual serious appearance.
"It's nothing, it's just that after a few days of the palace night banquet, I sent an invitation. Xi Yuelai came to tell her mother and asked her to prepare well, after all, being invited to this night banquet is a rare occurrence in a hundred years. β
Wei Xiyue still didn't tell the Liu family about the possible dangers involved, she hoped that her mother could be at ease, and leave the rest to her.
She will definitely protect everyone around her.
"Nidja."
Wei Feiyu opened the door of the third room with a smile on her face.
"Sister Concubine Yu!"
Wei Nijia saw Wei Feiyu's face with excitement, "Sister Feiyu, do it quickly." β
Wei Feiyu smiled lightly and sat down next to Wei Nijia.
"Why is Sister Fei Yu here?" Wei Nijia was very happy because Wei Feiyu came, and hurriedly wanted to get some snacks for Wei Feiyu, but was stopped by Wei Feiyu.
"Nidya doesn't have to be busy, I just came today to say something thoughtful to Nidja." As he spoke, he pulled Wei Nijia to sit down.
Wei Feiyu took Wei Nijia's hand and said, "Nijia, you must have received an invitation too." β
"Huh? Sister Fei Yu is talking about the invitation to the night banquet? Wei Nijia looked down, a look of disappointment in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Wei Feiyu looked at Wei Nijia with a concerned face.
I saw Wei Nijia in a low mood and said: "That kind of night banquet, usually Sister Feiyu goes, and now that there is Sister Xiyue, how can it be my turn?" β
Wei Feiyu sighed, Wei Nijia saw it and hurriedly asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?" β
"I'm not worth it for my sister." Wei Feiyu looked pity, as if she was really sorry that Wei Nijia couldn't attend the night banquet. "My sister is talented, and she was born handsome, if you have the opportunity to see the world, then you will definitely be overwhelmed, and then even I may be pressed down by my sister, but unfortunately you have never had the opportunity, originally this time I could have said a word to the old lady and asked my sister to go. But...... But there is a Wei Xiyue. β
Wei Feiyu deliberately poked Wei Nijia's sore spot, and indirectly implied that all this was because of Wei Xiyue, thus arousing Wei Nijia's hatred for Wei Xiyue, this trick was really good.
Sure enough, Wei Nijia was full of resentment towards Wei Xiyue in an instant.
"But what's the use? Nijia has no ability, and she can't compete with that Wei Xiyue. β
Wei Feiyu raised her eyebrows and smiled, holding Wei Nijia's hand, "Sister has a way here, I don't know if Sister Nijia is willing to listen?" β
As soon as she heard that Wei Feiyu had a way to let herself go to the night banquet, Wei Nijia's eyes lit up in an instant, and she hurriedly said, "Sister, say it quickly." β
Wei Feiyu smiled lightly, "I can go and ask the old lady to let Sister Nijia go with us, and when the time comes, I will recommend my sister to the Queen Mother, and my sister will behave well." But remember, don't be too sharp, otherwise you will be easily seen as a thorn in the side by others. When the time comes, you can dance casually, and there will be opportunities in the future. Wei Feiyu patted Wei Nijia on the shoulder as she spoke, as if to comfort her.
Wei Nijia weighed it for a moment, then nodded, and agreed.
But how did she know that Wei Feiyu's words were afraid that Wei Nijia would be too good and overshadow her limelight.
With Wei Nijia's consent, Wei Feiyu hid the smile in her eyes and continued to say to Wei Nijia: "But I have one request. β
"Sister, please speak."
Wei Feiyu leaned into Wei Nijia's ear and whispered something.
"No way!" Wei Nijia turned around and shook her head, "No, that's the case...... It would be miserable if it was discovered. β
Wei Feiyu got up and walked in front of Wei Nijia, and said earnestly: "This is the only way, so that you can get rid of Wei Xiyue forever." β
"Still can't do it, Sister Concubine Yu, I'm afraid of ......"
Wei Feiyu's face collapsed in an instant.
"Sister Nidja, it's not me saying you, those who become big things will dare to bet, besides, don't worry, I will arrange everything, I won't be discovered, and I'll take care of it when something happens." Moreover, get rid of Wei Xiyue, and you will be the one who will get ahead in the future. Hearing this, Wei Nijia couldn't help but feel a little moved, after all, who doesn't want to be the number one talent in the capital like Wei Feiyu?
Wei Feiyu saw that she had achieved the effect she wanted, smiled with satisfaction, and then continued: "Also, I heard that this night banquet, the eleventh prince is coming. β
"Eleventh Prince?"
Hearing that the eleventh prince Wei Nijia stood up excitedly for a moment, Wei Feiyu smiled and patted her on the shoulder and told him not to get excited.
Wei Nijia has been happy with the eleventh prince Huo Zeshen for a long time, and Wei Feiyu caught this, so she continued: "Yes, there will be no slut like Wei Xiyue in the future, and it will be your sister who is lighting outside." It's a pity, sister, you...... Forget it, I didn't come here today as a sister. β
Saying that, Wei Feiyu was about to leave.
"Wait!"
