Chapter 339: Chrysanthemum Feast
Concubine He's heart was cold.
She originally planned to secretly protect the big palace maid, after all, the big palace maid has been with her for so many years. But when she heard the palace maid threaten her like this, Concubine He was completely cold-hearted.
"Why do you want this palace to let you go when you do this kind of thing? Could it be that everyone in this palace can be like you? As she spoke, Concubine He waved her hand, and couldn't help but let the palace maid take her down.
Su Xiaoya sneered in her heart, is this Concubine He treating everyone present as a fool? Who doesn't know that she is so anxious to deal with the palace maid in order to cover up the things she did, and she is simply trying to cover up by doing so.
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang was naturally able to see Concubine He's strong composure, but he was not ready to pursue Concubine He: "This palace maid really doesn't understand the rules, so if you want to punish her, she will be punished heavily, so that other people in the palace can take a good look at what the end of unruly behavior will be." ”
Concubine He nodded hurriedly.
Su Xiaoya didn't want to see Concubine He acting here anymore, and said to the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang with an indifferent face: "Your Majesty, I haven't been back all night, I'm afraid the people in the mansion have already been anxious." ”
"Yes, yes, then Mrs. Su should go back first, it will be a chrysanthemum banquet in a few days, and Mrs. Su can come and have a look at it then." The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang said with enthusiasm on his face.
Su Xiaoya didn't have any interest in this so-called chrysanthemum banquet, but since the emperor of Northern Xinjiang had spoken, she would be a little ignorant if she refused again, so she had to agree.
After returning to the mansion, Su Xiaoya was directly hugged by Lin Wan'er, who rushed up to her.
"Sister Xiaoya! You're finally back, and I thought something had happened to you again. Lin Wan'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Su Xiaoya hurriedly comforted: "Didn't they all say that I just went into the palace to cook?" What can happen to me in the palace? Don't worry. ”
But how could Lin Wan'er not worry about Su Xiaoya? Not long ago, Su Xiaoya's restaurant was just smashed by the people in the palace, and now that Su Xiaoya has been taken into the palace and has not come out for a long time, Lin Wan'er naturally thought that something had happened to Su Xiaoya.
Lin Wan'er wiped the tears on her face aggrievedly, and said with some grievances: "Sister Xiaoya, next time you are in the palace, no matter what, let people come out and tell me, okay?" You didn't come out all night, I thought something had happened to you! ”
Su Xiaoya couldn't cry or laugh, but seeing Lin Wan'er caring about herself so much, Su Xiaoya's heart warmed, and she hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I promise you." Okay, don't cry, you see your eyes are going to swell. ”
Listening to Su Xiaoya's words, Lin Wan'er was frightened and hurriedly touched her face and asked, "Really?" Are my eyes really swollen? ”
Lin Wan'er has always attached the most importance to her image, but the change was so sudden, Su Xiaoya was amused.
Seeing Su Xiaoya laughing at herself unceremoniously, Lin Wan'er said with some annoyance: "Sister Xiaoya! If you laugh at me like this again, I'm really going to be angry! ”
Su Xiaoya hurriedly went to appease Lin Wan'er, and promised that she would definitely make some desserts to make up for Lin Wan'er.
"It's going to take two days of dessert!" Lin Wan'er took advantage of the fire to rob, Su Xiaoya would not easily make desserts for her to eat.
Su Xiaoya agreed without hesitation: "It's okay for three days." ”
The chrysanthemum banquet mentioned by the emperor of Northern Xinjiang quickly sent an invitation to Su Xiaoya, and even Lin Wan'er received an invitation to the chrysanthemum banquet.
Holding the very rich invitation card in her hand, Lin Wan'er asked with some worry on her face: "Sister Xiaoya, what should I do with this invitation?" I don't want to go to a chrysanthemum feast. ”
"I'll go to this chrysanthemum banquet too, are you sure you don't want to accompany me?" Su Xiaoya said to Lin Wan'er while checking the progress of the restaurant's redecoration.
Lin Wan'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Really?" You're going to have a banquet like this?! ”
Su Xiaoya nodded inexplicably, is it because she is too withdrawn on weekdays? Why would Lin Wan'er think that she would not go to this kind of banquet.
Seeing that Su Xiaoya would also accompany her, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but exclaim, so that she didn't have to anger her father because she didn't want to enter the palace.
In the next few days, Lin Wan'er took Su Xiaoya to buy clothes and try on clothes, and on the day of the chrysanthemum banquet, the two of them entered the palace brand new and went to meet the queen first.
"Mrs. Su's dress is good-looking, it suits Mrs. Su very well." The queen felt that Su Xiaoya's eyes lit up at the first glance, and she couldn't help but admire.
Su Xiaoya was originally white-skinned, but Su Xiaoya was reluctant to wear those bright clothes on weekdays, so she was not so outstanding. It's just that today Su Xiaoya is wearing a pale green dress, which makes Su Xiaoya's skin even fairer.
Lin Wan'er laughed on the side, put her arm around Su Xiaoya and said, "Queen Mother, Sister Xiaoya's clothes I picked out, it seems that my vision is still very good!" ”
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er also looked at the clothes on Su Xiaoya's body with some pride.
There have been a lot of ladies and ladies at the Chrysanthemum Banquet today, and seeing that the relationship between the queen and these two women is so close, some people can't help but ask: "Who is this lady?" How come I've never heard of it? ”
"You don't even know this? This is the wife of the hussar general, and this relationship with the queen is very good! ”
"Really? How come I have never heard of this lady? I look at the relationship between the queen and her, and it seems to be very ordinary! ”
"You know what? The queen's character is like this, when she is not too close to anyone. But who have you ever seen the queen talk to like this? This Mrs. Su doesn't know what means she used, the queen likes her very much! ”
Su Xiaoya heard the ladies around her talking about her, and shook her head helplessly in her heart. As early as when she decided to come to this so-called chrysanthemum banquet, Su Xiaoya had already guessed that these ladies would definitely judge her.
"Queen Mother, Sister Xiaoya is participating in this kind of banquet for the first time, and please let me stay with Sister Xiaoya all the time, otherwise I am worried that she will be in a hurry." Lin Wan'er smiled and hugged Su Xiaoya's arm and said sweetly to the queen.
The queen nodded, pointed at Lin Wan'er and said, "I knew that you, a girl, would not agree to enter the palace so easily, presumably this time it was also for your sister Xiaoya, right?" ”
Lin Wan'er stuck out her tongue and didn't speak, but the hand that was holding Su Xiaoya's arm didn't let go.
Su Xiaoya patted Lin Wan'er's head lightly, and then followed the palace maids beside the queen to sit in their places.
"Yo, I didn't expect Mrs. Su to come over so early?" As soon as Concubine He entered the door, she saw Su Xiaoya sitting not far away, and smiled exaggeratedly in surprise.
Su Xiaoya had a million wishes in her heart that she didn't want to see Concubine He, but in desperation, she still stood up and said, "Concubine He, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." ”
Concubine He pursed her lips with a smile and said to the queen: "It's still a good relationship between the queen mother and Mrs. Su, the queen mother specially took Mrs. Su away from my palace a few days ago, and I don't know that I think the queen mother and Mrs. Su are inseparable!" ”
Concubine He said that she wanted to attack Su Xiaoya that night while she was resting in her palace. That night, Su Xiaoya noticed something strange and went directly to the queen's palace, and she didn't know how Concubine He learned about it.
Seeing that the queen's face was also puzzled, Su Xiaoya said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just because the queen's mother suddenly wants to eat what I made at night." After all, Concubine He doesn't like to eat the dishes I make, so she can't understand the queen's thoughts. ”
Fortunately, Su Xiaoya had already told the queen everything that happened that night, so even if Concubine He was sowing discord in front of the queen now, Su Xiaoya was not afraid that the queen would be angry.
Seeing that Su Xiaoya had damaged herself in a roundabout way, Concubine He's face was a little uncontrollable, and she sneered and said, "I didn't expect Mrs. Su to be so sharp-tongued." ”
Everyone who was sitting on the side watching the excitement was shocked, and everyone had already seen that the relationship between Concubine He and Su Xiaoya was not good, and it could even be said that the relationship between the two was a little bad.
After thinking about the degree of favor between the queen and Concubine He, the comparison of all aspects, all the ladies already knew which side they should stand on.
"Mrs. Su, this palace heard that you happen to be renovating the restaurant these days, right?" The queen only didn't hear the conversation between these two people, so she didn't hesitate to condescend to Su Xiaoya's face, and personally stretched out her hand to pull Su Xiaoya into her arms.
Su Xiaoya sensed that the queen wanted to support herself, so she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it is indeed not an easy thing to renovate my restaurant." ”
The queen smiled and didn't speak, but her eyes stared at Concubine He motionlessly.
This is not the first time that the queen wants to shield Su Xiaoya so openly, Concubine He knows it in her heart, but she is unwilling.
"The queen is really unfair, why is it only good to Mrs. Su alone, our sisters don't care about it." Concubine He deliberately said coquettishly.
I thought that the queen would explain something, but the queen just smiled and didn't speak, Concubine He only felt that she had hit a stick on cotton, and she could only be angry with herself.
Seeing that Concubine He's face was getting more and more gloomy, the corners of her mouth hooked, and said: "I'm afraid the time is almost up, it's better to let people take the ladies outside first, and then there will be other things!" ”
Everyone naturally knew that they should not give face to the queen, so they stood up one after another, and a big palace maid who followed the queen came over, and left with these ladies and ladies with a gesture of "please".
"Alright, you two should go over together, don't go around with this palace." The queen laughed.
