Chapter 14: Lying

He Mian'er walked out of the door of the academy in a daze, the carriage was bumpy, and a gust of wind blew, only to hear Xu Shaodong next to her: "Auntie, will Master Chen teach me in the future?" ”

He Mian'er then remembered that the person seemed to be surnamed Chen, although Chen is a national surname, but there are quite a few people with this surname. "It should be, Shaodong will have other classmates, remember to get along well with classmates, and don't hurt the harmony."

"Auntie's words, Shaodong remembers." Xu Shaodong has always been the most obedient, which made He Mian'er feel a lot more relieved.

"Auntie, are you going to the palace banquet tonight?" Xu Shaodong suddenly asked.

"What palace feast?" He Mian'er had never heard of this at all, and asked suspiciously.

"My mother said that it was held in the palace, and the banquet was held by many people, and my uncle was going too." Xu Shaodong honestly told the truth he knew.

He Mian'er's heart sank, knowing that a few people were afraid that they were discussing this matter in the morning, otherwise no one would inform her.

However, she is just a concubine, this kind of palace feast, the banquet is all the ladies and ladies of each family, where will a concubine who is not in the stream also go. He Mian'er only felt that there was a hole missing from the heart that had just been filled, full of sadness. Yes, she is just a concubine, a concubine who has not seen the world.

At lunchtime, Xu Yunqing came back with an angry face. Everyone knew that they were afraid that they would have a conflict with King Chen in the palace and fall behind, so they didn't dare to be wanton, and they all talked about it cautiously, for fear of touching his moldy head.

He Mian'er was unrelenting, thinking about the humiliation that Xu Yunqing might suffer in the palace for a while, and for a while, her thoughts drifted to the palace banquet in the evening. The banquets in the palace have always been very extravagant, and the pendulum style alone is exquisite......

"Mrs. Mian, be careful." Ah Xiang watched He Mian'er squeeze a cup and saucer down, and immediately picked it up quickly, and warned loudly.

He Mian'er woke up like a dream, and said apologetically: "I was negligent." ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Yunqing, who had been silent, asked out loud, "What did you call her?" A pair of deep eyes stared at Ah Xiang, and her gaze was like a torch.

Ah Xiang could hear the unkindness of the general's tone, although she was clever, she was still young, and she was so frightened that she trembled with fear when she was stared at by such a person.

He Mian'er couldn't bear to see her like this, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said lightly: "I asked her to call it like this, everyone in Beijing is called like this, if you scream indiscriminately, it will not be good to break the rules." ”

She knew that this explanation might displease Xu Yunqing, but since they were in a dilemma about the palace banquet, then she would be the villain.

Probably seeing Xu Yunqing's blushing face, she continued with some lack of confidence: "It's best that everyone will call it like this in the future, so that nothing will go wrong." ”

The old lady probably felt that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and immediately said, "It naturally doesn't matter what our family name is." I'm afraid that people will call randomly. Or Mian'er is thoughtful. ”

At this point, He Mian'er knew that it was the old lady's idea not to tell her about going to the palace. The old lady is the most important rule. Even when I was down in the past, I always cared about these things.

"Eat first, and then if you don't eat vegetables, it will be cold." Sister-in-law Jiang also came out to play a round, and everyone moved their chopsticks one after another, and talked about some interesting stories about Xu Shaodong's enrollment today.

"Today, my Master Chen is so handsome." For some reason, Xu Shaodong actually mentioned this, wiped his mouth, and added fuel and vinegar: "I have never seen such a good-looking person." ”

Sister-in-law Jiang probably felt that it was a little inappropriate for the child to speak, after all, where there were students who judged the master, so she sternly lectured: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Xu Shaodong has always been well-behaved, and he rarely makes his mother angry, and such a sharp voice is rare. For a moment, he explained in a low voice: "I'm telling the truth, I don't believe you asked your aunt." “

As he spoke, he tugged on He Mian'er's sleeve next to him, and shook it back and forth while dragging it, "Auntie, you testify to me, I didn't talk nonsense." Is Master Chen very handsome? Isn't it? “

He Mian'er only felt ashamed for a while, and didn't know how to answer. But the old lady next to her stared at herself with a displeased face, which made her embarrassed.

"I didn't see it too much." He Mian'er had no choice but to lie with a clear conscience.

"How could you not have seen it? Master Chen obviously ......" Xu Shaodong said this, and was sharply interrupted by Sister-in-law Jiang: "Since your aunt said no, then naturally there is no." How can you be so stubborn and disrespectful to your master and aunt? ”

He Mian'er saw that Sister-in-law Jiang's face turned pale with anger, so she had to sigh in her heart and comfort: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, Shaodong is just a child, and she is unscrupulous. ”

Turning his head to the young man who was already full of tears, he said, "Why don't you admit your mistake to your mother?" ”

Xu Shaodong choked up and said, "Mother, I was wrong." After some twists and turns, the old lady was even more displeased, and only pretended to be unintentional and said: "We women and Taoist families, it is better to show up less." ”

He Mian'er panicked when she heard this, knowing that the old lady was taking the opportunity to beat herself, so that she would not worry about the palace banquet at night.

only replied lightly: "Mian'er knows." ”

She went back to the room with Xu Yunqing, and then she found out that Xu Yunqing didn't have a separate room, and for a while, she was surprised and delighted.

Xu Yunqing didn't say a word, she was not easy to speak. She knew that he must be a ball of anger in her chest today, so she should see that he was not visible, and she took care of her makeup and cleaned up.

"Mrs. Mian, you are so obedient." Xu Yunqing didn't know when she stood behind He Mian'er, and her tone was uncertain.

He Mian'er was stunned for a moment when she unloaded the golden hairpin, and then continued to pull the golden hairpin down, and said quietly: "The general said that he laughed." ”

I saw that Xu Yunqing grabbed her wrist violently and said, "That master is really so handsome?" ”

He Mian'er only felt that Xu Yunqing's words did not match the preamble, and pursed her mouth and said, "Whether you are handsome or not, I really don't know." ”

"Lie!" Xu Yunqing suddenly became angry for some reason. He just stared at her, as if trying to see clues in her eyes.

He Mian'er's eyes dodged and didn't want to look at him, she knew that he must be suspicious, but she didn't know, where did this illness come from? "How is the master better than me?"

Xu Yunqing asked again, and the question was even more ridiculous. He Mian'er could only bow her head and say, "I don't know what that person looks like, and how he compares with you, the general." ”

Xu Yunqing was full of jealousy for a while, naturally knowing that He Mian'er didn't tell the truth, and said angrily: "Isn't it that women are used to lying? ”

He Mian'er knew when he thought about it at this time, where did his unknown vinegar come from. Although King Chen, whom Xie Wanqing married, was over forty years old, he was a well-known beautiful man in the past, after all, his biological mother was a concubine who captivated the country and the city, and she was able to win favor over the years, and her appearance can be seen.

"Even if the general has anger in his chest, it will not help. What if a woman lies or not? The general believes in me. He Mian'er didn't know why she said these words of relief, but as soon as these words came out, Xu Yunqing was even more angry.

Picked her up and put her on the bed, He Mian'er exclaimed, and before she could get up, she stepped forward and said, "Then you admit that you lied?" ”

Looking at each other, He Mian'er closed her eyes shyly.
