"Mrs. Qu forgive me, I had a bad pregnancy a while ago, let alone going out, my husband didn't ask me to get out of bed, if it wasn't for the emperor's wedding today, he wouldn't let me enter the palace." Xie Ruqing replied helplessly.

Ma Shi laughed, "Lord Hou is really compassionate, I heard that you went to Qi Mansion yesterday, but I envy your friendship with the queen." ”

Xie Ruqing smiled, this is not envy, it is turning a corner to say that she is stammering the queen, and even complaining that she does not give face. Xie Ruqing has never liked the ladies to talk about each other, and making friends with them on weekdays is completely for Qi Yanzhi, the dignified Mrs. Qiyang Hou, many people's eyes are staring, and it is not good to have a high reputation.

"When the queen was in the boudoir, I could talk to her for a few words, and I was going to do a favor on the day she got married." Xie Ruqing said.

Ma Shi nodded, because he was in the middle of the banquet, so he did not continue to talk.

This new Shangshu Lingqu Lord is an old minister of the imperial party in the original court, and after the emperor ascended the throne, the situation in the court was unstable, so he was brought up to stabilize the court, after all, age and prestige are here. It's just that this song is a bit pedantic, and Qi Yanzhi complained more than once when he went home.

Xie Ruqing has dealt with Ma a few times, this woman is a little broken-mouthed, and she also loves to gossip, she has a little daughter who has not been out of the cabinet, and she is also here today, and she is at another table at this time, with a few young ladies.

Since Miss Qu sat at the table, she didn't like Fang Qing, who was sitting with her, because according to Fang Qing's identity, she was not qualified to sit with her at all.

The Fang family has never been prominent, and everyone's biggest impression of the Fang family is probably that the two girls married into the Qiyang Hou Mansion, and they both disappeared early. But recently, the Fang family has been very eye-catching, some time ago, the emperor promoted Fang Yanping to participate in politics, which was an exception to the second grade, and he was promoted several levels in a row, which surprised everyone.

After the emperor succeeds to the throne, he will definitely cultivate his own group of ministers, and Fang Yanping is the future henchman promoted by the emperor, everyone knows it, but they are not convinced by Fang Yanping in their hearts.

Fang Yanping was indeed unknown before, including the Fang family, he didn't have any outstanding skills and achievements, why did he win the favor of the emperor, so there were many people who were red-eyed.

Of course, Yu Ning didn't know Fang Yanping before, it was recommended by Qi Yanzhi and him, and many of the people promoted by Yu Ning were recommended by Qi Yanzhi, he has participated in the government for many years, and knows which person in the court has great talent and knows whose character is, so Yu Ning trusts his vision very much.

The people in the court were jealous of Fang Yanping, and the girls in the boudoir were jealous of Fang Qing. The elder brother is a second-class member of the DPRK and China, and Fang Qing is a noble brother with him, and he has also become a popular figure in the noble lady circle.

But Fang Qing, this girl is a little unsociable, and her temperament is relatively straight, so in the eyes of the girls, she is the kind of girl who is arrogant and has a vicious mouth, and she is very difficult to get along with.

However, Qu Fangmin, this girl is also very tall, her eyes are above the top, her father is now in the middle of the court, she feels like a princess, and she doesn't look down on the new queen, she thinks that she looks very ordinary, her life experience is even more ordinary, and she can't be a mother at all, so she wants to marry the emperor.

Recently, I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that Fang Qing will enter the palace as a concubine, this rumor Qu Fangmin believes it, the emperor promoted her brother, there must be a plan, maybe it is to give the Fang family a share, and in the future, it will be good for Fang Qing to raise face, and after entering the palace, it is very likely that she will be the biggest competitor of the concubine.

"Miss Fang, haven't you eaten lunch?" Qu Fangmin said with a smile but mockery, her voice was deliberately amplified, and many people heard it.

Many young ladies laughed under their breath. Fang Qingshi is a girl, she can eat when she wants to eat at the banquet, she never cares about everyone's eyes, the other ladies are pretending to be noble, she didn't take the chopsticks a few times, and she sat upright the whole time, for fear that the emperor would not be in a good state when he saw them. Only she herself ate with a mouth full of oil.

Fang Qing nodded while nibbling on the roast leg of mutton, "I didn't eat it, and I'm not the only one who hasn't eaten, aren't everyone waiting on the street to see the emperor and queen, did you steal it halfway?" ”

Qu Fangmin choked, the girls really didn't eat lunch, because they went to the palace early in the morning to paint their makeup and change their clothes, in order not to destroy the image, they didn't eat lunch, and they were hungry until the evening, but they could only endure it.

Fang Qing said everyone's embarrassment, the girls hated her even more, Qu Fangmin chuckled, "We didn't eat, but we understand etiquette, today's wedding of the emperor and queen, I am here to congratulate, and I don't want the emperor and queen to watch a group of hungry ghosts, if you want to eat and go home to eat." ”

Fang Qing glanced at Qu Fangmin very strangely, "Isn't the banquet just about eating and drinking, why do you want to set up a banquet for congratulations?" ”

Qu Fangmin choked again, she felt that Fang Qing's brain was different from ordinary people, and she didn't play cards according to the routine at all!

"The feast is just a formality." Another girl said, "It is also a kind of etiquette, you have to eat and drink, and you have to take care of etiquette." ”

Fang Qing snorted and laughed, "You have to take care of etiquette when eating, isn't that just pretense?" I'm sorry, but I don't have that problem. ”

All the girls were speechless, this girl is afraid that she is not a sick brain, why do you say anything, mad dog, is this?

Xie Ruqing has been paying attention to the movement here, she couldn't help frowning, Qing'er, this kid is straightforward, in fact, it is commendable, but it doesn't distinguish between occasions, it's too bad in terms of human relations, in the long run, who will pay attention to her in the future?

Qi Wanru smiled at this time, "Everyone works hard all day, you might as well eat more, it's not a secret, I'm also hungry, how about I eat first?" ”

The new queen is to play a round and resolve everyone's embarrassment, but everyone is a little unappreciative, thinking that the new queen is currying favor with the emperor, and what is her intention, asking everyone to start eating is not to make everyone ignore the image.

Yu Ning glanced at Qi Wanru, and spoke for the queen very dotingly, "What the queen said is that everyone will eat as much as they want at the banquet in the future, and the imperial dining room will make so much food, and if you don't eat it, you have to throw it all away, isn't it a waste." ”

The emperor said so, it's not a matter if everyone doesn't eat, after all, whoever doesn't eat is a waste, so they eat one after another.

Xie Ruqing looked at Qi Wanru with great emotion, from the moment she entered the palace, she could no longer be the original carefree girl, and her words and deeds represented her identity. She could tell she was nervous, and she wasn't sure if it was appropriate for her to say something like that.

Xie Ruqing personally thinks that her temperament is too soft and too generous, and today, everyone can probably see that she is soft-hearted and easy to talk.

People are good at being bullied, if it weren't for the emperor's protection, Qi Wanru would be difficult to sit on this throne.

I thought that a turmoil would be over, but I didn't expect Qu Fangmin to be unwilling, why did the emperor and queen speak for Fang Qing, isn't this a tacit understanding, the emperor wants Fang Qing, and the queen pretends to be a good person!

"Miss Fang, I think you seem to be really hungry, why don't you eat my share, so as not to waste it." Qu Fangmin gave her leg of mutton to Fang Qing, so she didn't want to gnaw on the leg of mutton in public, since Fang Qing likes to make a fool of herself in public, he asked her to make a fool of himself, so that the emperor could see how disgusting this girl was.

Fang Qing directly gave her a roll of the eyes this time, she didn't understand what was wrong with this girl, why did she always ask stupid questions, do stupid things, did she have something bad in her head?

"I'm sorry, I'm full, if you don't eat yourself, it's your own waste, why do you want me to help you deal with it?" Fang Qing replied very unashamedly.

Qu Fangmin was so angry in her heart, but she just wanted to deliberately provoke Fang Qing to talk nonsense, she seemed to have figured out how to treat Fang Qing, that is, to make her more and more embarrassed and disgusted. So she forcibly held back the anger in her heart, and continued: "How can Miss Fang say this, I asked you for help, if I really couldn't eat it, I wouldn't beg you like this, you can help me for the sake of everyone getting acquainted?" ”

The other girls chimed in, "Yes, how about helping a bunch of Qu girls?" ”

"Then I can't eat it!" Fang Qing felt that these people were all sick, "You are so enthusiastic, why don't you help?" ”

Everyone: "......"

"Why do you talk like that?" Qu Fangmin actually pinched the handkerchief and cried, as if he had been wronged, "I also ask you to help, if you don't want to help, forget it, why do you say it so ugly?" It seems like I'm deliberately embarrassed for you......"

Fang Qing really couldn't stand her anymore, and couldn't help but reply loudly: "You have something wrong, you are talking to yourself from beginning to end, I eat my food, you have to come to find trouble, say I don't understand etiquette, I say I can't eat, you just pretend to be pitiful and say I don't help you, are you asking someone to help or being embarrassed, don't think I don't know your little thoughts, don't you just want to make me ugly!" I can't talk to you pretentious ladies, don't talk to me in the future! ”

"Fang Qing!" Xie Ruqing suddenly spoke, and everyone was startled and looked at her one after another. She looked at Fang Qing very seriously and said, "Don't be rude! ”
