Chapter Ninety-Seven: Defending the Bear Child

Xu Ruru is very close to the queen for Xu Rulie's sake, and the queen is also because her biological mother Concubine Liang has always been in the world, so she will be an adopted daughter for the time being, and she can be regarded as taking care of her in the palace.

However, Xu Ruru has the intention to have a good relationship with the concubine of the third prince, but Zhang Yuge doesn't necessarily like to deal with it. Xu Ruru couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and wanted to quarrel with Su Jiao again, but she saw the Duke of Pingcheng's family at the entrance of the main hall wearing jewels coming in.

"Zhou Hongyan, what kind of clothes are you wearing, it's ugly." Xu Ruru muttered, unconsciously patted it lightly on the table, and asked Su Jiao next to her to quietly look back, isn't it just that she grabbed a kite when she was a child, what hatred and resentment are like this.

As always, Duke Heisei was reluctant to attend such a large-scale occasion, so he only asked the Duchess and the county lord to come out as representatives.

As soon as the Duchess appeared in the main hall, Mrs. Lin of the Ministry of Officials immediately stepped forward to help talk, and the county lord stood beside the Duchess with a golden shining body and a rebellious gaze, which was not easy to get close to.

Except for Mrs. Lin, who came forward for unknown reasons, no one was willing to take the initiative to deal with it.

As soon as Xu Ruru saw her appearance now, she hated her teeth so much, Su Jiao stood beside her, and she could almost hear the sound of her teeth rubbing, and suddenly her hand was grabbed by Xu Ruru.

"If you want this princess to sit with this kind of person again, this princess might as well change one, you come with this princess, there is one more seat next to this princess's seat, you sit with this princess."

Hearing this, he was regarded as the target of slander just now, and his attitude has changed one hundred and eighty degrees at this time, and Su Jiao still feels flattered for no reason, thinking about it, he is not the first person to hate in the mind of this little princess.

"Back to the princess, the courtiers can only sit in the lower position, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules." Su Jiao couldn't help but smile in her heart, leaned down slightly and saluted, and by the way, she sold Xu Ruru a pass, which can be regarded as revenge for Fang Cai's small revenge.

"What's out of the rules, with Xiao Huai'an being so good in front of his father, and this princess asked you to come over, don't you dare to come?" Xu Ruru snorted lightly, and didn't listen to what Su Jiao had to say, she just wanted to pull her to sit down before Zhou Hongyan came over, even if the dust settled, but before she could do it, the county lord of Pingcheng had already walked straight to Zhang Yuge's table.

"I haven't seen you for many days, why is the princess still so ruthless and domineering, look at this lady's obvious reluctance to go over, but you have to pull her away, is the princess deliberately slapping our Pingcheng Duke's Mansion in the face?"

"What kind of face do you think you have, if it weren't for the merits of your father and mother, do you think you would still be able to become the county lord? What's more, Princess Ben and Mrs. Xiao have known each other for a long time, and today they happened to speculate, so they brought her over to talk, what does it matter to you? ”

Xu Ruru put down Su Jiao's hand and sneered at Zhou Hongyan with her chin raised.

Look at these two heavenly nobles are such pampered appearances, but just looking at the temperament, Xu Ruru is much more pleasing to the eye.

As the county lord of Heisei, under the pampering of his mother, he even dared to grab the princess's kite when he was a child, and now Zhou Hongyan will only go too far, how could he allow himself to lose face in front of this little princess who was once bullied.

Zhou Hongyan's cheeks bulged slightly, and she turned her head to look at Su Jiao, who didn't wait for her to speak, and immediately expressed her attitude. "The eldest princess is right, I think the current owner has misunderstood."

"You, what are you counting, did the county lord ask you, your sister was a rabbit fur collar before, and my mother was almost seriously ill, I haven't asked you to settle this account yet, you dare to make a big deal here now."

"Heh, the Duchess should take care of herself when she is unwell, what happened last time was just an accident, not to mention that Aunt Su is Aunt Su, Mrs. Xiao is Mrs. Xiao, and I asked the county lord to figure it out, such a simple truth, I don't think this princess needs to teach you a lesson."

Anyway, now it can be regarded as being on the same front, and Xu Ruru reluctantly helped protect Su Jiao.

The county lord is naturally not comparable in front of the princess, and the two of them are not as good as when they were young, so they can be fooled by the adults with a single sentence.

Zhou Hongyan has always been spoiled, so she is naturally unconvinced, but at least she still knows some rules, and it is not good to clash with Xu Ruru head-on.

The duchess over there and Mrs. Lin were talking energetically, and suddenly noticed that her daughter was gone, and saw that Zhou Hongyan was arguing with the princess over there, and immediately stepped forward with a sinking face, and Mrs. Lin saw that Su Jiao was also beside her, and her face changed slightly and followed.

"The banquet will start immediately, Yan'er's position is still the same as in previous years, sitting next to the princess, there will be Princess Lao to take care of it, it's not too early now, Your Majesty will come over immediately, it's better for the princess and Yan'er to go first."

The Duchess had a provocative smile on her face, and she said so firmly and unquestioningly that she almost didn't give Xu Ruru a tearful look in her aggrieved eyes, and Zhou Hongyan was especially dissatisfied when she got a step that could calm things, and she took the Duchess's hand and coquettishly.

"Mother still don't let her daughter sit with the princess, princess, how arrogant he is, he has already decided to let Mrs. Xiao accompany him, I'm afraid that our family will be disgusted and will not be in the eyes of the princess, so the daughter should sit with her mother."

Saying that, Zhou Hongyan didn't forget to give Xu Ruru a cold look. Although this is true, there is no premise, and besides, the people who listen to this tone are not happy, and they don't know, they really think how arrogant and unreasonable Xu Ruru is.

But Xu Ruru was stubborn again, and she was wronged, and she didn't know how to explain it, so she was arrogant and refused to bow her head.

Su Jiao looked very sympathetic on the side, and was about to open her mouth to help explain a few words, but she saw Mrs. Lin next to the Duchess, and kept shaking her head slightly at herself, wanting to make herself feel at ease and not come out.

At this moment, the queen and Concubine Xian also came over one after another, and the two of them were followed by Xu Rulie, who had a stinky face, and Xu Ruzhu, who looked indifferent.

"Today's envoy entered Beijing, this banquet was able to come in time thanks to the careful arrangement of the concubine's sister, and after the banquet is over, the palace will definitely ask the emperor for a reward for his sister."

This is like using himself as a tool, and even the reward has to rely on the queen's charity. Concubine Xian narrowed her eyes slightly, even if she was not happy in her heart, she still had to pretend to be generous on the surface.

"This banquet was supposed to be arranged by the queen's mother, how dare the concubines take credit? If it weren't for the queen's mother's physical discomfort, and it wouldn't be the turn of the concubine, the concubine would have thanked the queen mother a long time ago, so what's the matter? The tired mother asked for a reward for the concubine. ”

This is to say that the queen is useless, and she can't even hold a banquet.

The queen's angry footsteps shook, and she almost wanted to stop and tell her, but fortunately she still held back, and the two princes behind the two unconsciously intertwined their eyes, and several of them looked at each other unpleasantly.

It's just unfortunate that before the queen could reach her position, she heard the duchess's mean words to Su Jiao in the middle of the road.

"Is this the case, I heard that Mrs. Xiao has always been at odds with the three princes, but I didn't expect that the relationship with the princess was good, but I heard that Mrs. Xiao took advantage of Lord Xiao's power to have close contacts with the three princesses, and the relationship with the household department and Count Yong was also very good,"

The Duchess straightened her back and looked at the aura of her body, as if this banquet was her home field, and he held his shelf, and in a few words, he circled all the three people present.

"But because of this, Mrs. Xiao wanted to insult my Yan'er like this under the pretext of the princess, I don't know when did our Pingcheng Duke's Mansion offend Mrs. Xiao, but because Aunt Su almost made me seriously ill before, after I reprimanded her, Mrs. Xiao planned to be angry for her sister?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Jiao couldn't help but gasp, on the one hand, she admired her ability to confuse auditions, and on the other hand, she also admired her for having such a big courage, there were three people and three forces here, she could be regarded as offended.

After thinking about it, in the face of the duchess's deliberate fault-finding, Su Jiao calmed down in her heart, and slowly returned a salute to her, "The Duchess's words are bad, everyone in the capital knows that I have a bad relationship with Su Lian, and this is even more nonsense to go out for my sister,"

"What's more, I wasn't there that day, and I heard that it was indeed Su Lian's fault, how could I be unwilling to let the Duchess have such a misunderstanding."

As the saying goes, a lie should be used to fulfill this lie with another lie, but to reveal the truth, this trick is unpleasant for Su Jiao.

"Secondly, the princess told me early in the morning that she wanted me to go over and chat with her, and it was not arranged like this after the county lord arrived, if we said that we would insult the county lord, we would never dare to accept this."

When the words landed, Xu Ruru immediately showed Su Jiao an extraordinarily cute smile, while Zhou Hongyan's eyes were wide open, and she pointed her right hand at Su Jiao's nose and scolded her.

"You are talking nonsense, are you blind when the county lord is blind, it is clear that you and the princess are in the same stream, and you are deliberately unable to get along with our Pingcheng Duke's Mansion!"

No matter how sharp the girl's voice is, no matter how noisy this hall is, the people in the circle can hear what Zhou Hongyan said clearly, and besides, she dares to say that she is in the same league with the princess, which is equivalent to being charged with insulting the royal family.

Therefore, as soon as these words came out, the faces of the people around him changed to varying degrees.

The position where the queen and the concubine were standing was also coincidental, just behind the pillar on the side, which could be heard clearly, but it was not so easy to be spotted.
