Chapter 706: Someone Defected
The palace maid had a white face, and was forced to apologize to Jiang Yingli under pressure amid the discussion of everyone, and then left the scene after cleaning up the mess on the ground.
The movement here is naturally not small, as the host of this palace banquet, even if you want to ignore it, you can't do it, I saw her coming down from the position of the stars holding the moon and walking in the direction of Jiang Yingliang.
Looking at Jiang Yingliang, she said with a little regret on her expression: "It's a pity." ”
What she said was ambiguous, and she didn't know whether it was a pity that the tea didn't splash Jiang Yingliang, or a pity that Jiang Yingliang's clothes were stained with tea.
Jiang Yingli looked up at her with an official smile on the corner of her mouth: "See Hua Gui Concubine." ”
Concubine Hua smiled, and then said softly: "Lord Jiang, you have been injured." ”
Jiang Yingli got up and shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, the courtiers are fine." ”
When Concubine Hua Gui heard her say this, although her expression was a little softened, when she noticed the tea stains on Jiang Yingliang's sleeves, she couldn't help but say loudly: "Oh, you have tea on your clothes, so let's go down with me to change your clothes." ”
Jiang Yingli raised her eyebrows when she heard this, she wasn't sure what the other party wanted to do, but Qu Huashang actually said this, and she couldn't refuse, so she smiled: "Then it's annoying to the noble concubine." ”
Yun Zhu stretched out her arm with some concern, and Jiang Yingli smiled at her comfortingly: "Yun Zhu, you just stay here and wait for me." Then he followed the noble concubine out of the banquet.
When the others saw this scene, they couldn't figure out what Hua Gui Concubine was thinking, didn't they say that the two had a deep hatred? Why does it seem to be quite harmonious now?
Everyone was beating drums in their hearts, not knowing what to do next to please the noble concubine, whether to continue to target Jiang Yingli or change direction? Everyone was talking for a while, and their minds were not on the feast.
After a while, Jiang Yingli came out with Hua Gui Concubine, and everyone quickly gathered their minds, preparing to see the clues from Hua Gui Concubine and Jiang Yingli's faces, and then adjust their strategies.
Who knows, when Jiang Yingli came out with a change of clothes, everyone was stunned, especially some elderly ladies, after seeing the clothes Jiang Yingliang was wearing, their expressions were stunned, and they all had complicated expressions - some were gloating, some were full of doubts, and some were quietly watching the excitement.
All in all, after Jiang Yingli came out this time, everyone tacitly agreed not to say more.
Jiang Yingli also noticed the change in the expressions of everyone present, she looked at the Huagui Concubine beside her suspiciously, but the Huagui Concubine just smiled faintly, and then returned to her place.
Although Jiang Yingli was strange, but there were so many people, she couldn't ask the other party, so she could only go back to her seat, who knows, just sat down, she was dragged by Mrs. Hou, she said anxiously: "You go home with me!" ”
Jiang Yingli looked at her mother in surprise, and then whispered: "Mother, what are you doing, the palace banquet hasn't started yet?" ”
Who knew that Mrs. Hou gritted her teeth and whispered, "Who let you wear this dress?" ”
Jiang Yingli looked down strangely, although the clothes looked a little old, there was nothing wrong with them.
Her puzzled expression was seen in Mrs. Hou's eyes, Mrs. Hou understood that Jiang Yingli was calculated, thinking of this, she glared at Qu Huasheng who was sitting in a high position with dissatisfaction, and her heart was full of resentment.
Just when Jiang Yingli was puzzled and Mrs. Hou were at a stalemate, suddenly, the palace banquet quieted down, and it could be said that it could be said that the needle had fallen and could be heard.
Jiang Yingli was surprised by the changes in the scene, and subconsciously looked back, just meeting the emperor's cold face.
Seeing the emperor coming, Jiang Yingli came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted, and the others also seemed to have suddenly pressed the play button, and hurriedly saluted the emperor.
It's just that after saluting, everyone lowered their eyes, but looked at Jiang Yingli from time to time, their eyes were very complicated, and more sympathetic, but Mrs. Hou was anxious.
The emperor squinted his eyes and stepped forward to walk in the direction of Jiang Yingliang, but as soon as he raised his foot, he was grabbed by the arm of the concubine beside him.
The emperor turned his head to look at Concubine Shu unhappily, Concubine Shu was keenly aware of the emperor's anger, and still pulled out a reluctant smile and said: "Today is the palace banquet of the sister of the noble concubine, you can't steal her limelight today." ”
Concubine Shu's words were actually a bit dull, but she was also secretly reminding the emperor that she couldn't be angry today.
These days, she can see clearly, the emperor really likes the noble concubine, and it is the kind of like in the eyes of the heart, the concubine is just a gamble to see how much the emperor attaches importance to the noble concubine.
I didn't expect her to really bet right, after hearing her words, although the emperor still had a little residual anger in his eyes, he didn't continue, but just looked at Jiang Yinglian's eyes with a trace of coldness, but his brows also relaxed.
It just so happened that the noble concubine stepped forward at this time and grabbed the emperor's other arm and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can count it as coming, we can only hold a banquet when you come." ”
The emperor raised a smile on his face, and said like a spring breeze: "I'm late, I'll punish myself later." After speaking, he ignored the concubine next to him, and followed the noble concubine to the main seat, and saw that the others were secretly talking.
Everyone finally understands now, and now the status of the harem concubine, I am afraid that this gorgeous concubine will ride the dust, and directly trample all the other harem nobles under their feet, and everyone eagerly patted the sycophants for a while.
The elderly ladies also breathed a sigh of relief, they originally thought that the emperor was going to be angry, but who knows, they actually endured it stubbornly, looking at Jiang Yingliang's eyes with a little surprise - this Jiang Yingliang is really too lucky.
Not long after the banquet began, Mrs. Hou took Jiang Yingli away in a low-key manner, of course, she went to greet Concubine Shu before leaving, and then told the emperor about their departure when Concubine Shu was free, after all, Mrs. Hou really didn't dare to touch her head at this juncture.
Sitting in the carriage home, Jiang Yingli still didn't understand, she looked at Mrs. Hou for a while and asked, "Mother, why are you so flustered today?" Didn't you ask me to come to the banquet? How did you come back so early? ”
Mrs. Hou was very helpless when she heard Jiang Yingliang's ignorant words, and then dissatisfiedly took off the clothes on her body, yes, it was taken off.
Jiang Yingli reflexively protected her clothes and looked at her mother strangely: "Mother, what are you doing?" ”
Mrs. Hou sighed, and then said softly: "Don't ask so much first, quickly take off this dress for me." Then he couldn't help but take out a set of coats from the secret compartment in the carriage and throw it to Jiang Yingli and let her change it.
Although Jiang Yingli was strange, she had to do it, and after taking off the clothes, Mrs. Hou took the clothes and loved and hated, but she still carefully wrapped the clothes in a piece of cloth, and then put them properly in the corner of the carriage.
