Chapter 11: Posing
Taking a deep breath, Han Jinxiu told herself in her heart not to be discouraged, and immediately had a smile on her face: "Your Highness, you don't have to be polite, this is a matter for the concubines." ”
Ah Yan: "......" is really shameless, and the things within her share are also due to what she said, so what has she done in the past four months!
Realizing that Han Jinxiu's gaze fell on his hand, the prince reached out and handed over the green silk handkerchief in his hand, signaling Han Jinxiu to take it.
Han Jinxiu stretched out his jade hand to take the silk handkerchief, which seemed to still have the breath of the prince, withdrew the silk handkerchief into his sleeve, and turned his head to look at Ah Yan: "There are still some things to say to His Royal Highness alone in this palace." "This is to let Ah Yan out.
Ah Yan was naturally reluctant, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the prince speak: "Then Ah Yan will retreat first." The prince asked him to step down, Ah Yan glanced at Han Jinxiu angrily, what kind of ecstasy soup did she pour into the prince, and she helped Han Jinxiu once or twice.
"The queen mother's birthday banquet was messed up last night, and the concubine wanted to set up a banquet in the East Palace today to invite the queen mother and the third sister, I don't know what His Royal Highness thinks?" Han Jinxiu's hands were folded on her waist, and a pair of black and white eyes burst out with a scorching luster, shining and full of expectation.
Set up a banquet to invite Queen Chen and the third princess, the prince was stunned when he heard this, and a touch of color crossed his eyes, and said calmly: "The crown princess is the mistress of the East Palace, so there is no need to come to ask for help in such a trivial matter." ”
Is Han Jinxiu really the hostess of the East Palace? So why didn't Ah Yan listen to her and be disrespectful to her? There is also a banquet in the East Palace to invite Queen Chen and the third princess, which is actually a trivial matter in the eyes of the prince.
Then she continued: "The concubine wants to invite the imperial sister to accompany her, does the prince have any objections?" ”
Although the eldest princess Zhou Yuanhua said that she was a fellow mother of the prince, she had a cold temperament and was not close to the prince, Han Jinxiu had only been married to the East Palace for less than four months, and the relationship between them could be eased.
The imperial sister accompanied, and the prince said casually: "Why her?" The implication was to ask Han Jinxiu why she wanted the eldest princess to accompany her.
"Because at the queen mother's birthday banquet, only the royal sister believes in the prince, so you can walk around with the imperial sister more in the future. Besides, the imperial sister is not young, and it won't take long to get out of the cabinet, while she is still in the palace, you two brothers and sisters ......" Han Jinxiu's words were not finished, and he was interrupted impatiently by the prince.
"If it weren't for the royal sister to humiliate the palace maid in red, she might not have committed suicide." The prince snorted softly.
Han Jinxiu said disapprerovingly: "Your Highness, you are wrong, whether there is an imperial sister or not, the red-clothed palace maid will definitely commit suicide before you arrive." The imperial sister is your sister-in-law, how can she harm you, but it is just to help you delay time, she is a good intention, but the traitor is too cunning, and she clearly wants to frame His Royal Highness at the birthday banquet of the queen mother. "The purpose of the traitor is to die without proof, so that the prince has no way to defend himself.
After a little thought, the prince's eyes flashed, and his pursed lips became more and more pursed into a thin line like a steel wire.
Unexpectedly, there was no refutation, Han Jinxiu bowed: "Your Highness pay more attention to rest, and the concubines will retire." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, there was still a lot of things she needed to prepare, and she had to get busy.
Out of the prince's bedroom, Han Jinxiu raised her head and looked up at the cloudless sky, closed her eyes slightly, and felt the gentle breeze, which was in a good mood. In her previous life, because she was instigated by King Zhan, she did not have a good relationship with the prince, and she did not even attend such an important day as Queen Chen's birthday banquet, and the red-clothed palace maid succeeded in framing the prince, which made the emperor and everyone begin to dislike the prince.
In addition, the relationship between the prince and the eldest princess has also become deadlocked, and the prince, as he is today, thinks that the eldest princess insults the palace maid in red, otherwise, the palace maid in red will wait until he comes, and there will be a chance to confront him. The prince is the same as today, and he didn't explain, maybe because he was disdainful, so let her protect him!
Today's prince looks cold, high up, even if she wants to talk to the prince, it's not appropriate, just let her make more efforts!
Looking at the back of Han Jinxiu leaving, a smile appeared in the prince's bleak eyes, and then flashed, and he commanded Ah Jiu and Ah Yan who walked in: "Throw out this bowl of bird's nest!" ”
The bird's nest was poured out, but it was brought by the crown princess, didn't the prince taste it? Ah Jiu was just about to help Han Jinxiu speak, but Ah Yan, who was quick-eyed, picked up the bird's nest, only to hear him say respectfully: "Yes, the slave obeys." ”
Ah Jiu: "......" Ah Yan hates the crown princess so much, so impatient.
Empress Chen was talking to the third princess when she saw the palace maid walk in and say that the crown princess was coming.
Hearing this, the third princess snorted: "What is she going to do!" ”
Empress Chen glared at her and said, "Don't be so rude in front of her later, she is the crown princess and your imperial sister-in-law." ”
"What qualifications does she have to be the princess's sister-in-law as an unfavored concubine of the Zhenbei Palace, Queen Mother, you are the queen of the Great Zhou, why should you be afraid of her? I'm your own daughter, and I'm more noble than her! The third princess retorted disapprovingly, if it weren't for Han Jinxiu's sudden appearance and fighting for the prince, then at the queen mother's birthday banquet, those ministers and family members would still praise her as a brave and good princess, where would she be ridiculed by everyone, and the pink fist under the sleeve curled up.
Subconsciously twisted her eyebrows, and Queen Chen said lightly: "This is how the queen mother teaches you to be breathless!" You, what does the queen mother say, even if you hate her again, you still have to have the posture you should have in front of her. Okay, you won't say anything later, and your mother will deal with her later. Stretched out his hand and patted the jade hand of the third princess Zhou Yuanle, and then looked at the palace maid and motioned for her to invite the princess in.
But after a while, the palace maid led the princess in, Han Jinxiu quickly asked Queen Chen to say goodbye, explained her intention, and messed up Queen Chen's birthday banquet because of the prince, so Han Jinxiu set up a banquet for Queen Chen's mother and daughter in the East Palace tonight to make amends.
Empress Chen bowed her head with relief: "The crown princess has a heart, but the prince is also a victim of this matter, so the palace and the third princess will not go, thank you for the kindness of the princess." ”
Han Jinxiu said softly: "Queen Mother, the prince can't come because of his weak body, isn't it because the queen mother wants the prince to come and invite you in person?" Queen Mother, you can agree, go to the East Palace with the third princess, and we will have a simple meal, which can be regarded as our husband and wife to make amends to you. He knelt on the ground reverently and was respectful to Queen Chen.
This made the third princess blink, full of disdain, what could the unfavored concubine do if she became the crown princess, she was not obediently kneeling under Queen Chen's knees at the moment, begging her, which made the third princess feel a little happier.
Empress Chen hurriedly leaned over to help Han Jinxiu, who was kneeling on the ground, to get up, and said softly: "Okay, since the crown princess is so gracious, then the palace and the third princess are disrespectful." Hurry up and be careful. While talking, he pulled Han Jinxiu to sit beside him, and the two talked for a while before Han Jinxiu left.
As soon as Han Jinxiu left, the third princess pouted, "Queen Mother, why are you unhappy?" "She is the daughter of Queen Chen, and the queen mother is not happy, but she can still see it.
Empress Chen tugged at the corners of her mouth: "Okay, let's go and choose clothes for the banquet in the evening!" "I don't want to tell the third princess, why is she unhappy?
The third princess said lightly: "Oh, queen mother, the ministers will retire first." ”
Queen Chen looked at the back of the third princess leaving, squinting, she never expected that Han Jinxiu would be able to lower her posture and come to the palace to invite her to the banquet. If Han Jinxiu hadn't appeared on the day of her birthday banquet, protected the prince and fought for him, today's prince doesn't know how many punishments he has received from His Majesty, how can he be so proud. In the past, she underestimated Han Jinxiu, and she couldn't hide it thoroughly, which could impress her at a critical moment.
As soon as she raised her hand, Empress Chen quickly swept away the things on the table, and there was a crisp sound of things breaking in the hall, and the palace people who were smashing the bells were up and down in their hearts, and they knelt on the ground with their eyes down.
