Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Court Plum Banquet

Huang and Ye Miao walked all the way, first looked at the place where Huang Wanru lives now, those gorgeous decorations, Huang Wanru sat on the embroidery pier and drank hot tea, saw them coming, smiled softly and said, "Auntie, cousin, you are here."

Ye Miao glanced at Huang Wanru's dress now, the tender yellow jacket outlined her slender waist, and the red gold dotted emerald hairpin between her hair was shining, it could be seen that Huang Wanru's life must be very comfortable, so she smiled and said: "Cousin, it seems that you are doing well with the third aunt, and my mother and I can be relieved."

Saying that, her eyes were full of anticipation and looked at Huang Wanru, at that time, Huang Wanru said that if it was successful, she would help them, Huang Wanru has always been smart, so she naturally knew what they meant, so she nodded immediately, and promised: "Auntie, cousin, don't worry, if I become the second young lady, no matter what, I will not forget your kindness."

Ye Miao smiled, took Huang Wanru's hand affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Cousin, we can't be rusty in the future." In the end, after Ye Miao accompanied Huang Wanru to say something, she saw that Huang Wanru was not interested, yawning again and again, and consciously left with Huang.

Huang went out and said a little angrily: "Why did Ru'er enter the third room like a different person?" I don't want to think about who helped her in the first place. ”

Ye Miao sneered, "No matter how indifferent my cousin is to us, she always promised to help us in the future, then that's it." She couldn't see Huang Wanru's perfunctory treatment of their mother and daughter, but she just saw how proud she could be for a few days.

Ye Hao has been waiting for the news of the second prince's return to the court, but she received a post from the palace, and the organizer turned out to be the queen's mother, who only said that the plum blossoms in the imperial garden were blooming very well, and invited them, the noble daughters of Bian Jing, to enter the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms.

On the day of entering the palace, Miao Lan combed Ye Hao's flying fairy bun, Ye Hao chose a purple jacket by herself, and picked a cloud-footed pearl tendril hairpin, which was simple but luxurious.

Because this is the invitation to the nobles of the provinces, the concubines are not allowed to enter the palace, Ye Hao got into the carriage and saw Ye Mei wearing a pink jacket, her eyes swept over Ye Hao's face, and said with a light smile: "The fourth sister has put a lot of thought into it today."

Ye Hao said: "Each other, each other." After speaking, he didn't want to talk to Ye Mei more, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The queen enjoyed the plum banquet in the imperial garden, Ye Hao and Ye Mei entered the palace one after the other, and entered the imperial garden under the guidance of the eunuch, and soon Ye Mei found a handkerchief, so Ye Hao was alone, but Ye Hao was not half embarrassed or lonely, she walked like no one around, and the extravagance of the whole body made people dare not look directly.

You can't walk around in the palace, Ye Hao knows this truth very well, and is thinking about whether she should find a remote place to sit down, but she is blocked in front of her, Ye Hao can't stop for a while, and almost bumps into the person.

She looked up a little puzzled, but saw Princess Luxiang's arrogant face, she looked at Ye Hao, and suddenly scolded sharply: "Ye Hao, don't you have long eyes?" I actually bumped into Princess Ben! ”

Princess Luxiang was surrounded by many noble girls, all of whom looked at Ye Hao's answer with a playful attitude, who didn't know that Princess Luxiang had always been at odds with Ye Hao, and this time Ye Hao hit the muzzle.

Touching Lu Xiang is not relenting today, Ye Hao has a headache, in fact, Princess Lu Xiang's tricks are really naΓ―ve, for example, she has seen too much of this method in her previous life, she frowned, as if she was a little annoyed, and said: "It's the courtier's daughter, it's the courtier's daughter who doesn't have many eyes." She said with great seriousness.

However, the nobles wondered what Ye Hao meant by this, Princess Luxiang didn't think it was sarcastic at all, but raised her head arrogantly and said coldly: "Apologizing is your attitude?"

"Apologize? What's wrong with the courtier? Ye Hao's smile was shallow, Princess Luxiang was used to being arrogant, no one dared to refute her, Ye Hao actually questioned her words, she changed her face immediately, and said angrily: "Ye Hao, you actually questioned the words of this princess This princess said that you crashed into the palace, that is, you collided, and the nobles present are not blind."

"Oh? It's a lively place, isn't it? A lazy voice came, and the nobles present quietly blushed, yes, the person who came was Jun Ninglan, the famous prince of Bian Jing, uninhibited, just look at him in a fiery red robe, it is obvious that in the cold winter season, he is biased to open his chest, revealing a touch of white skin.

His peach blossom eyes were shining, and there was a strange brilliance when he smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, he looked at Ye Hao condescendingly, and said casually: "Indeed, Ye Hao offended the imperial sister and should be punished."

When Princess Luxiang heard this, she was overjoyed, she looked down on Jun Ninglan on weekdays, but this time his words made her very happy, and then nodded, and said confidently: "Ye Hao, did you hear it, even the Sixth Emperor Brother said that it was your fault!"

Ye Hao's smile remained unchanged, the corner of her eyes met Jun Ninglan's gaze, and she immediately understood his thoughts, so she said slowly: "It's the courtier's fault," she said ashamedly: "It's just that the courtier's daughter only has two pairs of eyes, it is clear that there is no one in front of her one moment, and the next moment Her Royal Highness the princess is standing in front of me, the courtiers should have more eyes than people."

When she said this, Princess Luxiang's face turned from blue to white and then to blue when she heard this, which means that she deliberately blocked in front of Ye Hao, and then blamed Ye Hao for framing her for colliding with her?

Jun Ninglan raised his eyebrows and smiled mockingly, "Miss Ye, the next time you see the imperial sister, you have to have more eyes." "He was already good-looking, and when he laughed, he was even more seductive, but few people could see that he was actually very cold inside.

The nobles couldn't help but laugh when they were amused by Jun Ninglan's words, but they didn't dare to laugh because of Princess Luxiang's face, they only looked at Jun Ninglan quietly, Princess Luxiang looked at Jun Ninglan and Ye Hao suspiciously, and suddenly an idea came to mind, "Why do I speak so much for Ye Hao when I am the Sixth Emperor Brother, it turns out that the Sixth Emperor Brother and Miss Ye have a lot of friendship." ”

Her words are very reverie, for example, why did the six princes, who originally didn't care about everything, help Ye Hao speak, and the nobles wondered if Ye Hao had seduced Jun Ninglan and made Jun Ninglan defend her like this, in fact, in the final analysis, it was the jealousy of women, and Princess Luxiang wanted to arouse the dissatisfaction of the nobles.

"It's really strange, Imperial Sister, what kind of friendship can I have with Ye Hao, if I say that the friendship is only between men and women," Jun Ninglan smiled evilly, very ambiguous, "If that's the case, I have a lot of friendship with everyone present." ”

Princess Luxiang couldn't be so skinless and faceless as Jun Ninglan, and she couldn't please Ye Hao, so she immediately wanted to lose her temper, maybe it was the mother-daughter connection, Princess Luxiang's biological mother, Ping Zhaoyi Shi Shiran, came over, glanced at Ye Hao with disdain, and said: "This noble girl is actually sharp-toothed, but where did Luxiang displease the noble girl?"

"Sister Ping Zhaoyi, what are these words, the young lady doesn't look unreasonable, it should be Princess Luxiang who bullied this young lady." The delicate female voice came, but it didn't look contrived at all, a woman dressed in a light blue palace dress and combing a bun walked over slowly, and a smile on the corner of her mouth was just right.

However, Ye Hao's face changed suddenly, and she had always been very calm without changing her face, so that Jun Ninglan felt that Ye Hao was not happy or angry, but now the virtuous concubine who appeared in front of them, he was not wrong about the irrepressible anger in Ye Hao's eyes, she seemed to be enduring something.

Ping Zhaoyi sneered, her eyes sharpened, and said, "Sister Xianfei, are we Luxiang unreasonable people?" Princess Luxiang snuggled in Ping Zhaoyi's arms, her mouth was aggrieved, and her resentful eyes frequently looked at Concubine Xian.

In fact, the reputation of the virtuous and dignified concubine has spread in the palace, who does not know the reputation of the virtuous concubine Niangniang's leisurely virtue, treating people gently, not fighting for everything, not fighting for favor and not fighting for fame, is this really the case?

Ye Hao stared at Concubine Xian's well-maintained face, her eyes were very sharp, it was just an illusion, this woman was not only scheming, but also clever in her means, and it was not a problem to win over people's hearts, even this means, Jun Chengxuan also learned seven or eight, the methods and strategies of the court's courtiers were all from Concubine Xian, and the courtiers would be loyal to their masters.

"Ah, is this young lady all right?" Concubine Xian looked kind and said softly.

Ye Hao nodded, there should still be some superficial respect, and there should be a number of courtesies, she bowed and said, "Ye Hao see the virtuous concubine."

"Oh? This is Miss Ye Si? It's really a beautiful woman. Concubine Xian couldn't hide her surprise in her heart, didn't she say that Ye Hao was a famous straw bag? Why can't I see that she has the slightest stupidity and woodenness, the girl's humility and arrogance simply suppress all the nobles present.

It's just that Concubine Xian's words pushed Ye Hao to the forefront again, so many noble girls present, where is it not as good as Ye Hao's straw bag? The partial concubine looked at Ye Hao differently, what can the women think? It's nothing more than that Concubine Xian thinks highly of Ye Hao for the sake of the three princes, after all, no matter how bad Ye Hao is, she is also Ye Meng's daughter, and Ye Meng holds great power.

"Oh, Concubine Xian, you can't favor one over the other, there are so many beauties here? Why do you only praise Ye Hao one? Jun Ninglan said lazily, he is used to acting presumptuously and absurdly on weekdays, so everyone didn't think about it, they just felt that he was just making trouble, but Ye Hao knew that he was helping him out of the siege.

Concubine Xian retracted her gaze, turned to look at those noble girls, and said with a smile: "All the noble ladies are all beautiful and beautiful, by the way, there is a plum forest in front of you, why don't you go and take a look?"

The virtuous concubines and maidens all sent out invitations, and the nobles naturally wanted to cater to her, so they nodded more than once, and Ye Hao automatically blocked the vicious eyes from Princess Luxiang and Ping Zhaoyi, and she was calm and ready to keep up.

Jun Ninglan shook her head quietly, the warning in her eyes was full of meaning, Ye Hao's heart jumped, and a little uneasiness welled up in her heart, presumably Jun Ninglan would not lie to her, so she simply squatted down, frowned, and her face suddenly turned a little pale.

"What? Miss Ye is really hypocritical! Princess Luxiang said disdainfully.
