At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Liu Xier's mind, is it his biological father Anyang Hou? Or which nobleman knows that he is in the Qi Palace? Or is it Mu Ruqing, who he once thought about? No matter who it is, there is finally a day to get ahead, and if you have the opportunity to appear at the palace banquet tomorrow, you will definitely have a chance to turn over.

King Qi didn't know the idea of taking off the thread in Liu Xi'er's mind in front of him, otherwise he would have to vomit blood angrily, he beckoned to call the maid who was waiting: "You two, go find a gorgeous dress for her, and then give her some expensive jewelry in the warehouse, dress up, and never lose face outside." ”

For King Qi, although he felt that this woman was disgusting and shameless, but this time he went out as his wife, he couldn't be embarrassed anymore, and it was a big deal to find an excuse to make her disappear or die of illness after she came back, anyway, Anyang Hou had already cut off relations with her, and she had done such a shameless thing, and it was well known to everyone in the aristocratic circle, and no one would protect her if anything happened to her.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and they hated each other, and King Qi couldn't help but gag when he remembered what she looked like when she first came over, so he asked someone to take her down.

Tomorrow is the palace banquet, and she must not be allowed to go back to the broken courtyard, but she cleaned up a side room for her, and sent two maids to follow, serving her in the name of beauty, but in fact, she was afraid that she would make something happen to monitor her.

Lying on the soft and comfortable bed again, looking at this not too big but neat and clean look, Liu Xi'er's former pride as the concubine of the Hou Mansion rose again.

These days, she has been suppressed to the bottom, living a beggar-like life, naturally she can't afford to think about those glorious and rich things, and having a full stomach is the most luxurious thing, but now, as if everything has come back overnight, she has even begun to imagine that she is climbing up step by step in the Qi Palace, and finally letting Jiang Xinyue and Ruan Mianmian fall at her feet.

It's just that she doesn't know that fantasies are fantasies, and she doesn't think that fantasies can come true in her own subconscious.

Yi Pinxiang received the news almost at the same time as King Qi, and everyone gathered around the stove and watched as Fang Cannon opened the soft silk cloth.

Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wipe the silk cloth, and sighed: "The silk cloth in this palace is good, you see, there is no raw edge at all, and we are reluctant to use this kind of cloth as clothes in our people's homes, so we actually use it to write in the palace." ”

Uncle Hua didn't come over, and snorted lowly: "Hmph, tyrannical things." ”

Fang Dacang slowly opened the silk cloth, and the word King Qi was written crookedly on it, and a table was drawn, and a pattern of many people gathered together, and below was a person's name, Liu Xi'er.

Fang Dacang said to Ruan Mianmian: "When did Jiang Nuxia write so well, this thing can't be a forgery." ”

"You are talking nonsense, Sister Yue can write, thanks to Brother Mu, she has made great progress." Ruan Mianmian retorted.

"Look at what she's talking about." Liu Xin'er also came over.

Ruan Mianmian pondered for a while, and then said: "It is related to King Qi and Liu Xi'er, this also has a eating pattern, does it mean that King Qi will go to the palace banquet with Liu Xi'er tomorrow?" ”

"No, the news that came back at that time didn't mean that King Qi didn't know about Liu Xi'er's affairs in the palace, and what Liu Xi'er did, how could King Qi tolerate her and take her out?" Fang Dacang and Liu Xin'er were both a little incredulous.

"Then I don't know, maybe it was Sister Yue who made it bad, I really want to see what King Qi and Liu Xi'er will look like at that time." Ruan Mianmian fell on Fang Cannon's shoulder with some joy.

Xiao Liu came late, and he didn't know the cause and effect of this incident, but he was also a little happy to see Ruan Mianmian's happy look.

The second day soon arrived, the people of Yipinxiang had to prepare the ingredients, and at noon they were sent to the palace by the King of England, Mu Ruqing took Uncle Hua and Ruan Bai, and Fang Dacang was busy in the imperial dining room, and Liu Xin'er and Ruan Mianmian were invited to Shoukang Palace to accompany Jiang Xinyue and the Queen Mother because of Jiang Xinyue's care.

Although it was not the first time to meet the Queen Mother, the two of them still behaved in a proper manner, sitting with their heads down, for fear that making a wrong step would upset the Queen Mother.

But seeing that Jiang Xinyue was indeed extremely favored in front of the Queen Mother, the tension in the hearts of the two was much less, Ruan Mianmian catered to the topic of the Queen Mother, and from time to time picked up pastries from the table and stuffed them into his mouth.

The pastries on the Queen Mother's side are all made in the small kitchen, and you can't see such delicate pastries in the imperial dining room, and even the ordinary rose cakes are sprinkled with brightly colored rose petals.

What's more, there are some things that are used exclusively by the Queen Mother, only in Shoukang Palace, such as the Panlong mille-feuille cake in front of you, which is to press together many thin layers of almost transparent dough and not let them recombine into one, after baking, it is crispy and tender, but the inside is soft, and then wrapped in layers of special honey milk on the outside, which looks very attractive and crystal clear.

Ruan Mianmian is dressed very carefully today, the goose-yellow satin dress is layered, wrapped in a pure white cloak, the sleeves are picked by Mu Ruqing, but the wide sleeves are tightened at the cuffs, pressed with ruffles, cute and exquisite.

Ruan Mianmian also relied on this sleeve to cover most of his palms, pinched the Panlong mille-feuille cake one by one and put it in his mouth, felt that his mouth was dry, and then picked up the teacup and drank a sip of top-grade Fenglu tea, and after a while, a plate of pastries was at the bottom.

Ruan Mianmian's small movements below, how could the Queen Mother sitting on the main seat not see it, but she didn't restrain her. It's also a coincidence to say that the Queen Mother's connivance with Jiang Xinyue is because of the guilt accumulated over the years, but her love for Ruan Mianmian is really like such a character from the bottom of her heart.

"Miss Ruan likes this pastry very much?" The Queen Mother smiled and glanced at the empty plate in front of Ruan Mianmian, and felt a little surprised in her heart, she usually met with a lot of female dependents, all of them ate two or three pastries and said that they were full, and this pastry plate was empty for the first time.

Ruan Mianmian was not in a hurry when she was discovered, and said slowly: "The folk girl is knowledgeable, she has never tasted such a delicious pastry, and the pastries in the Queen Mother's Palace are the most delicious things Mianmian has ever eaten." ”

The Queen Mother really smiled, beckoned the palace maid to change another plate full of dragon mille-feuille cakes, and asked people to bring other styles of pastries, and set a full table in front of Ruan Mianmian.

"Since Miss Ruan likes to eat, let's try it all, but don't eat too much, it's not comfortable to accumulate food." The Queen Mother kindly instructed.

"Queen Mother, you can underestimate sleep, she is eating and broadcasting in Yipinxiang, eating a big table of hot pot alone, and after eating, you can eat a large plate of fruit and drink two bowls of porridge." Jiang Xinyue laughed out loud.

As soon as Jiang Xinyue said this, Ruan Mianmian also smiled a little shyly and rubbed her stomach.

"Yo, it's so edible? I'm afraid that a sturdy man won't be able to eat so much, and Miss Ruan won't feel uncomfortable after eating so much?" The Queen Mother's eyes widened, and she looked at Ruan Mianmian's eyes with some admiration.

"Returning to the Queen Mother, there is no discomfort, Mianmian is born to eat a lot, but she won't be hungry if she eats the amount of a normal person." With the words of the Queen Mother, Ruan Mianmian was even more busy picking up all kinds of delicate snacks and stuffing them into her mouth, her cheeks bulging, which was even cuter than a hamster.

"Sure enough, you are all strange people, and you can't let you work in vain today, pass on my meaning, everyone is arranging seats at the palace banquet today, and everyone can have fun together." The Queen Mother didn't know at this time, and as soon as she said this, it immediately caused an uproar in the harem.

The people who are a taste of incense, Mu Ruqing and Liu Xin'er were originally going to the banquet, Mu Ruqing and Jiang Xinyue were at the same table, and Liu Xin'er followed Anyang Hou, so the Queen Mother's will to go down Ruan Mianmian and Fang Cannon can have a place. Uncle Hua and Xiaoliu were in Yipinxiang to watch the house, and did not come out with them, with the lesson of the last time, the King of England sent a team of guards to guard in Yipinxiang, and he must not let King Qi take advantage of the situation like last time.

"Imperial grandmother, imperial grandmother! Fang Yan is here to greet you! Just when the Queen Mother was having a good conversation here, a crisp child's voice came from outside the door.

Ruan Mianmian looked up and followed the sound, only to see a little girl with a red coat jumping in from outside the threshold, her clothes were a little bigger, and the hem of her clothes was on the ground, making a rustling sound.

Only then did everyone recognize that this was the emperor's eldest daughter, Princess Fangyan from Concubine Lan. The emperor's heirs are thin, there are only two princesses and one prince, the eldest daughter Princess Fangyan has a lively personality, bohemian, ten years old this year, the second princess and the prince who are slightly younger than her are twins, but they are not in good health, and they rarely see guests.

Ruan Mianmian and Liu Xin'er got up and saluted, "I've seen Princess Fangyan." And Jiang Xinyue is the daughter of the Queen Mother, and she is considered to be the elder of Fangyan, so she doesn't have to salute.

The princess Fangyan ran straight into the arms of the queen mother, and did not look at others, and said coquettishly: "The imperial grandmother used to love me the most, why didn't she summon me for many days, didn't she love me anymore?" ”

Ruan Mianmian and Liu Xin'er got up separately, Ruan Mianmian looked up, and just saw that Princess Fangyan glanced at Jiang Xinyue, that look was really not good, and it can even be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe it with disgust, and Jiang Xinyue just lowered her head to taste tea, and did not see this glance, but Ruan Mianmian was an outsider after all, and it was impossible to say anything in person, so she could only pretend to be calm and sit down again, secretly thinking that she would find an opportunity to tell Jiang Xinyue later, and it was better to be wary as soon as possible.

"In this palace, you are the only one who dares to say this, and you still say that the mourning family doesn't care for you?" The Queen Mother pulled her to sit down, turned her head to the others and said: "You guys should also retreat first, you can go to Jingshu's dormitory or go to the imperial garden to stroll, before the dinner, the princess of Mobei will come to ask for peace, and the mourning family is really lacking." ”

The Queen Mother gave an order to expel the guests, everyone knew each other and saluted and retired, and kept holding her breath and walked out of the Shoukang Palace, Ruan Mianmian looked around and saw that there was no one, and the palace maid who followed and waited followed from a distance and did not come up, so she took Jiang Xinyue and Liu Xin'er's hands, and said quietly: "Sister Yue, the princess Fangyan just now, the look in your eyes is not quite right, there are many intrigues and tricks in the palace, you should be more careful." ”
