Jiang Xinyue did not shirk, although she roamed the rivers and lakes and acted well, she was not a person without emotional intelligence, she had already inquired about a lot of things about the former Jingshu County Lord through King Ying and Mu Ruqing, which can be regarded as the secrets of the royal family.

In the past, Yuxue, the lord of Jingshu County, was cute, with the same temperament as Jiang Xinyue, and she didn't like to read and paint, which made the Queen Mother a headache, and the Queen Mother did not support her hobby, but restrained her as a secular princess. is not allowed to practice martial arts, she is sent to the study every day to study, and she can't even wear a gorgeous skirt, she can only learn the pink and tender clothes worn by those ladies, and learn some weak willow to help the wind.

It wasn't until she was killed later that the Queen Mother woke up, but it was too late, and the short life of this Jingshu princess could be said to be unhappy and free.

Since Jiang Xinyue, the Queen Mother has been desperately good to her, never restraining her anything, for fear that she will be restrained, and the skirts that people make for her are all envied by Princess Jingshu back then, and even when she dances the sword in Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother will smile and clap her hands and praise, never mentioning the rules in the palace.

The more Jiang Xinyue wantonly lives her own appearance, the more pleased the Queen Mother is, so Jiang Xinyue never refuses the Queen Mother's excessive favor for her, and the power sent to her hand, as long as it is not a major event of the family and country, she will not resist.

"Jingshu, do you think these arrangements are good?" The Queen Mother smiled and opened the list to watch with her.

Jiang Xinyue followed the queen mother's gaze and looked over one by one, they were all the family members of some princes or princesses, it stands to reason that everyone can bring a family member to the banquet, she looked all the way, and actually saw a familiar name, King Qi.

King Qi is the prince, so he naturally wants to attend this state banquet, but the family next to him is still blank. Jiang Xinyue said seemingly casually: "Huh? Didn't His Royal Highness King Qi bring his family? ”

"King Qi, he doesn't have a concubine, and he doesn't have a family member to report to, and the queen mother and the emperor don't know his thoughts, so they haven't settled down yet, what's the matter, does Jingshu have any suggestions?" The Queen Mother's finger swiped the name of King Qi, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, his mother was not a good person, so he naturally couldn't get taken care of.

A trace of cunning appeared on Jiang Xinyue's face, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it was eccentric: "Speaking of His Royal Highness King Qi, I know that there is one in his mansion and is a suitable candidate, some time ago he took the eldest lady of the Hou family of Anyang into the mansion and gave him the position of wife, just entered the mansion and had to be so high, I am afraid that he is really favored." This Mrs. Liu's identity is enough to attend, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anyang, she naturally has no choice in her upbringing, what do you think of the queen mother? ”

The Queen Mother naturally didn't think too much about it, she had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she really didn't know much about these things outside, so she said nonchalantly: "Since this is the case, just do what Jingshu says." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Jiang Xinyue smiled sweetly.

"King Qi's people have been decided, so who are you going to attend with?"

"What's so difficult about this, our restaurant owner Mu Ruqing, he is a talent, and this state banquet is also a banquet that he took the lead in preparing, so he should be there." Jiang Xinyue said naturally.

The Queen Mother glanced at her with some understanding, and tapped her forehead with her finger: "Your mind can be seen by everyone." ”

Jiang Xinyue stuck out her tongue, and the two laughed again.

After eating, bidding farewell to the Queen Mother and returning to the dormitory where she lived, Jiang Xinyue had a smile on her face, and used her power to block the people she hated, this feeling is really good, I just don't know what King Qi's expression was when he heard the news, but unfortunately it was inconvenient for people to go out and see for themselves in the palace.

People can't leave the palace, but the news can still be sent, she quickly wrote down today's arrangements and handed them over to the special messengers to send them to Yipinxiang, so that they could know about this "happy event" for the first time, and also comfort Ruan Mianmian, who was not in a good mood recently.

King Qi's expression was really not good-looking, and after Jiang Xinyue and the Queen Mother proposed, the will in the palace arrived at King Qi's mansion in less than an hour. King Qi listened to the content of the decree, but he didn't blink for a long time, and his eyes were round until the eunuch who announced the decree left, and he didn't react.

"Mrs. Liu? When did I have Mrs. Liu? "King Qi was also to block Liu Xi'er's nonsense that day, so he naturally turned his head and forgot that the steward of King Qi's Mansion did not tell him about Liu Xi'er's being sent at that time, he had long forgotten that there was such a person in his own mansion, and now he was a little confused when he heard the will.

"Lord Wang, this... I don't know if you still remember Liu Xi'er, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion of Anyang at that time, the night she framed Yipinxiang, she was exposed, and you promised to make him his wife on the spot, and later... Later, someone sent that Liu Xi'er over, and when you were angry, the slave didn't dare to report it, so he asked people to take her to a secluded place in the backyard to fend for herself. It's just that I don't know why, the palace actually knows such a person, I'm afraid someone has the intention to do it. The butler's head shouted loudly, and he fell to the ground and did not dare to look up.

"How many months has this woman been raised in this palace? You are bold! King Qi was furious, and the jade pot in his hand smashed on the ground, splashing a piece of broken jade.

"The prince is angry, I'm really afraid that the prince will be angry... The old slave is this..."

"This king was just laughed at at the time, and he unknowingly wore a green hat for several months? Quick, get that woman out! Throw it away! King Qi paced back and forth in the hall, his face as red as boiled pork liver.

The butler didn't get up, and hesitated: "But... But the will of the palace is to let Mrs. Liu... Oh no, Liu Xi'er accompanied you to the banquet, if you don't bring it, but you don't respect it, the emperor has always been eager to find fault with you, isn't this a mistake for him to handle? Never. ”

"Then do you think that it is not enough for this king to be ridiculed by the king of England, and you have to take her out to make the whole country laugh?" King Qi's mouth was crooked.

"The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave doesn't dare." The housekeeper confessed repeatedly.

"Alas, forget it, you have someone bring that woman, and the king wants to see her." King Qi took off his robe and sat down on the chair.

The butler hurriedly ran backwards, and in a short time he led a woman in, and he himself immediately exited the room.

Before King Qi raised his eyes, his nose first smelled a foul smell, yes, it was a foul smell, and even the swill bucket in the kitchen was not as good as this smell.

He hurriedly covered his nose tightly with his sleeves, and then he eased up, and when he looked up, he could barely recognize a woman standing in the middle of the room, except for her hair, her clothes were black and shiny, her hands and feet were thick with dirt, and her hair was knotted together, and she could no longer see her original appearance.

On her face, covered with weed-like hair, only a pair of eyes were still rolling, and a look of fear could be seen. The rest of the face is not visible, and the mouth is chapped and peeling. Lowering her head, she was barefoot, but this foot was different from the delicate silhouette of the slender foot that King Qi usually saw, her feet were full of mud and filth, and her ten toes were a little curled, which was really unsightly.

King Qi couldn't hold back after all, lowered his head and said "wow", and spit out the delicacies of the mountains and seas he ate at noon.

The housekeeper was also disgusted, and when he saw King Qi vomiting at the door, he hurriedly beckoned the maid to clean it up, and found someone to take the fragrance to smoke, which allowed King Qi to recover. King Qi approached the incense burner with his nose and shouted, "Take her out for me to bathe!" Wash up, change into clean clothes, and see me again! ”

After a while, he said, "Take out the carpet she stood on and burn it!"

The maids also looked disgusted, and they all covered their noses and took Liu Xi'er to the backyard, washed it all afternoon, and changed the water four or five times before they washed her roughly. After washing, it took an hour to comb her hair, and in order to make King Qi no longer look disgusting, he also specially smoked incense on the clothes she was wearing, which almost covered up the smell on her body, but she could still smell the indescribable stench when she was close.

Being ignored for so long in the most remote courtyard of the palace, Liu Xi'er was already a little desperate, she didn't think about escaping, but the people who brought her food stuffed the spoiled food through the door, she didn't even have a chance to get in touch with it, so naturally her blood would not be useful.

In addition to taking care of the meal, there is nothing for her, and no one fetches her water to bathe, let alone change clothes and dress up, such a ruined woman is not liked by the prince, so many beautiful concubines, how can it be her turn? The subordinates are all snobbish and don't want to waste a little more effort on her.

Now that King Qi has summoned her, it seems that there is something to do, she naturally sees hope again, at least King Qi knows her existence, and asks people to bathe and dress her, the original silent idea of revenge in her heart has re-ignited, and her eyes have a lot of brilliance, and she seems to see the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anyang who was once out of the limelight in the mirror.

was sent to King Qi again, and Liu Xi'er finally had some humans. Although she is not dressed up in a fancy way, she is still clean and tidy, she is wearing simple maid clothes, and her head is also a maid's hair ornament, and there is a small scar on her forehead that was injured and fell, which is also covered with broken hair that hangs down, but fortunately, her face is still outstanding.

"See the prince." Liu Xi'er knelt on her knees and bowed, her head bowed to the ground, and she waited for King Qi's response with some trepidation.

"Stand up, listen well, tomorrow you will enter the palace with this king for a banquet, you are the wife of this king Liu, remember your identity, don't embarrass this king." King Qi's face was expressionless.

Liu Xi'er stood up obediently, and her face couldn't hide her stunnedness. Follow King Qi into the palace for a banquet? This is the treatment she didn't have when she was the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion in Anyang, King Qi threw himself in the corner to fend for so long, obviously he didn't take the initiative to take him. It's just that he can't refuse to see that he is a prince, presumably someone outside is putting pressure on her.
