Chapter VIII

This time, not only was the surroundings quiet, but even the front hall was quiet.

Xie Zhen's face darkened, and he regretted that he had taken Shen Beihe to the banquet today.

Xie Zhi looked at Shen Beihe sideways, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, but he was extremely sinister, and then his thin lips opened slightly, and his voice like a pearl and jade spit out gently, "I am a broken sleeve." ”

The quiet hall resumed its noise after a few moments, Shen Beihe smiled, sat back in place, his eyes wandered back and forth between the teacup on the table and Xie Zhen, and after a long time, he pulled Xie Zhen's sleeve and said timidly: "Don't be angry, I also excused you at that time." ”

Xie Zhi unceremoniously pulled his sleeves back, and the corners of his lips pulled perfunctorily, "So I thank you." ”

Shen Beihe's face was speechless, he really didn't know what to say.

In the front hall, although Chu Jinshuang was sent to the warm pavilion for medicine, the princess of Pingjun still did not give up with the Marquise of Xuanping, although the marquise is not a weak character, but because today is the old lady's birthday banquet, it is always too stiff, but the princess of Pingjun feels sorry for Chu Jinshuang's tightness, how can she be willing to suffer such a loss?

So much so that Pei Kun, the Marquis of Xuanping, came, but Princess Pingjun still refused to retreat half a point.

And everyone didn't dare to make enemies with them because of their low rank, they all watched the show on one side, and didn't dare to step forward to persuade them more.

"I think that over the years, the king of Pingjun has made great achievements in war, and he has the merit of founding the country, which makes Princess Pingjun so domineering."

The sound of old age poured into everyone's ears, causing the noisy hall to suddenly fall silent.

From a distance, I only saw a noble man in a sandalwood dress walking dignifiedly, although the person was slightly old, but the momentum of the whole body was not reduced at all, and her eyes exuded a terrifying momentum, and she suppressed the momentum of the audience as soon as she appeared.

This person is the old lady of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, the Zhao family.

Zhao's maiden family can be described as a real family, her mother is the eldest daughter of General Sanpin Yunlu, her father is the first Wuyang Hou, her brother is the Wuyang Hou who holds the Danshu iron coupon, and the rest of the relatives are also prominent families.

This is notoriously unprovoked, not to mention Princess Pingjun, even Prince Gong, the father of King Pingjun, has to be respectful and respectful, and dare not have the slightest neglect.

So when Princess Pingjun saw that Mrs. Zhao was coming, her face immediately changed and she closed her mouth.

When the Marquis of Xuanping and the Marquise saw that Mrs. Zhao was coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"My son respectfully invites the old lady De'an."

"The daughter-in-law respectfully invites the old lady De'an."

Mrs. Zhao raised her hand slightly, signaling the two to get up, but her eyes never left Princess Pingjun, seeing that she lowered her head slightly and was silent, Mrs. Zhao's eyes couldn't help but add a little cruelty, "Why didn't Princess Pingjun speak?" ”

Princess Pingjun twisted her brows, bit her lip, but did not speak, although she was domineering, but after all, she understood that no one could be offended at all.

Old Lady Zhao walked slowly in front of Princess Pingjun, she was so powerful that she took a step back from the oppression of Princess Pingjun, and she didn't even dare to look at Old Lady Zhao.

Old Mrs. Zhao stared at Princess Pingjun with a cold face, muttered for a long time, and said coldly: "It was originally a trivial matter, but there is something wrong with my family, even if I take a few words of condemnation, it doesn't hurt." But you are so aggressive, bullying my gentle daughter-in-law, but you don't want to go with me, an old lady? ”

Princess Pingjun could only stubbornly say, "The courtiers don't dare." ”

Mrs. Zhao sneered, "You don't have to be so wrong-mouthed, the Lechuan County Jun is more noble than ordinary nobles, but if you want to come to Xiao Tongzhi to treat him as a young girl, she is also very loved, and they are also noble girls, how can the four girls of the Xiao family stand it, and the Lechuan County Jun can't stand it?" ”

Xiao Tongzhi is Xiao Yu's father, and he is called Xiao Tongzhi because of his official rank.

Princess Pingjun squeezed out a stiff smile, and hurriedly put it on, "Old lady Zhao is angry, it is the courtiers who said the wrong thing in a daze, and the courtiers will definitely reflect seriously in the future." ”

Who knew that Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to intend to give Princess Pingjun a thin face, and still said with a cold face: "I said, it was originally just a trivial matter, and it was you who made a big fuss, you relied on my son and daughter-in-law to be docile and unwilling to quarrel with others, relying on their filial piety, and didn't want to make a red face at my birthday banquet, so I made it so difficult for my son and daughter-in-law. ”

Everyone was silent, and Princess Pingjun was also silent, and the courtyard fell into a dead silence for a while, no one was willing to save Princess Pingjun, and no one dared to save it.

While everyone was silent, a beautiful and dignified woman stepped forward slowly and smiled gently, "Princess Pingjun, do you know that she is wrong?" ”

Princess Pingjun's eyes lit up when she saw the visitor, and she was even a little happy: "I know it's wrong!" ”

The woman slowly walked up to Mrs. Zhao and said with a smile: "The old lady is willing to sell me a thin noodle?" In the future, if someone dares to insult the Marquis of Xuanping, he will not be able to get along with the lord of Leping County, the king of Tongchang County, and the prince of Gong's mansion! Is that good? ”

Old Mrs. Zhao glanced at Princess Pingjun with a smile, and muttered for a few moments, and finally hooked a soft smile, "Even if the county lord of Leping opened her mouth, the old woman and I can't refuse, but this princess of Pingjun is really too much, she is too much of a bully, and she is really hateful to deceive my son and daughter-in-law to be humble and filial!" If she could respectfully finish lighting the sixty candles in the Shoutang, the matter would be over. ”

Seeing this, Princess Pingjun's hanging heart was put down.

"Princess Pingjun is willing?" The county lord of Leping tilted his head and looked at the princess of Pingjun.

"Yes, yes!" Princess Pingjun nodded repeatedly.

"Then let's go." Old Lady Zhao waved her hand, as if she didn't want to say more to Princess Pingjun.

The princess of Pingjun left with her front foot, and the county lord of Leping helped Mrs. Zhao to slowly enter the hall, and the two talked eloquently, so they were not enthusiastic.

"I haven't seen you for many days, and you've lost weight."

"How? It must be that today's dress is thin, but I make up for it every day in the house. ”

"Speaking of big supplements, I have a ginseng here, I'm too old to eat, so I'll give it to you."

"How dare you do that? Old lady, you can just keep it and eat it slowly. ”

"Do you take it?"

"Collect, collect!"

……

On the side of the hall, a certain visitor couldn't help but exclaim: "The county lord of Leping is really powerful, but he coaxed the old lady in a few words." ”

Xu was ignoring his friend because of his side, and the spectator turned his face to look at his friend, and asked softly, "Mingzhe, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's fine." Xie Mingzhe came back to his senses and smiled.

Xie Mingzhe didn't expect that Xiao Yu had become so thorough after only a few days of not seeing her, listening to her coldly reprimand everyone in the carriage, and watching her stand on the carriage and look at everyone like a stumbling eye, his mind actually changed a little.

But soon Xie Mingzhe threw these thoughts out of his mind, Xiao Yu just wanted to get away with it, but it was just a different way to attract him, and he couldn't take the bait.

"Gongzi Xie seems to have something on his mind." Xie Zhi walked slowly, and glanced at Xie Mingzhe meaningfully as he passed by.

Xie Mingzhe frowned, slightly resistant in his heart, and wanted to speak, but saw that Xie Zhi had already gone far away, so he could only give up.

And in the warm pavilion, when Xiao Yu was groggy and about to fall asleep, she only heard the sound of hurried footsteps pouring into her ears, but in a few moments, an extremely harsh female voice exploded in her ears, "This Xuanping Hou Mansion is really funny, it actually squeezed my Lechuan and others into a warm pavilion, how can they be so wronged?" ”

That's it, Xiao Yu didn't open her eyes to know who it was, so she simply closed her eyes and ignored the fool.

Who knew that Chu Jinshuang actually said softly: "Mother, I don't think it's ......."

But before Chu Jinshuang's words were finished, Princess Pingjun interrupted Chu Jinshuang's words, "Spring flowers, autumn moon, help the county monarch to go to the warm pavilion next door." ”

Alas, the girl is a good girl, but it's a pity that her mother is not a good mother.

Princess Pingjun took Chu Jinshuang away without saying anything, and the huge warm pavilion fell into a dead silence.

Xiao Yu planned to take advantage of this situation and sleep beautifully, but there was always a sound of rustling, which caused Xiao Yu to frown, and finally muttered in extreme sleepiness: "Who? ”

The sound of rustling stopped abruptly, and there was no movement for a long time, Xiao Yu felt strange but didn't think much about it, but after a few moments, Xiao Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong, and Xiao Yu seemed to be knocked out at this time in the novel.

Xiao Yu, who realized this, opened her eyes suddenly, and what caught her eye was the stick that was about to fall on her head, and looking up along the stick, she saw Xiao Lanyi's maid Shulan looking at her with horror on her face.

Xiao Yu looked at the stick that was close at hand, thought about it, and then got closer, and hit it head-on, scaring Shulan Shengsheng.
