Chapter 10: See You Again at the Flower Banquet (2)
The sprinkling of golden plums in the imperial garden is in full bloom, and the red spots on the white petals contrast with each other, but unfortunately no one appreciates it at this time.
Xie Huaijin didn't pay any attention to Concubine Li anymore, he moved his hand behind him slightly. The guards who followed immediately stepped forward and dragged Li Qianyue down.
Li Qianyue didn't have time to react at all, but Li Guifei said with a cold face: "What is the prince doing?" Do you want to spoil everyone's good interest? ”
Li Qianyue's skirt was messed up in the tugging, she was very embarrassed, she cried and shouted at Li Guifei, "Auntie, aunt ......"
It's a pity that Xie Huaijin didn't leave a single look at Concubine Li, and threw his life out of the imperial garden.
Some of the girls almost screamed at this scene, and their faces turned a little pale.
You must know that Xie Huaijin led the army to the north at the age of fifteen, and it only took a few months to make the northern Xinjiang country that was eyeing Nanqi a tiger, and at the age of sixteen, he led 10,000 light cavalry to level several small countries that were vassals of Xiliang, and since then he has broken the situation of the three kingdoms with his own strength, so that many small countries have begun to cling to Nanqi. Xie Huaijin also won the title of "evil god" because of this.
The young man became famous, and he was a nobleman, so naturally there were many girls who admired him. But the anger around him is also very human......
Qiao Mei couldn't help but look at the tall figure, but the two of them inadvertently glanced at each other.
The shattered ice in the other party's narrow eyes was frighteningly cold, and the sword eyebrows in the sideburns were slightly twisted.
Qiao Mei silently withdrew his gaze, and sighed that it was indeed a cold facial paralysis......
A girl next to her couldn't help but touch Qiao Mei, she didn't speak, her face was a little unpleasant, and she was obviously frightened by Fang Cai's scene.
Qiao Mei searched for her identity in her mind, and it took a long time to remember that this was the daughter of General Dingyuan, named Lin Xueyi, and her father was a firm prince in the court.
Thinking about it, Qiao Mei suddenly remembered this Lin Xueyi, isn't it the girl who later fell in love with the five princes and hired a carriage to put people to death?
Qiao Mei looked at her in horror, how ...... She doesn't look like someone would do such a thing.
Sensing her gaze, Lin Xueyi looked back at her suspiciously, and the three big words "what to do" hung on her face clearly.
Qiao Mei shook his head.
Today's flower banquet ended unhappily, and Concubine Li also broke away after Xie Huaijin left, leaving a group of noble ladies staring at each other.
Anyway, Qiao Mei later learned that Concubine Li Guifei cried in front of Emperor Zhaoren and sued, but was angrily reprimanded and ordered Li Qianyue to cause trouble.
In Qiao Mei's opinion, Li Guifei's motive for killing Xie Huaijin was zero. Although Concubine Li Guifei is not able to ascend to the hall of elegance, she is well versed in the way of the harem, she is disgusted that Xie Huaijin has sat on the throne of the prince, but obviously she will not choose to get rid of Xie Huaijin at this moment.
In her previous life, Concubine Li always wanted to let the Nine Emperor Princes Xie Rongyin take the metabolism of Huaijin, but Xie Rongyin was only a ten-year-old child, no matter how much Emperor Zhaoren loved Xie Rongyin, he would not pass on the position of prince to him when he had so many sons.
Moreover, if Xie Huaijin dies, other princes will compete for the throne, and Li Guifei, who has no support from the maternal family, and Xie Rongyin, who is still young, are by no means their opponents.

Jingguo Mansion, Suxin Temple.
The night is thick, and the long night is full of stars.
Under the corridor, a maidservant girl walked by with something in her hand, she pushed open the gate of the courtyard and entered the small courtyard, but when she saw the scene inside, she immediately put down the things in her hand, and said in a loud voice: "Miss! Hurry up and put it down, where is this wedding dress that you can sew! ”
The person under the candle flame frowned and smiled, but she didn't put down the fiery red clothes in her hand, only comforted the maidservant, "Lan'er is fine, anyway, I'm idle now." ”
Lan'er was so anxious that she was about to cry, but she didn't dare to step forward and take it down, "The slave maid heard the old man say that the bride can't touch the wedding dress before wearing it, otherwise she won't ......be able to stay with her husband for a long time."
Qiao Hui hid the sneer that flashed in her eyes, handed her the clothes, and said, "Then these days, I have to work hard for you." ”
"It's what a slave should do." Lan'er hurriedly took it, put the red wedding dress lightly on the bed, and folded it.
Qiao Hui looked at the red, the smile in her eyes did not change, but her hands were slowly clenched, trimming her slender nails and clasping her palms, but a little pain spread to the tip of her heart.
Here, Lan'er opened the food box again, and her voice was much lower: "Those mothers in the kitchen are much bolder when they see that you are grounded by the old lady, and when you get married, you must make them look good!" ”
The dinner that was not too sumptuous was brought to the table, and Qiao Hui couldn't eat it when she saw it, so she said, "Lan'er, you can eat." Then he turned and went into the inner room.
Let Lan'er call her anxiously from behind.
This night is destined to be sleepless.
On the second day, when the sun came up a little later, there was a knock on the door of Suxin Courtyard, and the person who came was Mama Li beside Qi's side. A few days ago, she was wronged as the one who made the maid harm Qiao Mei, and was punished by Mrs. Qiao, but now she looks not only emaciated, but also has no good face in the past. She was followed by several mothers-in-law, all holding brocade boxes of different sizes in their hands.
Lan'er, who opened the door, saw this posture and immediately bowed her head in a daze and gave way.
Mama Li said with a cold face: "What about the third lady?" ”
"Miss...... Draw patterns in the middle. ”
Mama Li snorted coldly, "The third lady is idle, and she doesn't come to visit her when her mother is sick, and the fifth son is much more sensible than her sister." ”
Lan'er said in a panic: "Is my aunt sick?" As soon as she finished speaking, Mama Li slapped her hard, her hands had done rough work when she was young, and her strength was very strong, Lan'er was suddenly slapped to the ground by her, and her head was buzzing.
I heard Mama Li scolding angrily: "Cheap! What is Aunt Xu? Dare to compare with Mrs.? It's only been how long I've moved here, and I can't remember who the master here is? As she spoke, her big hand was about to pull Lan'er's hair and teach her a lesson.
"Mama's anger!"
A soft voice came.
Mama Li sneered: "It's the third lady, you came just in time, this cheap maid dares not to put the second lady in her eyes, this is to be beaten to death by a stick in Jinhua Courtyard!" ”
Qiao Hui turned her head to meet Lan'er's aggrieved eyes, she smiled at Mama Li, and said softly: "Mama, please don't be angry, Lan'er is indeed wrong, I will definitely punish her." But Hui'er only heard yesterday that her grandmother had praised her mother for a long time, and she thought that her old man's anger had disappeared a few days ago. ”
