Shen Mengyi sat in the front hall drinking tea, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart, thinking that the last time she came, she didn't even dare to sit down, and now she can be regarded as a guest.

"The second imperial concubine has been waiting for a long time, and the palace has only gotten up, delaying for some time."

The concubine was supported by the palace maid and walked slowly over to this side, although her expression was not enthusiastic, but also pleasant.

Shen Mengyi stood up flattered, obviously overjoyed, but she still had to pretend to be reserved: "The concubine is polite, our relationship doesn't have to be like this, just call me Mengyi." ”

The palace maid beside the concubine glanced at her with disgust behind her, as if she had some friendship with the concubine in the past, and she dreamed of it, really to stick it up.

The concubine Niangniang chuckled, the teacup brought to her mouth just covered the disdain at the corner of her mouth, and her voice was still gentle: "What did the princess have to do today?" ”

"I originally came to visit the Seventh Princess, but Her Royal Highness the princess has not recovered from her illness and is inconvenient to see each other, it is a pity, I have been very bored recently, even Mingyuexi is busy doing business outside, I really can't find anyone to relieve my loneliness, alas."

Shen Mengyi looked lonely, and let out a long sigh, afraid that the concubine would not hear Mingyuexi doing business, and added: "Xiaoxi, she has been very busy recently, and she shows up outside every day, unlike me, she can only stay at home and wait for the second prince to come back." ”

The concubine's brows moved slightly, she received the news she wanted to transmit, and secretly calculated in her heart.

The words that should be delivered were delivered, and the two had nothing to talk about, and Shen Mengyi did not stay for long, and left the palace in a hurry.

The palace maid looked at Shen Mengyi's satisfied face when she left, and couldn't help but let out a voice of injustice.

"Niangniang, she is just a side concubine, and her identity is very different from Niangniang, why are you so tolerant of her?"

It's nice to say, it's a side concubine, if it's placed in an ordinary person's house, to put it bluntly, it's just a concubine, and it's thousands of miles away from the position of the main concubine.

The concubine lazily stretched out her hand to straighten her hairpin, and the corners of her mouth were a shallow smile: "As long as she can't threaten me, no matter what her identity is, as long as she can use it." ”

"But when she said that, she clearly wanted to borrow your hand to clean up Mingyue Creek."

"I'm just using her to get news, using each other, I can't say who suffers, you will naturally understand if you have been by my side for a long time."

The palace maid nodded as if she didn't understand, and asked tentatively, "Then what do you mean......

"Go and send a letter to all the officials and relatives in the capital, the seventh princess has just recovered from a serious illness, tomorrow I will invite them to the palace to gather together, especially the Hou Mansion, it must be delivered."

When she received the news, Mingyuexi was still in the shop, she pondered for a long time, and always felt that this time the matter was not simple, so she sent someone to inquire, only to know that Shen Mengyi had entered the palace, and she knew it in her heart.

Want to use the concubine's hand to suppress her? Dream! Not only did she want to let her calculation fail, but she also had to make sure that she regretted it again.

All day, Mingyuexi closed her door, scribbling on the paper with a pen, and even Fan Zhu didn't know what she was doing, so she looked over there curiously.

The next day, Mingyuexi carefully cleaned up, took the things that were temporarily prepared yesterday and got into the carriage, and went to the palace indifferently in her heart.

As long as the concubine didn't kill her, she was sure to reverse the Hongmen banquet that Shen Mengyi had created for her today.

Everyone arrived one after another, gathered in the palace of the concubine, all with joy on their faces, and said some congratulatory words to the concubine and the seventh princess.

Mingyuexi walked into the hall and immediately attracted the attention of the seventh princess and the concubine, the seventh princess's hands clenched under the table, and she looked at her through gritted teeth.

Feeling this scorching gaze, Mingyuexi didn't have to think about it to know who it was, she stepped forward generously, wanting to go over to pay respects, but was blocked by a palace maid holding something, and just a moment after she paused, the concubine opened her mouth dissatisfied.

"Mingyuexi, why don't you know how to come and say hello to the palace?"

Looking at the smugness on the palace maid's face, Mingyuexi still didn't understand anything, so she didn't explain too much, and stepped forward to salute: "Forgive me, concubine, I was negligent." ”

The concubine waved her hand, looking generous: "That's it, this palace doesn't like to entangle these, but you must know that this young lady of the Hou Mansion must have the appearance of an official family, not only in terms of etiquette, but also in terms of etiquette, this palace heard that you have been doing business in the capital recently, but there is such a thing?" ”

Mingyuexi smiled lightly and sloppily eyes, she couldn't admit it directly: "The concubine Niangniang said that I was just a woman, but I was just taking care of the family, and I was too proud to do business." ”

Even if she kept backing down, the concubine didn't intend to let her go, her eyes were much more serious: "Everyone has to see their identity clearly, do what they should do, you also know that you are a woman, no matter what, you shouldn't show up, this palace hopes that you know in your heart, otherwise, there will be no room for unruly people in the capital." ”

The hall was quiet, Shen Mengyi and the Seventh Princess were all watching her, and seeing Mingyuexi being beaten, their hearts were much more comfortable.

Guifei's words were serious, and the others were also waiting for Mingyuexi's reaction to see how she responded.

"Thank you for mentioning the concubine, it just so happened that I also brought a gift for the concubine today, so I will give it to the lady as a thank you gift."

Mingyuexi's attitude was still tepid, she asked her maid to step forward and give things to the concubine, looking at the gift wrapped in silk in front of her, the concubine raised her eyes, subconsciously took it, and forgot about the reprimand for a while.

Mingyuexi stepped forward calmly, her face full of sincerity: "Niangniang might as well open it now, if there is anything inappropriate, I will modify it for Niangniang." ”

The concubine wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and opened the package.

The moment she opened it, the soft fabric immediately slipped out of her hand, and hung obediently in the air, feeling like a girl's smooth and natural skin, shy and timidly waiting for people's pity.

"This is ......" The concubine couldn't help but take it out, and there was an exclamation at the bottom, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the exquisite embroidery, lingering on it.

The skirt itself is extremely exquisite, and looking at the amazed eyes of everyone below, the vanity of the concubine was suddenly satisfied, and she couldn't put it down.

"This is a dress made on the Houfu cloth village, what do you think?"

Mingyuexi spoke up again, the light smile on her face made people look like a spring breeze, all of this was expected by her, and the Weaver Girl's craftsmanship could shock a wave of mortals if she took it out casually.

The concubine subconsciously nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly remembered her purpose, and her face sank again.

"Clothes are good, but there should be a number of courtesies."
