Chapter 436: Three Women, One Play
To be honest, Zhong Xiaoshu's first thought when he heard this voice was to run away.
But she didn't do that, she just looked at the person in front of her with a cold face, "I should ask you, right?" What are you doing here? ”
I saw Ning Shuyan smiling delicately, "I was invited by the Ninth Princess, and the Ninth Princess and I have been confidants for a long time." ”
Bosom friend?
Zhong Xiaoshu, who heard these two words, raised her eyebrows, how did Ning Shuyan say this embarrassedly?
But the fact that she can be here today shows that half of her is still not lying, Zhong Xiaoshu coughed, "What about the princess?" Have you come here to inform the princess? ”
"This ...... I, I said it. "Ning Shuyan's momentum is obviously insufficient.
"Still lying? You are a concubine, and you ran to the palace without saying a word, and you didn't have to report to your mother? I said Ning Shuyan, are you used to doing this kind of thing, so you don't care? ”
Zhong Xiaoshu's voice was not loud, and it did not attract the attention of others, but Ning Shuyan shrank her neck as soon as she heard this, and looked at her aggrievedly.
"Imperial Princess, if you think it's inappropriate, just say it to the princess, Xin'er has no opinion, but the princess, you are so aggressive, it really scares Xin'er."
Zhong Xiaoshu rolled his eyes, and just wanted to say why he didn't scare you to death, when he heard a snarky voice next to him, "Yo, isn't this the imperial concubine who has been very favored recently, I thought you wouldn't come." ”
What caught my eye was a woman dressed in flowers, wearing red and green, and she almost didn't catch Zhong Xiaoshu's eyes.
She looked at her silently, searching in her heart for who this person was.
But she didn't come up with a reason after thinking about it for a long time, but the person opposite was unhappy at first, "Ouch, such a big shelf?" It's not just a newcomer, sisters, come and see, the princess and us are different. ”
Zhong Xiaoshu, who heard the sharp voice, wanted to jump up and hit someone, she calmed down and calmly looked at the woman in front of her.
If I'm not mistaken, she is the fourth princess, she is famous for making trouble, she looks more Kefu, and the fourth prince has basically been lying in bed since she married her.
So much so that the four princes have never accepted concubines, unlike those in other people's palaces, everyone has them every day.
"Isn't it? I don't think the princess is very easy to talk, isn't it? "It's the third princess who said this, and she is good at making peace, but every time she can't do anything.
"Yes, yes." The six imperial concubines who nodded followed were not very old, and their favorite was the grass on the wall.
"I don't think so." The last thing I said was the second princess, who has always been resolute and resolute in everything she does, and she is very executive.
Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoshu glanced at the second imperial concubine appreciatively, and finally someone she was interested in appeared.
"Sisters, I'm not a princess, and my father-in-law didn't recognize my ancestors, so I'm just a peasant woman at most." Zhong Xiaoshu naturally didn't want to admit his identity on such an occasion.
You must know that none of these women are good at stubble, Zhong Xiaoshu has not visited them since he entered the palace, and he is afraid of such a scene today.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhong Xiaoshu also stood generously, looking completely fearless.
"Peasant woman? That's not what the outside said, and the princess is a little too exaggerated. The first one to speak was the second imperial concubine, she had a cold face, and what she said was clear.
These two princesses are also famous and are not afraid of causing trouble, after all, her father is the prime minister, and the prime minister is now the hottest second prince except Yin Zhige, and he still has the right to speak.
"I've seen the second imperial concubine, what I said is true, as for saying that I put up a fight, I don't admit it." Zhong Xiaoshu looked at the second imperial concubine with a smile.
As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, no matter how much the second princess wants to quarrel with her, she has nothing to say.
At this time, the ninth princess, who had been sitting in the house in obscurity, came out, she wore a green coat and was dressed very plainly.
"What are you talking about? This meal is ready, don't you feel hungry when you stand here, sisters and sisters? The voice of the ninth princess does not match herself, it is soft and glutinous, and it doesn't sound like a deterrent.
But surprisingly, after hearing her words, everyone obediently went to the house.
Zhong Xiaoshu raised her eyebrows, why did she think this banquet was very interesting?
After taking a seat, Zhong Xiaoshu chose a place farthest away from the crowd, although it was troublesome to pick up vegetables, she really didn't want to deal with those individuals.
I saw that the fourth imperial concubine opened her mouth at this time, "This is sitting so far, why don't you just go and sit at a table with the maid?" ”
Zhong Xiaoshu naturally knew that she was talking about her, but looking at the place that originally belonged to her, but now it was Ning Shuyan who was sitting, she couldn't deny that she had a chopstick dish, and she couldn't hear it.
And Ning Shuyan in front of her was sitting in the imperial concubine's pile, although some people didn't like it and thought she had broken the rules, but she also looked respectful and pitiful, and it was difficult to say anything to see people.
The meal is tasteless, Zhong Xiaoshu originally wanted to come to eat, but he didn't think that the princess's food was not particularly delicious, so it could only be said that it was worse than the emperor's.
After eating in a blink of an eye, everyone went to the courtyard, and after walking, there were only the ninth princess and Zhong Xiaoshu left, Zhong Xiaoshu swallowed the last mouthful of soup, and just about to get up, he heard the sound of the ninth princess coughing.
Yes, it seems that today is really a Hongmen banquet.
"If the ninth princess is infected with the wind and cold, she should rest more." Zhong Xiaoshu said politely.
"I said sister, there are only two of us left here, and I don't want to beat around the bush with you, let's go into the house and talk." The ninth princess looked at Zhong Xiaoshu with a smile and made a gesture to invite her into the house.
This Zhong Xiaoshu saw that everyone got up, no matter how much she didn't want to, she could only follow her, muttering in her heart that if she had known that this was the case, she wouldn't come, wouldn't this obviously add to her own blockage?
In the courtyard at the other end, Ning Shuyan sat among the various imperial concubines, and said dejectedly, "Sisters, although I am only a concubine of the palace, but last time I met the ninth princess because of a jade bracelet, so I can come today, and please sisters don't alienate me because of my identity." ”
Ning Shuyan's words immediately aroused sympathy for everyone present.
"How can we, we are not unreasonable people, but when we encounter that kind of arrogance, we will occasionally say a word or two."
"Yes, my status is not high, and my sisters have not looked down on me."
"You don't have to worry, we are never people with low eyes, as long as you go well, we will naturally not say that we will embarrass you or anything."
