Chapter 503: Concubine Wen finds fault
"You!" The fourth imperial concubine was blocked by her words, and suddenly turned her head away with a gloomy face.
This banquet was destined to end unhappily, and the banquet was not over yet, so Zhong Xiaoshu couldn't bear to find a reason to leave.
It also doesn't care if others don't know whether it's true or false.
Zhong Xiaoshu walked back to his residence with a bad face.
The footsteps were a little hurried because I couldn't wait to get out of here.
Behind her, Qing'er, who followed her to the banquet, looked a little apprehensive, and couldn't help but catch up with Zhong Xiaoshu and ask.
"Crown Princess, if we come out like this, nothing will happen, right?"
Zhong Xiaoshu thought of those people just now, and felt a little impatient in his heart.
But Qing'er is innocent, and she answers her patiently.
"What can it be, I'm the crown princess, can't I even leave the banquet early?"
But even with restraint, her irritability revealed a bit from her tone.
Qing'er was suddenly silent, and she didn't dare to say it.
Zhong Xiaoshu rarely has a bad mood, and it is the first time Qing'er has seen it like this.
Although Zhong Xiaoshu had the upper hand at the banquet just now, no one would be in a good mood if he was ridiculed like that.
Zhong Xiaoshu probably also realized that her tone was not good, and after a pause, she added: "I'm not targeting you." ”
Looking at Qing'er's panicked expression, Zhong Xiaoshu pursed his lips, stopped talking a few times, and finally didn't say anything.
And after Qing'er heard Zhong Xiaoshu's explanation, she didn't necessarily relax a little, lowered her head in a proper manner, and didn't dare to say a word.
Zhong Xiaoshu took a few deep breaths, and was about to say something, when a sudden voice interrupted her: "Ah! I didn't expect to meet the crown princess here. ”
Zhong Xiaoshu frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice.
- It turned out to be Concubine Wen.
When he saw Concubine Wen, Zhong Xiaoshu really couldn't react.
Because she and Concubine Wen didn't have much intersection, but at this time, Concubine Wen looked at her and asked enthusiastically.
"Where did the crown princess just come back? How? Is something bad happening? It doesn't seem like you're in a good mood. ”
After Concubine Wen's words, Zhong Xiaoshu's brows furrowed more and more.
According to her relationship with Concubine Wen, Concubine Wen was really inexplicable when she said these words.
However, Concubine Wen is also the emperor's concubine, and Zhong Xiaoshu is not too faceless.
So although she felt strange, she still pulled out a smile that was not salty and light, and made a salute according to the rules.
"I've seen Concubine Wen."
Zhong Xiaoshu paused slightly and then added another sentence.
"It's a coincidence."
As for Concubine Wen's other questions, Zhong Xiaoshu selectively ignored it and did not answer.
Concubine Wen didn't care, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhong Xiaoshu, who was saluting, and said with a smile: "How can the crown princess be so polite." ”
Zhong Xiaoshu smiled silently.
She really had nothing to say, and the number of times he and Concubine Wen had met could be counted on one hand.
This is the first time the two of them have chatted like this in private.
As if she didn't see Zhong Xiaoshu's coldness, Concubine Wen smiled again.
"Where is the crown princess going? The palace of the main palace is not far from here, if you are okay, why don't you go and sit there for a while? ”
Regarding Concubine Wen's behavior, Zhong Xiaoshu became more and more strange-
Concubine Wen's attitude towards her is not like the current relationship between the two people, but like an old friend who has not seen each other for a long time, which is really weird.
But thinking like this in his heart, Zhong Xiaoshu didn't show it at all, smiled euphemistically, and said something of refusal.
"Concubine Wen, I'm sorry, didn't something happen to me in the palace?
I'm going to go back to deal with it, but I'm in a hurry now, so I won't go to your palace, let's go another day. ”
As for when this new day is, Zhong Xiaoshu did not mention it at all.
Of course, what happened in Zhong Xiaoshu's mouth was just a pretext.
I don't know if Concubine Wen can see it, the smile on her face is still the same as just now.
I don't know if it's true or not, and there is a little regret in my smile.
"That's a pity, there are a lot of snacks prepared in the main palace today.
But since there is something, it is not easy for the palace to keep the princess, so the princess should leave quickly, it is important to deal with things. ”
Concubine Wen looked understanding, Zhong Xiaoshu was not polite, nodded neatly, and immediately said goodbye to Concubine Wen.
"I'm really embarrassed to disappoint Concubine Wen's wishes, but this matter is a bit urgent...... Concubine Wen, then I'll leave first. ”
Concubine Wen nodded and said with a smile: "What's so embarrassing about this, it's important to deal with things, and you can eat dim sum at any time." ”
At this point, Zhong Xiaoshu didn't say anything, saluted Concubine Wen again, and then walked towards the palace with the silent maid behind her.
After Concubine Wen's interruption just now, Zhong Xiaoshu's irritability in his heart was also a lot less, his steps were brisk, and he returned to the palace after a while.
When Zhong Xiaoshu arrived in the palace, Yin Zhige finally came back, and he was in the study at this time, Zhong Xiaoshu heard that the palace people at the door mentioned that Yin Zhige was there, so he walked straight to the direction of the study.
"Why did you come back so early?"
In the study, Yin Zhige looked at Zhong Xiaoshu's figure walking into the study, and asked in surprise.
When Zhong Xiaoshu went to the banquet, Yin Zhige specially asked the palace maid when the banquet ended.
It stands to reason that the banquet is not over at this time, and it is obviously wrong for Zhong Xiaoshu to come back so early.
Zhong Xiaoshu shook her head, she had no intention of telling Yin Zhige what happened at the banquet.
She walked over to Yin Zhige and sat down, and said lightly: "It's nothing, I just think the banquet is really boring, so I came back early." ”
But Yin Zhige knew Zhong Xiaoshu so well, how could he not see Zhong Xiaoshu's thoughts.
But he didn't say it, and if he really wanted to know, he would go back and look it up.
If I had said it in front of her now, maybe she would have felt even harder.
So he smiled and didn't expose Zhong Xiaoshu: "Those banquets are really boring. ”
Zhong Xiaoshu said "um", she didn't want to continue to talk about this topic.
He looked at the book that Yin Zhige put on the table, and asked with some puzzlement: "Are you okay today?" How did you get back? ”
Since Yin Zhige returned to Xichuan, it has been a long time since he came back so early.
Yin Zhige lowered his head, not knowing what he thought, the smile on his face was a little helpless, and he gently hugged Zhong Xiaoshu into his arms.
"I haven't been with you well in the recent past."
Yin Zhige smiled.
"So I took care of the matter yesterday and took the time to accompany you today, and it just so happened that you came back from the banquet so early today, is it considered to be a good idea?"
She knew that Yin Zhige was busy, so even during this time, Yin Zhige rarely accompanied her.
She never complained, but she didn't expect Yin Zhige to notice it.
At this moment, Zhong Xiaoshu was suddenly relieved.
What do others say about her, she is only here for Yin Zhige.
As long as she has him by her side, why should she care so much.
