Chapter 83: Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet
Zhu Siqian's eyes rolled, then she sneered and said, "Speaking of which, my sister has a good candidate." ”
"Oh? Tell me about it? Zhu Sinong sneered.
"Sister, do you know that there is a concubine named An Lingqing in Anfu?" Zhu Siqian smiled maliciously.
When Zhu Sinong heard this name, he vaguely felt familiar, but Mama Xue on the side suddenly reminded her: "Niangniang, this person is the concubine who rebelled against your will that day!" ”
Zhu Sinong listened to Mama Xue's reminder, and then thought about it, and then a touch of contempt flashed on his face: "This person doesn't understand the rules and rushed into the palace, but he has no brains." ”
Zhu Siqian smiled sinisterly: "It is precisely because this person has no brains that he can be easily used by us, so as not to be traced down and ruin my sister's reputation when the time comes, wouldn't it be great if this person could be convicted?" ”
Zhu Sinong narrowed his eyes and nodded with satisfaction: "Sure enough, Qian'er understands the thoughts of this palace." ”
"Mama Xue, if you go to pass on the will of the palace, you will say that the palace has granted Miss Ansi's request to enter the palace, and please be present on the day of the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet!" Zhu Sinong hurriedly couldn't wait to give his will.
"Yes, the minion is going!" Mama Xue answered, and without a moment's delay, she turned around and went to pass the word.
……
"Really? Did the concubine really allow me to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet? An Lingqing smiled happily, and her whole face was about to smile like a flower.
"How can the edict of the concubine Niangniang be fake? You haven't thanked the concubine for her grace? Mama Xue said proudly.
An Lingqing didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him: "Thank you for your grace!" ”
"Mama Xue go slowly, I'll see you off in person!" An Lingqing thought of pleasing Mama Xue at this time, and watched the palace sedan disappear around the corner, and then returned to the house with a proud face.
"Go, report this matter to my father and grandmother, and say that the concubine has promised to let me enter the palace for a dinner." An Lingqing was overjoyed.
The maid Biluo was stunned for a moment, and said worriedly: "Miss, let's keep a low profile in this matter, lest Mrs. Liu will look at you unpleasantly after hearing it." ”
An Lingqing pursed her lips and said unhappily: "What if she knows?" Now that her father is estranged from her, Miss Ben just wants her to know that even without her, Miss Ben can still thrive. ”
As long as he thought that he could meet King Zhao again when he entered the palace, An Lingqing was so excited that he couldn't care about anything, this time...... She said that she couldn't let Xun Zhi take the lead anymore.
……
Not long after Chunxiang Pavilion received the news that An Lingqing was invited to the palace, Han Yunju followed up and received the news.
Xun Xuan was copying a landscape painting with a paintbrush, and after getting the news, the paintbrush in his hand couldn't help but pause: "No wonder I went out that day and met An Xuehan and Zhu Siqian, I felt that something was wrong, it turned out that An Lingqing wanted to use An Xuehan's relationship to climb Zhu Siqian's path." ”
Qi Yin twisted her eyebrows, and vaguely felt that something was wrong: "But Zhu Siqian doesn't regard Miss Fourth as a close friend, how can she be kind enough to help her?" ”
"So, there's something behind this," Xun Xuan was halfway through copying, and suddenly stopped, her eyes couldn't help but deepen a little, "Concubine Zhu is not such a kind person." ”
When Qu You heard this, he suddenly became nervous: "Does Miss think that Concubine Zhu has the intention to harm Miss Ansi?" ”
Xun Xuan knew very well in her heart that the person Zhu Sinong wanted to deal with was clearly her, but if the matter was revealed, An Lingqing would inevitably become the first scapegoat.
"Right and wrong, it's all in Miss Fourth herself, if she makes a mistake, no one can save her." Xun Xuan's face was calm, without the slightest excess emotion.
If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, as long as An Lingqing doesn't provoke her, she will naturally not care about An Lingqing's idle affairs.
……
Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, after noon, there were many more guards at the gate of the forbidden palace, and the carriages of the nobles and high-ranking officials and marquis blocked in front of the gate of the forbidden palace.
A lot of young ladies from Anfu came, An Yixin and Mrs. Xing rode in the same carriage, Xun Xuan was in the same car as An Anyue, An Lingqing and An Xuehan together, Liu Shi was not cured due to illness, and he made the matter clear to Concubine Zhu.
But in fact, the main reason was that Liu's hair was burned, and An Sheng was afraid that she would run out and be embarrassed, making his face dull, so he privately helped Liu's hand over the illness to the palace.
Fortunately, several young ladies from Anfu have come, and An Sheng can be regarded as having a long face.
When the carriage of the lady of Anfu came to a long distance from the gate of the forbidden palace, the carriage could not move forward, and the front and back were blocked very badly, although the guards were sent in front of the palace gate, but the effect of dredging was not ideal.
Unfortunately, Xun Xuan and Anxinyue's carriage was the last one in the Anfu carriage, and the Zhufu carriage followed closely behind.
"What thing that doesn't know what is good or bad dares to stand in the way of Miss Ben?" Zhu Siqian's impatient abuse could be heard from a distance.
An Xinyue's heart fluttered when she heard this, and she hurriedly looked at Xun Xuan worriedly: "I heard that the second lady of this Zhufu is very unreasonable and arrogant, we are in her way, she won't embarrass us in public, right?" ”
"It's not impossible." Xun Xuan smiled and said lightly.
"Huh? So what do we do? Let's hurry up and tell my grandmother! Anxin Yue said uneasily.
"If the road is blocked, it will be passed that my grandmother will not be able to pass, so don't let her old man worry about it." Xun Xuan glanced at the carriage of Mrs. Xing who was walking in the front, and there were several carriages between it and their carriage, and the distance was already very far.
"How is that good? This second miss of the Zhu family is a ruthless character, we can't afford to mess with it! Anxin Yue worried.
"Big cousin, don't be impatient, wait and see, maybe it will be fine for a while." Xun Xuan comforted as she turned her head to open the carriage curtain and looked around.
She originally wanted to see whose carriage was next to her, but she didn't want to meet Wang, the wife of Zuo Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The two glanced at each other, and Xun Xuan hurriedly threw a polite smile at Wang.
Wang also smiled back.
Unexpectedly, the Wang family was also blocked on the road with them.
The carriage moved very slowly, like an ant, and when it reached the back, it did not move at all.
Zhu Siqian was completely angry, and after shouting in the back for a while, she obviously couldn't vent her inner irritability, so she simply jumped out of the carriage regardless of the obstruction of her subordinates and walked towards the carriage in front.
"Second Miss, don't, Madame has told me a thousand times, you must not cause trouble today!" The subordinate hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.
Zhu Siqian was so angry that she directly overthrew her subordinates to the ground: "Madam is not around, what qualifications do you have to manage Miss Ben with your dog slave?" ”
After saying that, Zhu Siqian rushed to Xun Xuan and Wang's carriage without looking back, and kicked the legs of the two carriages with her foot.
The horse was frightened and almost rushed out, but fortunately, the two coachmen had some experience, so they hurriedly calmed the horse again.
However, the man sitting in the carriage was frightened and could no longer sit still.
"Big cousin, you get in the car first, and I'll deal with it." Xun Xuan comforted An Xinyue, then turned around and walked out of the carriage.
When Zhu Siqian saw Xun Xuan, she suddenly became even more angry: "I said which dog blocked Miss Ben's way, but it turned out to be you, the abandoned dog!" ”
"Miss Zhu, I'm really sorry to block your way, but with the current situation, this road is blocked, even if you are in a hurry to abuse, it will not help." Xun Xuan did not forget to be courteous and polite in front of others.
"Miss Ben is going to see Sister Guifei in a hurry, how can you people get in the way, why don't you get out of the way of Miss Ben?" Zhu Siqian said arrogantly.
Xun Xuan glanced around: "This road is blocked, it's not that we don't want to move Miss Zhu, it's really ...... I have a weak heart. ”
"That's your business, what does it have to do with me? If you really can't do it, then find someone to dismantle the carriage! It's a shame that Zhu Siqian can even say such things.
Xun Xuan couldn't help but chuckle, it seemed that the smile was ordinary, but in fact, her eyes were full of mockery: "It's really the first time that Ah Zhi has heard that the carriage will be dismantled if the road is impassable, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" Could it be that Miss Zhu is planning to dismantle all the carriages on this road? ”
"Miss Ben is glad! What's the point of demolishing it? My sister is the concubine of today, I see which of you dares to be disobedient! Zhu Siqian said evilly.
At this moment, the Wang family in the carriage on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and finally got off the carriage.
"What presumptuous! I have always heard that Zhu Taishi is full of economy and strict family education, and the women in the house think that they are knowledgeable and understand the importance of things, but I didn't expect that today it really taught me an eye-opener, which is really unreasonable! ”
When Zhu Siqian saw the woman's sharp words and serious eyes, she was a little afraid of her for a while, but with so many people around, she had to be bold: "Who are you?" It's you and Xun Zhi, a little slut, who are blocking my way together, and now they are still uniting and bullying me! ”
"Miss Zhu Shenyan, when did I join forces with Mrs. Wang to bully you?" Xun Xuan immediately retorted.
"I see, it's clear that there are some people who use the power of the dog, the fox and the tiger, and use the prestige of the concubine to suppress us powerless people." Wang sneered.
"You...... Who do you say? Zhu Siqian gritted her teeth angrily, couldn't help but roared angrily, and was about to go up to teach the Wang family a lesson.
Xun Xuan walked up quickly, blocked in front of the Wang family, and became entangled with Zhu Siqian.
"Miss Zhu, what are you doing? Is it difficult to beat people? Xun Xuan asked confidently, but this sentence attracted the attention of many people around her.
Even King Zhao, who had been following him, was shocked, Jing Ying, who was sitting in the carriage, raised his eyebrows slightly, listening to the familiar voice in the quarrel, he couldn't help but feel a little more interested in his heart, and casually ordered Yin Chen: "Go and see, what's the situation ahead?" ”
