Chapter 291: Whispering
One is a dignified imperial concubine, and the other is a noble lady, if there is a discord, some of them are lively, and everyone is waiting to see this good show.
Su Jinzhao came to watch the play, how could he let others see his jokes, a woman who recklessly spoke and didn't know the importance of her speech, it was not worth her to do this, and she was tongue-in-cheek.
She picked up the teacup, slowly opened the teacup and brushed the tea foam, and drank the tea by herself.
Yan Xue saw that Su Jinzhao no longer cared about herself, she was already angry in her heart, but she was even more angry at the moment, and the anger on her face couldn't be more obvious.
When everyone saw this scene, they didn't dare to speak out easily for a while, lest they be as reckless as Pan Yuelian and make a mistake by speaking without knowing the severity of their words.
Concubine Ru's eyes flashed, she glanced at Su Jinzhao, who was drinking tea leisurely at the moment, and said loudly: "Seeing that it's time for dinner, let's talk while eating."
After a few moments, the palace maids put the meal on the table.
Looking at the rich delicacies in front of him, Jin Zhao looked at what was not quite right, and after a closer look, he suddenly understood something.
Today, Concubine Ru held a banquet, and there were many compliments among them, just to show their faces in front of Concubine Ru, so as to make a good impression.
Xu Manying said: "I have always heard that the craftsmanship of the imperial chef in the palace is a must, I am used to eating home-cooked food on weekdays, and today I am fortunate to be invited by my mother.
Compared with Pan Yuelian's previous recklessness, Xu Manying is much more decent.
Concubine Ru smiled and said: "Eating the Buddha in the Japanese palace has not been stained with meat for a few days, and I don't know which mouthy person has made a premise on the saint, so the saint instructed the cook in the imperial dining room to make some vegetarian dishes, such as this steamed fish, which is actually made of tofu, but it looks like a fish." This palace thinks that these dishes are well done, so I invite you to come and try them, but I don't know if they are to your taste. ”
As she expected, Jin Zhao looked at something wrong at the beginning, and heard this, just as she guessed.
After Xu Manying heard this, she immediately said: "No wonder, if Niangniang doesn't say that these dishes are vegetarian, I really can't see it, I am used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas on weekdays, and it is better to eat some vegetarian food, or Niangniang is thoughtful."
Pan Yuelian on the side was anxious when she heard it, she wanted to find a chance to talk several times, and took the opportunity to be familiar in front of Concubine Ru, but Xu Manying didn't give her a chance as if she was accurate.
Pan Yuelian's teeth are itchy, and she really underestimates Xu Manying on weekdays. If it weren't for the recklessness and indiscretion that he said nonsense before, it would be Xu Manying's turn to speak at this moment.
The anxious Pan Yuelian looked at Yan Xue beside her, leaned in, pointed at Xu Manying with her eyes, and whispered to her: "Sister Yan, look at her smug face, it's just a few words with Concubine Ru Niangniang, look at her happy, but I don't know which one of the people here can compare to Sister Yan, not to mention the identity of the old granddaughter of the court, just say that the name of the first talented woman in Kyoto, I am afraid that I don't know how many famous noble girls will be compared." What about the granddaughter of a scholar, in my opinion, she is not even half of Sister Yan's. ”
These words sounded like they were praising Yan Xue on the surface, but in fact, they just wanted Yan Xue to suppress Xu Manying's momentum. Can't let her out of the limelight today, Pan Yuelian is naturally unwilling.
Unfortunately, Pan Yuelian's wishful thinking was wrong. Yan Xue's heart was on Yu Wenyu, knowing that Concubine Ru had other plans to hold this banquet today, how could she accompany these stupid people to mess around.
Yan Xue said to her: "You haven't forgotten what happened just now, and if you let someone catch the handle, even if I have the heart to help you, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Hearing this, Pan Yuelian's expression changed suddenly, and she remembered that Yan Xue had spoken for herself before, and hurriedly said to her: "What Sister Yan said is that I was abrupt, and I still have time to thank you for helping me speak."
In the scene just now, everyone else was like a dumb person, watching it, but no one helped her speak, so Yan Xue had to speak, otherwise she didn't know what the situation was at the moment. If she thinks about it, she blames herself, she has nothing to do to find trouble with Su Jinzhao, after all, she is the imperial concubine, in case it reaches the point of being out of control, how can it be good.
But I don't know that Yan Xue is also selfish in helping Pan Yuelian, just because the other party is Su Jinzhao, and today she has become a bystander, so she will not say a word as much as others like, let alone think about helping Pan Yuelian, who has no brains and will only cause trouble. To put it bluntly, she just can't get used to Su Jinzhao, if it weren't for her appearance, how could the three princes go to the saint to marry, and the candidate for the three princes is obviously her.
Yan Xue clenched her fists tightly and said slowly: "You don't have to thank me, I can't get used to it." Now that she has become the imperial concubine, her identity is not as good as before, just don't provoke it, so as not to be angry, it's not worth it. ”
Pan Yuelian has been a person who can't stand half of the grievances since she was a child, and the more Yan Xue said this, it was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
Pan Yuelian snorted coldly, and said very disdainfully: "Sister Yan, here is the best for you, for so many years, what kind of affection you have for the third prince, who of us intimate sisters doesn't know, but if Su Jinzhao is an interesting person, he won't think about marrying the third prince, which shows how much he wants to marry into the heavenly family in his bones." If you want me to say, the position of the third princess should have been yours, but now all this has been robbed by Su Jinzhao, Yan Xue, you can be regarded as good-tempered, if it were me, I wouldn't give her half a good look. After a pause, he continued, "When she was disfigured, I thought it was retribution, how many men in this world will face an ugly person every day, thinking that after a while, the third prince must be bored with her, and then Su Jinzhao will have a hard life, but I didn't expect that it would take long for her to recover her appearance, God is really unfair, I will call you grievances for Sister Yan, and let her take up all the good things." Sister Yan is naturally beautiful, and she should have the destiny to marry into the heavenly family. ”
Hearing this, Yan Xue, who had originally calmed down, couldn't calm down at the moment. She nodded thoughtfully and said, "What you said is that you really can't let her take advantage of all the good things."
When she said this, Yan Xue suddenly had a thought.
It should be hers, and no one else wants to take it. The sore spot that Su Jinzhao added to her, she will definitely return it to the other party tenfold.
When Pan Yuelian heard this, she was stunned for a moment, Yan Xue in front of her seemed to be different from what she knew, she eased her mind and said, "Sister Yan, are you okay?"
Sister Yan didn't look at her, and the corners of her mouth floated with an incomprehensible meaning: "What can I do?"
She thought to herself that instead of megging in other people's affairs, she should take care of her own business first.
