Chapter 288: Going to the Banquet

Jin Zhao got up and walked up to Qiao Ci, patted her hand, and said, "Since people have personally sent everything over, if they return it, won't it be a loss of face for others, in the end, it is a piece of Qingfeng's heart, or accept it."

"Miss......" Qiaoci still seemed to be a little hesitant and didn't take the hairpin.

Jin Zhao looked at this scene, his eyes flashed, so he said: "That's it, since you don't feel the breeze, this hairpin will be returned for you by me, the master." As he spoke, he instructed Qingwen to give her the hairpin.

Seeing this, Qiaoci was afraid that the eldest lady would really do this, so she hurriedly stopped for a while: "Miss, if you really go, wouldn't his thin-skinned person really be embarrassed, this hairpin, the slave maid will accept it."

Saying that, Qiao Ci took the initiative to pick up the hairpin in Qingwen's hand.

The corners of Jin Zhao's mouth pulled up a smile: "That's right, Qingfeng is still a good person, I want to get along with him more in the future, if you really become a couple, and you have to rely on it for the rest of your life, I will be relieved to be the master."

Qiao Ci lowered her head embarrassedly when she heard this, and said softly: "It's not clear what will happen in the future, whether the eldest lady said it too early."

Jin Zhao nodded, it was true, she was also happy for a while before she said something urgent. Between Qingwen and her brother next door who was a childhood sweetheart, it was only a matter of time, if Qiaoci and Qingfeng could make it, the big stone in her heart would also fall.

Jin Zhao smiled and said: "It's true that I'm in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, after all, it's a lifelong event, let's wait and see, I, the master, will take good care of you when the time comes, don't be sloppy."

When Qiao Ci heard this, her face turned red with shame, and so did Qingwen on the side.

Jin Zhao looks in a very good mood today.

Qiao Ci saw it in her eyes, and suddenly thought of something, so she asked: "What place did the three princes take you to do today, seeing that the young lady seemed to be in a good mood when she came back, she must have gone to some good place."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Zhao paused for a moment, glanced at Qiao Ci, and said, "Don't guess, in fact, you haven't visited many places, but you just took me to see the lotus."

Hearing this, Qiao Ci didn't seem to believe it: "Is it just like this?"

Qingwen also echoed.

Between the words, it seems that there is still some suspicion.

was asked by the two maids, but Jin Zhao turned to other topics at the moment: "Okay, don't be curious, there's nothing to ask." However, the scenery of that place is good, if you want to go, I can bring you with me next time, which can be regarded as satisfying your curiosity. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Ci immediately said: "The slaves and maids will not go, it is you and the third prince who went, and it is not suitable for the slaves and maids to go."

Seeing the two maids laughing so weirdly, Jin Zhao suddenly understood something in his heart, and thought to himself, what could be inappropriate. couldn't help but patted Qiaoci's shoulder and said, "Okay, who did you two learn from, and you even joked with your master, looking for a fight."

As he spoke, Jin Zhao was about to make a move, but the two maids dodged quickly when they saw this.

While talking, Xiumo came and went back and forth.

Jin Zhao asked people to come into the house and reply.

Xiumo replied: "In the palace, the concubine Niangniang sent someone to send an invitation, saying that she would invite the imperial concubine to the palace for a gathering tomorrow, and the third prince instructed the slave maid to hand over the invitation to the imperial concubine, go or not, and let the imperial concubine make her own decision."

Jin Zhao took the invitation, glanced at it slightly, paused, and asked, "The third prince told you to come over, can you say anything else?"

Xiumo shook his head and replied: "The third prince didn't say anything else, but only ordered the slave maid to come over and transfer the invitation to the imperial concubine, saying that it was according to the imperial concubine's wishes."

According to her own will?

Jin Zhao thought to himself for a moment before saying to Xiumo: "I know what you said, you go and tell the third prince, just say that I will go to the palace for a banquet tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, Xiumo seemed a little surprised.

Seeing that Xiumo was stunned and didn't make a sound, Qiaoci on the side spoke up: "What's the matter, can't you ask the imperial concubine to repeat it again?"

Xiumo hurriedly came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "The slave maid is going to return to the third prince."

After saying that, he bowed and left the house.

After the people left, Qiao Ci said worriedly: "Miss, do you really plan to go to this banquet?"

Qiaoci's words revealed worry, such as the concubine's personality, the two maids more or less understood, saying that it was a banquet, but I was afraid that it was a Hongmen banquet, since this was the case, it was better not to go.

Jin Zhao shook his head and said: "Everyone has already personally sent people to the house, if I refuse, wouldn't it be a matter of words, besides, the palace has been back and forth many times, and it is not the first time to enter the palace, even if it is a favored concubine, can it still do anything to me." There is really no reason not to go to this banquet. ”

Jin Zhao decided to do so, and Qiao Ci didn't say anything more, so he said, "Since the young lady has made up her mind that she has to go, then the slaves and maids will accompany you."

She felt that if something happened, she and Qingwen would be able to adapt at that time, and they couldn't let the eldest lady go to this Hongmen banquet alone.

Jin Zhao nodded and said, "It's okay, it's best to have you together, but." said, the words changed, "There are many rules in the palace, this time if the concubine holds this banquet, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, you must be cautious at that time, and you must not act recklessly, especially Qingwen, you must not be impulsive on weekdays, this time with me, you must pay more attention to words and deeds, and you must also grasp the proportions of your speech, what you shouldn't say, don't say half a word, let people catch the handle, it's not good." ”

Jin Zhao felt that it was not a good thing for Concubine Ru to hold this banquet this time, and she was inevitably a little worried.

After hearing this, Qingwen replied: "Don't worry, the slave should be careful and don't cause trouble to the eldest lady."

That's for the best.

The night is getting cooler.

Thinking that he was going to enter the palace tomorrow, Jin Zhao was always a little uneasy in his heart, although it was late at night, he was not sleepy at the moment, and he sat alone on the collapse in a daze.

Tomorrow's banquet, I don't know who Concubine Ru invited over, will there be anyone she knows, or someone she doesn't know? Moreover, what is the intention of the concubine to hold this banquet in a good manner, she has not yet known, since she has invited her, presumably the identity of the people who participated in the banquet is not an ordinary person.

She felt that this banquet was not as simple as she imagined, and she always felt that it was not a good thing. Or maybe she's thinking too much.

Just thinking about it, at this time, Yu Wenyu pushed the door and came in.

He saw Jin Zhao who had not yet fallen asleep at a glance, and saw her sitting alone in the room in a daze, and walked towards her.

"Why haven't you slept so late?" While talking, he took a cloak and put it on her, lest she sit for a long time and catch the cold and get sick.

Jin Zhao raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "It's not too late, it's just that I can't sleep right now."

You can't sleep until you have something in your heart.

Yu Wenyu asked, "I heard the maid in the palace say that you are going to enter the palace tomorrow, but are you thinking about entering the palace tomorrow?" After a pause, he added, "If you don't want to go, I'll refuse for you." ”

Originally, he had this idea, but after all, the person invited by Concubine Ru was Jin Zhao, if he refused without authorization, and let her know afterwards, he would feel uncomfortable.

She always didn't like others to decide for her, and he didn't want to feel that he didn't respect her enough because of this matter, and he didn't want to have a dislike between the two, so he told the maid to send the invitation and let her make up her own mind. But he didn't expect that she actually agreed, did she forget what she said to her during the day? Or did she not listen to those words?

Hearing Yu Wenyu's words, Jin Zhao said to him: "If Concubine Ru personally sent someone to the house to send an invitation, if she resigned, it would inevitably fall into her mouth, she was the favored concubine of the harem, if she refused directly, she couldn't hold her face." Besides, as you have said, she is not a generous person, and if this matter makes her unhappy, she does not know what to do in the future. ”

Yu Wenyu frowned slightly and said, "What, are you afraid of her?" The Su Jinzhao I know will never back down because of something, or do you really care about her? ”

I didn't hesitate to reject her at the beginning, but now I am worried. Or is it that the Su Jinzhao he knows is not what he imagined.

Jin Zhao smiled and said: "I'm not all for myself, if I make her hold a grudge, with her temperament, it's hard to guarantee that she won't do anything embarrassing, if that's the case, I don't want to see such a day." It's just a trip to the palace, and it's not that you can't come back. Even if she is the most favored concubine in the harem, she cannot detain the imperial concubine. ”

Jin Zhao felt that as long as she was careful at that time, she would not let the other party catch anything wrong.

Yu Wenyu saw that she had made up her mind, and said, "Why don't I go with you tomorrow."

After all, he was not at ease in his heart, and he couldn't be clearer about what kind of person a concubine was.

Hearing him say this, Jin Zhao was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while.

When she came back to her senses, she said: "I'm not a child, if the concubine only invited me, most of the people who want to come and go are some female dependents, if the third prince goes with him, what will it count." As she spoke, she changed her words, "Is the third prince worried about me going, or is he not confident in me?" ”

It is both uneasy and worried.

If the concubine has been in the harem for many years, if she didn't have some means and strategies, she was afraid that she would have died in the struggle of the harem.

is good to invite Jin Zhao into the palace for a banquet, no matter how you look at this matter, nothing is right. The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, seeing that Jin Zhao couldn't sleep for this matter at night, he hesitated in his heart, and wanted to take the opportunity to persuade him, so as to dispel the idea of going to the banquet, but seeing that she had made up her mind, he had to respect her decision and let her go.

Yu Wenyu sighed and said, "That's it, since you have already decided, it is useless for me to persuade me to continue, so I just follow your wishes."

On the first day, Jin Zhao took two maids into the palace.

Jin Zhao came early, and seeing that it was still early before the banquet began, he went to Wuxi Palace to greet Concubine Jing first.

Who knows, on the way, he encountered Yan Xue, who seemed to be from Wuxi Palace.

Seeing Jin Zhao's appearance intact in front of him, Yan Xue was obviously a little surprised. Originally, she had heard about it, and when she heard that Su Jinzhao had recovered his appearance, she didn't believe it at first, thinking that someone was spreading rumors.

Su Jinzhao's face was obviously ruined, how could it be okay, Yan Xue still didn't want to believe it, she would rather Su Jinzhao still be an ugly monster, but she didn't want to, when she saw a real person today, she was naturally surprised.

"Your face?" Yan Xue couldn't help but ask, her eyes looking at her in disbelief. After a momentary gaffe, he forgot to salute, and when he reacted, he reluctantly saluted Jin Zhao, which was considered to have been seen.

Jin Zhao didn't bother with her much, reached out and touched his face, and said with a smile: "My face is naturally good."

Hearing this, Yan Xue didn't believe it, she was obviously disfigured, how could she say that she would recover when she recovered, it was really impossible, she never believed it.

"How is this possible? Your face is obviously injured like that, and there is no trace of recovery. Between the words, she couldn't believe anything.

Yan Xue's reaction was expected by Jin Zhao, thinking that when she learned that her appearance was destroyed, she laughed at herself behind her back, and now she saw an intact Su Jinzhao, how could she not be surprised, not surprised.

Jin Zhao said to her: "Thanks to Dr. Lu, if it weren't for his superb medical skills, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get better, and I can restore my former appearance, Dr. Lu has put a lot of thought into it, and I really have to thank him well, otherwise I will have to see people with a veil all my life, how can I recover as before."

Lu Ping! It was actually him, the more Yan Xue thought about it, the more angry she became, thinking that Lu Ping was the doctor who went to her house at the beginning, but who knew that she recognized Su Jinzhao as the master, and it was angry to think about it.

Yan Xue bit her lip and said word by word: "The third imperial concubine is really lucky, she can recover her appearance after being disfigured, if she is someone else, I am afraid that she will not have such good luck."

If she knew that Lu Ping could help Su Jinzhao restore her appearance, she would not have handed over people to the other party when she said anything, but now that she thinks about it, she really regrets it.

It's just that it's useless to say these things now, what should have happened has happened, and Su Jinzhao's appearance has also recovered, everything is much beyond her expectations.

Seeing Yan Xue's slight expression, Jin Zhao understood it and said: "Good luck is one thing, but it is mainly thanks to Dr. Lu's medical skills, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid that my face injury wouldn't be able to heal so quickly, by the way, the third prince also invited the imperial doctor in the palace for me before."

Hearing this, Yan Xue's face became very embarrassed.

It's not him, I'm afraid that my face injury won't heal so quickly, by the way, the third prince also invited the imperial doctor in the palace for me before. ”

Hearing this, Yan Xue's face became different from him, but I was afraid that my face injury would not heal so quickly, by the way, the third prince also invited the imperial doctor in the palace for me before. ”

Hearing this, Yan Xue's face changed
