The banquet was carried out in an orderly manner, several couples were smiling and laughing, and the Queen Mother sitting at the top looked very happy.
"Seeing that you all have a good relationship, it seems that the wish of the mourning family to hold the great-grandson will soon be fulfilled!" The Queen Mother looked at Su Jinli and the others lovingly.
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yongli and the empress immediately agreed, and Su Jinli and several other brides blushed.
"Imperial Grandmother! Don't make fun of your grandchildren! The Sixth Imperial Princess, Baili Shihan, immediately blushed and said angrily.
She is the niece of Queen Baili and the grandniece of the Queen Mother, so she is closer to the Queen Mother, so she dares to do so.
"Haha! Han'er is shy! The queen immediately covered her mouth and smiled and said to the queen mother.
"I'm shy, I still have to say it!" The Queen Mother smiled and pretended to be domineering.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but smile a little.
After laughing, the Queen Mother said a little seriously: "Extending the heirs is the top priority, and the mourning family can wait to hold their great-grandson!" You all have to work hard, whoever has good news first will be rewarded by the mourners! โ
"Yes!" All the brides answered in unison.
After watching the singing and dancing, the Queen Mother sent them back to the prince's mansion.
Su Jinli and the others had just stepped out of the Renle Hall when they were stopped by Chunyan.
"Seventh Imperial Princess, our mother-in-law invites you to go to Changle Palace for a while." Chunyan said respectfully.
Su Jinli frowned slightly, since her grandfather insisted on giving herself to Ming Jue in the main hall that day, her concubine and aunt had never sent anyone to visit her and her grandfather in the Ningguo Mansion.
Why did you suddenly send someone to invite you over today?
It's not going to be a good thing! She sighed helplessly.
"Then I'm tired of Miss Chunyan leading the way!" After thinking about it slightly, Su Jinli resolutely decided to go to Changle Palace.
It's just that he was stopped by Gu Mingjue as soon as he took a step, his eyes were full of disapproval, and he glanced at her and looked at Chunyan.
He said coldly: "This prince may not have seen the concubine Niangniang for a long time, so let's go with Li'er to visit the next concubine!"
"This ......" Chunyan was stunned, Niangniang only said to invite Miss Su to go, but she didn't say to invite His Royal Highness the Seventh!
Seeing Chunyan's embarrassed face, Gu Mingjue's tone became even colder, and he asked, "What?" This prince can't go? โ
Chunyan's expression became even more entangled, and Su Jinli hurriedly said after being pinched by someone's palm: "If you can't go, then I can't go!" Husband, let's go home! โ
After speaking, he made a gesture to go to the palace gate, Chunyan panicked for a moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Seventh Highness, Seven Imperial Princesses stay!"
The corners of Su Jinli's and his wife's lips were slightly raised, and although they were still moving forward, they obviously slowed down.
Chunyan couldn't see it, so she hurriedly apologized: "The slave and maid should be damned and annoyed His Highness, and I hope His Highness will not have to deal with the slave and maid!"
Then he said: "Please go to Changle Palace with the Seventh Highness and the Seventh Princess!"
The smile in Su Jinli's eyes deepened, but he was a wise person!
"I think you are the most powerful palace maid by your aunt's side, and this princess will not settle accounts with you today! If there is a next time, it will not be spared! After turning around, Su Jinli deliberately said with a straight face.
Chunyan knew that this was just a step that the couple deliberately forced her to personally invite the Seventh Highness to Changle Palace, so she didn't refute it and hurriedly responded with a smile.
"Slave and maid, thank you for your great grace and princess!"
"Hmm!" Su Jinli nodded, and then the group went to Changle Palace.
When they entered the hall, Gu Mingyun was sitting next to Concubine Su with a dark face, while Wei Ziyuan was sitting with her head bowed to the side.
Su Guifei's face was not very good, and there was a hint of anger in her eyes, and without saying more, Su Jinli and his wife would know what was going on!
It must be that she is arrogant and loves to compete with the queen's aunt who knows that Wei Ziyuan annoyed Emperor Yongli and was given etiquette.
Chunyan bowed her head and said, "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Seventh has arrived with the princess!"
The moment she saw Gu Mingjue, Concubine Su's eyes flashed slightly, and then she smiled softly: "Mingjue and Li'er are here!" Sit down! โ
Then he turned to the palace maid and said, "Serve tea to Mingjue and Li'er!"
The palace maid was slightly blessed and went to the pantry.
Su Jinli and Gu Mingjue did not sit down as they said, but saluted together: "Say hello to the concubine!"
Su Guifei's face was slightly condensed, did these two people not understand that she was deliberately showing favor to close the distance or pretending not to know how to reject her?
Although she was unhappy, she quickly adjusted her mentality, and said with a light smile: "Why did you two get separated from me?"
"Mingjue won't talk about it, why are you so angry with your aunt?"
Su Jinli's heart was cold, when did she treat herself as a niece?
Was her own tragedy in her previous life caused by her?
And whether it is in her previous life or in this life, she looks down on her as a talentless and virtuous person like others, so she will allow Wei Ziyuan and others to bully her!
Although she didn't think much of Su Guifei's hypocrisy in her heart, Su Jinli still smiled on her face: "How can Li'er be separated from her aunt, it's just ......"
At this point, she frowned slightly, and glanced at Wei Ziyuan with a little embarrassment.
"Just what?" Su Guifei asked.
"It's just a gift! Today, my father just made a fire because Concubine Wei lost her honor in the Taimiao, and Li'er really didn't dare to be rude at this moment! โ
She said very sincerely, but Wei Ziyuan's heart was cold when she heard it.
Subconsciously raised his head, and sure enough, he saw that the smile on Su Guifei's face stiffened a little, and something quickly flashed in her eyes.
"It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, not like some brainless ......"
Speaking of this, she glanced at Wei Ziyuan coldly and then silenced.
The meaning of this glance is self-evident, and it is clearly to scold Wei Ziyuan in public for being brainless.
After that, Concubine Su Guifei said again: "The concubine of the dignified marquis is raised like this, and this palace really feels a pain in the face for Mrs. Zhenguohou!" That's it, Chunyan, you will go to Chuxiu Palace to choose a ceremonial grandmother and send it to the Hou Mansion of Zhenguo, and teach the young ladies in the mansion who have not yet come out of the cabinet for Mrs. Hou! โ
Hearing this, Wei Ziyuan was shocked, and Su Guifei's move was to put the face of their Zhenguo Marquis Mansion on the ground and step on it!
It can be described as a heart-wrenching! It was more embarrassing than punching her in the face.
Wei Ziyuan's eyes suddenly turned red, but she didn't dare to say anything.
After all, no matter what the reason is, it is a grace for the palace to give Mama to the Hou Mansion, and she can only bear it!
Wei Ziyuan's eyes were red with anger, but Su Jinli was not enough, and she said again: "Concubine Wei still doesn't thank your aunt?" The etiquette of Chuxiu Palace is the best grandmother in the palace, and it is a great blessing for a noble girl to get her guidance! โ
Su Jinli pretended to be envious, and was so angry that Wei Ziyuan's throat was sweet.
A great blessing? If it weren't for her loss of honor today, it would indeed be counted, but now this is clearly a deliberate attempt to humiliate her and the entire Zhenguo Mansion!
She is helpless not to scold, but she still wants her to be grateful to Dade?
At this point, Wei Ziyuan felt that this Su Jinli was worthy of being Su Guifei's niece, and she was as serious as she was when she spoke and did things!
How to pierce other people's hearts, how to say!
Su Jinli pretended to be aggrieved and said cautiously: "Auntie, is what Li'er said wrong?" Why did Concubine Wei stare at me fiercely? โ
Su Guifei was eager to win over Su Jinli, although she was a little disdainful of her behavior of beating the water dog, she still helped: "Li'er is not wrong!"
Then an eye knife killed Wei Ziyuan.
Wei Zi's sharp nails were already embedded in her palms, and she took a deep breath and said, "Daughter-in-law thank you for your grace!"
With that, she quickly hung her head, so that the resentment and resentment in her eyes would not be watched.
Su Jinli, my humiliation today will definitely be returned to you a hundred times in the future!
Thinking about it, the anger in Wei Ziyuan's eyes became a little heavier.
At this time, Concubine Su talked and laughed with Su Jinli again, and then she got to the point.
She said guiltily: "Li'er, aunt is useless! Auntie, I'm sorry for you! On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Your Majesty wants to give you death, but I have nothing to do! If you don't speak up, you're afraid you'll be ......"
As she spoke, Concubine Su began to sob.
A trace of disgust flashed in Su Jinli's eyes, and then she hurriedly comforted her with understanding: "Auntie, don't blame yourself, who dares to disobey and plead for the emperor's anger?" Li'er doesn't blame her aunt! โ
Hearing this, the guilt in Concubine Su's eyes was a little more, and she continued to choke up: "It's hard for you to be a good sensible boy!"
"My aunt was supposed to go back to the house to visit you and my father, but Your Majesty was furious, and I didn't dare to leave the palace for the rest of my life!"
This sentence is to explain why she ignored the Ningguo Mansion, but it made Su Jinli's heart even colder.
Don't talk about herself, how can grandpa also be her own father!
Grandpa was so angry that she fainted under His Royal Highness, and she actually asked a question, this is really too cold-blooded!
"Auntie's difficulties are understood! Grandpa can also understand, aunt don't think too much! Su Jinli continued to comfort gently.
Her cooperation like this caused Su Guifei to have some doubts in her heart, but she had already acted to this point, so she couldn't give up halfway.
Yes, she pointed at Gu Mingyu again and said, "Bastard!" Don't make amends to your sister Li'er! โ
After that, he said to Su Jinli again: "Mingyu is really bold, he actually chased you to the gate of the palace and almost strangled you!" Good thing you're fine! โ
Su Guifei's face was nervous, as if she still had palpitations.
Her hypocritical appearance made Su Jinli's stomach pantothenic, so she hurriedly took the initiative to take over the conversation and said, "Auntie is serious!" When everyone is confused, His Royal Highness the Ninth is also dizzy for a while, I don't blame him! โ
Su Guifei nodded with satisfaction, and praised her for her kindness, but Su Jinli smiled silently.
She has never matched the four words of kindness at all, she is jealous and hateful, and it is true that she will be retribution!
Seeing that Gu Mingyu didn't move for a while, Su Guifei said unhappily: "Mingyou, make amends to Li'er!"
Hearing this, Gu Mingyu forcibly suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said lightly: "I was so excited that day that I almost made a big mistake, and I hope that Sister Li'er won't worry about me!"
"Brother Nine Emperor is serious!" Su Jinli got up and returned the salute, and said lightly.
Then a few people talked again, and Su Jinli found an excuse to pull Gu Mingjue away.
After they went out, Concubine Su smiled and said with a cold face: "If the two of you cause any more trouble in this palace, don't come to Changle Palace again in the future!"
"The son-in-law (daughter-in-law) knows!" Gu Mingyun and Wei Ziyuan responded in unison.
"Humph! I hope you really remember! Su Guifei snorted coldly again.
