Returned to the Wanyun Pavilion, and before he could enter the courtyard, he saw Xiao Ju anxiously waiting at the front door, looking out at the weak figure from a distance.

When she saw Xiao Xiaoru, Xiao Ju's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly ran to the front of Xiao Xiaoru, and said, "Miss, it's not good, the fourth miss is here, and she is waiting for you in the house!" ”

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled puzzledly: "The fourth lady will come when she comes, why are you panicking?" ”

Xiao Ju moved her mouth, looking at her smile as if she wanted to say something, and even the smile on the corner of Su's mother next to her mouth gradually converged.

Xiao Xiao tilted his head in confusion, thought about it, and then came back to his strength, in his previous life, he was so cowardly, and there were few people in this decaying Wanyun Pavilion, but as long as he came to visit, there would definitely be no good thing.

The fourth lady's name is Xi Bingning, she is the daughter of Aunt Qiu Ruoshuiqiu, and like her mother, she seems to be neither fighting nor grabbing, but in fact she is also a scheming and dormant master.

But then again, who in this huge prime minister's mansion will be a good person?

Touching his chin, Xiao Xiaoru searched carefully in his memory, and soon found the intention of Xi Bingning's visit.

In her previous life, when she and Xi Bingning passed by, Xi Bingning's body leaned slightly in her direction, so that the two sides had a direct physical touch.

However, at this moment, an accident happened, and the blood jade bracelet on Bingning's wrist "coincidentally" fell and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and directly shattered into three petals.

Xi Bingning's eyes were red at that time, and she pulled Xiao Xiao to not let her go, and kept saying that she broke the bracelet and asked her to pay for it.

At that time, Xiaoru had picked it up and examined it carefully, and there were two uneven fractures on the fracture, and it was obvious that the bracelet had cracks before it was broken.

But at that time, she didn't dare to say anything about Xi Bingning's blatant blackmail.

The dumb can't say what she suffers from eating Coptis chinensis, and she twists her nose and loses a lot of money, and she is not rich in the first place, so she has completely become a poor person.

His thoughts turned, and he smiled like a cold smile, in his previous life, he was also so desperate to be bullied.

"Let's go, since everyone has already come, how can we make the guests wait for a long time."

Mother Su was stunned for a moment, looking at the smile that was walking in, Xiao Ju may not know the meaning of Xi Bingning, but she knows it very well.

But after thinking about it carefully, since the young lady woke up, she has been different from before, and seeing that she is so breezy and calm, Su's mother's nervous heart has gradually settled down.

"Oops! Eldest sister, you can be counted as back, tell my sister to wait for me. When he saw the smile, Bing Ning's eyes lit up obviously.

Xiaoru also reciprocated with a "warm" smile, sat firmly opposite her, pretending not to know her intentions: "The fourth sister came to me in such a hurry, but is there something?" ”

Bing Ning was stunned for a moment, then his face sank, and he complained unceremoniously: "Eldest sister, you smashed my most precious blood jade bracelet, no matter what, you have to give my sister an explanation, right?" ”

"Oh!" smiled like a look of sudden realization, and then immediately looked embarrassed, "I'm deeply sorry for this, but look at it, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to get something out of my hands to compensate my sister for this priceless bracelet." ”

"What, don't you want to be able to pay your bills?" Xi Bingning was anxious at that time, stared, and stood up suddenly.

"Sister, don't worry!"

Xiaoru got up slowly, pulled her to sit down comfortingly, and then sighed slightly, her eyebrows tangled, as if she had made some major decision.

"Okay, this is my mistake, my sister lost such a valuable thing, although I don't have the money to compensate you, but I accidentally learned a news, if only my sister knows about it, it will be a promising future, I wonder if I can use this news to offset my sister's loss?"

The smile is like a calm expression, and it accurately grasps the psychology of the ice condensation, so that the words that come out are full of magical magic that captivates people's hearts.

Hao Bingning first glanced at her suspiciously, and then pouted dissatisfiedly: "What kind of news is so valuable, didn't the eldest sister want to make up the accounts to deceive me, right?" ”

Xiao Xiaoru smiled indifferently and said, "Whether it's true or not, I'll know tonight." ”

Seeing that Bingning's expression gradually became serious, Xiao Xiaoru leaned over and whispered in her ear: "The triennial Hundred Flowers Banquet has suddenly been advanced. ”

Before the words fell, Xi Bingning trembled, his face was full of shock, it has been less than a year and a half since the last Hundred Flowers Banquet, how can this session be ......

Regardless of whether she was shocked or not, her eyes flashed, and she continued to release fierce news: "Refuse reliable information that the father-in-law in the palace will come to the palace tonight to inform in advance, and the queen will come to the mansion in person early tomorrow morning...... Choose the only person in our house who is qualified to enter the palace to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet! ”

What the? Select? Sole? These words further shocked Bingning.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet, held once every three years in the palace, flower appreciation friends, tea exchange, is the social activity of the younger generation of the upper class, each family is not limited to the number of participants, in addition to the children, as long as the head of the family particularly likes and gives high hopes to the children of the concubine can participate.

Every time the Hundred Flowers Banquet is highly valued, since it is a circle of high society, it is no longer as simple as drinking tea and chatting, and anyone who can participate is not a dragon and phoenix among people, and they represent a powerful force behind them.

Driven by today's social trends, they can form their own interpersonal networks in the process of contacting and expressing themselves, and sometimes they can play a key role, such as finding out information, balancing relationships, and even seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

For the concubines, every time they want to participate, due to the disparity in status, they only hope that they can get the favor of a certain son and son at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and be married as a wife, and rewrite the fate of their lives.

Xiao Xiaoru still smiled lightly, calmly staring at the uncertain face of Xi Bingning.

In the past, they were all Xiaoru and Yuyan who went to participate together, and Xiaoxiaoru was able to go because she was the only lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yuyan was able to go because of the favor and favor of Tianxiong.

In the past, when there was no quota, she couldn't take her turn, not to mention that now she is the only person who the queen mother came to personally select to participate?

As soon as he thought of this, Xi Bingning immediately collapsed, and glared at Xiao Xiaoru with a little anger: "Eldest sister, don't you use me here for fun, what does this have to do with me?" ”

He glanced at her with a smile, and his smile was full of charm: "This news is currently unknown to no one except you and me, since it is selected by the queen mother herself, if my sister can get into the eyes of the queen mother......"

The words stopped at the point, and she smiled as if she believed that she could understand the deep meaning of this.

Sure enough, as the smile fell like a voice, Xi Bingning's eyes lit up obviously, and he fell into contemplation again.
