Chapter 350: Hongmen Family Banquet
At this time, in the Lianxiang Palace, the slender girl in the elegant palace looked at the delicate little face in the mirror with a smile, and the woman's charm and affection had already appeared between her eyebrows.
"Beauty, is this white magnolia hairpin good? Your Majesty said, beauty is as pure and beautiful as magnolia flowers. The little palace maid behind her flattered obediently.
Xia Xiang glanced at the elegant and low-key hosta, but she just smiled indifferently, and picked up the extravagant golden hairpin in the box on the side, "The family banquet is naturally grand, otherwise how can people know that I am doing well?"
The little palace maid doesn't know why, shouldn't the family banquet be casual and friendly?
"What, do you think I'm not right?" Who knows, Xia Xiang's eyes suddenly changed, and her whole little face seemed to be shrouded in a raging storm, which frightened the little palace maid to kneel to the ground immediately, "Beauty is angry, beauty is angry, it's all slaves and maids stupid......"
Who would have thought that a pair of soft little hands helped her up from the ground, "Why did you suddenly kneel? Just joking with you, you won't really be angry with me, right?"
The little palace maid raised her head in astonishment and looked at Xia Xiang's apologetic smile, and was speechless for a while.
......
The carriage that left from the Xia Mansion had already appeared on the palace road at this time, and when everyone stood at the gate of the Lianxiang Palace, two palace maids warmly greeted them.
In the huge palace, dozens of exquisite dishes were placed on the central banquet table, but the faces of Xia Yihai and the old lady became more and more ugly.
Once again, they deeply realized the badness of Xia Xiang, these dishes were exactly the same as the dishes at the Xia Old New Practice Banquet, but they became more luxurious under the skillful hands of the imperial dining room in the palace.
So, is she planning to let everyone relive the long-torn family relationship with her about that extremely unpleasant memory?
With the pleasant sound of golden bells, I saw a slender but dressed woman slowly coming from outside, a pair of jade feet wearing small bells, walking with an indescribable style.
Xia Yihai and the old lady looked at the visitor expressionlessly, and happened to meet Xia Xiang's happy eyes.
"Grandmother, father, Xiang'er finally saw you, no need to be polite, they are all family. She stood still in front of everyone, as if to remind the few people who had not moved, now that she was the mother of the palace, shouldn't she get up and salute to greet her?
Xia Xiang's gaze then stopped on Eighth Miss Xia Qing's body, and her tone pretended to be surprised, "Why is Eighth Sister's face so bad?
Xia Qing, who was suddenly named, couldn't help but tremble, looked at Xia Qianwei beside her hesitantly, and her body wanted to stand up uncontrollably.
She had long known how terrible Xia Xiang was, and the torture of that night had left an indelible shadow on her.
Who knows, Xia Qianwei gently held her hand under the table, then looked at Xia Xiang and smiled softly, "The ninth sister is so blessed, in a short period of time, she has become a four-grade beauty beside His Majesty, and the delicacies on this table are rarely the opportunity to taste even if they are third-grade Jieyu, which shows that the ninth sister has won the heart of the emperor, which is gratifying." ”
Xia Qianwei wanted to tell Xia Xiang that in terms of grade, she could be under the general of the town army and the lord of Yongle County, and she should be saluting, and if she is not worthy of virtue, she will have to reap the consequences sooner or later!
"Naturally, it is stained with the light of the third sister, and His Majesty is full of praise for the third sister!" Xia Xiang looked sincerely grateful, and the old lady on the side immediately shouted.
"Shut up! I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick, do you think that if you are a little beauty, you can shake the general's mansion in the slightest?!"
Xia Xiang's eyes moved slightly, she gestured, and the palace maids around her immediately retreated, and the girl who had been smiling gradually retracted her expression, and replied coolly, "Grandmother misunderstood Xiang'er, Xiang'er really wants to share this glory with the third sister." ”
"I don't know shame!" Xia Yihai's eyes jumped with irrepressible fire, but Xia Xiang was not afraid.
"What did my father say? Xiang'er, as the daughter of the Xia family, if she didn't know her shame, wouldn't her father admit that she had no way to teach and that her family style was not right? Even if Xiang'er was scolded by 10,000 people, what did it matter, but her father should think more about the third sister. ”
No one thought that Xia Xiang would become so sharp-toothed, the old lady took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, if she really got angry because of her words, that was Xia Xiang's way!
"It's better for you to poison your blood relatives and beasts, so you're not afraid that the evil things you did will spread out?" At this time, the old lady's breath was cold, and she wanted to threaten Xia Xiang'an with a handle.
However, the girl smiled even deeper, "Grandmother, doesn't she want to put Your Majesty in injustice? Xiang'er is also tight-lipped for the sake of the Xia family." ”
“......”
Xia Qianwei raised her eyebrows, this Miss Nine has become more and more shrewd, I have to admit that she made a wonderful move, she escaped to Emperor Chen's side with a big crime and was favored, if the Xia family told the truth, although it could make Xia Xiang recover, it was equivalent to pushing the Xia family to the forefront.
Although he is the king of a country, which woman he wants is not good? The premise is that this woman must have a clean family background!
Once Xia Xiang's evil deeds are publicized, where will Emperor Chen's face be placed? A hat that makes Zhi faint is buttoned down, Emperor Chen will definitely be angry with the Xia family!
So the only way is for both parties to release their previous suspicions and pretend that nothing has happened, and they are still a happy family and share the holy grace!
Xia Xiang's poisonous mind! What a disgusting revenge!
Xia Qianwei knew that all they could do now was to keep the house silent, the less people knew, the better, as long as they didn't mention what Xia Xiang had done in the past, how to deal with evil in the future would depend on their own abilities, and no one could use this as a handle.
Xia Xiang wanted to see a trace of anger and unwillingness on Xia Qianwei's face, but who knew that the beautiful person looked at her calmly, "My father was promoted to the general of the second-grade town army this time, and the ninth sister can be regarded as having done her filial piety and repaid the kindness of the general's mansion over the years, so far the two do not owe each other." ”
"Don't you owe each other?" Xia Xiang seemed to hear some joke.
Of course, my father has no real power in his hands, so where can he become the backer of the ninth sister. The relationship between the harem is complicated, and the ninth sister is still good at herself. ”
The corners of Xia Qianwei's mouth hooked slightly, now that Concubine Zhuang was beaten into the cold palace, it was difficult to protect herself, and Xia Xiang escaped with His Majesty's freshness, but so what?
She was unusually named a beauty, how many pairs of eyes are staring at the harem, she has to fight up if she wants to live!
Xia Qianwei's words immediately reminded everyone that the General's Mansion didn't need to be afraid of such a weak four-grade beauty at all! Even if Xia Xiang wanted to die together in the end and confess everything in front of Emperor Chen, as long as the General's Mansion denied it, this crime of bullying the monarch would not be convicted!
At this time, Xia Xiang's expression finally changed, thinking that he could catch them off guard this time, but he didn't want Xia Qianwei's mind to be so sober......
At that moment, there was a sound of announcements outside.
"Lan Meiren, I don't know if everyone in Xia Mansion has a good meal......?
