Chapter 114: Going to the Banquet
Xiao Hu went to see Shu Mei with a sad face, and repeated Shu Ying's words aside.
Shu Mei looked at Xiao Hu for a long time and said, "Oh, in this case, then you can go back first, I think the Fan family has been very quiet recently." ”
Xiao Hu immediately retorted: "How can this work? Didn't you see what Fan Nantian was like that day, like a wolf, I don't think he will stop until he achieves his goal. ”
Shu Mei couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Why are you so nervous?" ”
"I'm not nervous, I just feel that since you handed over this matter to me, I can't leave it alone halfway." Xiao Hu spoke righteously, but suddenly the tips of his reddened ears betrayed him.
Shu Mei no longer teased him, and said: "Two days will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor will feast the ministers, and the female relatives will accompany him, Ah Ying will definitely enter the palace for the banquet, since she doesn't want to see you recently, you still don't pretend to be a maid, go back and think about what to do." ”
Xiao Hu also heard about this matter, and the invitation of the Fan family can be ignored, but the queen's face cannot be ignored. Fan Nantian is also a serious 800 jinshi, and the emperor has always been good at being a corporal of Lixian, so it seems that he will also go.
If Fan Nantian's thief heart is not dead, he will definitely find an opportunity to make a move at the banquet.
"Well, don't worry, eldest lady, I will definitely protect her."
Shu Mei smiled and nodded, "Our Ah Ying will be handed over to you." ”
Soon it was the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people entered the palace one after another in the afternoon. For such a grand banquet, safety naturally has to be put first, and every car entering the palace has been screened by layers of palace gates.
Shu Mei also followed Shu Ying into the palace in the same car, because the Queen Mother spoke and asked Shu Mei to come over, this was the first time the Queen Mother wanted to see her since she returned to the palace.
Shu Ying was very quiet today, ignoring Shu Mei the whole time. Looking at her awkward appearance, Shu Mei felt much cuter than before.
Since it was a banquet for the ministers, the number of female dependents was also quite considerable, Shu Mei and Shu Ying followed the Zhao family to see the Queen Mother first, and then Shu Mei was left behind.
This signal made Zhao feel a little uneasy, not long after she embezzled Shu Mei's mother's dowry, for fear that the Queen Mother would remember it and trouble her again.
Since that day, the Zhao family has been grounded, and if it weren't for this banquet, she wouldn't be able to go out at will.
But doesn't the Queen Mother already dislike Shu Mei? Should her marriage with the Fan family continue?
Zhao left with doubts.
In fact, it is very simple for the Queen Mother to leave Shu Mei, she wants to eat what Shu Mei makes.
Shu Ying followed Zhao to see the queen, she was a little absent-minded on the way, and she didn't listen to a word of what Zhao whispered to her.
When I saw the queen, I inevitably ran into Fan Haiyan, but this time Fan Tong didn't follow her.
Seeing that Fan Haiyan intended to be close to Shu Ying, Zhao sent Shu Ying over, and together with those young ladies of the same age, she went to entertain those ladies.
Shu Ying is not stupid, what happened that day, if Fan Haiyan knows nothing, she doesn't believe it. If she hates someone, she really can't even pretend, so she looks a little cold and hard at Fan Haiyan at this time.
Fan Haiyan has always been good at dancing with long sleeves, and she didn't care about Shu Ying's attitude at all, but pulled her to a place where there were few people, and solemnly apologized to her.
"What happened last time was that I couldn't recognize people, and I apologize to you."
I don't understand what I said, but everyone knows what it means.
In fact, Shu Ying didn't tell Fan Haiyan about that day, and Fan Tong wouldn't be stupid enough to say it, but Fan Haiyan was so frank that Shu Ying was a little less hostile to her.
"You don't have to, that's none of your business."
"Ah Ying, do you blame me? Otherwise, I won't be able to invite you these days. ”
"Nope." Shu Ying rarely thought of an excuse to deal with it, "I have two rabbits, and I am still young and can't do without people." ”
Xiaohu left that day, but the two rabbits were still left by him, and Shu Ying couldn't find anyone to retreat, so he could only stay and raise them. In the past few days, Shu Yun has come to play with the little rabbit every day, and it is difficult for Shu Ying to forget about it.
Fan Haiyan also raised rabbits when she was a child, and when she talked about this topic, she knew more than Shu Ying, so she pulled her to teach her a lot of experience in feeding rabbits, and Shu Ying was stunned when she heard it.
It's good that she didn't kill the rabbit, and besides, why should he help raise the rabbit herself.
Thinking about it, Shu Ying is still angry.
Seeing that Shu Ying's face was getting worse and worse, Fan Haiyan was also a little confused, she had always been cautious, and she no longer pestered Shu Ying, but brought her back to those noble girls.
When Fan Haiyan came back, he was pulled into the center of the chat, and someone asked why Princess Jianing didn't come.
Princess Jianing is the only daughter of the queen, she has been smart since she was a child, and even Emperor Huaixuan, who is more affectionate to children, loves her very much.
And the princess has no threat of fighting for power, so Princess Jianing's treatment in the palace is the first, and even the crown prince or Xiao Hang can't compare.
Fan Haiyan and Jianing are the same age, and they are cousins who have been familiar since childhood, and they have a good relationship. So I found her without seeing the princess, but this time even Fan Haiyan didn't know where the princess went.
They are talking about Princess Jianing, and the queen is also complaining to the wives that her children are too disobedient and her heart is too wild, and even on such days, she is not at ease in the palace.
Although the princess is stubborn, if it weren't for the favor of the emperor and the queen, no matter how bold she is, she probably wouldn't dare to run out.
The wives are all human spirits, and they naturally pick up the words that the queen likes to hear. talked about Princess Jianing's filial piety, because the queen likes peonies and looks for rare and exotic species everywhere, just to win a smile from the queen mother.
This is not a lie, Princess Jianing just gave the queen another pot of peonies. Although it did not bloom, the queen still placed the pot of peonies in the most conspicuous position in the palace so that everyone who came in could see it.
Speaking of this, the smile in the queen's eyes couldn't be hidden, and the atmosphere became lively.
Compared with the excitement of the queen, the queen mother's side is much more deserted.
Although many people came to see the Queen Mother, they were sent away after seeing them, leaving only Shu Mei alone.
The Queen Mother is old and has bad teeth, but she prefers sweets, so Shu Mei took out her housekeeping skills and made a lot of snacks in the small kitchen of Ci'an Palace.
After such a toss, Shu Mei spent most of the day in Ci'an Palace, and did not follow the Queen Mother until the banquet was about to start.
After Shu Mei entered, he sat down next to Shu Ying, and then took out a snack wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Shu Ying.
This kind of banquet is the most tormenting, the royal banquet is nothing delicious, and it has to stay up until midnight.
Shu Ying glanced at Shu Mei, snorted lightly, and turned her head. Shu Mei smiled, didn't care about her unreasonableness, and handed the snack to Shu Ying's maid.
