Chapter 138: Heavy Clothes Turmoil
Xuan Yining just glanced at Concubine Xi's figure, then withdrew his gaze and climbed the steps by himself and sat on the main seat of the main hall.
Gui Luhai, who had sent Concubine Xi away, followed him up the steps, standing beside Xuan Yining, and his voice trembled, "Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with the slaves today!" ”
Xuan Yining waved his hand lazily, signaling Gui Luhai beside him to do his best, although Nian Yingxi's clothes were arranged by Gui Luhai this year, he didn't believe that Concubine Xi could buy Gui Luhai, so the only explanation was that Concubine Xi sent someone to inquire about the skirt that Nian Yingxi was going to wear tonight.
But now that this matter has come out, now is not the time to find a reason, and he naturally will not punish Concubine Xi for a dress of comparable quality, as for the embarrassment of Nian Yingxi for a while, he has not been worried, because he knows that no matter how difficult the predicament of throwing that woman into, she can climb out with brilliance.
Concubine Xi, who was brought to her seat, clenched her hands under the table until they turned white and she felt no pain.
Although the emperor didn't criticize her clothes harshly just now, she also heard the warning in those words, and if the emperor wasn't partial to the new queen, how could he let her sit on the seats? Isn't it to steal the limelight from the new queen?
The more she thought about it, the tighter Concubine Xi's hands clenched, and in the current situation, she was really curious to see what kind of person this Nian Yingxi was, so that the emperor could bury herself in the crowd for her.
In fact, not only Concubine Xi, but even the other concubines also wanted to see what the new queen looked like, but they didn't hear the meaning of Xuan Yining's words, and they didn't understand what was going on, they just wanted to take a look at what kind of woman was locked in this deep palace.
"The New Queen Arrives ——!" With another shout from the eunuch at the door, everyone in the hall looked in the direction of the door with bated breath.
Outside the door, Nian Yingxi took Zidie to climb the steps slowly and steadily step by step, and under the announcement of the eunuch at the door, she happened to stop at the main entrance of the banquet hall with Zidie.
Purple Butterfly stood outside the door, looking at the brightly lit hall in front of her, and her body tensed up subconsciously.
Although she had also attended many banquets with Wang Wanxiu, it was the first time that it was so grand as today, and her nervousness had the unknown of this banquet, the fear of this palace, and the countless eyes that looked at them at this moment.
Feeling the nervous panting of the purple butterfly beside her, Nian Yingxi gently held her hand, gave her a reassuring smile with her sideways, and lowered her voice to the lowest level, "Except for the emperor here, I am the biggest, if it doesn't work, let's just copy the guy's blood, and if something happens, it's mine." ”
Listening to this words as if she was joking, Purple Butterfly immediately relieved the tension in her body, she looked at Nian Yingxi trusting and nodded solemnly, withdrew her hand from Nian Yingxi's hand, raised her arm to support Nian Yingxi's palm, and walked with Nian Yingxi across the high wooden threshold at the entrance of the main hall.
The little eunuch who had been guarding the door also listened to Nian Yingxi's words just now, he stared at Nian Yingxi's back slowly leaving him with wide eyes, and plucked out his ears in disbelief.
He must have misheard it just now, how could such informalistic words come out of a woman's mouth?
As Nian Yingxi stepped into it, everyone's eyes also brought a trace of amazement.
Although the skirt on her body is not comparable to the skirt that Concubine Xi just wore, her long unmodified hair, white as snowy skin, and facial features that are not lost to anyone are all so heart-wrenching.
Nian Yingxi ignored everyone's gaze, staring at Xuan Yining, who was sitting high in front of her, until she walked to the bottom of the steps with the support of Zidie, and then she smiled and blessed, "Your Majesty." Her hands are like soft, her skin is creamy, the teeth on her lips are bright and white, and her smiling face makes people linger and can't help but look at it again and again.
Xuan Yining, who was sitting on the high seat, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Get up." ”
While Zidie helped Nian Yingxi to get up slowly, Gui Luhai walked down the steps, "Queen Mother, please follow the slave up the steps, your position is on the side of the emperor." ”
Nian Yingxi nodded, and followed Gui Luhai's footsteps to the steps.
Concubine Qi, who had just watched the play coldly, withdrew her gaze from Nian Yingxi's body, and looked at Concubine Xi on the other side, she guessed early in the morning that this new queen would be extraordinary, and now she really has to be impressive when she sees it, but it hurts Concubine Xi, I don't know how long this new queen's appearance will make Concubine Xi, who has always been jealous, angry.
On the steps, Nian Yingxi finally sat down next to Xuan Yining's side step by step, and impatiently kicked the skirt on the top of her feet.
Her movements made the people around her look sideways, looking at the hem of her skirt that exposed her ankles because of kicking, and couldn't help but tilt her head and whisper, "You can't stop for a moment." ”
Nian Yingxi looked helpless, "I really don't know who designed this skirt, not to mention the long mopping and stumbling on the surface of the feet." ”
Her words not only made Xuan Yining listen to it, but also made Zi Die and Gui Luhai, who were standing behind her, hear it clearly, Zi Die pursed her lips and smiled, Gui Luhai looked helpless with a bitter face.
"Maybe it won't be you when it stops." Xuan Yining said, straightened up, then raised the wine glass in his hand and said to the people below, "Open the table." ”
As everyone raised their wine glasses, Nian Yingxi felt a very unfriendly gaze glaring at her, and she slightly sideways her gaze while holding the wine glass, and coincidentally met the angry gaze that Concubine Xi didn't intend to retract at all.
The moment Concubine Xi saw Nian Yingxi, the anger in her heart had already risen, she couldn't believe and couldn't believe it as she watched Nian Yingxi get closer to Xuan Yining's side little by little, and what she doubted in her heart was that this was not only not stupid, but solemn and natural Nian Yingxi.
But thinking about what happened just now, she naturally turned all her doubts into jealousy and hatred, and when Nian Yingxi turned her eyes, she met Nian Yingxi's gaze without retreat.
What about being young and beautiful? What about being natural and decent? This harem is hers, and no one wants to take it away from her!
In the face of Concubine Xi's jealousy, Nian Yingxi didn't care, such a gaze was already strange to her, and there was nothing unusual at all.
It's just that......
Nian Yingxi moved her gaze downward, and when she saw the dress on Concubine Xi's body clearly, she pouted and smiled, raised the wine glass in her hand and gestured to Concubine Xi, and then retracted her gaze and turned back.
Think you can demonstrate to her by dressing the same as her? She was young and not frightened, and it was not unusual for her to have people dressed the same in the twentieth century.
If you want her to be on guard with palpitations, she has to show some real skills, such a small fight, I'm sorry, she doesn't care about it at all.
Concubine Xi bit her lower lip, trembled angrily, and took advantage of the palace maid's efforts to serve the food, suddenly stood up, and under the gaze of the other concubines, she staggered to the bottom of the steps.
"Your Majesty, maybe let the concubines toast the new queen with a glass of wine?" She stood in the middle of the hall in the most beautiful posture, letting her long skirt drag on the ground, and tilted her cheeks with a smile, like a delicate rose blooming in the hall.
All of a sudden, the other concubines in the hall all turned their attention to Concubine Xi, in fact, it is no secret that Concubine Xi is good at being favored in the palace, but everyone did not expect that Concubine Xi can turn a blind eye to it regardless of the occasion now.
Xuan Yining put down the wine glass in his hand and lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covered the light in his eyes, except for the two rows of semicircular shadows left on his face, no one knew what he was thinking now.
Nian Yingxi played with the glass cup in her hand idly, and there was no nervousness on her face, as if this farce had nothing to do with her at all, she was just a boring passerby who came to pass the time.
Zi Die's heart pinched up behind her, in her opinion, since Concubine Xi dared to stir up trouble in public, it was absolutely impossible to simply toast.
When everyone had their own thoughts, Xuan Yining opened his mouth lightly, "Since Concubine Xi has this intention, how can I stop it?" It's just that I am just a supporting role in this banquet, since Concubine Xi is interested, let's see if today's protagonist has this mind. ”
When Concubine Xi heard this, she was overjoyed, turned her gaze to Nian Yingxi, and raised the wine glass in her hand again, "I don't know if the queen can appreciate her face?" ”
Gently raising her gaze, Nian Yingxi slowly raised her head, stretched out her five fingers and touched her chin playfully, looking at Concubine Xi's provocative appearance, she smiled fearlessly, "It doesn't matter if you drink, but who are you?" Register your name to hear about it. ”
Zidie listened to Nian Yingxi's words and words, she thought that she was hallucinating, and her young lady was really lawless, and she embarrassed Concubine Xi in front of everyone like this.
'Poof! Lan Shui beside Concubine Qi burst out laughing, Concubine Qi twisted her eyebrows and raised her eyes to signal Lan Shui to be more mouthful, and Lan Shui was so frightened that she quickly held back her laughter.
However, Lan Shui held back, and the other concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs all whispered and chuckled.
Faced with this deteriorating situation, Gui Luhai was surprised that Nian Yingxi was too bold at the same time, and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in his heart, no one in this deep palace dared to poke Concubine Xi's moldy head like this, presumably Nian Yingxi was the first and the last one in the future.
Concubine Xi's face turned red when she heard the laughter around her, as if she had even curled up the toes in her shoes, and was in the center of the hall in a stalemate of anger and anger.
