Chapter 392: The Beginning of the Banquet
Fortunately, in front of the queen, everyone wanted to show their gentle and supple side, and everything Su Xiyun was worried about did not happen.
Soon, it was evening.
Su Xiyun followed the queen. Together with the ladies in the main hall, they set off from the Kunning Palace and went to the Imperial Garden.
The lights in the imperial garden are bright, the banquet has already been full of people, everyone saw the queen, and immediately left the table to ask for peace, although they are all some boudoir girls, but the voice of peace is also resounding in the sky.
"Rise up, everybody!" The queen slowly walked to the high platform and sat down slowly, although there was a smile on her face, the majesty that belonged to the superior was still fully revealed.
As soon as Su Xiyun came from Kunning Palace with the queen, she walked to the banquet when everyone got up.
Not far away, Su Qianyun was waving at this side behind a table of melon and fruit mooncakes, and Su Xiyun saw her at a glance. She smiled and walked over.
Suddenly, Su Xiyun's feet froze, she quickly turned around, and just saw that Li Jinlan, the young lady of the Squire's Mansion just now, was embarrassed to withdraw her outstretched feet, and Su Xiyun's own skirt had half a very conspicuous footprint.
"Miss Su, I'm sorry......" Li Jinlan was embarrassed to accompany Sin, and the smile on her face was almost a little unbearable. She has tried this trick on countless young ladies, and none of them have failed, but does Miss Su from Cheng'an Mansion have eyes on the back of her head? I reacted so quickly!
Su Xiyun glanced down at the half of the footprints on the skirt, and said lightly, "Miss Li, please go first." He said. Su Xiyun stepped aside.
"I, I'm not ......" Li Jinlan almost wanted to explain, but a few young ladies who came with her said: "Let's go, do you want to lose face when you stand here?" Because I was afraid of being heard by the queen on the high platform, the voice of the person who spoke was very small, and only a few people standing here could hear it. The Woman's Wild Horn.
Li Jinlan's face showed a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, and she stomped her foot. Finally crossed Su Xiyun and walked forward.
Su Xiyun nodded at the young ladies, and then walked out as well. This time, she walked to Su Qianyun's side smoothly and sat down in the position she had already reserved for her.
"Sister Su." Bai Ruifeng's sister Bai Ruiqi on the side greeted Su Xiyun with a smile.
Su Xiyun just nodded, and then she saw another smiling face.
"Miss Sue." Bai Yinghong changed the appearance of her eyes above the top when she first met, and put on a smiling face that was almost the same as Bai Ruiqi.
"Miss Bai Er." Su Xiyun nodded politely and detachedly, and then turned her gaze. In her heart. This Miss Bai Yinghong is no different from the group of young ladies in front of the queen just now.
"What happened to you?" Su Qianyun asked in a low voice.
Su Xiyun smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that someone accidentally stepped on the skirt." ”
What she said was light and light, but Su Qianyun knew that it was not a trivial matter to be stepped on by someone on her skirt, whether it was a fall or a fall, or a fall that broke her appearance, not to mention that today's scene is not only the palace, but there are so many people in the venue, if Su Xiyun really falls, it will really lose her face!
That's Miss Li really not a good thing! Su Qianyun hatefully threw an angry glance at Li Jinlan, who was sitting not far away.
Before the feast began, she was angry.
Seeing this, Su Xiyun hurriedly wanted to comfort her, but at this moment, she heard a delicate female voice: "Sister-in-law, isn't Sister Xiyun okay?" Don't be angry, anger will get old. ”
Su Xiyun couldn't help but glance at Bai Ruiqi, but this little girl's big eyes were crystal clear, and there were no impurities at all.
Maybe it's because you're too careful, right? Su Xiyun thought to herself.
When Su Qianyun heard Bai Ruiqi's words, her face really changed a lot.
After a while, the banquet opened, everyone while admiring the moon, while enjoying the melon and fruit moon cakes on the table, the queen sat around a few young concubines who are now in full bloom, a few people sat there talking and laughing, this scene infected a group of noble ladies and daughters, everyone in addition to admiring the moon, but also chatted softly with the people around them.
Su Xiyun originally wanted to take the time to ask Su Qianyun a few words, but she looked at the people around her, and finally put away the doubts in her heart and only said something that was not painful. All in all, it was worth it to see Su Qianyun today, Su Xiyun thought to herself.
At this moment, Su Xiyun suddenly heard a rather excited voice: "Miss Su, ah! ”
She turned around slowly, and suddenly saw a graceful and luxurious woman sitting at the next table, and Su Xiyun couldn't recognize her for a while with thick makeup, until the woman looked back at a certain woman who was cowering beside her, and said sarcastically: "Qiang Yun, your sister is here, why don't you go up to greet her?" ”
Hearing the roll call, the woman trembled.
Su Xiyun looked at the woman who was bent over her waist and cowered behind Princess Xian, only to see that she was thin and there were not a few taels of flesh on her body, her cheekbones on both sides were high and protruding, and her face was wrinkled.
Su Xiyun was a little surprised, Su Qiangyun had only been married for less than two months, and she had been tortured like this! Although she is not a good person, how can the evil virtuous couple be so ruthless?
I don't know if Qi Lao, who is in Dongfu, will regret it if she knows that her favorite granddaughter has become like this? Su Xiyun was full of emotion in her heart, and then she turned her head again and got up in the crowd.
There is no figure of Concubine Jing. The one who loves to laugh and make trouble, and must participate in every palace banquet, did not come this time, and it seems that even the princess of the county did not come.
It's okay if you don't come, there is the county king's mansion, presumably the virtuous king Qi Yan does not dare to do anything to the county lord of Jingyi.
Su Xiyun remembered the day before Su Qianyun's wedding, the county lord of Jingyi came to send it, and she was still sad in her heart after all.
At this moment, Su Qiangyun, who had cowered beside Princess Xian and had not appeared in front of anyone for a long time, finally mustered up the courage and said to Su Xiyun: "Sister,. ”
Su Xiyun was about to answer, when a noble lady sitting on the other side of Princess Xian, who was also wearing heavy makeup, pointed at Su Qiangyun and asked curiously, "Princess, who is this?" ”
Princess Xian glanced back at Su Qiangyun lazily, and said with disdain in her eyes: "The concubine of my family's prince Xinna." ”
The noble lady was suddenly taken aback and said, "Concubine? On such an occasion, how can you bring a concubine who is not on the stage? The noble lady looked at Princess Xian with accusations in her eyes.
However, Princess Xian smiled slightly and said, "It's not mine, I didn't think about it so much, I just thought that she was Miss Su's sister, and I brought her here so that their sisters could get together." It was my negligence. ”
"Miss Sue's sister?" The noble lady suddenly screamed, and the eyes of many people around her were diverted, and even the queen mother who was chatting and laughing on the high platform also looked sideways.
Princess Xian didn't see a trace of nervousness, she smiled slightly, and deliberately said in a slow tone: "Yes, she is indeed Miss Su's sister." ”
Everyone looked at Su Qiangyun's combed woman's sideburns, and then looked at her shabby clothes, and they all showed disdain. Some people also turned around and quietly looked at Su Xiyun's body.
However, Su Xiyun was still sitting there steadily, and she only replied lightly to Su Qiangyun's greetings: "Sixth cousin, if you have time, go back to Dongfu to take a look, uncle and grandmother, she misses you very much." ”
In a word, everything is explained very clearly.
Everyone looked back in a boring way, and Su Xiyun also lowered her head, twisted a fried fragrant peanut from the table, slowly peeled off the shell, and raised her hand to put it in her mouth.
Here, Princess Xian saw that she couldn't make Su Xiyun lose face, so she glared at Su Qiangyun hatefully, and reprimanded: "Don't retreat from the embarrassing things!" ”
Tears immediately welled up in Su Qiangyun's eyes, which were particularly big because of her thinness, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she just squatted down, quietly left the seat, and left the banquet area.
No one in the audience noticed this scene, after all, it was not a thing for a lowly concubine to appear on such an occasion. -#~Wonderful ♥ Pen ♣ Pavilion?++
Everyone slowly ate and drank again, Su Xiyun raised her head and was about to talk to Su Qianyun, when suddenly, she felt a burn on her arm. Then came the sound of a teacup cracking.
Su Xiyun lowered her head violently, and saw that the sleeves on her arms had been wet with tea, and a teacup that had broken into eight petals rolled down on the ground next to her. And Bai Yinghong, who was standing beside her with an embarrassed expression, raised her hand and stood beside her, as soon as she came into contact with Su Xiyun's gaze, she sneered: "Sister Su, I just want to pour you a cup of tea, I didn't expect to wet your clothes, I'm sorry!" ”
Su Qianyun on the side hurriedly reached out and grabbed Su Xiyun's arm, and carefully wiped the water stains on it. But unfortunately, clothes that are already soaked are not dry by wiping.
Su Qianyun suddenly turned her head and glanced at Bai Yinghong reproachfully, she had just married into the Bai family, and she didn't dare to really give Bai Yinghong no face like this, but she was very angry in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, I, I didn't mean it......" As soon as Bai Yinghong saw Su Qianyun's eyes, she immediately cried bitterly. This time, the scene became even more uncontrollable, and everyone at the table once again shifted their eyes, and at the same time wondered in their hearts: Why is there so much of this Miss Su?
"It's nothing, you don't have to blame yourself." Su Xiyun said lightly. As soon as she heard Bai Yinghong's cry, she suddenly felt a sense of disgust in her heart, obviously the other party deliberately spilled tea on herself, and actually made it seem as if she was sorry for her.
"......" Bai Yinghong's cry paused, she glanced at Su Xiyun cautiously, and said tentatively: "Sister Su, your clothes are wet, can I accompany you to change them?" ”
