Chapter 54: Defeat
"Yo, it turns out that this is Xiao Shizi's mother, look at my clumsy eyes!" Because Su Yiling also won over Ou Qingshan, but in the end, Ou Qingshan turned against him and threw himself to Shu Yichen, so Bai Xuan'er was angry when she saw the people of the Ou family, and her tone was not good, "It is said that mothers are more expensive than children, it seems that this is indeed true, just because she gave birth to a little son, any concubine can also come to attend this kind of royal banquet." It seems that I also have to work harder with my prince, so as not to be preempted by some foxes, and my husband will have an heir and show off his power in front of me. ”
In the afterglow, she found that Ou Zhilan's expression was getting worse and worse, Bai Xuan'er smiled proudly, and then hugged Bai Lilan affectionately, urging, "Don't just stand here, let's take a seat!" Ah, by the way, Concubine Ou, just now I only reserved a place for the third sister-in-law, so ......"
"It's okay," Ou Zhilan shook her head weakly, and said with a forced smile, "Xiao Shizi is easy to cry, so I'd better take him to find a quieter place." ”
"Then Concubine Ou, please take care of yourself!"
After finishing speaking, Bai Xuan'er and Bai Lilan both walked away, leaving Ou Zhilan standing in place, short of breath.
"Miss, find a place to sit down, there are more and more people." Yingge was originally kind enough to remind Ou Zhilan, but he didn't want Ou Zhilan to laugh suddenly, it was very weird.
After Bai Lilan and Bai Xuan'er sat down, there were Mrs. Decree and official eunuchs around them, pretending to be enthusiastic and talking to each other.
"You see, there were rumors before that the third prince and the fourth prince were at odds, if it was really a discord, how could the two princesses be like sisters? It seems that the rumors cannot be believed! ”
"That's right, that's right, it's really rare for this woman to have such a close relationship."
"She looks like a sister!"
……
The constant compliments around her made Bai Xuan'er very useful, after all, it was said that she was similar to the first beauty in Bac Ninh, which was also a very glorious thing. But Bai Lilan next to him didn't think so. She hates crowds, especially a group of women who compete with each other. Being looked at by them so closely, Bai Lilan used a lot of strength to not kick these women away.
"It's just two old women, what can they do in the United States?"
Suddenly, in the midst of the compliments, a discordant voice appeared, domineering and imperious, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"This is ......"
"Princess Hao, Zhou An'an." Zhou An'an introduced himself generously, and then looked at Bai Lilan defiantly, his eyes were full of burning fire.
"Hey, who do you say is old?" Bai Xuan'er's face immediately changed, and she pointed at the tip of Zhou An'an's nose and said angrily, "As a princess, you have no respect for your elders. We are all your sisters-in-law, don't you know how to say hello when you see them! It's really an alien woman, and she doesn't understand etiquette at all! ”
"I'm not disrespectful, I'm just telling the truth. Why, can't you even tell the truth in front of your sister-in-law? Zhou Anan pretended to look at Baili Lan and the two innocently, but with that innocent expression, accompanying her tall and big figure, it really didn't match.
Bai Xuan'er was upright, knowing that she was not Zhou An'an's opponent, so she set her eyes on Baili Lan, waiting for her to clean up this arrogant woman like she did last time.
But Bai Lilan just hung her head lightly, drank the sweet osmanthus tea in front of her, and didn't say a word.
Seeing Bai Lilan bowing her head and not saying anything, Zhou An was relieved for a while, but just as she was about to continue to make fun of the two of them, she saw Bai Lilan looking up at her, her eyes were full of cold breath, and she didn't need to say anything to make people afraid and dare not say anything.
Zhou Anan was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, why should he be afraid of her? is also a princess, and her husband is more loved by the emperor than King Chen. Although she doesn't want to see Bai Xuan'er, how can she say that King Ling and King Hao are compatriots of the same mother, and they will not let it go at the critical moment. But what qualifications does Baili Lan have to be proud? is not favored, has no heirs, has no family protection, is simply a weed, why should I be afraid of her!
Thinking of this, Zhou An's courage rose sharply, and he said loudly, "Why didn't Prince Chen's side concubine sit down?" You sit in the family seat by yourself, but let the side concubine with the child sit in a remote place, and there is no one to take care of around you, if something happens, can you afford it? Or, Princess Chen is not as generous as the outside world rumores, and she is a jealous woman? ”
"Concubine Ou was afraid that there would be too many people to make noise to the children, so she went to a remote place. Originally, I also wanted her to sit here, but if it was unfortunate that everyone I met was as loud as Princess Hao and behaved rudely like a barbarian, it would be really bad for the child. ”
"You ......"
Bai Lilan's description is not bad, even the people around her who have only seen Zhou An'an's side can see that she is rude and loud. It's just that being said by Bai Lilan so mercilessly is more annoying than slapping her in the face.
Zhou Anan is not a person who can bear his anger, and he will get it back if he is bullied.
Standing up suddenly, Zhou Anan looked at Baili Lan and lowered his voice as much as possible, but among the ladies of the people, it still belonged to the range of rough voices.
"Even if Concubine Ou wants to hide quietly, she doesn't have to hide in a place where you can't see anyone, right? The sound of silk and bamboo is soft, and the noise of people can't be transmitted there, why don't you let Concubine Ou sit closer? ”
"This reason is simpler," Bai Lilan looked at Zhou An'an with pity, thinking that this woman is really not ordinary stupid, specifically looking for this kind of self-inflicted humiliating topic, "Because Xiao Shizi is young, when he sees some fierce and evil people, he will be scared and cry!" ”
"Baililan!" The hand unconsciously touched his waist, but he thought that when he entered the palace today, the black gold whip was placed in the palace. If she had that long whip in her hand at this moment, she would definitely shake that woman's face!
"Inside the palace, why is there such a noise!"
The queen happened to come over to check the preparations for the banquet, and she met Zhou Anan angrily calling Baili Lan by his name. Such unreasonable actions are rare among the people, and they cannot tolerate their occurrence in the court. Just as the queen wanted to punish Zhou An'an, Concubine Qi walked towards the center of the noise.
Rourou gave a salute to the queen, and Concubine Qi raised her voice, "I don't know which one is ignorant and makes the queen so unhappy?" But today is a happy day, so don't be too harsh on the people below. If you make trouble with the emperor and sweep away Longxing, it will not be a good thing for anyone. ”
Bai Xuan'er saw Qi Guifei, left and stood behind her, and obediently greeted An. And Zhou Anan still stood in place coldly, looking at Baili Lan unconvincedly.
Seeing that Concubine Qi was biased, and the queen was not good at stalemate with her, she gave her a favor, said "Don't take it as an example", and left with grace.
After the queen left, Concubine Qi stepped forward, held Bai Xuan'er and Zhou An'an's hands, and said earnestly, "It's all our own family, and we have to take care of each other in everything in the future, but we can't be used by people with intentions, and our elbows are turned outward." Qi Guifei glanced at Bai Lilan pointedly, and then continued, "A family and harmony are better than anything else, fighting all day long will only make people see jokes, remember!" ”
"Yes!"
looked at Zhou An'an and Bai Xuan'er with satisfaction, and then greeted all the ladies and ladies for a while before Concubine Qi left.
After Qi Guifei's order, Bai Xuan'er naturally didn't dare to get too close to Baili Lan. But sitting next to Zhou An'an, a slut, made her lose her appetite. After thinking about it, Bai Xuan'er was happy, got up and walked to Baili Lan's side, and said apologetically, "Third sister-in-law, I'm not feeling well, and the noise over there gives me a headache." Isn't that okay, let's change the position and let me stay with you for a while? ”
"Not good!" Bai Lilan refused without thinking, and said coldly, "It's obviously the same place, where is there any noise or not." Isn't it that Princess Hao has a fox smell, which makes you unbearable for a moment? ”
"Who do you say has ...... Body odor! As soon as Zhou Anan slapped the table, he was going to reason with Baili Lan. But half of the words came out, and I remembered that I had just been criticized for being rude, so I could hold back my tone and spit out the last two words.
"I didn't say that Princess Hao has fox odor, I mean, if you don't have fox odor, why can't Princess Ling tolerate it for a moment. You have to go to Princess Ling for this matter, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
In a word, he threw the question to Bai Xuan'er, and Bai Xuan'er was so angry.
Sure enough, if the wolf is not raised well, it will be bitten back. But Baili Lan's mouth, it's too fast!
Sneering back in her seat, Bai Xuan'er explained, "The third sister-in-law is joking, haha-"
Not long after, the dinner officially began, the emperor and queen and a cadre of concubines and concubines had fun, and the ministers and officials praised the emperor of Bac Ninh in unison, praised God for bless Bac Ninh, and made the mighty general invincible.
Hearing such a scene, Bai Lilan sneered again and again. The officers and men at the front are fighting bloody battles, and I am afraid that they will not even be able to drink hot soup. And these rich people in the rear, who are rich and powerful, pretend to celebrate in their name. Those who are truly meritorious, but do they still have the life to come back and enjoy it? Perhaps it is precisely because of this that these eunuchs are so eager to take advantage of others.
After drinking a few glasses of wine with everyone, Baili Lan felt extremely bored. After searching around, he saw Ozhilan in a corner. And that woman is also powerful, although she was ridiculed, she can talk and laugh at the moment, and mingle with the ladies around her. Looking at Bai Xuan'er and Zhou An'an, although they were sitting together, they did not communicate during the whole process, and their sitting posture was stiff. Bai Xuan'er tried her best to greet the women around her, smiling properly. But on the other hand, Zhou An'an had a completely cold face, bowed his head and was silent. Baili Lan is very curious, how did a woman like Zhou Anan subdue Su Yihao to be submissive? looked at it again, and saw Su Yihao, who had never met. It was a man who looked very sunny, with a flawless smile and a sense of uprightness. But people in the royal family can't judge people by their appearance, isn't he an example?
Picking up the wine glass in front of him funny, Baili Lan poured himself a drink, which can be regarded as leisurely.
"Mrs. Li, look, I said that the Queen Mother will not be here today, if that is the case!"
Baili Lan's ears were very pointed, and the moment she lowered her eyebrows, she heard the two people at the next table secretly chatting about something.
