Chapter 293: The Empress's Troubles
On the contrary, it is this Jiang Yuyan who has been extraordinarily safe recently. If she hadn't been fighting with Xue Lingyao, she would have no sense of existence in the mansion where she wanted to settle down.
Shi Miaoyu's expression swept around the faces of the two of them, and then casually withdrew his gaze and entered the main hall of Fengyi Palace.
Swept by Shi Miaoyu's expression, Xue Lingyao instantly felt a layer of goosebumps, only to feel that the look in his eyes was so cold that he almost froze himself.
On the contrary, Jiang Yuyan didn't seem to see it, but just followed Shi Miaoyu's footsteps and went in together.
Seeing this, Xue Lingyao also stomped her feet, took a deep breath to calm the expression on her face, turned around and walked in.
As the voice of the inner attendant sounded, Shi Miaoyu's voice also followed: "The courtiers greet the queen." ”
Hearing her voice, everyone was silent for a moment, and they all looked at her.
According to her identity, Shi Miaoyu was one of the best in this one, so many noble ladies stood up and saluted her: "I've seen Princess Anling." ”
Shi Miaoyu nodded and smiled, signaling them to be exempted, and then heard the queen's voice coming: "Where are so many false courtesies, take a seat." ”
Shi Miaoyu thanked the queen, glanced at the position in the hall imperceptibly, and walked towards the seat on the left.
There are two vacant seats there, and the other one is not known to be left to whom, but unless it is the old man of the three dynasties who is super first-class, it is impossible to be higher than Shi Miaoyu.
Therefore, Shi Miaoyu sat down on the lower left since the past, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.
Ever since she came in, the people in the hall have been looking at Shi Miaoyu as if they were nothing. Shi Miaoyu faced it calmly, but Xue Lingyao behind him looked a little embarrassed.
The queen's palace is not small, but there are many people today, so there is only the position of the concubine.
Last time, she came with Shi Miaoyu and the three of them, and she was fortunate to be given a seat by the queen. But on this occasion, the concubines in other people's mansions are all standing, and the side concubines of Anling Wangfu are naturally not arranged to be seated.
She and Jiang Yuyan can only stand behind the master mother like those concubines.
Although the side concubine sounds more beautiful on weekdays, and she is also on the royal family tree, she can be regarded as half of the master who is recognized. But when it comes to those occasions that need to be attended, when there are trade-offs, the side concubine is still equal to the concubine.
The identity of the side concubine is more noble. But the royal acknowledgement that you are the master, and you are the master. When the royal thinks you should be a minion, then you are a minion.
And now, she's a minion.
This realization made Xue Lingyao look ugly. Although she kept her head down, she always felt that those scrutinizing eyes looked at her with disdain.
After living for so many years, she has always been a proud concubine, who would have thought of marrying this time, but she has become a humble existence!
Her hand was secretly stirring the veil, but she didn't dare to show a dissatisfied look. After all, it is the queen who arranges the seats.
Jiang Yuyan on the side glanced at her, and when she saw Xue Lingyao's entanglement, she couldn't help but smile contemptuously.
What kind of concubines, concubines, concubines, and concubines, only power is the most important. What is the suffering of the moment, and the days to come!
Shi Miaoyu didn't know the eyes and thoughts of the two behind her, and at this time, she was busy dealing with other people's laughter.
The people present are all Zhong Mingding's family, not the hairpins, but also the upstarts of the imperial court.
And among them, it is divided into various factions.
Each faction has its own disputes and cooperation, and when you talk to Shi Miaoyu, you don't know who will stumble on the other party.
Shi Miaoyu is in it, and every sentence must be dealt with carefully, but he has to make a light appearance, and he can't let people underestimate himself.
It was easy to pick up the teacup and take a cup of tea to ease the mood.
I didn't want to hear the message of the inner eunuch outside the door: "Princess Qingluan has arrived-"
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and followed the footsteps and looked out.
Sure enough, I saw a very familiar face.
She never heard the follow-up of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so she left the matter behind. But the appearance of this Qingluan princess made her clearly understand one thing.
What Gu Qingchi said came true, this spicy and brutal little girl was really Princess Qingluan.
Princess Qingluan was dressed in red today, and when she walked, the silver bell on her ankle kept ringing, crisp and pleasant, and it was particularly beautiful.
Although she grew up on horseback, she has rare fair skin. The bright red winter dress sets off her face brightly.
Qingluan walked in quickly and saluted delicately: "Say hello to the queen." ”
Seeing her come in, the queen's face immediately showed a little smile, and she said softly: "Hurry up and excuse the courtesy, give me a seat." ”
Shi Miaoyu only realized at this time who the empty seat next to him was reserved for.
When he came in, there were only these two empty places left in this hall, and Shi Miaoyu picked up one of them and sat down, thinking that the next person to come was a dignitary.
But at this time, it is self-evident who will sit in the only vacant seat.
I don't know if the queen was intentional or unintentional, she actually placed herself and Princess Qingluan together!
Shi Miaoyu was slightly vigilant in her heart, but her face was not leaky.
Princess Qingluan glanced at Shi Miaoyu, her eyes were like knives in an instant, and she immediately covered her emotions, and laughed loudly: "Dare to ask who this is?"
Seeing her ask herself, before Shi Miaoyu could speak, she heard the queen introduce with a smile on her face: "This is Princess Anling, she has the best temperament, and you will like her if you want to come to Qingluan." ”
Because Princess Qingluan was wronged on the first day of junior high school, the emperor asked the queen to appease her. After all, she is a princess of the Northern Desert, and she is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl's house, and it is too stiff and not good-looking.
So these days, Princess Qingluan has been running to the queen's side, if the queen wants to be good to anyone, she will naturally do enough work on that side, plus she is about the same age as Princess Qingluan's mother, so Princess Qingluan is full of good feelings towards the queen at this time.
After hearing the queen's words, Princess Qingluan raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, it turns out that you are Princess Anling, no wonder." ”
When she said this, she tilted her head and smiled: "The princess's temper is indeed good, but Qingluan was reckless and offended you before, and I want to apologize to you." ”
Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears and intuitively felt that there was some gossip here.
And the queen asked with a smile: "What did you say about this? Isn't there some misunderstanding, today in front of the palace, it is better for you to talk about the matter, and then turn the page in the future, so that you can get along." How?"
Hearing this, Princess Qingluan suddenly stomped her feet and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, this is Qingluan's shameful matter, do you really want me to say it?"
"What kind of character are you, don't you know this palace? It's just a child's temperament, but this palace is curious, how did you collide with Princess Anling?"
Seeing that the queen said so, Princess Qingluan bit her lip and said in a puzzled manner: "Qingluan wanted to go to the restaurant to finish eating that day, but who knew that she met the princess." Qingluan didn't know her identity, and there were a few quarrels. But Qingluan has also learned a lesson, and my subordinate is still lying in bed after being beaten. So princess, don't be angry with Qingluan. ”
Seeing the two of them singing and harmonizing, Shi Miaoyu's heart condensed. At this time, she completely understood that there was something unintentional, and it was clearly intentional.
The queen must know about the events of the day, so at this time, there will be a scene where Princess Qingluan apologizes arrogantly and apologizes, but in fact, she asks for the guilt.
And these words directly put a hat on his head.
She glanced at the expressions of the people present without a trace, and sure enough, she saw disdain and contempt.
As a princess, she actually committed murder, and now she asks the princess to apologize to her, which is too unreasonable!
The queen's smile also faded, and she asked, "Princess Anling, is there such a thing?"
I didn't want Shi Miaoyu to open her mouth before she spoke, so she heard the Duchess of Dingguo get up and smile and said: "The queen talked about this, but the courtiers wanted to ask for guilt." That night, the princess went to the restaurant to eat, and there was some conflict with the steward because there was no vacancy, and it happened that the prince and princess went to watch the scenery and implicated the two of them. After that, the princess's servant tried to smash the shop, and the steward in the store was afraid of hurting the prince, so he injured the princess's servant. Counting it, the prince and the princess were accidentally injured from beginning to end, but the sin of the courtiers was greater. Therefore, if you apologize, it should also be an apology from the courtiers. ”
Although the Duchess of Dingguo is old, she is proudly maintained, and she looks the same age as the queen. She has always acted well, and when she said these words at this time, she made things clear and clear, which not only excused Shi Miaoyu and his wife, but also made Princess Qingluan irrefutable.
And those who were there understood what was happening that day.
It turned out that it was not the Anling King and his wife who bullied the weak, but that the princess wanted to bully people.
After all, there is no big hatred with Shi Miaoyu, and Gu Qingchi has always been outside the court, so those ladies of the family are at most lively, but they definitely have no deep hatred.
At this time, they all said good things in turn.
"This is indeed a misunderstanding, Princess Qingluan really doesn't have to take it too seriously. ”
Seeing that the people in this hall quickly began to persuade themselves, Princess Qingluan clenched her hands in anger. She originally wanted to splash Shi Miaoyu with a basin of dirty water, but who knew that not only did she splash it, but also made these ladies of the family feel that they were angry!
This is completely different from what I imagined!
Shi Miaoyu smiled gratefully at the Duchess of Dingguo, and saw the latter bloom a soothing smile at him, which also made Shi Miaoyu's heart settle down.
Next, the princess Qingluan probably felt that she had been hit, so she didn't say a word the whole time, and there were no more moths.
Although she didn't speak, everyone present was very good at observing words and feelings, so after a while, the atmosphere in the hall was warm again, as if none of the embarrassing things had happened before.
It wasn't until the night was hazy and the sky was dark that I heard the inner chamberlain come and go, saying, "It's all ready, do you want to go over now?"
Hearing this, the queen got up first and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go over." ”
Hearing her words, everyone hurriedly got up, smiled and responded "yes", and went with the queen.
Princess Qingluan walked beside her, and at this time she gradually calmed down her previous anger, and while talking to the queen, she was thinking in her heart about how to make her evil breath revenge back.
Because the third princess has been unwell recently, Liu Guifei did not attend tonight's banquet, but the queen sat in the audience.
When he entered the banquet hall, Shi Miaoyu was sitting far away from Princess Qingluan.
Although Princess Qingluan's position was changed to the opposite side of her, at least she didn't have to be next to her like this, which made Shi Miaoyu feel a lot more comfortable.
For this princess of the Northern Desert, Shi Miaoyu really can't appreciate it. Probably because she saw how unreasonable she was in the restaurant before, so at this time, seeing this long-sleeved and coquettish princess Qingluan, Shi Miaoyu only felt extraordinarily hypocritical.
