Chapter 563: Hongmen Banquet
She said that she was going to kneel down for Xie Songhua.
Of course, Xie Songhua can't afford this.
She hurriedly helped the person up, only thought for a while, and then nodded: "Madam, please rest assured, I have had several interactions with Sister Ye, she is a wonderful girl, if something really happens, I will not stand idly by."
But what will happen at this banquet, to be honest, I really don't know what to expect, so I can't promise anything to Madame, I hope you can understand."
"Of course, of course!" Duchess Guo's face was suddenly full of excitement, she held Xie Songhua's hand, and nodded again and again, "As long as there is this sentence from the princess, my heart will be much more steady, if there is anything I need to help in the future, the princess can just speak."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
After sending the people away, Xie Songhua frowned.
Everyone knows that this banquet is a poor dagger, can the third prince really endure it like this?
After waiting for a day, the day before the banquet, there was no one in sight on the street.
With such a solemn atmosphere, it seems that nothing happens and is sorry for the current posture of the two sides.
Xie Songhua couldn't help but think of Zhou Yuan, and I don't know how Zhou Yuan planned at this time.
Will she refuse the queen's invitation to a banquet?
But just thinking about it, she knew that she would definitely not go, and if she went, she would be a hostage of the third prince, no matter what, she would take her life out.
Seeing that the night was falling little by little, the house was also busy.
It's just that the busyness is hidden in the dark, and only the sound of low steps can be faintly heard.
Even Xie Songhua's courtyard was guarded.
Steward Huo took people back and forth to check back and forth a few times, and then walked in to greet her, "I'm afraid there will be some small people at night, don't worry about the princess, everything in the mansion is ready, and it will definitely not surprise the princess."
What a small man, it's just that tonight is the last chance for tomorrow's banquet, if the three princes make a move, they should do it tonight.
Xie Songhua knew that there was actually no danger in the palace, but she couldn't help but be infected by the atmosphere in front of her, and she also became nervous.
When she is nervous, she is easy to think too much, but at this time, she can't think too much.
So after she glanced at the things in the East Cross Courtyard, she spread out the proclamation and simply practiced the words calmly.
Just now that she felt a little calmer, the window behind her suddenly sounded, startling her, and she turned around but saw nothing.
After being suspicious for a while, he checked again and again, and made sure that no one was outside, so he closed the window again, and bolted it together.
When I returned to the bookcase, I found that there was an extra note on it.
This caused a thin layer of sweat to immediately form on her back.
Holding the note, Xie Songhua felt that her breathing had become heavier, she turned her face and looked around, there was nothing suspicious.
When the note was unfolded, Xie Songhua saw at a glance that it was Xiao Yu's words.
I don't know why, she always feels that Xiao Yu's handwriting is a little inconsistent with his people.
Because this stroke of the word is really a little too square.
But it's also really easy to remember.
I don't know who he let in, but thinking that since it was his person, it made perfect sense to be able to sneak in unharmed.
I don't know if it's because of his note, Xie Songhua felt a lot calmer, she hooked her lips and took a piece of paper again, this time, she wrote the whole side completely.
Just as this piece of paper was finished, Steward Huo came again.
Unless Xie Songhua called him, or there was something important, generally speaking, he would rarely run to the main courtyard by himself.
I came here once in the evening, but I'm here again, I'm afraid something important will happen.
Sure enough, as soon as Steward Huo saw her, he said, "There is another person in the palace, saying that His Majesty will also participate tomorrow."
As he spoke, he held two more
A tray came over, "This is a few sets of palace clothes sent by the queen mother, saying that it is to choose one set according to the princess's preference to change in, the queen mother means, please don't be too plain in dressing up, Your Majesty is recovering from a serious illness, and you should be lively and festive."
Of course, these words were not really said to these inner women, and the news must have spread to the city gates.
In fact, it is to deter the three princes who are extremely responsive. ap.
At this time, the city gate has been closed, and whether the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will open the door at this time is a test of the determination and decision-making power of the three princes.
Xie Songhua simply wrote another word, and when his wrist was a little sore, he put the pen down.
Then go to sleep peacefully.
I slept until dawn, and I didn't even dream.
It was quiet outside, too, and it was clear that nothing had happened last night.
It seems that the third prince is still cowardly and does not dare to make a move at this time.
After all, at this time, the queen had already explained that Emperor Yufeng was fine, so he was a teacher, even if he killed the prince, it would be difficult to ascend to the throne, but he made a wedding dress for the six princes and others.
Then it depends on the performance of the crown prince and queen today.
Xie Songhua asked people to change into the plain palace clothes prepared yesterday, but she didn't change the palace clothes sent by the queen, without him, she really didn't like those clothes hooked with gold and silver threads, and there were several catties of weight on her plain body.
If she is not pure, she naturally has her own way of dressing.
After a hearty lunch at home, he boarded the carriage to the palace.
The time of the queen's banquet was in the afternoon, saying that it was just spring, and no one appreciated the spring scenery of the imperial garden, which was really lonely, so she invited people to go over and be lively together.
When Xie Songhua came, there were already a lot of carriages parked at the gate of the first palace of the inner palace.
But with the privilege of King Chen's Mansion, she can take a carriage all the way inside.
I arrived at the queen's Kunning Palace first, and saw Empress Zhao with a smile on her face at a glance.
The Empress Zhao I saw this time is not the same person at all as the sick beauty I saw for the first time.
As soon as she saw Xie Songhua, she greeted her lively, "I haven't seen Princess Chen coming to the palace for a long time, and the palace is worried that you won't come today!"
"Niangniang has been busy taking care of Your Majesty, and now that everyone is coming like this, I think it means that Your Majesty is getting better, how can the concubine be absent from such an important matter?"
said and sincerely sighed that the queen was subjected to Yunyun, both horizontal and vertical are some false politeness, the speaker is not distracted, and the listener is not deaf.
At this time, the queen glanced at the clothes on her body in surprise, "Why didn't the princess wear the clothes sent by the palace, but they didn't fit her heart?"
Xie Songhua hurriedly stepped back and saluted, "I was about to ask my mother for sin, those maids in the concubine's mansion really couldn't get on the table, I thought that today's banquet of Niangniang would take a good bath, but the maid was clumsy and knocked over a bottle of perfume on her clothes.
I originally wanted to bring it over and call it directly to my mother, but I am afraid that it will ruin my mother's good interest today."
When the queen heard this, she smiled and said, "What is this, I still want you to ask for sin, but just a few clothes, the princess has a natural appearance, and she is more beautiful than she wears anything."
At this time, there were already a number of women coming, and after the two of them had exchanged pleasantries, they came to salute Xie Songhua.
I didn't expect Qi to come over.
It's just that seeing the Qi family today really surprised Xie Songhua.
It had only been since she had looked much haggard, and even her temples seemed to be stained with some frost.
But next to her are the old lady and the Yu family, seeing her old lady beckoning again and again, in front of outsiders, it is naturally the mother and son filial piety, so lively.
Empress Zhao seemed to have just discovered Qi's illness, and then said, "Ah, this palace was just worried that some people would deliberately be lazy and not come that day, so she deliberately said that, how did you think that everyone would take it seriously, Mrs. Xie is sick like this, how can she sit still?"
Old Madam Xie hurriedly said, "Thank you for your compassion, I heard that this daughter-in-law heard that it was a banquet held by Niangniang.
The post also named her, and she was so happy that her heavy body felt lighter."
Empress Zhao smiled and said, "Don't be reckless, if you really feel uncomfortable, you must say it first."
When I said this, I didn't even mean to release people, which shows the edge behind Yan Yan.
