Lin Qi really didn't like this kind of entertainment, so he simply wanted to put it off.

Lin Qi glanced at it casually, put the invitation next to him, and asked, "This invitation from Concubine Xiao, it's the same if I don't go, right?" ”

[We're both out of the palace, what are you asking me for the banquet in the palace? 】

Jun Yeming's eyes condensed slightly, and asked, "Concubine Xiao?" ”

"yes." Lin Qi nodded, and heard Jun Yeming's cold voice coming: "If it's her, then you have to go." ”

Hearing the wail in Lin Qi's heart, a trace of helplessness crossed Jun Yeming's eyes, and he explained: "Concubine Xiao Guifei has favored the harem for nearly twenty years, and she is in the limelight, and even the queen is not too much...... Do you see what I mean? ”

That's the way to go.

Lin Qi had to accept this cruel truth.

"You need to be careful when you go this time." As soon as Jun Yeming's voice fell, he couldn't help but sigh at a pair of blank eyes: "As far as I know, Concubine Xiao has a sister-in-law who is from the Xiao family with her, and now she is the princess of the second prince." ”

In this way, Xiao Guifei seems to have an impure purpose.

With the relationship between the second prince and her, it can be said that they are not together, and the second princess probably hates herself. If Concubine Xiao is willing to help this sister join forces to rectify her, I am afraid it will be easy.

Lin Qi's good-looking brows frowned slightly, which was interesting now.

"Okay, thanks for the reminder, I'll pay attention."

In the evening, Concubine Xiao Guifei sent a palace car to pick her up, and Lin Qi changed her dress and boarded the car.

The car rolled away.

Jun Yeming's face was calm, and as soon as he raised his hand, several secret guards suddenly appeared in the room, kneeling in front of him.

"Follow her into the palace, remember, protect her."

Several of the guards responded in unison, and disappeared from the room in an instant.

After getting out of the palace car, a palace maid who led the way came over and whispered: "The fourth princess, please come with the slaves." ”

As he spoke, he led Lin Qi through the flower corridor rockery and walked to the back garden where the palace banquet was held.

Lin Qi raised his eyes and looked around.

There were many nobles here, and Concubine Xiao was sitting in the pavilion headed by her, and several palace maids were beating her legs.

The ladies were talking and laughing, but when they saw Lin Qi coming over, they all cooled down.

"Yo, isn't this the fourth princess?" A woman in a goose yellow dress looked Lin Qi up and down, without a trace of respect in her eyes, but exchanged a disdainful look with the noble girl next to her.

Lin Qi sneered in his heart, knowing that this good show that came for him was about to start.

She simply stopped, and took a moment to look at a few noble ladies who were not good.

Sure enough, the woman raised her chin proudly and said loudly: "I heard that if you marry the queen of Bei'an, you will be defeated by the order of the king of Bei'an, and you will be as unlucky as him from now on." ”

"When our sisters heard that you were coming to the palace banquet today, they were all scared. Fourth princess, it's enough for you husband and wife to be unlucky, but don't pass on bad luck to us. ”

As soon as these words came out, the nobles around them all hid their faces and laughed.

Lin Qi clenched his fists, and Yu Guang looked at Xiao Guifei, only to see that she was still drinking tea and shaking her fan in the pavilion, smiling, and had no intention of stopping.

She took a deep breath, put a smile on her face, and asked, "You know that I am the fourth princess, why don't you salute me?" ”

The woman never expected Lin Qi to be so sharp, and her face suddenly turned red.

According to the law, the status of the princess is naturally higher than theirs, so it is a matter of course to salute Lin Qi, but how could she be willing to salute Lin Qi!

"You ......" The woman was about to have a seizure, but she was pulled by the noble girl next to her.

"Yun'er, you are really getting more and more confused, the princess is broad-minded, how can she care about you? The princess is just joking with us. ”

This noble girl's name is Wen Tao, and she speaks softly and gently, but she is squeezing Lin Qi inside and outside her words.

If Lin Qi insists on settling accounts, he will be put on a narrow-minded hat.

Lin Qi was completely laughed at.

Wen Taoxiao was harmless to people and animals, walked to Lin Qi's side, blessed his body slightly, and said with a smile: "Fourth princess, Tao'er has actually admired the princess for a long time, but she has never had the opportunity to see her, and now when she sees it, it is really extraordinary." ”

This is true, if he didn't know that the other party was prepared, Lin Qi would almost have believed her nonsense.

Today's palace banquet, why don't you sit with us? Wen Tao got closer at this time and reached out to pull Lin Qi.

Lin Qi frowned, and was about to avoid it, but in the next second, a violent push struck.

She stood on the uneven gravel road, next to the bottomless lotus pond.

Not good!

However, it was too late.

Before Lin Qi fell into the water, he only had time to see Wen Tao's smiling face.

Seeing Lin Qi fall into the water, there was an uproar around, but no one was ready to go into the water to save people.

Lin Qi barely struggled, so there was only a splash on the surface of the water, and he regained his calm.

Wen Tao seemed to be frightened by the sudden change, and said with tears in her eyes for a while: "I, I just want to invite the princess to sit with us, why did she fall?" ”

The ladies stepped forward one after another to comfort, "It's just that the fourth princess didn't stand firm, what does it have to do with you?" ”

When Concubine Xiao Guifei saw Lin Qi falling into the water, her eyes finally swelled with a little interest, and the palace maid who was beating her legs came over.

Looking at the lotus pond that was no longer rippling, Concubine Xiao Guifei smiled and ordered unhurriedly: "What are you doing stupidly, go find some people to rescue the four princesses." ”

"Whoa—"

The water burst open, and a man emerged.

Lin Qi floated on the surface of the water, breathing in the fresh air.

Xiao Guifei was startled, and couldn't help but take a step back, scrutinizing and looking at Lin Qi.

I didn't expect this girl to have such a big life, and she fell into the pool, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Finally climbed ashore, Lin Qi looked at Wen Tao coldly, and said, "You just pushed me into the water, I will report to the emperor truthfully." ”

Wen Tao's face turned white, and she said stiffly: "Why did the princess wronged Tao'er?" Tao'er just pulled the princess, and didn't push it at all. ”

Lin Qi felt physiological disgust at this green tea face.

Xiao Guifei said lightly: "Your own foot slipped, why should you implicate others?" Give them a hundred dares, and they will not dare to plot against you. ”

"Okay, look at your disheveled appearance, how ugly it is, why don't you go and change your clothes quickly." After Xiao Guifei finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she turned around and returned to the main seat.

Lin Qi gritted his teeth and silently wrote down this account in his heart.

"Fourth princess, the locker room is here." After Lianxiang finished speaking, she left in a hurry.

Looking at Lianxiang's hurried appearance, Lin Qi subconsciously felt tired.

As she pondered, a figure mixed with the smell of sweat swooped down from one side.
