Chapter 23: Troubled and Sleepy

After the disappearance of the Divine Doctor Valley Lord, the daughter of Shangshu Mansion returned again.

With that disfigured face, as soon as Xi Qingyan appeared, everyone gasped.

Because that face is so scary.

No matter how many times they see it, they will feel that the face of the eldest lady of Shangshufu is unbearable, and they can't bear to look at it directly.

"Xi Qingyan, do you know what our palace banquet is for today?"

"You have such a respectful face, and you are still here to participate in this palace banquet, Xi Qingyan, you are really faceless and skinless!"

"Mrs. Shangshu has already taken your sister-in-law out of the palace banquet, are you embarrassed to stay at this palace banquet with a shy face to cheat and cheat?"

How surprising is the appearance of the Valley Lord of the Divine Doctor Valley, and how strong the resistance will be caused by the appearance of this eldest lady of Shangshufu.

"What's wrong with me? May I ask if I'm going to eat your meal? Or are you wearing your clothes? ”

Xi Qingyan went back mercilessly.

"Today's palace banquet was originally prepared for the female dependents of officials above the fifth rank in Kyoto, may I ask, am I not in this ranks as the eldest lady of Shangshufu?"

Xi retorted with a sneer.

"My sister is my sister, my stepmother is my stepmother, they are them, I am me, I believe the reason why I am late today, you all here should be clear!"

There was a fuss just now, and everyone knew that Xi Chuyu had stolen Xi Qingyan's invitation.

"If you all point fingers at me, but each one considers me to be a victim, what is the difference between you and my stepmother and sister?"

"Could it be that you have also done those things behind your backs that are unseemly and can't get on the stage?"

Xi Qingyan was sharp-tongued, and he refuted, which directly made the nobles present speechless.

"You are all high-ranking ladies of the family, before you speak and reproach the behavior of others, first see if your words and deeds are appropriate."

"Since you all know that today is a palace banquet, you should always understand the rules of the palace."

"At least don't make noise in the palace, you should be able to do it, right?"

Xi Qingyan's words not only occupied the moral height, but also had a reasonable basis, and for a while, no one really came up with a reason to refute her.

However, after all, some people don't like her.

For example, Miss Song, who healed her face not long ago.

"Xi Qingyan, what are you arrogant here, even if you meet the entry standards for today's palace banquet, do you think you deserve to stay with us young ladies who have not yet left the cabinet? Is there anyone to welcome you at this feast? ”

"Xi Qingyan, people are self-aware, you are an unmarried and pregnant woman who does not abide by women's morals, and it is a humiliation for all of us to come to today's palace banquet!"

"Guifei Niangniang, I don't want to appear at this palace banquet with Xi Qingyan, an ugly girl!"

"Xi Qingyan looks ugly, and the courtiers are afraid that she will stain the eyes of the concubine and the nobles in the palace! Therefore, dare to ask the concubine to expel this person! ”

Miss Song was worried that her words were not weighty, so she pulled Concubine Dong and the nobles in the palace present with her.

Xi Qingyan looked at Miss Song like this and felt very ridiculous.

"Miss Song, do you regard the palace banquet as a playhouse?"

Xi stepped forward lightly and said with a sneer.

"The state has national laws, the family has family rules, and the palace also has the rules of the palace, Dong Guifei and Concubine Jiang are all concubines in the palace, do you think they will be as superficial as you to judge people by their appearance?"

Xi Qingyan blocked the back road with a word.

Dong Guifei originally thought of Lord Song behind Miss Song, intending to sell her personal favor to Lord Song, but who expected that as soon as Xi Qingyan opened her mouth like this, she couldn't act rashly at all.

"You said that no one welcomed me at this palace banquet, but it's a pity, Miss Song, you are wrong."

Xi Qingyan took out the invitation card in his sleeve.

"Even if all of you don't welcome my arrival, His Royal Highness King Li has sent me an invitation."

"You're ......!"

Miss Song looked at the fake invitation letter in Xi Qingyan's hand, and stomped her feet angrily for a while.

Her makeup today has been completely devoid of grace and beauty in her makeup today.

"Your Royal Highness King Li, do you welcome Miss Ben to this palace banquet?"

Xi Qingyan deliberately angered Miss Song, walked in front of Su Lixiao with a smile on his face, and asked proudly.

Su Lixiao looked at Xi Qingyan's smug expression in front of him, and there was a little more smile in his eyebrows and eyes.

Sure enough, whether it is the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion or the valley master of the Divine Doctor Valley.

Xi Qingyan won't let himself suffer.

"This king personally asked someone to send you an invitation post, and you are so late?"

King Li said this, and it was confirmed that King Li did invite Xi Qingyan, and no matter how much others hated it, it still didn't help.

"Okay, now that everyone has arrived, let's start today's feast!"

Dong Guifei saw that the protagonists of the palace banquet had become Su Lixiao and Xi Qingyan, and she was very unhappy! Today's banquet is for her son Su Yiting to choose a good daughter-in-law!

Today, whether it is King Li's dream of leaving the sky, or whether it is Concubine Jiang's mother, they are all supporting roles! In today's big drama, she wants to push her son to become the focus of everyone!

If everyone else stole the limelight, wouldn't she have wasted so much effort?

"Mother, if it's just eating wine, how boring it should be?"

Shu Yiting instantly understood what Concubine Dong meant, and stepped forward with a smile.

"The chrysanthemums bloom so well at this banquet, why don't we use chrysanthemums as the theme and chant poems?"

"The poetry is too monotonous, the emperor, this woman is virtuous if she is not talented, if this poetry is not allowed to come to the stage of the daughter's family, it will not be good then?"

Dong Guifei stood up and said with a smile.

On the surface, this is to stop Su Yiting and pave the way for the next performance of the noble ladies here.

"Mother, what do you think of this? If we beat the drum and pass the flowers, we point to someone, that person can't recite poems, then she can change to other talents, as long as it can open our eyes, it is not a loss! ”

Su Yiting glanced at the ladies present and said with a light smile.

"I don't know what you young ladies think of Xiao Wang's proposal?"

"The nobles of Kyoto have been secretly cultivated by their families, and even if they are not outstanding, they have more or less one or two things that they can handle.

"Your Highness, Your Highness's idea is excellent!"

Miss Song was the first to take the lead.

After she agreed with Su Yiting's idea, many people followed Miss Song to echo her.

But Miss Song's attention is on Xi Qingyan, she is going to make Xi Qingyan lose in the competition today!

In Miss Song's opinion, Xi Qingyan, who has been disfigured all these years, has been wandering outside, don't say that she wants to practice Chinese and calligraphy, she is afraid that it is not easy to make a living!

She just wants Xi Qingyan to lose face in front of everyone!

Who made Xi Qingyan, an ugly monster who didn't open his eyes, dare to find her bad luck!

Xi Qingyan noticed Miss Song's gaze, but she didn't take Miss Song in her eyes, after all, this simple-minded Miss Song must have thought that she was a straw bag with an empty head.

"Good! Since everyone is so interested, let's get started! ”

Dong Guifei and Shu Yiting sang and harmonized, and the cooperation was seamless.

The drummer who beats the drum and passes the flowers is the palace maid who is waiting next to Concubine Dong, which is clearly a joke!

Xi Qingyan is very shameful for this kind of behavior!

"Brother Li, everyone is involved, if Brother Wang is just standing by and watching, isn't it a little unsociable?"

Seeing that Su Lixiao was lacking in interest, Su Yiting sat on the side with an indifferent face, and deliberately stepped forward to provoke.

"Brother Li Wang has been fighting abroad for many years, and rarely has time to sit down with us to get close and close, today, the weather is so good, and the chrysanthemums are also pleasing to the eye, if Brother Wang does not come, is it not satisfied with all of us here?"

Xi frowned when he heard Yiting's words!

Hiss!

This long-cherished Yiting is still a master who must be repaid!

Just now, she pretended to be the valley master of the Divine Doctor, and teamed up with Su Lixiao to make a little joke with him, and Su Yiting began to take revenge on him when she turned her head!

Everyone knows that since King Li's biological mother Yuan was rumored to have committed adultery with others, and finally hanged himself, His Majesty has turned a blind eye to Su Lixiao.

His Majesty's disgust caused Su Lixiao to be sent to the battlefield at a young age.

Today, he has the name of the God of War, and he relied on his perseverance and talent to fight it little by little!

Su Lixiao is talented in martial arts, but he has been on the battlefield since he was a child, where does he have time to learn anything about dancing and writing?

Poetry and painting are all hobbies cultivated in their spare time.

A person who is precarious on the battlefield, where will there be time to think about those things?

In winter, Dong Guifei drowned Xi Xiaochen in the water, Xi Qingyan knew that Dong Guifei's house was not a good thing, and now it seems that if there is a mother, there must be a son!

This long-cherished Yiting and Concubine Dong Guifei can be described as a raccoon dog!

After listening to Su Yiting's words, Xi Qingyan subconsciously glanced at Su Lixiao, and just this glance happened to meet Su Lixiao's eyes.

Su Lixiao actually saw a little worry in Xi Qingyan's eyes.

This woman is really strange, she herself is precarious, and she still has time to think about him?

However, this glance made Su Lixiao's eyes a little warmer.

"Good!"

After Shu Lixiao dropped a sentence, he sat down next to Xi Qingyan.

Su Yiting also returned to his position.

The drumming and flower passing officially began.

This first lucky person fell on the head of Su Yiting.

He got up, held the flower branch in his hand, and looked confident, then looked at everyone and spoke loudly.

"Purple chrysanthemum, floating palace, morning glow and clouds."

"Good!"

"Your Highness said what you said! Isn't that what we are talking about? ”

"His Royal Highness is quick to think and export, it's really amazing!"

As soon as Su Yiting's words fell, the nobles on the side touted Su Yiting's poems one after another.

Xi smiled lightly and said nothing.

An inexplicable sentence, coupled with some valuable rhetoric, can be touted to such an extent.

Xi Qingyan looked at Dong Guifei's complacent appearance and felt that it was really boring.

After everyone praised it, they began to beat the drum and pass the flowers again, and this time the flowers fell into the hands of Li Wang Shuxiao.

"Brother Li, this hall remembers that Brother Wang has never studied poetry, why don't you play with a sword for us in public?"

Before Su Lixiao spoke, Su Yiting preemptively answered for Su Lixiao.

Juggling the sword.

When I heard this, I was a little ridiculous!

It seems that Su Yiting wants to regard Su Lixiao as a good performer in the palace.

"You're wrong."

Shu Lixiao raised his eyes, glanced at Shu Yiting, and then put the flower branch on the table and spoke loudly.

"What's so hard about composing poetry?"

"Brother Wang, don't you have to say big things, if you can't do it, there will be no steps for you at that time?"

Su Yiting was half dead and half sarcastic, half joking.

"I have verses, you listen, the horse crosses the border chrysanthemum at the beginning of the yellow, the letter horse is long and wild, this chrysanthemum is not the chrysanthemum in the palace, but the autumn chrysanthemum encountered when the king is fighting."
