51. Cliché stratagems
"Ah He, Ah Miao come in." The Queen Mother shouted loudly to the gatekeepers.
With the shouts of the Queen Mother, two old ladies walked in.
"Ah He, you take Minhe to the west side hall to watch, and don't allow her to step out of the door for half a step. Ah Miao, you take the 'competent person' to check on me to find out who wants to do something at this palace banquet today------------ especially to check on Xiaosi. The Queen Mother's voice became more and more severe.
After listening to the instructions, Mama He and Mama Miao bowed their heads in response, and then went to work quickly.
They were guarding at the gate of the hall, although there was some distance, but they could hear some intermittently, knowing that the Queen Mother was really angry.
As old men who have served the Queen Mother for many years, they naturally know that the eldest princess of Changle and the county lord of Zhaoyang are both the queen mother's counterscales.
"Ning'er," the Queen Mother beckoned Liu Xinning to step forward, "Don't be afraid, I will secretly let people guard you, and I will definitely not let you have anything to do in the palace." ”
"Ning'er listens to her grandmother."
Liu Xinning saw the Queen Mother to investigate, and she had the intention of administering justice to her. and sent someone to protect her safety, which was naturally envied.
"Don't put it on your face. Think about it, if you show a little bit, then Xiao Si won't do anything today. Today we happened to get the news that he had something to do. If he stops today and does it later, how do you catch him? So, for Ning'er's sake, you also have to take care of the color on your face. You'll come with me later, show your face and come back. ”
The Queen Mother looked at her puffing biological daughter and said helplessly.
When the eldest princess heard the Queen Mother's words, she felt that it made sense, so she quickly put away the Yun color on her face, and stepped forward to help the Queen Mother up flatteringly.
"Good, good, good. I'll follow my mother's side today, show my face and come back. ”
The Queen Mother looked at the eldest princess and Liu Xinning's equally admiring appearance, thinking that Liu Xinning was going to be married next year, the princes in the palace were all in a floating mood, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
After a while, someone from the palace came to invite the Queen Mother to the banquet.
The Queen Mother took the eldest princess and Liu Xinning to the banquet together.
I saw that the emperor was already sitting in a high position, and everyone was seated one after another according to the rank.
The queen mother called the eldest princess of Changle to serve by her side, and Liu Xinning went to her seat with the palace people.
The palace banquet began, and various songs and dances were performed.
The banquet was staggered, and it was not lively.
After drinking three glasses of wine, the Queen Mother said that she was going to leave the table, and everyone quickly stood up to send them off.
"Ning'er, after the banquet is over, you will come to Ciren Palace to accompany the mourning family, and you will go out of the palace directly with your mother when you turn around."
With the support of the eldest princess, the Queen Mother walked to Liu Xinning's side and said.
Liu Xinning hurriedly responded.
Since he had to leave the palace after going to Ciren Palace, if the four princes had to make a move, they had to do it before the banquet ended.
The Queen Mother left, and Liu Xinning sat back in her seat.
When the emperor also went to change clothes after lifting wine, Liu Xinning's clothes were also sprinkled with wine by the 'accidental' palace maid.
Here it comes!
Liu Xinning said secretly in her heart.
"The county lord spares his life."
The honest palace maid who had served Liu Xinning at the palace banquet all night hurriedly knelt down and prayed.
"It doesn't matter. It's just 'spilling' the drink, and changing the clothes. ”
Cliché, cliché.
Why do they think that such a cliché scheme will definitely fall for themselves?
However, if she brought the palace maids from the Queen Mother's palace to serve, who would be the 'accidental' person at this time?
Liu Xinning's gaze couldn't help but glance at the fourth princess who had always been restless in the seat next to her.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. The maid will take you to Yingfu Palace to tidy up, can you? The palace maid asked cautiously.
"It doesn't have to be that much trouble. I just went to Ciren Palace to change it. Liu Xinning refused.
According to common sense, she who is thinking normally will indeed go to Ciren Palace to tidy up.
Even if she wants to take advantage of the trend, she can't let go of the water like this.
"Ask the lord of the county for mercy. If the Queen Mother looked at her maid so carelessly, she would definitely be punished heavily. Please be gracious, and the servant will take you quietly to Yingfu Palace for a change. Please be gracious. The maid pleaded pitifully.
The palace maid knelt down and pleaded after sprinkling Liu Xinning's wine, but because of the small range of movements and small voice, it was not eye-catching.
At this moment, the palace maid's kowtow and pray, even if she was careful, still attracted the attention of the people next to her.
"Cousin Zhaoyang, you see that this palace maid is careless, why don't you follow her to Yingfu Palace to change?"
The first to speak was Liu Xinning's seventh princess, who was known for being a good person.
After the princess and Lu, there is a title, so the seventh princess, who is only thirteen years old now, naturally has no title.
"That's right. Zhaoyang, you have a good heart, just pity this palace maid, right? I saw Mama glaring at her. If you go to the palace of the imperial grandmother, I am afraid that the punishment will be heavier. "The second one to speak was the fourth princess.
Liu Xinning seemed to be smiling and taking advantage of the situation, "Okay." I'll go with you to Yingfu Palace to change clothes. ”
After hearing this, the palace maid quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Then for the rest of her life, she looked grateful to Dade, which made the seventh princess feel that she had done good things again.
Liu Xinning followed the palace maid and walked out, and soon arrived at the Yingfu Palace for the guests to rest temporarily.
Yingfu Palace is close to the 'Jeonying Hall' for banquets, and there are many small courtyards with single doors and detached families.
Each courtyard is not big, but it is just a main house and two wings. It is specially prepared for the officials and relatives who enter the palace to go to the banquet to rest and change clothes.
At this moment, the courtyard where Liu Xinning is located is the Cherry Blossom Courtyard, and it is also the courtyard where the four princes and the four princesses quarreled in the afternoon.
The gate of the cherry blossom courtyard is only ten steps away from the east gate of Yingfu Palace.
It is indeed close to the palace gate, and it is easy to be overheard and easily bumped into by others......
"County Lord, this is your spare clothes, please hurry up and change into them." The maid opened a bag and revealed the clothes inside.
Because their own subordinates could not come in to serve, the spare clothes of the young ladies were placed in the inverted room at the entrance of the Yingfu Palace, and they were specially guarded by the palace people.
If any lady wants to change clothes, she can take it directly to the small yard.
Liu Xinning looked at the wet clothes on her body and couldn't help laughing.
It was cold in winter, and everyone naturally wore thick clothes.
But in the palace of the banquet, there are also a lot of charcoal basins burned, at least you don't need to wear a big hat or something.
But even so, the dresses on everyone's bodies are very thick.
Therefore, when the palace maid was not careful, she directly gave up the wine glass, but poured the whole pot of wine on Liu Xinning's body.
Therefore, at this time, Liu Xinning was not only wet on the outside, but also on the middle coat.
If you change your clothes, you'll only be left with close-fitting clothes.
Well, when she was changing her clothes, there must have been a man who had gone wrong and came in to see it, and then it was either the man's wife or someone--------- or maybe the emperor's boss, and he began to come in and break it.
No, it's not.
Her identity is so prominent, even if she is broken, as long as she is sealed, she may not have to marry that person.
Unless......
Liu Xinning's eyes narrowed.
Unless, the wood is already in the boat. Then, she had to marry the man.
However, the man was married and had a prominent wife. Therefore, she can only be a concubine.
Liu Xinning began to imagine the story while watching the palace maid spread her clothes on the couch one by one.
However, is it because she is too ordinary and harmless, so the methods against her are so simple, crude and cliché?
