Chapter 239: Friendship Between Women
The topic of the three princes is too exciting, Lin Xiaoman listened to it with relish, although she couldn't let others know that the scandal between the three princes and the eunuch was created by her, but it did not prevent her from being shocked and showing that she had never seen the world vividly.
With Lin Xiaoman's cooperation at first glance, the people who talked about it were very interested. Although they all know that it is the rumor that the queen deliberately let people release, it does not prevent the fan from fanning the flames and helping the queen.
Why must the queen be behind the scenes? Joke, except for the queen in the palace, who dares to provoke the demon concubine? If it weren't for the queen's instructions, how could the three princes not cover up such a big scandal?
Lin Xiaoman was also very satisfied with this, and was worried that no one appreciated her masterpieces, so someone secretly helped her, but I don't know who this hero is.
The emperor and queen came back half an hour later, the emperor looked gloomy, and the queen was happy, but she didn't see the concubine who had gone out before, I don't know if she was punished by the emperor, or to take care of her emperor who was broken into the ugly thing.
No one dared to talk about it anymore, but the atmosphere at the palace banquet became very strange.
Even the performances of the ladies failed to set off the atmosphere, so that the young ladies who had been carefully preparing for today for a long time also had a bad face, and hated the three princes who caused trouble.
After the emperor drank a few glasses of wine, he ate some more dishes, even if the dishes were carefully prepared by Lin Xiaoman and the imperial chefs, but in the end it was cold, and the taste was somewhat unsatisfactory, the emperor put down his chopsticks after eating a few bites, and looked at the position where the concubine had sat before from time to time. Anyone who looks at it feels lonely.
When the queen occasionally glances at the emperor, her eyes will inadvertently reveal a faint disdain, which shows that even if the relationship between husband and wife exists, it is only on the surface.
Eventually, the emperor got up, whispered a few words to the queen, and left. Looking at the back of him leaving, the queen was not sad, but her expression was visibly relaxed, which showed that she didn't hope that the emperor would stay to celebrate her birthday.
Just after the emperor left, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly improved a lot, and a lady raised her glass and was about to give the queen a few small words to celebrate her birthday, when she suddenly heard a loud shout outside the imperial garden: "There are assassins!" ”
The voice was sharp and thin, suppressing the singing and dancing in the imperial garden, and those who knew it heard that it was Gonggong He, who was waiting beside the emperor, and immediately ran out.
There are assassins who assassinate the emperor, if they behave well at this time, even if they can't be added to the ranks, there will definitely be rewards, even if there is nothing, then they have saved the emperor's life, and they are worried that the official fortune is not developed?
But before anyone could rush out of the gate of the Imperial Garden, they were shot back by a rain of arrows, and several of the arrows that rushed in front fell to the ground, screaming again and again for a while.
The emperor retreated to the imperial garden under the escort of the guards, and Empress Lin Xiaoman's eyes showed a faint disappointment, and she couldn't help but wonder if the assassins outside were arranged by the queen.
At the same time, a firework burst into the sky, and a sharp whistle pierced the night sky, crackling and exploding in the night sky.
Immediately afterwards, a team of guards rushed out of the prosperous building next to the imperial garden, protecting the imperial garden, and there was also a group of people around the emperor and queen to protect it.
What everyone didn't expect was that Lin Xiaoman also had more than a dozen guards in front of him.
After the shock, in order to survive, the unguarded officials and ladies around quietly leaned towards Lin Xiaoman's side.
After a short time, Lin Xiaoman was squeezed in the middle, and from time to time someone stepped on his feet, Lin Xiaoman grinned in pain, but he didn't even know which person stepped on her feet.
Well, even if the people from outside really came in, she was surrounded by so many people, and she couldn't kill her for a while. Similarly, being surrounded so tightly that you can't run away if you want to.
Xu Panxia took one of Lin Xiaoman's hands, "Don't be afraid, the fight outside is so fierce, I think I was prepared for a long time, and I won't kill it." ”
Lin Xiaoman hummed, feeling the trembling and wetness coming from Xu Panxia's little hand, Lin Xiaoman patted her hand, "Don't be afraid, even if you kill in, I will protect you." ”
Xu Panxia didn't believe that Lin Xiaoman could protect her, but with this sentence, Xu Panxia was still very moved, "Well, I also protect you." ”
In a few words, the two became friends in life and death.
Princess Xinyang, who was pushed and squeezed over next to her, snorted coldly, as if she was very disappreciative of the friendship between the two, but Princess Anyang looked at Lin Xiaoman deeply, and when Lin Xiaoman looked at her, she nodded to Lin Xiaoman in a friendly manner.
But there was still curiosity in her eyes, as if she was very interested in Lin Xiaoman, a woman who could provoke the hearts of her royal brothers.
Their mothers are not favored concubines, although they are princesses, they are often crushed by the queen's niece.
In the past, they could still tolerate one or two, but since two years ago, the imperial uncle who grew up with them, after he left Beijing because of his refusal to marry, they hated Xu Panxia and wanted to stab her whenever they met.
Xu felt ashamed, Xu Panxia was more tolerant, and the two princesses mistakenly thought that Xu Panxia was afraid of them.
At this time, seeing Lin Xiaoman and Xu Panxia holding hands, looking like intimacy, I wanted to share what Xu Panxia had done with Lin Xiaoman, so that she could know how shameless Xu Panxia was.
It's just that there are too many people around, and it's inconvenient to talk in a noisy manner, Princess Anyang nodded slightly to Lin Xiaoman, "If there is nothing to do tomorrow, the palace and Xinyang will go to the county lord's mansion to visit." ”
Lin Xiaoman opened her mouth slightly, when has this been, she still wants to visit the door? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get over tonight?
Lin Xiaoman's surprise was a tacit acquiescence in the eyes of Princess Anyang, and she didn't believe that Lin Xiaoman would refuse her visit.
Princess Xinyang also nodded to Lin Xiaoman when she heard this, and then glanced at Xu Panxia with disgust, as if to say why did Lin Xiaoman get close to her?
At this time, the guards who were sent to protect Lin Xiaoman outside, looking at the people who were squeezed into the protective circle and Lin Xiaoman, who was squeezed around, were also speechless.
Although it can be confirmed that Lin Xiaoman is safe, if he is trampled and injured by these people, will the prince blame them for not protecting him? But it's a princess and an official's wife, and none of them dare to pull it out, it shouldn't matter, right?
At this time, the people in the Imperial Garden could not see the situation outside the Imperial Garden, and could only hear the shouts of killing, and everyone was terrified, and even wanted to dig a pit to hide themselves first.
I wanted to rush up to escort the driver before, but after seeing the colleagues in front of me who were shot and fell to the ground, they all lost their courage.
Fortunately, the fighting outside did not take long to subside, and two generals and leaders covered in blood rushed in from outside. In the frightened eyes of everyone, the two knelt down on one knee towards the emperor, "Minister Tang Hai, Minister Deng Pengfei is late to save the driver, please ask the emperor and queen to surrender!" ”
