Chapter 701 So What?
Baoqin saw that the imperial concubine was lazy, and because the jewelry on her head was too heavy, she refused to dress up like this, and emphasized again and again.
"You have to believe in slaves, slaves will not harm you, you will definitely not go wrong in this dress!"
Mo Hua reminded: "It's almost time, it's time for the empress to set off."
Xiao Xixi asked, "Where's the emperor?"
Ink Painting: "The emperor is still in Changle Palace, and it seems that he will go to Country Pavilion with the Empress Dowager."
Xiao Xixi wanted to nod her head to show that she knew, but because the gilded corolla on her head was too heavy, she was afraid that the corolla would fall when she lowered her head, so she could only emit a single syllable from her nose.
"Um."
Baoqin helped her to sit in the sedan chair.
The honor guard of the imperial concubine moved slowly forward.
When they arrived at Country Pavilion, there were already many people in Country Pavilion, most of them were concubines and concubines of various palaces.
Compared with the number of the late emperor's concubines, Luo Qinghan's number of concubines is obviously much smaller, and since he has no children now, the number of people attending the banquet is even less.
When everyone saw the imperial concubine coming, they got up and greeted each other.
Xiao Xixi is wearing a rouge red waist-pinching skirt today.
His waist was slenderly bound by a belt, as if he could not grasp it.
The chest is embroidered with layers of peony flowers, and is matched with a lotus-colored large-sleeved shirt with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread.
The red shawl hung between his arms, and the long skirt dragged across the white marble floor.
Although the gilt corolla is very heavy, it is really beautiful. It is inlaid with rubies, which contrast with her delicate red lips, and set off her whole person with beauty and elegance.
The eyes of the audience were all focused on her, whether they were jealous, envious, or scrutinized, and so on.
In order to prevent the flower crown on her head from falling off, Xiao Xixi raised her chin slightly and did not dare to move.
Her appearance fell into the eyes of everyone, and she felt more and more aura of her.
Some people sighed secretly, she really deserves to be a noble concubine, this momentum is absolutely incredible!
Xiao Xixi walked to her seat step by step and sat down.
When she sits down, others will dare to sit down.
There were melons and fruits for refreshment on the table, Xiao Xixi wanted to eat it, but he didn't dare to lower his head, for fear that the flower crown would fall.
She could only scratch her neck, keep her upper body still, stretch out her two claws, and fumble around on the fruit plate, just touching a bunch of grapes.
She grabbed a grape, brought it in front of her, and peeled it carefully.
After finally peeling the skin, just as I was about to put it in my mouth, I heard someone approaching and calling.
"Greet your concubine's concubine."
Xiao Xixi grabbed her hands, and the grapes slid down and fell on her skirt.
Immediately, she had the urge to scold someone.
Ahhh!
She finally peeled the grapes!
It just fell off!
Just when she was about to quietly pick up the grape and eat it.
The man in front of him spoke again.
"I heard that the emperor is having a meal at Changle Palace at noon today?"
Xiao Xixi took a deep breath, raised her head, looked at the person who came, and found that it was Chen Wanyi.
Chen Wanyi was looking at the imperial concubine with a smile.
Xiao Xixi raised the corner of her mouth and showed a professional smirk: "So."
Chen Wanyi smiled again: "Did that mother-in-law know that Lu Jieyu is also in Changle Palace today?"
Xiao Xixi's fingers have quietly pinched the grape that fell on the skirt.
While thinking about whether it was clean or not, she replied perfunctorily.
"So what?"
Chen Wanyi was a little surprised when she saw the imperial concubine's lack of interest.
She thought that the imperial concubine would be very concerned about the emperor's closeness to Lu Jieyu, but she did not expect that the imperial concubine had no intention of looking into it at all.
Xiao Xixi asked, "Is there anything else?"
Chen Wanyi embarrassed: "It's okay, my concubine is disturbing."
As soon as she left, Xiao Xixi quickly picked up the grape and threw it into her mouth, chewing it and eating it.
So sweet!
She stretched out her claws and grabbed another grape.
Many people present were secretly observing the imperial concubine. When they saw Chen Wanyi looking for the imperial concubine, they were all waiting to see the show.
Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine sent Chen Wanyi away with only three or two sentences.
Don't say it's angry, the imperial concubine didn't even have a superfluous look from beginning to end, she was carrying a noble and glamorous!
It was impossible to see a good show, and everyone was quite disappointed.
Of course, there are those who are not convinced, and deliberately lead the topic of discussion to Concubine Xiao.
Many people know that the imperial concubine can be favored because she looks like Concubine Xiao.
Presumably Concubine Xiao is a thorn in her heart.
"I heard that when the emperor was still the prince, he loved Concubine Xiao very much, but it's a pity that she had a bad life and left early."
"Yeah, if she's still there..."
The following words were not finished, but everyone knew in their hearts that many people peeked at the imperial concubine, with a bit of mockery.
If Concubine Xiao's master was there, where would there be a place for the substitute of Concubine Concubine? !
Concubine Jing frowned slightly: "Don't say a few words!"
The chatter immediately went down a lot.
Concubine Jing looked at the imperial concubine and comforted.
"Sister, don't take their words to heart. Concubine Xiao is long gone. No matter how much the emperor loves her, it won't hinder you."
Xiao Xixi said indifferently: "Well, it really can't hinder this palace."
Concubine Jing was stunned.
She was obviously surprised by the imperial concubine's answer.
When a normal person encounters such a situation, shouldn't they be humble?
But why didn't the imperial concubine follow the routine? !
Concubine Jing didn't know how to answer for a while.
After a long while, she let out a smile.
"Sister is really straightforward. Say what you want. No wonder the emperor likes you so much. Let's have tea together another day."
Xiao Xixi didn't like drinking tea, and said vaguely, "Let's talk about it."
Before she knew it, she had already emptied all the grapes in the fruit bowl.
She took the handkerchief from Baoqin, wiped her fingers, held up the tea cup, and prepared to take a sip of tea.
At this moment, the eunuch's singing suddenly sounded at the door.
"The Emperor is here!"
"The Empress Dowager is here!"
Everyone stood up to greet them.
Xiao Xixi also got up quickly, but because she didn't dare to bow her head, she accidentally knocked over the tea cup in her hand, and the tea wet her sleeves.
At this time, the emperor and the empress dowager had come in.
Xiao Xixi didn't have time to tidy up her clothes, so she walked up to meet him, and blessed the emperor and the empress dowager.
"The concubine welcomes the emperor and the empress dowager."
Luo Qinghan was a little stunned when he saw her outfit.
He stepped forward to help him up.
"Concubine Ai doesn't need to be too polite."
Xiao Xixi straightened up, raised his head and smiled at the emperor in front of him.
That smile was so bright that Luo Qinghan's heartbeat quickened.
She also dresses up on weekdays, but mostly with light makeup, the colors of the clothes are also lighter, and the style is cute and fresh.
Today was the first time I saw her wearing a red dress, a completely different style from usual. She was beautiful and bright, like a blazing fire in the rising sun. It burned into her heart with just one glance, leaving an indelible mark.
