Chapter 199: A Trip to King's Mansion

At the end of April, it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer. There is neither the chilly coldness at the beginning of spring, nor the scorching heat and impetuosity in midsummer. It is the best time of the year.

Yuchen was wearing a green palace attire, and was lazily lying on the imperial concubine's chair. At this time, Zhiqin came in and said, "Ma'am, Mother Tian, ​​please see me."

Yuchen sat up and said, "Let her in." Fortunately, this Tianmao is sensible, otherwise it would be really annoying to have such a person by her side.

Tian Nanny said: "Madam, the table has been ordered, and it will be delivered directly in the next day." The next day is the tenth prince's 20th birthday banquet, and this table is reserved for that day's birthday banquet.

Yuchen smiled and said, "Mama, you've worked hard."

After Tian Nanny left, Yuchen suppressed her smile, and said to Gui Nanny, "Mommy, what do you mean by the imperial concubine?" Song Ling'er is in confinement, so she shouldn't hold a birthday banquet in the palace. But the imperial concubine personally asked her to hold a birthday banquet for her husband in the palace. Yuchen always felt that something was wrong about this matter.

Sister Quan has been in the palace for so many years, she is very sensitive, and she also sensed that something was wrong. For such an important event as the twentieth birthday of His Royal Highness, the royal concubine's love for the prince should be held in the palace. Concubine Song's behavior is a little beyond common sense, and if something goes wrong, she is a demon: "There are no people in the palace, and I don't know the specific reason. I can only wait and see." No matter what the imperial concubine wants to do, it should not To kill the princess. After all, the concubine still carries His Royal Highness King Jing's flesh and blood in her stomach.

The Han family naturally received Wangfu's post. Because Yu Xi's wedding was in mid-May, she would not attend no matter whose family's banquet it was. Yuxi received a separate post from Prince Jing's Mansion asking her to attend the tenth prince's birthday banquet, Yuxi felt very strange. .

Yuxi said to Nanny Quan, "I'm going to get married in half a month. Why would Third Sister let me attend His Royal Highness King Jing's birthday banquet?" Know this principle. But she knew this, but still let her go, always felt very strange.

Aunt Quan didn't think much about it, and said: "Your Majesty must be thinking about the girl, and she must go to talk to her." She had to tell the truth. Yuchen just wanted to find someone to talk to, and Yuxi was the best candidate.

Yu Xi said, "But I don't want to go." There was one thing she couldn't tell Sister Quan. For the past two days, she has been restless, always feeling that something is about to happen. This feeling came out of nowhere, after all, she was about to get married, so something bad could happen.

Quan Momo didn't expect that Yuxi didn't want to go to His Highness's birthday banquet, and said, "Girl, since the concubine asked you to go by name, if you don't go, you will lose face to your majesty."

Yuxi didn't listen to Nanny Quan's persuasion, but went to the main courtyard and told Qiu that she didn't want to attend Yuchen's birthday banquet.

Qiu didn't care: "If you don't want to go, don't go. After you get married, you will go to the palace to visit the concubine. I believe the concubine won't mind." If you don't go to the palace, you don't need to find a reason, just say you don't have time to go. Yuxi is going to get married in half a month, and it makes sense to be busy when she has to prepare for the wedding.

Yuxi smiled and nodded.

Unexpectedly, after talking about this with Qiu that day, the old lady summoned her the next day. When the old lady saw Yu Xi, the first thing she said was to ask Yu Xi why she didn't want to go to the palace.

Yuxi didn't know why the old lady intervened in this matter, so she could only use the reason Qiu Shi gave her: "The wedding is approaching, I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time."

The old lady said: "His Royal Highness King Jing's birthday is on the second day of junior high school, and there are still more than ten days before your wedding date, so you will not be delayed. Besides, it's not too late to be busy." Seeing Yu Xi bowing her head and not saying a word,

The old lady said: "You know how Yuchen has treated you these years. Letting you go to the prince's birthday banquet this time is also a compliment to you."

Yuxi felt a little stuck in her heart, what is meant by asking her to attend the birthday banquet is flattering her. But the previous sentence cannot be refuted, because Yuchen has helped her a lot over the years, which cannot be denied.

The old lady knew Yuxi's temperament, so she simply didn't reason with her: "When the time comes, you can talk to your mother well." The meaning of these words is obvious, Yuxi has to go if she doesn't want to.

No matter how reluctant Yu Xi was, she would not dare to disobey the old lady. At this juncture, she is not willing to bear such a reputation: "Good."

After returning, Yuxi's face was heavy. Seeing Zisu and others were shocked: "Girl, what's the matter?" Girls rarely have such an expression, what a big deal has happened to this matter.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

Sister Quan was very transparent, and asked Yuxi: "Does the old lady want the girl to go to the palace?" In fact, Sister Quan was very surprised, why Yuxi would be so disgusted with going to the palace.

Looking at Nanny Quan's expression, Yuxi knew what she was thinking, and told her what was disturbing in her heart.

Sister Quan laughed and said, "Young lady is too nervous."

Yuxi was a little surprised: "Nervous?"

Sister Quan nodded and said: "The lady said she was uneasy, but she was actually too nervous. Anyone who wants to go from home to a strange environment will be nervous. Like the girl, there are nine out of ten girls who are waiting to be married. Both."

Yuxi thought of Yuchen's appearance before she got married, and seemed to be quite nervous: "Maybe I'm really too nervous."

Mother Quan said: "Girl, the princess invited you to talk, maybe she wants to win you over, so if you go to the palace, you will be fine." Although Chen Ran is the second son, he is full of talent and has a bright future. Unlimited. Although Yuchen is a princess, she also needs help, otherwise she will always be suppressed by the concubine Song.

Yuxi gave a gracious expression. She had a terrible experience in her previous life. In this life, she was able to get married to the Chen family, get along so well with Chen Ran, and get the approval of Mrs. Tai Ning Hou. Everything went so smoothly that she felt unreal. Maybe it was because of this that made her uneasy and afraid of something going wrong. But think about it, this life is different from the previous life. In her previous life, she and Qiu Lei, the second young master of the Qiu family, were only discussing marriage, and hadn't gotten engaged yet. If they were engaged, there would be no follow-up. But now, in half a month, she will marry into the Chen family, so there is no possibility of any more accidents.

For King Jing's birthday banquet, there were not many people from the Han family. Mrs. Ye took the lead, and Yuxi and Yurong were the only ones who didn't go. Wen Shi wanted to go, but the old lady was afraid that she would embarrass Yuchen, so she made a mistake and punished her to copy scriptures.

Yuxi got up early to dress up, and after cooking, she took Zisu and Zijin out together. Corydalis hadn't been in the sun for a while, and she used whitening products again, so she didn't look as dark as before. Of course, it was not in vain. With Viola at the side as a foil, Yu Xi's skin was as crystal clear as jade, and she was invincibly beautiful.

Ye Shi didn't think much about who Yuxi took. On the other hand, Yurong glanced at Zijin, then at Yuxi, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister is so beautifully dressed today."

Yurong put a lot of thought into it today, wearing a golden white butterfly and peach red cloud satin clothes, and a red gold walking swing, with ruby ​​tassels swaying non-stop with the movements. According to Qiu Shi, at this age, no matter how you do it, it looks good. Not to mention that Yurong had spent a lot of time dressing up, and she had dressed up her seven-point complexion to be ten-ten.

These words were quite harsh, as if to say that Yuxi's appearance was not very good, and she was supported by her clothes. Yu Xi said lightly: "No fifth younger sister dresses so richly." Yu Xi also liked to wear bright and eye-catching clothes before, and she also wore red gold and precious stone jewelry. But now it doesn't work, because she has been immersed in the sea of ​​books all year round, and Yuxi's temperament has changed a lot now.

There is a poetic spirit in his belly, just imagine such a person who is full of jewels and wearing bright clothes, what does it feel like? Therefore, today, Yuxi is wearing a light blue embroidered magnolia long skirt with folded branches, a lotus root lotus color green pattern belt, and a flowing cloud bun, looking graceful and calm.

Seeing Yurong, Mrs. Ye wanted to speak, and said: "Get in the carriage! We have to get to the palace early." They are the natal family of the princess, and usually the natal family will arrive before other guests. In this way, if you are too busy, you can also help greet guests. Princess Jing is pregnant again, so it's better to go early.

This time, when going to the palace, each person has a carriage, and Yuxi, Zisu and Zijin have a carriage. After getting into the carriage, Zisu said: "It's really annoying. When the third lady died, every time I saw the girl, she always looked pitiful. I didn't expect to change her face when she turned her head." When Mrs. Wu died, Seeing Yu Rong's sad look, she still felt that the other party was pitiful, but she didn't expect to change his face once he gained power.

Yuxi said: "When Mrs. Wu died, she acted so pitifully in front of me, but she was afraid that I would retaliate against her. Now that she has a good family and confidence, naturally she doesn't have to pretend to be pitiful anymore." She used to think that Yurong really got better, but in the end, what people used was just a strategy of mourning soldiers, and she was the only one who was really stupid. However, I will not commit such stupidity again in the future.

Zisu asked, "Isn't the girl angry?"

Yuxi smiled and asked Zijin beside her: "Zijin, are you angry?"

Zijin was puzzled and said, "Why are you so angry? The fifth girl was originally at odds with the girl, but now it's normal!"

Zisu held her breath in her heart, and she didn't say a word all the way to the palace.

Before getting out of the carriage, Yuxi lowered her voice and said to the two of them: "When you get to the palace later, don't leave me." Although she was enlightened by Nunnery Quan, she felt that the uneasiness was caused by nervousness. But based on the principle of being cautious, she still brought Zijin with her. Even if something unexpected happens, with Zijin here, don't worry about safety.

After hearing this, Zi Jin said, "Don't worry, girl, I will always be by your side and never leave a step." Whatever the girl tells her, she will do it, and she doesn't need to know the reason.

Zi Su's face changed drastically: "Girl, what's wrong?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's nothing. I just think that the third sister and Concubine Song don't get along. Maybe she will take the opportunity to make trouble. Maybe I'm too worried, but there's nothing wrong with being careful."

Zisu nodded her head. (to be continued)
