Chapter 259 The palace banquet begins, but you can’t get on the stage
In the past few days, the Minister of Rites' Mansion has been deserted, but apart from a few servants who bought it, few people have gone out.
The opposite is Xi Qingyan's Xi Mansion. Everyone in the capital knows that Xi Qingyan and Xi Dianguo have cut off father-daughter relationship, and since then, they have never returned to the Minister of Rites.
She herself bought a new house, and Su Lixiao even brought Su Xiaomo and his brothers to visit every day. Even the ladies of the Duke Anguo Mansion came to her house every day, without any intention of avoiding suspicion.
Cookie supported her jaw with one hand on her arm. Xi Qingyan blinked slightly, and looked at An Yaotiao on the opposite side with a little helplessness, "You have come to me every day, will Duke An really not say much?"
The transaction of official positions in Xidian Kingdom involved many court officials, and now it has become an existence that everyone avoids and fears.
With Duke An Guo's personality, Duan would not let An Yaotiao appear in the Xifu, but the girl came over without any movement every day. Could it be that Duke An Guo's idea?
Holding a round fan in his hand, An Yaomei slapped it hard, and then lay on the table without any image. "He wanted to stop him, but he didn't stop him."
"Hmm?" What does this mean? Could it be that An Yaotiao will still teleport to the Xi Mansion?
Facing the woman's slightly puzzled gaze, An Yaomei scratched her head embarrassedly, then looked at the sky and the earth but didn't dare to look at Xi Qingyan, "This is a coincidence. There happened to be a dog hole in my yard, so..."
Who knows that the legitimate daughter of her noble family would actually drill a dog hole with her skirt every day, and once she was seen by her servants. If An Yaotiao had not bought her with a lot of money, her face would have been considered a pity.
Three black lines slowly slid down the corner of her forehead, and Xi Qingyan twitched the corner of her mouth speechlessly. She was indeed a strange girl who didn't play according to common sense. What she thought was different from ordinary people...
The pink cheeks gradually turned red, and An Yaoli rubbed her face uneasyly. She then sat up and looked at Xi Qingyan with a worried look. "Tomorrow is the palace banquet prepared by Concubine Wei Shu. If you don't want to go, why don't you pretend to be sick and stay in Xi'an Mansion."
Anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is a Hongmen banquet, and everyone knows that Su Lixiao values Xi Qingyan, not to mention that Xi Qingyan’s biggest trump card is Su Xiaomo and Xi Xiaochen.
They respect Xi Qingyan very much. Even if they hear someone else say that Xi Qingyan is not good, they will have to find the place with great momentum.
Therefore, even if the emperor doesn't like Xi Qingyan, he doesn't look at monks and Buddha's faces, he will definitely not do too much for the sake of the face of the two young emperors.
But Concubine Wei Shu and Concubine Jiang are different. After receiving the emperor's open and secret instructions, they will definitely do some tricks behind their backs.
More importantly, Concubine Wei Shu and Concubine Jiang have formed a bond with Xi Qingyan, and the two of them have the support of the emperor behind them. No matter how they look at the palace tomorrow, they feel very dangerous.
He lowered his eyes and slapped the tea. Xi Qingyan curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly, and a hint of obscurity quickly passed through his water-colored eyes. "Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative. I am very curious about what cooperation has Concubine Wei Shu and Concubine Jiang reached."
On the surface, Su Chen'an and Wei Guo Kung Fu have become grasshoppers on the same rope, but the contradiction is that Wei Yanran sisters, Wei Shufei and her are happy at the same time. Who would Duke Wei choose to help?
As if she remembered something, An Yaotiao suddenly patted her head and shook her eyebrows and said to Xi Qingyan, "I heard that Wei Yanran will also attend the Japanese palace banquet. She has not been in her three months, so she is too brave."
Concubine Wei Shu and Wei Yanran had a happy time, but unlike the former, Wei Yanran has not yet known as Su Chen'an's concubine. She couldn't wait to appear at the palace banquet, probably because she came for Xi Qingyan.
Why? Can't wait to see her joke? A strange color flashed across her eyebrows. Xi Qingyan curled her lips indifferently, then stretched her waist, "Since that's the case, then let's see the real seal at the palace banquet tomorrow."
The next day
This palace banquet was held by Concubine Wei Shu and Concubine Jiang at the same time, and the show was extremely large. Any officials above the sixth rank in the capital could allow their daughters to enter the palace.
Xi Qingyan accidentally went to show off the limelight, so she only asked Chuntao to prepare one
He was wearing a light blue gradient palace dress, and then he took off two bead hairpins inserted on his head.
"You little girl, I'm just going to attend a palace banquet, not a blind date, what's going on? What's so fancy?" Xi Qingyan shook her head in a funny way. She looked at Chuntao's lips and pouted her lips without hesitation, bent her fingers and gently flicked her head.
Just Su Lixiao's jealousy, seeing her looks, she would inevitably not do anything strange. Moreover, the two brothers Su Xiaomo will also attend this palace banquet. She dressed so gorgeously, isn't she just going to steal the limelight?
"Miss, you are going to attend a palace banquet, of course you have to be too arrogant." Chuntao is the real Xi Qingyan. In her heart, Xi Qingyan has always been the best, not to mention that a woman's appearance is already unparalleled. If she is not easy to dress up, wouldn't she waste this appearance?
Seeing the little girl's resentment, Xi Qingyan had no choice but to pick up a glass golden plum hairpin from the makeup box and put it on her head, "Okay, we can leave now."
She was not going to attend the palace banquet today. Not long after the accident occurred in Xidianguo, Xi Qingyan cut off the father-daughter relationship with him and moved out of the Shangshu Mansion. Those who had disliked her would naturally not miss this opportunity to sarcasm.
Moreover, wearing too much jewelry will affect Xi Qingyan's performance, so she cannot do whatever she wants. However, given that Chuntao is doing her best, she will satisfy her once.
A smile finally passed on the round little face. Chuntang nodded with satisfaction, and then prepared the carriage and Xi Qingyan to drive towards the palace together.
Looking at the densely packed carriages outside the palace gate, Xi Qingyan raised her eyebrows indifferently, and then, under the guidance of the palace servants, she came to Concubine Wei Shu's Chaoyang Palace.
This concubine is worthy of being the newly-upstarred concubine. The yard is not only filled with various precious flowers, but even the servants serving in the palace are a little more arrogant than others. Compared with Concubine Dong before, it is probably even better than that.
"Oh, isn't this the eldest lady from the Minister of Rites' Mansion? Oh no, Miss Xi and Secretary Xi have cut off the relationship between father and daughter. Now they are just a civilian."
Covering his lips and laughing rustly with the person next to him, several girls with slightly face stood not far away, looking at Xi Qingyan with burning eyes.
The malice in their eyes was not concealed at all. In front of everyone, they pointed at Xi Qingyan.
That's it? Is this the appetizer of today?
He rolled his eyes speechlessly, and Xi Qingyan gently pinned the broken hair scattered in his ears behind his head, and then said seriously: "This unknown lady? You have yellow tongues and blue eyes. If you don't treat it in time, you may be in danger of your life."
The face froze slightly, and the girl who had spoken before immediately stomped her feet, couldn't help but raise her fingertips and pointed at Xi Qingyan, "Do you know who I am? How dare you talk nonsense here, come and give her to me..."
He instantly took out an invitation, and Xi Qingyan looked at the girl with a smile. Her cold voice was filled with a strong pressure, which shocked others and did not dare to act rashly. "I am a distinguished guest specially invited by Concubine Shu. Is this lady, are you sure you want to attack me?"
With a hint of swaying eyes, Xi Qingyan hugged her arms and said indifferently: "Since this lady is so interested in me, she should know that I am the master of the Divine Doctor Valley."
The implication is that her medical skills cannot be mistaken. Although Xi Qingyan deliberately scared her just now, only a little powder is enough for those symptoms.
The girl's face turned blue and white. Damn it, why did she forget that Xi Qingyan was not only the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, but also the master of the Divine Doctor Valley, who controls the life and death of all people in the world.
After swallowing, the girl moved her steps uneasily. She saw Wei Yanran slowly coming by with sharp eyes. She looked happy and hurried to the woman and then took her arm.
"Fifth sister-in-law, you're here."
The little head was filled with big question marks. Ruoxi Qingyan remembered correctly. Wei Yanran and Su Chenan's wedding was next month. Why did he suddenly become the fifth sister-in-law of this girl? And the only one who can call Wei Yanran like this seems to be in Beijing.
That one.
Princess Qingyang, Jiang Qin.
Her face became slightly heavy, and Wei Yanran looked at Xi Qingyan resentfully, but the depths of her eyes were filled with deep fear. She snorted heavily and said deliberately:
"It's just something that cannot be used on the table, and there is still a face here."
It was because of Xi Qingyan that she was imprisoned and tortured. The environment there was foul smell and all kinds of corpses were carried out every day.
Seeing such situations for a long time, Wei Yanran had a nightmare for half a month.
The little man subconsciously touched his lower abdomen. Was it because of Su Lixiao that Wei Yanran was able to come out? He gave Wei Yanran a pill, which allowed the imperial physician to diagnose the joyful pulse, and even made Su Chenan treat her like a treasure, making Concubine Jiang be kind to her.
But what's the use of these? They are all fake.! Ten months later, she couldn't give birth to a child at all!
"I can't get on the table? Who is Miss Wei talking about?" Xi Qingyan was alone, but there seemed to be thousands of troops behind the woman, and an unignorable aura was lingering in her body, which attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.
"You are the one you can't talk about when you are on the table." Wei Yanran was both afraid and afraid of Xi Qingyan. Logically speaking, she shouldn't provoke her anymore, but her hatred for Xi Qingyan had already overcome all emotions. Now she just wants to embarrass Xi Qingyan in public.
But what exactly is the eyes of these people...
"Oh~ It seems that Miss Wei is still a little conscious." A meaningful look appeared in her eyes, and Xi Qingyan smiled with a cunning look on her face.
