Chapter 23 Making things difficult for Su Lixiao(1/2)
After the miracle doctor Valley Master disappeared, Xi Qingyan, the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, returned again.
With that disfigured face, Xi Qingyan made everyone take a breath as soon as she appeared.
Because that face is so scary.
No matter how many times they see it, they will always feel that the face of the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion is too horrible to look at.
"Xi Qingyan, do you know what our palace banquet is for today?"
"You have such a distinguished appearance and you are here to attend this palace banquet. Xi Qingyan, you are really shameless!"
"Mrs. Shangshu has already left the palace banquet with your concubine, but you have the nerve to stay at this palace banquet with a shameless face and eat and drink?"
The appearance of the Master of the Miracle Doctor Valley is so surprising, and the appearance of the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion will cause such strong resistance.
"What's wrong with me? Did Xi Qingyan eat your food? Or did she wear your clothes?"
Xi Qingyan fought back without mercy.
"Today's palace banquet is originally prepared for the female relatives of officials of the fifth rank and above in Kyoto. Please tell me, as the eldest lady of the Shangshu Mansion, am I not in this category?"
Xi Qingyan retorted with a sneer.
"My sister is my sister, my stepmother is my stepmother, they are them, and I am me. I believe the reason why I came late today should be clear to all of you here!"
There had just been a scene, and everyone knew that Xi Chuyu had stolen Xi Qingyan's invitation.
"You all point your fingers at me, but each of you considers me a victim. If you treat me like this, what is the difference between you and my stepmother and sister?"
"Could it be that each of you has also done those shameful things behind your back?"
Xi Qingyan spoke eloquently and retorted, leaving the ladies present speechless.
"You are all high-ranking ladies from aristocratic families. Before you criticize others for their behavior, you should first check whether your words and deeds are appropriate."
"Since you all know that today is a palace banquet, you should understand the rules in the White House."
"At the very least, don't make any noise in the palace. You should be able to do that, right?"
Xi Qingyan's words not only occupied a high moral level but were also well-founded. For a while, no one really came up with a reason to refute her.
However, after all, some people didn't like her.
For example, Ms. Song, who had her face cured not long ago.
"Xi Qingyan, why are you so arrogant here? Even if you meet the entry criteria for today's palace banquet, do you think you are worthy to stay with us young ladies who have not yet left the palace? Someone at this palace banquet welcomes you.
?”
"Xi Qingyan, it's important for a person to be self-aware. You, an unruly woman who got pregnant out of wedlock, are a humiliation to all of us when you come to today's palace banquet!"
"Your Majesty, I don't want to appear at this palace banquet with an ugly girl like Xi Qingyan!"
"Xi Qingyan is ugly, and I am afraid that she will stain the eyes of the imperial concubine and the nobles in the palace! Therefore, I dare to ask the imperial concubine to expel this person!"
Miss Song was worried that her words did not have enough weight, so she took Concubine Dong and the nobles in the palace along with her.
Seeing Miss Song like this, Xi Qingyan found it very funny.
"Miss Song, do you regard the palace banquet as playing house?"
Xi Qingyan stepped forward and spoke with a sneer.
"The state has national laws, the family has family rules, and the palace has its own rules. Concubine Dong Gui and Concubine Jiang who are here are concubines in the palace. Do you think they are as superficial as you and judge people by their appearance?"
Xi Qingyan blocked the way back with just one sentence.
Concubine Dong Gui originally thought of Mr. Song behind Miss Song and intended to sell Mr. Song a favor. Unexpectedly, when Xi Qingyan opened her mouth like this, she could no longer act rashly.
"You categorically said that no one welcomed my arrival at this palace banquet, but unfortunately, Miss Song, you are wrong."
Xi Qingyan took out the invitation from her sleeve.
"Even though none of you welcome my arrival, His Highness King Li sent me an invitation."
"you……!"
Miss Song looked at the fake invitation in Xi Qingyan's hand and stamped her feet angrily.
Her makeup today was completely ruined by this move, and she no longer had any sense of beauty.
"Your Highness Prince Li, would you like to welcome me to this palace banquet?"
Xi Qingyan deliberately made Miss Song angry, walked up to Su Lixiao with a smile on her face, and asked proudly.
Su Lixiao looked at the proud expression of Xi Qingyan who was right in front of her, and there was a smile in her eyes unconsciously.
Sure enough, it doesn't matter whether it's the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion or the master of Miracle Doctor Valley.
Xi Qingyan will not let herself suffer a loss.
"The king personally sent you an invitation, and why are you so late?"
King Li's words confirmed that King Li had indeed invited Xi Qingyan. No matter how resentful others were, it still did not help.
"Okay, okay, now that everyone is here, let's start today's banquet!"
Concubine Dong Gui felt very unhappy when she saw that the protagonists of the palace banquet were Su Lixiao and Xi Qingyan! Today's banquet was to choose a good daughter-in-law for her son Su Yiting!
Today, whether it is King Li Su Lixiao or Concubine Su Chenan and Concubine Jiang, they are all supporting roles! In today's big drama, she wants to push her son to become the focus of everyone!
If others took the limelight, wouldn't she have wasted so much effort?
"Concubine, how boring would it be if we just ate wine?"
Su Yiting immediately understood what Concubine Dong Gui meant and stepped forward with a smile.
"The chrysanthemums are blooming so beautifully at this banquet. How about we write a poem about chrysanthemums?"
"Reciting poems and writing poems is too monotonous. Your Majesty, this woman's lack of talent is a virtue. If reciting poems and writing poems makes the daughter's family here unable to get off the stage, what will happen then?"
Concubine Dong stood up and spoke with a smile.
On the surface, he wanted to stop Su Yiting and pave the way for the next performance of the noble ladies from the aristocratic families present.
"Mother, concubine, what do you think of this? If we pick someone when we play the drums and pass the flowers around, and that person doesn't know how to recite poems and compose rhymes, then she can switch to other talents. As long as she can open our eyes, she won't be considered a loser!"
Su Yiting glanced at the ladies from various families present and spoke with a slight smile.
"I wonder what you ladies think of Xiao Wang's proposal just now?"
"The noble ladies in Kyoto are all secretly cultivated by their families. Even if they are not outstanding in appearance, they still have one or two things that they can use.
"Your Highness, Your Highness's idea is excellent!"
Ms. Song was the first to express her position.
After she agreed with Su Yiting's idea, many people followed Miss Song and agreed.
But Miss Song's attention is all on Xi Qingyan. She is going to make Xi Qingyan lose completely in the competition today!
In Miss Song's view, Xi Qingyan, whose appearance has been disfigured over the years, has been wandering outside, not to mention practicing calligraphy. She is afraid it will not be easy for her to make a living!
She just wanted Xi Qingyan to lose face in front of everyone!
Who dared Xi Qingyan, a blind and ugly monster, to bring trouble on her!
Xi Qingyan noticed Miss Song's gaze, but she did not take Miss Song seriously. After all, this simple-minded Miss Song must have thought that she was an empty-headed idiot.
"Okay! Since everyone is so interested, let's get started!"
Concubine Dong Guifei and Su Yiting sang and harmonized, and their coordination was perfect.
The drummer who plays the drum to spread the flowers is the maid serving beside Concubine Dong Gui. This is obviously a trick!
Xi Qingyan is very shameless for this kind of behavior!
"Brother Wang Li, everyone is participating in this. Brother Wang, if you just stand aside and watch, wouldn't you be a little unsocial?"
Seeing Su Lixiao's lack of interest, Su Yiting sat aside with an indifferent expression and deliberately stepped forward to provoke him.
"Brother Wang Li has been away at war for many years, and rarely has time to sit down and get close to us. Today, the weather is so good, and the chrysanthemums are blooming beautifully. If Brother Wang doesn't come, won't he be dissatisfied with all of us here?"
Xi Qingyan frowned after hearing Su Yiting's words!
hiss!
This Su Yiting is still a master who will definitely retaliate!
Just now she pretended to be the master of the Miracle Doctor Valley and teamed up with Su Lixiao to make a little joke with him, but then Su Yiting started to come back with revenge!
Everyone knows that since King Li's biological mother, Yuan Hou, was rumored to have committed adultery and eventually hanged herself, His Majesty has turned a deaf ear to Su Lixiao.
His Majesty's rejection caused Su Lixiao to be sent to the battlefield at a young age.
Su Lixiao, who today has the name of God of War, was defeated bit by bit by relying on his perseverance and talent!
Su Lixiao is extremely talented in martial arts, but he has been on the battlefield since he was a child. How can he have time to learn anything about dance and writing?
Reciting poetry and painting are all hobbies cultivated in my spare time.
How can a person who is facing a precarious situation on the battlefield have time to think about those romantic affairs?
In winter, Concubine Dong drowned Xi Xiaochen in the water. Xi Qingyan knew that Concubine Dong was not a good person. Now it seems that like mother, like son!
