Everyone looked at Wu Zhe's face and saw the general meaning.
No way, she seems to be rejecting Concubine Qi's invitation
Very good! Hu Yunshang suddenly realized that he was a little secretly happy, and quickly straightened his mind. No, I shouldn't think so... If Yao can have a good home, I should be happy for her, but...
Even though he was only invited by Concubine Qi and it didn't mean a blind date, Hu Yun couldn't let go of his sadness.
His sister Hu Yunjiao poked Wu Zhe lightly: "You don't want to go?"
Wu Zhe handed the invitation to her: "How about you go for me?"
Hu Yunjiao shook her head violently: "No, she only invited you. This may be a visit to the princess, it has nothing to do with me."
Wu Zhe laughed and said, "If you go, they won't drive you out, right? What if the crown prince favors you more and becomes Empress Yunjiao?"
Hu Yunshang was very self-aware, and snorted: "If I enter the palace, I might be beaten to death for violating a taboo within a few days. Even if I don't get beaten to death, I will be bored to death in the palace. Then It's annoying to think about planting a ghost place, so I don't want to go."
"Ruoyao, this is an opportunity." Zong Zhilian waved his fan and said, "Yunjiao is just saying what she thinks, but entering the palace is the luxury of many girls from rich families. You should think about it carefully, and don't refuse it arbitrarily."
Everyone tried to persuade Wu Zhe, but she refused to let go.
"You really don't want to go?" Zong Zhilian finally asked for confirmation.
Wu Zhe nodded very vigorously.
"Then you also need to know that it's inappropriate to prevaricate like this." Zong Zhilian snapped his fan and said with a smile: "As the captain, let's help your teammates come up with a good idea. Why don't you just go, it's just you Where have you been..."
Wu Zhe immediately understood: "Oh~ That's right! Okay, I'll go, let that concubine Qi lose her mind!"
After saying this, she also started to have fun.
Maybe drinking more alcohol on purpose, it's not bad to be drunk...
***********************
Qi'an Mansion.
This is a mansion set up by the King of Qi outside the inner palace of Qidu. Most of them grow some flowers and plants, and it is a place where the members of the royal family can relax when they have nothing to do.
Qi'an mansion is also often used to entertain some friends who are not suitable for entering the inner palace.
Especially Concubine Qi has a lively personality and can't stay in the inner palace. For example, boxing and other things are not easy to do in the inner palace, so I come here.
Over time, this Qi'an Mansion became Concubine Qi's personal playground...
Tonight's banquet was arranged long ago, not just for Wu Zhe.
Concubine Qi invited her best friend, Mrs. Yang, and planned to watch the moonlight and drink old wine.
Mrs. Yang is the wife of General Yang in Tianbo Mansion.
Concubine Qi knew that some of the poems King Qi liked very much recently, especially the piece "Borrowing from Heaven for Another Five Hundred Years", were all written by Xiao Ruoyao. And Mo Shiren, who has always been on good terms, happened to mention that Xiao Ruoyao came to Qidu, and was awarded Qi Wang Mobao.
After inquiring again, this Xiao Ruoyao was unique in the world in memory, and Concubine Qi was immediately interested in this little girl.
Therefore, the fact that she invited Wu Zhe to the banquet tonight really has nothing to do with the prince...
Concubine Qi didn't even know that the crown prince had seen Wu Zhe pretending to be a plaster face, so she called her here purely on a whim.
Using the original words that Concubine Qi muttered at the time, it was: "Xiao Ruoyao? Can you really remember it? Oh, it's amazing, come and try it."
Together with Wu Zhe, there were also several artists who could play torches under the moonlight.
Therefore, Zong Zhilian and others talked about the situation of [Xiang's daughter-in-law] like a booing, which is purely sentimental.
Poor Wu Zhe went to Qi'an Mansion in a carriage, all the way thinking wildly about how to spoil his image in front of Concubine Qi...
When they arrived at the gate of Qi'an Mansion, Wu Zhe was carried out of the carriage by Mu Qingya.
Zong Zhilian and others who came together stood at the gate of the mansion.
"Everyone, please stay still, including this girl." The little eunuch respectfully said to Zong Zhilian and the others and Mu Qingya who was pushing the cart: "Since Concubine Qi invited Miss Xiao to come, she must take good care of her. If you don't want to leave Go, please rest in the side house."
Zong Zhilian and others didn't have any objections.
The royal family didn't invite you, so it's not easy to go in.
Mu Qingya was replaced by two maids, one from left and one from right, pushing the wheeled cart in.
Just as he was about to enter the mansion, Zong Zhilian suddenly leaned over to Wu Zhe's car and said in a low voice, "Ruoyao, I will give you one last word of advice before entering the mansion."
Wu Zhe was looking inside curiously, and when he heard his serious words, he quickly paid attention to them.
Zong Zhilian lowered his voice so that only Wu Zhe could hear it: "When you see Concubine Qi, you must sweetly call her mother-in-law!"
"Go to hell!" Wu Zhe punched him.
Zong Zhilian had been on guard for a long time, he laughed and avoided.
"You wait for me!" Wu Zhe waved his fist, and the court lady pushed the cart into the mansion.
Zong Zhilian and others went to the side house to rest.
The decoration of Qi'an Mansion is pretty good, after all, it is a place where the empress often comes. King Qi liked this concubine very much, and she was the only concubine who was allowed to leave the palace at any time.
This mansion is not stingy with financial expenditures, so the mansion is carved with carved beams and painted buildings, and the trees, birds and animals are carefully arranged. It's a pity that Wu Zhe came at night, so he couldn't see cranes and other birds.
In fact, the high level of this building is not up to the level of the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and other garden palaces, and she didn't even notice it.
The little eunuch accompanied him all the way, feeling surprised in his heart.
This girl is not nervous at all when she first entered the royal residence? Even for the scenery in Fuchu, you are no longer interested after looking at it twice
As expected of the well-known female disciple of the Sword Fighting Sect who made that majestic song, the little eunuch praised her in his heart.
Turning around a large garden, I saw a gazebo.
"My lady, Mrs. Yang, Miss Xiao Ruoyao has arrived." The little eunuch reported in a female voice.
The main concubine of King Qi can be called Empress.
Although Concubine Qi has not been granted the title of Concubine Zheng, she has lived in the Concubine Palace under the title of [Qi] for twenty years, and the Concubine Qi has passed away for more than twenty years. More importantly, King Qi once called [Call Qi Concubine Empress] many times in front of everyone like a slip of the tongue, so she was also called Empress.
Anyone who understands understands that King Qi has long regarded Concubine Qi as his concubine. It's just that due to the face of the original concubine's family, there has been no change.
Wu Zhe looked over and saw two women sitting at the table in the hall.
Looking at them by moonlight and candlelight, the two women are both forty years old.
Among them, the gorgeously dressed one is obviously a concubine. Wearing a Dahongpao with a golden peacock pattern, reflecting golden light. The appearance is outstanding, and it can be seen that he was quite beautiful when he was young.
The other woman's appearance is much inferior, and her clothes are also a bit worse.
The beautiful concubine said: "Here? Let her come and sit."
She is Concubine Qi, and she speaks quite casually.
The little eunuch hurriedly stepped aside, and the maid pushed Wu Zhe's wheelbarrow over. (To be continued.)
