It has been snowing for several days in a row, and today it finally cleared up. The sky seemed washed, blue and beautiful.
After that bet, Mu Liuyue never attended the party in the circle again, and hid in the boudoir all day long, depressed and unhappy, and her temper became more and more serious.
With a "bang", another precious vase was smashed, and the maids surrounded the door, but no one dared to go in.
In the beginning, General Mu and Mu Qingwu would come over to take a look, but now they are numb. What they are more worried about is that this girl's reputation is so bad, and marrying a good family will become a big problem in the future.
"Come on! Come on!"
Mu Liuyue shouted angrily, and a servant girl ran over timidly, not daring to get too close.
"Has Princess Changping been here? I don't know if she's here?" Mu Liuyue questioned.
Her only hope is Princess Changping, but since the accident, Princess Changping has never been here once. Seeing that the plum blossom banquet is coming soon, she has not received the invitation for a long time. Is this the rhythm of being completely abandoned?
"No..." the maid replied cautiously, and immediately comforted her, "Miss, maybe the princess is busy, and she will be here in a few days."
"What are you busy with? Plum Blossom Banquet? Who did she invite? Has Han Yunxi been invited?" Mu Liuyue asked urgently.
She had long heard that this year's Plum Blossom Banquet was hosted by Princess Changping, and it was up to Princess Changping to decide who to invite.
How did the maid know so much, so she immediately ran away with an excuse, "Miss, wait a moment, maidservant will go and inquire now!"
With Mu Liuyue's reputation so bad, Princess Changping naturally wouldn't come. She was indeed busy with the plum blossom feast at this time, and the first invitation was sent to Prince Qin's residence, and it was Han Yunxi who invited her.
For the past few days, Han Yunxi has been going back and forth between the Han family and Prince Qin's mansion, busy with the aftermath of the Han family, and she never saw Long Feiye again after that night. She had already locked the attic window, so she didn't know if that guy came back at night, and she didn't know whether he was busy or not.
As for the news about the Princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty, she didn't bother to inquire about it. She just lived her life like this. Occasionally, she went to Concubine Yi's to serve her "detoxification and beauty", and chatted for a while. Although the relationship was not very close, it was much better than before. .
During the period, Gu Qishao asked someone to send several cans of high-quality Nanshan black tea, but she lost them all. No one knew that she didn't want to drink black tea when she went to Nanshan to pick black tea.
At this time, as soon as she came back, Housekeeper Xia came to find her, "My Lady, Princess Tai, let you go over."
"What's the matter?" Han Yunxi didn't understand. She only did acupuncture for Concubine Yi this morning. Apart from acupuncture, Concubine Yi would never seek her out.
"My subordinates don't know, the concubine is waiting, and the concubine should hurry over there," Butler Xia replied.
Could it be that there is something wrong with Mrs. Xu? Concubine Yi ignored the insinuating questions several times, and she couldn't find any information in Dali Temple, so she figured it out on her own, and Han Yunxi hurried over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he met an unexpected person... Murong Wanru!
What's the situation, this white lotus actually came out!
Did Concubine Yi never suspect Murong Wanru, or... knew the truth but covered her up? She's just an adopted daughter, so what
"Sister-in-law, you are finally here. It's cold outside, hurry up and have a cup of hot tea."
Murong Wan seemed to be very attentive and enthusiastic as if nothing had happened. He asked Han Yunxi to sit down and poured tea. "
Concubine Yi frowned, and handed over a pink invitation card, double-layered and hollowed out, with a thin and bony plum carved on it, which was extremely delicate.
Han Yunxi took a look and immediately understood what was going on.
This is an invitation letter for the Plum Blossom Banquet, unlike the other invitees who were as happy as she was, she couldn't laugh or cry.
There is no good banquet at a banquet, and there is no good seat at a banquet.
She doesn't like this kind of thing the least. The so-called plum blossom banquet, the guests of the banquet are either rich or noble, and most of them are young women. flat.
Every time what happens at the plum blossom banquet, it will be spread out and become the talk of the noble women circle, it is really boring.
Han Yunxi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Concubine Mother, this concubine is not feeling well, I wonder if this banquet can..."
Who knew that before the words were finished, Murong Wanru said, "Sister-in-law, you must not go! The queen is in poor health, this time it is hosted by Princess Changping, if you don't go, Princess Changping What would you think?"
Han Yunxi was slightly startled, she didn't expect this to happen.
In this way, this banquet will not be a good one. Han Yunxi still remembers the scene at the gate of the General's Mansion last time, and the matter of Mu Qingwu running the street. It is estimated that Changping has all the grudges on her. God knows that this time it was prepared. What trap made her jump!
"Mother concubine... the concubine is a rough person, has no talent and learning, and happens to be unwell, so I'm afraid that going there will embarrass you." Han Yunxi refused again.
It's too easy for her to reject Princess Changping, just don't give her face, but this matter has a big impact, and she has to pass the hurdle of Concubine Yi first.
Concubine Yi still didn't speak, Murong Wanru said again, "Sister-in-law is too modest, she's just admiring the plum blossoms, what kind of talent do you need to learn, if sister-in-law doesn't go, Wanru won't be left alone? Besides, sister-in-law represents our Qin Palace Go, if you don't go, then it seems like you don't even bother."
Now, Han Yunxi finally understood why Murong Wanru was released without any warning. It turned out that she was also invited.
She opened the invitation and saw that the date was three days later.
Han Yunxi frowned and didn't speak for a long time. At this time, the silent Concubine Yi said, "Yunxi, if you don't go to this palace, you will be even more shameless. A few days ago, they started talking about whether Changping will meet you." I invite you to go, do you dare to go?"
Yunxi? God!
With a sound of "bang", the teacup in Murong Wanru's hand fell to the ground, she was startled!
The mother concubine actually called Han Yunxi's name so kindly, and even discussed it with her so nicely
Murong Wanru's face was pale, and she was caught off guard. She thought that the concubine mother would reprimand Han Yunxi angrily, but who knew that the concubine mother had such an attitude.
During the time she was in confinement, what happened between Concubine Mu and Han Yunxi? She also just came out, and she hasn't had time to understand the situation with her confidant.
Seeing this, Grand Concubine Yi looked displeased, "What's wrong with you?"
Han Yunxi snickered in her heart, it doesn't matter if Murong Wanru comes out, she will cry in the days ahead.
"Mother, my concubine, I heard that as long as an unmarried woman wins a reward at this plum blossom banquet and becomes famous, the threshold of the family will be trampled by the matchmaker after the banquet. I don't know if it is really such an exaggeration?" Han Yunxi asked earnestly. .
Concubine Yi laughed, "It's an exaggeration, but it's not fake."
As long as you are amazed at the plum blossom banquet, countless young masters will love and propose marriage, so this plum blossom banquet is the most dreamed holy event for women in the imperial capital.
"Well, then I'd better go with Wanru, this girl has reached the age of marriage." Han Yunxi said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Murong Wanru's heart skipped a beat! That bitch Han Yunxi really wants to marry her off? It's not her turn to take care of her marriage!
"Wan Ru, you have to behave well, concubine mother, when you turn around, you have to ask Steward Xia to thicken the threshold of our family, haha." Han Yunxi said jokingly.
Concubine Yi's eyes flashed a look of complexity, she didn't speak.
But Han Yunxi said again, "Mother Concubine, which family do you already have in mind for Wanru?"
Concubine Yi immediately shook her head, "It's nothing, don't spread rumors."
"Mother Concubine, Wanru is not too young, she is not in a hurry, so could it be that you are not in a hurry for her?" Han Yunxi asked again.
Murong Wanru's lungs were about to explode from the sidelines, the concubine mother and she were not in a hurry, what was this bitch in a hurry for? None of her business
Unexpectedly, Grand Concubine Yi replied indifferently, "Of course I'm anxious, but this matter is not rushed. You have to think about things in your life slowly, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Murong Wanru's heartbeat almost stopped, how could the concubine mother say such words
She is an adopted daughter, not the younger sister of King Qin, and the concubine mother has matched her and King Qin several times before? The concubine mother said that as long as the king of Qin nodded, she would immediately make her the side concubine of the king of Qin, so that she could stay by her side for the rest of her life.
Could it be that the concubine mother has changed her mind
She has worked so hard for so many years just to stay by King Qin's side. Even if she can't be the concubine because of her birth, she doesn't mind. The concubine mother understands her heart best, how can this be so
"It's true that we should think about it slowly. If the concubine mother has a candidate, don't hide it secretly. The concubine can also help refer to it." Han Yunxi was serious.
Concubine Yi nodded and didn't say much, but just this nodding action broke Murong Wanru's heart.
She grabbed Grand Concubine Yi's hand excitedly, anxiously, "Concubine Mother, my daughter won't marry! Don't marry! My daughter will stay at the mansion and serve you for the rest of my life!"
These words are clearly implying that Concubine Yi, marrying the King of Qin means staying in the Prince Qin's mansion, and can serve her for the rest of her life.
However, before Grand Concubine Yi could say anything, Han Yunxi said, "What a silly girl, how can Mother Concubine keep you forever? You are harming yourself and Mother Concubine! You are not young anymore, if you don't marry again, the outsiders What will people say about you, about mother concubine?"
Murong Wanru gave Han Yunxi a resentful look, and burst into tears immediately, "Sister-in-law, do you despise Wanru? Want to drive Wanru away?"
"This family is owned by my mother and concubine. What are you talking about? Sister-in-law is doing it for your own good." Han Yunxi explained seriously. How could she not have felt Murong Wanru's affection for King Qin
"Mother, I..."
Murong Wanru wanted to say more, but Concubine Yi waved her hand and interrupted, "Okay, okay, let's talk about the plum blossom banquet first."
She took a look at Han Yunxi, and said seriously, "Yunxi, you prepare three sets of clothes that can be used on the table, one for the day, and two for spare. In the past three days, I want to understand the situation of the plum blossom banquet. Remember that you are Princess Qin is Changping's elder, don't embarrass me."
Han Yunxi looked at Concubine Yi seriously, she knew that she would not be able to avoid this calamity, it was rare that Concubine Yi didn't forcefully warn her, but reminded her like this.
Well, this time, because of Taifei Yi's attitude, she will go, let alone the plum blossom banquet, even if it is a Hongmen banquet, she is not afraid!
"Yes, my concubine understands." Han Yunxi replied seriously.
Murong Wanru was full of fear, she couldn't accept what she saw and heard, so that night she asked Nanny Gui and a few maidservants to inquire about the situation.
What a Han Yunxi, it's only been a few days, you can dispel the hostility of your mother and concubine, and if you stay, how can I, Murong Wanru, gain a foothold in the Qin Palace
The next day, Murong Wanru immediately secretly met with Princess Changping!
