Yuchi is heartbroken and often appears beside the Ninth Prince, but he spends most of his time away from the imperial city, so Xiao Ting doesn't know what he does, only that he has an extraordinary relationship with the Emperor and the Ninth Prince.
At this moment, she suddenly heard Princess Zhaohua ask, she just thought of this level, so she asked.
Zhaohua was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a hint of shyness.
Looking at it, Xiao Ting felt that the world was unreal, "No, Zhaohua, you, you, you probably like him?"
Xiao Ting recalled the time when Princess Zhaohua came to the Nine Princes' Mansion to look for her. At that time, she felt that there was something unusual between her and Yuchi Xinhan.
I also asked the Ninth Prince, but it was a pity that Yixian ignored her at all, and then Zhaohua came to look for her again, so she didn't take it to heart.
Zhaohua's ears were slightly red, and he didn't nod or deny his friend Xiao vyp0's question, but got up and ran away.
"My God, you are too handsome for a princess to fall in love with an ordinary person!" Xiao Ting looked very excited, "Does your father know?"
It is said that the princess's marriage has always been decided by the emperor.
As for Yuchi Xinhan's identity, Xiao Ting only knew that he was working by the emperor's side, but he didn't have any apparent official position.
Would the emperor be willing to marry Shaohua to him? She read that in those novels, it was written like this. Men and women with very different identities have to go through many hardships to be together.
Of course, they must also be leading actors and actresses. If they are only supporting roles, then most likely they will not be able to do so.
Xiao Ting's thoughts were flying wildly, Zhao Hua waved away all the palace people, and then sat down in front of Xiao Ting, with a rare tone of admiration.
"He doesn't like me." More lonely.
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded again, "You are, unrequited love, I'll go!"
Zhaohua didn't speak, her legs swayed slowly halfway, staring at her toes, feeling restless, this matter has always been a knot in her heart.
"I said, what's there to like about that guy? He's so angry all day, he doesn't look like a good guy, why do you like him, and he doesn't look like someone who can give you a stable life." This is what Xiao Ting cares about.
Although she is not very old, she knows one thing, the most important thing for a girl to marry is stability, not love.
"I just like him!" Shaohua showed an annoyed look, obviously deeply rooted in love.
Xiao Ting rubbed the center of her brows and said, "It's okay, you're still young anyway, so don't be in a hurry."
This matter can only be taken slowly, after she decided to go back, she must ask the Ninth Prince about Yuchi's chilling thoughts.
She still has to care about Zhaohua's affairs.
Xiao Ting was about to say a few more words of persuasion, when she heard a knock on the door, and someone from the palace reported that Concubine Shu had invited her.
Xiao Ting shrank subconsciously, not wanting to go.
She has a sense of repulsion towards these nobles in the palace. Every time she goes, accidents will happen, and all of them are big ones. This time, she doesn't want to be the target of public criticism.
But Zhaohua said that concubine Shu rarely invites others to come over, let alone intervene in palace affairs. So far, if the emperor had not ordered concubine Shu to cooperate with the queen to host the palace banquet, concubine Shu would not have appeared.
Zhaohua concluded that this time it was just a simple invitation and nothing else, so he dragged Xiao Ting directly to Shuning Hall.
Zhaohua was afraid that Xiao Ting would think of Concubine Xiao Gui, so she didn't dare to say much along the way.
Xiao Ting will indeed think of her aunt, but she is not so fragile yet, instead she looks left and right to see the scenery along the way.
What kind of person is this concubine Shu
Are there exotic objects in her palace
It's a pity that she was disappointed. Concubine Shu, as the head of the four concubines, lived in such a simple palace, even compared to the other concubines in the palace, it could be called shabby.
In addition to the blue bricks and blue tiles, there are flowers and plants that grow randomly.
Everything looks simple and simple, giving people a natural and comfortable feeling.
The Shuning Palace is not like other places, there is a place for professional hospitality, and there are no high stools and chairs, only some cushions and low tables here.
There is only one pair of cushions on the high platform.
When Xiao Ting and Zhao Hua arrived, the people inside were discussing some things, Xiao Ting took the opportunity to take a glance, they were mostly women, many people gathered together, and surrounded one of the women in plain clothes.
Seems to be persuading something, Xiao Ting heard the word 'sorrow', Xiao Ting was speechless, why did the empress dowager mention mourning on her birthday
Who is this dead
Although she was curious, she didn't ask. After all, according to Hong Shao's words, she has too many criminal records, and walking in the palace is inappropriate, so she should speak less and do more.
After Zhao Hua went up to meet with Concubine Shu, Xiao Ting sat down beside Shao Hua, not superior, very casual.
In terms of status, I am afraid that apart from Concubine Shu, she is probably the tallest here.
"I called you all here because I have something to say."
"Concubine Shu has something to do, but it's okay to say it." Finally talking about business, Xiao Ting minimized her sense of existence as much as possible.
Xiao Ting knew the speaker. When she first arrived in this time and space, she met Yun Lanzhi, one of the so-called admirers of the Nine Princes.
As a girl of An Guogong's mansion, her food and clothing expenses are naturally unusual, and she is deeply favored by the empress dowager, and the empress likes it. Dressing up so well, it seems that she is bound to win the third prince and concubine.
The last time I chose a concubine for the third prince, I heard that the candidates for the third prince's concubine belonged to Yun Lanzhi and Xiao Mei. If she hadn't made trouble deliberately to punish Xiao Mei that time, they might have all got their wish.
But today, Xiao Mei couldn't participate, it seemed that she was the only one, no wonder the little girls next to her looked at Yun Lanzhi, their eyes were not so friendly, they were all a little frustrated.
After all, Yun Lanzhi participated and they had nothing to do.
However, they are all well-decorated.
All of them are gorgeous, but they live up to their temperament and reputation, they are all carefully dressed.
Xiao Ting curled her lips, blaming the two girls, Hong Shao and Lv Hua, for calling her up early, and ended up dressing up like this.
Looking at those women, Xiao Ting looked down at herself again, only to realize that although she was dressed like this, she looked like a grass chicken falling into the nest of a phoenix. No wonder these little ones were always staring at her, and she had never seen it before.
Sitting on the high platform, Concubine Shu, with her indifferent expression and unearthly aura, was more immortal than the Ninth Prince. She had seen her when the concubine and aunt had an accident in Yaochi Palace last time.
That attitude of not showing any emotions or anger under any circumstances is very similar to the Ninth Prince, but the difference is that the Ninth Prince has the feeling of a celestial being, but with majesty.
As for Concubine Shu, she still had Qing Ning's gaze, even if she was talking about troublesome things at the moment, she was still calm and peaceful, not like a person in the world.
And in her arms, there was a little one who was babbling, and it was the Thirteenth Prince.
"In the past, every banquet has the same piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, a talent show." Concubine Shu said while coaxing the little one in her arms.
"This time, I hope that everyone can come up with some special programs. The palace brought you together just to ask, who has a good idea?"
The girls looked at each other in blank dismay, and most of the girls who could appear here were girls from the royal family or female relatives of high-ranking officials.
All the girls looked at each other in blank dismay, they grew up so big, they learned these things, how could they have any other things
Besides, haven't women been gentle and virtuous since ancient times, and they are the most popular when they are knowledgeable and reasonable
Other than piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what else can I sell
So, unable to explain why for a while, Xiao Ting sat next to Zhaohua, boredly picking among the fruit bowls on the white jade low table, but she didn't find the grapes she liked, and she was a little absent-minded.
"Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess is unique in the capital, she is unique, maybe she has a good idea."
Xiao Ting was nominated suddenly, she was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to meet the amused eyes of everyone and Concubine Shu's eyes with a hint of joy.
Zhao Hua stared at Yun Lanzhi with some displeasure, knowing what the three girls meant.
To say that Ting'er is unique and unique is to say that she is too outrageous!
"Am I wrong? The reputation of the Ninth Princess has already spread outside the imperial capital, needless to say. She often goes to brothels and taverns, and even dabbles in casinos. The most we can do is to buy clothes, jewelry and dinner. Naturally, I am not as knowledgeable as the Ninth Princess."
What Yun Lanzhi said was correct, but her tone was a bit strange, anyone could tell that she was not praising Xiao Ting at all, but hurting her.
Zhaohua was angry, but couldn't refute, Xiao Ting shouted to stop, then changed from cross-legged to kneeling on the cushion, and asked, "Why do you feel like you are arguing?"
Every blink of her light eyes seemed to carry a different meaning.
Zhaohua and Yun Lanzhi were speechless for a moment. They had never seen such a person. They were arguing about her, but the person involved didn't understand the meaning of a single word.
It really hit the cotton with a fist, and there was nowhere to put it.
Concubine Shu broke the deadlock when she heard the words, and said with a gentle smile, "The Ninth Concubine is really temperamental. This palace is passing on the emperor's will, so this time the Empress Dowager is celebrating her birthday, and she wants to put on some unusual programs. Everyone is invited to come up with ideas. If the Ninth Concubine has any good ideas, it's okay to say."
After Concubine Shu's long series of explanations, Xiao Ting finally understood what they were arguing about, so she said conveniently, "The programs in the palace are all old-fashioned, and they are really not interesting. Every time people watch them, they want to sleep, but if I really want my advice, would you be willing?"
She was looking at other people, and Yun Lanzhi was not happy at that time, and said, "Then we have to see what your idea is, if you smear us, then we have to respond to you?"
The other girls also nodded.
Xiao Ting was speechless, sneered and said, "I said that you are too guarded. You are all preparing to participate in the election and want to be the third prince and concubine. I already have the Ninth Prince. I have a husband myself and I won't compete with you."
A chuckle came from behind Yun Lanzhi in the crowd, Xiao Ting glanced at it. It was a little girl who looked a year or two younger than her.
