When Abao walked in from outside, he happened to see His Highness holding a woman in his arms. A woman
Abao's eyes widened immediately, his legs went weak, and he said tremblingly, "Your Highness, this slave is going to get out right now!" Darling, did he accidentally break the master's good deeds
"stop!"
Xiao Junxi glanced at A Bao in a funny way and sneered, "You ghost, are you too clever today?"
Abao turned around, but did not dare to look into his arms, but His Highness and the woman were both wet, and it was difficult not to turn around. Abao secretly cursed his father for being so wanton, but he said, "I am stupid, I have always been stupid." After saying this, he also gave him a silly smile like Abao.
Xiao Junxi glared at him and said, "Go and ask Yuegui to bring a palace maid's costume, then carry a sedan and take this girl to Lanzhi Palace via a small road. Just tell her that her wound split open and she fainted here." Now, let the Seventh Princess quickly call for the imperial doctor. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Abao nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll go right away." Then he ran out of the inner hall. Although he was a little eunuch, he was still a human being. If he saw something like that that he shouldn't have seen, ten heads wouldn't be enough to cut him off! Abao felt that he cherished his life, so after finishing the matter immediately, he sent Yuegui into the inner hall, while he only guarded outside.
Although Xie Ruzhuo was a little dizzy, she could hear the conversation clearly. Feeling that the hands changing her clothes clearly belonged to a woman, she relaxed her consciousness and passed out completely.
When I woke up again, the sky outside was already pitch black. A niche of incense was burning in the room, exuding a sweet smell. The furnishings in the house obviously belong to the woman, but they are not hers.
There was the sound of footsteps. Xie Ruzhuo raised his eyes and saw the seventh princess walking in.
As soon as he saw Xie Ruzhuo waking up, Xiao Xinning's eyes flashed with joy, but he said rudely and mockingly, "Xie Ruzhuo, I asked you to see a patient, why did you turn yourself into a patient? But you are really tenacious. Yes, the imperial doctor said in the afternoon that you would have to wake up tomorrow, but you woke up now. Well, that’s fine, I was just worried about where to sleep tonight."
Xiao Xinning was talking to herself, but when she saw no response, she added, "Why didn't you say anything and took over my bed without saying thank you?"
Xie Ruzhuo smiled bitterly and said in a hoarse voice, "Can you trouble the princess to pour me a glass of water?" She wanted to speak, but her throat was uncomfortable and she couldn't speak.
Hearing this, Xiao Xinning suddenly bulged her round eyes and said, "How dare you call me on this princess." Even so, she walked to the table obediently, poured a cup of tea, and tested the water to see if it was hot. Putting it to Xie Ruzhuo's mouth, he said with great displeasure, "Here you go, drink it."
His throat was so dry that it was about to burn. Xie Ruzhuo was naturally not polite. He took it and drank it all.
Xiao Xinning looked amused and said, "Didn't you fall into the water today? Why are you still so short of water?"
"Princess, although I fell into the water, you can't drink a mouthful of that water." After drinking the water, Xie Ruzhuo felt better, and then he seriously corrected Xiao Xinning's point of view.
"You are quite interesting. Let me ask you, why did your wound burst open after it was so good? Brother Huang scared me when he brought you here. I thought you were dead." Xiao Xinning was unhappy when she thought of the scene at that time. She curled her lips, which frightened her at that moment.
Although Xiao Xinning was a bit unruly, he was not bad at heart. Seeing the flash of distress in her eyes, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but smile and said, "Princess, doesn't she know that even a humble life can live a long life? Don't worry, I won't die."
"You are quite capable of self-deprecation." Xiao Xinning put the tea cup back on the table and said, "The banquet is about to start, are you going to go?" Although Xiao Xinning was a little disgusted with Xie Ruzhuo, it was not true disgust after all. Seeing how sick she looked now, he subconsciously wanted her to stay in his palace.
But he didn't want to, Xie Ruzhuo said, "Go."
"How are you going to get out of here in your current state?"
Seeing the disbelief in Xiao Xining's eyes, Xie Ruzhuo stood up and said, "Of course I'm walking." After saying that, she got out of bed and put on her shoes, then looked at her pale face in the bronze mirror and asked, "Can I borrow them?" Princess rouge?”
"Xie Ruzhuo, you are injured now." Xiao Xining was still entangled in this issue. In her opinion, shouldn't you take a good rest if you are injured
Seeing that she didn't answer, Xie Ruzhuo took it as her acquiescence, picked up the rouge on the table and smeared it on his face. After a while, the woman in the mirror lost her sickliness and changed into a charming look.
"Thank you for your hospitality, princess. Shall we go over now?"
Hearing Xie Ruzhuo's inquiry, Xiao Xinning sighed helplessly, "I've finally convinced you. You can come with me." After saying that, she added, "If it weren't for your eldest sister's sake, I would I don’t care about you!”
However, Xiao Xinning had some changes in her heart towards Xie Ruzhuo. The people in the palace are all refined through cultivation. Although she is a little naive, she is not stupid. In fact, she could guess why Xie Ruzhuo insisted on going there. There were all kinds of people present, so it was hard to guarantee that someone would say something unpleasant. She went there just to silence everyone.
In fact, Xiao Xinning only guessed one of them correctly. Xie Ruzhuo wanted to go because there was another important matter.
The banquet was at Longqing Hall. The banquet had not started yet, but the ladies from all the families had already arrived. In the huge hall, each family sat according to their rank, and the Xie family was naturally the first on the left.
During the day, Xiao Xinning had already asked the palace maid to pass the message. At this time, seeing the two people coming together, Qiao was not surprised. However, after Xie Ruzhuo came over, she asked with some worry, "Zhuo'er, how is your wound?"
Xie Ruzhuo patted Mrs. Qiao's hand reassuringly and laughed softly, "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine." After saying that, he sat down next to Mrs. Qiao.
Seeing that her face looked okay, Xie Ruyue subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she was about to ask her something, she saw the seventh princess walking towards her with a smile on her face.
Although the two met for the first time last night, they were like old friends.
Seeing the Seventh Princess and Xie Ruyue chatting happily, the Second Lady Li immediately winked at Xie Rufei. The latter received the look, lifted up her skirt and walked over to greet the Seventh Princess, "I have met the Seventh Princess."
Xie Rufei is not tall enough, but her baby face is particularly pleasing. Xiao Xinning chatted happily with Xie Ruyue, and there was a little beauty with a sweet smile in front of her. He immediately asked her to sit down.
With Xie Rufei as a precedent, those who wanted to get close to her flocked to talk to the Seventh Princess.
Xie Ruzhuo sat outside the bustling circle and looked at the people in the hall without missing a trace. Then he turned to Mrs. Qiao and whispered a few words in her ear.
After hearing this, Ms. Qiao's smile did not change, but she said, "I had already ordered someone to twist her home during the day, and I specifically told her to be under her supervision. Just don't worry."
Of course she was talking about Dongmei. Qiao has been immersed in the inner house for many years and has a high sensitivity to crises. During the day, Xie Ruzhuo could only say one sentence and stared at Dongmei. Mrs. Qiao felt something was wrong and ordered people to take Dongmei back.
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo smiled in surprise and thanked him sincerely.
Qiao clapped her hand and laughed softly, "You are my daughter, so I will naturally take care of your affairs."
Xie Ruzhuo was moved and felt a little closer to Mr. Qiao.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was divided into two main halls. The foreign ministers had fun with the emperor in the Zhaohe Hall, while the family members stayed with the noble concubines, Xianfei and others in the Longqing Hall.
The first queen died early, and Concubine Ye Guifei and Concubine Xian took care of things in the palace together. Speaking of Concubine Ye, she was quite affectionate. She was originally the biological sister of the late empress, and they had the same mother and the same mother, and they had a very good relationship. When the late queen passed away, she was still waiting to be married. For the sake of the son left by her eldest sister, she resolutely entered the palace and took Xiao Junxi to her side to raise him. The emperor was grateful for her love for the late empress. Although Concubine Ye had only given birth to one daughter in recent years, her position as concubine had remained untouched.
Seeing the wise concubine and the noble concubine coming in one after another, there was a continuous line of greetings in the hall.
The sound of drums happened to be heard outside, and the banquet at Showa Hall had already begun. Concubine Xian said, "Pass the meal." Then the palace servants in colorful gauze clothes filed in and put all kinds of delicacies on the table.
Xie Ruzhuo hadn't eaten anything for a day and was already starving. After the dishes were placed, he started eating by himself.
The Zhang family is next to the Xie family, and Zhang Xiuyan is very close to her by chance. When he saw Xie Ruzhuo's eating appearance, he immediately frowned and said, "Isn't Miss Xie a lady from a famous family? Why is her eating appearance so indecent?"
There were flies buzzing around while eating. Xie Ruzhuo felt unhappy but didn't show it on his face. After finishing the last sip of soup, she wiped her hands leisurely, looked at Zhang Xiuyan, and said, "Miss Zhang, don't you know that you can't eat or sleep without talking? You like to look around when eating, so I leave you." From so far away, you can see everything?"
These words were said so unceremoniously that Zhang Xiuyan suddenly became frustrated, "Who wants to look at you!"
"Thank you very much, Miss Zhang." After Xie Ruzhuo said this, he took a piece of fruit, put it in his mouth, and stopped talking to her.
The female relatives do not drink, but singing and dancing are indispensable. A woman in colorful neon clothes spun in. As she waved her feathered clothes, she looked like a fairy descending from the Nine Heavens. She was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Before the strings and bamboo orchestral music ceased, I could hear the clear and clear music, and a female voice sang leisurely, "There is a beauty, by the water."
Xie Ruzhuo had only been eating the fruit before, but when he saw the woman's face, he was immediately startled.
After the dance, there was continuous applause in the hall. Concubine Ye first asked with a smile, "This figure is really rare. You are not a singer, are you? Which family are you from?"
"My dearest concubine, I am Murong Wan from the Great Food Country. I have admired your country's culture for a long time. I am here today to experience the Mid-Autumn Festival. You will welcome me, right?"
When the woman spoke, she had a sense of arrogance, just like the beautiful and fragrant peony, which is astonishingly rich.
Everyone present started whispering, saying that this woman was arrogant.
Only Xie Ruzhuo's face turned cold.
Murong Wan, she does have arrogance. As the princess of the Dashi Kingdom, she was sent to the Central Plains by the Emperor of Dashi to get married. But Murong Wan openly said that if she wanted to marry, she would marry the future prince. In her previous life, Xiao Junhan was her guest! If that was all, that was all, but in the end, Murong Wan married Xiao Junxi and gave birth to his son!
If Xie Ruzhuo hadn't accidentally discovered that this little baby, who had just turned one year old and was still talkative, hugged Xiao Junhan and called him daddy, and the latter agreed lovingly, she would not have known that this rumored aloof and aloof princess from a neighboring country was... He is so shameless!
