Chapter 624: Family Banquet

Whether it was Xue Jinyi, Ai Yun, or Fan Zhaoyi's mother and son, they all didn't seem to hear this, and they didn't even look at the source of the sound.

This makes the person who said this extremely embarrassing.

Fan Zhaoyi lowered her voice and said, "That's Qin Meiren, the biological mother of the third prince and the second princess. gave birth to a pair of children and was just a beauty, which shows that she is not favored in front of the emperor, but she is just a sycophant in front of the queen's mother. ”

Xue Jinyi smiled faintly.

Qin Meiren walked up to them and saluted, not calling one of her sons and daughters "big brother", but turning her head and shouting "hello fourth brother" to the fourth prince.

Afterwards, the third prince and the second princess hid timidly behind Qin Meiren and looked over with some fear.

Fan Zhaoyi sneered and gave a golden shake on her hairdresser.

In such a comparison, although her fourth prince is younger, his words and deeds are much more decent.

Don't look at the palace maids around who are half-hanging their heads, and they don't dare to make a sound, but nine times out of ten, what happens here will reach the emperor's ears.

Let the emperor take a good look at how smart the young four princes are, and they are exceptionally good among the princes!

Fan Zhaoyi raised her chin proudly slightly, and beckoned to Qin Meiren's children with a smile, "I haven't seen the two of you for a while, come over and let me take a good look." ”

Qin Meiren was reluctant, but several people present were of higher status than herself, so she had to pull a pair of children's arms, "Go, go and ask Zhaoyi Niangniang for some snacks." ”

The two brothers and sisters were pushed twice by Qin Meiren, and then they came to Fan Zhaoyi's mother and son with a twist.

Fan Zhaoyi took two pieces of dim sum to the brother and sister, and then said to Xue Jinyi: "Princess Chu shouldn't have seen the third prince and the second princess yet, right?" ”

"I haven't seen it." Xue Jinyi looked at the brother and sister, "The third brother is good, the second sister is good." ”

As she spoke, Ai Yun squinted coldly.

The third prince and the second princess glanced at each other, took the snacks, and quickly retreated behind Qin Meiren, as if they were frightened.

Qin Meiren frowned, and said angrily: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, these are your younger brothers and sisters, why do you look at them with such fierce eyes?" ”

The corners of Fan Zhaoyi's lips were slightly hooked, as a lackey in front of Empress Cai, how could Qin Meiren not be able to resist mocking and teasing King Chu for a few words? In particular, the contact between the king and his wife of Chu and the third prince and the second princess was not pleasant, and Qin Meiren was eager to protect her children, so there must be some disputes.

Breaking off the queen's wings is a great thing for her.

"Fierce?" Xue Jinyi looked dazed, looked at Ai Yun's eyes again, and asked, "Why can't I see it?" ”

"You're his wife, of course you can't see it." Qin Meiren almost rolled her eyes.

Xue Jinyi smiled and said, "Qin Meiren, the third brother and the second sister are also relatives of the King of Chu, how can you see it?" ”

"......" Qin Meiren choked and sneered: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really a blessing, he doesn't open his mouth to explain anything, and his wife comes forward to speak for him." ”

Xue Jinyi said: "The King of Chu has never liked to talk, this is something that everyone in the palace knows, why don't Qin Meiren know?" ”

She paused, as if waiting for Qin Meiren's answer.

But Qin Meiren was stunned for a moment and didn't answer, and Xue Jinyi continued, making her look stupid.

"Or does Qin Meiren know that King Chu has this temperament, and deliberately say something ugly, anyway, King Chu will not refute, so she can satisfy a little vanity in her heart? After all, stepping on high and degrading can highlight your extraordinary. ”

Qin Meiren's face turned pale, and the two choices given by Princess Chu were not good things for her.

admits that she doesn't know, it seems that she is stupider than the cheap maids in the palace.

admitted, it is to deliberately belittle the king of Chu...... is a prince, and from the fourth concubine down to him, she has to bow her head in front of him, not to mention that she is just a beauty, isn't that deliberately giving Princess Chu and Fan Zhaoyi the opportunity to punish her?

Qin Meiren was in a dilemma, and Xue Jinyi turned her eyes to look at the third prince and the second princess.

They are all young people in their teens, and their status is noble, but the demeanor they show is so restrained and timid, she can see that it is not a disguise made in front of people to paralyze the outside world, and she can't help but think of Xue Shen and Xue Fangyi, or the former Xue Jinyi.

The atmosphere of the family and the education of the parents are really very important.

Xue Jinyi sighed lightly, her thoughts wandered for a while, and when she settled down again, she saw Qin Meiren's face happy, and she rushed out of the water pavilion as if asking for help, and saluted very respectfully.

"The concubine has seen the queen's mother, the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine."

Xue Jinyi and the others also stood up and saluted.

In front of Queen Cai, Qin Meiren grieved to Xue Jinyi's side.

Empress Cai didn't see it, went straight to the side of the main seat, nodded to them and said, "Since it's a family banquet, there's no need for so many false courtesies, get up quickly." ”

After everyone got up, Qin Meiren enthusiastically took a pair of children's hands and came to the queen, smiling and offering courtesy.

Concubine De and Concubine Xian sat down opposite Xue Jinyi, both smiled and nodded at her, and chatted a few words about beauty cream.

Empress Cai glanced over a few times, and saw that they were chatting happily, and coughed lightly in dissatisfaction.

Qin Meiren, who was busy showing off to Empress Cai how serious her children were in studying, was stunned, looked at Empress Cai a little dazed, and then followed her eyes to look at the few people present.

The water pavilion was still laughing and talking just now, and it was quiet in the blink of an eye.

Empress Cai's eyes finally fell on "Puyang Xuan" and asked, "Xuan'er has returned to Zongzheng Temple to do things recently, right?" ”

"Yes." Ai Yun replied.

Empress Cai glanced outside the door with a look of concern, "What do you have to do in Zongzheng Temple, are you busy?" ”

"Thank you for your concern," Ai Yun replied in a calm and indifferent tone, "I don't have much to do on weekdays when I sort out the files. ”

"Well, that's good." Empress Cai's smile deepened.

Before she finished speaking, someone outside said loudly: "The emperor has arrived." ”

The people hurried up and saluted.

The emperor's face couldn't see anything, his eyes didn't fall on anyone, and he walked towards the main seat unhurriedly.

Xue Jinyi peeked at it, and then looked at Queen Cai, who had a bit of smugness in her eyebrows, and vaguely felt something.

Empress Cai calculated that the emperor arrived at the door at this time, so she deliberately asked about the errand of Zongzheng Temple, and Ai Yun answered truthfully, and there is really nothing important to do in Zongzheng Temple, after all, the first generation of emperors in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are not many royal families, clans, and relatives left in the capital, and the emperor's burial place after a hundred years has also been repaired, and the daily maintenance and management is very simple.

Does it mean that the emperor knows that Pu Yangxuan is just a waste thing with nothing to do?

No...... It's not that simple.
