Finally listened to Zhao Ling nagging her at the gate of the palace, and Chu Xingyue finally entered the palace.

Because she is the identity of Princess Ling, and the Quewei Palace is a little far away from the palace gate, as soon as she enters the palace gate, she will be greeted by a soft sedan chair, and after walking for about a stick of incense, she will arrive at the rumored Quewei Palace.

Zhou Yanran is worthy of being the favorite concubine of the sixth palace, just holding a small birthday banquet, the whole of the Quewei Palace was decorated with extremely gorgeous and noble, extravagant and exquisite.

Even the palace servants who were responsible for welcoming and sending them at the gate of the Quewei Palace wore a new and exquisite palace costume, and each face had the appearance of being superior to the favored concubine palace.

Because Chu Xingyue's identity is not ordinary, the moment the soft sedan car fell, there were palace people with smiling faces, and palace people had already entered the palace to inform them.

It seems that the palace maids up and down the palace are very good by Zhou Yanran*, all of them are knowledgeable, and they do not lose their proportions.

It is said that to see if your opponent is a brain, as long as you look at the people serving around her, you can judge one or two, and smart masters will * make smart and sensible minions, only stupid people will be with stupid people.

Today's view is really beneficial.

At least let her know that Zhou Yanran not only has a beautiful and young appearance, but also has a careful mind.

No wonder even Zhao Ling commented on her, she is a character who is so deep in the city that he can't even see it.

Zhou Yanran is the unique protagonist today, and she is naturally treated everywhere she goes.

Today, she is dressed up very glamorously and movingly, and a bright yellow first-class imperial concubine dress is worn on her, which makes the whole person noble; The eyebrows and eyes with extremely delicate eye makeup are flowing with a touching style, and every smile is just right as if it has gone through countless exercises.

Seeing this scene, everyone present must be able to understand why the woman in front of her, who doesn't seem to be very old, can be on an equal footing with the lord of the harem.

With such a rare beautiful appearance, coupled with this delicately cultivated noble bearing, what man in the world would not be tempted?

When Chu Xingyue appeared at Zhou Yanran's birthday banquet, it attracted the attention of many people, and on the hunting ground that day, she defeated the first warrior of Northern Mongolia with three arrows, and her chic demeanor had already spread in Beijing.

It's just that she has always been a low-key master who is not good at socializing, so whether she is in the hunting palace or after returning to Beijing, she can't avoid people, and her mysterious whereabouts make the outside world speculate about her.

Today, it is rare to see the legendary character on the birthday of the concubine, and the big guy naturally treats her as if she is some kind of novelty, and can't help but look up and down.

Chu Xingyue also noticed the curious gazes that everyone threw at her, to be honest, this kind of look that seemed to be looking at an alien creature really made her difficult to digest for a while.

But fortunately, Zhou Yanran was used to manipulating the atmosphere, and took the initiative to take Chu Xingyue's hand and sit beside her.

After a few words, he actually began to call Sister Chu Xingyue directly, and her affectionate and gentle strength could simply make people drown in her gentle offensive.

When everyone saw that even Concubine Zhou treated Chu Xingyue so politely, they all greeted each other, and after a birthday, everyone laughed and laughed and was polite everywhere.

It's just that only Chu Xingyue herself knows that her mouth is almost stiffened by the smirk on her face.

Now, she really admires these ancient women in the back house more and more, who said that they only know how to compete for favor and pleasure all day long?

The communication between her women also needs a good level, just this fake smile, it is very knowledgeable.

Look at Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis sitting under the seat and Mrs. Ningjun Wang sitting next to her, obviously they both look down on each other in private, but now sitting together, they make a sisterly appearance in front of everyone.

Look at the arc of this laughter, and then look at the action of this toast, it is simply art.

Chu Xingyue was really admiring when she saw this scene, and at the same time, she was deeply aware of her own shortcomings, it seemed that compared with these long-sleeved predecessors who were good at dancing, she was still too immature.

"I heard that Princess Ling's archery skills are very powerful, that day in the hunting ground, even the first general of Beimeng lost to you, I don't know that today, with the birthday of the mother, I will be lucky enough to have another princess's demeanor?"

Just as Chu Xingyue was slowly drinking the fruit wine in front of her, thinking about finding a way to leave in another two quarters of an hour, a crisp girl's voice suddenly came from under the seat.

When I looked up, I saw a little girl as old as eight or nine years old talking to her.

As soon as these words came out, everyone who had been communicating happily at the banquet threw a novel look at Chu Xingyue.

Chu Xingyue, who was stared at by a pair of big eyes, almost exploded.

Zhou Yanran also looked at the woman who spoke, and after seeing who it was, she immediately smiled and said, "It turned out to be you, a ghost spirit, what?" I didn't take you to the spring hunt last time, do you still remember it? Dare to ask Princess Ling to perform archery for you on the birthday of the palace? ”

The girl heard Zhou Yanran's laughter and scolding, but she was not afraid at all, but waved her arms excitedly.

"Auntie, this is not fair, Qin'er was sick during the spring hunt, so I didn't go with my aunt; After coming back, my brother said to Qin'er that Princess Ling's archery skills were the most powerful he had ever seen in his life, and she could shoot the copper coins thrown up blindfolded, but Qin'er didn't believe it, so today I wanted to see if my brother had deceived me. ”

Zhou Yanran smiled and glared at her lively and naughty little niece, and looked at Chu Xingyue apologetically: "Princess Ling, please forgive me, this is the child of my eldest sister's family, named Si Qin, who has been spoiled since he was a child, and he is neither big nor small." ”

"Aunt is counting the Qin'er again, in fact, I am not the only one who wants to see Princess Ling shoot arrows."

Si Qinxin pointed at many people and said, "They all want to see it, I heard it just now, and they said that Princess Ling's stunts are much more interesting than the patio juggling team." ”

Si Qin said these words very coquettishly and straightforwardly, but as soon as these words came out, they immediately made the faces of the people present change.

Oops hey! This is going to do something!

The smile on Zhou Yanran's face also disappeared by three points with Si Qin's words, and there was a fierce color between her eyebrows: "Qin'er, don't talk nonsense, don't apologize to Princess Ling soon." ”

Si Qin looked at Zhou Yanran, who suddenly murdered her, incomprehensibly, with grievances in her eyes: "Auntie, did I do something wrong?" ”

The little girl was in tears, it was really pitiful.

When Chu Xingyue, who was the party concerned, peeled a peanut for herself as if she was nothing, and without waiting for Zhou Yanran to say anything first, she opened her mouth first.

"Miss Si didn't do anything wrong, I really didn't expect that this princess's archery skills are actually a third-rate commodity in the eyes of everyone."

This was said lightly, but it made everyone present break out in a cold sweat.

You must know that these words were all joked by them casually when they were joking in private, but they didn't expect this kind of thing to be said by a little girl in public, and it was also heard by Princess Ling herself.

Who is this Princess Ling?

That is the wife of King Ling, who has a lot of power and can compete with the princes for the throne, wouldn't it also offend King Ling if she offended her?

Thinking of all this, everyone who was still laughing turned pale, and secretly scolded this ignorant little girl, who dared to say anything, innocently implicated them.

Zhou Yanran was also a little flustered, this episode made by Si Qin was not in her plan.

Today, if Chu Xingyue was allowed to leave the palace safely like this, wouldn't her painstaking arrangements be in vain?

No way!

Until the last moment, she must not give up.

Zhou Yanran hurriedly looked at Chu Xingyue with a smile and explained: "Sister, don't be angry, Si Qin is still young, and many times he can't even understand what he says, so why do you take a child's words seriously?" Come, my sister toasts you, and the right is to make amends to you for that child. ”

Chu Xingyue immediately put on a panicked posture and took the wine handed over by Zhou Yanran, with an honest and loyal look on her face.

"Today is the birthday of the concubine Niangniang, how can there be a reason for the mother to make amends to Yue'er, in fact, Yue'er is not angry, but she is just a little sad in her heart."

Saying that, Chu Xingyue slowly put the wine she handed back on the table under Zhou Yanran's smiling eyes, pinched the handkerchief, and continued: "Since Xiaoyue'er learned archery with her father, her father said to Yue'er that people who practice martial arts practice martial arts, one is to strengthen the body, and the other is to protect others. ”

"In our Jingbei Houfu, even a girl who burns a fire in the room will do a few punches and kicks, and learning these is not to make herself a 'juggler' with super high skills, but to be a person in Jingbei Houfu, even if it is as small as a screw, you must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country in the Houfu."

Speaking of this, Chu Xingyue's eyes swept coldly over the people sitting at the table, and saw that the women of the back house who claimed to be noble didn't even dare to raise their heads after hearing her words, and then they felt a little happier.

"Yue'er is sad that Yue'er's painstaking archery skills have become a funny gossip in his mouth, and he tries his best to repel his opponents on the hunting ground, but it has become a joke in everyone's words; Yue'er is really sad, Concubine Niangniang, please redeem Yue'er for being unreasonable, and I want to go back to the house first. ”

She's leaving?

Zhou Yanran immediately stood up, she had always behaved calmly, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Chu Xingyue's arm, and the smile on her face was almost unbearable.

"Sister, it's all the fault of this palace that it hurt my sister's heart, if you let your sister go back like this, then this palace will be difficult to sleep."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yanran glanced at Meng'e, who was waiting on the side, Meng'e hurriedly walked over and supported Chu Xingyue, and then said: "Yes, princess, my mother regards you as a sister, if you leave like this, won't it make her feel sad?" ”

Chu Xingyue pretended to be in a dilemma, but quietly glanced at Zhou Yanran and Meng'e out of the corner of her eyes.

These two masters and servants, singing and harmonizing, really cooperate wonderfully, but why does she think there is something greasy in this?

Could it be that Zhao Ling's crow's mouth was right, she might really get into trouble today?
