Chapter 37 The Palace Banquet
"What happened?" Concubine Xiao panicked when she saw her like this, and hurriedly asked someone to untie the rope.

Remembering that Mu Weining played with herself last night, Sun Jinxin cried even harder without thinking: "It's all because of that Mu Weining! I was tied outside because of her... Auntie, you have to make the decision for me!"

Her face was already pale, but crying now made her look even more pathetic.

Concubine Xiao was also annoyed when she saw her favorite daughter-in-law being bullied like this.

If Mu Yuning could be obedient, she wouldn't mind letting her stay by her son's side.

But Mu Yuning has become jealous to such an extent!
As Sun Jinxin expected, Concubine Xiao's eyebrows frowned, and the distress in her eyes was replaced by hatred.

"Come here! Wake Mu Yuning up!" Concubine Xiao shook her sleeves vigorously, staring at the door angrily.

It seems that Mu Yuning really didn't take her seriously!

After listening to Concubine Xiao's attendants, they quickly followed her steps and opened the door for her.

Concubine Xiao walked into the room angrily, and saw that Mu Yuning was sleeping soundly in the bed, and her complexion was even worse. She turned her head and saw her attendant didn't know where to start, so she stepped forward in two or three steps.

"Mu Yuning! Get up for this Concubine!" Concubine Xiao's voice was a little hoarse because of anger, like playing a harp with a broken string.

As she spoke, she lifted the quilt off her body while raising her hand.

After being yelled at like this, Mu Weining barely woke up. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Concubine Xiao, but he didn't react much: "Ah? What's wrong?"

At this time, Concubine Xiao couldn't care that she didn't follow the etiquette and saluted, so she pointed at Sun Jinxin and questioned her: "How dare you tie Jinxin up in the yard overnight??"

Hearing that she was asking about this matter, Mu Yuning regained consciousness, and then pretended to be puzzled: "How do I know this? Isn't this what your good son did?"

Seeing Concubine Xiao bristling with anger, she continued to pretend to be confused just after waking up, and blinked at the other two, her eyes full of innocence.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with her, and it is convenient for her to watch the show by pretending to be innocent.

Presumably it was Sun Jinxin who had packed green tea and wanted to pour the dirty water on her head.

After listening to Mu Yuning's words, Concubine Xiao's original anger seemed to have been watered down, and she turned to look at Sun Jinxin.

Just now, Sun Jinxin only wanted to make Mu Yuning look good, and didn't think about how to deal with it later. Now the pressure was on her, and embarrassment appeared on her face.

"Then why don't you help me untie it?!" Sun Jinxin blushed for a long time before thinking of this counterattack.

After she finished speaking, Concubine Xiao had a reason to continue to get angry with Mu Yuning, so she stared.

Before she could answer, the sound of footsteps came from outside.

"Mother Concubine, Your Highness." Jun Zhuoheng walked in and bowed to Concubine Xiao.

Seeing her son coming, Concubine Xiao's complexion became much better.

Taking advantage of this time, Mu Yuning also got up from the bed.

After all, if only Concubine Xiao was there, she would be more relaxed. Now that Jun Zhuoheng is here, it is natural for her not to stay on the bed anymore.

"Mother and concubine, my son has no intention of taking a concubine." Jun Zhuoheng glanced at the three of them, and then said respectfully, "As King Xiao, you should put the country's affairs first. If you take a concubine, you are afraid that your son will be criticized by the people. Bar."

After saying this, Jun Zhuoheng straightened his clothes, and casually said: "The princess will go to eat with the king, and if the concubine has not eaten, come along with her."

Mu Yuning instantly admired his ability to change the subject, and when he turned his head, it turned out that Concubine Xiao was no longer able to say anything.

What's more, just now when Jun Zhuoheng asked about the meal, he was already stepping down the steps for Concubine Xiao.

Although Sun Jinxin next to her was not stupid, she could feel the change in the atmosphere. Seeing that she had been tied up overnight and let it go, her facial features became grim.

"Jin Xin should go too." Concubine Xiao specially instructed.

At the time when Concubine Xiao turned her head, Sun Jinxin regained her pitiful expression: "Thank you, Aunt Concubine."

Several people arrived at the dining table and had a rather hearty breakfast.

"Today there is a palace banquet in the palace, Wei Ning will take Jinxin to go with her." Dowager Xiao pretended to be careless and said.

Mu Yuning heard Concubine Xiao calling himself intimately, and always felt that there was a knife hidden in the name.

"I would like to follow the wishes of my mother and concubine." Mu Yuning agreed without hesitation.

Although she didn't want to join in the excitement, she still felt that Lingbao was important.

After all, Lingbao is also related to the prince, so he can take this opportunity to enter the palace and investigate.

And since it is a banquet, there must be many people participating, so it is not a bad thing to take advantage of this time to make more useful people.

Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows, and satisfaction appeared in her eyes when she saw her agreement.

At this time, Sun Jinxin had already tidied up, and she was not as embarrassed as she was just discovered this morning. Hearing that Concubine Xiao asked her to go with Mu Weining, she felt a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help but pouted.

But anyway, the two parties agreed, and she didn't want to disobey Concubine Xiao, so she followed Mu Weining into the carriage.

Since Mu Yuning is going too, then she must give this bitch a little color!
Thinking of Mu Yuning's arrogance last night, Sun Jinxin couldn't help biting her lower lip, thinking about how to embarrass her later.

Prince Xiao's mansion was not far from the palace, and the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace soon, before Mu Weining and Sun Jinxin got out of the carriage and walked to the banquet.

As soon as he entered the banquet, what Mu Yuning saw was full of female relatives.

She originally thought that the prince and the like would also be present, but she didn't expect to see all the court ladies chatting at the end of the room.

The desire to investigate in his heart was defeated, and Mu Yuning inevitably lost interest. Hearing those women's family members discussing gossip made him even more bored.

She found an inconspicuous place to sit down, and then looked at the flowers and plants around her to pass the time.

On the other hand, Sun Jinxin seemed to have arrived at her home court and started chatting with some lady or wife.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, why is Ms. Sun so haggard?" Originally, the female relatives were still chatting about other things, but Wang Xin's sharp eyes saw that Sun Jinxin's complexion was not good under the makeup at a glance, so she immediately yelled.

Wang Xin's voice was relatively loud. When he asked this question, people around him also looked over.

"That's right, did you not sleep well?" The other female relatives also began to care.

Because Sun Jinxin wandered around among the famous women's families all year round, she had a good relationship with them.

Seeing that someone noticed her, Sun Jinxin was overjoyed, and took advantage of this opportunity to trip Mu Yuning.

Although Mu Yuning's reputation cannot be ruined for the time being, it can be the first step in this matter.

After conceiving the lines in her mind, Sun Jinxin coughed lightly twice, pretending to be hesitant to whet the appetites of the others before starting her own performance.
