Chapter 27
In the blink of an eye, Concubine Ning Guifei's birthday is coming up in the palace, and young ladies of all ages are getting ready to enter the palace.

On this day, Xia Keyu and Xia Kelian entered the palace together in Xia's carriage.

Xia Keyu was wearing a light blue Shu brocade dress with engraved gold silk button pattern, which was specially made and sent over by Prince Liang's mansion.The materials of the clothes are complicated and the colors are simple and elegant, which makes Xia Keyu look extremely extravagant.

Xia Kelian on the side was wearing a white magnolia flower dress, the material was much worse in comparison, she was full of jealousy when she saw it, and cursed viciously in her heart:

"I'd like to see how long you can survive."

But he still didn't forget to say with a bit of sourness on his mouth: "My sister's clothes look a little thin."

Xia Keyu said lightly: "It's okay, it's not cold in the palace."

As she spoke, she looked at Luying, Xia Kelian's maidservant.Luying held a sandalwood-colored guqin box in her arms, and Xia Keyu knew that the picture of peonies must be hidden in it.

Thinking of this, Xia Keyu gave Qing Ya a wink.

Several people got into the carriage immediately, Xia Keyu took out the cakes she had prepared in advance, and motioned Xia Kelian to eat:

"There are so many people in the palace, those things may not be dared to enter, my sister will put her stomach first."

Xia Kelian's face was full of vigilance, and she didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Xia Keyu would drug her.

Seeing this, Xia Keyu twirled a piece of pastry and ate it, and then said with a smile: "Sister, eat some, otherwise, where will the strength come from?"

As he said that, he also gave Qingya and Luying a piece of pastry each.

Xia Kelian was very wary, and she resolutely refused to eat the pastries Xia Keyu gave her.

Outside the palace gate, there was already a long line of carriages of ladies from various families.

The Xia family is just a fifth-rank official, so naturally they can only be photographed at the end of the team.

The closer she got to the gate of the palace, the more nervous Xia Kelian was, and she repeatedly fixed her makeup in front of the bronze mirror, fearing that there was something wrong with her.

Seeing this, Xia Keyu said with a smile: "My sister is beautiful, she will definitely be loved by the third prince, so don't be nervous."

Everyone loves to hear good words. When Xia Kelian heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she remembered that Xia Keyu was already engaged, so naturally she couldn't compete with her.

Thinking of this, she was in a good mood, and looked at Xia Keyu, but she couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous.This stupid Xia Keyu didn't know that her fiancé was planning to divorce.

The line moved slowly, and finally it was the Xia family's girls' turn to get off the bus.

Xia Kelian was impatient, so she asked Lu Ying to help her get out of the car.Xia Keyu at the other end also jumped out of the car on his own.

As soon as she landed on the ground, she lost her footing and fell on Xia Kelian, crushing Xia Kelian's body.

"Sorry, sister, I didn't stand firm."

Xia Kelian exclaimed, and wanted to get up, but was held by Xia Keyu and couldn't move.

Just at this moment, Xia Keyu stepped on her shoes, and the tiaras on their heads were entangled.

"Hey, sister, slow down, don't ruin your hairstyle." Xia Keyu said ouch.

Xia Kelian was full of anger in her heart, angry and impatient. After hearing Xia Keyu's words, she had no choice but to urge Lu Ying to quickly untie the two headdresses.

The delay of the two attracted the prying eyes of the people nearby.

Xia Kelian was clearly furious, but she still had to put on that gentle and sweet smile on her face.

Finally, with the help of the green warbler, the headdresses of the two were separated. Fortunately, there was not too much damage.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I was a little anxious." Xia Keyu pretended to apologize.

Everyone around was there, and they could hear Xia Keyu's words clearly.

Even if Xia Kelian didn't want to, she could only pretend to be gentle and magnanimous to take Xia Keyu's arm, put on an appearance of sisterly love, and said with a smile:
"What did my sister say? We sisters don't need to be so polite. Let's enter the palace."

At this moment, Qing Ya slowly got down from the carriage, and Lu Ying went to carry the piano box down.

It was the imperial concubine's birthday, and there were lights and festoons everywhere in the palace, with a beaming appearance.

The position of the Xia family is relatively low, and Xia Keyu and the two were assigned to the corner of the last row of seats.

Xia Keyu looked calm, but Xia Kelian at the side was staring greedily at the main seat. Sooner or later, she would also sit in that seat.

And today is the time for her to shine.

Before the banquet started, all the ladies present knew each other, chatting with each other in twos and threes.

Even Xia Kelian had someone come to chat with her, but Xia Keyu was alone,

Xia Keyu patted himself on the head, trying hard to recall why the original body didn't even have any friends?
This shot really reminded her.

The original body actually has a best friend, the best friend is Mu Xueshan, who is the daughter of Shaoqing of the fourth grade Taichang Temple.

The best friend has a gentle and generous personality, with a standard ladylike appearance, and the two have known each other since childhood, so it can be said that they handkerchiefs.

Her best friend, Mu Xueshan, has never disliked her lack of intelligence, and has always been careful to remind her not to be fooled by the sweet words of Aunt Rong and Xia Kelian.

It's a pity that after her best friend Mu Xueshan married He Zi'an, the youngest son of Cong Sanpin's Taipu Siqing who had been married since childhood, last year, the two of them played harmoniously and had a daughter.

It's just that Mu Xueshan's husband, who was already weak, became weaker day by day until he became terminally ill.

Under the instigation of Aunt Rong and Xia Kelian, the original body believed that her best friend was an unknown woman of Kefu, so she deliberately alienated Mu Xueshan.

Mu Xueshan did not reply to her letters, and deliberately cut off contact.

Xia Keyu learned from the original body's memory that Mu Xueshan, a close friend in her boudoir, did not have a good life in the future.

Mu Xueshan didn't come today because her husband passed away in the past few days.

After her death, the He family believed that Mu Xueshan was an ominous woman, so they kicked her and their infant daughter out of the house, and withheld Mu Xueshan's dowry.

As for Mu Xueshan's original natal family, her biological mother had long since passed away, and because the powerful stepmother was in charge of the family, Mu Xueshan was not allowed to return to her natal family.

Helpless, Mu Xueshan hugged her infant daughter and had nowhere to go, and finally chose to commit suicide.

Thinking of this scene, Xia Keyu's heart flashed with sympathy, since she had never done it once before, she must rescue Mu Xueshan.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the shrill voice of a little eunuch from the other end——the imperial concubine arrived.

The voice dragged on for an extremely long time, from far to near, and a person slowly walked over.

Immediately, all the people present hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully: "I wish the imperial concubine and empress a long life and a thousand years of prosperity!"

Obviously this set of words was used on the empress, but no one pointed out that the imperial concubine was overstepping.

Xia Keyu cautiously raised his head and looked at the imperial concubine.

 Thank you for your recommendation, thank you~
