Chapter 657 Liufang Palace

Zhong Xinran frowned: "Since the news leaked today, Mrs. Lu has already expressed her dissatisfaction. Zhong Weiwei will not do such a thing to give people an excuse."

After all, Lu Ruosu is also the Empress of Zhenzong, who can be humiliated, irritated, and harsh. If someone is killed, Lu and Yushitai will not be able to bear it. If it really happens, it is not a joke.

No matter how much Chonghua protects his weaknesses, he can't keep Zhong Weiwei unscathed.How could Zhong Weiwei take such a big risk.

Mu Xi said gloomyly: "It's out of her hands! Duan Ren's banquet is for A Cai, and we must not only invite members of the clan. Wei Shi and Lu Shi will all be guests."

At the grand banquet, expose Zhong Weiwei's face, make her lose face, and give her a big crime, no matter how much Chonghua protects her shortcomings, she can't stop...

Zhong Xinran laughed, and even his body didn't hurt so much anymore.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for Princess Duanren's banquet, and all the female relatives of families above the third grade in Beijing had received invitations. In order to show respect for the elder sister, Chonghua specially asked people to open the Liufang Palace.

Liufang Palace is the place where the empresses of all dynasties feasted on their wives. It was built with a very spacious and magnificent hall. The palace is full of plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, which means the four gentlemen. The furnishings in the hall are even more luxurious and exquisite, with crystal curtains and golden candlesticks. , white jade incense burner, and silk carpet, none of them are rare treasures.

In the past, when Empress Dowager Wei was still a queen, she used to have a grand banquet here for her wives. Since she was promoted to empress dowager, and Chonghua hadn't been established yet, this place has been empty.

This is the first time it has opened in over three years.

The concubines in the palace were very excited, because they all entered the palace after Chonghua ascended the throne, so they had no chance to see this rare feast.

After Zhong Weiwei left the palace, everyone guessed that Lu Chun or Hu Zizhi would be the first to reopen Liufang Palace. When Zhong Weiwei came back, they guessed it would be her again, but they didn't expect it to be Duanren.

From this we can see how much His Majesty respects Princess Duanren and how disappointed Zhong Weiwei is.

Zhong Xinran wore a lake-blue dress, and stood quietly outside Liufang Palace, looking at the colorful concubines and maids inside, her heart felt as if she had been poured with yellow lotus juice, the pain was indescribable.

If back then, when Dad asked her if she would marry Chong Hua, and she had agreed to Dad, would everything be different?

No, she was just ignorant back then, if there was no Zhong Weiwei, Chonghua would still be hers, and the person who is feasting here at this moment must be her.

Just when she was feeling lost, a petite figure came running towards her. A Cai was wearing a beautiful silver-red gauze skirt, with a butterfly wreath inlaid with pearls and various gemstones on her bun, catching her in a lively and lovely way. Hand: "Big sister, why did you come here..."

The female officer chuckled at the side: "Princess, you can't call me elder sister. Miss Zhong is His Majesty's younger sister. In terms of seniority, you should call her aunt."

A Cai was a little impatient: "Auntie is just auntie, let's go in quickly, my aunt has been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhong Xinran immediately realized that the aunt A Cai was referring to was Princess Duanren, the woman most trusted and respected by His Majesty in the empire, and one of the saints in the Holy Maiden Palace. She was powerful and powerful, not an ordinary person. Comparable.

As long as you hold this thick leg, even if it is Chonghua, you have to be a little bit scrupulous, let alone Zhong Weiwei.If you want to make a good impression, you have to start with the people around Duanren.

She immediately cheered up, saluted the female officer politely, and thanked: "Thank you, sir."

The female officer was a little surprised, but she also gave her a salute, respectfully: "Miss Zhong is very polite."

Zhong Xinran smiled shyly, and A Cai pulled her into the hall.

The colorful embroidery in the main hall is brilliant, the doors and windows are opened, and the crystal clear crystal curtains hang down, tinkling in the breeze. Outside the window is a beautiful and verdant bamboo forest, which makes people feel cool.

The white jade censer burns precious spices that make people calm and calm, and the blue smoke spirals up, making it rich and romantic; the silk carpet under the feet is thick and beautiful, as if stepping on the clouds; the golden candlestick shines in the corner, the precious The orchid is showing off its coquettishness delicately.

This is the place where the empress feasts on the wives... This is the place where the empress feasts on the wives... Even if it is not Zhong Weiwei this time, one day in the future, she will sit in the center of the throne and accept the worship of the wives proudly and flattery.

As for himself, he would only corrupt and die in the dark.

All this stung Zhong Xinran's eyes. She took a breath, showing a dignified, gentle, steady and modest smile. Under A Cai's guidance, she bowed down in front of Princess Duanren.

Many wives have already arrived, and they are fawning over Princess Duanren in various ways, even Ah Cai's own grandmother and mother-in-law's wife are also on the side.

Seeing Zhong Xinran, Mrs. Wang said affectionately: "Miss Zhong, thank you for saving our A Cai. I wanted to come to thank you a long time ago, but you kept pushing me away. You are really too humble."

A Cai snorted disdainfully, wanted to say something, but didn't dare, walked over sullenly and held Princess Duanren to act coquettishly: "You said you would thank Aunt Zhong deeply."

"This child is really impatient." Princess Duanren kindly cheered Zhong Xinran up: "There is no need to be polite, I have wanted to see you for a long time, but there is no chance. Feel free, don't be restrained."

Zhong Xinran got up, and seeing that there were many noble ladies who were much higher than her, she wisely wanted to find a seat downstairs, so Ah Cai hugged an embroidered pier and placed it next to Duanren, insisting that she sit.

Zhong Xinran was overjoyed, but he wanted to prevent Duanren from thinking she was unruly, so he resolutely declined.

Duan Ren didn't care about these details: "Sit down, you are His Majesty's junior sister, the only daughter of Taifu Zhong, you are well-known for being worthy and talented, and you saved Ah Cai, so you should be a distinguished guest of this Palace."

With Duanren's words, those noble ladies immediately saw Zhong Xinran differently, and followed suit to please him.

Zhong Xinran just kept a low profile and modesty, he watched Duan Ren exchanged glances with the maidservant from the corner of his eyes, his expression was satisfied, he knew in his heart that he was acting very well in Duan Ren's eyes, so he was determined, and his witty words were like pearls, making all the ladies laugh laugh.

When it was busy, the palace servants came to report: "Mrs. Lianghou is here."

The laughter stopped. Ever since Master Wei and his son were severely punished and injured by Zhong Hua in public because of Zhong Weiwei, Webster hadn't appeared in public for a long time. Everyone guessed that the Wei family would not come today, but they didn't I thought it came.

Madam Lianghou Wei, who was dressed luxuriously and stately, was supported by Wei Qi's wife, Mrs. Chen, and looked majestically at everyone, saluting Duan Ren.

Duan Ren got up, helped Mrs. Wei up personally, and said with a smile: "I dare not be a big gift from my aunt, today is a private banquet, please sit down."
