Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 40 The Palace Banquet Disturbance ([-])

Xie Siru gouged out Xie Wanqing's eyes and snorted coldly.

Xie Wanqing didn't care, she nodded and smiled at her, but Xie Siru ignored her, and she still walked towards her carriage with a smile on her face.

"Hmph, why are you so proud, Second Miss, don't be so fussy with her!" Xie Siru's eldest girl Xueyan said.

Xie Siru gritted her teeth and said: "Sooner or later, I will make her never laugh again, let's go!"

Xie Wanqing's carriage was heading towards the palace, but Xie Siru could only wait in the carriage for Xie Chongguang to take her to the "Gentlemen's Pavilion".

It was the Qixi Festival, but Xie Siru could only swallow his anger in his stomach, not daring to explode at all.

Xie Wanqing was not very happy either, the banquet in the palace is not so fun, this person must be vigilant at all times, there must be no mistakes, if she had to choose, she would rather switch with Xie Siru.

It's just that no matter how bad it is, Xie Wanqing will not let Xie Siru do what she wants!

When entering the palace, it was already sunset, so Xie Wanqing naturally went to Fengzao Palace to meet Concubine Cui.

Concubine Cui Gui saw that she was dressed up, although she couldn't fault it, but she was not outstanding, so she frowned slightly and asked: "Wan'er, is the Xie family so harsh now? They don't even want to buy you a good dress? "

"Auntie, what are you talking about, isn't my body not good?" Xie Wanqing asked.

Concubine Cui pursed her lips, and then said: "How can such a plain color bring out your brilliance? I will probably embarrass you when I meet the princesses who are not forgiving!"

"Auntie, with your radiant imperial concubine leading the battle, I will be more glorious. As for those princesses, even if I dress up well, can they let me go?"

Xie Wanqing asked with a smile.

Concubine Cui Gui knew that what she said was reasonable, so she could only helplessly say: "You want to open up now, more openly than I do, but I still want to see your glamorous appearance, like a blooming flower!"

"Auntie, do you mean that I'll be so ugly if I change into plain clothes?" Xie Wanqing asked pretending to be wronged, and flattened her mouth exaggeratedly.

Concubine Cui Gui couldn't help but patted her on the head amusedly, and said: "You girl, you're being naughty again, my evening looks good no matter what!"

"That's all, my aunt thinks I'm pretty, that's enough!" Xie Wanqing said obediently.

"But the prince, you should know that he just likes those bright and charming people. I'm afraid he won't like you if you dress up so well!" Concubine Cui said embarrassingly.

Xie Wanqing narrowed her eyes, she wondered whether she should tell Concubine Cui Gui her heart, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.

This marriage was made because of Concubine Cui, if she says she doesn't want to marry now, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her?

Xie Wanqing smiled slightly and said: "Auntie, I will be a concubine when I enter the Eastern Palace in the future. It is not for a concubine to please the prince! I just do my own thing well. It’s fine, it’s fine if you don’t make mistakes!”

Concubine Cui frowned, and said: "You are so young, how come you have such an idea, didn't you want to please the crown prince in the past?"

"Oh, aunt, people have changed their minds now!" Xie Wanqing didn't want to explain more, so she had to play a rogue.

Concubine Cui felt relieved when she saw that she was still such a young girl, for fear that her mind about the prince would change, and that would be bad!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Concubine Cui took Xie Wanqing to Wangxing Tower.

It is the tallest pavilion in the palace. During the Double Seventh Festival, when you go up to the Wangxing Tower, you really have the illusion of "raising your hand to pick the stars".

When we arrived at Wangxing Tower, there were already quite a few people. As the highest-ranking imperial concubine, Cui Guifei naturally received a lot of courtesy from everyone.

Xie Wanqing was by the side, with a smile on her face, she saluted when she saw a nobleman, she didn't say a word, didn't take a step, behaved well, even those princesses who used to make things difficult for her almost didn't recognize her !

That's why it started, Xie Wanqing successfully escaped the routine "mocking" ceremony of the princesses.

But when Concubine Cui Gui was busy with other things and the banquet hadn't officially started, trouble still came to her.

"Yo, it's really Xie Wanqing, I thought I was dazzled!" The fifth princess Zhaohui spoke.

Princess Zhaohui is the daughter of Empress Defei. She just turned 13 years old this year. Among the princesses, she is not the most beautiful in appearance, but has the meanest temper.

The concubine He Lan has always been at odds with Concubine Cui Gui, so Princess Zhaohui naturally can't understand her, Xie Wanqing!
Xie Wanqing stood up and saluted Princess Zhaohui: "My daughter has seen the princess, Princess Jin'an!"

Princess Zhaohui rolled her eyes slightly, and said, "Yo, now you're pretending to be a cabbage, who is this look for? The prince doesn't like cabbages, he likes peonies!"

Xie Wanqing still had a smile on her face, and replied without the slightest bit of impoliteness: "Thank you, princess, for your reminder!"

Princess Zhaohui was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Who mentioned you? Don't be too sentimental!"

"Yes, my servant understands!" Xie Wanqing still nodded lightly, with a decent smile, without any sign of anger.

It was as if Princess Zhaohui had punched the cotton, and her chest was full of breath.

"Xie Wanqing, stop pretending to be like Ben Gong. Who do you think you can deceive by showing such a generous and decent appearance? Where did your arrogant appearance go?"

In fact, Princess Zhaohui really wronged Xie Wanqing. Although Xie Wanqing was proud in the past, she was not arrogant. She was also polite when facing these princesses. The princesses are stimulated verbally, and they will reply a few words.

But Xie Wanqing reads a lot, and even sarcasm quotes classics and beats around the bush. An ignorant and playful princess like Zhao Hui often only reflects on it after the fact, so the problem is getting bigger and bigger.

Xie Wanqing continued to smile, and said: "My daughter dare not, the princess knows it!"

"Don't you dare? Hehe... There are times when you, Xie Wanqing, don't dare? Isn't it because your concubine and aunt don't even pay attention to me!" Princess Zhaohui mocked.

Xie Wanqing nodded, Princess Zhaohui almost stared out her eyes, wishing she could go up and hit someone, Xie Wanqing said unhurriedly: "Princess is a noble person, how can she be put in the eyes of my servants, then Isn’t it Princess Zhesha?”

It sounded like good words, Princess Zhaohui frowned, after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't feel that Xie Wanqing was beating around the bush and scolding her.

Could it be that Xie Wanqing has really changed her temper?
Princess Zhaohui wanted to find fault, but she couldn't find the point, so she had to leave angrily.

"What's the matter, Fifth Sister? Could it be that Xie Wanqing didn't give you face again?" It was the third princess who was talking, and the concubine mother was a beauty of low status, so she didn't have much status, and she didn't even have a title. Behind the fifth princess.
