Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 93 I Heard You Were Injured
Ziyan taught Xie Wanqing how to embroider mandarin ducks. She had taught them for several days just for mandarin ducks, and Xie Wanqing realized that she really had no talent for this.

Embroidery needs to be done by people with peace of mind. People like her who have too many things on their minds can't do things that require meticulous attention and a lot of time!

Xie Wanqing threw the half-embroidered embroidery frame aside, picked up the book, and read it quietly.

A gust of wind blew outside the window, Xie Wanqing felt a bit chilly, so she walked to the window by herself, and was about to close the window, but saw a person flying in from the window suddenly.

Xie Wanqing was startled, she was about to call someone, but someone covered her ears, and a familiar voice rang out from her ears.

"It's me!" Xuanyuan Jue said.

While Xie Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, she raised her heart again, pushed Xuanyuan Jue away, and said, "My lord, you...why did you come to me again?"

Xuanyuan Jue did not speak, but glanced at her legs, and said, "I heard you were injured?"

"Eh?" Xie Wanqing looked at him in surprise.

"Here..." Xuanyuan Jue took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom. It was so crystal clear that it was not ordinary at first glance, and there was still an ice-blue liquid flowing inside.

Xie Wanqing took it hesitantly and asked, "What is this?"

"Wipe it on the wound without leaving a scar!" Xuanyuan Jue's face looked unnatural, and seemed to be a little awkward.

Xie Wanqing frowned, glanced at her knees, and said, "My injury is nothing serious!"

Such a thin wound can't leave a scar at all. This person even came to deliver medicine on purpose. Xie Wanqing's heart felt warm, but she immediately reminded herself that Xuanyuan Jue is not an ordinary person, she can't fall in love with this person .

Xuanyuan Jue said: "Then keep it!"

Xie Wanqing said: "This thing is too expensive, I...I can't accept it!"

Xuanyuan Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth were drawn into a line, obviously unhappy.

Xie Wanqing didn't know what happened, so she hurriedly said: "Then...then I will stop being disrespectful, thank you, my lord!"

Only then did Xuanyuan Jue calm down, nodded, and said, "Don't use self-harm to achieve your goal in the future!"

"Ah?" Xie Wanqing was a little dazed, as if she didn't understand what he said.

Xuanyuan Jue pointed at her knee, and said, "Stupid!"

Xie Wanqing blushed now, but...how did Xuanyuan Jue know that she did it on purpose?

Xuanyuan Jue probably saw Xie Wanqing's embarrassment, so he didn't mention it again, and took out a gold-plated invitation from his bosom.

"This is?" Xie Wanqing took it over and asked suspiciously.

Xuanyuan Jue said: "Look for yourself!"

Xie Wanqing opened the invitation and found that it was an invitation to Shanglin Banquet!

"This... is for me?" Xie Wanqing asked, somewhat in disbelief.

The Shanglin Banquet is not something that anyone can go to. It is a banquet held by the emperor entrusted Xuanyuan Jue every year to entertain famous officials.

It is necessary to obtain a golden invitation card from Xuanyuan Jue and stamp it with King Jing's seal before going to the banquet.

Because of this banquet, the emperor will also attend, nominally to support King Jing, but in fact, to communicate with famous officials, to show the mighty grace of the emperor.

But in the eyes of others, this is undoubtedly a great favor to King Jing, because generally speaking, the Shanglin Banquet should be held by the crown prince.

However, the emperor wanted to give this honor to King Jing, and from the very beginning, the fuse between King Jing and the crown prince was planted.

Maybe...the emperor did it on purpose!
However, for most people, Shanglin's invitation is no different from a status symbol, and even the princesses and princes of the royal family may not have the opportunity to attend.

Everyone knows that King Jing has always been ruthless. If he doesn't catch his eye, he will have no chance to go to the Lin Banquet without any knowledge and talent!

Xuanyuan Jue nodded, indicating that it was indeed an invitation to Xie Wanqing.

Xie Wanqing felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "My lord...is this a little inappropriate? I...I am not qualified to attend the Shanglin Banquet!"

"Do you have doubts about my king's words?" Xuanyuan Jue put on a straight face again, obviously upset again.

Xie Wanqing pouted, and said: "I just have self-knowledge. Compared with those great sages, Wan Qing is really hard to be considered elegant!"

Xuanyuan Jue narrowed his eyes and said, "This king wants you to go, will you go or not?"

Xie Wanqing looked at Xuanyuan Jue, but she couldn't say anything if she refused, but if she agreed to go, she didn't know what would happen in the end!

Right now, her only focus is to break off the engagement with the prince, and to completely destroy Liu Yuejiao, how could she think of going to these occasions to show off!
Seeing Xie Wanqing's hesitant look, Xuanyuan Jue finally sighed helplessly, and said: "The post is for you, whether you go or not, it's up to you!"

Xie Wanqing then said: "Okay, I... I'll think about it again!"

Xie Wanqing also knew that she was a bit ignorant, the opportunity to appear on the Lin Banquet, but many people couldn't get it. There were 21 invitations in total, and the number of people who could go was really limited.

Many people were able to stand out in front of the emperor, and they might be photographed if they were not sure, and they have been on the rise ever since.

Just like Xie Chongguang back then, because he was appreciated by the emperor at the Shanglin banquet, he rose from a small Hanlin all the way to the top, and finally became the envy of many people.

Women who can participate in the Shanglin Banquet must be famous and talented women, and they are a little bit worse than princesses and princesses. Their status, knowledge and talent are all indispensable.

Although Xie Wanqing said she was tall and had a strong background, but she didn't have any titles, and she hadn't married into the East Palace yet. Such an occasion was indeed out of luck for her!

Being able to get such an opportunity will also be a qualification in the future. A woman who has participated in the Shanglin Banquet and won the approval of the emperor, after she gets married, her husband's family will not dare to look down on her!
Xuanyuan Jue said: "You keep it, if you really don't want to go, I can give it to your brother!"

Xie Wanqing looked at his unhappy look, wanted to say something to comfort him, but felt that saying anything was superfluous.

She is still the future crown princess and has a marriage contract. Even if she really succeeds in retiring the engagement, is it possible that she resigned from the prince's marriage and married King Jing instead?Wouldn't that be a big joke?
For the sake of his own future and important affairs, Xuanyuan Jue absolutely cannot marry her, so... what's the point?

On the contrary, Xie Wanqing was charged with giving and receiving in private, and Xie Wanqing only felt that her heart was full of misery, and she had no intention of saying anything to him!
Xuanyuan Jue looked at Xie Wanqing who was frowning, and said, "If you really want to retire, you have to make yourself good enough, so good that others think that even if you divorce the prince, you have enough capital to marry Ruyilang, otherwise No matter what your reasons are for retiring the engagement, you will bear the stigma of abandoning concubine!"

Xie Wanqing was stunned for a moment before she understood Xuanyuan Jue's meaning. It turned out...he was giving himself a chance to get a bargaining chip to withdraw from the marriage!

This person, on the surface, looks cold and impersonal, but he has already planned so deeply for her!

It's really false to say that I'm not moved, he is obviously someone who has nothing to do with me, but he can think of her like this, how can he make her not move?
But if she was moved, Xie Wanqing would keep reminding herself that she had to see her identity and her situation clearly, Xuanyuan Jue... was really someone she couldn't afford!

Xie Wanqing swallowed the tightness in her throat, and said: "Thank you, Your Highness King Jing, I...know what to do, Wan Qing accepted this post, and Wan Qing will always remember the prince's kindness in her heart!"

"Everything I do is not only for you, but also for myself!" Xuanyuan Jue was honest.

Xie Wanqing thought about it, and understood what Xuanyuan Jue meant. If she really married her as a concubine, it would indeed have great meaning to Xuanyuan Jue.

Behind him is the Duke's Mansion holding the military power, in the palace there is Concubine Cui, who is in full swing, and there is also a prime minister in his prime!

For any ambitious prince, she is a rare candidate for the princess. Even if the prince doesn't like her, wouldn't he still accept this marriage without hesitation?
Xie Wanqing felt a slight chill in her heart, the warmth that was choked up in her heart just cooled down.

Perhaps many people envied her for having such a background and background, but... for her, it was luck and misfortune.

Xuanyuan Jue looked at Xie Wanqing, opened his mouth, struggled a little in his eyes, but swallowed all the words in the end.

"You make up your own mind, I'll go first!" Xuanyuan Jue heard the movement at the door, and knew that someone was looking for Xie Wanqing.

Before Xie Wanqing could react, Xuanyuan Jue disappeared through the window, and the breeze came slowly, blowing away the faint scent of sandalwood in the room.

Su Wen knocked on the door and asked, "Miss..."

Xie Wanqing came back to her senses, put the things in her hands away, and said, "Come in!"

Su Wen pushed the door open and entered, holding a bowl of medicinal soup, said: "Miss, please drink this bowl of soup, I added some medicinal herbs for heating, you will drink it for a few days, you won't be afraid of the typhoon hurting your body!"

Xie Wanqing nodded, she was always afraid of the cold, so Su Wen continued to take care of her body, and she has gotten much better in the past two years.

After drinking the soup, Xie Wanqing sighed, and then asked: "How is Xi Lan?"

"It's not a serious problem anymore, it's just a flesh wound, and it healed up quickly after taking the medicine!" Su asked.

Xie Wanqing nodded and said: "Pay attention to her, don't stare too closely, I still need her!"

"Yes, Miss..." Su Wen agreed.

"By the way, these days, what's going on with Second Miss?" Xie Wanqing asked.

Su Wen thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "She has been grounded, but I don't think there is anything unusual, and I haven't noticed it these days, so I'll go check it out tomorrow!"

"Well, just be careful, she can't make any waves for the time being!" Xie Wanqing said, Xie Siru's current level is not enough to make her worry.

"By the way, this maidservant remembered that the Second Young Lady has been a little weird recently!" Su Wen said suddenly.

Xie Wanqing tilted her head and looked at Su Wen, motioning for her to continue.
