Chapter 116 Women Confrontation 2
Now that everyone brought the topic to Yihexuan, Li Zhaoyi looked at Si Jin and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we really haven't been to Sister Wanyi's place to bother you. Choosing a date is worse than bumping into the sun. How about today? How do you feel about the banquet being held in Yihexuan?"

There was a moment of silence in the pavilion.

Qi Ronghua quickly raised his head to look at Si Jin, and Si Jin happened to also look up at Li Zhaoyi, their eyes met in the air, and then quickly moved away.

"It's a great honor for Yihexuan to be able to set foot here, all of you sisters. It's flourishing, and the concubine welcomes it very much." No matter what Li Zhaoyi's idea is, it's not good for Si Jin to refuse in front of so many people at this time, otherwise Wouldn't it offend everyone?

It's just going to have a drink, it's not a big deal, not to mention, even if these people want to run into the emperor in Yihexuan, it's not a shameful thing.Not all of those Gongdou dramas have staged such plots, and it is really hard work to fight for favor.

Is it Li Zhaoyi's own intention, or is there a hint from the imperial concubine behind her?

Si Jin agreed very readily, which was also surprising, after all, it is normal for concubines who are friendly to each other to go around this kind of thing.But they are really not familiar with Xi Wanyi. Since she was favored, this person has never been arrogant and indulgent, and he is a model who simply stays behind closed doors except to ask for peace.It was the first time they saw such a low-key favorite concubine.

I thought that Xi Wanyi would never agree. After all, the emperor went to the Yihexuan very frequently. What if everyone bumped into each other?

But they simply agreed, seeing Xi Wanyi get up to lead the way, everyone in the pavilion looked at each other, Concubine Dong Xian broke the silence and said with a smile: "Xi Wanyi's kind invitation, we will be disrespectful."

"It's my sister's honor to be honored by Concubine Xian to sit with me." Si Jin bowed and said with a smile. After speaking, she lifted her feet and walked forward, leading the way, and said as she walked, "Let's Passing here, it happens to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden, this is a worthwhile trip to enjoy the flowers."

Dou Fangyi followed behind Qi Ronghua with some anxiety, the two walked last, she quietly tugged on Qi Ronghua's sleeve, looked at her and said in a low voice: "Sister Ronghua, do we really want to follow?" She doesn't want to go.

Qi Ronghua shook her hand with a smile, "Xi Wanyi is a very kind person, everyone, why don't we resign, let's go together." If Dou Fangyi resigns, I'm afraid I will offend Li Zhaoyi who made the suggestion. Destroy her desk?
Dou Fangyi was startled when she heard the words, so she didn't dare to say anything, and made up her mind to follow Qi Ronghua without saying a word.She can't afford to offend anyone here, so it's better to pretend to be dumb.

Today Yunshang and Jinzhi accompanied Si Jin out. Now that the masters of the harem were going to Yihexuan, Yunshang hurriedly asked Jinzhi to go back to deliver the letter.At least put away the things that should be put away in the house. The emperor's things are all over the house, so you can't be seen by others, that's even more dangerous.

Jin Zhi also knew what was going on here, and as soon as the master agreed, she left quietly.Even if someone saw it, they thought it was because the people around Si Jin went back to prepare the banquet first, and they would not be suspicious to pack up the emperor's personal belongings.

After all, Xiao Qi really didn't have the habit of leaving his things with the concubines in the harem at will.Si Jin was an accident. After all, she was young at that time, and Xiao Qi didn't have too much defense against her. She gradually developed a habit, and she couldn't change it for a while, so that Yi Hexuan didn't look like a concubine. His residence looks like the emperor's bedroom.

As soon as Jin Zhi returned to Yihexuan, she hurriedly took people inside and out to clean up. The master took people around the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, which was considered as giving her time.Fortunately, in the Ming Dynasty, apart from putting away a few decorations and putting away a few clothes, there is no other eyesore.But what about the study?
Having no other choice, he hurriedly called Chen De'an over, Jin Zhi was about to cry, pulled Chen De'an and said, "Eunuch Chen, please quickly think of a way, what should we do with so many things in this study?"

Chen De'an also had some headaches, he turned his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Find a big basket, put it in the basket first and carry it away." Although it is a bit disrespectful, it is better than giving the master red eyes.

After Chen De'an sent a message, Huarong also opened the curtain and came in. She brought someone to tidy up the other side, then she answered the conversation and said: "I'll clean it up, you guys go get the frame, put two layers of fine flannel cloth inside, and be quicker with your hands and feet." .”

There were a lot of things in the study, and Huarong was deft with his hands and feet. When the basket was lifted, he put it in one by one.One basket couldn't be filled, so another was brought in hastily, and the first one was carried away. Before the second one was finished, the master over there came with people.

Huarong gritted her teeth and told everyone to go out to meet the guests, and she hid in the room by herself to tidy up the rest of the things.But it was too late to move it away, so I dragged the basket and stuffed it into the corner next to the antique shelf, and spread another layer of brocade tablecloth on it. After thinking about it, I took a vase that had passed the rain and put it on it.

Covered by the tablecloth, others thought it was a table for vases.If you don't lift it up, you can't see the universe inside.Huarong touched the cold sweat, when she heard people from the next room coming, and the room was full of sweet laughter, but she only felt her legs were numb.

He held the door frame to catch his breath, raised his hand to straighten his appearance, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he quietly opened the curtain and walked out.There is an aisle between the study and the Ming room, which is where the slaves prepare tea and rest. As soon as she lifted the curtain, she saw Yun Shang making tea outside, and hurried over to help.

Yun Chang looked at her and winked, not even daring to ask casually.Huarong nodded, Yun Chang was relieved, and the two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled.

Qi Ronghua had been to the Yihexuan before, and now he was looking at the furnishings of the Yihexuan, and he understood in his heart that it seemed to have been tidied up.She said that Xi Wanyi looked gentle and harmless, but she was not at the mercy of others, it seemed that she had plans.She and Dou Fangyi sat there with an honest appearance, and others only thought they were reserved, let alone just brought them along, and they would not pay much attention to them. Si Jin, under the watchful eyes of everyone, naturally would not intentionally get close to Qi Ronghua, but she would not neglect the two of them, and served tea in person to show the friendship of the host.

Qi Ronghua accepted it with a smile. She has a higher status than Si Jin, so it is very appropriate to do so.Being neither flattering nor obsequious is in line with her usual personality.Dou Fangyi was a little nervous, she was the only one among these people whose status was lower than Xi Wanyi, so she hurriedly stood up and took the tea in fear, and thanked her again and again.

"Sister Fangyi, don't be restrained, sit down quickly." It's good to have a high status, and everyone can be called a sister.

Dou Fangyi sat back nervously, and Si Jin went to talk to others.When it came to her three-acre land, Si Jin could no longer pretend to be dumb.

Everyone has looked around the room and found no over-the-top decorations, all of which are suitable for Wanyi's status.Everyone was actually a little surprised. After all, with Xi Wanyi's degree of favor, even if it was something beyond the control, as long as it was rewarded by the emperor, there was nothing wrong with it.But obviously not, this can't help but make everyone's heart churn again. Could it be that the emperor doesn't like Xi Wanyi that much?
After all, if you like a concubine, it is common to receive extra rewards.This is very common in the palace, such as Li Zhaoyi, Concubine Yugui, Concubine Mei, etc. have all received it, but they didn't find any of them in Yihexuan, which makes people think too much.

Si Jin served tea to everyone with her own hands. Just as she sat down, she heard Concubine Yugui say, "Xi Wanyi's place is different from others'. It's very clean." Most people in the palace like luxury. Naturally, the layout is beautiful and beautiful, so Si Jin's little freshness here is not enough to look at.

In fact, Si Jin really didn't like the blind decorations of local tyrants, so she just smiled when she heard this, "I've always loved simple and elegant things, but my sister-in-law made me laugh."

In comparison, Concubine Yugui felt somewhat superior in her heart in vain, compared to her Xiyan Hall, which was even better, the objects in this display were not just plain, it seemed to her a bit shabby.But it's true, after all, it's just a Wanyi, what good things can I use.

Listening to Si Jin's words, Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Sister Wanyi is a person of noble character, unlike us who only love luxury things."

How should I answer this question?Yes or no, either belittle oneself or offend others, Concubine Dong Xian is really good at talking.

While Si Jin was still hesitating about how to answer, Yunshang lifted the curtain outside and came in, knelt down to salute everyone, then looked at the master and said, "Master, Eunuch Guan is here."

Guan Chang'an was stunned when he entered Yihexuan, but he could see the difference as soon as he looked up, there were more people in the yard.

Before he could understand, Chen De'an trotted over there, bowed down to meet the ceremony, then stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Brother Guan, some noble masters are here for a banquet."

Guan Chang'an understood this, your lord must be someone with a higher status than Xi Wanyi, just looking at the servants in the yard, he knew that there were quite a few people here.For a moment, I felt a little embarrassed, so I took a look at Chen De'an, "Your lords are really elegant, what a good day is today, and they all come together to ask for a banquet from Master Wanyi?"

Chen De'an didn't move his brows and eyes, and replied in a regular manner: "The master went to greet the empress, and met the concubine Xian on the way out of Fenghuan Palace. The concubine Xian invited the master to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden. I don't want to meet by chance Concubine Mei, Li Zhaoyi, Concubine Yugui, Qi Ronghua, and Dou Fangyi, the masters, agreed to come to the Yihexuan for a banquet while joking."

Guan Chang'an frowned, he had a plan in his heart, and he didn't talk to Chen De'an, he watched Yun Shang come out of the room and went to meet him.
