Chapter 220 Six

Others smiled in order to smooth things over: "That's good. I wanted to see the princess a while ago. I heard that the princess was unwell, so we wanted to see the Qionghua Banquet this time. It would be the best if we could see you. See you." If not, I just heard the news. Now that I think about it...it's thanks to the two princes and concubines."

"Who says it's not? After all, it's a family. When the prince and concubine come, the princess will always meet the younger generation."

"They're not juniors, they're all royals."

You speak to me, everyone talks and laughs.

The second princess can't say anything.

"Then when will the Qionghua Banquet start? I was looking forward to it before, but it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to participate. Now it's the first time."

There was something in the words of the third concubine, Qing Huan couldn't help shaking her head.

But knowing that what she meant was only for those Mrs. Hou who were present, she was relieved.I had nothing to say,

"It's about to start." Grandma Wang said with a smile: "If the two princes and concubines don't mind, we will go there together."

The third concubine went to see the second concubine.

No matter how the two princes actually fight outside, according to the rules, the third prince and concubine should take the second prince and concubine as the leader.

The second princess nodded and said yes with a smile.

Grandma Wang called the maid over and gave instructions in a low voice.

Qing Huan followed the crowd.

After a while, he returned to the original place.

With sharp eyes, Qing Huan saw that someone was already sitting on the upper seat, that is, on the upper second floor, and the other girls on the field also sat down in twos.

"The one on the top..." It seemed that the second prince and concubine saw it at a glance.

Grandma Wang just laughed: "It should be grandma over there."

That is Princess Danyang.

The second concubine and the third concubine looked at each other.

They came here to see Princess Danyang's condition.Although the emperor has always been on guard against Princess Danyang's faction, if the princes want to do anything, they have to go through Princess Danyang.

If this old immortal is in good health, it will not be so good.

"Then it's time for us to meet."

Grandma Wang looked a little hesitant. There were many people around her, and not everyone could go up to the second floor, so we still had to make some arrangements.

Here, she couldn't just abandon the people present just because of the two princes and concubines.

Although the prince and concubine belonged to the royal family, the wives of these lords' families accounted for more than half of the power in the city.

"Why don't I invite this one..." I don't know if Qing Huan's identity was really remembered, but the third concubine just pointed at her and didn't speak.

Qing Huan smiled and stepped forward: "Cousin-in-law, let me take the two princes and concubines there, I happen to meet the princess too."

At that time...Rong Chen said that she appeared here.

Among Princess Danyang's junior female relatives, there are only Grandma Wang and her, and it is obvious that she is the only one who will be targeted.Gu Er didn't care about this trick.

If you can't remember it, you can't remember it.

Anyway, she just looked around and didn't remember a few people.

Just like myself in front of the other party, my memory is not so good anymore.

The two princes and concubines looked at each other, looked at Qing Huan with their heads raised and said nothing.

Grandma Wang hesitated, and seemed a little worried.

From the corner of her eyes, Qing Huan saw that the faces of those two were getting a little bad. If she was delaying, she would take the opportunity to get angry, and said with a smile: "Cousin, you are not allowed to argue with me. Grandma should love me too." That's right, you live in this mansion, and you can see it day and night. I'm not."

While speaking, he winked at her while no one was paying attention.

Grandma Wang nodded.

Qing Huan made a gesture of invitation to the princess.

Then he said as he walked, "Grandma hasn't seen me for quite a while, so I'll take advantage of it today."

"yes……"

The second concubine said lightly: "Didn't I hear that you came here every now and then for the Qionghua Banquet a few days ago, why didn't you see it? Could it be that my aunt's body is really that bad? That's not okay." ... After I go back, I must tell my father and invite the imperial physician to take a look."

"How can I?" Qing Huan covered her mouth and smiled: "What is my identity? To put it bluntly, I am also a relative of my mother's family. It is already a great fortune to be able to enter and exit the princess's mansion. How dare I disturb the princess, but my child , because he is like his father, he is very popular with the princess, and he has more chances to see him than me."

Qing Huan walked up the stairs, talking outside from time to time.

Soon he reached the second floor of the small tall building.

The voices from upstairs gradually came, Qing Huan could hear the voice of Princess Zhao, but she didn't know that the two princes and concubines could recognize the voice of sister-in-law.

Just as she was thinking, Qing Huan glanced at it from the corner of her eye. ,

Seeing that their expressions changed, their attitudes no longer resembled their own appearance, their hearts were really... Royal people, I heard that Princess Zhao has not attended banquets for many years, and she did not even show up at palace banquets.

But these two people can only remember one voice in their hearts.

Still vaguely inaudible.

"This is……"

Qing Huan looked over in confusion: "What's wrong?"

The second concubine shook her head, then smiled: "I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance?"

"Acquaintance?" Qing Huan was confused.

The third concubine frowned when she saw this.

The maid at the stairs has already reported to Princess Danyang. ,

Things have come to this, they can't go in.

What's more, it's impossible not to see anyone. After all, their purpose is to see the one-eyed princess no matter what, so as to observe her body up close.

Qing Huan went upstairs first.

"It's Qing Huan...why...the concubine didn't come?"

Qing Huan was about to speak.

The second concubine's voice sounded from behind: "Hearing the angry voice of my aunt and grandma, my nephew and granddaughter-in-law are very happy. Why don't we come, besides... my sister-in-law is here too, we brothers and sisters shouldn't But come."

"Yes, yes. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to come over. I have come to the door several times in these years, but my sister-in-law refused to see her. We all thought you hated us."

The two princes and concubines sang together, and then talked about Princess Danyang's body.

Alluding to her faking illness.

He also talked about Princess Zhao.

Princess Danyang laughed: "...I am happy to see a girl like a flower. This person...if he is in a bad mood, let alone talk, he will lose his appetite even for eating. Are you right..."

This question is for Princess Zhao.

Princess Zhao smiled and said yes.

"It's better to be in a good mood. After all these years of self-cultivation, I'm still not as good as my aunt and grandmother. But... Fortunately, it's not in vain. At least our prince praised me for being a bit of a wild crane. It's a pity that I have lived in seclusion these years. No one is seen. If there is no effect at all, who am I going to cry to?"

Princess Danyang smiled and waved to Qing Huan.

Qing Huan stepped forward.

"Hurry up and meet Princess Zhao, you are young, so I'm afraid you don't know her."

Qing Huan turned her back, Gu Er's expression was a little unnatural.

You have clearly seen it before, but you have to pretend not to know it.

Fortunately...they had their backs to the two princes and concubines, otherwise they would have really seen their flaws.

"You are that cousin, aren't you?"

Qing Huan hurriedly saluted.

Princess Zhao waved her hand kindly: "It's okay. Speaking of which, our lord is still thanks to your family's life-saving grace. If I put on airs in front of you, I will be annoyed when I go back. You can also sit down." "

Qing Huan dare not answer.

"It's better to invite the two princes and concubines to sit down."

"What's the matter, let them sit with me, and our sisters-in-law haven't spoken for a long time."

And Princess Danyang also said the same thing.

Only then did Qing Huan walk up to Princess Danyang and sit down.

The two princes and concubines sat next to Princess Zhao in turn.

Qing Huan saw a piece of pastry in Princess Danyang's bowl, and frowned in disapproval.After thinking for a while, I lowered my voice, but let everyone present hear me say: "Auntie, I specially prepared this soup. You always use some. Someday you can't eat this pastry. My heart , but different."

Princess Danyang herself felt uncomfortable after eating the pastry, so she didn't move her chopsticks much.

Hearing this, he nodded, took the small bowl and drank it, feeling much better in his heart.

"I remember Brother Nian likes this pastry."

Qing Huan covered her mouth and smiled: "He's a glutton, he likes anything delicious. But...he likes the cakes from his aunt's grandmother's place the most. It's a pity...our chef's skills are not good enough. I was thinking of snatching the cook and going back."

"You..." Princess Danyang smiled slightly, and said dotingly: "You... okay, don't you just miss my plate of pastries, put them all up, and bring them back to Brother Nian later. "

Princess Zhao also said after hearing this: "Brother Nian is her child?"

Qing Huan hurriedly smiled and said yes.

Princess Zhao also called in a maid, and brought the plate of pastries on her table over.

Qing Huan was embarrassed.

Especially the second concubine and the third concubine did the same when they met.

The second prince and concubine also said: "Just now...you said...we thought we were not close, but it looks really good."

Princess Danyang was surprised and went to see Qinghuan.

Qing Huan quickly explained: "It's like this... My aunt and grandma are kind to my cousin, I was jealous, and I accidentally showed it in front of the two princes and concubines just now." After a pause, she continued: "But you can't blame me, either. Who is to say that this is indeed the case. But there is no way, this is true of close and distant relationships."

Qing Huan shook her head and sighed.

Princess Danyang smiled helplessly.

Princess Zhao suddenly said, "Has it started?"

Qing Huan stood up and took a look; it was indeed so.

Princess Zhao said, "I haven't seen it either, but I've heard about it for years. Second and third siblings, let's take a look together."

The third imperial concubine nodded yes.

The girls in the front are average in talent.

Family background is also normal.

On the contrary, Princess Zhao, who hadn't heard the sound of silk and bamboo for a long time, watched it with relish.

The second concubine was close, held up the jug and stretched out her hand, and leaned over to pour her a glass of wine.

Princess Zhao wanted to refuse.

The second concubine said: "It's rare to get together, but it's just sweet wine, wouldn't my sister-in-law give us face?"

"Drink some, this is sweet-scented osmanthus brew. It doesn't make you dizzy at all, but you can't drink too much." Seeing this, Princess Danyang said with a smile.

Princess Zhao lowered her head and smelled it, and it really smelled like sweet-scented osmanthus, so she no longer declined.

Qing Huan poured a small cup for Princess Danyang.

Almost just a sip.

The same is true here.

After the group drank a glass of wine, Concubine Zhao looked at the person who was praising with great interest, and occasionally discussed a few words with the second and third concubines.

It made Princess Danyang and Qing Huan relax.

"Is sister-in-law interested?"

Concubine Zhao was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect the second concubine to ask this, she said after a while: "Could it be that the two younger siblings came here for..." She frowned disapprovingly.

"I don't have any, I just came to see the excitement, and I'm going to go back after sitting for a while. Everyone must know...Our prince's temperament is a little different from before. He doesn't like to meet strangers, just those people in the mansion before. Most were left in another house."

Most of the time, Concubine Zhao and King Zhao lived together.

Firstly, the only one who shares weal and woe is Princess Zhao.

Secondly...Only Concubine Zhao can be trusted by King Zhao, and the husband and wife keep the secret together.

"Huh... that person."

Qing Huan looked over.

It turned out that it was the person from the Anqinghou Mansion that she had reviewed with Song Molan before.

"This is..." To Qing Huan's surprise, Princess Zhao also asked.

Qing Huan said with a smile: "If I ask other people, I may not be able to answer it. But this person knows it. It is said that she is the prostitute of the Anqinghou Mansion."

Qing Huan didn't go to see Princess Danyang.

Gu didn't know that after she finished speaking, Princess Danyang sighed helplessly.

"The Marquis of Anqing..."

Several people's eyes flashed slightly.

Qing Huan is not surprised, they will know about these situations.

So... Except for Rong Chen's wife, she probably wouldn't be able to do anything else.Fortunately, she was not married to someone else.

"Sister-in-law, do you think she looks like a person?"

The third concubine also nodded in agreement: "I didn't know it at first glance, but after looking at it, I realized that it looks familiar."

Concubine Zhao said lightly: "There are always people who look alike in this world, and if you are far away and can't see clearly, you will feel more alike. In fact, maybe they really don't look alike."

"Then let someone invite her over."

Princess Zhao's eyebrows twitched, feeling a little guilty.

She was supposed to help Qing Huan, but she didn't expect to be turned against by her younger siblings instead.

That's all...

Low key these years.

I'm not used to the days of intrigue outside.

Seeing that no one spoke, the second imperial concubine asked Qing Huan: "Can't we invite her up?"

It didn't.

But... if invited up, there is usually a reward.

It represents Princess Danyang's love for her.

It will be very helpful for future marriages.

Back then, Qing Huan got a jade ruyi herself.

……

Lin Yin is the concubine's daughter of the Marquis of Anqing.

The sisters of the compatriots are also of the right age, for this Qionghua Banquet.Lin Yin had a longing in her heart, but she never thought of letting herself go.After all, there are several older sisters who are more suitable and excellent than her.

But... her father and grandmother had appointed her to attend.

For this reason, her sisters ridiculed her.

So what if they are real sisters, if it comes to their own interests, even real sisters can abandon the frame.As we all know, no matter what, people who went to the Qionghua Banquet have smoother marriages than those who didn't. This is an indisputable fact.

After Lin Yin got this quota, she worked cautiously in the mansion.

In terms of food and clothing, you can use it if you can.

Even so, it was said a few times.

Fortunately, in the end, all dangers turned into blessings.

Standing here today.

It's just...Looking at the others, Lin Yin felt a little unwilling.Just now...everyone introduced themselves, but when they learned that she was from the Marquis of Anqing, they didn't say it directly.

But Ruoyou Ruowu's disdainful gaze hurt Lin Yin's eyes.

Gu Er told herself that she must be better, and then slapped them hard.

But...Looking at the talent of the people in front.

Lin Yin was disappointed.

Everyone is a daughter-in-law, and they are all raised in the same way.

Good or bad... only depends on personal talent, and the resources given by the family.

The Marquis of Anqing has been in decline for many years.

There are quite a lot of girls in the mansion, and even if Lin Yin was a prostitute, she was not favored very much, because she is not as beautiful as her sister, and she can't act like a baby.

As a result... her resources are few and far between.

In such a strong contrast, Lin Yin's performance was not even as good as usual, let alone extraordinary.

It's no more than a joke.

Isn't it.

Even though she was still on the stage, she could still hear the sparse laughter coming from below.

Lin Yin lowered his head.

I was very unwilling.

Even if the marriage is smoother than other sisters, it is not what she wants after all...

While thinking about God, a maid approached.

Lin Yin was taken aback.

"Let me go up."

Lin Yin's eyes lit up, and his heart was filled with excitement.

She has always known the legend of the small tall building.

Although the expression of bewilderment is not good, I was able to go up.But thinking of... the news about the coming of the princes and concubines.Lin Yin felt that she seemed to know something.

The maid led Lin Yin to the small tall building.

Many people saw it, and they started talking and pointing.

Grandma Wang came over and asked, "What's going on?"

The maid replied respectfully: "I want this girl to go up and talk."

"Not yet..."

The maid was silent.

She didn't know, so she didn't know how to answer.

Grandma Wang looked at Lin Yin carefully, and suddenly her face changed drastically.

"you……"

Lin Yin was confused by her reaction.

Grandma Wang gasped and waved her hands: "In that case, you go up." Even so, her expression was still worried.

The doubts in Lin Yin's heart are getting bigger and bigger.

After walking to the small tall building, after bowing his knees and saluting, when he looked up to take a peek, he was suddenly stunned.

Qing Huan was also taken aback.

She didn't understand why this person was staring at her, but felt that her gaze made her very unhappy, so she couldn't help frowning.

"Look, I say it looks like it."

"It's not because of the distance, it's because she really looks like a seven-pointer. If you don't see her, you'll look stupid." The corner of the second prince's concubine smiled.

"Where is seven points, I think it is four points at most, and then this dress adds one point. This kind of situation is also normal. Didn't they look like nine points before, but it's really not a matter of relatives."

Princess Zhao said disapprovingly. ,

Qing Huan was also shocked.

If at this time, she is still stupidly ignorant of what happened, then she is really a no-brainer.Looking carefully now, I found that the person in front of me really looked a bit like me.

No wonder she felt familiar when she saw it.

But the problem is...

Because I was like myself, I didn't react for a while.But what about Song Molan?Could it be that she really couldn't see it, or didn't react?
Qing Huan couldn't convince herself no matter what.

unless……

Song Molan knew everything. She said that on purpose to attract her attention, but what was she planning.

He Jitong is still...

As if thinking of something, Qing Huan turned pale.
