Chapter 18
"Miss, these ornaments were sent by the old lady."

Sanyue lowered her head, with a submissive look, even the words she said were weak, with a bit of fear, without the slightest arrogance from last night, "And this dress was sent by the second wife I came here, saying that you must wear this dress at night..."

"Oh…"

Xia Jin raised her eyes and glanced at the two sets of red dresses. Her eyes were slightly closed, and some doubts flashed in her eyes. Then, her eyes fell on March, her red lips slightly parted: "San Yue ..."

"Miss, this servant is..."

Sanyue directly knelt down with a plop, like a frightened bird, and could even vaguely see her body trembling slightly, as if what happened last night had left her with an indelible sense of fear...

"Does this dress have any special meaning?"

Xia Mei, the second aunt, all sent her red dresses, it must be for the purpose of tricking her.

"This…"

Sanyue didn't expect Xia Jin to ask her this question, she looked up hesitantly, but met Xia Jin's calm eyes, a sense of fear emanated from the bottom of her heart, she quickly said:
"I heard from the second lady that the queen mother avoids red."

The Empress Dowager believes in Buddhism, and she also believes in ghosts and gods the most.

But a month ago, the Queen Mother was a nightmare every day...

I had nightmares for several days in a row, and the Queen Mother did not have nightmares after the national teacher took action to treat her. But whenever she saw someone wearing red clothes, the Queen Mother would feel very uncomfortable, so... the emperor ordered that anyone who appeared in front of the Queen Mother Can't wear any red.

"Miss, the second madam knew about this, but ordered someone to bring you red clothes, just to take this opportunity to make you anger the queen mother and the emperor during the palace banquet."

Xia Jin's complexion darkened, and even those peach-blossom eyes lost the slightest bit of smile. They were extremely cold, and after a while, she moved the corner of her lower lip and chuckled, "So that's how it is."

Knowing that the emperor gave the order, he deliberately violated it.

This is disobedience.

It can range from scolding a few words, to severe loss of head.

If at a palace banquet... in front of all the civil and military officials of the court, the empress dowager, and all the concubines, she appeared in a red dress, it would be a naked performance to challenge the majesty of the emperor...

The punishment will definitely not be light, and it will be disabled even if it is not dead.

It seems that her second aunt is determined to kill her...

Tsk tsk, how cruel...

-

evening.

The sun was setting, and the sky was dyed with a fiery red sunset glow.

And there were three carriages parked outside the gate of Xia Mansion.

There are four houses in Xia Mansion, but the only ones who can go to the palace banquet are the main wives and daughters-in-law of each house. Going forward, only Xia Mei and Xia Qianxue will attend the palace banquet. Although Xia Jin is also a daughter-in-law, but because she is For the sake of trash, no one will take her to the palace except Old General Xia.

And tonight's palace banquet, she was able to go to it entirely because of her marriage contract with the second prince.

"The big room."

The old lady of the Xia family poked her head out from the carriage, and the second lady, Chen Mu'er, went up to her immediately, "Mother, why are you calling me?"

"We've been waiting here for a quarter of an hour, when can we leave?"

The palace banquet started at the third quarter of the unitary hour, but now it was already the third quarter of the last hour, and it hadn't started yet, and it would be too late if it dragged on.

"Well, mother... Xia Jin hasn't come yet."

The old lady's complexion suddenly changed, and her complexion became extremely ugly. Chen Mu'er's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly said: "Mother, please wait a moment, I will immediately ask the servant girl to remind you..."
