Queen, don't be too arrogant

Chapter 25 The Emperor Arrives (1)
"...Yes, the maidservant is leaving." Aunt Li was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, and then retreated.

Xie Jingran watched her back go away, and knew in her heart that she was doing it for her own good, but she really didn't want to do things against her original intention just because she wanted to protect herself.Her impression of Murong Xuanyan is really bad, much worse than that of Zhao Linlang, so she can show weakness in front of Zhao Linlang, but in front of Murong Xuanyan, she will never bow to him .

Anyway, Murong Xuanyan probably didn't dare to touch her, he would have done it long ago, so she doesn't have to worry about anything now, it's better to spend these two days quietly, and wait until she is out of the palace, so that he won't be out of sight.

Xie Jingran lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.She fell asleep again until the sun was rising, and Haoyue Haoxue rushed to dress her up again. Xie Jingran felt that the life of the aristocrats was so corrupt that she was delighted. A corrupt life of being served by others.

Seeing that the maids were preparing breakfast again, Xie Jingran hurried forward to eat and drink enough, planning to spend two days nestling in the palace, living the life of a house girl that she was used to before, and then happily leaving the palace.

But the facts have proved that people's ideals are bright, but the reality is always dark, and the future is even more bleak.

And her life is even more black and messy...

Just as Xie Jingran was lying comfortably at the gate of Ganquan Palace basking in the sun, she only heard Haoxue rushing towards her at the speed of light, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhao is here!"

"Eunuch Zhao?" Xie Jingran frowned and thought for a while, but she really didn't think of which onion this so-called Eunuch Zhao was.She does know Chen Qingcheng. As for Mr. Zhao, I have never heard of him.

Seeing Xie Jingran's puzzled expression, Haoxue hurriedly explained: "Madam, Eunuch Zhao is the Eunuch by the Emperor's side, why did you forget?"

"Oh, so it's like this... Wait, what did you just say? He is the father-in-law next to the emperor!" Xie Jingran sat up suddenly from the chair, staring at Haoxue with wide eyes, only hoping that Haoxue could talk to her personally. Said that what she said just now was a joke with her, and all the words she heard were auditory hallucinations.

But Haoxue nodded seriously, and said: "Yes, empress, Mr. Zhao came to Ganquan Palace this time, there is an order from the emperor to pass on, empress, please go to the main hall to meet him."

No way?It's all at this point, why does Murong Xuanyan want someone to come to her again?Did he change his mind and not let her out of the palace?

Xie Jingran's heart skipped a beat, and she greeted the eighteen generations of Murong Xuanyan's ancestors, but she had no choice but to calmly follow Haoxue to the main hall.Along the way, she was in a lot of ups and downs. When she finally got to the main hall, she saw Eunuch Zhao standing aside from a distance. As soon as she saw her, she hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the empress."

"Excuse me!" Xie Jingran still wanted to put on airs in front of outsiders, especially in front of Murong Xuanyan's confidantes, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed that she, the empress, was a fake?Seeing Eunuch Zhao's expression of gratitude, Xie Jingran asked again: "I don't know if you are here today, but what's the matter?"

"Hui Madam, this servant came to see Madam according to the emperor's orders. The emperor said that the banquet will be held in Huilong Hall at Xushi tonight to entertain the Crown Prince of Chu, and I also invite Madam to attend the banquet." Eunuch Zhao After finishing this sentence with no expression, he bowed to Xie Jingran again, "If there is nothing else to do, the servant will leave!"

Xie Jingran just stared at him blankly, as if she didn't hear what he said.It wasn't until Eunuch Zhao said that he was leaving that Xie Jingran realized it and hurriedly shouted: "Wait!"

Eunuch Zhao turned his head to look at Xie Jingran, and said, "I don't know what other orders do you have?"

"Did you just say that the emperor wanted me to attend some kind of banquet?" Xie Jingran looked extremely suspicious of hearing hallucinations, "And it was for the banquet for the Crown Prince of Chu?"

"That's right, the emperor's edict is exactly like this." Eunuch Zhao nodded, and then said, "Your Majesty, this slave is going to go back to answer the order, so I will take my leave first!"

"Oh, you go slowly." Xie Jingran was stunned again, and when Eunuch Zhao disappeared, she looked at Haoxue standing beside her in disbelief, "Haoxue, what did Eunuch Zhao say just now?" Ah, why do I feel as if I'm hallucinating?"

Haoxue replied to Xie Jingran's words with infinite sincerity: "Madam, Eunuch Zhao said just now that the emperor wants you to go back to the Dragon Palace to attend a banquet at Xushi tonight to entertain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu."

"No way?" Xie Jingran couldn't help screaming, what kind of hatred did Murong Xuanyan have with her, why did he keep provoking her again and again?She obviously swallowed her anger and just wanted to spend these two days in peace, but he just didn't want her to live in peace, and he didn't know what he was planning.Even if it is very important to entertain that prince of Chu this time, there is no need for her to accompany him to participate. Isn't Zhao Linlang very good, maybe he is much more motivated than her.

Xie Jingran screamed again and looked at Haoxue: "Haoxue, why do you think the emperor wants me to attend this banquet? Can I just pretend to be sick?"

"Of course not!" Haoxue said hastily, "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral precepts of our state of Qin, such banquets for entertaining envoys from other countries must be attended by the Queen accompanying the Emperor, so your Majesty must go."

It turned out to be like this, Xie Jingran also said that Murong Xuanyan hated seeing her so much, how could he let her go to the banquet.But thinking of seeing him soon, Xie Jingran couldn't help feeling aggrieved, and couldn't help muttering: "Why do you have to be accompanied by the queen? This girl doesn't want to go at all. If I have to go, I'd rather Don't be the queen anymore!"

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!" Before Xie Jingran could finish her sentence, she immediately saw a few black shadows appearing from her surroundings, and immediately covered her mouth.Xie Jingran looked at them infinitely depressed, didn't she just say something casually, did she have to look at her with such nervous eyes?She had no choice but to wave her hand speechlessly, removed the hand covering her mouth, and said, "Okay, come in and help me tidy up, after all, I have to dress up for this banquet. "

"Yes, empress!" Hearing Xie Jingran's words, Haoxue and Haoyue hurriedly followed her to the inner room.After arriving at the bedroom, Haoxue hastily took out all Xie Jingran's jewelry.

Seeing her so attentive appearance, Xie Jingran breathed out: "Haoxue, this is not a big party, you don't need to dress me up too grandly, right? With so many jewelry out, how should I wear them? "
