Chapter 724 The Palace Banquet Farce (1)
Empress Su smiled and said, "You take care of your own dowry, and I will not interfere with it."

Crown Princess Duan's face was filled with joy, and she said to Xiao Mingyu, "Princess Ning, the queen mother does not object, I believe you will not reject me, either?"

Did Xiao Mingyu smile wryly? This is simply a difficult task.Xiao Mingyu said respectfully, "I'm afraid I will disappoint the Crown Princess. Just at the beginning of this year, the concubine sold all the properties in her hands. Now there are only a few shops left. These shops are all ordinary and inconspicuous businesses. , so it is really impossible to satisfy the Crown Princess' request."

Crown Princess Duan's complexion instantly became gloomy, "Princess Ning, does this dislike the money in my hand?"

"The concubine misunderstood, the concubine never meant that. Everything the concubine said was true. If the concubine didn't believe it, she could send someone to investigate. It is true that the concubine does not have any profitable property. If it is true If there is, the concubine will take the initiative to contact the concubine without the concubine's reminder, and ask the concubine to contribute money to join the gang, so that everyone can make money together." Xiao Mingyu felt impatient.There must be something wrong with Crown Princess Duan.

"You...presumptuous..." Crown Princess Duan was extremely dissatisfied.

Empress Su patted her hand, "Okay, Princess Ning made it very clear, why do you have to force others to be difficult. Today is a family banquet, I don't want to see you making noise, understand?"

"My daughter-in-law understands."

Xiao Mingyu came out of Fengning Palace and let out a sigh of relief.It took too much effort to deal with Empress Su and Princess Duan.Xiao Mingyu returned to Yaohua Palace and talked with Concubine Wei.When the palace banquet was about to start, Xiao Mingqi left ahead of time and went to the palace where the banquet was held.

Walking on the road, a little maid rushed over in a hurry, as if she couldn't stop the car.Xiao Mingyu hastened to dodge and missed.Frowning secretly, it's really strange how there is such a reckless girl in the palace.It's just that the maid kept her head down, making Xiao Mingyu unable to see her face clearly.

The maid bowed and apologized again and again, before Xiao Mingyu could speak, she ran away in a hurry.

Xiao Mingyu frowned, feeling strange.After walking a few steps, he stopped suddenly and touched his waist. It seemed that his purse was missing.This time Xiao Mingyu knew he had been tricked.

"Come on, hurry up and catch up with that reckless court lady just now, my princess' purse was stolen by that court lady."

When the servants heard it, it was not bad.The maids of Yaohua Palace were the first to catch up.

Xiao Mingyu just stood there and waited, she wanted to see who had the guts to steal things in the palace, and even stole from her.

A group of people approached, led by a familiar face.Xiao Mingyu stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen my sister-in-law."

The second concubine raised her eyebrows and smiled, "It turned out to be Concubine Ning, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's a coincidence today, I didn't expect that we would meet here. The palace banquet is about to start, why doesn't Concubine Ning leave, what are you doing standing here?"

Xiao Mingyu said with a wry smile, "A maid from a strange face was very reckless. Not only did she bump into my princess, but she also took away the purse that was hanging around my waist. This princess was chased by someone, so I waited here , maybe the little thief can be caught in a while."

The second concubine looked at Xiao Mingyu with a half-smile, "This is strange. The rules in the palace are strict, who dares to steal from his younger siblings without looking too good. Aren't you afraid of death?"

"That's a good point. I'm also very curious. That's why I asked people to chase after him. When I caught him, I wanted to ask her face to face who gave her the courage to take her life." Xiao Mingyu frankly He looked at the second princess swayingly.

The second concubine raised her eyebrows, "Since that's the case, the younger siblings can continue to wait. If my concubine won't wait with you, I will leave first."

"Congratulations to my sister-in-law."

"Siblings, please be polite. We are all one family, so we don't have to be so unfamiliar. By the way, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, my concubine held a banquet at the palace to entertain guests, and even invited a small show. The younger siblings must come then." The second concubine warmly invited Xiao Mingyu attended her banquet.

Xiao Mingyu readily agreed, "Sister-in-law is invited, I will definitely go. I just hope sister-in-law don't dislike me for not being ignorant of the rules."

The second concubine laughed, "Siblings are really good at joking. The people brought up by the old mothers of the Han family can't be worse. But younger siblings, don't think that sister-in-law and I are vulgar. After all, my mother's family are all rough people."

"Sister-in-law really likes to make jokes." Xiao Mingyu's eyes moved with sincerity.The second concubine was born in a family of generals, she said that his family were all rough, she was right.However, this Second Princess is not a rough person, on the contrary, she has a very delicate mind.There were many times when the Crown Princess Duan was embarrassed, and the Crown Princess Duan was apprehensive, so she could only swallow this breath.

The second concubine smiled, "My brother and sister agreed to me, and you can't go back on it. That's fine, you can continue to wait. But I advise my brother and sister not to wait. The little thief you mentioned will most likely not be found." After a pause, she said with a little deep meaning, "It's rare to find a small thief in this palace, and she must be an outstanding one. If she is easily caught by her younger siblings, then she will not have the courage to do such a bold thing. Instead of being here Wait, why not come with me."

Xiao Mingyu shook his head, "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, I'd better wait here."

The second concubine looked at Xiao Mingyu meaningfully, "Okay then, just wait slowly, hoping to get a result. This concubine will leave first."

"Congratulations to my sister-in-law."

As the second princess said, since the little thief dared to attack, he must have nothing to fear.The maids chased him for a while, completely lost him, and had to come back empty-handed.Xiao Mingyu had expected this result a long time ago, and was not disappointed.He just ordered, "Be careful in the future. In addition, send someone to talk to the concubine mother. Since someone is bold, maybe something else will happen today. Everyone, be careful around, and don't allow people to take advantage of loopholes."

"Follow the Queen's orders."

Xiao Mingyu arrived at the palace where the banquet was held, and sat down beside the second concubine.

The second concubine looked at Xiao Mingyu with a half-smile, "How about it, did you catch the thief?"

Xiao Mingyu shook his head, "Sister-in-law is so predictable, she has never caught a thief."

The second princess smiled and said, "You didn't listen to what I said. But it doesn't matter, it's just a purse, just drop it if you drop it. I believe that no court lady would dare to risk her life to challenge your authority."

Xiao Mingyu smiled, but said nothing.

Zheng Shanggong next to Concubine Wei found Xiao Mingyu, "I heard that the purse of the princess was stolen by a thief, and the empress already knew about it. The empress asked the slaves to tell the concubine, so be more careful today."

Xiao Mingyu's heart sank.It seems that today's palace banquet will not be peaceful.I just don't know what will happen to those people.

With the arrival of Empress Su and all the concubines, the palace banquet is about to begin.The palace is full of royal family members and women, while the men are having banquets in another palace.With Empress Su's voice, the palace banquet started, and the palace maids filed in with wine and dishes, and the singers and dancers came on stage to add to the fun. The atmosphere of the palace banquet was very good.
