Chapter 0129: Who is spreading rumors?

"The two concubines will come to Beijing tomorrow. You go and meet them. In three days, the Huanian embassy delegation will arrive in Beijing to discuss the marriage between the two countries. You will host the youth blind date banquet! After everything is done, you can issue an announcement to restore Baidi Township's innocence."

Tang Xikeng thanked the queen for her kindness, and left the palace with a smile and returned to the hospital. Everyone was happy for Baidi Village, but Elder Song was frowning.

Elder Song touched his beard and said, "The youth banquet is not easy to host. She is trying to make things difficult for you!"

"Why?"

"I ask you to receive the Crown Princess tomorrow, and then receive the envoys two days later. How can you have time to prepare a youth banquet?"

Seeing Shou Qing smiled, "Don't worry, Divine Doctor Song, all our Qingdilin staff will help!"

Bai Dixiang was lying on the table drinking medicine. "Lei Lin'er is out shopping and will be back tomorrow. She is best at hosting banquets. Let her assist you then."

Jian Shouqing tugged on Bai Dixiang's sleeve, "Your makeup skills are top-notch. If you don't go, how will those girls shine? Why don't you just cover up?"

Tao Qian grabbed Tang Xi's sleeve and led her into the courtyard.

"Master, it's not that I want to run out, it's the three of them who told me to go at night and not during the day. They said that my inner alchemy lotus would steal the magical power of the forbidden land's spiritual veins."

"Can dragon eggs talk?"

"I was sleepy while meditating, and accidentally entered the dream space created by the dragon egg."

Tang Xi looked at Tao Qian: "I see! How old are you now?"

"Preparing to break through the seven-star mark."

"Awesome! In just one month, we have made such rapid progress. In a few days' youth banquet, Cha Juhui will also come, and we will have a good gathering then."

"Master, I also want to ask a question."

"explain!"

"You have sold so many treasures in the past few days since you came to the capital. Why are you still living in that broken Caolu? You can obviously live in a better place."

Tang Xi looked embarrassed, "This? Guess."

"Master, you are really amazing. You are obviously a rich woman with unparalleled wealth, but you pretend to be a pauper. All your clothes are discounted goods, and the only good one was given by a professional. I guess Master is afraid

Targeted by thieves."

Tang Xi put his hands behind his back and faced the big tree, "Yes, you have to be low-key as a person."

"Master is indeed brilliant!"

Early next morning.

The queen sent a ceremonial official to drive to Tang Xi's residence.

Tang Xi wore a simple green dress. As soon as he stepped out of the small courtyard gate, a motorcade came towards him.

A four-horse carriage, a fragrant carriage with a canopy, and ten guardsmen stood in two rows. The carriage stopped in front of Tang Xi, and a woman in red palace clothes got out of the carriage. She looked to be in her early twenties.

I looked around and saw that her pink clothes were darker. It seemed that her official position was higher than that of Aunt Chang.

"Hello? Why isn't Grandma Chang here?"

"The queen is seriously ill, and Aunt Chang cannot come out. I am Shi Liyan, the etiquette minister in the palace. From now on, I will teach Miss Tang the etiquette until you marry into the fourth prince's house."

Tang Xi smiled, "Let's go then! Let's go to Cai Ji to have breakfast. The two concubines will probably go to Rongdu."

Shi Liyan said, "Miss Tang, the two princes and concubines stayed at the palace last night. Princess Qingzi invited you to come over for morning tea."

"Why is it so early?"

Tang Xi got on the carriage and headed to the fourth prince's residence.

The fourth prince's residence is located on the mountain in the north of the city. This place was originally the old residence of King Yong, and it took a month to be renovated before it could be inhabited.

There is not even a stone carving of a house in front of the mansion, which looks very crude.

After getting off the car and entering the mansion, ten maids were lined up. The clothes worn by these maids were similar to those worn by Tang Xi. The scene was a bit embarrassing.

Upon entering the house, Qingconcubine's maid Fenxiang led her to the main hall.

Fenxiang said as she walked, "Miss Tang, Concubine Yan is seasick and is resting in the inner courtyard. Concubine Qing is the only one in the main hall."

After passing the garden, I looked around and saw rockeries and mud everywhere. I couldn't even see the grass. The road had not been repaired either.

When we came to the main hall, there were no windows, no bottles in the cabinets, and no lighting around. It looked shabby.

There is a round mahogany table in the middle of the hall. The table is gorgeously carved and covered with an even more exquisite tablecloth. It looks out of place with the surroundings.

Shen Guo told me that this table was a congratulatory gift from Kongtong sect Zhen Xiang to Fang Qing, and it was the only one in Dayu. Whenever poisonous food is placed on this table, black smoke will emit a warning, which is more dangerous than the Royal Silver Needle.

Easy to use.

Tang Xi muttered in a low voice, "The poisons detected by the silver needle are all impure poisons, but this table can detect high-level poisons that are colorless and odorless. Rich people!"

The table was full of people, leaving only an empty seat next to Fang Qing.

Fang Qing is sitting in the middle of the round table. She is wearing a pearl lotus and a blue lotus, a silver peacock hairpin on her side, jasper strings hanging from her ears, a blue moiré skirt, and a colorful glaze ring on her wrist.

Behind Fang Qing stood four more slaves, one serving tea, one looking at the stove, one holding a spittoon, and one holding a handkerchief.

There were eight beauties sitting at the table. I started the divine pot scan and found that these were all daughters of ministers. The clothes they wore were lotus root dresses made by Qingdi Lin.

A woman stood up and served Fang Qing with chopsticks. There was only rose porridge on the table, and she was serving it.

Tang Xi approached the dining table, and Fang Qing's body was filled with a faint scent of mint. Tang Xi was about to sit down when the woman who was serving Fang Qing suddenly shouted.

"You're so brave, who asked you to sit down?"

The woman moved the chair behind Tang Xi.

I just think this woman is out of her mind and a little angry.

Tang Xi crossed his arms and said, "Are you sick?"

After finishing his words, Tang Xi turned to look at Fang Qing.

Fang Qing said softly, "Yiluo, Miss Tang Xi is the future wife of Fourth Master, what are you doing?"

Shi Liyan said, "Miss Tang Xi, you can't sit still!"

"Why?"

Shi Liyan said in a straight tone, "According to Dayu's etiquette, before you come through the door, according to your rank, you should first salute Empress Qing."

Fang Qing smiled: "Shi Shang Palace, no need. I'm just having morning tea, no one else."

Shi Liyan was angry, "Miss Tang Xi, if you are not polite, it will be your slave's fault. Then we will go to the palace now to find the queen to apologize. I will ask Miss Tang Xi to kneel at the palace gate as punishment."

"Master, please bear with me for a while. It seems that this woman is just trying to delay your time. If you delay today, you won't be able to do anything later."

Tang Xi crossed his arms and bowed. Tang Xi caught a glimpse of Fang Qing, who was smiling with her head down.

Shi Liyan said seriously: "Miss Tang Xi, am I wrong? Salute according to rank, that is to kneel down, not bow."

I clenched my fists, this man was really pushing his limits. If the money hadn't been paid, who would have been Li Dexiu's wife? She was obviously the head wife, but she had to bear the wrath of a concubine.

"Master, you haven't come through the door yet. This is the rule."

Fang Qing smiled, "No need, let's sit down and eat."

After listening to Fang Qing's words, Shi Liyan personally brought a stool to Tang Xi.

Shi Liyan smiled: "Miss Tang, take a seat!"

I saw that the reactions of these two people were very coherent, and I felt that there was something going on, so I immediately used Shenguo to search for information, and sure enough, there was something fishy.

The people from the Kongtong faction sent a small box of gold bars to Shi Shang Palace yesterday.

I sat next to Fang Qing.

Fang Qing smiled, "Fennel, serve."

The square horseshoe crystal cakes are piled up into a hill, which looks like a small glazed pyramid tower. The bird's nest milk cake looks like a rose, with gold foil on top. The orange hawthorn cake poured with honey makes you sour when you smell it.

Drooling.

The wooden cage contains steamed dumplings stuffed with lobster. The dumpling skin is transparent and the shrimp meat is red. It looks very attractive. The carrot cake is fried in the shell and smells delicious.

Looking at the five large plates, I sighed. Is this also called morning tea? So few things, so many people.

Fang Qing smiled, "Shi Shanggong has worked hard, and the maids in the future mansion will depend on you for their training. Please take a seat."

Yiluo said, "Steamed lobster dumplings are a special breakfast item at Zhangjia Restaurant. Only high-level VIPs are eligible to queue up to buy it. My family's quota has been reserved until next year, but Queen Qing can actually eat it here."

"Everywhere, everyone is influenced by the Kongtong Sect."

I sandwiched dumplings and water chestnut cake. The steamed dumplings stuffed with lobster were really delicious. The water chestnut cake was not as delicious as the sweet-scented osmanthus made from the Red Poison Palace.

Shi Shanggong opened his eyes wide, "This bird's nest cake is Zhang Xixi's famous signature, one thousand copies."

Fang Qing smiled, "I heard that my sister was raised in a bitter cold place like the Dragon Forest. You can't eat this bird's nest cake on weekdays. Eat more."

In my last life, I was the daughter of an emperor, and the top-quality blood swallows stewed in my palace were really delicious. The milk in this bird's nest cake is too strong, and the bird's nests are also ordinary, so I don't want to eat them.

Seeing the bird's nest reminded me of my dead brother again. My brother loved to eat the blood swallow stewed in my palace.

Thinking of this moment, I want to complete the matchmaker task as soon as possible and go back to make a wish.

"Thank you for your kindness. I used to eat it often, but now I don't like it."

"The high priest has been going to Ziyuezhou to guard the border many years ago. There are no bird's nests there."

Yiluo despised, "Miss Tang doesn't like eating bird's nests, she likes to eat the leftovers from the kitchen."

"Yes! Maybe the queen will like to eat it if she throws it away."

Fang Qing angrily said, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Yiluo: "I'm not talking nonsense. This matter has been spread throughout Dayu City!"

The ladies laughed heartily.

Oops, I went to check the source of the poison, but I didn’t expect rumors to spread that I like to eat leftovers.
