There are even many of them who are the princess herself. I don’t know if they were told something before coming here. They all regard Lin Xiaoman as a competitor, and their eyes when they look over are filled with hostility.

Lin Xiaoman felt uncomfortable being stared at by these eyes. When Xu Panxia told her that there were more unkind eyes on her, Lin Xiaoman could only smile bitterly.

Xu Panxia joked: "They love gossiping about others. Originally, I was famous for being different from other ladies in Beijing. Now that you associate with me, I'm afraid you will be burdened by my reputation."

Lin Xiaoman didn't care about this. She was born as a peasant girl and was incompatible with these ladies and elegant ladies. She didn't care about her reputation.

Besides, those princes and concubines looked at her as a love rival, which might even cause Xu Panxia to be hated by those people.

On the other hand, Xu Panxia admired Xu Panxia for putting herself in danger to save the people of Yuan County. Even though her medical skills were poor, her heart was still worthy of admiration.

In Lin Xiaoman's heart, this alone is much better than those ladies who only talk about people behind their backs.

But the reputation of noble girls in the capital is not good. No matter how powerful her mother's family is, she is afraid that she will not be able to marry unless she asks the queen to make the decision.

"Miss Xu, as the queen's niece, no one has ever mentioned that you should marry into the royal family?"

Xu Panxia waved her hand, "How can that be possible? The prince's cousin and my father are not much different in age. The prince's sister-in-law has a stable position and is an ally of my Xu family. How can I be allowed to marry and compete with the prince's sister-in-law? As for the prince's sister-in-law, how can I marry him?

The other princes also have their first concubines, so instead of asking me to marry them as a side concubine, it would be better for me to marry into a husband's family who can help the prince's cousin."

As he spoke, Xu Panxia's expression gradually became lonely, and he even showed a wry smile, "What's more, I originally had someone I liked, but he didn't like me. He even had a quarrel with the emperor and left the capital because he refused to marry me.

I ran away. Alas, my reputation is even worse. I don’t know whether I can get married in the future."

Lin Xiaoman felt a little distressed when he saw her like this. On the other hand, he felt that the person who refused to marry was ungrateful. What kind of daughter-in-law did he want if he didn't want such a beautiful and powerful daughter-in-law?

At the same time, she was curious about what the man she was attracted to looked like. How dared to have a quarrel with the emperor, and yet he could still run away from the capital in anger? Could he be the emperor's son?

But Xu Panxia said before that she would not marry the prince, so that meant she was an illegitimate child?

Just as they were suspicious, they saw two women, one red and one swallow, walking toward them. These two women were more luxuriously dressed than the other ladies who came to the palace banquet, and they looked like members of the royal family.

.

The two stood next to Lin Xiaoman and Xu Panxia. The woman in red smiled and said: "Isn't this Xu Panxia? Not with the ladies of the Xu family?"

The woman in blue covered her lips and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the young lady from the Xu family cherishes her reputation and doesn't want to go with her."

Xu Panxia's face turned dark obviously, but she still pulled Lin Xiaoman to stand up and greet the two of them, "Xu Panxia has met Princess Anyang and Princess Xinyang."

Lin Xiaoman belatedly paid tribute to the two princesses, but they only glanced at her briefly, nodded to her in return, and then giggled at Xu Panxia.

Princess Xinyang in blue even smiled and said: "No, you want to be our royal aunt, and I don't dare to accept your courtesy."

After saying that, she pushed Princess Anyang in red, "You said that Miss Xu is also very powerful. She scared the Sixth Emperor's uncle from returning to the capital for so long. I don't know if the Sixth Emperor's uncle will come to the palace banquet today."

Princess Anyang also had a look of resentment on her face, "Who knows? I heard that the Sixth Emperor's Uncle returned to Beijing, but he has never seen anyone. He may be hiding from someone."

After saying that, they all looked at Xu Panxia with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Xu Panxia pursed her lips and said nothing, but her expression was full of aggrievedness.

After ridiculing everyone, Princess Anyang and Princess Xinyang nodded to Lin Xiaoman and left. Lin Xiaoman didn't know what to say to comfort them. These two people were obviously here to vent their anger on their Sixth Emperor Uncle. Judging from their attitude towards her,

It’s not that you are condescending, you just don’t know what kind of forced marriage was used to force the uncle of the Sixth Emperor to leave?

However, considering the emperor's age, Lin Xiaoman didn't know what to say. It turns out that Xu Panxia likes uncle-style clothes.

When the others walked away, Xu Panxia sighed, "I don't blame them, it's because I was too self-righteous at the time. To be honest, I have regretted it for a long time. It was just that I was young at the time. I fell in love with the prince at first sight and wanted to marry him and become the princess. For this reason

I also asked my grandfather to use the elixir book given by the emperor... Sigh! If I have the opportunity to meet the prince, I will personally apologize to him."

Seeing Xu Panxia's expression becoming more and more lonely as she spoke, Lin Xiaoman could only console her: "Miss Xu is just not destined by fate. Rejecting Miss Xu is the prince's loss. Let's work together. Maybe one day fate will come and we can marry someone."

Better than him."

Xu Panxia shook her head, "There is no one better than him."

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? Lin Xiaoman couldn't understand what's good about a bad old man. Anyway, she just likes to be young and good-looking, like Lu Jin.

However, even though the pretty Miss Xu refused to marry him, Lin Xiaoman became a little curious about the Sixth Prince. How handsome is this old man?

Lin Xiaoman originally thought that when she met the third prince, if he dared to take advantage of her, he would make a fool of himself. Maybe it was because there were only female relatives here, and no man appeared until now, but he did see a few

The princes and concubines are all dressed up elegantly, but it is obvious that the princes and concubines also have their own camps.

Some of the queen's biological children were with the princes and concubines who were friends with these princes, some of the children of the concubine were with some of the princes and concubines they were friends with, and some were not close to either the queen or the concubine.

They gathered into several piles again.

There are also three princesses, the youngest Princess Liang is already thirty-seven or eighty years old. After hearing Xu Panxia say that Prince Liang is the emperor’s fifth brother, Lin Xiaoman thought that the sixth prince must be in his thirties, so he might be able to give

Xu Panxia becomes a father.

The three princesses were chatting not far away, and there were also many ladies who were close friends with them.

Someone asked whether Prince Liang would come to attend the palace banquet today. Princess Liang sighed, "Your Majesty wanted to come, but the burn he suffered from hot oil has not healed. It's hot today and I dare not move even more."

Xu Panxia whispered to Lin Xiaoman: "I heard that King Liang got a red oil pot from somewhere. He was cooking and eating it in his house last month. He sneezed and overturned the pot. The pot was hot.

The soup was spilled on the crotch, which is said to be cooked."

Lin Xiaoman was so shocked that she quickly covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming. First, she was afraid that the red oil pot that King Liang ate might be spicy hot pot. If the weather went bad, she, the person who grew the pepper, would be blamed.<
