Chapter 563: Hongmen Banquet

As she said this, she actually wanted to kneel down to Xie Songhua.

Of course Xie Songhua cannot afford this.

She quickly helped him up, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Madam, please don't worry, I have interacted with Sister Ye several times, she is a very good girl, if something really happens, I will not stand idly by.

But to be honest, I really don’t know what will happen at this banquet, so I can’t guarantee anything to Madam. I hope you can understand.”

"Of course!" The Duke's wife suddenly became excited. She held Xie Songhua's hand and nodded repeatedly, "As long as the princess says this, I feel more at ease. If there is anything you need in the future, I can help.

, Princess, just speak."

"It's easy to talk about."

After they were sent away, Xie Songhua frowned.

Everyone knows that this banquet is for the sake of publicity. Will the third prince really endure it like this?

After a day of waiting, the day before the banquet, there was no one on the street.

In such a solemn atmosphere, it seems that if nothing happens, it will be disrespectful to the current position of both sides.

Xie Songhua couldn't help but think of Zhou Yu, and wondered what Zhou Yu was planning at this time.

Will the Queen refuse the banquet invitation?

But just thinking about it, she knew that she would definitely not go. If she did, she would be the hostage of the third prince. No matter what, she would escape with her life.

Seeing the night falling little by little, the house became busy.

It's just that the busyness is hidden in the dark, and only the sound of low footsteps can be heard faintly.

There were even guards outside Xie Songhua's courtyard.

Butler Huo took people back and forth to check several times before he walked in and greeted her, "I'm afraid there will be some sluts at night. Princess, don't worry, everything in the house has been prepared, so you won't be surprised."

princess."

What a bastard, but tonight is the last chance for tomorrow's banquet. If the third prince wants to take action, he should take action tonight.

Xie Songhua knew that there was actually no danger in the palace, but she couldn't help being infected by the atmosphere in front of her and became nervous.

It's easy for her to think too much when she's nervous, but at this time, she can't think too much.

So after taking a look at the things in the east cross courtyard, she started to declare the decree and simply started practicing her calligraphy calmly.

Just when she felt a little calmer, there was a sudden noise from the window behind her, which startled her. She turned around but saw nothing.

After wondering for a while, he checked again and again to make sure no one was outside, then closed the window again and bolted the window bolt together.

When I returned to the desk, I discovered that there was an extra note on it.

This immediately caused a thin layer of sweat to form on her back.

Holding the note, Xie Songhua felt her breathing become heavier. She turned her face and looked around, but there was nothing suspicious.

After unfolding the note, Xie Songhua saw at a glance that it was Xiao Yu's handwriting.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that Xiao Yu's handwriting was a bit inconsistent with his personality.

Because the strokes of these characters are actually a bit too square.

But it’s also really easy for people to remember.

I don't know who he asked to be thrown in, but considering that he is one of his people, it makes perfect sense to be able to sneak in unharmed.

I don't know if it was because of his note, but Xie Songhua felt a lot calmer in her heart. She curled her lips and took another piece of paper. This time, she wrote the entire page completely.

Just when I finished writing this piece of paper, Butler Huo came outside again.

Unless Xie Songhua calls him, or there is something important, generally speaking, he rarely runs to the main courtyard by himself.

I came here once in the evening and now again, maybe something important has happened.

Sure enough, as soon as Butler Huo saw her, he said: "Someone came from the palace just now, saying that His Majesty will also attend tomorrow."

Then he came over with two trays and said, "These are several sets of palace clothes sent by the queen. They said that they can choose one according to the princess's preference. What the queen means is, please don't dress too much."

Sujing, Your Majesty has just recovered from a serious illness, so it will be more lively and festive."

Naturally, these words were not really spoken to these women who were destined to be pregnant. The news must have spread to all the city gates.

In fact, it was to frighten the third prince and those who supported him.

At this time, the city gate has been closed. Whether the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department will open the door at this time will test the determination and decision-making ability of the third prince.

Xie Songhua simply wrote another word. When his wrist became a little sore from writing, he put the pen down.

Then go to sleep peacefully.

I slept until dawn without even dreaming.

It was quiet outside, and it was obvious that nothing happened last night.

It seems that the third prince is still too timid to take action at this time.

After all, at this time, the Queen had already stated that Emperor Yufeng was fine, so he was a disciple of Wuming. Even if he killed the prince, he would not be able to ascend to the throne of God. Instead, he made wedding clothes for the sixth prince and others.

Then let’s take a look at the performance of the prince and the queen today.

Xie Songhua asked people to change into the plain palace clothes prepared yesterday, but did not change into the palace clothes sent by the queen. Otherwise, she really didn't like those clothes with gold and silver threads. There were a lot of excess on her plain body.

Weight in kilograms.

If she is not sober, she will naturally have her own way of dressing that is not sober.

After having a hearty lunch at home, I boarded the carriage to the palace.

The time for the Queen's banquet was in the afternoon. It was said that it was a spring day, and no one was enjoying the spring scenery of the Royal Garden. It was really lonely, so she invited people to come over and join in the fun.

When Xie Songhua arrived, many carriages were already parked at the first gate of the inner palace.

But with the privilege of Prince Chen's Mansion, she could ride a carriage all the way inside.

We arrived at the Queen's Kunning Palace first and saw Queen Zhao with a smile on her face.

The Queen Zhao we met this time was completely different from the sickly beauty we met for the first time.

As soon as she saw Xie Songhua, she greeted her enthusiastically, "I haven't seen Princess Chen come to the palace for a long time. I am worried that you won't come today!"

"My Lady has been busy taking care of His Majesty. Now that I am calling everyone here, I think it is because His Majesty is in better health. How can I be absent from such an important matter?"

As he said this, he lamented sincerely that the Queen had been subjected to such things. They were all false politeness, and the speaker did not care, and the listener did not listen.

At this time, the queen looked at the clothes on her body in surprise and asked, "Why is the princess not wearing the clothes that I sent you, but they don't suit your liking?"

Xie Songhua hurriedly stepped back and bowed, "Just as I was about to apologize to the empress, the maids in my concubine's house really didn't get the table. I originally thought that I would take a good bath at the banquet today, but the maid clumsily threw a bottle of

The scented dew spilled onto my clothes.

I originally wanted to bring it here and ask the queen to deal with it directly, but I was afraid that it would ruin the queen's good mood today."

When the queen heard this, she smiled and said, "What's the point of asking you to apologize? It's just a few pieces of clothing. The princess has a natural appearance, and she looks more beautiful than anyone else in anything she wears."

At this time, many married women had already arrived. After the two of them had exchanged greetings, they came to salute Xie Songhua.

I didn't expect Qi to come too.

But Xie Songhua was really surprised when he saw Qi today.

It had only been a while since then, but she looked a lot more haggard, and even her temples seemed to be stained with dust and frost.

However, next to her were the old lady and Mrs. Yu. Seeing her, the old lady waved her hands repeatedly. In front of outsiders, she naturally acted like a loving mother and a filial son, which made it quite lively.

Empress Zhao seemed to have just discovered that Qi was very ill, and said calmly: "Ah, I was just worried that some people would deliberately avoid coming, so I said such a thing. I didn't expect everyone to take it seriously.

, Mrs. Xie is so ill, how can she sit still?"

Mrs. Xie quickly said: "Thank you for your consideration, my wife. I heard that the banquet was hosted by your mother, and her name was mentioned in the post. She seemed so happy that her heavy body felt lighter."

Empress Zhao then smiled and said: "Don't try to be brave. If you really feel uncomfortable, you must say it first."

After talking so quickly, there was no intention to let him go, which shows the sharpness behind Yan Yan's words.
