Today all officials gathered at Prince Qi's Mansion. There were many officials here, so naturally there were many official orders.
So hundreds of flowers bloomed on the Luoyue Pavilion, and at a glance there were about a hundred ladies and ladies.
According to their status, rank and family power, most of these people cannot speak, and they don't even have a place to sit.
No, since Xiao Xiruo sat down, less than two fingers have spoken in the venue.
Most of them are the wives of the master's family, and the only one who has not left the cabinet is Hua Suyi, the fifth lady who has been raised by the Queen Mother all year round.
Therefore, Yan Moqing's opening instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The second young lady of the Yan family had made a marriage contract with King Qi, and then had an affair with King Xuan. Now she did not follow her mistress Jiang, but instead followed the eldest princess to the banquet.
The boudoir is lonely, who hasn’t thought about gossip?
In the past, they did not dare to talk to each other casually because of the eldest princess's face. Now, the second young lady actually opened her mouth and started arguing with Concubine Xiao.
Others may not understand what it means not to take things too seriously, but how can they, who are used to fighting in the backyard, not understand the meaning?
People obviously couldn't understand that Concubine Xiao was trying to help Prince Zi and the eldest princess talk to each other.
Gently rubbing the tea cup in her hand with her fingertips, Xiao Xiruo, who was originally confused, raised her eyebrows slightly. She only glanced at Yan Moqing and then smiled:
"I can't believe that Miss Yan Er also knows medical skills. So according to you, if I worry less, you can cure me?"
Yan Moqing frowned.
She just felt that the Concubine Xiao in front of her was deliberately embarrassing the eldest princess and brother Xuan, so she spoke to help.
Although it was a compliment, the reminder behind the words was true.
From her point of view, this noble concubine was already in decline and was living day by day.
Shouldn't such a person stay in the deep palace to be raised and spend his life quietly? Isn't it true that people who are thinking about things like this are just rushing...
Then, she was blocked in her heart by the other party's words.
Can it be cured?
Obviously it can’t be cured…
And if she directly said that it couldn't be cured, then the other party's words would undoubtedly mean...
Lowering her eyes and taking a sip of scented tea, Xiao Xiruo felt that Yan Moqing, as smart as she was, would definitely be able to understand what she meant.
That means if you can’t cure it, you’re just talking nonsense!
Sure enough, Yan Moqing's face quickly darkened, and although there was no anger in his eyes, there was a hint of displeasure.
But when she thought of Xiao Xiruo helping her out on the day of her birthday party, she finally said calmly:
"Mo Qing is not very talented and has little knowledge. I am afraid that I will disappoint the empress. The reason why Mo Qing opened his mouth is just to tell the empress that no matter what the cause of the illness is, it is not what he wants. The same is true for the empress, and the same is true for King Xuan."
"I think Miss Yan Er's words are reasonable."
Xiao Xiruo put down the tea cup, her eyes shining brightly.
"The patient is not voluntary, and the death of starvation is not voluntary, but the soldiers who are desperately stationed at the border are all voluntary~"
When you blamed me for taunting King Xuan and Princess Dachang with illness, did you ever think about their abominable faces when they forced my Xiao family and allowed the soldiers who defended our family and country to not have enough to eat?
So what if the book has a female protagonist?
Now that everyone has different positions, I, Xiao Xiruo, will not indulge you.
Sure enough, Yan Moqing stopped talking after Xiao Xiruo told the story about the border officers.
Not only her, but also the eldest princess and others.
Some things just stand on the moral high ground. Even if you know that you want to protect your own interests, you must leave morality and compassion behind. But when you really want to say those words shamelessly, you will still feel blushing.
Just like the wives of each family in front of them have their own factions, and now they all want to swallow this fat piece of Xiao family, but in public, no one dares to speak out to refute Xiao Xiruo.
Only the negative emotions rushing to the panel showed that after a brief period of shame, they turned to Xiao Xiruo's impatience, anger and disgust...
Xiao Xiruo was very happy about this.
In order to hurt their hearts even more, she unceremoniously broke the tea cup in her hand, letting the tea mixed with the fragments splash everywhere, which frightened the ladies and ladies in the inner circle to get up.
At this moment, Wan Xue, who was outside the pavilion, hurried over, lowered his head and whispered a few words into Xiao Xiruo's ear.
So Xiao Xiruo promptly stood up and said goodbye to all the arrogant ladies with a smile.
It was also at this time that Wen Susu, who had been standing next to Xiao Xiruo without saying a word and acting like an ordinary female official, turned around and looked at Yan Moqing.
That look was obviously smiling, but it made Yan Moqing feel cold.
Looking at the retreating figures of Xiao Xiruo and others, Yan Moqing's eyes, which had always been calm, finally became filled with waves.
This is the third time she has met this noble concubine.
The first time she was in embarrassment and helpless, it was the other party who suddenly offered support that allowed her and Lian Xiang to escape unscathed.
The second time was at the Lantern Festival reception banquet. She saw that the other party was late, so she helped the three Wang family members.
Today is the third time.
It was also the only time she spoke to the other party.
In just a few words, she knew that the other party was concerned about the border issues and was very unhappy about what happened to her father and brother.
At the same time, the other party is not the vulgar and ignorant person that others say, who can only fool around based on his identity and stupidity.
Xiao Xiruo is difficult to deal with.
Brother Xuan's plan to annex the Xiao family by borrowing military rations may not go as smoothly as imagined.
"Princess, there are so many people here and it's stuffy. Mo Qing wants to go out and enjoy some fresh air."
Raising his hand to tug the eldest princess' sleeve affectionately, Yan Moqing didn't stand up until the other party agreed.
Before getting up, she glanced at Jiang, who was smiling proudly, and prepared to help the original owner complete the mission of ruining the reputation of Jiang and his daughter.
In the bluestone pavilion on the other side, Xiao Xiruo was holding her snack box, wondering which cake on the second floor to start eating.
Sitting opposite her were Feng Yehan, who had been wanting to talk to her for a long time, and Lin Jiayan, who had been craving her snacks since he sat down.
Looking at Mr. Lin Xiaohou who was looking at her eagerly and almost drooling, Xiao Xiruo decisively took out a piece of peach blossom cake and began to eat it slowly in front of him.
While eating, she would look up at Lin Jiayan from time to time, her eyes full of the pleasure of enjoying the food.
Lin Jiayan: "..."
Lin Xiaohou was heartbroken by this scene. In the end, he could only look sideways at Feng Yehan beside him, hoping that this cousin could take care of his cousin.
However, Feng Yehan ignored him and directly spoke to Xiao Xiruo:
"Long time no see, what's going on between you and the emperor?"
Before Xiao Xiruo could speak, Lin Jiayan on the side already had the urge to cover her face.
No, why are you so fierce when you first come here?
If you do this, your cousin will answer you, so you are a ghost...
However, Xiao Xiruo really answered.
"I told my cousin that the emperor is so good-looking and I like him the most. My father and brother also said that it would be great if we could find a chance to take him back."
Feng Yehan: "?"
Lin Jiayan: "?"
Wen Susu and others were waiting aside: "?" This chapter has been completed!
