Anyway, Concubine Shu sent an invitation, and she didn’t give an order in public, so shouldn’t people be allowed to decline politely?
As for whether refusing would lose Concubine Shu’s face...
Xiao Lingyue sneered in her heart - Concubine Shu was obviously going to come to her to cause trouble. Regardless of whether she gave her face or not, would Concubine Shu let her go?
Won't!
Since it won't.
So what if she doesn't give face?
However, it made Concubine Shu even more angry, and she would still find the trouble she needed to find.
It was precisely because of seeing this clearly that Xiao Lingyue refused without hesitation and sneered at Aunt Zhuqing.
Aunt Zhuqing was worthy of being a woman from the palace. Although she was half choked to death by Xiao Lingyue's words, she quickly reacted and said with a smile: "What the county master said is, the imperial concubine."
There are a lot of adults, so naturally they won't care about these things, but the empress's birthday banquet attracted the attention of many people inside and outside the palace.
Many people want an invitation from the empress, but they still can't get it.
If I know that the County Lord has received the invitation but has no time to attend the banquet, then...
Haha, I’m afraid many people will be jealous of the county lord and feel sorry for the county lord!”
Xiao Lingyue immediately heard the meaning of her words and sneered in her heart.
Translated, this means: Concubine Shu is sending you an invitation because she thinks highly of you! You know how many people in the capital want an invitation but don’t have one yet!
I advise you not to drink wine as a penalty if you don't drink a toast, or don't go even after being given an invitation.
When the time comes for someone to be jealous and cause trouble for you, don’t blame us at Jinhua Palace for not warning you in advance!
She is worthy of being a nun in the harem.
It was clearly a warning and threat, but it was said in a tactful and pleasant way, and the smile was more natural than Xiao Lingyue's.
Xiao Lingyue curled her lips: "Aunt Zhuqing stays in the palace all year round. I'm afraid she doesn't know that my reputation in the capital has never been very good, and I have long been used to it. If anyone feels sorry for me, I will
I am willing to forward this invitation to her, as long as Concubine Shu doesn't mind."
If someone really comes to trouble her because of this love note.
Then go ahead!
Anyway, her reputation in the capital has never been good, and she has been brought into trouble for no apparent reason, not just once or twice.
She will throw the invitation in the face of anyone who dares to come, and whoever wants to go can go.
As long as Concubine Shu doesn't mind, what is she afraid of?
Aunt Zhuqing's face turned a little blue, and she could no longer hold back her smile. She looked at her with a sinister look: "So, the county master has made up his mind to reject the imperial concubine's invitation?"
Xiao Lingyue sighed: "It's not that I want to refuse. I admire Concubine Shu very much in my heart. It would be a great honor to congratulate her on her birthday in person, but it's really unfortunate... Although I can go by myself
No, but I will definitely prepare a thoughtful gift for the concubine. I think the concubine is so broad-minded that she won’t argue too much with me.”
Aunt Zhuqing: "..." Her eyes turned ferocious.
Who cares about her gift?!
Concubine Shu has repeatedly said that she must attend the birthday banquet in person. What is the use of sending a congratulatory gift from afar?
Does the imperial concubine still lack a congratulatory gift from her?
no.
This bitch must have become suspicious and refused to attend the birthday banquet again and again!
She has to find a suitable reason so that she can't refuse.
Aunt Zhuqing's thoughts were racing, and she said with a smile: "I'm afraid the county master doesn't know that your majesty will also be present at your birthday party in person. I also heard that the county master had a rescue function in Xiangguo Temple, and the queen is heartbroken.
I am grateful. I have told His Majesty a long time ago that I want to see the County Lord in person and express my gratitude to the County Lord in person! Therefore, it does not matter what kind of gift you send. The County Lord should attend the banquet in person to live up to the Queen’s wishes!
