After a pause, she said reluctantly: "If there is any offense, please forgive me, Lord Anping."
"I dare not take it." Xiao Lingyue said lightly, walked over and picked up the invitation, opened it and took a look.
The contents inside are nothing strange.
Because it was written by a servant from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the words were respectful and polite, and they could not find any fault. They also wrote about the birthday party of Jinhua Palace, and a golden palace seal was stamped below.
After reading it, Xiao Lingyue put the invitation back and said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness in Concubine Shu. Unfortunately, it's not a coincidence that I have to do something in two days, so I'm afraid I have no time to go to the palace to have a banquet, so I can only invite the nanny on my behalf. I apologize to the Imperial Concubine for me. At that time, I will ask Mr. Zhou to help my birthday gift and deliver it to the Jinhua Palace on time. I also ask the Imperial Concubine to forgive me."
Xiao Lingyue said politely and comprehensively. Although her tone was cold, she could not make any mistakes.
But no matter how polite and polite you are, you can't change the meaning of the words.
She actually refused!
Unbelievable expressions immediately appeared in the eyes of Zhou Bo and Madam Zhu Qing.
Especially Madam Zhu Qing, she never thought that "Chen Wan" would refuse, so she was shocked and almost couldn't hold back the expression on her face.
“…”
The atmosphere suddenly stiffened.
Madam Zhu Qing reacted and her face turned a little ugly: "Mr. Anping County Master, the Empress specially ordered me to send an invitation. She was originally valued by you. What you mean was that you would refuse to attend the Empress's birthday party?"
Her tone was a bit questioning.
Xiao Lingyue asked back, "This post is an invitation to me by the Imperial Concubine, right?"
Madam Zhuqing frowned: "What's the problem?"
"Since it's an invitation, I should have the right to refuse, right? The nanny asked me this, and I almost thought it was not an invitation, but an order from Concubine Shu, and it was not allowed to be rejected." Xiao Lingyue was coldly and coldly Said.
Madam Zhuqing: "..." She choked for a moment.
Xiao Lingyue bent her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes.
She continued: "If I was asked to attend the birthday party, it was the order of Concubine Shu, then you can just say it directly, and I naturally have no right to refuse. But if it was an invitation, it would be really unfortunate that I did have some private affairs these two days. , I didn't know in advance that the birthday of the Imperial Concubine was coming, so I didn't make any arrangements in advance. It's a pity that I could only let down the good intentions of the Imperial Concubine."
After a pause, she bent her lips and smiled, "Of course, the birthday of the imperial concubine is a great event. Although I regret not being able to attend, I will still offer the birthday gift. There are many concubines Shu, I believe I won't be with me." The little county lord is conspiring? Right?"
Madam Zhuqing: "..."
Her face turned blue and white, and all her words were blocked and she couldn't speak.
Xiao Lingyue said everything in a very thorough manner without any leakage.
Even if Madam Zhu Qing wanted to refute and wanted to pick on it, she didn't know how to choose for a while.
Say it was an invitation.
The invited person has the right to refuse.
Unless she changes her words and says that this is an order, she must participate and cannot be refused.
But, this is unreasonable.
Because Xiao Lingyueming is just a county lord, his identity is not very high, and he is not a royal relative.
Concubine Shu is at least half the harem lord. It is reasonable to invite the princess and ladies to celebrate her birthday. She insisted on letting a county lord who had nothing to do with the royal family to attend the birthday party...
All fools know that there must be something wrong with this!
In addition, Xiao Lingyue's words also hid needles in the cotton, which sounded respectful and thoughtful, but they stabbed people everywhere. This chapter has been completed!
