Knowing that entering the palace this time would not be peaceful, I didn't expect that before the banquet even started, someone could not wait to take action.
He Yunxi rolled his eyes, who came up with such a mentally retarded method?
She stepped aside, and the palace maid fell magnificently into the lotus pond.
"ah--"
The screams immediately attracted the guests who were already present, and everyone looked over, just in time to see the scene where the palace maid fell into the lotus pond.
"Oh my god, someone fell into the water! Help rescue them!"
"Quickly, use the pole to pull the person over."
"Why did it fall?"
"..."
The palace maid moved over by herself, and then two eunuchs pulled her up.
After the palace maid got up, she immediately knelt down in front of He Yunxi and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lu, I almost bumped into you just now."
He Yunxi raised his eyebrows, but before he could speak, he heard Liu Xiaonuo reproaching: "Mrs. Lu, why did you get out of the way just now instead of not helping her? If you had helped her, she wouldn't have fallen into the lotus pond.
.Or do you think she is just a palace maid with a humble status and is not worthy of your help?"
When the ladies and ladies next to them heard Liu Xiaonuo's words, they all looked at He Yunxi with contempt.
A person of her background actually looks down on the maids in the palace. This is a bad habit that cannot be changed once she becomes powerful.
He Yunxi was not surprised at all that Liu Xiaonuo spoke out.
She and Fu Yarui are good friends. In their opinion, Fu Yarui's current fate is all because of herself. It is normal for her to suppress herself.
But, can she suppress herself if she wants to?
She widened her eyes and looked at Liu Xiaonuo with a strange look on her face. The look in her eyes made Liu Xiaonuo's back shiver. He subconsciously took a step back and asked out of breath: "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say that?"
Isn’t that right?”
"I want to see if you look different from us." He Yunxi said.
"What's different?"
"Look if you have eyes on the back of your head!"
"Mrs. Lu, what do you mean? It's a party held by the queen in public, how can you talk nonsense?" a lady scolded.
"I'm not talking nonsense!" He Yunxi said, "Miss Liu said that if I didn't help the palace maid, she wouldn't have fallen into the water if I had helped her?"
"What she said is right, isn't it?"
"Look, you all think what she said is right, so her thoughts are natural, right?" He Yunxi asked.
What is this worth repeating?
"However, I was facing the lotus pond and my back to the palace maid. When she bumped into me, I didn't have eyes on the back of my head, so I didn't see it. Princess Jin'an just happened to call me, so I moved towards her.
So, what does it have to do with me that she fell into the water?" He Yunxi said, "But if Miss Liu insists on blaming me, she can only say that she has eyes on the back of her head and thinks that others also have eyes.
I think I should support the palace maid."
"I……"
"Isn't it?" He Yunxi tilted his head and looked at Liu Xiaonuo, "Otherwise, at what point would Miss Liu accuse me?"
"Tsk, I just want to throw dirty water on you and make others hate you. Who here can't understand this point of view?" Liang Jinan snorted, "In other words, only those who are despicable will think that others are despicable.
Despicable, as soon as I see something happen, I can’t wait to jump out and blame others. But there are still a group of people who believe it. I don’t know if they have no brains or are just too single-minded and stupid.”
Liang Jinan's words made many people feel uncomfortable. But she was the princess, the daughter of King Zhennan, and the emperor's niece, so no one dared to offend her.
"Your clothes are soaked, you should go back and rest quickly." He Yunxi said to the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, "This is just a small accident. The Queen is kind and will not blame you."
From beginning to end, she never came near the palace maid, nor did she express any anger towards her. She even cared about her body and cleared the relationship with the queen.
The Queen is kind, if something happens to you later, it has nothing to do with the Queen.
The palace maid did not expect He Yunxi to be so vigilant. In this situation, it was useless for her to say anything.
There is no way to proceed with the subsequent plans.
She kowtowed to He Yunxi: "Thank you, Mrs. Lu, for not blaming me."
"Why are you still kneeling here? Go back and change your clothes quickly." A nun came over and said to the palace maid.
"Yes, Aunt Rong." The palace maid stood up and hurriedly left the imperial garden.
He Yunxi: Aunt Rong...
Forgive me for laughing unkindly.
The matter passed like this, but Liu Xiaonuo glared at He Yunxi very unkindly.
He Yunxi smiled at her, pointed to the back of his head, and said with lips: "Let me see?"
Liu Xiaonuo was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything.
Otherwise He Yunxi would call her a monster.
Because of this matter, other ladies and ladies did not come to talk to He Yunxi, and they also felt that He Yunxi's status was not worthy of talking to them.
Those who can come to the Lotus Banquet today are all those with status in the imperial court. After all, it is a concubine selection banquet. If you have no status and background, how can you be worthy of being a prince?
These people ignored He Yunxi and wanted to talk to Liang Jinan, but Liang Jinan was impatient to deal with these people and took He Yunxi to a pavilion and asked someone to bring some snacks. Then the two sat in the pavilion talking and eating, watching.
The young people in the imperial garden were laughing and playing, and the ladies were sitting together chatting.
He Yunxi looked at these people one by one and asked Liang Jinan if he met anyone he didn't recognize.
Liang Jinan is an expert at gossiping. Even if there are people she doesn't know, Da Huan and Xiao Huan will know them.
The woman I saw behind the Huguo Temple that day was indeed the granddaughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs. She acted like a lady, and she was good-looking. Unfortunately, she already had a crush on her.
After He Yunxi looked around at everyone, he thought of the purpose of the banquet and asked Liang Jinan: "Didn't I say that you were staying in the capital to get married? Why hasn't there been any movement yet?"
Liang Jinan is relatively old at his age. He was fat in the past and had low self-esteem, so he didn't get married. He is now seventeen years old. If he doesn't get married, it will be much more difficult for him to get married later.
Liang Jinan said: "Uncle Huang has already chosen someone for me. Now I will wait for my mother and concubine to come to the capital next month, and then the decree will be announced."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"That guy Duan Zhengyu."
He Yunxi's eyes widened: "He?"
"Yes. I asked Uncle Huang myself to ask for it." Liang Jin'an said, "But my request is that he become my wife."
"Does Duan Zhengyu agree?"
"Promise!" Liang Jin'an said, "I have already agreed with him. He wants to leave the Duan family, and it is just right for him to marry into his family."
He Yunxi knew that Duan Zhengyu's family was not very harmonious, but it was a bit outrageous to force Duan Zhengyu to leave even if he married into his wife.
