Chapter 55 Going to the banquet with the support of the princess
The sun shone brightly, Su Wan sat in the car with a gloomy face. A little girl ran from the direction of the King of Jin Palace and replied to Su Wan: "Report to the princess, the prince and the concubine have just finished their breakfast, but they have not been cleaned up yet. Let the princess wait for a while."
Su Wan asked coldly, "Didn't the prince go to the morning court today?"
The little girl replied: "I heard from the maid of the King of Jin Palace that the prince got up late today and there was nothing wrong in the court. The prince took a leave today."
Su Wan remembered the warm fragrance that Madam Chun burned last night. She tried her best to keep him. Instead, she made wedding clothes for others for nothing. Xiao Jin has always been diligent, but now she is fascinated by this hoof and doesn't even go to court. She gritted her teeth and cursed with hatred: "Fox charming dead hoof."
A big maid next to her leaned into Su Wan's ear and said, "This bitch is a skill of fox charm. I heard from the people serving in the King of Jin's Palace that there is still some movement in the inner room every night in the second half of the night."
Su Wan was angry, and her words were just adding fuel to the fire. She turned around and raised her hand and tugged on the maid's face, cursing: "Die hoof, shut your mouth."
Su Wan always showed her gentle face, but suddenly this made everyone stunned and knelt down, "Princess forgives her guilt, and the princess forgives her guilt."
"What's wrong with the princess? Why are you so angry?" Mei'er dressed up and walked closer with Xianglan and Aqu.
When Su Wan saw Mei'er's charming little face, she wanted to go up and ruin her face. She suppressed her anger and replied: "I'll scold her a few words. It's getting late, let's go."
Mei'er got into the Chinese car, Xianglan put down the curtain of the car, leaned into Mei'er's ear and whispered: "I saw the princess's expressions that I looked different when I saw you recently."
Mei'er smiled, "She doesn't like me, and I don't like her either."
Xianglan said: "Now that the prince spoiled you like this, she felt very uncomfortable. I heard from the little girls that the prince went to Qixia Palace to celebrate her birthday last night, and the two seemed to have a quarrel in the hall."
Last night, Xiao Jin looked unhappy when he came back. Although Mei'er didn't ask much, he guessed that it was the two of them who had a bad time.
Xianglan looked at Mei'er and continued to murmur: "I have followed you to the front hall for so long, why haven't I seen the prince spend the night with her once? We used to be in the backyard and didn't know about the front yard. I only heard that the prince is very nice to her, but now it doesn't seem that way."
In fact, Mei'er was always puzzled. Since she approached Xiao Jin, she carefully recalled the various things between Xiao Jin and Su Wan. It seemed that there had been a rift between the two, especially Xiao Jin did not seem to have any feelings for Su Wan. Could it be that she misunderstood him in the previous life that Mei'er dared not think about it? If she was really the willful misunderstood him, how much she and Xiao Jin in the previous life would have missed her.
Duke Jingguo was an important official in the court, with a high position and a powerful position. Today, the young master gathered in the marriage house, and Su Wan and Mei'er sat down at the daughter's banquet.
Now that Concubine Li has lost power, her throne has fallen back to the Chen family. Xiao Jin was originally quite popular in the court. Now the position of crown prince is clearly distinguished. Princess Jin may be the future queen of the Great Zhou. The most defiant thing in the world is flatterers. As soon as Su Wan sat down, a group of noble ladies came over to curry favor with her.
Su Wan responded with a smile, and glanced at Mei'er sitting beside her from time to time. Some strange things that have happened in the Jin Palace have been spreading outside. There is no good thing about the harmony of wives and concubines in the world. Today, seeing Su Wan with a noble lady with an outstanding beauty, everyone has already guessed that this is the newly-appointed concubine of the Jin Palace.
Let her make a fool of herself, this is a good opportunity to curry favor with Princess Jin.
"Who is this beautiful lady that Princess Jin is with her today?" Zhang, the wife of the Censor of the Inspectorate, took the lead in attacking.
Su Wan smiled faintly, "I forgot to introduce it to you. This is the concubine of my prince Xinna." After that, she looked at Mei'er deeply and pretended to be concerned: "My sister is still used to it for the first time to attend such a banquet?"
Mei'er smiled and replied, "Why is it the first time I attended the house banquet in the palace a few days ago. Didn't I just go to the prince? Did the princess forget it?"
Su Wan was speechless for a moment.
Zhang laughed, "The Prince of Gongyan has brought his concubines there, which shows that the prince values you so much."
Mei'er casually said, "I didn't want to go at first, so the prince had to take me there, so I had to go there reluctantly."
Zhang was drinking fragrant tea. As soon as Mei'er said this, she almost choked and coughed violently while covering her handkerchief.
Zhang's cousin Li saw that her cousin was put on a public face by Mei'er, and asked sarcastically: "The prince valued his concubine so much, so the concubine must be from a famous family, I don't know the concubine..."
Before she could finish her words, Mei'er rushed back and said, "No, I was just a humble little singer. I accidentally entered the prince's mansion, so the prince insisted on taking me as his concubine."
As soon as these words were said, the noble ladies around were in an uproar. Zhang smiled and said with a wry smile: "It is such a blessing for a little singer to marry the dignified King of Jin."
Mei'er smiled and said, "Marrying well may not be a blessing. Being able to marry a husband who is dedicated to her will be considered a blessing for a woman."
As soon as Mei'er said this, most of the noble ladies here changed their faces. Which of these officials and nobles has a large family? How many of these women, even though they are of noble origin, can truly win over their husband's heart?
In the last life, Mei Ergui was the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's family. She was used to the hypocritical faces of these noble ladies and knew their psychology and weaknesses. Today, Su Wan brought her here to see her make a fool of herself. Her humble origin is the biggest laughing stock among these women who regard themselves as noble. If they want to make her unhappy, how can she make them do what they want?
"Sister-in-law, when did you come?" Chaogui had already come, and had already seen all this in his eyes. Seeing Mei'er making these shallow women look like a pig's face, he couldn't help but secretly admire Mei'er.
It is worthy of being my prince’s favorite, and I have two tricks!
Seeing that it was Chaogui, Su Wan thought she would call her again, and smiled and replied, "I just arrived, when did the princess arrive?"
Chao Guili ignored her, raised her noble head and stepped on her golden clogs, walked straight to Mei'er, and smiled and joked, "How could the emperor brother be willing to let the emperor's sister-in-law come out today?"
Chaogui's actions clearly told everyone that Xiao Jin's favorite person was this master.
Concubine Jing is now the lord of the central palace, and Chaogui is now the legitimate princess. The legitimate princess is obviously trying to support this concubine. Everyone can't help but think about it. This woman from the little singer is definitely in extraordinary position in the hearts of the King of Jin. The position of Princess of Jin is probably in danger. So everyone looked at Su Wan again and said that she was either mocking or sympathetic.
Zhang and Li, who had just mocked Mei'er, quickly avoided the crowd's inadvertent attention, and some were shocked. They secretly thanked that they were not busy taking action just now, and came to Mei'er's side intentionally or unintentionally. This dress was beautiful, and the one asked Mei'er what rouge was using.
During the whole banquet, Su Wan's face was as cold as the winter ice, and she was like a needle and needle, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
