12. Chapter 12 Shut out
Author: Potato Chips Guaiguai
In a blink of an eye, the day of the banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived. Jiang Yue, wearing a lavender dress embroidered with gold, brought Ye Zi to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Before entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, I heard an annoying voice saying, "People nowadays are so shameless. I came here without inviting her. Do you think she looks familiar?"
Jiang Yue didn't need to look back to know that this strange person was Lin Rujin.
Jiang Yue ignored her and raised her legs to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, but was blocked by two guards.
"You can't enter without an invitation!"
The two of them heard Lin Rujin's words and knew that the Xuanping Hou Mansion had long been in decline. They mistakenly thought that Jiang Yue had come without permission, so they blocked her from the door.
They are all people who follow the trend, but Jiang Yue is not angry at all.
On the other hand, Ye Zi next to him was a little angry, "It was your Prime Minister's Mansion who invited my wife, and now she is stopping her. Is this how your Prime Minister's Mansion treats guests?"
The doorkeeper said, "You can't come in without an invitation!"
None of them asked Jiang Yue if she had an invitation, so they were sure that she didn't. It seemed like someone wanted to play a trick on her.
Lin Rujin stepped forward and walked to Jiang Yue, raising her face arrogantly, "This banquet at the Prime Minister's Mansion is not just for cats and dogs. As long as you have some self-awareness, just leave by yourself. Don't be kicked out by others. Then
It’s really a loss of face.”
Jiang Yue really didn't want to pay attention to her, "Thank you Miss Lin for your concern. If you have nothing to do, you should go in first, lest you have no place to sit when the banquet starts."
Lin Rujin smiled wantonly, "Sister, you are really good at joking. If I have an invitation, there will always be a place reserved for me. On the other hand, you, even if you force your way in, will not have a place in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our wife has an invitation..."
Before Ye Zi finished speaking, a cold voice interrupted.
"What are you arguing about?"
The person speaking was none other than Su Ruoxi, the daughter of the prime minister's palace.
Su Ruoxi was noble and generous, with outstanding appearance. She wore a long dress that swept the floor, and walked in front of Jiang Yue step by step.
Jiang Yue greeted her with a smile, but Su Ruoxi raised her chin as if she didn't see her.
He scolded the doorkeeper, "Don't be lazy. Those without invitations cannot enter. If you sneak in, you are the only one asking!"
Ye Zi couldn't help but defend his wife, "You invited our wife here, why don't you admit it now? Are you kidding me?"
Su Ruoxi glanced coldly at Ye Zi, "Where did you come from, this unreasonable girl."
Then his eyes stopped on Jiang Yue and turned away in disgust, "I don't remember inviting Madam Xiao, Madam should go back early."
After saying that, she was about to turn around and leave. Lin Rujin rolled her eyes at Jiang Yue and said, "That's right, Mrs. Xiao still thinks she is the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor? Let's go quickly, don't be an eyesore here!"
After saying that, he followed Su Ruoxi into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As the saying goes, when a tree falls, the monkeys will scatter. The Xuanping Marquis Mansion is not as good as before. He married Xiao Liran, a criminal, so he is naturally looked down upon by others.
Before the two of them had gone far, they heard a voice behind them, "Mrs. Xiao, please!"
The two of them turned around at the same time, and saw the invitation in Jiang Yue's hand shining with a dark golden light in the sunlight.
Su Ruoxi was slightly shocked. Jiang Yue was not invited by her. She had seen the invitation list and her name was not on it. Why was there an invitation now?
But if she has an invitation, she is a guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If she neglects her, it will be the fault of their Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Since Mrs. Xiao has an invitation, please come in!"
"Wait a minute, I sent out an invitation and was turned away. Is this how your Prime Minister's Palace treats guests?"
Jiang Yue's voice was not loud, but she felt extremely aggrieved. She was standing outside the high-walled gate, and many passers-by looked at her.
Su Ruoxi didn't want to make things worse, so she walked up to Jiang Yue, glared at the two servants beside her in front of her, and said reproachfully, "I want you two to keep your eyes open. Since Mrs. Xiao has an invitation, why are you blocking her from entering? Everyone."
One month’s salary will be deducted.”
The servant was also very confused and could only grit his teeth and accept the punishment, "Yes!"
Su Ruoxi turned to face Jiang Yue and smiled politely, "This servant made a mistake. Please forgive me, Mrs. Xiao. The banquet is about to start now. Please, Mrs. Xiao, sit down with me."
Jiang Yue Yingying wiped the corners of her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "I'm just afraid that someone like me, even with the invitation, won't have the space to join you for the banquet, that's all, I'd better go back first!"
Jiang Yue was about to leave, but people passing by stopped to watch and whisper to each other.
Everyone knows that Jiang Yue from Shengjing has a noble status and is pampered. Not to mention the prime minister's banquet, there are also banquets in the palace.
But after the fall of the Tutor's Mansion, Jiang Yue could only marry into the Xiao family in a hurry. Xiao Liran also left the mansion to take refuge on the day of the wedding and has not returned yet, leaving such a beautiful woman alone in the empty house.
Whenever Jiang Yue is mentioned, people in Shengjing feel that this woman is really pitiful.
Now, I saw Jiang Yue sobbing softly in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion and secretly scolding the Prime Minister's Mansion with contempt.
Seeing that the passers-by started to criticize the Prime Minister's Mansion and their voices became louder and louder, Su Ruoxi quickly pulled Jiang Yue through the door, "Mrs. Xiao, please don't leave. These servants made a mistake and bumped into the madam. Ruoxi is here to make amends to the madam."
.”
Jiang Yue flicked her moist eyes with a mocking smile on her lips.
Isn't that just the way people are? It never hurts unless it hits you.
Now I can't stand even a light poke.
When the two of them were walking to the hall, Jin Hua, who was beside the Prime Minister's wife, came to greet her. She saluted Jiang Yue respectfully, "Madam, she heard that Mrs. Xiao was here. She was very happy and wanted to meet you and chat about family matters."
Jiang Yue was surprised, thinking that she had no blood relationship with the Prime Minister's wife. The two only knew each other because the Prime Minister had a good relationship with his grandfather. They didn't have much interaction in private. Why did he suddenly want to meet her?
chat?
But having already received the invitation, Jiang Yue smiled and agreed, and went to the prime minister's wife's room with Jinhua.
Although the Prime Minister's wife is already a middle-aged lady, her charm is still there. In addition, she has been nourished by the wind and rain over the years, and she looks much younger than many people think.
When she saw Jiang Yue arriving, she stood up from the dressing table with a smile on her pretty face, "I've been waiting for you to come."
Jiang Yue Yingying bowed to her and thought to herself, what kind of drama is she planning to sing?
"Jiang Yue has met the Prime Minister's wife."
The Prime Minister's wife held her hand affectionately and said, "This is my home. I ordered someone to send you an invitation just because I want to meet you and talk to you."
The Prime Minister's wife saw Jiang Yue smiling and said nothing, stroking the back of her hand and continued, "We haven't seen her for a long time, and she has grown up a lot. I just didn't expect that something like this happened to the Xiao family, and it will hurt you."
Jiang Yue pursed her lips and looked at her regretful expression, feeling very puzzled.
When did their relationship become so good?
"I heard that you are very close to the prince, but is it true?"
The Prime Minister's wife asked tentatively.
Jiang Yue immediately realized that she came to him to ask about her relationship with Gu Mo.
