Chapter 26 The Word of Fortune(1/2)
This year's Pearl Banquet was the most unexpected among all the events.
In the past, although those noble ladies had many things to do, no one dared to come to the Queen's banquet, but today's incident really opened everyone's eyes.
Everyone could see that the Queen was suppressing her temper and laughing with everyone.
If the Queen hadn't been so gentle, she would have lost her temper today. At the very least, she couldn't just let them go back like this.
Fu Qing, who was sent to Concubine Yue by Aunt Chunxi, still looked unhappy.
While her slightly red and swollen wrists were being rubbed by the palace attendants, she cried to Concubine Yue.
"Aunt, that Xie Jiaqi is really bullying. She dared to come up and beat me regardless of my aunt's face!"
Concubine Yue pinched a melon seed with her slender fingers and put it into her mouth.
"You too, the Queen has invited you to a banquet. You can go and go quietly. Why do you have to cause trouble?"
Fu Qing snorted: "I don't know what kind of evil possessed the Queen, but she even invited Fu Yu over."
"I am the Queen, whatever I do is right."
"Anyway, I just can't stand it. I can't stand the Queen, and I can't stand Fu Yu."
"Okay." Concubine Yue took the handkerchief handed over by the palace attendant and wiped her hands, "You also beat Fu Yu today, and you didn't let Xie Jiaqi get any benefits. Calm down, and my aunt will ask someone to give him a
You make the banquet, and we don’t care about the queen’s.”
"Yes, the food here is many times more delicious than the Queen's!"

Su Changle did not come out alone in a carriage today. When he left the palace, he naturally asked Princess Jin to take him back to the palace.
After all, Princess Jin is getting older and she didn't take a nap today, so she felt a little tired in the carriage.
Su Changle didn't know what he was thinking while sitting in the carriage.
Princess Jin closed her eyes and focused, talking to Su Changle at one point or another: "Good girl, you go and see the child in Jia Qi tomorrow. It seems that she was beaten a bit badly today."
"Xie Jiaqi just didn't hit her seriously, otherwise Fu Qing wouldn't even be able to touch half of her hair."
Su Changle knew how much Xie Jiaqi was capable of.
"This kid in Jiaqi is still very capable. If that Fu Qing acts recklessly next time, why not teach her a lesson? Otherwise, she will always think how powerful she is and mess with people she shouldn't mess with every day."
Princess Jin has always liked Xie Jiaqi, not to mention...
Xie Jiaqi and Su Heng are still engaged.
Xie Jiaqi and Su Heng were quite different in age, but their engagement was decided from their mother's womb.
Although……
Xie Jiaqi didn't want to admit it at all.
Xie Jiaqi tolerates her brother every day, but she really can't bear that her future husband will be like her brother.
Every time Su Changle told Xie Jiaqi about this, she would cover her ears and refuse to listen. Even Xie Jiaqi, who liked staying at Prince Jin's Mansion very much when she was a child, has not been there for a long time now.
Everything else is fake!
Aren’t you afraid of meeting Su Heng?
Su Changle was sent back to the house by Princess Jin. It was already very late at this time. Su Changle did not go to Jiang Shen's side anymore. Naturally, he didn't know that Jiang Shen's poison tortured him until midnight before he got a cure.
medicine.
Su Changle ate breakfast in a hurry the next morning and went to Xie's Mansion.
After Xie Jiaqi was sent back yesterday, although the Queen Mother did not punish her, she did not escape the punishment of her father Xie Yan. When Su Changle passed by, Xie Jiaqi had just come out of the ancestral hall not long ago.
"You are so miserable."
Xie Jiaqi sat opposite Su Changle with a slumped head, not even wanting to look at the food on the table.
"What's wrong with you? It's not the first time you've closed the ancestral hall. Why do you care so much this time?" Su Changle felt that something was wrong with Xie Jiaqi.
Xie Jiaqi shook his head. Her depression today obviously had nothing to do with her fight yesterday.
Su Changle pinched a piece of pastry and waited quietly.
Xie Jiaqi has always been someone who can't hold back her words. Sure enough, after a while, she started talking to herself: "What should I do? It's my birthday next month."
"Isn't it good to celebrate your birthday?"
"Not good, this is eighteen years old!" Xie Jiaqi let out a long sigh, "An eighteen-year-old kidnapped by a marriage contract is destined to be undesirable."
"Oh, right!" Su Changle then remembered that her mother had mentioned it yesterday but she hadn't remembered it yet.
"Actually... I feel like my brother is also in such a miserable state."
"Then here you go, do you want it?" Xie Jiaqi changed his position and lay on the table.
"I don't want it." Su Changle said simply.
"Forget it, let's leave it like this, life..." Xie Jiaqi looked up to the sky and sighed.
"To be honest, although my brother is not very good, my mother-in-law is definitely very good! When I came back last night, my mother said that if Fu Qing messes with you again next time, she will take action herself!"
"Really?" Xie Jiaqi blinked.
"Really." Su Changle was very sure.
"Oh, by the way!" Xie Jiaqi struggled to get up, "When I came back yesterday, I heard from my brother that there seemed to be an activity to write the word "blessing" today, and all the candidates were there."
"Then Jiang Shen will also go?"
When Jiang Shen was mentioned, Su Changle's eyes lit up.
Saying this made her energetic!
--
As the New Year is approaching, some activities are being held everywhere in Jinling City. Not only are there many gatherings among the big families, but also the descendants who have come from other places without relatives will also find some reasons to be lively.
Writing blessing characters is also one of the traditional activities.
The candidates wrote blessing characters and gave them to the people. Those who have children at home will be happy with the scholars, so that their children can be successful in the future.
Su Changle hurriedly left Xie's Mansion and hurried to Fan Chun Tower in the city.
This is a very large restaurant in Jinling. Fan Chunlou held the event in his own place in order to attract more customers.
Moreover, the Spring Examination will be held after the new year.
If any of these people are in high school, they might add color to the building in the future!
When Su Changle arrived, many tables had been set up at the entrance of Fan Chunlou, red paper had been cut into square shapes, and pens and ink had been prepared.
There were already people around.
"Azhu, go look for Jiang Shen first." Su Changle felt that there were too many people. If Jiang Shen wasn't here, she wouldn't want to rush in rashly.
Azhu nodded and got out of the car first. Su Changle's carriage stopped outside the street.
She opened the curtain and looked at the people coming and going outside.
After a while, Azhu came back.
"Princess, I did not see Young Master Jiang Shen."
"Then maybe she didn't come..." Su Changle was still a little disappointed. It was hard for her to go out so early, and there were so many people. Su Changle opened the curtain and got out of the car, "Come on, let's go shopping."
Azhu nodded and followed Su Changle.
Su Changle really likes shopping in the market. Folk things can be refurbished very quickly. Although they are not as expensive as those in the palace, they are still very fresh.
I haven't been here for half a month, but there are many interesting things appearing in the market.
Su Changle was shopping and soon sold a lot of things.
She had a candied haws in her mouth. Before she left, she still didn't give up and went to Fan Chun Tower to see if Jiang Shen was here.
She really wants a copy of the blessing character written by Jiang Shen...
Su Changle stood in the outer circle, obediently eating the candied haws like a cute jade doll.
She took a bite, well... no Jiang Shen.
She took another bite, well... still no Jiang Shen.
She continued to eat.
Well?
There were fingers tapping her back.
Just a few gentle words, accompanied by a voice: "Who is the princess waiting for here?"
Su Changle turned around and saw the person coming behind him, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Jiang Shen!"
She was biting a candied haws of sugar haws in her mouth, her speech was unclear, and there were sugar stains on the corners of her mouth.
Jiang Shen's eyes darkened, and he unconsciously stretched out his hand to wipe away the candy stains from the corner of her mouth.
