The next day, the sky was fine and the spring breeze was gentle.
Several of Ye Liyuan's concubines dined happily in the Qionglin Banquet Hall. Bai Qiqian smiled slightly and stepped into the hall.
Suddenly, all eyes in the room fell on her. Bai Qiqian didn't take it seriously. She walked over and found a table and chair to sit down. The look on Yujin's side was unnatural, and more
She was worried that Bai Qiqian would be bullied by the ladies.
"Last night, didn't a maid shout that she was dead? Why is she standing here so well now?" The woman in pink clothes covered her mouth and smiled, with a hint of pride in her eyebrows.
Her name is Nishang, she has long sleeves and is good at dancing, and is quite popular with Ye Liyuan.
The woman wearing apricot clothes on the side looked at Bai Qiqian with disgust, and said softly: "Bad luck."
Bai Qiqian always had a faint smile on his face, scanning the crowd.
"Yunran, this unlucky woman is not dead. She is really lucky." Nishang said sarcastically.
"No matter how hard your life is, what can you do? It's better to be divorced by the prince." Yun Ran said lightly, with a smile on his lips, but there was jealousy and resentment in his eyes, "The position of princess is not Lin Huang'er.
What’s in the bag.”
"With Lin Huang'er here, we sisters may have become decorations in this palace." Nishang said with a smile.
"Look what the sisters are saying. As a concubine, Lin Huang'er is willing to serve tea to us concubines today. I guess she is also a virtuous and virtuous master, and she will definitely serve the prince with us.
."
"Sister Hongluan, you are the only one with a simple mind to think this way." Yunran took a sip of tea and thought to himself, it's just pretending.
"By the way, why don't you see sister Qiu Jin?"
"I guess I didn't come because I was afraid of being aroused by the loving look between the prince and Lin Huang'er." Nishang smiled even more happily, "Sister Qiu Jin is not as open-minded as the former princess."
Nishang deliberately emphasized the word "front".
All the concubines laughed loudly again, and the maid who followed Nishang said sarcastically: "Madam, what you said is absolutely true. The former princess came to ask for a sip of tea today. Someone offered tea to Sister Qiu Jin, but Sister Qiu Jin
I don’t want to come.”
Bai Qiqian's eyes were cold, and her whole body exuded an evil aura, but the smile on her face did not diminish by half.
Yun Ran glanced at Bai Qiqian, paused and said, "Sisters, we'd better just sit here and wait for the concubine."
Hong Luan said casually: "I've been waiting for more than half an hour. It took a long time for the concubine to wash herself."
Nishang said nonchalantly: "Haha, the prince's pampering must be reasonable." She glanced at Bai Qiqian and laughed again, "Of course, when it comes to the unreasonable ones, except for the former princess, I
I really can’t find anyone else.”
Hong Luan smiled faintly: "The prince and his concubine are here."
Bai Qiqian was still sitting lazily on the chair, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.
When Ye Liyuan saw her, his eyes were a little surprised.
There was a moment of panic in Lin Huang'er's eyes, and then a sweet smile appeared on her face: "Huang'er is late today, I want to apologize to all my sisters." After saying that, he leaned down slightly.
Several concubines hurriedly returned the favor: "My sister said this, it is really embarrassing for my sisters."
After Ye Liyuan took his seat, all the concubines also followed suit. Bai Qiqian's lips seemed to be smiling, but he also found a chair and sat down.
Nishang glanced at Bai Qiqian with disdain and said sarcastically: "Sister, don't be offended, some people came uninvited today."
Bai Qiqian smiled calmly: "I am here today as the princess, and the prince will not blame me." Bai Qiqian glanced at everyone, admiring their different looks.
"Huang'er, we're going to go swimming in the lake later." Ye Liyuan said dotingly.
Lin Huanger's face turned red, she looked at Ye Liyuan shyly and happily, and nodded gently. The maid behind her brought a gold plate with tea on it.
Lin Huang'er first served tea to Ye Liyuan with a soft and charming voice: "Yuan, it is Huang'er's blessing to be loved by you in this life."
Ye Liyuan took the teacup, pursed his lips and drank, his face full of doting.
However, when serving tea to the other concubines, Lin Huang'er was a little reluctant. She was the apple of the bachelor's eye and Ye Liyuan's concubine. She had a noble status, but now she had to give tea to several small concubines.
Concubine Ji served tea, feeling a little aggrieved.
Originally, she just mentioned it in front of Ye Liyuan, saying that she had just entered the mansion and should go visit some sisters.
Ye Liyuan looked at her for a long time and nodded in response.
When serving tea to Yun Ran, Lin Huang'er pretended to be careless, shook her hand, and the tea in her hand splashed on Yun Ran. She suddenly panicked, and said a little apologetically: "Sister, it's all Huang'er's fault.
"
Yunran's face looked very ugly, and he forced a smile and said: "Sister, it's okay."
"Oh, my sister's new clothes are all stained with tea. On the day I got married, the Queen Mother gave me a few pieces of cloud clothes, so I took one to make new clothes for my sister."
Yunran's face could be as ugly as it was, but because Ye Liyuan's face was not easy to show off, he could only vent his anger on his maid: "Luzhu, why don't you come over and wipe it for me quickly?"
?”
Immediately afterwards, Lin Huanger served tea to Nishang.
Nishang smiled seductively, turned her head slightly, and said to the maid next to her: "Hua Fan, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you help me take the tea brought by sister Huang'er?"
She actually asked a maid to take the tea, which was so disrespectful to her.
Seeing the displeasure on Lin Huanger's face, Nishang smiled like a flower: "Sister, I accidentally sprained my wrist while practicing dancing a few days ago. I couldn't use my hand very well, so I had to ask the maid to help take my sister over.
It’s better for me not to blame my sister for the tea.”
Before Lin Huanger opened her mouth, Hong Luan said with a smile: "Look what Sister Nishang is saying. The concubine is such a virtuous, kind, gentle and elegant person, how can she blame her for such a trivial matter."
Nishang covered her mouth and smiled softly: "It's true that I worried too much. I'll make amends to sister Huang'er."
Bai Qiqian always had a faint smile on her face, and she had a rough understanding of the three concubines Ye Liyuan. They were all acting masters, especially Hong Luan.
Bai Qiqian glanced at Hongluan meaningfully, and met Hongluan's searching eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Huanger walked up to Hongluan, handed over the tea in her hand, and said with a sweet smile: "Sister Hongluan, my sister is new to the house, and there are many puzzling things in the house. I will invite Sister Hongluan to you when the time comes.
Give me some advice, sister."
Hong Luan smiled lightly. She knew Lin Huang'er's purpose very clearly. She glanced at Bai Qiqian intentionally or unintentionally, and said softly: "Sister Huang'er, the princess didn't even drink the tea you served.
How dare I violate the etiquette?"
Lin Huanger was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Nishang said: "If sister Hongluan hadn't reminded me, I would have really forgotten that the princess is here."
Lin Huanger glanced at Ye Liyuan and saw that he was silent, so she reluctantly served tea to Bai Qiqian.
Bai Qiqian held the teacup in her hand, her eyes dim. She recalled that day, Ye Liyuan's wedding. She held the wine glass in her hand and drank the heart-breaking poisonous wine in one sip. She smiled slightly and poured the tea on the ground with disdain.
"You...you treat me like this...it's just..." Lin Huanger's beautiful little face was quite angry, with tears in her eyes. She turned around and threw herself into Ye Liyuan's arms, "Yuan...
Look at her, she actually treats me like this... wu wu..."
Yu Jin behind Bai Qiqian looked a little strange, looking at her worriedly.
Ye Liyuan glanced sideways at Bai Qiqian, with some impatience on his brows.
Yunran said in a sharp voice: "On that day when sister Huang'er got married, the princess was unwilling to drink the wedding wine. Unexpectedly, the princess was unwilling to drink even a cup of tea today."
Bai Qiqian smiled: "I accidentally slipped my hand, which hurt sister Huang'er's true feelings. If sister Huang'er doesn't mind, why not offer another cup of tea to this princess?"
"You..." Lin Huanger was so angry that she was shaking all over, "Your Highness..."
"Fuyao, have you had enough trouble?" Ye Liyuan looked cold and his eyes were as cold as ice, "You are already my concubine. Since you are well, you will leave the palace today."
"Haha... My concubine..." Bai Qiqian tasted the word carefully. The smile on her lips became deeper and deeper, and the chill in her eyes became deeper and deeper. She suddenly looked straight at Ye Liyuan and said softly.
, “What if I don’t go to court?”
"Do you also want to disobey the prince?" Nishang said in a nonchalant manner, her eyes concealing disdain.
"Don't think I'm giving you three points. You really think of yourself as a person. Let me tell you, you, Princess Fuyao, are nothing at all." Yun Ran said coldly, "Except for a title, you have nothing."
It is well known that Bai Qiqian is in a difficult situation.
In this world, not all relatives of the emperor will be respected.
People who are born into wealth and have a distinguished family background, what kind of stunning beauty do they want? They choose their first wives based on their status and background. What they pursue in the world of fame and fortune is always the hot power and money.
Both of her parents were dead, so she only had the honorific title of Princess Fuyao. In fact, this honorific title was just a prestige given to her by the royal family. Apart from saying it to sound nice, it had no practical importance at all. She was even called a young lady from a wealthy family.
Nothing compares to it.
A young lady from a wealthy family can still be kept in a boudoir, at least she will have enough food and clothing.
In the past, Bai Qiqian had to plan how to spend his monthly salary to support his princess mansion.
This group of people only saw that she was humble and cowardly, so they humiliated her like this. What's more, their humiliation of her was coupled with Ye Liyuan's connivance.
Bai Qiqian looked at Ye Liyuan, her smile did not diminish, but what she said was loud and clear: "Except for a title, I really have nothing. But no matter how bad the princess is, she is also the princess canonized by the Holy Emperor today."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several concubines immediately changed.
