Chapter 180 I’ll break your legs if you dare to leave
After Xin Ruyan finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing.
Murong Haitang was also amused by Xin Ruyan. She did not expect that Xin Ruyan would have such a free and bold side.
At this moment, Xile's voice came over, "What are you talking about? Are you laughing so happily?"
Seeing Xile's arrival, Murong Haitang immediately restrained herself. She was just a newly canonized princess and her status was quite special, so she would inevitably be nervous and cautious when facing Xile, the veteran eldest princess.
Xin Ruyan is much more calm. After all, Xin Ruyan has his own confidence.
"I've met Aunt Xile!" Xin Ruyan and Murong Haitang gave Xile a gift together.
"No need to be polite, I just came here to sit down when I had nothing to do." Xile walked into the pavilion minding his own business and sat down.
Xin Ruyan and Murong Haitang looked at each other and sat down.
Most of the time, Murong Haitang was a bystander, listening quietly and rarely taking the initiative to interrupt.
Xin Ruyan was very thoughtful. Even if he couldn't guess the purpose of Xi Le's visit today, he was chatting non-stop. From the looks of it, he seemed to be very happy with the guest of honor.
But after two cups of tea, Xile seemed a little tired.
Xin Ruyan squinted her eyes slightly, knowing that Xile was probably going to do something serious.
But what Xin Ruyan didn't expect was that Xile's opening would actually lead the topic to Murong Haitang.
"Haitang has been in the palace for some time, right? Are you living a comfortable life? Are the living expenses at the Ministry of Internal Affairs neglected? If so, just tell me and I will chop off their heads."
Hearing this, Murong Haitang did not dare to neglect, and said very flattered: "Auntie, I'm thinking of you. Everything is fine here for Haitang. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has given us plenty for food and clothing. Haitang is already satisfied and doesn't need anything else."
Xin Ruyan didn't say a word, she really wanted to see what Xile was going to say.
Xile chuckled and said: "Looking at your nervousness, I knew that you might not be used to living here. Many people in the palace still don't know about your canonization. After all, the canonization ceremony has not been held yet, so today, I specially
I went to ask the Queen’s sister-in-law to hold a banquet in the harem to cleanse you from the dust, so that everyone in the harem can get to know you.”
"Ah?" Murong Haitang was immediately shocked.
His whole body was even numb.
This is what she fears the most. Although she was born as a princess, she is still a princess from the previous dynasty.
Now, because of Wu Yuan's relationship, he can be canonized.
However, the identity of the former princess will not disappear. Even Murong Haitang can imagine that there will be many people inside and outside the palace who do not want to see her.
Originally, Murong Haitang's thoughts were very simple. It didn't matter if he didn't want to see her. As long as she lived in the East Palace, no one would dare to do anything to her.
But now that she was told that she was going to have a meal with the concubines and princesses in the harem, she felt a thousand dissatisfaction and even resistance.
Not to mention, the current queen is also there.
Rumor has it that the current queen is not a good one.
For a moment, Murong Haitang felt panicked. In such a big scene, if she was not careful, she, a humble princess, might be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell immediately.
In a hurry, Murong Haitang blurted out, "Aunt Xile, no need. In fact, I'm quite good now."
After saying this, Xile's face turned cold.
"What? Are you unhappy? Or do you mean that you don't take this princess and the queen seriously?"
Murong Haitang was startled and realized that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry.
Immediately, Murong Haitang was ready to kneel down and admit his mistake.
But suddenly Xin Ruyan pulled him aside.
After Xin Ruyan pulled Murong Haitang behind him, he came to Xile with a smile, took Xile's hand very affectionately, "Aunt, what you said, let alone Haitang, even I
I’m going to be scared.”
Xile couldn't help but give Xin Ruyan face, but she snorted, "You should also teach her more about the rules of the palace."
Xin Ruyan agreed, "Yes, yes, my aunt taught me that Ruyan was slacking off."
Murong Haitang felt even more regretful when she saw that she had also caused Xin Ruyan to suffer, but facing Xile, she had no choice. Now she could only pray that Xin Ruyan could find a way to postpone tonight's dinner.
But he saw that Xile didn't give Xin Ruyan this chance at all, and was the first to speak to block Xin Ruyan's persuasion.
Just listen to Xile say: "By the way, that girl Qiaoer is also here with you. Now that Mr. Zhuri, the emperor's master, is traveling, we must also be filial and take good care of the girl Qiaoer. Let's ask her to come over in the evening.
.”
Xin Ruyan was startled, and felt inexplicably that Xile's purpose in coming this time was not Murong Haitang, but Mo Qiaoer.
But why?
Xin Ruyan murmured in her heart.
Mo Qiaoer is the granddaughter of the emperor's master, and can be said to be half a princess. Because of her special status, she is also a frequent visitor in the harem and can come and go freely.
In addition, Mo Qiaoer has a lively personality, so he has a good relationship with everyone, at least on the surface.
However, Xin Ruyan's heart became heavier and heavier, "In the past, Mo Qiaoer did not pose a threat to anyone, and there was nothing special about him, but it is different now, because Mo Qiaoer is the nominal boss of Tianxia Family
ah."
Presumably by now, the news that Wu Yuan promised to spend five million silver taels in the court to help Da Wu tide over the difficulties has spread.
It's hard to guarantee that someone won't have a wrong idea.
"Auntie, that girl Qiaoer's personality is too out-of-touch. It's not like you don't know that on such an important occasion, it's better not to call her, otherwise it will offend the queen and ruin everyone's elegance."
Even in order to help Mo Qiaoer escape, Xin Ruyan took the initiative to say: "Auntie, please don't worry, Haitang and I will definitely go there in time to pay our respects to the Queen and all the concubines."
At this time, Murong Haitang also stood up, bowed slightly to Xile and said: "Aunt Xile, it was Haitang who was not sensible just now. Please rest assured, Aunt Xile, Haitang will definitely learn the rules and follow the Crown Princess."
Xin Ruyan secretly praised Murong Haitang's quick response. Murong Haitang must have noticed the clues.
But unfortunately, it seems that Xile also saw through the two people's thoughts.
"Hearing what you say, Auntie, I feel relieved. I have already conveyed the message. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
When Xin Ruyan and Murong Haitang saw this, they couldn't help but feel half relieved.
But just when they thought they had been fooled, Xi Le, who stood up to leave, said again: "Where is Qiao'er? What was the queen thinking when she talked about her? I just happened to take her to the queen's place to play, and let her
Call."
Xile's direct hit caught Xin Ruyan and Murong Haitang off guard, and they were stunned for a moment.
