Originally, her current life is as simple as two points on the same line, except that she goes out to do market research and prepare for business in Prince Zhi's mansion, and occasionally goes to Jishantang. Although they wore women's clothes in Prince Zhi's mansion, there were only four masters and servants, no matter how well they dressed, no one appreciated them. As for going out of the house, Xiao Qingling will definitely disguise herself as a man, it is really useless for her to ask for these things.
Most importantly, these things are too expensive. Can there be a pie in the sky? The well-behaved Shen Mobai will buy her an outfit? If there is nothing to show courteousness, it is either adultery or robbery, it is better for her to stay away from Shen Mobai's sugar-coated bullets.
Seeing Xiao Qingling's calm and casual face, Uncle Shen was a little dazed, didn't he say that the princess is the most greedy for money? Why is it that the prince gave her something for the first time and the princess didn't want it? These are all custom-made items from the best tailors and jewelry stores in the imperial city.
"The prince said that tomorrow's palace banquet will be held exclusively for him and the princess, and the princess should dress up so as not to embarrass Prince Zhi's residence."
Think she was ashamed before! It's just a palace banquet, not a beauty contest. Forget it, Shen Mobai already had something to hold in Shen Mobai's hands, and she had to go for the sake of those poor children and Young Master Feng, so let's just obey, anyway, this face will have to be seen sooner or later.
"Okay, then keep it! I will wear it tomorrow!"
On the same day, Prince Jun's Mansion.
With a click, the door of the firewood room opened, and a dazzling light came in. Xiao Yunling subconsciously covered his squinted eyes with his palm.
After seeing clearly that it was Shen Mingxuan standing in front of her, she was taken aback for a moment, and then her face showed ecstasy, she rushed forward and blurted out: "My lord? Have you come to see me? Do you remember me?"
Stretching out a finger to pick up Xiao Yunling's chin, Shen Mingxuan sized her up carefully, the corners of his lips curled up, and said, "It's not bad, it's not like I can't see people!"
Xiao Yunling was stunned, and he said again: "Tonight, take a good wash, and tomorrow you will enter the palace with me, and make good use of the strengths of the first talented woman in your imperial city. As long as you don't embarrass me, after you come back, I will let you go to the palace. How about you move back to Lanjiao Pavilion?"
"My lord?" Xiao Qingling was overwhelmed by the flattery, and there was a twinkle in her eyes.
"Before I was too harsh on you, it was my king's fault!" Smiling gently at her, Shen Mingxuan said: "After all, you are also my king's side concubine!"
"However!" The conversation changed, and the feminine handsome face immediately darkened: "Whether you want to regain my king's favor or not depends on your own performance."
"Think, think!" Xiao Yunling nodded hastily: "What the lord asks me to do, I will do. I only obey the lord's order!"
"real?"
"real!"
"Then if this Palace wants you to assassinate Concubine Xian tomorrow, would you be willing?"
"Huh?" Xiao Yunling was stunned.
Assassinate the concubine Xian? Assassinate the eldest sister? Prince Jun asked her to enter the palace tomorrow to assassinate the elder sister?
"What? I just swore to the king just now, are you afraid now?"
"My lord, my lord!" Being forced back step by step by Shen Mingxuan, Xiao Yunling was terrified. It wasn't until he retreated to the corner and pressed his back against the wall that he gritted his teeth and said, "What does the lord want me to do?"
A flash of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and immediately, he patted Xiao Yunling's cheek with satisfaction, and Shen Mingxuan said with a smile: "Okay, okay! It's finally worthwhile for me to marry you and love you forever!"
Not at all disgusted that Xiao Yunling had been imprisoned in the firewood room for more than a month, it was dirty and smelly, Shen Mingxuan took her into his arms, "I am joking with you! The virtuous concubine has no grievances with this king, how could this king let you go?" Assassinate her? What's more, she is still the emperor's favorite concubine, and you and I still call her mother concubine, how could I ask you to do such a treasonous thing?"
Xiao Yunling breathed a sigh of relief, and heard Shen Mingxuan say again: "Tomorrow, the royal father will hold a wedding celebration banquet for Shen Mobai and Xiao Qingling in the palace. This king has already found out the news. Shen Mobai claimed to be ill and was absent, so only Xiao Qingling went alone. Yan, do you know what to do?"
Xiao Yunling asked suspiciously: "My lord, do you want it?"
His complexion instantly became gloomy, Shen Mingxuan gritted his teeth and said, "After entering the palace tomorrow, you will be like this"
On the second day, after breakfast, Princess Tianzheng came to Prince Zhi's mansion to pick him up in person.
Although she has met Xiao Qingling many times, seeing her come out, Princess Tianzheng still showed undisguised amazement in her eyes.
She knows Xiao Qingling's temperament best, the way she dresses up today must have something to do with Shen Mobai. A hidden worry flashed across her face quickly, Princess Tianzheng didn't say anything, she just pulled Xiao Qingling to sit beside her, and ordered the coachman to set off.
The carriage drove past Dongzhimen and entered the palace without hindrance.
Palace banquets are generally held at night.This kind of thing has never had a good impression. Don't think that the ancients were really stupid wooden people. Any time traveler can get along well in that big cage. Judging from the experience of participating in the flower viewing banquet last time, she felt that her IQ was not suitable for playing palace fights at all. Once she came to the palace, she would die a lot of brain cells, and she probably lost several years of life.
But since she couldn't escape today, she wasn't afraid either. So when she walked in, she was the same as usual, still holding her head high, but her steps were slow.
As soon as she entered the arena, her eyes subconsciously swept to everyone. Although she knew it was impossible, she still took a chance and hoped to see Feng Qi's face among the guests.
Xiao Qingling was a little disappointed after sweeping around and did not see Feng Qi. However, she saw someone else who interested her.
This person is sitting at the first place on the right side of the main seat at the front desk. His skin is slightly dark and rough, and his facial features are very three-dimensional like sculptures. His whole body has the beauty of strength and speed. . In short, he is a very manly man.
At this moment, this man is the most presumptuous person in the entire Golden Palace, even Shen Haochen, the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, is currently sitting upright on the main seat, but this man is the only one who is sitting or lying down. He was lying in the arms of a beautiful woman beside him, but there was another beauty in his arms.
The well-endowed royal palace banquet was turned into an ecstasy by him surrounded by red and emerald green.
On an occasion like today, no matter who it is, it is inappropriate to make such an indecent move. However, for some reason, this man's behavior at this time not only did not make Xiao Qingling feel abrupt, but instead made her notice a strange and harmonious beauty. It was as if the devil king was reincarnated, surrounded by beauties who should have been around him.
No need to guess at all, Xiao Qingling knew that this person was her target today - Zhuo Yunteng, Prince of Qiang Rong Kingdom.
However, Xiao Qingling's eyes did not stay on Zhuo Yunteng, just like looking at other people, her eyes swept past him, and instantly took in everyone's expressions.
After seeing the expressions of these people clearly, an imperceptible sarcasm quickly flashed in her eyes. Sure enough, a handsome face is more important than anything else.
Xiao Qingling didn't believe that Shen Mobai couldn't achieve such a shocking effect, so why did he ask her to make such a high-profile appearance? To show off how beautiful his princess is? still?
There are always only two treatments for beautiful women, one is held in the palm of all men, and the other is disgusted and spurned by all women. Obviously, Xiao Qingling is currently enjoying these two kinds of treatment at the same time.
However, she never cared about these. After bowing to Shen Haochen and others, Xiao Qingling calmly walked to her seat and sat down.
The Shengxuan Dynasty held this kind of palace banquet. In addition to the emperor and princes, there were queen mothers, empresses, princesses and concubines on the stage. The courtiers sat at the same table with their family members offstage, and they seemed to be very happy. But if the husband is absent and the wife is the plenipotentiary representative, the palace people will reserve a seat in an inconspicuous place in the audience in advance, which is neither obtrusive nor neglectful. So Xiao Qingling is very satisfied with her position.
However, as soon as she sat down, Shen Mingxuan stood up and said, "Father! Prince Zhi's seat should be on the stage. Today, Prince Zhi can't come in person, so it's time for Princess Zhi to sit in his place. Now, Princess Zhi is running away Sitting below among the unknown officials, it makes people think that I, the Shengxuan Dynasty, do not understand the rules and bully others. My son begged the emperor to allow Zhiqin and Princess Zhi to sit back in the special seat of Zhiqin."
Sit in Shen Mobai's special seat? In the previous dynasty, there was indeed a situation where the royal family entertained the widow of a military general who died in battle with great military exploits, and gave him a seat at the front desk, but Shen Mobai had no military achievements, and secondly, she did not die in battle. Why did she go overboard and sit in his place?
Meeting the slightly worried eyes of Princess Tianzheng, Xiao Qingling understood instantly.
It turns out that Shen Mobai's regular position is next to Shen Mingxuan, no wonder the chief horse man is so impatient.
But so what if she sits over? It's not a single table, there is at least one meter between Shen Mingxuan and her, which is farther than the distance between the seats during the college entrance examination. Could it be that by sitting like that, Shen Mingxuan could gain a few more pounds?
To be honest, Xiao Qingling had seen many shameless criminals when she was a forensic doctor, but she had never seen one as shameless as Shen Mingxuan. Simply taking Shen Mingxuan's words as fart, Xiao Qingling didn't even bother to raise her eyelids. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
