"Xu Sanxiao's words are really interesting. Did I let Xu Yurong push me into the water? I have seen many shameless people, but this is the first time I have seen someone like Xu Sanxiao!" Su Xinyi died at the hands of this family in her previous life. In this life, she did not plan to take the initiative to seek revenge on them, but she could not blame her for bumping into them.

Xu Yuru was so rudely retorted by Su Xinyi that her face was extremely ugly. She immediately said, "My sister didn't mean it, and she has come to apologize to you. What else do you want?"

"What you said is really ridiculous. Your family knows whether your sister did it on purpose or not. It is true that she came to apologize. Our Su family accepted the apology. I didn't seek revenge on your family, didn't ruin your family's reputation, and didn't stop your family from talking about marriage. So what do you want to say today? Whether your daughter can get married or not, you don't ask your family's reasons but ask me. I can't do anything about it. After all, I am not like Miss Xu Da who can meet a hero to save her when she falls into the pond, nor am I like Miss Xu Er who is determined and unshakable. If Miss Xu San has difficulty in getting married, she might as well ask the two sisters for advice."

Xu Yuru's hands tightened slightly when she heard this. How did Su Xinyi know about Xu Yuqian's affairs?

Their family kept this matter very secret, just to fear that the matter would spread out and the family's remaining reputation would be gone.

Su Xinyi looked at Xu Yuru's expression. With such ability, she was chosen by the Queen to be a pawn. She was not even good enough for one round.

In her previous life, her life was ruined because of Xu Yurong, so she paid close attention to the affairs of Anding Marquis' Mansion. Xu Yuqian, the second daughter of the Xu family, had an affair with the prince of Pingnan, Yan Pingyi, and got pregnant before marriage. The Anding Marquis' Mansion was naturally happy with this marriage, but the Pingnan Palace had long been an empty shell. The Princess of Pingnan always wanted her son to marry a daughter-in-law who could help the family, so she had always refused to agree to this marriage.

Later, Xu Yuqian's belly could not be concealed if she didn't get married. There was really no way she could go to the Pingnan Palace with her belly and make a scene. The Princess of Pingnan had to pinch her nose and recognize this marriage.

In the previous life, this matter made a big fuss. Xu Yurong's good reputation like a fake Bodhisattva was almost dragged down by her sister. Su Xinyi calculated that the time should be recently. She tried to speak and she was really guessed.

Xu Yuru stared at Su Xinyi with a pair of eyes. She looked calm, but her heart was full of turmoil. She didn't dare to speak again. If Su Xinyi really knew something and told the truth in front of so many people, her mother would beat her to death when she got home!

In the confrontation between Su Xinyi and Xu Yuru, others saw that Xu Yuru had stopped fighting, and they knew that what the Yong'an County Lord said before was probably true, so the marriage of the eldest girl of the Xu family almost became a laughing stock in the capital. Is the marriage of the second girl of the Xu family settled?

Which family is it? Why is there no news at all?

But looking at the posture of the third girl of Xu, this marriage seems to have another hidden story.

The hall, which was bustling just now, suddenly became quiet at this moment. The girls looked at each other, their eyes flying around, trying to find someone who knew the inside story to inquire.

At this moment, the palace servants outside shouted, "The Queen is here! The Imperial Concubine is here! The Concubine Xian is here! The Concubine Ming is here!"

All the ladies stood up to greet them. Su Xinyi squatted down to salute, and saw the Queen in a phoenix robe slowly passing in front of her, followed by Concubine Li and the other three.

The Queen sat on the throne in the middle, Concubine Li sat on the left side of the Queen's throne, and Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming sat on the right.

After the Queen sat down, she smiled and said slowly, "Everyone stand up, everyone sit down."

Everyone thanked the Queen and sat down. Su Xinyi sat down next to Li Qingyi, staring at her, not looking at the Queen and the ladies, sitting there quietly.

Although Su Xinyi was dressed in plain clothes today, she looked like the sun reflecting on the snow, and she seemed to be a clear stream among the beauties in the room, and she stood out.

Concubine Li's beautiful eyes lingered, and she took a look and sighed in her heart.

Not only Li Guifei looked at Su Xinyi, but Qi Xianfei and Ruan Mingfei also fell on Su Xinyi at first sight. There were too many rumors about this Yong'an County Lady, and there was nothing new in the deep palace. Seeing her at this time, they couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

If they didn't know that Yong'an County Lady was brought back from the countryside, her posture and demeanor would be no different from other famous ladies in the palace. In fact, because she practiced martial arts, her shoulders and back were straighter, which made her outstanding temperament suppress her delicate face. It is not a good thing for a woman to be too gorgeous. Su Xinyi's cold temperament neutralized the impact of her beauty.

Su Xinyi's senses were sharp, so how could she not notice the concubines on the high platform looking at her, but she seemed not to notice and still sat there.

The queen's eyes also swept over Su Xinyi lightly, and she looked away in just a moment. She looked at everyone with a perfect smile on her face and said: "You all know why you came to the palace. Selecting a concubine for the prince is a big deal. Your Majesty and I will naturally pick out a lady with both virtue and beauty, and outstanding talent from you, so that she can live in harmony with the prince in the future and be a couple..."

The queen always speaks in a high-sounding manner. Su Xinyi heard the words "virtue and beauty, outstanding talent" and knew that the queen was secretly making indirect accusations. Everyone in the palace knew that she grew up in the countryside.

Su Xinyi didn't care. As long as the queen didn't deliberately embarrass her by name, she wouldn't be stupid enough to take the initiative to confront the queen.

Anyway, she is just here to go through the motions. It is best for everyone to be polite to each other. If the queen really keeps targeting her, she will not keep pretending to be deaf and mute and swallow her anger.

There are girls in the palace who are determined to win the position of Crown Princess. At this time, they couldn't help but smile when they heard the Queen's words. None of them, ladies from famous families, have been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since they were young. They dare not say that they have everything, and they can always get it. The talent of taking action.

Xu Yuru also felt a little more relaxed at this time. If there was really a competition, Su Xinyi, a country girl, would just be waiting to make a fool of herself.

After the queen finished speaking, the palace maids came into the palace to deliver delicacies like flowing water. The beautiful music played by musicians and orchestras slowly sounded in the palace. Su Xinyi was not interested in these extravagant banquets and ate slowly with his head lowered. with the food on the plate.

Li Qingyi watched from the side and suddenly smiled and said: "The Yong'an County Lord eats so deliciously, I can even eat a few more mouthfuls."

After hearing this, Shu Siyang slowly spoke with an unfriendly smile: "Miss Li, Yong'an County Lord grew up in the countryside. This is the first time for a palace banquet. However, Yong'an County Lord, no matter how hard things are, It’s good or bad to eat too much. How can a woman be greedy?”

Su Xinyi knew that Shu Siyang felt that the queen did not dare to criticize her like before, so she laughed at her so brazenly.

She swallowed the food in her mouth slowly, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips slowly, and then raised her eyes to look at Shu Siyang, "Miss Shu grew up in a prosperous and prosperous place, surrounded by rich clothes, and delicacies from the mountains and seas. , delicious food is just an ordinary thing for you, but I am different. I used to be the most ordinary village girl in the village. Farming is not easy for country people, and every grain of rice and every bite of food is extremely precious. , every common person will not waste a mouthful of food. We country people are not as generous as Miss Shu. A porridge and a meal are hard-earned, so I naturally cherish it. Unexpectedly, this move was ridiculed by Miss Shu, which really made me Surprised."

Shu Siyang exposed Su Xinyi in front of everyone, and implicitly called her a village girl who had never seen the world. However, Su Xinyi did not feel that her identity as a village girl was really shameful, so she simply accepted it openly. In turn, he ridiculed Shu Siyang for being extravagant and wasteful. Not only did he not think about his own faults, he was also proud of it.

How could Shu Siyang care about a little food? Hearing Su Xinyi's words, he felt even more contemptuous of her for coming from the countryside. Just as he was about to say a few more words, he heard his aunt say: "Okay, Siyang, I know you are here." It’s a good intention, but you have to say good things carefully, remember?”

Nowadays, His Majesty attaches great importance to agriculture and suppresses commerce, attaches great importance to the people, and advocates frugality. If this word reaches His Majesty's ears, although it is not a big deal, it is not a good thing at all.

This Su Xinyi is indeed cunning!

Shu Siyang immediately smiled sweetly and acted coquettishly towards the queen, "Auntie, I was just joking with Yong'an County Lord. County Lord, do you think so?"

Shu Siyang tilted his head slightly and looked at Su Xinyi, with a sweet smile still on his face, as if he looked innocent and ignorant of the world.

Su Xinyi sneered in her heart, but said: "It turns out that Miss Shu was joking, but Xinyi is so stupid that she didn't realize it."

You say one is one and two is two. Who gives you the confidence?

She doesn't believe this evil!

The smile on Shu Siyang's face froze. He couldn't believe his ears. This Su Xinyi actually dared to be so arrogant in front of the queen?

But it's not a bad thing to think about it. Su Xinyi is so rude, she shouldn't think about the position of the crown princess.

Concubine Li's eyes flashed, and she felt that this Su Xinyi was really interesting. This bone was so hard that her Li family's teeth were shattered. Now that she was so defiant to Shu Siyang and did not give the queen face, she immediately smiled and said: " Siyang, you are joking a bit too much. It is precisely because the Lord of Yongan County comes from the people that he knows how difficult it is for the people. We should listen to her words carefully. After all, this is the voice of the people. "

What a voice of the common people. It sounds like Concubine Li is speaking for Su Xinyi, but if you take a closer look, it doesn't sound that way.

Su Xinyi lowered her head slightly, pretending not to understand the meaning of Concubine Li's words. She just felt bored and looked forward to the end of the banquet.

It would be much better to go back and see Pei Nianwei's coffin face than to listen to these ghost screams here.

But when I think of Pei Nianwei, she was quite impressive when she was in Yangde Palace, but now she looks much more well-behaved in this Xianju Palace.

It seems that this girl Pei not only has a coffin face, but is also quite skilled in the art of changing faces.

When the queen heard what Concubine Li said, she looked slightly displeased and said nonchalantly: "Concubine Li, what can children know? These little girls are all pampered by their families. How can they understand how the people live? You are too much. Too demanding."

After hearing the Queen's words, Concubine Li smiled lightly and said, "The Queen is right, but she is about to reach the age of engagement, and she must learn what she needs to learn, so as not to make her laugh in the future, don't you think so?"

The Queen glanced sideways at Concubine Li, and ignored her words. Instead, she turned to look at Su Xinyi, "I heard that Miss Su is very skilled in martial arts, how about she perform it here for everyone?"

The smile on Su Xinyi's face suddenly disappeared. If she was asked to perform for everyone, was she treating her as an actor?

Wang Yingyao and Jiang Ruolan's expressions changed instantly. The Queen's words were not good-natured. If Xin Yi really did it, others would probably make fun of her as an actor when mentioned in the future. If she didn't do it, wouldn't it be against the Queen? Phoenix life?

Zhu Chanyi's expression wasn't very good either, and she frowned slightly, but it was really difficult to take this move. She didn't know how to rescue Su Xinyi at the moment.

"Empress, I learn the art of hunting. There is no prey in the palace. How are you going to perform?" Su Xinyi said with a humble and pleasant look.

Everyone saw that Princess Yong'an was modest, but her words were full of murderous intent, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Princess Yong'an, you are so bold that you dare to talk to the queen like this. Why don't you apologize quickly!" Guan Rong, the head woman beside the queen, immediately scolded.

Su Xinyi is no stranger to Fang Rong. She is the queen's lackey. She will bite anyone she asks her to bite!

"I don't know what I said is wrong? Every word I said is true. There is no falsehood. How can a martial artist take action easily? If the blade passes by carelessly, blood will splash on the spot. Besides, we hunters have always adhered to the principle of going into the mountains to hunt, and the knife will not return without blood!" Su Xinyi could not look directly at the queen, but she was not polite to Fang Rong. The murderous aura in her eyes suddenly appeared, and the other party's face turned pale instantly.

The sword is out of the sheath, and there will be no return without blood!

Zhu Chanyi's blood boiled with these words. She immediately stood up and looked at Su Xinyi and said, "That's right. My grandfather often said that martial artists should be courageous and should not be timid when facing the enemy. If you are afraid, it's all over. Thinking carefully, grandfather's words are the same as the county lady's words that the sword is out of the sheath, and there will be no return without blood. If grandfather heard the county lady's words, he would definitely applaud!"

Zhu Chanyi's words were clever. She didn't refute the queen's intention, but gave Su Xinyi a way out. She brought up her grandfather because he had made many military achievements, and even the queen couldn't easily disrespect him. She also used her grandfather's words to prove that Su Xinyi's words were true, which was a little support for her.

Su Xinyi was quite surprised. She didn't expect Zhu Chanyi to stand up, so she smiled at her, but she didn't take this opportunity to pursue the queen and stop when she saw the good.

The queen frowned slightly. She didn't care about Su Xinyi. If it wasn't for Su Chun, what would she be!

But Duke Zheng was a senior official who was still alive. Even His Majesty always treated him with courtesy. The queen naturally couldn't be rude to him. She could only smile and said, "Since that's the case, then sit down."

Concubine Qi smiled and said, "There are often sword dances in the palace, but I haven't seen any surprises."

This was to give the queen a way out.

Concubine Li smiled and said, "Concubine Xian, you also said it was a sword dance. How can a sword dance be compared with the ability of Princess Yong'an to make a living? The two cannot be compared."

In the hall, the ladies had different thoughts. No one expected things to develop like this. They made various preparations and thought they could show off their skills at the dinner and compose poems and songs. Who knew that the queen would let Princess Yong'an perform, and they didn't expect that Princess Yong'an would directly refuse.

Now that Concubine Xian and Concubine Li were arguing, how could these ladies have the energy to perform any talents? They all wanted to shrink their necks and pretend that they didn't exist.

"It's getting late, let's have dinner. The menu for today's dinner was carefully selected by the Queen. Don't let the Queen down." Concubine Ruan Ming smiled and looked at everyone and said, "Don't be stunned, play a cheerful tune."

The music sounded again, covering up the previous disputes.

Su Xinyi sat down again and started to eat slowly, regardless of the eyes of the people around her. She just lowered her head and ate her own.

She thought the Queen could be more patient, but she didn't expect that she couldn't be so stable so soon. This was not something she would do. There must be a reason.

Is it because the matter of the female servant Zhang was exposed?

Did Prince Rong find out so quickly?

If so, Su Xinyi can eat an extra bowl of rice tonight!

Li Qingyi ate the meal without any taste, but her eyes could not help looking at the people around her. She knew that Princess Yong'an was bold, but she didn't expect it to be so bold!

Moreover, Princess Yong'an did not act like a petty country girl. Although her words and deeds seemed rough, if you think about it carefully, every word she said was on the verge of the Queen's anger, which was a bit scary.

Could it be that the mountains and rivers in the countryside are so nourishing?

How could Li Qingyi be in the mood to eat? Her mind was full of what happened just now. She even walked through it again in her mind.

There were other arrangements for the dinner, but it was hastily ended because of this accident. After the meal, the Queen said a few polite words to everyone and then dispersed.

At this time, the sky outside was completely dark. Su Xinyi put on the cloak brought by Ran Su and walked out of the palace. Wang Yingyao and Jiang Ruolan were waiting for her. When they saw her coming out, they immediately dragged her away.

Su Xinyi followed the two and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Yingyao said, "You should leave this place quickly. We were scared to death before, but we can't help. Don't be so reckless in the future. After all, she is the Queen. Hey, you should think about what to do next. I'm afraid that she will do something secretly."

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "It's okay. What is coming will always come. You can't hide from it. You go first. I'll go to Miss Zhu to thank her."

Su Xinyi turned and walked towards Zhu Chanyi. Wang Yingyao looked at Jiang Ruolan. The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

The Queen's reputation has always been good. The two of them didn't expect that the Queen would target Xinyi so much today. What's going on?

Did Xinyi offend the Queen in some way?

Su Xinyi strode to Zhu Chanyi, bowed to her and smiled, "Thank you Miss Zhu for your kind words and help today."

Before Zhu Chanyi could speak, Zhao Yeqiu said first: "County Lord, don't be so polite. Your words make people feel comfortable. You are right. That is to say, the few of us who don't have Chanyi to stand up and stand up, otherwise we all have to stand up." Speak for you.”

Zhao Yeqiu's voice was as gentle as an oriole's, but at this moment, his words were a bit harsh.

The queen asked Su Xinyi to perform not only to embarrass her, but also to embarrass them, the daughters of military commanders!

It's just that their elders don't have the prestige of Zhu Guogong. If they stand up, not only will they not be able to help, but they are afraid that they will be hindered, so they hold back.

"That's right, County Lord, don't be polite. What you said is so heartwarming. After we leave the palace, we must get together and compete in the martial arts field." Guo Yunrong said.

Zhu Chanyi said at this time: "You saw it, don't be polite to us. Besides, you also know that although the water is directed at you, do we look good on our faces? The elders in our family have worked hard The purpose of practicing martial arts is to protect our country, not to entertain others!"

Su Xinyi felt warm and hot in her heart, so she looked at everyone and said, "In this case, don't call me the county master. Just call me by my name from now on. From today on, we will be friends."

"good."

"good."

Several people couldn't help but smile at each other, and the laughter spread faintly, which actually caused the people around to look here.

Zhu Chanyi said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back first."

Several people walked together, and after walking a few steps, they saw Wang Yingyao and Jiang Ruolan waiting in front. Su Xinyi solemnly introduced them to their new friends.

The civil servants and military generals had always been at odds with each other, and Wang Yingyao and Jiang Ruolan were uncomfortable walking with them, so they separated after arriving at Yangde Palace.

Zhu Chanyi stopped Su Xinyi, and the two of them walked aside to talk while avoiding others.

"I always feel that the Queen is treating you differently, Xin Yi, you have to be more careful." Zhu Chanyi whispered, "Do you think you should send a letter to your family to let them know? If something really happens, your family will I'd rather deal with it for you. Don't be too busy refusing. After all, we'll be in the palace for at least ten days or half a month. Who knows what will happen for such a long time."

Su Xinyi could see that Zhu Chanyi was really worried about her, so she said, "I know it well, Chanyi, you don't have to worry. I know why. Don't worry, I won't give them a chance."

Zhu Chanyi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "If you say this, I feel at ease. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest. I don't know what to do tomorrow."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Okay, you should go to bed early and we'll see you tomorrow."

Everyone in Yangde Palace was busy washing up. In their respective palaces, they couldn't help but talk about what happened today. The name Su Xinyi was really remembered by everyone.

On the other side of Shaoyang Courtyard, Yan Junchu had a serious look on his face after hearing what Yang Jin said. After a while, he smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "Have someone send the news to King Rong. King Rong is not checking today's carriage." What's wrong? Give him a hand and let him know the truth as soon as possible."

Yang Jin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I will do it now. However, Your Highness, there seems to be some talent competition at Yangde Palace tomorrow. I'm afraid that Miss Six will not be able to compete with these ladies in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Isn't this obvious? Is it embarrassing? Do you want to find a way?"

The Tatar soldiers have been watching with eager eyes. These people are still addicted to pleasure and causing trouble over nothing, which is really annoying.
