Chapter 174 175: The other party is too thick-skinned
Song Yunzhao recalled that she had stumbled along the road since she ran for the election. She always wanted to eat other people's melons, but in the end she kept walking on the road of being eaten melons.
She intends to change the game this time, how can she keep being eaten by others?
"No, on the contrary, you let Anshun go to the intersection..." Song Yunzhao lowered his voice and ordered a few words, with a faint smile on his mouth, and his eyes were as bright as if they were dyed with fine golden light.
Xiangxue nodded, "Your servant will go now."
Song Yunzhao called Shi Zhu in again, and gave the same instructions. Although Shi Zhu disagreed a bit, she still carried it out in silence.
Wangyou Palace fell silent for a moment, and the gate of the palace was slowly closed, while the direction of the diagonal line was full of excitement.
Qin Xiyue had just greeted An Shutong and gave her a birthday gift, then withdrew from the crowd and did not continue to chat with her like everyone else.
Seeing that no one cared about her, she quietly left the hall, and asked Fangping who followed her, "How is the situation?"
"The gate of Wangyou Palace has been closed. A quarter of an hour ago, Song Zhaoyi's birthday gift was also delivered by the nanny." Fangping replied.
Qin Xiyue was taken aback, "Has the congratulatory gift been delivered?"
"Yes." Fangping didn't expect Song Zhaoyi to send the congratulatory gift so soon, and they didn't mean to be unwilling or want to demonstrate as they expected.
Thinking of this, Fangping carefully looked at her master, "Master, what should we do now?"
Qin Xiyue couldn't figure out what Song Yunzhao was thinking for a while, how could it be possible, with her jealous and domineering temperament, if she knew that the emperor would come to the banquet, she would definitely find a way to stop it.
She deliberately revealed the news before, just to want Song Yunzhao to make preparations in advance, but how could she close the gates of Wangyou Palace and send gifts early...
Qin Xiyue felt a little restless, looked at Fangping and asked, "Where is Concubine Zhuang?"
"Concubine Zhuang won't arrive so early. After all, it's just Miss An's birthday party." Fangping told the news that she had heard. If it was about the Empress Dowager, Concubine Zhuang would definitely arrive early.
But today is Miss An's birthday party, and Concubine Zhuang is willing to make arrangements for her and pave the way for her, which is already a great deal of face.
If Concubine Zhuang had to come here early to carry An Shutong's sedan chair today, Concubine Zhuang would definitely not do such a shameful thing.
Today, Concubine Zhuang will definitely be the last one to come.
Qin Xiyue was not surprised when she heard Fangping's words. She thought for a while and said, "Let people watch the movement of Wangyou Palace again."
She didn't believe that Song Yunzhao could really be so generous and indifferent.
Fang Ping came down, and was about to say something more, when she saw Concubine Lu and Concubine Han arriving together, she immediately swallowed back what she had said.
Qin Xiyue also saw Han Jinyi and Lu Zhixue. The matter of Yingchun has not yet been settled. It is not surprising that Han Jinyi appeared here, but what surprised her was that Lu Zhixue actually arrived.
Another unexpected thing.
Qin Xiyue suppressed the doubts in her heart, took the initiative to take a step forward, looked at the two and greeted them with a smile, "Concubine Han and Concubine Lu are here, and I just arrived too, it's a coincidence."
Lu Zhixue's face was expressionless and she didn't even mean to reply. If she wasn't afraid that Qin Xiyue would use her status to overwhelm others, she would have opened her mouth to ridicule.
She really didn't know how Qin Xiyue still had the face to say hello to herself. Did she forget to plan her affairs?
Besides, how could Qin Xiyue forget her temper? It can only be said that the other party is too thick-skinned.
Han Jinyi is lower than Qin Xiyue in terms of family background and status. At this time, she doesn't have the confidence to ignore Qin Wanyi like Lu Zhixue. She said with an overly serious smile, "I've seen Qin Wanyi. Since Wanyi has just arrived, why don't my concubines go in with you to congratulate Miss An."
Han Jinyi's eyes were sincere, and he stared at Qin Wanyi without blinking.
The smile on Qin Xiyue's face froze, and she squeezed out a smile and said, "I just said hello to Ms. An, you go in quickly."
Lu Zhixue couldn't help snorting, and muttered something, but Qin Xiyue pretended not to hear it.
Han Jinyi still had that shallow smile, "That concubine will not disturb Qin Wanyi."
Han Jinyi, Lu Zhixue, and Qin Xiyue passed by each other, and within a split second, Qin Xiyue heard Lu Zhixue's voice, "Oh, some people really know how to put on a show."
Qin Xiyue's face froze.
Han Jinyi gently tugged on Lu Zhixue's sleeve, and stepped into the hall at a faster speed.
Qin Xiyue still faintly heard Lu Zhixue's voice, "What are you pulling me for, isn't what I'm telling the truth? You said you just arrived, it's full of lies, it's extremely hypocritical..."
The smile on Qin Xiyue's face couldn't hold back any longer. She just said something polite, but Lu Zhixue caught her and humiliated her...
Fang Ping's complexion was also not good-looking, she looked at the master worriedly, hesitated for a while but said nothing, let Hua Ying follow, and she immediately went to do what the master ordered.
Today, the Empress Dowager specially gave An Shutong a birthday banquet in the side hall of the Shouci Palace. At this time, the Empress Dowager was still worshiping the Buddha in the small Buddhist hall.
Mother Yao stopped when she heard the sound of the Buddhist scriptures, and immediately took a step forward, bent down to help the Queen Mother up, "Queen Mother, please help me change your clothes."
The Empress Dowager sat on the cushion and looked at Nanny Yao, "Is there a reply from the Emperor?"
"Boss Meng said that the emperor is meeting the courtiers." Nanny Yao replied.
The empress dowager's eyes drooped slightly, and the prayer beads in her hand spun faster, "You go there yourself, and be sure to invite the emperor."
"Yes." Although Nanny Yao felt that the matter was not easy, she did not dare to say no at this time.
You Rong and Miao Rui immediately stepped forward to change the queen mother's clothes, and Nanny Yao bent down and exited.
Walking along the long verandah, within a few steps, I met An Shutong, "I have seen Miss An."
"Mother Yao, get up quickly." An Shutong supported Nanny Yao who was saluting, with a very genuine smile on her face, "Auntie should have finished attending to the Buddha right now, and I am going to serve her."
"Today is a good day for the girl. The Empress Dowager has long said that there is no need for the girl to serve her today." Nanny Yao said with a smile, "Young lady, hurry up and get busy. You Rong and Miao Rui are here, girl, don't worry."
An Shutong said anxiously: "Usually I serve my aunt personally, how can I be lazy today."
"Today is the girl's birthday, and there are many distinguished guests. The Empress Dowager said that the girl should treat the guests well." Nanny Yao immediately said, "The servant has something to do, so I will leave first."
An Shutong's mind was moved, and he immediately said: "Is there something urgent for Mammy? Do you need me to get someone to help Mammy?"
Nurse Yao raised her head and looked at Miss An, "Why bother Miss, this servant is going to go ahead."
An Shutong showed a look of surprise and bewilderment on his face, and the smile on his face was full of anxiety and guilt, "Mother..."
