, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Su Xinyi thanked the two of them, "I know, don't worry."

The two of them became even more worried when they saw Su Xinyi like this, but they had no choice but to think about adding more snacks to the dinner and watch her.

Su Xinyi returned to the west hall. As soon as she entered the door, she saw that Pei Nianwei's curtain was still closed. He knew that she had not gone out just now, so he ignored her and went back to his bed. Soon Wang Yingyao also came back.

With Pei Nianwei around, Wang Yingyao couldn't say much and just like Su Xinyi, she started to pack her clothes for the evening banquet.

Su Xinyi didn't want to be in the limelight, so she chose a dark purple double-breasted coat with pinched teeth and a Ruyi pattern, and a fish belly white thin pleated plain long skirt. Only a circle of flowers and grass patterns was embroidered at the corners of the skirt. She chose a pair of shoes that were convenient for walking and The warm deerskin boots are not conspicuous even if they are hidden under the long skirt.

I picked another sky-blue cloak and basically everything was done.

Wang Yingyao looked at her dumbfounded, "Is this what you're wearing?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Wang Yingyao couldn't laugh or cry. Of course, these clothes were exquisite, but they were too low-key. "It's nothing, but now I know what you said is sincere."

Su Xinyi understood immediately and looked at her, "Can I still lie to you?"

"Yes, you always have something to say." Wang Yingyao looked at Su Xinyi's dress, thought about it, changed the outfit prepared for her at home, and wore something less conspicuous herself. She looked at her soft satin embroidered shoes again and saw Gritting his teeth, he took out a pair of sheepskin boots and put them on.

The soft satin embroidered shoes are indeed beautiful, but it is also really cold at this time of year. It is just the beginning of the first month and it is the end of spring.

The two of them whispered this, and suddenly the curtain on the other side lifted up, revealing Pei Nianwei's delicate but impatient face.

Wang Yingyao swallowed back what she was about to say, and looked at Pei Nianwei with a smile again, "Miss Pei, what's the matter?"

Pei Nianwei ignored Wang Yingyao and stared straight at Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi didn't care at all when she was staring at her like this. He glanced sideways at her and asked, "Miss Pei, what's wrong?"

Pei Nianwei looked at Su Xinyi's calm expression, her face was not very good-looking, and she sneered and said, "I just heard you mocking Shu Siyang. You should be careful, people from the Shu family are not easy to mess with."

Su Xinyi nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Miss Pei, for reminding me, but everything I said is true. Even if the queen personally intervened, she would have a clear conscience."

Pei Nianwei looked at Su Xinyi's calm face and showed no fear. The expression on her face changed again and again. Finally, she pulled down the curtain and the person disappeared again.

Wang Yingyao and Su Xinyi looked at each other, and they pursed their lips and smiled at the same time.

Sure enough, within half an hour, a female envoy came to deliver the message that the Queen was hosting a dinner and asked everyone to arrive on time.

Su Xinyi changed clothes in a leisurely manner. Ran Su and Zhuo Qing hurried in to help. Su Xinyi was used to it and waved her hand: "No, I can do it myself." Looking at Wang Yingyao's fuss, Then he smiled at Ran Su and said, "I'd like to ask Ms. Ran to do a favor for Miss Wang."

Ran Su quickly agreed and went over to help Wang Yingyao dress up.

Su Xinyi herself tied a simple and elegant single-snail bun in front of the mirror. This bun was relatively simple. The hair strands were gathered together, folded like a spiral and placed on the top of the head. A red gold inlaid jewel was inserted into the bead-pierced bun. The gemstone is only the size of a fingernail, and the hanging pearl, although warm in color, is smaller than the gemstone. Fortunately, the same pearl earrings are worn on the ears, so they look similar.

Apart from these, Su Xinyi only wore a green bracelet on her wrist. Wang Yingyao looked at her and suddenly sighed, "Although your outfit is very plain, you are really beautiful." It is often said in poems Chuoyue is like a fairy, that's probably what you are like."

Su Xinyi:?

Wang Yingyao met Su Xinyi's surprised gaze, her eyebrows slightly curved, "She's really beautiful."

Su Xinyi said tangledly: "How about I change it?"

Wang Yingyao almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She covered her lips with a handkerchief for fear of disturbing Pei Nianwei next to her, and said in a low voice, "No need. With your elegant dress, I'm afraid you will be lost in the crowd."

Su Xinyi thought so and stopped worrying.

While he was talking like this, people from the palace were also coming in and out of Pei Nianwei's side. There were three or four female envoys coming in and out through a layer of curtains, and their postures were much larger than those on their side.

Wang Yingyao and Su Xinyi didn't want to have any quarrel with Pei Nianwei. After they had packed up, they simply took a step ahead and met Jiang Ruolan outside.

Jiang Ruolan wore a sand blue shirt and skirt, a real purple mink fur coat, and a pair of thick-soled velvet embroidered shoes on her feet. She looked annoyed when she saw the small leather boots the two of them wore. look.

"I hesitated for a moment whether to wear soft boots. If I had known better, I would have worn them."

The three of them walked out chatting and laughing. At this time, almost all the ladies from the Yangde Palace were out in force, and everyone was rushing to the Xianju Palace for the banquet.

Everyone walked together in twos and threes to keep company. Su Xinyi and the three of them were not conspicuous at all as they walked among the crowd.

Wang Yingyao glanced at the crowd and said with a smile: "Xin Yi, I'm right, look at how you can stand out in this beautiful dress."

Su Xinyi nodded, they were really very simple, at least the girls who walked past just now, their shirts and skirts were woven with gold and silver hooks, and they really shone in the sun when they walked.

Really bright and beautiful.

It is not close from Yangde Palace to Xianju Palace. You have to pass through Shaoyang Courtyard and Linde Palace. When passing the palace road outside Shaoyang Courtyard, many ladies looked over there. Su Xinyi did not even turn her head. The three of them walked without hesitation and surpassed many people who stopped and watched in front.

After passing Linde Palace, Xianju Palace could be seen from a distance. The three of them walked forward briskly, and their maids also quickened their pace to lead the way.

Xianju Palace was built magnificently. It was the residence of the empress dowager of the previous dynasty. After the fall of the previous dynasty, the empress dowagers of the Yan Dynasty never lived here, so it was changed into a place for banquets in the harem.

Su Xinyi had been here in her previous life, although only that time.

Standing here at this time, she was not familiar with the grass and trees here, nor the luxurious flying eaves and colorful glazed tiles here.

Standing in front of the steps of the main hall of Xianju Palace, it seemed that time and space overlapped at this moment. She looked at another self standing alone at the bottom of the steps. There was laughter and joy in the palace, but it was as quiet as hell around her. She could clearly hear the happy conversation between the Princess of Pingjing County, the Princess of Guangping County and the Queen in the palace, and she seemed to be forgotten by the world and stood there alone.

She clearly remembered the disdainful and sarcastic eyes of the palace servants around her, and the slightly raised chins when they talked to her. She also remembered the mocking and disgusted looks on Yan Qiongsi and Shu Siyang's faces when they walked past her.

She still remembered Yan Qiongsi's sigh, "This is the daughter of Master Su Si, it's a pity that a tiger father gave birth to a dog daughter."

At that time, the Duke of Qi's mansion had already experienced a series of incidents. The legitimate mother was seriously ill and bedridden, and the lady was also seriously ill and had to take medicine every day. At that time, the Princess of Pingjing County was already thinking about how to get rid of herself and how to marry Yan Qiongsi into the family.

At that time, she was not enduring for herself, but for her stepmother and the Duke of Qi's Mansion. What she blamed herself for was that her father's reputation was humiliated because of her.

What was she like at that time?

Probably she wanted to die but couldn't, and she had no hope of living, so later the Duke of Qi's Mansion was divided, and after her stepmother passed away, she had no worries. When the Princess of Pingjing County wanted to do something to her, she dragged her whole family into hell like crazy.

At that time, living was only torture for her, and death was a relief.

"Xinyi, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go in."

Jiang Ruolan's cheerful voice pulled Su Xinyi out of the quagmire of past thoughts. She blinked suddenly, and the golden sunlight fell on the colorful glazed tiles. The spring breeze brought the tail of the cold winter, although with a sharp whistle, but also brought the vitality of spring.

Yes, she was not the Su Xinyi who made mistakes step by step in her previous life and was stuck in the quagmire and couldn't get out.

She took a deep breath and smiled widely, "Let's go in and take a look."

In her previous life, she could only stand at the steps of Xianju Palace and look up, but now she can come and go here. She is no longer the Su Xinyi who desperately wants to be recognized by others and wants to live like a famous lady.

In this life, she is herself, not Su Xinyi who lives like others!

The main hall of Xianju Palace has been filled with tables and chairs, and the palace servants keep shuttling in it. Everyone's seat has obviously been arranged long ago. Many people have already sat down in the hall, divided into different seats.

Ran Su stepped forward and smiled at Su Xinyi: "County Lady, your seat is in the front, follow me."

Wang Yingyao and Jiang Ruolan's seats are different from Su Xinyi's. They are a little behind the throne, so the three of them have no choice but to sit separately.

In the middle of the Xianju Hall, on the high ground, there was a large gold-painted rosewood screen. In front of the screen was a throne. On the rosewood incense tables on the left and right of the throne were copper cloisonné enamel luduans. Next to the luduans were a pair of copper cloisonné enamel cranes. A step forward, on the left and right, there were a pair of copper cloisonné enamel incense burners. There was faint white smoke coming out of the incense burners, which was the smell of incense commonly used in the palace.

The huge hall was not crowded even with dozens of tables. There were heaters in the four corners, and the hall was warm. Ran Su took off her cloak and hung it on the Huanghuali wood hollow carved hanger on the wall.

Su Xinyi came earlier. Although her position was not the first, it was quite close to the throne. There were only two tables before her. When she turned her head, she saw Shu Siyang walking in front with her head held high. Behind her were seven or eight ladies, who were really full of momentum.

When passing by Su Xinyi, Shu Siyang snorted lightly, his eyes raised high, and he looked like he would never conspire with her.

Su Xinyi ignored her expressionlessly, and took a sip of the teacup on the table. Even when she was sitting there, her shoulders were straight, but her extremely upright sitting posture revealed a bit of leisurely charm, which made people unable to help but take a second look.

Shu Siyang sat in the first position on the upper left corner of Su Xinyi with a gloomy face. After Shu Siyang arrived, more and more people entered the hall soon.

Pei Nianwei sat in the first position in Su Xinyi's row. Su Xinyi was not surprised. Pei Nianwei was a daughter of the Pei family after all. But she didn't expect that the queen was so confident and didn't care about what others said. She let Shu Siyang sit in the first position on the left. The left has always been honored in all dynasties.

If there are two prime ministers in the court, the left prime minister has more power than the right prime minister.

The woman sitting between Su Xinyi and Pei Nianwei was thin, but her features were very sweet. Her eyes sparkled like a pair of gemstones. Su Xinyi felt familiar with her. There were not many people who could sit in this position. After thinking carefully, she knew who she was.

Li Qingyi.

Concubine Li's niece.

After Li Qingyi sat down, he greeted Pei Nianwei first, then turned to look at Su Xinyi with a kind smile, "County Master Yong'an, I have long admired your name. Qingyi has always wanted to get to know the County Master, but unfortunately she has no chance. Now she finally lets him I got what I wanted."

Su Xinyi pondered Li Qingyi's attitude, and smiled at her appropriately, "Miss Li's talent is widely known, and Xinyi has also been famous for a long time. It is really a blessing to finally meet her today."

Li Qingyi's eyes curled up when he heard this, and he turned slightly sideways, leaning in the direction of Su Xinyi, and said softly: "I know that people outside think that my aunt and I will hate the county master because of what happened to my uncle. In fact, my uncle did something wrong. Well, the laws of the imperial court come first, and naturally we cannot show favoritism. My aunt asked me to see the county boss and convey a message to the county boss, please rest assured that the uncle's matter is his own fault and has nothing to do with the county boss. "

Su Xinyi's heart trembled. She didn't think that Concubine Li Gui and Li Qingyi really meant what they said, but by expressing their attitudes like this, she didn't know whether they were lowering their defensiveness or having other plans.

In short, in his previous life, he was able to raise his son safely under the hands of Empress Shu, and was granted the title of concubine and was favored forever. How can such a person be a simple person?

"What Miss Li said really puzzles me. The Yanyin case was investigated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could a woman from Xinyi dare to intervene in a major court case? I really don't dare to take what Miss Li said." Su Xinyi looked at it helplessly. The other person spoke.

Li Qingyi's words seemed to be conclusive, but upon closer inspection, they were somewhat inappropriate. Su Xinyi's involvement in the Yanyin case was not made public at first, and when the case was reviewed in the court, her name was mentioned from beginning to end. Never appeared.

So what if the Li family knew she was in Jing'an Mansion? Did she go to Jing'an Mansion just to check on Li Ji?

Even if everyone knew that she had reached out, as long as she refused to admit it, the Li family would not be able to produce evidence to pin it on her head. She believed that His Highness the Crown Prince must have wiped out all traces of her in Jing'an Mansion. Even if the news came out, it would only be related to Ma Rude, but that was a different matter.

If she accepted Li Qingyi's words at this time, wouldn't she have confirmed herself?

What are Concubine Li's aunt and nephew planning?

Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out and could only deal with it more carefully.

She's not afraid, but not being afraid doesn't mean she's brainless.

Li Qingyi had an annoyed look on his face when he heard this, and then he smiled helplessly, as if he understood everything, and said softly: "Qingyi said something wrong, please don't blame me, Lord. I just ask the Lord to believe that I am to the county." The Lord does not mean any harm."

Su Xinyi chuckled lightly, "Miss Li, I have no misunderstanding or hostility towards you, and I admire talented women like Miss Li very much."

Li Qingyi smiled even more happily when he heard this, "I hope I will have the opportunity to get closer to the county master in the future."

Su Xinyi cupped his hands and said, "Me too."

The two of them were talking passionately and getting along very harmoniously. Many people in the palace were a little surprised. Everyone's eyes were darting around, completely confused as to what was going on.

Shu Siyang had no grudge against Yong'an County Lord, but they were incompatible with each other as soon as they met and made a scene.

There may be some grudge between Li Qingyi and the head of Yong'an County because of Li Ji's exile, but the two of them were clearly chatting happily, which was really hard to understand.

At this time, Zhu Chanyi took a seat under Shu Siyang. After sitting down, he greeted Su Xinyi and said with a smile: "County Master, I knew you arrived early. It's all because they insisted on grabbing me to enjoy the flowers. , What’s so good about winter jasmine flowers?”

Zhu Chanyi is also considered to have the highest status among the generals. It is reasonable to arrange her to work under Shu Siyang and face Li Qingyi.

Su Xinyi smiled at Zhu Chanyi and before she said anything, someone sat down opposite her. She looked up and frowned slightly. She knew this person, Xu Yuru, Xu Yurong's sister.

Logically speaking, it would be inappropriate for Xu Yuru to sit here.

The Marquis Anding's Mansion has long since declined. Now, although there is no such person in the court, the Marquis Anding no longer even has an actual position, so it is very awkward to have him sit here.

If there was any reason, it would be that Xu Yurong was married to Shu Xuebo, and Xu Yuru could be considered the sister of the queen's nephew-in-law.

When Su Xinyi saw Xu Yuru, she immediately thought that the original seating arrangement must not be like this. When she glanced at Shu Siyang's proud smile, she guessed that Shu Siyang must have gone to Empress Shu to complain. Empress Shu could not possibly He wanted to deal with her openly and openly, so he used this trick to disgust her.

This method is exactly the same as in my previous life.

When Su Xinyi raised his eyes, Xu Yuru across from him also raised his eyes and looked back, with a hint of evil in his cold eyes.

Su Xinyi looked away expressionlessly. Well, she did have a grudge against the Anding House.

"Master Yong'an County, it's been a long time no see."

Su Xinyi had no intention of paying attention to Xu Yuru, but Xu Yuru must have taken the order and would start looking for trouble at this time.

Su Xinyi looked up at Xu Yuru, looked confused, looked at him and said, "Who are you?"

Su Xinyi has naturally never met Xu Yuru in this life, and what he said was true.

Xu Yuru didn't expect Su Xinyi to act out of the ordinary, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She looked very similar to her sister Xu Yurong, could she recognize her just by looking at her face, right?

She clearly did it on purpose!

Xu Yuru immediately adjusted her state, looked at Su Xinyi with indifference and anger and said: "It's okay that Princess Yong'an doesn't know me. It's just that thanks to the Princess's blessing, our sisters' marriage is now blocked because of you. Is the Princess proud now?"
