Chapter 291 Concubine Xuan
The eldest princess had brought Hu Xiner here before, so Hu Xiner knew the way here.
She cleverly avoided the route taken by the eunuchs and palace maids, and hid under the shade of a tree in a daze. Thinking of the eldest princess, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.
After Erdong escaped last time, she advised the eldest princess to chase her husband as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, the eldest princess never came back.
When she found out that she was pregnant, she sent a letter to the princess's residence and invited her to marry him.
But Xiaolan actually asked her if she knew where the eldest princess had gone.
In other words, the eldest princess has now completely lost contact with everyone.
It goes without saying that since Erdong has decided to escape, he will definitely not take the usual route.
The eldest princess followed closely behind. Whether she could keep up was one thing, but whether she could survive safely was another.
Nothing will happen to her if she ventures into the martial arts world with her half-baked martial arts skills, right?
Hu Xin'er couldn't help but feel a little worried. Bored, she picked a flower and counted its petals: "The eldest princess succeeded in catching her husband, but now she's in danger..."
"Huh?" A light yellow figure suddenly appeared in Yu Guangzhong's eyes. A concubine wearing a ginkgo tassel hairpin said with a smile. "Aren't you the good friend that the eldest princess brought last time? Why are you being so cruel and destroying this beautiful woman?"
After being teased like this, Hu Xiner realized that she had accidentally plucked a flower from the flowerbed.
She quickly threw away the flower and stepped on it twice guiltily to destroy the evidence.
"Are you... Concubine Xuan?" Hu Xin'er asked uncertainly.
Last time she seemed to be in the Queen's mahjong parlor, oh, somewhere where they played mahjong, she saw this concubine, and the eldest princess introduced her to her.
It was probably for this reason that the concubine took the initiative to talk to her.
Concubine Xuan winked playfully: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Alas, I'm just a little short of money playing cards recently..."
Hu Xin'er silently clutched her purse tightly: "I don't have any money, but I have my life!"
Concubine Xuan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed: "No wonder the eldest princess likes to play with you, you two are both crazy!"
Hu Xin'er said awkwardly, "That's not the case..."
Concubine Xuan took her hand in a familiar manner and said, "The birthday banquet is about to begin, let's go there quickly."
While Hu Xin'er was in a daze, the sun had already set completely behind the mountain.
She looked at the sky and asked doubtfully, "Empress Xuan, shouldn't you be with His Majesty?"
According to the current time, the previous dynasty's sacrifice should have ended, and the emperor and empress should have changed their clothes and were on their way with their concubines.
But why did Concubine Xuan suddenly appear here?
Could this be another trap set by the prince? Hu Xin'er's heart was pounding.
Concubine Xuan looked at her strangely. "Silly girl, didn't you learn the rules before you came here? Only the high-ranking and favored Empress and Noble Concubines were qualified to accompany His Majesty on matters related to the previous dynasty. They should be on their way now."
"I did learn the rules, but they weren't very detailed." After Hu Xin'er finished answering, she asked curiously, "Didn't His Majesty and the others gather with you first and then go to the banquet together?"
Concubine Xuan shook her head: "Of course not. How could we have such a big face? Besides, not all the concubines in the harem will be attending the banquet this time. Only those who have been granted grace by His Majesty can attend."
At this point, she asked uncertainly, "Are you really here for the dinner?"
Hu Xiner nodded.
Concubine Xuan smiled and asked, "So, which family are you from? How did you get to know the eldest princess? She's known for her bad temper."
The last time, the two of them only had a quick glance and did not know the details of each other's true identity.
Therefore, Concubine Xuan was very curious.
Hu Xin'er pointed to the bun on her head and said, "I'm not a bachelor anymore."
"She has a round face and is so cute, but she's already married?" Concubine Xuan sighed.
She had a good temper, and Hu Xin'er was happy to chat with her on the way to the birthday party, so she added, "Besides, I'm not a rich girl, just a peasant girl."
"Farmer girl?" Concubine Xuan pondered, "Why do I feel like I've heard this somewhere?"
"Uh... do you know Lu Yunjue?" Hu Xiner didn't know how to explain her identity for the moment, so she asked.
Concubine Xuan's eyes lit up: "Is that the handsome young master of the Lu family?"
Hu Xiner never expected that Concubine Xuan would become lively when Lu Yunjue was mentioned.
From her narration, Hu Xiner realized that her husband's beauty was even being talked about in the harem, especially since there was a rumor recently that he was going to be the Grand Marshal, the discussion became even more heated.
"Who is he to you?" Concubine Xuan asked with interest.
Hu Xin'er said somewhat embarrassedly, "Lu Yunjue is my husband."
Concubine Xuan began to murmur softly: "So Lu Yunjue likes this figure. Hurry up and write it down. This information can be sold for another 20 taels of silver~"
Hu Xiner coughed twice.
Concubine Xuan finally realized her own mistake. She exclaimed, not without envy, "So you are the peasant girl Hu Xin'er they were talking about. You are so lucky!"
Hu Xiner could only wave her hands modestly: "No way..."
Concubine Xuan suddenly leaned close to her ear and asked softly, "Do you have any new works from Mu Xin Comics Shop?"
Hu Xiner almost choked to death on her own saliva.
Concubine Xuan said shyly, "The eldest princess used to sell me books, but she disappeared recently, and I haven't read a new picture book for a long time."
The palace was strictly controlled, and a concubine like her had no way of purchasing things from outside because the money would be deducted by the eunuchs.
Hu Xin'er hadn't expected her comics to become so popular. She smiled awkwardly and nodded, "No problem! I'll bring them to you next time."
Concubine Xuan was very happy: "When I was at home, my mother didn't like me to read storybooks. Now that I'm in the palace, I have more freedom. This is the only advantage of the palace."
Hu Xin'er was a little curious: "Your mother is..."
Concubine Xuan smiled and said, "I am the daughter of the Liu family, did you know that?"
Hu Xin'er was shocked: "Mr. Liu is your younger brother?"
Because His Majesty was not interested in women, selections were rare. The only family in the capital that was qualified to send such a young and beautiful girl to the palace was the Liu family, whom Hu Xin'er had known before.
Concubine Xuan was even more delighted to see that she had an old relationship with the Liu family. Once they started chatting, she couldn't stop talking.
Hu Xiner was sweating silently in her heart. Concubine Xuan and Master Liu were both talkative, they were indeed siblings!
The two separated after arriving at the birthday banquet venue, and soon, His Majesty's birthday banquet officially began.
First, officials brought their families to congratulate the emperor and give him gifts.
