Chapter 572: The Queen Mother invites you to come over
The Third Prince's wife was kicked in the face by Sui Sui on one side and beaten by Xie Yingmian on the other.
Sui Sui and Xie Yingmian are both very strong.
The face quickly swelled up.
The Third Prince's wife covered her face with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes. "Your Majesty, Princess Ling hit me in public. You must stand up for me."
The Queen frowned and said in a cold voice, "Feng Yuan, I don't want to argue with you because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival and it's a good day for the ladies of the families to gather and enjoy the moon."
"You inexplicably target Princess Ling and slander her."
"Let's not talk about who was right or wrong before. Let's just talk about what happened just now. Princess Ling was very far away from you, and there were several people between you. No matter what, it would be impossible for her to hit you in public. There should be a limit to your lying."
"Princess Ling was wrong to hit you, but you were the one who slandered her first. Princess Ling is not older than you, but she is of higher status. She is your aunt, your elder. You slandered her without any evidence, so it is only natural for her to teach you a lesson."
"I will only spare you this time."
"If you continue to make random accusations and slander me next time, I won't be polite either."
After the queen finished speaking, she shook her sleeves and led everyone forward.
The Third Prince's wife was beaten for nothing and scolded by the Queen, so she clenched her fists tightly.
But she didn't dare to say anything and could only apologize.
The Third Prince's wife hated Xie Yingmian again.
Xie Yingmian didn't care.
Anyway, the feud has already been formed.
She would glance at Concubine Xing from time to time.
Concubine Xing's expression remained indifferent, and her gaze never lingered on the Third Prince's wife.
It was as if everything that happened had nothing to do with her.
Xie Yingmian suspected that his guess was wrong.
Suisui has returned to the empty stone space, crunching on the snacks used by the royal court.
Xie Yingmian asked Sui Sui: "How long can your stealth mode last?"
Sui Sui: “Not necessarily.”
"Most of the time it fails, but the few times it succeeds, the duration is very short, at most ten seconds, at least two or three seconds."
"Meibao, do you want me to beat that bitch again?"
"I'll think about it again, maybe it will work."
Xie Yingmian: "No need."
"He's just cannon fodder, not worth our efforts."
"The person behind the Third Prince's wife is the one we should really pay attention to."
Speaking of this, Xie Yingmian remembered something.
When Mrs. Wang first met Linglong, she asked Yu Lingye about the Wang family's lost daughter.
Yu Lingye told her that the second prince had been engaged to Linglong, a girl from Lady Wang's family.
After Linglong went missing, the second prince's fiancée was changed to a girl from the Feng family.
She specifically asked whether it was Feng or Feng.
Yu Lingye told her that it was Feng from Liangshuima.
Just now, the Queen called the name of the Third Prince's wife, Feng Yuan.
The third prince's wife is from the Feng family, the second prince's wife is also from the Feng family, Princess Deyang married into the Feng family, and the second prince's mother is Concubine Xing.
These relationships are full of twists and turns, but they are connected in a strange way.
Quite interesting.
When everyone arrived at Fengyi Palace, the moonlight was just right.
There are no clouds tonight.
The moonlight is as silver, and the night is clear and dust-free.
Fengyi Palace is full of osmanthus trees, and the fragrance of osmanthus is everywhere.
The banquet was held in the pavilion of Fengyi Palace.
As you climb the stairs, the pavilion suddenly opens up.
Beneath the pavilion, the water ripples, and countless colorful river lanterns are placed on the water. The river lanterns float with the water, like the starry sky, swaying and flowing towards the distance.
Above the pavilion, the moonlight is bright, the osmanthus flowers are swaying, and the fragrance is drifting in the wind.
Everyone sat down in turn.
The banquet officially begins.
The palace maids and eunuchs entered one after another.
Various delicious dishes were also served one after another.
Only after the queen started eating did the others start to eat.
For the ladies of the royal family, banquets were the places where mischief was most likely to occur.
Food being swapped and poisoned, clothes being wet by palace maids and being knocked unconscious while changing, accidentally encountering something you shouldn't have encountered while going to the toilet after eating, etc. This kind of melodramatic and routine stories usually appear at banquets.
Therefore, the ladies of the clan and the nobles rarely picked up their chopsticks.
Xie Yingmian is different.
She can tell at a glance whether something is poisonous or not.
It is not in line with her values to waste so much delicious food in front of her without taking a bite.
Therefore, no matter how many dishes the palace maids served her, she never wasted any.
The queen saw Xie Yingmian eating and the corners of her mouth curled up.
Watching Xie Yingmian eating, she was as delicious as ever.
She usually doesn't eat much at night, but she managed to eat a lot.
After the meal, there is the elegant activity of appreciating the moon and reciting poems.
Xie Yingmian had no interest at all.
She didn't participate, nor did she understand much. She hid in the corner and stuffed food into the empty stone space for Sui Sui to taste when no one was paying attention.
"Princess Ling." A person who looked like an aunt came to Xie Yingmian and saluted with a respectful and polite attitude and a smile on her face.
At first glance, he seems very affable.
But if you look closely, the man's smile doesn't even reach his eyes.
Her words were conciliatory, but her tone was unquestionable: "The Empress Dowager has been feeling unwell recently. She has heard of your excellent medical skills, and since you are visiting the palace, she would like to invite you to come and see her."
The queen has been paying attention to Xie Yingmian.
When he saw Aunt Jingping coming to the Empress Dowager's side, his expression changed slightly.
