I'm not really the protagonist? [Transmigration Book]

Peony banquet, in the imperial garden.

The wives of each family gathered together, and the ladies who came together gathered at the other end and talked to each other.

"Mrs. Su, tell me how you can..." A lady who looked like a splendid dress grabbed Xu Yining's hand and asked in a low voice, "To catch my master's heart."

The eyes of the ladies surrounding them were also bright, waiting for the person in the middle to speak.

Xu Yining in the middle has fair skin and firm eyes, with gentle and smiling eyes, and a sense of happiness and happiness all over his body. It is not at all different from those people who stay in the mansion every day, fight wits and courage with the concubines in the backyard, and have a sad face.

When the thirteen princes had a banquet before, they were envious of the close and harmonious relationship between the three members of the Su family. Now, through this peony banquet, before the empress and all the concubines arrived, they finally found a chance to ask for advice.

Xu Yining also didn't expect that before she took the initiative to make friends, this group of ladies took the initiative to show a good attitude.

"Actually... there is no other way, just..." Xu Yining smiled lightly.

"What is it?" Several ladies hurriedly asked.

"There's a saying, 'If you want to capture a person's heart, you must first capture a person's stomach'."

After hearing the first sentence, the ladies felt a little cold. This meant that they were asked to cook the meals themselves, but...but they couldn't.

They are all the children of high-ranking officials and noble families, which of them has not been served by rich clothes and fine food since they were young. This person who washes his hands and makes soup really embarrasses them.

Xu Yining didn't seem to see the faces of these ladies, and then he continued, "Of course this doesn't mean that we have to do the kitchen ourselves. If our hands are as rough as old mothers, let alone the masters of the family, it's us I can't stand it either."

The eyes of the ladies were rekindled, and they all agreed: "Yes, yes."

"Then what do you say about grabbing your stomach?" said the wife who was sitting a little outside. Xu Yining had prepared his homework earlier, so he knew at a glance that this was the wife of Mr. Zhang, the minister of rites.

Xu Yining smiled kindly at the lady, saying that every lady has a small kitchen, and it is enough for the servants in the small kitchen to have unique skills.

The ladies were puzzled again, what about this unique craftsmanship?

Xu Yining: "I was lucky enough to come to the Peony Banquet, but I don't want to meet all the ladies for the first time, so I have to treat each other like this, so I won't hide it."

Xu Yining looked around, and saw that besides the eight or nine ladies around, there were some ladies two or three meters away who were quietly looking at this place. Seeing this, the surrounding ladies moved the small stool to the middle Moved, his eyes indicated that Xu Yining could speak.

"A restaurant next to Tang's Restaurant that is about to open recently is called 'Qingyun Shuixie'. When it opens, ladies go and try it and you will know what unique craftsmanship is." Xu Yining said with a twinkle in his eyes, with a serious look on his face. remember.

The wives were skeptical, but they also secretly decided to try the unique craftsmanship on the opening day. Xu Yining had just finished talking about asking friends to give the wives and ladies a half discount on the opening day, when the eunuch called: "The empress is here! .”

The elegant, smiling queen came with a group of concubines, and after a closer look, there were still thirteen princes in front, but what was the thirteen princes riding?

All the wives and young ladies stood up to greet each other, the empress nodded in absolution, and then led the concubines to their seats.

The empress sits at the top, with the concubine Xian who is the first of the four concubines at the bottom left, and concubine Shu who is the most low-key among the four concubines on the right. The other two concubines, Concubine Yi is in the cold palace, and Concubine De is with the empress dowager. The Hanshui Temple in the area has been eating fast and praying to Buddha for more than three years, praying for Xia Qi.As for why the Empress Dowager is in the Hanshui Temple in the Xize District instead of the Dahanshui in the suburbs of the capital, it is because the late emperor passed away in the Hanshui Temple in the Xize District.

Everyone drank tea, chatted for a while, and walked around the colorful imperial garden behind the queen, saying that it was a peony banquet, but at this season, all the flowers except peonies were in bloom, and all the wives who watched were amazed.

Everyone was tired from shopping, and rested for a while in a pavilion. At this moment, the thirteenth prince was happily playing back and forth in the open space in front of the pavilion with the baby walker that Su Jiabao had given him on his legs.

"This... this Prince Ming is going to leave." Concubine Xian's head is the old lady of Zuo Xiang's family. The old lady saw the thirteenth prince's short legs walking steadily. , said in surprise.

The thirteenth prince is only over one year old now, not only has he walked very steadily, but it looks like he will run away in a few days, and all eyes are drawn to the thirteenth prince.

The queen smiled softly, "Yes, it's thanks to the baby walker that Xiao Qi gave me." The queen pointed to the wooden cart that the thirteenth prince was riding under her, and continued: "It's really a good thing. It will probably be gone in half a month."

The rest of the wives who had babies at home were all interested, staring at the "giggling" thirteenth prince without blinking, and then shifted their gaze to the wooden cart under him.

Seeing the inquiring eyes all around, the queen smiled and said: "This is something from Wanbao Pavilion. Wanbao Pavilion will open soon. Interested ladies can go and have a look. There are indeed many good things."

It is naturally good to be able to deliver to the thirteenth prince, and now that he has received the empress' undisguised praise, the ladies understand that this Wanbao Pavilion is not only good, but the people behind the Wanbao Pavilion seem to be related to the Seventh Prince nice.

After resting, everyone continued to stroll around, Xu Yining walked behind, a lady kindly held her hand and chatted while admiring the flowers.

That was the wife of Lu Fei, the right deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Lu Fei had told her to communicate with Su Wei's wife a long time ago. Originally, she just wanted to say a few words to deal with it, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Su was well educated. , smells like a book, and after speaking, I found that I have a special affinity with her, um, not bad.

"Eh? Mrs. Su, this bracelet on your hand is really delicate."

"Madam Lu also likes it? Hey, I really like it too." Xu Yining seemed to have found a common topic, and raised the bracelet on his hand in front of him, "This bracelet is not only beautiful and unique, but also exquisite in design."

Xu Yining turned the bracelet around, "I can't see the opening or clasp."

"Really!" Mrs. Lu exclaimed shallowly, causing several ladies around to look over.

Xu Yining imitated Su Jiabao's movements, took off the bracelet and clasped it on Madam Lu's hand, with a "click", Madam Lu found that the bracelet fit her wrist very well, opened her mouth slightly, and let out a "hey".

The Peony Banquet was very successful and the atmosphere was harmonious. At the Peony Banquet, the wives were talking to each other, and the juniors of each family sat obediently next to their elders.

The concubines have changed into another set of clothes, still gorgeous and graceful.

As the sky was getting late, the hairpin on Xu Yining's head, the pendants on his ears and neck, and the bracelet on his hand faintly emitted fluorescent light. As the night got late, the fluorescent light became more and more intense, not dazzling, very soft.After attracting a group of ladies, they turned their attention to Xu Yining.

The queen and all the concubines were also attracted. Concubine Xian was the first to ask, with a gentle tone and a hint of kindness.

Xu Yining told about Su Jiabao's gold shop respectfully and politely.

Jinpu has a very pleasant name "Luo Shen", and the word "Luo Shen" on the plaque of Jinpu was also written by Xiahou Lingyuan.

Written by gold powder.

The wives had already written down the name of the shop in their hearts, thinking that they must go for a stroll. The concubines and concubines also thought that Xu Yining's jewelry was very good, so they remembered the name of the gold shop.

The next day, Yanning Palace.

Prince Xiuyan came to greet Concubine Xian, the two chatted casually, Concubine Xian talked about the "Luo Shen" gold shop that Xu Yining mentioned yesterday, she smiled and said that she thought this shop was good, and planned to let him enter the palace for her next time Bring some hairpins.

The prince smiled and nodded, and went straight back to the prince's mansion after saying goodbye.

The gold shop, the soon-to-open Qingyun Water Pavilion, and the Wanbao Pavilion all belong to the Xianshuo Palace, but now they all belong to the Su family.

"It seems that Prince Xianshuo really has a good relationship with that young master." Sitting alone in the study of the Prince's Mansion, he said with a smile.

The prince Xiahou Xiuyan looked at him coldly, did not hide the deep disgust between his brows, put away the disgust for a while and asked.

"Mr. Chang, why do you think Xiahou Lingyuan did this?"

Isn't Mr. Chang the one who formed an alliance with the fifth prince Xia Houchun and proposed to assassinate Chu Yunmo to divert the attention of Dali Temple.

Chang Sheng shook his head and said, "Maybe it's just a simple friendship."

Xiahou Xiuyan squinted his eyes, "Maybe it was before, but it might not be after the Yuntai Poetry Festival."

In the poem tour, Su Jiabao got the quota to worship Ye Fengyang as his teacher, and the relationship between Chu Yunmo and this Su Jiabao seemed to be unusual.

"When will your Baijin Kingdom withdraw its troops?" Xiahou Xiuyan asked another topic, "Chu Yunguo has already withdrawn its troops. If you don't retreat, the two countries may be at war."

"Of course it's when people return their soldiers and when they retreat." Chang Sheng stood up and said slowly, "Your Highness, don't betray me halfway, I'll get rid of the five princes for you, but the person I want But there is no progress at all."

Xiahou Xiuyan and Chang Sheng looked at each other, their eyes were calm, unable to see the slightest meaning, and said after a while: "I will naturally do what I promised you, but you and I both underestimated Xiahou Lingyuan's strength. His people are guarding in the dark, and we need to find another opportunity to steal the beam and change the post."

"No!" Chang Sheng denied directly, and his smiling face finally showed his true emotions.

"The longer the time, the more dangerous it is. What we want is a human being, not a corpse."

"Okay." Xiahou Xiuyan said in a deep voice.

The next day at the Jinluan Hall, the emperor ordered officials involved in Cangying Mountain and the embezzlement of money and ink for disaster relief to be beheaded at the North Gate. To the shock of the courtiers, the emperor did not say anything about the treatment of Xia Houchun, who was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment.

The emperor seemed to have forgotten, but how could he forget? No one dared to ask.

After the court was over, the courtiers rushed home in a hurry. No one knew why the emperor didn't deal with Xiahou Chun, but they knew that the court was going to be unstable.

A piece of news was secretly transmitted to the Prince's Mansion, Xia Hou Xiuyan's face was full of sternness, after burning the news, he went to the cold palace where Concubine Yi was imprisoned overnight.

In the formerly desolate and desolate Lenggong, now there are two great figures.

Concubine Xian and the prince.

Concubine Xian looked coldly at Concubine Yi who was sitting by the dressing table in plain white clothes, "Chen Lian, I have let the emperor bypass Xia Houchun's life, what is the news you sent someone to bring?"

"Your Majesty, it's been many years of tit-for-tat confrontation, but I didn't expect you to be better than me." Concubine Yi gently combed her hair without turning her head: "I'm willing to admit defeat, but I won't give you what I have in my hand."

"you......"

"Don't worry, I have held your handle for so many years and I haven't said anything. This time, I just want to make my son safe."

"How are you doing?"

"Save my son from the prison." Concubine Yi turned around.

"Impossible." The prince suddenly said, "You know how big a crime he has committed, and it is a great thing to escape the death penalty..."

"No, shut up." Concubine Yi suddenly shouted, "Sin? You guys are behind it."

"I don't care, if my son doesn't come out of the prison within seven days, then the evidence will appear in front of the emperor," Concubine Yi sneered, "At that time, we will die together."

Seeing the determination on the Prince's face, Concubine Yi turned to him and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, do you know how you came to be the Prince?"

The prince's heart trembled, and the concubine Xian showed murderous intent, but she restrained herself.

Concubine Yi continued: "Back then, when the queen was still a princess, she was pregnant with a son..."

The author has something to say: I have been watching Tunhai for the past two days, but last night I dreamed that the quietest and most introverted girl in our company poisoned me and smashed my favorite toy car because she liked people like me.
