Chapter 82 - banquet
Sure enough, as expected by King An, the news that he spent a lot of time in the palace to seek marriage quickly became the most popular headline news in the capital. It was rumored that even Bai Yinhua was surrounded by mysterious people from the southern border to help King An. Rumored love Gu’s words all sounded as if they were true, and they were harassing and bizarre. King An was okay, and Bai Yinhua couldn’t even get out of Fangfeiyuan’s door.
She is quite shrewd when it comes to fighting in the inner house, and she doesn’t know much about power and tricks. Coupled with the affectionate and dedicated image of King An in her heart, Bai Yinhua didn’t think that King An was deliberately cheating on him, but secretly hated him as a pig. Teammate, no matter how much you love her, you can’t do such a stupid thing. Now it’s better, the two of them have become the laughing stock of Shengjing.
Bai Yinhua trapped himself in Fangfei Garden. He didn’t even want to see Mrs. Zhang knocking on the door.
A few days ago, she was looking forward to when His Majesty or the Queen would think of her and determine her status. At this time, Bai Yinhua and even the entire Bai family wished everyone would ignore them. past.
However, things backfired. It didn’t take long for the Xu family to release a message to hold a wedding ceremony for the girl in the family. Everyone in the capital who could be named received invitations. The Bai family had two more, one of which indicated that it was For Miss Bai family.
And in the current Bai family, besides Bai Yinhua, who else is there a lady in the Bai family?
Bai Yinhua panicked immediately, “Mother, I can’t go!”
Because of King An’s behavior, Bai Yinhua became famous to some extent by stepping on Xu Huan and other young ladies of the Xu family who had not left the cabinet. It would be strange if the Xu family didn’t hate her to death.
Zhang Shi also felt that he couldn’t go: “I can’t let Yinhua come to the door to be abused by others.”
As the elder brother, Bai Zizhen was also there, and he glanced at Bai Yinhua coldly: “If she hadn’t sent her to the door to have a private life with someone, she wouldn’t be in the situation she is today.”
Bai Yinhua’s face was pale, her lips were trembling and she was speechless. Seeing Zhang Shi’s more distress, she said to Bai Zizhen with some reproach, “This is obviously because the Xu family is deceiving people too much. What do you blame your sister for?”
“Mother.” Bai Zizhen sighed helplessly, “You can’t get used to her anymore.”
When he knew that Bai Yinhua and An Wang had a private relationship with Zhang’s acquiescence, Bai Zizhen felt that his three views had been subverted. Is there still such a mother in the world who pushed his daughter into the fire pit?
“Privacy is not justified, if Prince An refuses to accept the account, how do you want Yinhua to deal with it, mother?”
Deep down, Mrs. Zhang was not worried, but her mouth was still stubborn, “King An likes Yinhua so much, how could he refuse to accept the account? Why don’t you go and ask the sage for an order?”
The Bai family has been rolling around on the cusp of the storm, and it hasn’t come down yet. Bai Ziqi, who used to be fearless, has calmed down a bit. At least when he encounters someone who insults his sister’s reputation again, he will not be as fiery as before. Rush up and hit.
He didn’t like Shen Yuzhi before, but now he hates Prince An even more, “Why does the eldest sister have to marry Prince An? There are so many good men in the world, I don’t care about him as a playboy!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was stopped by Mrs. Zhang: “How dare you say anything, don’t you die?”
Bai Ziqi was secretly unconvinced, turned his head to look at Bai Yinhua, and patted Shang Xian’s thin chest: “Sister, King An is unreliable, it will only cause you trouble and ruin your reputation. If you hand over a book, you will say that you are unwilling to marry him. Whatever Prince An does outside, it won’t hurt you any more.”
The brows of other people present couldn’t help but wrinkle. It’s simple to say, but they really rejected King An. Who else would marry Bai Yinhua? Do they really want her to be with the Buddha lamp and be alone until the youngest?
Not to mention that Mr. Zhang was reluctant, even Bai Zizhen couldn’t make up his mind for a while.
After Bai Yinhua frowned irritably, he suddenly remembered something, leaned over and asked Bai Ziqi: “Ziqi, on the day of Miss Xu’s wedding ceremony, come with me.”
“Yinhua/Yinhua!”
Zhang Shi and Bai Zizhen interrupted her in unison, with disapproval on their faces.
“Yinhua, your brother is still young and can’t hold back his temper, so don’t let him get involved.” Zhang Shi said softly, “If you’re afraid, my mother will help you get sick. None of us will go to Xu. home, okay?”
Bai Zizhen said with a cold face, “I’m afraid it won’t work, mother, you forgot, when the Xu family came to deliver the post, they were accompanied by a famous imperial doctor.”
This is a deterrent and a warning.
There are many imperial physicians with superb skills in the deep palace. The Xu family has Queen Xu as their support, and they are not worried about Bai Yinhua pretending to be ill.
But if he was really sick, Bai Zizhen’s eyes darkened, he was worried that the Xu family would logically let Bai Yinhua continue to be ill.
“Then, that…” How Mr. Zhang said in the backyard of Bai’s mansion, but it doesn’t mean that she can be strong when she goes out, “Then why don’t my mother accompany you?”
Having said that, his tone was involuntarily lowered.
Bai Yinhua knew for a long time that although her mother loved her, she couldn’t compare to Bai Ziqi’s selfless doting like an eyeball. Made her feel cold.
Anyway, she calmed down, and she forced herself to remain calm: “I want Ziqi to accompany me, not just for company.” She turned her head to look at Bai Ziqi, her eyes soft, “Ziqi, I heard that you are with the Wang family. The young master who met you and has a good friendship?”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned her head to look at him: “Ziqi, is what your sister said true?”
Bai Ziqi was stunned in his position, and subconsciously looked in Bai Zizhen’s direction, seeing his thick eyebrows knitted and his eyes falling on Bai Yinhua’s body, he clearly showed a bit of displeasure.
“Yes, we know each other, but so what?” Bai Ziqi was at a loss, not understanding why his mother and eldest sister were so excited.
Zhang Shi and Bai Yinhua breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The former was relieved that the innocent and willful young son was very lucky in making friends. As for the latter,
The light in Bai Yinhua’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly, her eyebrows were frowning slightly, and a few layers of thin clouds and mist-like sadness appeared on her beautiful and graceful face. She said cautiously, “Ziqi, can you help my sister?”
In the past, Bai Yinhua didn’t even need to open his mouth. As long as he showed a little meaning, Bai Ziqi quickly agreed, and he was still happy that he had the ability to help his sister.
But at this moment, he hesitated for some reason, and then heard Bai Zizhen say coldly, “Ziqi, you go back first.”
Bai Yinhua said in shock, “Big brother…”
Before she could say why, Bai Zizhen said again, “Ziqi, go back!” This time, the tone was a lot more accentuated.
Bai Ziqi was keenly aware that his brother was really angry, and even if he had doubts in his heart, he didn’t dare to ask any more questions, so he obediently got up and was about to leave.
“No, I can’t go!” Bai Yinhua didn’t care about anything, she called Bai Ziqi to a stop, then turned to look at Bai Zizhen, with a three-point pleading and one-point hope in her anxious expression, “Brother, you know that, If you want to resist the attack of the Xu family, you can only turn to the Wang family!”
Bai Zizhen’s black eyes were turbulent, and he continued: “Then you can’t drag Ziqi into this mess!”
His fiery gaze instantly awakened Bai Yinhua’s sanity from the madness of finally grasping a little light of hope. She pursed her dry lips and showed her weak and pleading emotion through those beautiful eyes that were gentle and affectionate. Incisively and vividly.
“Big brother, I won’t hurt Ziqi, nor will I take advantage of Ziqi’s favor. I just want him to give me a word to the Wang family. Whether it works or not depends on whether the Wang family is willing to cooperate.”
“I won’t implicate Ziqi, brother, believe me!”
…
Bai Chu naturally also received the invitation from the Xu family.
It is the daughter of Xu Huan’s second uncle’s family who is going to hold the wedding ceremony. I heard that the marriage contract was made early, so I didn’t participate in the draft. I just waited for the wedding ceremony to get married.
However, in fact, even the astute as Shen Yuzhi guessed that this banquet was most likely aimed at the Bai family. Have you ever heard that there are other girls in the Xu family besides Xu Huan? When the transparent person had been raised for fifteen years, he suddenly paid attention to it for no reason, and even invited most of the dignitaries in the capital to celebrate him.
“Chu Hua, why don’t you go today?” Shen Yuzhi asked worriedly, looking at Bai Chu, who was carefully drawing her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror.
After all, her surname is Bai, even though the Shen family is not afraid of the Xu family, but the unpredictable disaster that falls from the sky is really heart-wrenching.
“Third brother, don’t worry about me,” Bai Chu slightly modified her brow with her little finger, and slowly placed it on her new blue bird head, looking up at him with a smile, “It’s because the eldest princess is here, Presumably the Xu family will also reward me with some thin noodles.”
In the end, Shen Yuzhi couldn’t refuse her. In her soft words, she still agreed, and only said, “Then I will let Lanchuan protect you in secret?”
Bai Chu smiled and said: “They are all female relatives, even Lanchuan, it is not easy to show up, so as not to disturb the ladies of each family, and turning back will become your third brother’s crime.”
Shen Yuzhi felt that whatever came out of her mouth made sense, and couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. He really wasn’t thoughtful enough, so he took a rest and let Lanchuan follow her mind, and said worriedly, “Then Chu Hua, you must be careful in your actions, and it is best to stay by your mother’s side to ensure safety.”
“Yes.” Bai Chu Yingying smiled, “I remember.”
It was because of Empress Xu’s face that the eldest princess was reluctantly willing to make this trip. Shen Jingzhi and Shen Yuezhi didn’t ask any questions, they definitely didn’t want to get involved in the excitement. Only Shen Yuzhi, thinking that even if they were to **** the two of them, consciously tacitly agreed that they would come together.
When he arrived at the Marquis of Cheng’en’s mansion, Bai Chu learned from the conversation that the protagonist of today’s is Xu Yuan, but most of the people who came to the door just wanted to say a few words, and it didn’t take long to shift the target to Xu Huan or the Xu family.
It was clearly Xu Yuan’s wedding ceremony, but Xu Yan’s dress and appearance were much better than her. Bai Chu quietly looked at Cheng’en Hou Shizi’s wife Shi Shi’s dignified and kind smile, and held Xu Yan’s hand on her arm. , chatting and laughing with every official lady who came to congratulate.
I don’t even know who the protagonist is today.
Most of the people present had heard of the triangular lawsuit between An Wang, Xu Yan, and Bai Yinhua, and when they saw Xu Yan, they began to quietly inquire about Bai Yinhua’s whereabouts.
It doesn’t matter if An Wang is not here, I’ve never seen him give face to anyone.
But how could the daughter of the Bai family dare to let go of the pigeons of the Xu family? …Could it be that something happened in the middle of the road?
Everyone had a polite and decent smile on their faces, and they looked at Xu Yuanzhi and the wedding ceremony with a soft gaze, and there were countless speculations in their hearts.
Suddenly, a maid walked in quietly, walked to Shi’s side, attached herself to her ear and told her, the next second, the smile on Shi’s face lost its warmth.
For the people present, observing words and expressions are basic skills, and naturally they see a little strange, but since Shi Shi, who is the master, pretended not to know, they just assumed that nothing happened.
I thought it would be fine after Shi Shi sent the maid, but she didn’t expect that she would come again after a while, and the anxiety and panic in her expression became heavier.
I can’t hide it now, I can’t hide it.
Because the noise from outside can be transmitted into the house.
Like Bai Chu, the onlookers who were sharpening their knives and waiting to eat melons all held their breaths and stretched their necks, hoping that the movement outside would be better.
“This is the princess of this king in the future. You are so bold! How dare you disrespect the future princess An? If you commit the following crimes, what should you be guilty of!”
