Chapter 1194： Flower viewing feast 2

“Xuan.”

The little **** led Ye Qianning and Nan Xiang in.

Ye Qianning had her hands folded in her sleeves, her posture was calm, her face was full of water and hibiscus, and she was so elegant that she seemed to be different from a human woman. She came from outside the palace, with the light on her back, as if she was dyed with radiant light.

It makes people feel dazed for a while.

Staring at countless pairs of eyes outside the hall, ranging from curiosity to surprise to amazement, disbelief, obsession, jealousy, resentment, hatred...

All kinds of eyes are mixed.

The queen, a group of concubines, and the princesses were also shocked. They had long heard from others that Ye Qianning was so beautiful, and now they were shocked when they saw her.

"See the Queen."

Nan Xiang saluted, but Ye Qianning stood and leaned over.

Yingge stood at Ye Qianning and stretched out her hand to do something.

The queen suddenly came back to her senses and frowned slightly when she saw that she did not kneel down.

"Miss Xiang, when you see the Queen, you must kneel down and bow down."

Concubine Fang on the left couldn't help but speak.

Ye Qianning glanced coldly and let out a soft scoff, which was not loud enough to make the person who said it feel ashamed.

"Miss Xiang, why are you so ignorant of etiquette?" Concubine Fang, who had just spoken, was displeased. She was in her twenties and was a concubine who had just been consecrated by the emperor two years ago. She was quite favored.

Except for the queen, who was living like a fish in the harem, almost no one dared to treat her like this.

"Etiquette is for those who understand etiquette." Ye Qianning said coldly.

"you…"

"Is this empress higher than the queen?" Ye Qianning asked with raised eyebrows.

Concubine Fang's face darkened a little: "What nonsense are you talking about."

"The queen has never spoken, so as a concubine, she speaks first. Is this etiquette?" Ye Qianning said softly: "How dare you come and talk to me about etiquette when you haven't distinguished your dignity?"

Concubine Fang had never been slapped in the face by such ridicule. She immediately stood up and walked out, knelt down and cried to the queen: "Queen, I have no intention of overstepping my bounds. Please be careful."

"Miss Xiang was still young when she left Beili. She has become accustomed to a free and easy personality after being away for many years. I understand." The queen smiled kindly and said: "Miss Xiang, Xiang'er, please take a seat quickly."

While mocking, he also pretended to be generous.

Ye Qianning gave Nan Xiang a hand, and the **** led the two of them to sit down.

"Fang Fei, please get up too. After today's flower-viewing banquet is over, I will be punished by copying ten Buddhist scriptures."

"yes."

Concubine Fang stood up and returned to her seat with a look of grievance.

"It's already noon. It's hot outside. I've asked people to prepare lunch. After eating the meal, we can go to enjoy the flowers in the afternoon. What do you think?"

"The Queen has the final say."

"The Queen has the final say."

A series of sounds sounded.

The queen was satisfied and then looked at Ye Qianning: "What do you think, Miss Xiang?"

how?

What can be done?

Ye Qianning raised her eyebrows: "Will the Queen listen to me?"

The queen did not expect that she would ask back, and her smiling face became a little unhappy.

"How could the Queen listen to you?"

The old woman immediately scolded her.

"Then ask me why."

We've all decided, and if we insist on asking, we all seem to be kind.

“…”

The Queen secretly glared at Mammy, who immediately took two steps back. With just a few words, the Queen knew that Ye Qianning was not easy to handle.

Many of the concubines had met Ye Qianning and knew how arrogant she was when she was a child. She was very courageous as she dared to fight with the prince when the emperor and Concubine Yuan Gui were around.

Ten years have passed and my temper seems to be even stronger than when I was a child.

Those who are sensible naturally don't want to cause trouble by talking too much. There are also some concubines who have only been in the palace for a few years and are very dissatisfied with Ye Qianning.

The same goes for the officials' ladies, but due to the rumors that have been raging in the capital these days, they all know that Xiang Minghou is bloodthirsty and are somewhat afraid of Ye Qianning.

When some of the ladies from aristocratic families came, their parents had warned them not to cause trouble, otherwise they might end up similar to the Earl's Mansion.

Of course, there were also those who were jealous and dissatisfied. Staring at that perfect face, the hatred in their hearts deepened.

Especially Sang Zhen, who was sitting on the seat, stared at Ye Qianning with eyes so jealous that she was about to burst into flames.

Concubine Dong, who was sitting above her, looked frightened, fearing that Sang Zhen would bump into Ye Qianning mindlessly.

Nan Xiang glanced at the temporarily quiet palace, her lips almost closed. She had never seen such an interesting scene.

After a brief silence, the queen returned to her usual smile: "Miss Xiang's appearance is much the same as when she was a child, and her frank temperament has not changed at all."

Ye Qianning: "Thank you, the Queen."

“…”

"Come here, pass the meal."

The queen ordered.

Not long after the **** left, a group of palace maids came up with trays and placed them in front of each seat.

"Aren't you hungry? You happened to be in time to eat." Ye Qianning turned to Nanxiang and said.

'belch'

Nan Xiang burped in response.

“…”

"Can't eat anymore."

Somehow the smell of food reached her nose, and she had no appetite at all.

Ye Qianning also had little appetite. The four dishes, one soup, and a plate of pastries in front of her were quite rich, but the aroma of the pastries seemed a bit too strong.

"Everyone, enjoy your meal."

The queen picked up the chopsticks.

The concubines, princesses, and young ladies also picked up their chopsticks when they saw the queen moving her chopsticks.

For those who entered the palace early in the morning, their chests are so hungry that their backs are pressed against each other.

Ye Qianning took in all the people in the palace from the moment she entered the palace. She remembered how many concubines there were, including the princess seats.

Four royal princesses were present, the fourth princess Sang Le, the fifth princess Sang Zhen, the eleventh princess Sang Ling, and the twelfth princess Sang Lanyu.

Then there are the ladies from famous families, the young ladies from official families.

Several ladies who were in the jewelry store a few days ago were also there. Except for Guan Mengyan, the other few didn't dare to raise their heads.

"Miss Xiang's food is not to your liking." The queen asked with a smile.

"I already had my meal when I came here."

The queen nodded slightly and said something.

Someone in the harem can't sit still.

"No wonder Miss Xiang came so late. It turns out she had lunch." The speaker was a concubine sitting at the back.

Ye Qianning never looked at her.

The concubine received no response, and the quiet scene made her blush for a moment: "Miss Xiang, do you know that we all missed the flower viewing time because of you."

Ye Qianning raised her eyelids: "So?"

The concubine's face twitched, and she couldn't answer for a while.

"Ye Qianning, you don't even have a nationality now, why are you so arrogant?" Sang Zhen finally couldn't sit still.

Ye Qianning looked over after hearing the sound, then looked back: "Fifth princess, it's better not to speak, lest the ranking you just came up will be lost again." "Ye Qianning."

Sang Zhen stood up from her seat. What she hated the most was that others used her status as the fifth princess to make matters worse.

"The handicap in the black market has not yet been confiscated. After meeting the fifth princess today, I think I have to get back the money that kept the fifth princess safe. After all, according to the temperament of the fifth princess, she will not be safe." Ye Qianning sneered.

Nan Xiang raised her head and complained and stared at her as if she had received the signal. She had said that she would be prepared for the disaster.

"What kind of handicap, Ye Qianning, you..."

"Zhen'er." Concubine Dong couldn't sit still either.

Sang Zhen stamped her feet and looked at Concubine Dong, feeling aggrieved and angry: "Concubine, Ye Qianning is going too far."

"Today is a flower viewing banquet hosted by the Queen. You must not be rude." Concubine Dong said nothing and was not stupid.

The queen did not stop her, and the meaning was obvious. Ye Qianning was not an ordinary official lady, and she would do hundreds of harms and no good.

Sang Zhen stared hard for a few times and had to sit down.

"Queen, Zhen'er is ignorant and disturbing the Queen during her meal." Concubine Dong leaned over and saluted.

"It's okay. It's normal for children to quarrel in every house. These princesses are usually spoiled. Only Miss Xiang has not been afraid since she was a child. I still remember that she not only fought with Zhen'er and Shu'er, but also Even the prince was not spared." The queen smiled kindly, without any trace of blame.

"Haha, I remember it too."

Concubine Dong said and covered her mouth with a smile.

"I didn't expect that there would be such fun in the palace before." The fourth princess Sang Le said with a chuckle.

The daughter of Queen San Le, who is twenty-five this year, is already married, and today she is bringing her sister-in-law, who has just grown hair, into the palace to see the world.

"Yes, Miss Xiang was fearless when she was little. Together with Nan Xiang, the two of them were little bullies." The queen spoke helplessly and with a joking smile.

"Aunt Huang, why is it related to Xiang'er again?"

The Queen and several others looked over and laughed in unison.

Nan Xiang pursed his lips and hummed twice.

Ye Qianning's expression was indifferent and there was no big change. Ever since she entered the palace, she had always known that a line of sight staring closely at her was Sang Lanyu.

When she came in, she saw Concubine Zhan and the little man next to her at a glance, and nodded without any trace as a greeting.

Little Sang Lanyu was not as scheming as an adult. Her eyes were always fixed on Ye Qianning, her eyes full of surprise and joy.

"The Queen."

Guan Mengyan stood up from her seat.

The queen's smile did not stop: "What's the matter with Miss Guan?

"The Empress, I had some misunderstandings with Miss Xiang in the jewelry store a few days ago. I want to use today to make amends with Miss Xiang. I also ask for the Empress' permission." Guan Mengyan knelt down and kowtowed.

"That's right." The Queen also heard a little bit about what happened in the past few days.

"Thank you, Queen." Guan Mengyan stood up and returned to her seat, holding a cup and pouring a cup of tea, then stood up and walked in the direction of Ye Qianning.

Nan Xiang secretly pulled Ye Qianning's sleeve: "Guan Mengyan is famous for being narrow-minded. Those who come here are not good, so be careful."

"kindness."

Ye Qianning responded in a low voice, looking across the crowd.

Everyone knows Miss Guan's character, and many people have a look of pride and expectation in their eyes.

Guan Mengyan walked to Ye Qianning and leaned towards her: "Miss Xiang, it was my fault the past few days. Today, I am offering you tea instead of wine. Please forgive me, Miss Xiang."

She said, handing the cup in front of her.

"Miss Guan can make a lot of improvements if she realizes her mistakes." Ye Qianning glanced at her and almost raised the tea cup in front of her: "But I can't drink this tea."

Guan Mengyan moved her fingers holding the teacup: "Miss Xiang, will you not forgive me if I don't drink?"

"Miss Guan wants to apologize, so I just want to take a sip."

"Yes, I have apologized to the young lady, is it possible that I still hold on to her?"

"Miss Xiang..."

Guan Mengyan listened to the voice in her ears, her chubby face was extremely aggrieved, as if Ye Qianning would cry the next second if she didn't drink.

Seeing this, the queen also smiled and said: "Miss Xiang, it is said that it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Please forgive Miss Guan."

Everyone said something to me. If Ye Qianning didn't drink this cup of tea, he would look ungrateful.

"Will Guan Mengyan apologize sincerely? Don't be kidding me. No one in the whole capital knows about her bad behavior. She may have some evil intentions." Nan Xiang rolled his eyes.

Guan Mengyan seemed to have been stepped on and felt even more aggrieved: "Princess, I have been really bad in the past. I knelt in the ancestral hall for two days a few days ago to figure it out. I really want to apologize to Miss Xiang."

She said, tears falling down.

As soon as Guan Mengyan shed tears, everyone in the palace realized that something was wrong with Ye Qianning.

Nan Xiang's frowning face was deformed.

"Are you sincerely apologizing?"

Ye Qianning asked softly among everyone's strange looks.

Guan Mengyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again: "Yes, please forgive me, Miss Xiang."

Ye Qianning stretched out her slender fingers to take the cup she had been holding for a long time, and brought it close to her mouth.

Guan Mengyan's eyes were fixed on the cup in her hand, and she could hardly hide the joy in her eyes. She raised her sleeves to try to cover the corners of Ana's mouth.

Just as she raised her wrist, the smile at the corner of her mouth stopped, and she watched helplessly as Ye Qianning's hand near her mouth stopped, and then the cup fell on the table.

"Miss Xiang, what does this mean?"

Ye Qianning put down the cup, raised his head and stared at her: "I am a person who always retaliates."

"Miss Xiang, what do you mean by this?" Guan Mengyan remained calm.

The people watching the show in the hall were also stunned. Is it necessary to retaliate?

Could it be that Ye Qianning had no intention of forgiving Guan Mengyan?

Just when everyone was confused, Ye Qianning stood up, waved his hand, grabbed Guan Mengyan's hair, pressed her head and hit her on the table.

"ah…"

Then there was a scream that was extremely harsh in the quiet hall.

Nan Xiang was also shocked and stood up immediately.

"Ah...Miss Xiang, what are you doing?"

"Someone is coming, someone is coming."

Everyone was shocked and stood up from their seats in a panic. The Queen was also shocked and was helped to stand up by her nanny.

Ye Qianning grabbed Guan Mengyan's hair and pulled it back before hitting her again.

"Ah... let me go, let me go... help me..."

The screams, mixed with the **** scenes, were extremely scary.

"Come, save Miss Guan." The queen panicked.

The guard outside the door came in, Yingge stood in front of him, raised his hand and slashed towards the guard.

As a first-class guard, even if she didn't have a knife in her hand, she didn't pay attention to the group of people in front of her.

No one expected that the people brought by Ye Qianning would actually get involved with the palace guards. Some official ladies were so scared that they hugged each other and trembled, for fear of being implicated.

"Someone comes and takes down Ye Qianning."

Sang Zhen was a little excited, but she was worried about finding some reason to deal with Ye Qianning, when she knocked on the door herself.

Yingge kicked several guards away and grabbed the sword from one of them.

The screams and commotion in the palace alarmed the soldiers outside the courtyard, and they rushed towards Fengyi Palace in large numbers.

"stop."

Concubine Zhan scolded, stepped forward and stood not far from Yingge.

When the guards saw Concubine Zhan approaching, they did not dare to move easily and only surrounded the people.

Ye Qianning ignored the messy scene and pressed Guan Mengyan's head until she fainted.
