Chapter 577: Shame
Rong Wu had pestered Xia Zihan before. In order to see her, he went to the Chu residence again and again to cause trouble, but every time he was dismissed by Princess Qinghui.
When I saw her today, the look in her eyes was not very polite. The look in her eyes changed again and again, with resentment, grievance, resentment, and finally, the look that stared at Xia Zihan, as if Xia Zihan owed her something.
Facing Rong Wu's provocative gaze, Xia Zihan only smiled politely.
She was just a woman who coveted her Aqi, but she didn't take it seriously.
Neither Zhuo nor Xia Zihan were the kind of people who would put their hot faces on someone's cold ass. Princess Rong and her daughter did not give them a good look, and their expressions were cold and indifferent.
The scene instantly became a bit colder. The second princess didn't like Princess Rong very much, and her expression was not as happy as when she saw Zhuo. She just smiled and said hello, and a group of people entered the palace together.
The palace banquet was held in Fuyan Palace. After they entered the second palace gate, a little palace maid led them there.
When they arrived, there were already many married women in Fuyan Palace. Basically, Zhuo knew all of them, and some of them were very close to her on weekdays.
Mrs. Dou, Mrs. Li, and the ladies from her natal Li family have arrived.
As soon as the Zhuo family entered the door, they saw them. They looked at each other from a distance and nodded lightly to each other as a greeting. The Zhuo family was led to the front by the little palace maid to salute the queen.
The queen was sitting at the top, talking to Princess Zhengna, and she didn't know what she was talking about. The queen had a bright smile on her face and bursts of laughter from her mouth. She seemed very happy.
The second princess took the lead and led several people to bend down and salute the queen, "My wife, please give my regards to the queen. The queen is a thousand years old."
The queen didn't seem to see or hear, her eyes didn't even look this way, and she only focused on talking to Princess Zhengna.
Princess Zhengna pursed her lips in triumph, and glanced at Xia Zihan with her little eyes. She snorted a few times in her heart. Then, she continued to hold the queen's gaze, and the two of them chattered.
This bent body, no one dared to get up without the Queen's order.
And being humiliated by the Queen in public like this made several people's faces look bad.
The second princess's face turned dark immediately.
After all, she was also the queen's aunt and the emperor's biological aunt. Normally, even the emperor would have to give her three points of courtesy when he saw her, but she never expected that the queen would be so bold as to give her the favor in public at this time. Embarrassed, he snubbed her in public.
The second princess looked gloomy, looked up at the queen, and said louder, "Queen, I would like to send you my regards..."
This voice could be heard by almost everyone in the hall. The Queen seemed to have just discovered their existence at this time. She looked here and said, "Second Aunt, please stop being so polite. Someone, come here. The second princess added a chair.”
Then, he blamed himself again, "Look, it's all my fault. I was in the mood to talk to Princess Zhengna, and I saw the second aunt coming."
As for the Zhuo family, the queen seemed not to have seen it. She pulled the second princess and talked loudly for a long time, and then looked at the Zhuo family, "You guys also get up quickly. I'm inviting you to a banquet today. It’s a lively New Year, just treat it as a family dinner, you can’t be restrained.”
Family dinner?
Haha, in whose family dinner, the younger generation will deliberately neglect the elders and make others feel embarrassed?
Moreover, any one of these people's status is one of the best in the capital. The Queen actually embarrassed them in public. Where did this put the faces of the Second Princess, Princess Rong, and Princess Anjun?
"What the queen said is that there is a new atmosphere in the new year. Let's celebrate the new year just to be lively and festive." Princess Rong said with a smile.
Although she said polite words, she was complaining about the queen in her heart. She didn't know what the queen was doing today. She had given them a blow since then.
Hum...
The queen smiled, then asked the maid to bring a chair to Princess Rong, gave her a seat, and pulled Princess Rong with a smile on her face, talking endlessly.
As for the Zhuo family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, after the queen asked them to stand up, she completely ignored them, as if they didn't exist.
Zhuo and Xia Zihan stood in the middle. No matter how thick-skinned and calm-tempered they were, their faces became hot and they felt embarrassed when they received the curious glances from the ladies present.
But it was only for that moment that when the Queen ignored them, Zhuo had no intention of being slapped in the face by the Queen any more. She pulled Xia Zihan and quietly walked towards Madam Dou and the others.
After walking a few steps, I heard the Queen's voice, "Princess An, Princess Chu Yu, why don't you want to see me? I haven't seen Princess Chu Yu for a long time, and I miss you a little."
Xia Zihan heard that the queen was missing the word "two words" in her mouth, biting it very hard, as if she had some hatred.
hatred?
Why does the queen hate her?
Is there any interest between her and the queen? On the contrary, Chu Jingqi is still a popular person around the emperor and is his good brother. Normally, the queen should be courteous to her.
How could you hate it?
Xia Zihan turned around and saw the queen with a smile on her face, and Princess Zhengna sitting next to her with a hint of gloating at the corner of her mouth.
She thought about it and guessed that Princess Zhengna probably said something in front of the queen, which made the queen dislike her and deliberately embarrass them.
No matter what the Queen thought, since the Queen threw the ball, Xia Zihan had to reach out and catch it, unable to dodge.
The corners of Xia Zihan's mouth turned up, and he was sarcastic in his heart, but his face looked happy, "It's the New Year, and the queen is so busy, but she still thinks about my wife. I am deeply moved."
Mrs. Zhuo also said happily, "It is Ayu's blessing to be able to win the queen's attention."
The queen picked up the handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and called Xia Zihan to sit in front of her, "Chu Yu, come and sit down, sit next to me, and talk to me."
"Yes, Queen."
Xia Zihan walked over and sat beside Princess Zhengna.
The Queen really liked her as she said. As soon as she sat down, the Queen couldn't wait to hold her hand and asked with concern, "Did you not sleep well last night? You looked out of sorts and even had dark circles under your eyes." .”
She didn't sleep well at all. It was because she was kept up half the night by Chu Jingqi's guy. In the morning, she got up before dawn.
However, she had no shame to talk about this, so she had no choice but to follow the Queen's words, nodded and said, "I was so excited that I was going to enter the palace today and see the Queen Mother and the Queen, so I didn't sleep much."
The queen teased her, "Why are you acting like a village girl who has never seen the world and wants to go to the street?"
Then, he mentioned Princess Qinghui again, "I heard that Qinghui gave birth to a fat son, or is it the confinement son that you stayed at Chu House to serve?"
