Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 157 The Situation of the Palace Banquet
"However, it is already a great honor for you to be able to come to the palace banquet. Don't say that you are walking, you will come if you are crawling, ha ha."

No matter who hears this, it will not feel good, let alone in the public.Ning Guoan and the old lady were originally concerned about saving face, but they were afraid of each other's identities and couldn't bear it, so they could only grit their teeth secretly.

"Ning Erlan, look at your outfit today, you look like a nouveau riche, do you think Brother Ling will take a second look at you like this? You are dreaming!" Xiao Jinling sarcastically said something harsh. Throwing the curtain to speed up and walk away.

Many palace people passing by and people going to the palace banquet looked at them and discussed in low voices.

"Miss Xiao is the third younger sister who has a deep memory. I'm afraid she will hold grudges from the last palace banquet." Ning Qingyan looked at the carriage far away, and said in a voice that could only be heard by a few people.

"Hmph, I'm always a troublemaker. If you don't look at how much you are, can you afford to provoke the lady of the general's mansion? It's just that my Nenning mansion has lost face in front of outsiders." Ning Qing Yan's words reminded the old lady of the humiliation she suffered at the last palace banquet, and she blamed all these faults on Ning Erlan.I think she is the loser and hurt them.

"Mother, you are in the palace now, so you should be cautious in your words and deeds." Ning Guoan was also dissatisfied, but he knew that scolding at this time would only make more people laugh.

Hearing this, the old lady had no choice but to give up.

Ning Erlan lowered her eyes all the time and didn't care about it at all. The old lady has a deep grudge against her and always finds a reason to exclude her, so she just listens to it as a joke. .

Ning Shuangyu didn't speak along the way, and followed the crowd quietly all the time, with a very low sense of presence.

"Father said, Grandmother, Miss Xiao is also domineering, let's just ignore her." Ning Desheng, who had been missing all this time, started to speak for Ning Erlan, and smiled at her after speaking. .

Ning Erlan lowered her eyes and curled her lips in response.

It took less than half an hour to walk from the palace gate to Qiming Palace. By the time they got outside the gate of Qiming Palace, the body of the group was not so cold, and the amount of exercise was really big enough.

Dozens of palace lanterns made of luminous pearls are hung in the center of Qiming Palace, impregnating the palace with layers of faint white light. The palace banquet is held at night. Many palace lanterns were lit.

The top of the main hall was already filled with small tables, which almost took up half of the main hall. The position of the emperor and queen was located in the direction of the true north.

They came early, so there was no one in the hall. Under the leadership of the palace guards, they came to their seats and sat down.There is no doubt that their position is still in the last row, which is also the place farthest from the emperor.

"Our Ning family in Bianjing is considered to be reused by the emperor. Why are we still sitting in this forgotten corner?" The old lady complained in a low voice as soon as she sat down. Do your best and deserve what you deserve.

"Grandmother, it's a great honor to be able to attend the palace banquet." Ning Desheng quickly stopped the old lady's words. If someone with a heart heard this, their Ning Manor would have nothing good to eat.

Ning Guoan nodded in satisfaction. It seems that this son has really improved since he joined the Second Prince.

For such a palace banquet, what Ning Erlan has to do is to turn herself into an invisible person. Of course, she also hopes that others can treat her as invisible.

As time passed, more and more people came to Qiming Palace, and the palace gradually became lively.

"Miss, your tea is cold, please ask this servant to replace it with hot tea for you." A palace servant walked by and poured a cup of hot tea for her. Ning Erlan had no doubt that he was there, picked up the cup and smelled it After smelling it and noticing anything unusual, he took a few pecks before putting down the teacup.

"Third sister, elder brother got a piece of medicine jade a few days ago, which is very valuable and cost elder brother a lot of money. Eldest brother knows that third sister is good at medicine, and the man said that this jade can stimulate blood. Third younger sister will help elder brother to see if it really has this effect." " Ning Desheng walked to Ning Erlan's side and said in a low voice.

Since coming to Bianjing, Ning Erlan has hardly had any contact with Ning Desheng, so she naturally knows that his "can't" function has not been cured, but now he looks like he doesn't care about that aspect at all, Are you still playing jade?

Even if you don't want to, you can't just refuse. "I'm afraid that the third sister will disappoint my brother's expectations. The third sister has never understood jade, so I'm afraid she won't be able to see what's good about it."

"It's okay. The man said that the jade has been soaked in hundreds of precious medicinal materials for a long time. My sister just needs to smell it for me to see if it's real."

"Then you can take a look." Now that there are more and more people in the hall, if Ning Desheng continues to say this, it will naturally attract the attention of others, so he simply responded to him first.

Ning Desheng smiled when he heard the words, and took out a piece of blood-red jade from a sleeve pocket. The jade had not been carved, but it was so red that it was flawless and had a dazzling beauty.

She took the jade with an embroidered handkerchief, and it was warm to the touch. It was indeed a good piece of warm jade, and she put it on the tip of her nose to smell it.At the beginning, she didn't smell anything, but after smelling it a few times, she frowned. This jade can emit a very strange smell, but it's very faint. If you don't smell it carefully and repeatedly. It smells bad.

Ning Erlan sniffed it a few more times, but for a moment she couldn't tell what kind of medicine it was soaked in, so she put the jade back into Ning Desheng's hand. "Forgive me for my lack of knowledge, Third Sister, I don't know what precious medicinal materials this jade has soaked in."

Ning Desheng's eyes lit up after seeing Ning Erlan smelling the jade, and he reached out to catch the jade. "It's okay, it's okay, since my sister doesn't know about my elder brother, I'll ask others next time."

"Let my sister see what the elder brother is holding." Ning Shuangyu had been paying attention to the jade in Ning Desheng's hand just now. Ning Desheng took it in his hand, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it several times curiously, feeling warm and comfortable in the palm of his hand.

"Don't mess around." Ning Desheng snatched the jade back from Ning Shuangyu's hands in dissatisfaction, and followed Ning Guoan to say hello to those dignitaries.

Ning Shuangyu's eyes sank, and she squinted at Ning Erlan.During this period of time, she has been enduring it, but she was indeed attracted by that ruby ​​just now, so she did what she just did.

"It's still early, Second Sister and Third Sister, why don't we go and have a look in the garden outside. I heard that in order to hold a birthday banquet for the Empress today, the Emperor asked the flower house to put all the flowers raised in the garden. Here." Ning Qingyan stood up and invited the two of them to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers, she saw the flowers blooming in the garden when she first came in, and now going to look at them can also kill time.

The outer courtyard of Qiming Palace is very large, comparable to half of the imperial garden. Not only are there many artificial hills, but also a variety of blooming delicate flowers. It is indeed a beautiful landscape in this snowy winter day.There are also many white plums and red plums planted in the garden, which are already in full bloom at this time, the red is dazzling, and the white is pure.

"Yu Jiaoyan, you pushed people to this place and still don't admit it? Sure enough, she only knows how to wield knives and swords. How can she look like a young lady? Mrs. Pei Guogong knows that you are like this, and I am afraid that you will die of anger."

"My mother died of illness seven years ago, where did Mrs. Pei Guo come from!"

"Yeah, so it's normal for you motherless to not know the rules. You dare to treat your sister like this because you see her being a bully. If you let Duke Pei know about it, you won't take your skin off."

"you!"

Far away, Ning Erlan heard these conversations, and one of them was familiar to her. It can be imagined that the lady from the Peiguo Mansion is not eloquent.

"Then what happened, let's go and see." Ning Erlan heard that Ning Qingyan and others must have heard it, and before anyone could speak, Ning Qingyan walked over there first, with a still in her hand. Pull Ning Erlan.

Ning Erlan didn't want to join in the fun, but Ning Qingyan took her there anyway.

He wanted to break free from her hand, but he didn't want to be held tighter by Ning Qingyan. "The road is slippery on the snow, it's better for the elder sister to take the younger sister to walk."

The corner of Ning Erlan's lips curled up into a slight smile, and with a force on her hand, she broke her hand away from her. "My sister is not a child anymore, thank you for your trouble."

At this time, they had come to where those people were.

Ning Erlan raised her eyes and saw Princess Wenhua, a doctor in green palace attire, standing among the crowd, looking arrogantly at the woman across from her.

The dress on the woman opposite Princess Wenhua was different from the locks of other ladies. It was just a long light blue dress with a few plain white orchids embroidered on it, which was very peaceful. Only a jadeite hairpin and a silver hairpin are pinned.The woman's face is slightly round, her eyes are also round, her nose bridge is straight, her lips are plump and beautiful, and even her angry round eyes expression at this time makes Ning Erlan feel a little cute.

Just now she vaguely heard Princess Wenhua calling for Duke Pei Guo. Duke Pei Guo lost his wife seven years ago, and he restored the original concubine in less than a year. She thought that the person in front of Princess Wenhua who was against Princess Wenhua was Duke Pei Guo. The original woman, Yu Jiaoyan.

Ning Erlan also noticed that there was a delicate young lady standing behind Princess Wenhua, with tears of grievance on her face, looking at Yu Jiaoyan in fear, she really looked like she was used to being bullied by her fear.

"When did I bully her? It's none of my business that she accidentally fell in the snow?" Yu Jiaoyan stared angrily at the woman hiding behind Princess Wenhua with red eyes. .

"Sister, I'm sorry, it's all Rong'er's fault. It seems that this golden hairpin with red beads was given to my sister by my father. If I want to, I can tell my sister, so why push my sister here to grab it?"
