Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 197 The Emperor's Birthday Banquet

Ning Erlan looked at Ma Ran who was bound and kneeling on the ground, her eyes moved slightly.

"My younger brother is ignorant, and he offended the princess with his words. Today, he is tied to the palace and asked the princess to let him go." Ma Cheng knelt on the ground and said righteously.

"Actually, Patriarch Ma can't blame Patriarch Ma for this matter. My younger brother also listened to what he shouldn't have. This concubine is not just someone who cares. Patriarch Ma should deal with him according to the Ma family's rules."

When Ma Cheng came, he thought about many possibilities, the most likely one was that Ning Erlan dealt with Ma Ran directly, and the other was to forgive him.But I don't want him to let me deal with it, it's not okay if it's too light, and it's not okay if it's too heavy.It made him difficult.Ben also wanted to use Ning Erlan's hands to get rid of this scourge.

Although he is a descendant, Ma Ran's mother has been favored by Master Ma for many years, and she also loves Ma Ran very much.Let him forget his identity.Most of the time, they don't take them seriously.Now that he has offended the new Concubine Ling, maybe he can use this matter to get rid of this unsightly thing.

Ning Erlan saw the flash in Ma Cheng's eyes, and knew what was going on in his mind.It is precisely because she knows that she will not deal with Ma Ran.

"The princess is kind, Caomin is here to thank the princess on behalf of my younger brother."

Ma Ran wanted to speak, but he couldn't say anything when he was pouted.He had no choice but to open his eyes and be taken away by Ma Cheng.

In Yan Pavilion, Lin Yanyan was asking the two stewards in the mansion how Ning Erlan's management was going during this period of time.

Xia Shuang opened the curtain and walked in, whispering a few words in her ear.She waved the steward back.

"She is smart. She knows that if Ma Ran is punished, the Ma family will be offended invisibly. Although the Ma family is a merchant, they have been doing business in Bianjing for several generations. It seems that this is not the case, but this foundation is even stronger than that of the Ning family. Be firm."

"It looks like a bit of a brain."

"It's nothing more than a little cleverness if you have a brain. How can a daughter from a small family be compared with the side concubine?"

Lin Yanyan looked sideways at Xia Shuang and said, "Your mouth is getting better at talking."

Time flies, and it's almost time for Emperor Zhaowu's birthday party.

Ning Erlan originally wanted to prepare some presents, but Chao said that Wei Lingxiao had already been prepared, so it would save her trouble if she didn't bother her.

After rejecting Wei Lingxiao that day on the boat, he never appeared again, and rarely went back to the palace, and he didn't see anyone for almost a month.

Ning Erlan's provoked mood also gradually calmed down.

"Princess, today is the emperor's birthday banquet. You are going to wear palace clothes." Xinyue took out the exquisite and luxurious palace clothes. There were six or seven pieces inside and out. Now it's summer again, can't you imagine Difficult to die from heat.

"Choose three pieces from the inside, the outside, and wear them. Don't you worry that I'll be suffocated if you wear so many upper bodies?" She also felt tired just thinking about the shiny golden headgear.

"Princess, this is a rule, you have to wear it..." Xinyue wondered.

That's all, fortunately, these clothes are light and thin, even if there are so many, they are not enough to suffocate her to death.

After everything was dressed neatly, Ning Erlan and his party came outside the gate of the mansion.There were already three carriages waiting there.Wei Lingxiao had already boarded the carriage.Lin Yanyan is also a well-known side concubine, so she is eligible to attend the banquet.

The three of them got into the carriage respectively and drove towards the palace.

The carriage drove straight into the three palace gates, and Xinchen helped Ning Erlan get off the carriage.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Wei Lingxiao in palace clothes.It's been a while since I saw him, but he looks thinner.

Wei Lingxiao's eyes drifted past Ning Erlan lightly, and then turned his eyes away very naturally.Go straight to the palace where the banquet is held.

From time to time on the road, officials came forward to say hello to Ann, and Wei Lingxiao responded indifferently to each of them.Didn't show any different emotions towards any one person.

"Prince Ling, Concubine Ling, I haven't seen you for quite some time." Wei Ziqiao, who was dressed in a clean and innocent prince's special palace uniform, said forward with a smile on her face.

Wei Lingxiao looked at Wei Ziqiao who was walking over and said, "Why don't you just go to the hall and come here?"

Wei Ziqiao unobtrusively turned her gaze back from Ning Erlan's body, and the smile on Junyi's face remained unchanged. "I was really bored inside, so I went out for a walk. I didn't want to meet King Ling and Princess Wang."

"Princess, long time no see, are you okay?" Although he warned himself to stay away from the woman in front of him, when she stood in front of him, he still couldn't help but want to get closer.

Infected by the sincere smile on Wei Ziqiao's face and the unfailing concern between her brows, Ning Erlan also showed a faint smile. "My concubine is fine. Please trouble the sixth prince to miss me."

"It's all the prince's credit if the princess is doing well." Wei Ziqiao turned around and looked at Wei Lingxiao and joked.He wanted to say a few more words to Ning Erlan, but he clearly felt two cold gazes behind him just now, so he hurriedly chatted.

Standing behind Ning Erlan, Lin Yanyan kept a decent smile, waiting for Wei Ziqiao to come up to greet him, but Wei Ziqiao didn't even look at her, completely ignoring her.As the concubine's daughter of the servant of the Ministry of War, and a famous woman in Bianjing with both talent and beauty, how could she ever be so neglected?
"My concubine remembers that in the past, the sixth prince liked to go to the suburbs to race horses, but now it is rare to see the sixth prince." Lin Yanyan's sudden interruption made Wei Ziqiao raise her eyebrows and immediately looked at her and said: "It turns out that it is Lin Fang Concubine, just now this palace didn't see the truth and was rude."

Then the big man stood in front of him and said he didn't see it!Doesn't this mean that she has a low sense of existence?
In an instant, cracks appeared in that perfect and decent smile.But it's just a little crack.

Wei Ziqiao walked beside Wei Lingxiao and said in a low voice: "My lord is truly blessed. There is such a lovely beauty by my side."

Wei Lingxiao didn't look at him. "It seems that you, the sixth prince, have finally realized the importance of marrying a concubine. This is just right. You can mention it to the emperor at today's banquet. I believe the emperor will be very willing to grant you."

Hearing this, Wei Ziqiao hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Farewell, I'm used to living a happy life, so don't say these words to embarrass me. It's better to be alone."

As soon as the group of people walked into the banquet hall, someone from the palace screamed, "Prince Ling, Concubine Ling, the sixth prince is here..."

Hearing the sound, the smile on Lin Yanyan's face who was following Ning Erlan couldn't hold back no matter what.The palace man didn't report her title at all, did he think that with the main concubine, she would be dispensable as a side concubine?
Think back when she was the only one to attend the palace banquet, those palace people didn't know how flattering and flattering they were, but now, Ning Erlan has become like this after only a few months!
She is not an impulsive person, let alone question that palace man foolishly. She is just a slave, and she has thousands of ways to make him die!

"I heard that envoys from other countries will come to congratulate the emperor on his birthday today."

"Now that the national power of Daqin is getting stronger day by day, they will naturally come."

The ministers who arrived first discussed in low voices.Ning Erlan just listened and sat quietly in her seat.

As soon as Ning Erlan sat down, she felt two eyes that were going to eat her up.Lifting his head slightly, he saw Xiao Jinling looking at him with hatred in his eyes.

Xiao Jinling had completely disappeared from her sight since what happened in the Ning Mansion last time.Wan Laoqi and the others received news that she was imprisoned in Xiao's mansion by the queen, and asked the nuns in the palace to teach the rules, and even ordered her not to step out of Xiao's mansion, and even gave her a marriage.Learning the rules was enough to kill her, Xiao Jinling didn't want to marry her and made a fuss for quite a while, which annoyed the queen.Just leave her alone and let her make trouble in Xiao's mansion.

I think Xiao Jinling has learned to behave better in the past few months, otherwise how could he come out to attend the palace banquet today?

"Xinxin to the concubine, the side concubine pays her respects." Ning Erlan looked at Lin Xinxin who bowed her head in a respectful greeting, and put down the teacup in her hand.

"So it's the concubine's younger sister, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Princess." Lin Xinxin got up and smiled, then stepped forward affectionately and came between the two.

"It's been a while since I saw my sister, and Xinxin misses her very much." Lin Xinxin said to Lin Yanyan coquettishly, and still remembered Ning Erlan after speaking. "Xinxin hasn't seen the concubine for quite a while, so she's thinking too hard."

"You girl, why are you so unruly, let go of the princess quickly." Lin Yanyan looked at Lin Xinxin and scolded softly.

Ning Erlan smiled lightly and said, "It's fine."

"Sister, it's fine. Xinxin and the concubine are friends, and the concubine won't mind." Ning Erlan looked at the smile on Lin Xinxin's face, which didn't seem to be fake at all, so she didn't say anything else.Lin Xinxin was also very happy to tell about the process of meeting Ning Erlan. Those who didn't know thought they were sisters who met in adversity.

Ning Erlan just smiled and remained silent.Looking at the two faces with a gentle smile and a cute smile, a word suddenly flashed in my mind, sisters.However, there is an embellishment before the word, snake and scorpion.

Femme fatale sisters.

The difference is that one likes to cover up himself with gentleness and decency, while the other likes to cover up his dark heart with ignorance and cuteness.

"My daughter, Yu Jiaoyan, is joining Princess Ling, side concubine." A familiar voice sounded in front of her, and Ning Erlan saw a familiar charming face when she turned her head.

"You don't need to be so polite, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Princess." Although Yu Jiaoyan has a bold temper, she knows the etiquette.Now that Ning Erlan's identity is different from before, she will not avoid it.

Lin Yanyan also looked at Yu Jiaoyan. "It turned out to be Miss Yu."

After a few polite words from several people, Ning Erlan went out to enjoy the flowers with an excuse and followed Yu Jiaoyan out of the hall.Ning Erlan could clearly see that as soon as she left, many young ladies surrounded them, and they all surrounded Lin Yanyan.

She didn't want to pay too much attention to these things. There were far more flowers blooming in midsummer than in winter. Seeing the lip color in the garden, she felt happy.
