Chapter 958 Queen's Banquet (1)
Xie Fanghua sat in Concubine Lin's inner room for half an hour. When it was dark, she put the box in her arms and walked out.

Concubine Lin, Jin Yan, and Yan Lan were chatting in the painting hall outside, and when they saw her come out, they smiled kindly, "Have the congratulatory gifts been counted?"

Xie Fanghua nodded, followed her and said, "The counting is done, the Empress Dowager Deci loves you so much, Fanghua will be remembered in my heart, thank you, Concubine Dowager."

Concubine Lin smiled and waved her hands, "Since it's done, since it's getting late, I won't keep you guys, go back and rest!"

Xie Fanghua nodded.

Jin Yan and Yan Lan stood up and said goodbye.

The old nanny who was serving Concubine Lin sent the three of them out of the bedroom, and then turned back, and the three of them walked all the way to De'an Palace.

Halfway there, two palace maids blocked the way and greeted the three of them.

Xie Fanghua took a look at the two maids, saw that they had the palace plaques of Yufu Palace and Yicui Palace on their bodies, and recognized them as people from Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen's palace.

"Miss Fanghua, this is a wedding gift from my mother-in-law." The maid who hung the palace plaque of Yufu Palace stepped forward and handed over a box, "My mother-in-law said that today I will be invited by the concubine, and tomorrow I will invite you." If you are invited by the queen, my mother will not invite you. Don't be too polite."

"Thank you, Concubine Shen!" Xie Fanghua took the box.

Another court lady also stepped forward, and also handed over a box, "Miss Fanghua, my mother said that courtesy is light and affection is important, Miss Fanghua, don't dislike it. I should have brought it to you in person, but it's getting late, no It was too convenient, so I sent my slaves here."

Xie Fanghua reached out to take it again, "Thank you, Concubine Liu!"

Seeing that she accepted it, the two maidservants bowed respectfully together, turned and left.

Xie Fanghua held these two boxes, which were lighter than the box given to her by the Empress Dowager Deci.She put it in her arms and continued to walk forward.

Jin Yan sighed, "It's not bad to go to the palace, I can receive gifts."

Yan Lan covered her mouth and smiled, and said to Jin Yan, "When you get married, you can also receive gifts, don't be envious."

Jin Yan glared at Yan Lan, "Which pot is not open, which pot do you carry? I am looking forward to my big marriage, but unfortunately, whether I can marry in this life, and whether I will marry the person I want, there are even a few people in front of me. There is no way to go."

"You are trapped in the jar now. When you jump out of the jar, you will feel that the world is far away, and men are nothing." Yan Lan said.

"You are so arrogant, you shouldn't be trapped in the Yongkang Marquis Mansion, you should go to the rivers and lakes to be a female knight." Jin Yan laughed immediately when she heard this.

"I didn't think so! There is no play in this life. I only have the kung fu of a three-legged cat. When I was a child, my brother practiced martial arts, and I also learned it for a while. Later, I couldn't bear the hardship. If I stopped learning, it would be useless. Now even a bad guy If I can't beat it, let alone go to the rivers and lakes to become a heroine." Yan Lan felt a little regretful, "If I knew it earlier, even if I suffered, I would still learn martial arts well."

Jin Yan laughed, "The life in the Jianghu is not as good as you imagined? It is said that blood is licked from the edge of the knife, and the wind eats and sleeps in the open. When the wind blows on your tender little face, it will dry out in a few days."

Yan Lan shivered for a moment, "I didn't think about it at first, I wanted to find a chivalrous man, marry him to Jianghu, some kind of village, some kind of family, some kind of pavilion, some kind of mountain, some kind of sect, according to what you said, let's forget it."

Jin Yan laughed, "Why didn't I find you so interesting before?"

"You are interesting too!" Yan Lan also laughed.

Xie Fanghua also found it funny listening to the two chatting like this, and looked at Yan Lan, "Although you are not good at martial arts, you are a three-legged cat, but you are good at riding and shooting."

"Eh? How do you know?" Yan Lan looked at her.

Xie Fanghua remembered that Qin Zheng took Tingyin to go hunting after returning to Beijing, and naturally saw her riding and shooting, but her identity as Tingyin had been burned with a fire. There are very few, she smiled, "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have heard it with my own ears."

Yan Lan was immediately proud, "Well, I put in a lot of hard work in riding and archery, and I learned from Lu Xueying at that time." Speaking of Lu Xueying, she suddenly said, "Since Lu Xueying married Qin Hao, I have never see her."

Jin Yan laughed when she heard the words, "Qin Hao is a scum in the royal family. He looks like a man on the outside, but he does things to torture women in private. I'm afraid she won't be able to get out of bed or leave the room every day."

"Are the rumors outside true?" Yan Lan asked immediately.

"There's nothing wrong with it, so you can't fake it." Jin Yan said, "It's a pity that Lu Xueying's stubborn temperament fell into Qin Hao's hands, and I'm afraid she was tortured and softened long ago."

Yan Lan said with some pity, "She is actually very nice. At that time, she liked Qin Zheng, like what, she was going crazy, but knowing that I also liked her, she was not too jealous, and regarded me as a sworn enemy. If it wasn't for the one called Tingyin..." When she said this, her words suddenly stopped, and she looked at Xie Fanghua.

Xie Fanghua didn't take it seriously, "Go ahead!"

Yan Lan looked at Xie Fanghua puzzledly, "You really don't care at all about Qin Zheng's maid listening to the music?"

"What's the use of caring?" Xie Fanghua said, "Everyone is dead."

"That's true! It's such a bad luck." Yan Lan felt sorry, but she suddenly felt something wrong, "No, she died too suddenly." After finishing speaking, she looked at her and asked in a low voice, "Did you treat her well?" Do you want to do it?"

Xie Fanghua laughed and asked, "What do you think?"

Yan Lan shook her head, "You know medical skills, and if you want to die, it's because you don't know it."

Xie Fanghua nodded when she heard the words, and said to her sincerely, "Yes, I killed her, so don't tell Qin Zheng."

Yan Lan immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief.

Jin Yan stretched out her hand and pushed Yan Lan, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Doctor Sun checked the pulse and said it was sudden death, which was sudden cardiac arrest. Although this kind of disease is rare, it is not uncommon. It is considered a strange disease. With her status as a loyal and brave lady of the Houfu, there is no need to attack a maid. What's more..." She looked at Xie Fanghua, "There is a kind of person who disdains to do this kind of thing against women, she is this kind of thing. She wants it It's a man's heart."

"You know me!" Xie Fanghua laughed.

Yan Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Xie Fanghua a dissatisfied look, "Is it fun to tease me?"

Xie Fanghua was helpless, what she said was true, Tingyin was indeed killed by her, but Tingyin was only her.

The three of them talked and returned to De'an Palace.

It was already late, the lights of De'an Palace were on, Chunlan stood at the door, seeing the three of them coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Aunt Lan? Why did you enter the palace?" Xie Fanghua was taken aback when she saw Chunlan.

"It was the concubine who asked me to come into the palace to see you and to give you a message." Seeing that Xie Fanghua looked good and everything was fine, Chunlan felt relieved, approached her, and lowered her voice, "The concubine said, the little prince will return home today." Now, everything is ready for the wedding in the palace. Let you stay in the palace and wait for the wedding. The next morning, when the auspicious time comes, the little prince will come to the palace to pick you up."
