Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 128

Princess Baoning's mansion was full of joy and excitement.

In order to celebrate Princess Baoning's birthday, the head of the mansion arranged dancers early on. The princes and noble ladies present also tried their best to create a noisy atmosphere with various games suitable for gifted scholars and beauties.

However, Princess Baoning is not in a good mood, even very bad.

Because several of the guests she invited did not show up.

She didn't care if other people couldn't get to her, such as Li Wang and Zuo Xiang, she only invited them out of face, especially Rong Chuxiu.

As the emperor's right-hand man, Rong Chuxiu was busy with affairs, so naturally he didn't have so much time to wander around these boring banquet occasions every day, whether to attend or not depended entirely on whether he had enough time and his own mood.

But when Nan Xiang didn't come, Princess Baoning was a little unhappy.

The fourth daughter of the Qin family also didn't come, which made Princess Baoning feel that she was slapped in the face by a concubine—even though the Qin family was her uncle's family, she never paid attention to Qin Si, a concubine.

Especially when Qin Si fell in love with Nan Xiang, she wished she could get rid of Qin Si even more.

So Qin Si didn't come today, and Princess Baoning was very upset.

Taking a chance, Princess Baoning asked Qin Jingshu directly: "Cousin Jingshu, why didn't your fourth sister come?"

She specially prepared a special gift for Qin Si today, but she didn't come?
What a guts.

When Qin Jingshu heard this, she couldn't help being surprised: "What does the princess want her for?"

"Ben Gong sent her a message yesterday, asking her to come to attend the birthday banquet of Ben Gong today. Why didn't she come?" Princess Baoning said in a cold, questioning tone. Not small, dare not even give this princess face?"

Qin Jingshu was surprised.

Princess Baoning also sent a post to Qin Si?

She didn't know about this at all, and Qin Si never told her about it.When going out this morning, Qin Jingshu deliberately didn't call Qin Si, but just brought Qin Xue over, but she didn't expect Qin Si to get an invitation alone.

What kind of virtue and ability does she have? Not only did the former Gu Qingyi think highly of her, but even Princess Baoning looked at her differently?
A dim light flashed across her eyes, but Qin Jingshu's face remained calm: "Fourth sister accepted the post from the princess?"

"Cousin Jingshu doesn't know?" Princess Baoning frowned and looked at her dissatisfied, "You're not pretending to be stupid with me, are you?"

"Simei never mentioned it to me." Qin Jingshu shook her head, "That's why I didn't call her when I came, and Simei has always been difficult to get close to. Usually we don't see her face."

Difficult to get close to?

Princess Baoning felt as if she had heard a joke: "Could it be that she is more noble than this princess?"

Qin Jingshu was silent.

Qin Si's airs were indeed greater than that of the princess.

"His Royal Highness!" A maid hurried over and whispered something in Princess Baoning's ear.

Princess Baoning was slightly startled: "The emperor met last night—"

Before she finished speaking, she was startled suddenly, realizing that she almost slipped her mouth, and then suppressed the shock in her heart, and said lightly: "Is the news true?"

The maid nodded.

Princess Baoning's face changed slightly: "I know."

The maid bowed and stepped back.

Qin Jingshu knew what was going on with her reaction and what she had left to say.

Many ministers already knew about the emperor's assassination last night, and the Qin family was no exception, but it was obvious that Princess Baoning's residence was a bit slow in receiving the news.
