The sick king dotes on the princess and the mad concubine

Chapter 18 18. Helping People
Jinxiufang is a shop engaged in silk fabrics and ready-made garments. It has only emerged in recent years. It is fashionable in style, unique in embroidery patterns, and supports full customization of unique clothing and hair accessories. It is almost all over the country, and more than half of the ladies and wives in Beijing customize clothes and accessories for each season here. Wearing the suits of Jinxiufang has almost become a fashion and fashion.

Just as Yin Jieyou and Liuli got off their horses, a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old happened to walk out of the door of Jinxiufang.

The girl was dressed in a light blue aristocratic lady's costume, her long hair was combed into a flying fairy bun, and a fine magnolia hairpin was inserted on top of the bun. The fringed tassels on the hairpin flickered, very eye-catching, with thin bangs It seems to be able to see the round forehead, and the smile on the corner of the lips is extremely pleasing to the eye. It can be seen that she should be a cheerful girl who loves to smile.

The simple old shopkeeper followed behind her and nodded from time to time, carefully writing down all the details of the explanation.

At this moment, a galloping carriage rushed past the gate of Jinxiufang.

The girl was startled, her face paled, and she fell over in a panic. The maid behind her turned pale from shock, and hurriedly reached out to save her, but fell into a ball in panic.

The passers-by around couldn't help opening their mouths wide. Behind the girl was the steps paved with bluestones. If the delicate skin and tender flesh of this body fell on the steps, what kind of injury would it cause? !
At this moment, Yin Jieyou lightly moved his toes, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the steps, able to support the girl who fell down.

The old shopkeeper was the first to come back to his senses, and hurried forward and said, "Miss Yao, are you okay?!"

Yao Lan shook her head, patted her chest with her plain hand, and looked at Yin Jieyou: "Thank you for saving me, miss."

Yin Jieyou nodded, without opening his mouth, he missed Yao Lan's body and entered Jinxiufang directly.

"Scared the slaves to death." Yao Lan's two maids confirmed that Yao Lan was not injured, and put their hearts in their stomachs, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Yao Lan smiled consolingly, "Fortunately, there was no danger, otherwise I wouldn't be able to enter the palace today."

The maid Jasmine glanced at the carriage that had disappeared without a trace, and frowned, "I don't know where the carriage came from. It went on such a rampage that it almost hurt someone, and I didn't stop to investigate."

"That's right." Lily said.

Yao Lan glanced at the carriage indifferently, and said, "Okay, let's go."

Jasmine Baihe had no choice but to shut up and helped Yao Lan to leave.Yao Lan moved her lotus steps a few times, then suddenly turned her head to look at Jinxiufang behind her, and thought for a while, who is the girl who saved her just now?

In the inner room of Jinxiufang, the face of the old shopkeeper lost its plainness and replaced it with a steady one.

"This is the movement of various places these days, please check the master."

"Hmm." Yin Jieyou took a sip of his tea and asked casually, "Whose lady was that just now?"

The old shopkeeper smiled and said: "Coincidentally, the girl the master rescued is the younger sister of the current empress, Yao Lan, the second lady of the left minister Yao's family. She ordered some things a few days ago, and she came here to pick them up today."

"Oh? It's her."

"Although this second young lady is a concubine, she has a very good temperament. She is also very popular with the right minister and the empress. She has always been by the bridesmaid's side since she was a child."

Yin Jieyou nodded. When talking about the queen, she remembered that the little eunuch had delivered an oral order a few days ago, saying that the canonization ceremony was to be held, and the queen's summons was usually sent out as a framed post. This oral order was strangely tight...

Suddenly, the door curtain was raised, "Master, Steward Feibai is here."

After finishing speaking, Fei Bai, who was dressed in gray, also walked in, followed by two maidservants in green clothes.Yin Jieyou's expression softened slightly, and when he was about to speak, he heard Feibai say, "Master, please change clothes quickly and enter the palace."

Yin Jieyou frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "What's wrong?"

"Master Nalan sent the servants around me to tell you that the queen's banquet will be held tonight." Feibai said as he handed the embroidered bundle in the hand of the young maidservant in Tsing Yi to the wanderer, signaling her to serve Yin Jieyou immediately. Clothes, "the carriage, presents, and everything else, the subordinates have prepared for the master."

Yin Jie's heart sank in worry, the little eunuch who came to deliver the oral order was obviously not today, but now she has no time to think about other things, who would dare to neglect the queen's invitation to a banquet?Anyone with a heart can just charge her with a crime, and she can't bear it and walk away.

The carriages and horses were not stopping, and Yin Jieyou almost rushed to the gate of Donghua at the fastest speed, changed the carriage and entered the palace in a soft sedan.

Inside the Chengqing Hall, there was a staggering array of toasts and cups.

Today is the first time the Empress has invited a banquet since she became enthroned, and all the dignitaries and dignitaries from all walks of life in the capital, noble ladies and wives, are here. And gorgeous, graceful and majestic like a national beauty peony, but also exuding a cold and noble air like a thousand years of ice, his eyes casually swept to the few vacant seats in the lower seat, not knowing what he was thinking.

The third princess, Yun Jieyu, was wearing a goose-yellow palace attire, with a hint of pride on her delicate and pretty face, "This princess of Yin Wang really doesn't know how to flatter her, and the queen's sister-in-law invited a banquet, but she didn't come for a long time."

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings began to whisper.

"Princess Yin Wang? Who is the princess Yin Wang who is so bold?"

"Don't you know that Princess Yin is the only seedling of Prince Yin's mansion, raised in Huaiyang Biezhuang."

"It is said that the Princess Yin is the fiancee of Prime Minister Nalan..."

"But even if it's a princess, it's a serious crime to belittle the queen. Besides, she's just a princess, and with the status of Prime Minister Nalan's fiancée, she shouldn't be so defiant..."

"Born in Biezhuang, she is expected to be a country girl. She has never seen the world at all. She once confronted the third princess face to face. Naturally, her education is poor. What's so unexpected about being late for the banquet?"

At this moment, a voice rang out. Although the words were straightforward, all the daughters of the family felt that what she said was indeed true.

"Everyone, don't make wild guesses. Maybe the Princess has something to delay." Wu Qianyun spoke softly, the smile on her lips remained the same, maintaining a dignified and elegant tone. The tone of her speech was also humble and friendly. .

Yun Jieyu frowned, "Your temperament of being considerate of others depends on who you are targeting, right? Is a wild girl like Yin Jieyou worthy of your smooth talk?"

Wu Qianyun smiled and spoke with a disapproving tone: "Princess... Princess Jieyou is the only princess in Yin Palace after all, and besides, she is also a very kind person."

Yun Jieyu couldn't stand Wu Qianyun speaking for Yin Jieyou, so he snorted and turned his head away.But the disgust towards Yin Jieyou deepened in his heart.

The queen who had been silent all this time said lightly: "What Qianyun said is, Xie Yu, you also have to restrain your temper. How can you say that they are all my sisters, how can you call them wild girls?"

Yun Jieyu bit his lower lip and said, "Yes, Xie Yu knows." But after saying this, he bit his lip reluctantly, and said angrily, "I don't know what kind of luck this Yin Jieyou has, Qianyun has always been kind, so it's okay to always say good things to her, Prime Minister Nalan and the queen's sister-in-law are also protecting her! Now even people like King Chen..."

The queen's quiet eyes flickered slightly: "Oh?"

Yun Jieyu sighed, not knowing whether it was on purpose or not: "I heard that King Chen was assassinated in the suburbs of Beijing a few days ago, and he seems to be injured."

　Tsk tsk, what Yun Jieyu said was really not a good one!
