Chapter 105 Birthday Banquet 1
Xia Mengning looked at the situation on the field, whispered a few words to Jiu'er, and got up and left the front hall.
At night, Dai Yue lay in ** and fell asleep, and her arm scratched by Ning could not move. It was a quiet night, but Dai Yue suddenly heard a seemingly empty shout.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around, but it was empty. He secretly said that he was more careful. Dai Yue closed his eyes and continued to sleep, but the voice was getting closer and closer, as if it was close to his ear.
Dai Yue suddenly opened her eyes again, but saw a figure in white standing in front of her. Dai Yue was so scared that she wanted to shout, but somehow her voice was inexplicably blocked and she couldn't scream.
The figure in white just turned his back to Dai Yue, and suddenly laughed softly. Dai Yue stared at the man's back in horror and couldn't speak.
"Dai Yue, why did you kill me? Why did you kill me? I want to kill you..."
Dai Yue heard it clearly and suddenly fainted.
After the incident of the Ning family, Xia Mengyou looked like an idiot. She stayed in the house and refused to come out. At first, Xia Chuanyuan also felt a sense of shame in her heart, but over time, she gradually dispelled the idea. Regardless of it, she let her live and die.
Xia Mengning has been busy copying 18 Buddhist scriptures these days, just to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday.
I didn't expect that I was also among the invited group of people. Xia Mengning herself had no intention to join the fun, but once she was invited, if she didn't go, she was afraid that she would be criticized, so she prepared to copy the Buddhist scriptures and give them to the empress dowager. On the one hand, she kept a low profile, and on the other hand, she would not make people feel perfunctory.
The night was full of night. After bathing, Xia Mengning was sitting on the couch to hang her hair and reading a book. She heard footsteps hurried in. After a while, the curtain was lifted. Zhulian said, "Miss, go to Yong'an Hall and have a look."
Xia Mengning was stunned. Looking at Zhulian's expression, she knew that there must be something important. At present, she couldn't take care of anything else and hurriedly put on her clothes and rushed to Yong'an Hall.
When he entered the gate, he saw Xia Chuanyuan sitting on the top, Jiu'er and Wu Qing were also there. It was Dai Yue who was kneeling in the center.
"I've met my father!" Xia Meng Ning was blessed and asked, "What's going on?"
Jiu'er came up first and said, "Miss, I just saw Dai Yue burning something in the garden. As soon as I approached, I heard Dai Yue saying, "Don't kill me, don't kill me. I was about to leave, but I was dragged back by her."
Xia Mengning glanced at Dai Yue on the ground and saw that the other party was unconscious. Xia Chuanyuan said, "Just now, this girl didn't hit herself. She killed Yuyue."
Xia Mengning nodded, "Dad should tell everyone in the house as soon as possible to help my aunt wash away her grievances."
Back to Zhuzhiyuan, Wu Qing grinned and said, "How about it? Do I look like Yuyue? That girl was scared by me."
Xia Mengning smiled and shook her head without saying anything.
Jiu'er smiled and said, "Thanks to Wu Qing this time, if she hadn't pretended to be Yuyue to scare Dai Yue, how could she have come out so quickly?"
Xia Mengning nodded and said, "Ning is dead, and the house may be calm for a while, but Xia Zhishen and the fifth aunt are not fuel-efficient lamps. You should be careful."
Everyone nodded.
Two days later, it was the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Early in the morning, Xia Mengning got up to bathe and change her clothes and got on the carriage to the palace.
When they arrived at the palace, it was almost noon. Xia Mengning and Jiuer got off the carriage and were led to the royal garden in the palace by the girl. They said that they would send someone to call the luncheon.
Xia Mengning is dressed simply today. There are only a few trenches of golden embroidery patterns at the moon-white cuffs, and her whole body is extremely elegant.
There are many benches in the garden that can be used to rest at any time, and most of them have been filled with people. Xia Mengning tilted her head and said to Jiu'er, "Let's find a place to sit in the corner."
Jiu'er nodded and carefully helped Xia Mengning to the corner. Sure enough, there was no one here. Xia Mengning sat down. Jiu'er quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Xia Mengning's sweat. "Miss, how are you feeling?"
Xia Mengning nodded. When she went out in the morning, she happened to step on a stone and twisted her foot. After walking for a while, she was sweating a little.
Xia Mengning shook her head, "I don't know why I'm so careless today, but I don't think it's an accident. Jiuer, cheer up and don't fall into other people's traps."
Jiu'er nodded. Xia Mengning bent down and rubbed her ankles, only feeling a burst of pain.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her. Before Xia Mengning looked up, she heard a woman's voice saying, "I heard that the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet also invited you. I didn't believe it, but now I really see you."
Xia Mengning raised her head and saw the eldest grandson Xinyue in a red dress and the unchanging Dong Wanwan and Yu Ziran beside her.
Xia Mengning stood up in pain and saluted the two: "I've seen the princess, princess."
Yu Ziran looked at Xia Mengning's difficult look and was happy in his heart. He had failed many times before, but now he can finally see Xia Mengning's stern appearance.
"I said, why are you really here? Don't you think it's a shame? It's really funny that a concubine comes out and has the face to come to the palace. It's really funny."
Xia Mengning straightened up and saw that the speaker was Dong Wanwan. She laughed and said, "Miss Dong's words are so strange. The invitation is the empress dowager's personal intention. Is it that Miss Dong won't let the little girl come out? Even the empress dowager's mother has to listen. If so, the little girl can only go to say goodbye to the empress dowager. Mother, tell her that Miss Dong doesn't like the little girl to appear in the palace.
Dong Wanwan was angry, "You have always had sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and I don't have the same experience as you."
Xia Mengning smiled softly, "Miss Dong's export is a chapter, and the people who have talked to Miss Dong will never forget it."
Dong Wanwan couldn't tell that Xia Mengning was ridiculing her. Suddenly, her pretty face turned red and she stared at Xia Mengning fiercely.
Changsun Xinyue frowned. Since the last time she came back from the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, Sister Ziran has never showed a smile. She knew that it was all because of the attitude of her brother. Now again, Xia Mengning is really presumptuous. Even in front of her, she is so arrogant.
"Presumptuous!" Changsun Xinyue said, "Is Miss Xia regarded this princess as a dead person? How dare she shout in front of the princess? It's really against etiquette."
Xia Mengning is secretly angry in her heart. Is this going to suppress herself with power? Unfortunately, Xia Mengning is not a person who can be flattened. You are a princess, and she will give way to you, but if you force her again and again, you really can't stand it anymore.
"Princess, this is not good!" Xia Mengning raised her head and said, "Just now, the princess heard it clearly. It was Miss Dong who spoke loudly first, and the little girl just responded to a sentence. In addition, although the princess is precious as a princess, she does not have any title. According to reason, we are just at the same level. When talking in front of you, I'm afraid that the princess has no right to reprimand. Little girl!"
After saying this, Xia Mengning's eyes stared at the eldest grandson Xinyue in front of her. Seeing that the other party was tongue-tied, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Dong Wanwan crossed her waist and said, "Good Xia Mengning, how dare you contradict the princess. Let me teach you a lesson instead of the princess!"
With that, she actually swung her arm and was about to hit Xia Mengning. Xia Mengning did not care about Dong Wanwan's flower fists and embroidered legs. Her body was slightly crooked, and Dong Wanwan rushed to the air.
"Miss Dong really has the demeanor of a great family. The little girl has seen it!" Xia Mengning said and turned around and walked aside. Unexpectedly, Dong Wanwan chased and hit her again. Xia Mengning turned around. Although she avoided Dong Wanwan's hand, she did not adjust her steps. In addition, she sprained her ankle before, Xia Mengning couldn't stand up and fell to the ground.
