Chapter 518: Cut the Gordian knot

Lady Yin was smiling and attentive, but Princess Kang Le’s face was stiff. If she could see her, she would have thought that someone was pulling her face to make a smile.

In the blink of an eye, Madam Yin’s smile turned cold. She turned around and whispered to Madam Yin beside her.

Princess Kang Le sat in front of the table and drank one cup after another.

Banquets in the harem were usually prepared with fruit wine. The alcohol content was low and would not go to the head unless one drank half a jar. It was really not that easy to get drunk. The only thing to prevent was that if someone who did not drink deeply drank too much and went crazy in the palace, it would be ugly.

With Princess Kangle’s drinking speed, she wouldn’t have to worry about half a jar.

It was difficult for others not to notice. Her face was written with the words

Tm not happy. I’m going to get drunk.’

He felt that…Things were about to go awry. Xiao Baoxin rubbed his stomach.

“Zhen: It’s just that the Ning County Lord is willing to marry Yuan Chen and want to marry into the Yuan family. That’s all.

“You’re pregnant, so stay away from her.”Mrs. Yuan reminded softly.

Xiao Baoxin nodded.” I saved it, Mother.””

Not long after, Madam Yin poured herself another cup of tea and raised her wine cup to toast Princess Kang Le. However, she saw that Princess Kang Le had gritted her teeth and turned her head away, pretending not to see it. The wine cup in her hand was smashed onto the table.

After that, Madam Yin whispered something to Princess Kang Le, causing her face to turn pale. She clenched her fists and turned around to look at Madam

Yin.

Xiao Baoxin’s position was the best observation point. He could see everything clearly, and the veins on his hands were exposed. If it wasn’t for his rationality, he would have punched him directly.

Mother Xie and Madam Yuan whispered,”

“Looks like these two are going to get married.”

Xiao Baoxin’s eyeballs were about to fall out. From what she saw, it didn’t look

like a marriage, but more like a feud.

If they all became in-laws like this, Jiankang City would probably be a mess.

“I think so too,” Mrs. Yuan agreed.”

Xiao Baoxin’s head was filled with question marks.

However, he did not ask. After all, there were too many people at the banquet.

If anyone heard it and spread it, it would seem that the Xie family was particular about people behind their backs.

It was impossible for them to pretend not to see what they had done at the banquet. Their movements were too big and their expressions were too meaningful. Just because the Xie family did not pay attention to them, it did not mean that others would not talk about it. Basically, most of the people at the banquet-as long as their eyes were fine and their vision was good, they could see that there was something going on.

Even the high and mighty Empress broke out in a cold sweat.

This was the first time that a concubine came to court to congratulate her, so she couldn’t let anyone mess it up. Seeing that everything was peaceful before, but a drunkard like Princess Kang Le suddenly appeared, Xiao Ning was afraid that this person would go crazy and mess up the court.

At this moment, Guo Shangyi whispered into the Empress ’ear,”

“The concubines have already seen the Empress and are listening to her teachings. Why don’t we stop here today?”

This was an hour earlier than expected.

Xiao Ning didn’t dare to imagine how much Princess Kang Le would drink at this speed. She didn’t believe that Princess Kang Le could hold her liquor.

This Princess Kang Le was the elder sister of the previous Emperor. Although they were not from the same mother, she could still be considered Emperor Yong Ping’s aunt. If she really became drunk and crazy, as a newly married daughter-in-law, even though she was the mother of a country, it would not be good to deal with Princess Kang Le openly. It was inevitable that people would say something about it.

However, Guo Shangyi’s words struck a chord in Xiao Ning’s heart. It was better to end it early than to cause trouble, so she nodded gently and agreed.

Guo Shangyi soon announced that the banquet was over.

Xiao Ning had to come out and say a few words to show her dignity, but these were all in the hearts of the people. No one grew up eating for free and didn’t understand reason. When she saw Princess Kang Le, she knew what was going on.

Empress Xiao didn’t want to stir up trouble. This was cutting the Gordian knot.

It was not until the banquet was over and everyone had taken their own ox carts parked outside the palace that Madam Wang said,

“I heard that a few days ago, about three or four days after sister-in-law’s birthday, Princess Kangle’s Shi Ning County Head and Yuan Chen were having a private meeting by the Qinhuai River. They were pulling and pulling, but their actions were somewhat intimate.

Mother Xie didn’t say anything.

Madam Yuan scoffed.” If you have the time to be so devious, isn’t it better to study hard?””He didn’t like his own nephew, who was too good at making connections at such a young age and was ambitious.

Ever since she was young, she had been trying to get into a good fight with Xie Xian. Madam Yuan was always paying attention to her son’s mother, so how could she not see it?

Yuan Chen’s talent was not enough to support his desires, so he repeatedly sought help from the outside world.

Even so, he could not compare to his son.

From the looks of it, Yuan Chen had found a way to hook up with the Ning County Head. As for whether the news was spread by him or someone else, it was unknown. Anyway, the marriage with Princess Kangle’s family should be close. Otherwise, Lady Yin would not have acted in such a manner during the banquet.

No wonder the Shi Ning County Head didn’t attend. It was probably because this matter had spread like the wind. The little lady was so shy that she was hiding here.

“What’s the point of a marriage that you’re unwilling to get into?”Mother Xie shook her head.

There was no need for Princess Kang Le to say it, it was all on her face.

After all, it was her mother-in-law’s family, so Xiao Baoxin could not say anything. Of course, she did not think highly of Yuan Chen. A good man like him had to put on makeup all day long, and it was even thicker than her makeup. With a shake, he could lose half a catty of makeup. He only wanted a false reputation all day long. Everyone was fake.

On the other hand, the wife of Shi Ning County Master had fallen into the hands of this guy for two lifetimes.

In her previous life, she had married into the Zhou family. Now that the Zhou family had fallen, the marriage had been abandoned and ended up in Yuan Chen’s hands. It was a matter of mutual consent. Perhaps the two of them were happy and both of their wishes had been fulfilled.

“Don’t be so focused on other people’s business. We can’t talk too much.” Our little miss has also reached the age and should be prepared to get married. Madam Wang, you should also take care of yourself. Don’t keep staring at others. Take good care of the few at home.”

Madam Wang did not feel that her mother-in-law was angry at her at all. This was related to her daughter’s marriage, so she could not be careless.

“The Chu family is still inviting guests and hasn’t decided on a date yet. However…As for Seventh Lady…” Lady Wang glanced at Lady Yuan. What was the meaning of her words? They were all young ladies of the same age. Seventh Lady did not move. Was she prepared or not?

Madam Yuan did not even bat an eyelid.”Seventh Lady’s marriage is naturally arranged. Sister-in-law only needs to care about Second, Fourth and Fifth Niang.”

Madam Wang smiled.” I know what to do now that you’ve said so.”” Originally, he didn’t really want to prepare for the Seventh Lady’s marriage. Her fiance and future father-in-law had all left without a trace. Now, how could he prepare for her marriage?

It was just that Mother Xie had something to say, so Madam Wang had no choice but to ask. Otherwise, it would be her fault for neglecting the chief branch.

Madam Wang only thought about the words ‘Ah Lang has his own arrangements’ and found it amusing. This was the first time she heard that there was an old mother in the world and that she had to listen to her elder brother’s marriage…Sister-in-law was a mother, and she was also convinced that her son had become her god. She listened to her son for everything..
