Chapter 33 Banquet
Jiang Xian slept very restlessly that night.

Even in the dream, the coughing never stopped.The whole person seemed to be soaked in half-cold and half-warm water, floating and dangling, tired and dizzy.

He vaguely heard that sentence again: As long as she plays the role of Ye Hexuan well, she can come back from the dead.

Back from the dead...is it really possible?

Jiang Xian frowned, and wanted to open her mouth to ask, but couldn't make any sound.

Qin Yanfeng was a light sleeper, so he opened his eyes immediately.

By the dim candlelight, one could see the woman beside her struggling with her hands restlessly, with her eyes closed tightly and her face full of pain.

Ye Hexuan...was haunted by a nightmare?
Qin Yanfeng squinted his eyes to look at it, and couldn't help but wonder what she dreamed about.

"Snapped."

A hand suddenly stretched out and put it on Qin Yanfeng's right leg.

Jiang Xian turned over and finally felt more comfortable. She seemed to be catching driftwood in the water, and the chaotic dream suddenly fell into peace.

Looking at that slender hand, Qin Yanfeng always felt that the white skin was dazzling.The more he watched, the more irritable he became, he suddenly grabbed Jiang Xian's wrist and coldly shook it off.Hearing a "pa", her wrist hit the inner wall, Jiang Xian frowned in pain.

Qin Yanfeng felt guilty for a moment.

Fortunately, Jiang Xian fell into a deep sleep, she only shrank her wrists, and murmured a word indistinctly.

With sharp ears, Qin Yanfeng could clearly hear her saying "Jiang Yue".

... What is Jiangyue?
Qin Yanfeng glanced at Jiang Xian's sleeping face suspiciously.

With her eyes closed, she still had a beautiful and gentle look, which was completely different from the sharp and harsh grinning mouth in the previous life, as if they were two different people.

Has Ye Hexuan changed?
How can it be!

Qin Yanfeng shook his head and sneered.

Even though there was a discrepancy between this life and the previous life, Ye Hexuan's vicious face back then is still vivid in my memory.He will never fall into the hands of the same person twice!Maybe Ye Hexuan got some news from Ye Qin and deliberately put on a show.Thinking of this, Qin Yanfeng gave Jiang Xian a cold look in disgust, and fell asleep with his back on her clothes.

*
Jiang Xian was feeling weak all over.

When they woke up, Qin Yanfeng beside him had already left.According to Cui Nong, he went to play with Qin Suixing.

Mother Xu brought the medicine, stood by the bed, and said in a nonchalant way: "The eldest son is really, knowing that you fell into the water yesterday, he doesn't know how much he cares."

Jiang Xian held the white porcelain bowl, blew on the bitter brown medicinal soup, raised her eyes and smiled slightly, "I don't expect him to care about others like that."

When Mother Xu heard this, she felt even more distressed.

She watched Ye Hexuan grow up. Ye Hexuan was arrogant and domineering before she got married, but after marrying into Yuguo's mansion, she can be described as gentle, courteous and thrifty.Such a good girl, but no one cherishes her, as a servant, she can only worry by the side.

Jiang Xian took the medicine, and her pale cheeks slowly returned to a little rosy.In the afternoon, Princess Jiayun came to visit and discussed the summer banquet with her. Seeing that Jiang Xian only had a cough, she felt relieved.

The summer banquet is the highlight of "The Concubine's Empress".

Duan Wenchun, the heroine of the original book, was made things difficult by Princess Jiayun and Ye Hexuan in every possible way, but she resolved the crisis with her eloquence.Not only that, Duan Wenchun also met Qin Yanfeng for the first time here, which was the beginning of Qin Yan's deep-rooted style.After the summer banquet, Qin Suixing pursued Duan Wenchun relentlessly. When Duan Shilang learned of this, he ordered Duan Wenchun to take refuge in the countryside of Gunzhou for a while, which led to the unrivaled romance between Duan Wenchun and the seventh prince Liu Ning. ...

As for Ye Hexuan's plot against Duan Wenchun at the Summer Welcome Banquet...what does it have to do with her, Jiang Xian?
Jiang Xian had long been prepared to get out of the plot and just eat and drink in silence.

After a few days of rest, Jiang Xian almost recovered from her illness, but Qin Yanfeng was taken away by Doctor Du again.

According to Madam Xu, the two of them are most suitable for soaking in medicine jars.

Jiang Xian was noncommittal.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the summer banquet, everything was kept simple, the music troupe had started playing and singing early on, and the servants in the house were busy coming and going.

Princess Jiayun was worried about Jiang Xian's health and prevented her from showing her face.At any rate, bearing the name of the young lady of the Duke of Yu's mansion, Jiang Xian felt sorry, so she changed into a light purple dress with dark patterns of bat flowers and two hairpins with jade carvings and phoenix patterns, and led Cui Nong to the front yard help.

This time, all the female relatives from Beijing were here, and Jiang Xian didn't know any of them, so he just took the opportunity to get acquainted.

Everyone knew well that the ulterior motive of Princess Jiayun's summer welcome banquet was to choose a wife for the second son of Qin, so they all competed for beauty, with extremely gorgeous clothes and ingenious headwear.Jiang Xian glanced over and was almost dazzled.

At this moment, she saw a familiar face among the flowers.

The girl was wearing a pair-breasted peach red skirt, her hair was simply pulled up in a lily bun, and her eyes were as clear as obsidian on her round face.

"is her?"

Jiang Xian stood under a crabapple tree with a surprised expression, and had a vague guess about the girl's identity in her heart.

I like to read story books, have a carefree personality, and my surname is Duan...

The girl seemed to be aware of her gaze, and when she looked across the crowd, her eyes lit up and she was overjoyed.

"Sister ***! Why are you here?" Duan Wenchun ran over in three steps at a time.

"You're here too?" Jiang Xian smiled, and said bluntly, "To tell you the truth, my surname is not Jiang. My name is Ye Hexuan, have you ever heard of it?"

Of course Duan Wenchun knew.

Ye Qin's daughter, the secretary's young supervisor, married a big fool in Yuguo's mansion, and the news spread throughout the capital.After being stuck for a short time, Duan Wenchun understood everything.

"It turns out that you belong to Duke Yu's mansion..." Before he could finish speaking, someone behind him scolded displeasedly: "Duan Wenchun! What are you doing? The Princess is still waiting for us! don't go!"

Jiang Xian followed the prestige, and saw a bloated middle-aged woman and a young girl standing at the bottom of the steps, with cold eyebrows as if they were owed money.

Duan Wenchun stomped his feet, and said to Jiang Xian in a low voice: "This is my aunt and sister...Young Madam, let's not talk to you now, see you in the flower hall."

Jiang Xian knew that Duan Wenchun was oppressed by these two people, but as an outsider, it was really difficult for her to interfere.

Regardless of Duan Wenchun's current situation, she will be the happiest one in the end.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xian's eyes softened and she watched them leave.

Standing under the tree for a while, Cui Nong urged Jiang Xian to enter the house and take a seat when he saw the sun was growing.Jiang Xian really felt a little sunburned, so she walked along the corridor to the flower hall.

Princess Jiayun was chatting happily with a woman in the main seat, and the women in the room were in groups of threes and twos.Jiang Xian raised her skirt and crossed the threshold, and saluted Princess Jiayun and other elders, her clear and beautiful voice suddenly rang out, overwhelming the noise in the room, and all eyes fell on her in an instant.

——Well, that Ye Hexuan who married a fool.

The eyes are confused, including scrutiny, carefulness, pity, and gloating.

Jiang Xian looked at her nose and heart, and dealt with it calmly.

Princess Jiayun saw that she had taken care of her well today, and her complexion was even brighter. She felt that all the beauties in the house were not as beautiful as her own daughter-in-law.She was happy from the bottom of her heart, and hurriedly asked Jiang Xian to sit next to her, shook hands with her daughter-in-law, and began to introduce several well-known wives.

At the same time, Duan Wenchun's aunt beat him straight.

It turns out that Duan Wenchun was chatting with the young lady of Lord Yuguo just now, and I don't know if this young lady will hold a grudge because of her harsh tone just now?
Duan Wenchun's sister-in-law Duan Jinqiu laughed at this moment.

"I didn't expect Ye Hexuan to be quite good at putting on a show."

Duan Wenchun felt uncomfortable hearing this, and was about to refute, when his aunt stretched her neck and asked, "Qiu'er, do you know her?"

Duan Jinqiu said: "Mother, have you forgotten? When I was young, she and I went to the same girls' school. She took advantage of her poor health to show off her might in the girls' school, and no one dared to provoke her."

Duan Jinqiu is a wimpy master, but compared to Ye Hexuan, she is still far behind, and she was angry with her a lot back then.

Ye Hexuan's wickedness was clear and upright, her arrogance and domineering to the extreme.Even if Duan Jinqiu complained to his master, Ye Hexuan would still be able to get away with her own illness.

Duan Jinqiu laughed all night when he learned that she was married to a fool from Yuguo's mansion, his face turned sore.

"Really?" Duan's mother became interested, and asked about Ye Hexuan's trivial matters.

The two lowered their voices and whispered to each other.
