Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 317 Ning Qing Runs Away (1)
"..."

Is there something like this in his head?
She squinted coldly, moved out of the bed, and said arrogantly, "Put my shoes on."

So His Royal Highness, the noble and precious Third Prince, squatted down obediently, and put on her shoes very gently, then stood up and helped her to sit down in front of the mirror, and personally combed her hair before going to the outside room.

Some servant girls came in with warm water for the princess to wash, and some servant girls put the breakfast on the table. After finishing these, they didn't stay here anymore, and retreated respectfully and carefully.

Duanmutian enjoyed his breakfast quietly, then suddenly sighed softly, and said: "New Year's Eve, what a wonderful day, but I have to go to the palace to make a fuss."

She has never had a good time in the palace to participate in such a palace banquet. The first time the queen mother was punished to kneel in the imperial garden, and the second time she celebrated the triumphant return of the dragon army, she was in a fight. Fortunately, she was no longer in the capital during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Continue to toss, and this New Year's Eve, I don't know what will happen again.

Jun Xiuran smiled as he listened, it was rare to see Tian Tian complaining like this.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Today's New Year's Eve is a family feast, and there are no courtiers and such messy people."

"Wouldn't that be more messy?"

Facing the women in the harem and the princes and concubines directly, she can already imagine what kind of swords and swords it will be without having to face it.

Facts have proved that her prediction is completely correct. Although there are fewer people, the protagonists of the battle are closer and face each other.

When they dragged their feet into the palace, it was already evening, and the two of them could basically be regarded as the last ones to arrive.

"Yo, the empress dowager was still talking about why the third highness and the princess haven't come yet. It seems that you two are the only ones who haven't come yet. Could it be that something important has delayed you?"

They just stepped into the door when Concubine Wan's words came to them, and they were still in mid-air, which first caused the air to make a "stinging" sound.

She is always so keen to be the one who stands out, as if holding her back for a while will kill her.

Jun Xiuran and his wife basically didn't even give her a little out of the corner of their eyes. They walked into the palace and saluted the emperor and queen mother who were sitting above: "Greetings to father and grandmother!"

"Get up, why are you two here so late? If it's any later, the banquet is about to start." The Emperor Jun sat leisurely on top, saying what seemed to be a reproach, but in fact there was not much surprise in his tone and demeanor .

Duanmutian lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and confessed softly: "Father, please forgive me. It's because my daughter-in-law is not feeling well. She took a rest in the afternoon and didn't want to sleep for several hours. Seeing that I was sleeping peacefully, the lord couldn't bear to wake me up, so It’s only at this hour that you enter the palace and keep your father and grandmother waiting for a long time, please punish me.”

"I heard that the third concubine went out of the mansion to chat with the people in the capital. I thought you were already in good health. So it turns out that you haven't recovered yet?"

Concubine Wan continued to speak unwillingly, Duanmutian finally looked at her sideways, and said: "In order to vindicate my mother's grievances, not to mention just being injured, she was dying of serious injuries. If I need to crawl, I should also crawl, don't you think?" Concubine Wan, don't you think so?"

Hey, why did you add that last sentence?Do you mean it?
The queen mother glanced at Concubine Wan without a trace, then looked at Duanmutian and said with a smile: "Don't stand there, go and sit next to me. After Tiantian returned to Beijing this time, Ai's family has never been able to see you. Well, seeing you today, you really lost a lot of weight."

"I should have entered the palace earlier to pay my respects to the imperial grandmother, but I did not enter the palace until today because of the many things that happened. Forgive me, the imperial grandmother."

"It's okay, such a serious thing happened, how could Aijia blame you for such a small thing? The most important thing is that you have to take care of your body. Now your body is not just you alone, it also depends on you. This is the descendant of our royal family."

"Yes, the granddaughter-in-law would like to follow the teachings of the emperor's grandmother."

During this conversation, the elders were kind and the younger generation were courteous, it looked like a harmonious and warm scene, those who didn't know it must think that Duanmutian, the granddaughter-in-law, was deeply loved and loved by the empress dowager.

Of course, in fact, it seems to have always been the case. At least the Empress Dowager has never expressed any dissatisfaction or difficulties for her. As for the deeper feelings, that doesn't seem to be very important.

The second prince, Jun Xiuyuan, was sitting opposite. At this moment, he was looking directly at Duanmu Tian without avoiding it. There seemed to be amazement in his eyes, but there was also a strange light shining in his eyes, as if he was jealous, coveted, or resentful.

Who would have thought that the ghost princess who had a huge ugly birthmark on her face would disappear without a trace in a blink of an eye, and become such a beautiful and beautiful woman?It was as if they had slapped hard on the faces of those who laughed at Jun Xiuran for facing such an ugly woman for the rest of their lives, and they couldn't fight back, but they couldn't help feeling jealous.

Really strange, right?It's kind of weird, isn't it?

Princess Duanmu was the most beautiful woman in Dayan back then, and Duanmu's family has been a monster since ancient times. The combination of these two parties gave birth to a daughter who looks like a ghost. This is unscientific!

In fact, this was really the second time most people present saw Duanmu Tian's face. After the first wave of fighting subsided, more and more people turned their attention to her face.

"Looking at the third concubine, I don't know why I'm not used to it. With such a beautiful face, why did you deliberately make it that way before?" Concubine Shu suddenly said with a smile, and then turned her head to look beside her. The emperor asked, "I don't know if the emperor knew the real appearance of the third concubine before? Speaking of which, the third concubine is really hidden. Before that, it seems that no one really knew."

Emperor Jun glanced at her upon hearing the words, that glance was very calm and indifferent, without any special meaning.

Then he looked at Duanmutian, with a slight smile in his eyes, and said: "I know something about this."

The smile on the corner of Concubine Shu's mouth froze suddenly, what?The emperor actually knew?
Duanmutian twitched the corner of his mouth secretly, not used to it?What are you not used to?By the way, have I met you many times before this?You got used to looking at my face with the hideous birthmark!

Jun Xiuran just sat beside her and laughed, not knowing what happy things he was thinking about, so he suddenly leaned over and whispered something in her ear.

Everyone present noticed this scene, and for some reason, they all fell silent for a moment inexplicably.

"What kind of whisper is this talking about? Ignore all the people around me, are there any rules?"

The Queen Mother smiled and spoke with a benevolent gesture and a charming smile, as if looking at a junior who was flirting in front of her eyes.
