Xia Luotong saw that Princess Xu was trying to educate herself like an elder when they met, and she immediately smiled with unknown meaning.
"Does Concubine Side want to teach me?" She deliberately emphasized the word "side" in her words. Sure enough, the corners of Concubine Xu's mouth trembled, and she finally calmed down the expression on her face, but there were many The ladies and ladies all froze, obviously not expecting that she would dare to hint this directly.
Concubine Xu is just a side concubine. Even if she is given a jade certificate, she is just a higher-level concubine. If she is given a royal title, she cannot even be a common concubine, let alone be on par with the main concubine. Naturally He is also not qualified to teach the children of the royal concubine.
When Wu Zechen was still the crown prince, she was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks. Now that Wu Zechen is Prince An, she is even less qualified. Xia Luotong is the current Princess An. Regardless of her identity or status, she is not Mrs. Xu Zote. The concubine can be the object of preaching.
If Xia Luotong called Concubine Xu Side concubine, she might be able to say something based on her status as Prince Lao An's concubine, but it was a pity that Xia Luotong did not give her this opportunity at all.
Seeing the different expressions on everyone's face, Princess Xu was trying hard to maintain her expression. The smile on Xia Luotong's face gradually grew stronger, revealing a mysterious and elusive aura. Although it was not overwhelming, it made everyone He couldn't ignore her, let alone take his eyes away from her, as if no matter what she did or said, she would be the focus of the audience.
There was a moment of silence in the flower hall. Just when everyone had not recovered from the huge contrast between reality and rumors about Princess An, Xia Luotong continued: "Besides, this banquet is for Xu Side Concubine, you organized it. Although it was in the palace, I also came here after receiving the invitation. When preparing for the banquet, I didn’t even greet me. How come it is now that I want to accompany the guests? Woolen cloth?"
Xia Luotong's tone was soft and lazy, and his voice was not loud, but he fought back forcefully without any hint of weakness.
Is this really the rumored eldest daughter of the Xia family who has been raised in a villa in the countryside for seventeen years, not to mention that she has never set foot in the capital, and has never even seen her biological father, Mr. Xia?
At this time, not only the guests present, but also Concubine Xu Zong had such thoughts in her mind, because it was really difficult to connect the two!
That kind of strong self-confidence that shines from the inside out. Not only does he not feel inferior because of his origin, but he also calmly speaks out in front of so many ladies and gentlemen in the capital. This magnanimity alone probably makes most of the people here feel uncomfortable. Not comparable.
Although some ladies and ladies had seen the real appearance of Xia Luotong, Princess An at the wedding banquet of Xia Mansion before, but after all, they were only a few, and most of them had good relations or had some contacts with Xia Mansion. In addition to the fact that Concubine Xu Tong has a high vision and invites family members of high-ranking officials, not many people at this banquet have seen Xia Luotong.
Regarding Xia Luotong's appearance being so different from the rumors, Princess Xu was inevitably suspicious. She didn't know whether this woman was fake or real. However, she held a banquet today to invite her over, in order to find out more about this woman. At the end of the day, many of the guests here must also have such plans.
"Although the message was given to the princess, it is still a banquet hosted by our palace. We are all one family, how can we separate you and me?" Concubine Xu Bian replied without giving in, although she still had a smile on her face. He smiled, but his eyes darkened.
"To be precise, it's Concubine Concubine who is hosting the banquet. After all, my prince didn't know about it at first. He didn't know until he received the invitation that Concubine Concubine was hosting the banquet. The West Courtyard didn't tell my prince either. Let's get over it." Xia Luotong didn't care at all about Concubine Xu's sharp eyes, and said calmly with a slight smile on her face.
Her words can be said to be quite straightforward. Today's banquet is not a banquet held in the name of the palace, but a banquet held in the name of Concubine Xu Concubine herself. Prince An did not know about this at first. Concubine Xu Concubine He didn't ask for his opinion. He didn't know about it until the banquet was decided and Prince An received the invitation.
There is no difference between the banquet at the palace and the banquet held by the concubine personally. However, now that the banquet has begun and all the guests have arrived, naturally it is hard to say anything more, but if you have any objections in your heart, you can't. And know it.
Moreover, there was a lot of information revealed in Xia Luotong's words. After everyone listened and thought about it, they all looked at him with profound meaning, and they were already preparing to inform their respective masters about this matter when they returned home.
It seems that the rift between the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard in Prince An's Mansion is quite big! Prince An seems not very satisfied with the West Courtyard?
Everyone knows that Prince An’s Mansion is what it is today. Otherwise, the old Prince An passed away seventeen years ago and the current Prince An collapsed when he was only eight years old. Today’s Prince An’s Mansion Both prestige and honor are greater than before, and this is all supported by Prince An alone.
Without the current Prince An, Wu Zechen, there would be no current Prince An's Mansion. This is a fact that everyone knows and recognizes.
As for Concubine Xu Bian in the West Courtyard, if she hadn't been active in the capital, who would have known that there was such a number one person?
Wu Zhengqing, the prince's concubine whom she gave birth to, is now twenty-one years old and still leads the imperial court as a sinecure. He has no commendable abilities at all. As for the concubine Wu Qingqing, the same is true. She is quite mediocre in all aspects. She only has a face similar to that of her mother, Concubine Xu Side. She is very beautiful, but she is already nineteen years old. Like her brother, she is still unmarried.
Some of the guests who came today were originally here for the two brothers and sisters. They are all at the right age for marriage. Besides, Prince An's palace is now at the height of its power. If they can get married, it will be a real dream. Climbed a big tree.
But the current situation...
People who had these thoughts retreated back one after another, preparing to wait and see again. After all, the three concubines in the west courtyard, the mother and the concubine Xu, would not be able to achieve anything without the support of Prince An, and they would not be able to bring success to the family. If it comes to profit, then it is not worth getting married.
"Look at what the princess said, how could the prince not know about such a big event in preparing for the banquet? Maybe he just didn't tell the princess." The look in Concubine Xu Side's eyes was already very ugly, but she was not that bad. He was easily provoked and lost his cool. He calmly moved the topic aside, reminding everyone of how Xia Luotong married into Prince An's Mansion, thereby making everyone doubt what Xia Luotong had just said.
