Even Xianglian didn't know about Meng Zhuoer's seafood allergy.
Seafood is precious in the local area. Even if the original owner is the legitimate daughter of a famous family, she has been oppressed by Qin Meizhen for a long time. How can she eat such precious things.
However, Meng Zhuoer's allergy was not serious. Although he had a rash all over his body, it was almost gone within half a day after taking the medicine.
"It's really unlucky. I was in a bad mood before, and it's even worse now."
Meng Zhuoer looked in the mirror and was thankful that although the rash was all over her body, it didn't appear on her face.
"Fortunately, seafood is rare here, otherwise it would be very sad if you could see it but not eat it."
Karen said.
"That's not true. You are allergic to eating shrimps. You may not be allergic to eating hairy crabs and other fish."
"Why is this?" Xiang Lian couldn't understand.
"You don't understand even if I tell you."
Meng Zhuoer was too lazy to talk to her.
Later the housekeeper came to tell me that Meng Xiangyi was discussing business outside and would not come back for dinner.
According to contemporary rules, if the man in the family does not come back for dinner, the woman must stay in her own yard to eat and drink, and cannot go to the main table.
Meng Zhuoer couldn't understand many of the rules here, that is, her grandfather loved her, so she could eat at the table. If this were placed in other people's homes, she would not be worthy of being at the main table.
"You tell the kitchen to stop preparing. I'll go out to eat by myself."
The housekeeper was stunned and handed a gilded red post to Meng Zhuoer: "You want to go out to eat, but you have to enter the palace."
"ah?"
Meng Zhuoer looked stunned. She took the post from the butler's hand and found that it was actually an invitation from the palace.
It was Concubine Chu who invited her into the palace.
Meng Zhuoer was stunned: "Why is this still happening?"
Logically speaking, when entertaining guests for a meal, they must at least be prepared in advance. Even if it is an ordinary treat, the preparations must be made three days in advance. This means that people will arrive immediately... This is the first time Meng Zhuoer knows this.
But does this also show that Concubine Chu doesn't like her as her future daughter-in-law, so she doesn't even give her the basic respect.
These days, she has been trying to please Mr. and Mrs. Yao, intentionally or unintentionally, just to get them to agree to dissolve their marriage...
But after a busy life, Mrs. Yao liked her even more, but the dissolution of the engagement was still far away.
Maybe she could start from Concubine Chu.
"Miss, should we go or not?"
Even Karen found this post to be very abrupt.
"Go, of course you have to go."
This might be a good opportunity.
Meng Zhuoer even brought the letter of engagement from when she got married.
The letter of engagement is not considered a formal marriage, it is just an engagement. If the emperor issues an edict, there will really be no room for maneuver.
The queen died young, and Concubine Chu was in charge of the Golden Seal and could be considered the master of the harem.
Meng Zhuoer dressed up briefly and entered the palace. Concubine Chu asked her maid to wait at the door to lead the way.
When they went there this time, Meng Zhuoer thought that it was just her and Concubine Chu, and there would be a second prince, but unexpectedly, when they went there, there were many female relatives in Concubine Chu's Yilan Palace.
Most of these female relatives were about the same age as her, and their hairstyles were all loose. They should all be noble girls who had not left the boudoir.
Long before coming, Meng Zhuoer had thought that this might be a Hongmen Banquet. Regardless of what happened to Mr. Yao and his wife, Concubine Chu's son Yue Zhichen was indeed infamous because of her, and there was no way he would have no grudges in his heart.
They are all people in the circle, and the ladies of this age naturally know each other. Except for some quiet ladies, many of them are divided into two groups to play Cuju in the front yard.
When the two teams were having fun, the woman who was leading one of the teams suddenly turned pale when she saw Meng Zhuoer:
"Hey, we've already finished the banquet and Miss Meng is so late. What kind of finale is this? Do you think you can make a shining debut?"
Yao Hongwen sneered and walked forward, folding her hands across her chest, and behind her were some loser ladies who pointed at Meng Zhuoer.
Already finished eating?
Meng Zhuoer frowned. She arrived nearly half an hour early according to the banquet time.
It seems that this is really a Hongmen Banquet.
"Our lady is not..."
Xiang Lian wanted to speak for Meng Zhuo'er, but was stopped by Meng Zhuo'er.
"Since I was late, I didn't get to eat at the banquet. This is indeed my fault. I'll go and apologize to the noble concubine first."
Meng Zhuoer did not argue with them and walked directly towards the palace.
Yao Hongwen did not stop her, but the woman in green behind her blocked her way: "You can see the imperial concubine whenever you want. Who do you think you are?"
The woman blocking Meng Zhuoer's path is Yao Hongwen's close friend Jin Yumi.
Naturally, Jin Yumi's family background cannot be compared with Yao Hongwen's, but her father is also an upstart in the current dynasty. He is very good at managing floods and is in the third rank.
Meng Zhuoer looked back, expecting the maid next to the imperial concubine to speak, but the maid had already disappeared.
She suddenly laughed.
Yes, this is the concubine's territory after all. As a guest, there is no reason for the host to watch the guests being embarrassed and causing trouble.
That can only mean that Concubine Chu tacitly approved of all this, otherwise Jin Yumi and the others would not dare.
If this is the case, Concubine Chu is really a petty person. No wonder she could give birth to a son like Yue Zhichen who is not in the mainstream.
"Then what do you want?" Meng Zhuoer was unfazed and faced the other party directly, "Why, do you still want to fight with me?"
Everyone was stunned, obviously not expecting Meng Zhuoer to be so rude when he opened his mouth to start a fight.
"It's true that you are born like a father but not a mother. You open your mouth and shut up just to get into a fight. Do you think your fists are anything special? There are so many people who are good at kung fu."
Yao Hongwen thought of the beating she had received before, and her anger remained.
Meng Zhuoer just looked at his fists with a smile, and was very perverse: "Haven't you experienced whether my kung fu is good or whether my fists are strong? But those bastards around you have never tried it, so why don't you tell them? Tell me, does this punch hurt?"
The other ladies were stunned and looked at each other.
Was the arrogant Yao Hongwen who co-wrote that movie ever beaten by Meng Zhuoer?
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't know what you are talking about." Yao Hongwen denied with a livid expression, feeling extremely ashamed in her heart.
She suddenly winked at Jin Yumi.
As her friend for more than ten years, Jin Yumi naturally understood this tacitly.
"Hey, sister Zhuo'er, why are you wearing such clothes? It shouldn't be new, right? And I looked at it as brocade, not brocade clothes. Why are you so petty? Do you have no money at home? Are you wearing this? Plant seeds.”
As she said this, she wanted to step forward and pull Meng Zhuoer's clothes.
Meng Zhuoer frowned, stepped back, and looked at the other party gloomily.
