Chapter 245 Princess' Birthday
The second princess' birthday is in a few days. Concubine Qi has put a lot of thought into organizing a grand banquet for her. It is more like choosing a husband for her than celebrating her birthday.
She invited many noble ladies from famous families and noble sons from official families, and also invited all the men she liked.
Ye Shiming, the legitimate son of Marquis Xuan, Xie Yongheng, the legitimate son of General Xie from the Cavalry Battalion outside the city, and Chu Jun, the legitimate grandson of King Chu, were all on the invitation list.
Even Shen Xue, the seldom-seen Princess of the County, was invited. Recently, the Emperor personally appointed her as the First Female Saint of Da Qi, placing her in charge of the entire Imperial Medical College.
Her younger brother was personally ordered by the Emperor to be the fourth prince's tutor, so his future was promising. She had now become a hot commodity in the entire aristocratic circle of the capital.
Su Mo came to the suburban medical school with the invitation. Shen Xue lived alone in a dormitory, and Su Yu and Su Luo lived in the next room.
"County Lady, this is an invitation sent by Concubine Qi to the Second Princess' birthday."
Shen Xue looked at the invitation in her hand, her brow furrowed, her heart hesitant. Her two previous experiences in the palace had left her with lingering fears. The sudden incidents were still vivid in her mind, leaving her with a slight fear of the palace.
However, Concubine Qi's invitation put her in a difficult position. Although she had given birth to a princess, she held a high position in the palace. Her father was the Minister of War, Zhuang Zhiyuan, and the young master of the Zhuang family had married the cousin of the Third Prince. If she didn't offend both the Zhuang and Ruan families and Concubine Qi, how would they get along in the future?
Su Mo saw her dilemma and comforted her softly, "County Lady, if you don't want to go, you don't have to. Even if the Third Prince is here, he won't force you."
Shen Xue shook her head. "Su Mo, the Imperial Concubine's invitation doesn't mean you can just go whenever you want and not go if you don't want. If I refuse today, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble in the future. Xiao Nan is still in the palace to accompany his studies, and he will definitely pursue a career in the government. I don't want him to be criticized."
Su Mo stopped talking. She knew Shen Xue was right, but was it really possible for her to enter the palace alone?
Shen Xue sighed, "But in this palace, there are calculations everywhere. I am just a small county lady. If I am not careful, I will become someone else's pawn."
"County Lady, I think it would be better for you to visit Concubine Hui and Concubine Lin before attending the Second Princess' banquet. It would be better for you to go to the banquet hall with them. We are inseparable, so I believe nothing will go wrong."
Shen Xue smiled bitterly after hearing this. "I hope so! When my elder sister was here, I didn't have to think about these things at all. She went to the capital alone and still managed to escape unscathed. She paved a smooth road for me, while I had to go through a bumpy road."
"County Princess, you've done a great job. Don't worry about what anyone thinks. There's no other woman like the princess in the entire Great Qi. Anyone who sees her will be filled with praise."
"The first batch of students recruited by the medical school have already been taught, and everyone has praised you highly. Everyone has their own strengths. You should learn from their strengths and overcome your weaknesses."
Shen Xue finally decided to go to the palace for the banquet.
She carefully prepared gifts and went to visit Concubine Hui and Concubine Lin as planned. After meeting the two concubines, they were very enthusiastic and took Shen Xue's hand to ask about her well-being.
Along the way, the three of them traveled together.
Entering the banquet hall, it was already bustling with activity. Everyone looked at Shen Xue with different eyes, filled with jealousy, as they saw her coming with Concubine Hui and Concubine Lin.
The second princess was wearing a pink long dress with exquisite flowers embroidered on the hem. Her hair was combed into a high bun with a gold hairpin on it, making her look particularly beautiful.
Shen Xue tried her best to remain calm and bowed to Concubine Qi and the Second Princess to wish them a happy birthday.
At this time, Concubine Rong and Concubine He (the former Concubine He who was demoted to a concubine) came over with their palace maids.
Concubine Rong was wearing a gorgeous palace dress with her skirt swaying gracefully and a confident smile on her face.
After being demoted to a concubine, Concubine He became much more depressed and no longer had the arrogance she had at the beginning.
But she hated Concubine Hui in her heart and always believed that it was Concubine Hui who instigated the servants to insist that she was the one who murdered her, but this time she was really wronged.
He turned his gaze to Shen Xue again. If she hadn't saved Concubine Hui, he wouldn't have fallen to this point. Her vicious eyes were frightening.
