The seating arrangements for palace banquets are quite particular. Sit in order according to your rank and status. If you sit in a seat that you shouldn't sit in, you will be laughed at.

The Crown Princess, Princess Yan, and the two princesses sat at a table with Queen Xu. The concubines with higher status in the palace sat at a table, and the concubines with lower status automatically gathered together. The royal family members who came to the palace to see him sat at several seats, and the girls who followed the elders into the palace also sat at two seats each.

Ling Jingshu and Su Ying and Jiang Rongyue were familiar with each other and sat at the same table.

The dishes at the palace banquet were rich and exquisite, but no one was in the mood to eat and drink in the palace. Each of them took a few bites and then put down their chopsticks.

Today, Ling Jingshu made a big splash in Jiaofang Hall, and all the girls sitting at the same table looked over with curious eyes. Because they are not familiar with each other, it is inconvenient to ask.

Su Ying didn't have so many scruples and asked in a low voice: "Sister Ling, did you know anything about the Queen's intention to summon you to the palace?"

Ling Jingshu knew that she could not hide it from Su Ying, who was extremely smart, so she replied softly: "No. Yesterday, the eldest aunt accepted Feng's order and only said that she would call us into the palace. Unexpectedly, in the Jiaofang Palace today, the Queen would actually hint You want to invite me to the palace. Your Majesty is so kind. It would be too shameful for me to refuse."

Ling Jingshu's tone was very calm, and there was no trace of reluctance.

Su Ying's eyes showed a trace of sympathy and regret.

Being so "favored" by the Queen is not necessarily a good thing. Originally, she was pampered and pampered at home, but after entering the palace, even though she had the status of a female official, she was just serving people.

What's more, Queen Xu rules the Sixth Palace and has strict rules. Ling Jingshu was not familiar with the situation in the palace, so she was suddenly called into the palace. If she accidentally caused any trouble, it would be even worse.

These words should never be spoken in front of so many people. Su Ying gave Ling Jingshu a deep look: "Sister Ling, please take care of yourself in the future!"

Ling Jingshu smiled slightly: "Thank you, Sister Su, for reminding me. I will take good care of myself."

Ling Jingyan, who was sitting next to Ling Jingshu, bit her lip hard, and water quickly flashed in her eyes, which quickly disappeared again.

…

The atmosphere of the banquet was a little dull.

Seeing this, Jiang Rongyue smiled quickly and said, "By the way, I heard that the Queen is going to marry Princess Fumin. Do you know about this?"

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted. Even Ling Jingshu couldn't help but prick up her ears.

"Everyone knows that Princess Fumin is in love with Imperial Physician Wei. I heard that Princess Fumin once said that she will not marry anyone other than Imperial Physician Wei in the future!" A girl in a pink dress lowered her voice and laughed: "I don't know, Queen Who is the man that the empress wants to marry Princess Fumin? Has Princess Fumin ever got her wish? "

The girls sitting at the same table looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

There are many boudoir daughters who secretly admire Imperial Physician Wei, and Princess Fumin is the only one who dares to show it and clearly insists that she will not marry anyone other than Imperial Physician Wei.

Ling Jingshu twitched the corners of her lips when she heard this, and a sarcastic sneer flashed in her eyes.

Empress Xu has long regarded Wei Yan as her own, how can she tolerate Princess Fumin's admiration and entanglement with Wei Yan. I also knew that the man Empress Xu proposed to marry Princess Fumin could never be Wei Yan!

Sure enough, Jiang Rongyue laughed softly and said, "Don't say such nonsense in the future. It would be terrible if it reached the ears of Princess Fumin." After a pause, he said: "Feng's decree granting marriage. We haven’t arrived at the palace yet, so very few people know about it. I only heard about it from my mother occasionally.”

Everyone's appetite was whetted.

Su Ying couldn't help but ask: "Sister Jiang, please stop showing off. Which young master is the Queen going to marry Princess Fumin to?"

Jiang Rongyue smiled slowly, and after much effort, she announced the answer: "The other party is the eldest son of General Zhenxi."

What?

Everyone was shocked.

The general Zhenxi was brave and good at fighting, and commanded a hundred thousand troops stationed at the border. The stability and stability of the border areas for more than ten years are all attributed to General Zhenxi. The eldest son of General Zhenxi, judging from his family background, is indeed worthy of Princess Fumin.

But……

"So, doesn't Princess Fumin want to marry far away to the border?" Ling Jingyan blurted out in surprise: "The border is very desolate, it can't compare with the capital. Princess Fumin grew up in the capital, how could she be willing to do so? Marry far away?”

"Who says it's not the case!" Jiang Rongyue sighed softly: "I was also very surprised when I heard the news. However, since the Queen has spoken, I'm afraid this marriage will not be changed."

After a while, Jiang Rongyue lowered her voice and said: "I heard that Princess Fumin has been making trouble in the palace for several days. Today, Princess Rong came to the palace to see her, but she didn't even dare to bring her into the palace. Probably. I'm afraid that she will be impulsive and make a joke in the Jiaofang Palace to offend the Queen."

Although everyone didn't have much favorable impressions of Princess Fumin, they couldn't help but feel a bit sad and sympathetic after hearing about such a thing.

Imperial power is supreme!

Even if you are as noble as Princess Fumin, marriage matters cannot be decided by your own will. With a decree from Queen Xu, Princess Fumin could be sent to a strange place thousands of miles away.

After marrying far away, I am afraid that I will never return to the capital again in this life.

The girls whispered about the news that had not yet spread, and Princess Fumin was deeply saddened by it.

Ling Jingshu remained silent, and her eyes gradually became cold.

Queen Xu is indeed ruthless! As soon as he took action, the "love rival" was sent to the border. In fact, Wei Yan never had a good impression of Princess Fumin, let alone marry Princess Fumin. Even so, Queen Xu could not tolerate Princess Fumin's entanglement with Wei Yan.

Empress Xu regards Wei Yan as a forbidden love. Even if she can't get it, she will never let other women covet her.

Queen Xu held a high position and acted ruthlessly. It is extremely difficult for Wei Yan to escape from Queen Xu's clutches...

At this time, Ling Jingshu could not worry about her own fate of entering the palace, but she was worried about Wei Yan's future.

After the palace banquet, everyone got up and returned to the main hall of Jiaofang Hall.

Tables and chairs were set up in the main hall, and various refreshments and fruits were neatly placed on the tables. The musicians sat in the corner and played melodious music. In the middle of the main hall, there were already several dancers dancing to the music.

There were too many people in the main hall, so Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan naturally sat in the corner.

Ling Jingyan was not in the mood to enjoy the singing and dancing. She held Ling Jingshu's hand and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Ling Jingyan's heavy face, Ling Jingshu pretended to smile and comforted her: "Why do you look so sad? Why don't you smile when you are enjoying such a beautiful song and dance?"

Ling Jingyan rolled her eyes in confusion.

At this moment, there was a faint noise outside the palace door.
