The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Chapter 223 Palace Banquet

However, Su Tang wanted to rest, but someone didn't want her to rest in peace.

"How dare you! Is there any place in this palace that a princess like me cannot enter?!" A familiar voice came from outside the palace.

Xuanyuan Mengyao was outside the palace. She must have been stopped by the palace maid outside the palace.

Nowadays Xuanyuan Mengyao is not living a good life in the palace. Queen Xie has lost power and the Xie family has also fallen, although the Xie family has sent another woman into the palace.

But Xie Shuyi had been in the palace for so long, and she was only favored by Emperor Jing for a few days in the early days after entering the palace. Then she was frozen out by Emperor Jing again and no longer favored.

The Xie family's hope of sending their daughter back to regain their former glory was shattered.

There is no shortage of servants who can change their attitude according to the situation in the palace, so Xuanyuan Mengyao has been ostracized in the palace without the support of the Xie family.

At this time, she wanted to enter the side hall where Su Tang was staying, but the palace maid outside naturally could not let her in.

After all, Su Tang is the only princess who was personally conferred a title by Emperor Jing, and she is Emperor Jing’s favorite daughter.

"What are you guys doing standing here? Get out of the way. I'm tired and need to rest inside."

"Second Princess, you have your own palace in the palace, and it's not far from here. Wouldn't it be more comfortable for you to go back to your palace to rest?" The palace maid's voice sounded outside, without any respect in her tone.

"Ah!"

"Snapped!"

"Who do you think you are to teach me?!"

"Second Princess, the eldest princess is resting inside, you should go to another place..."

Before the maid could finish her words, another familiar voice rang out, "I have never seen a maid dare to block the princess's way. I think you have lost your mind while on duty in the palace. Come on, take this maid away. I don't believe it. This side hall is a place for everyone to rest. How can anyone occupy it alone..."

“Mmmm…” The palace maid outside seemed to have her mouth covered.

Chunmei and Xiamei, who were accompanying him in the hall, glanced at Su Tang.

Seeing that Su Tang didn't say anything, they had no choice but to continue standing beside Su Tang, but their eyes were always fixed on the direction of the gate.

With a bang, the palace door was kicked open. The loud noise forced Su Tang to look towards the palace door.

Xuanyuan Mengyao and Xie Shuyi entered the hall one after the other, and they immediately saw Su Tang leaning on the soft couch in the hall.

Xuanyuan Mengyao didn't feel anything just now because she didn't see Su Tang, but when she saw Su Tang looking at her, the bad memories from before suddenly came to her mind again.

Xuanyuan Mengyao paused and stood in the hall, not knowing whether to go in or turn around and leave.

"Why don't you leave?" Xie Shuyi, who followed Xuanyuan Mengyao in, almost bumped into Xuanyuan Mengyao's back. She looked at Xuanyuan Mengyao who was standing still and asked.

Xie Shuyi was originally just the second daughter in the Xie family. She had an older sister who loved to show off and always suppressed her. She was not close to Empress Xie and Xuanyuan Mengyao on weekdays.

So she was not aware of the embarrassing incident that Xuanyuan Mengyao had suffered at the hands of Su Tang before.

"I, I think..."

Before Xuanyuan Mengyao could say anything, Xie Shuyi pushed her, but Xuanyuan Mengyao's feet seemed to be rooted and she didn't move.

Seeing this, Xie Shuyi could only bypass Xuanyuan Mengyao and go towards Su Tang.

"Ah, I didn't expect the princess to be here. You shouldn't mind if we come in and rest for a while. The palace banquet is still..."

"I mind." Before Xie Shuyi could finish her words, Su Tang opened her red lips and confronted Xie Shuyi.

"It's quite spacious here. There is a soft couch over here. Second Princess, come and sit here for a while." After a long while, Xie Shuyi spoke again. She seemed not to have heard Su Tang's answer just now. She pointed to another soft couch in the room and turned back to say to Xuanyuan Mengyao.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Mengyao didn't move, Xie Shuyi walked back a few steps, pulled Xuanyuan Mengyao's sleeve and led her to the couch over there.

"I said I mind. Is Xie Shuyi deaf? How about I give Xie Shuyi two injections to heal her, so that you won't be unable to hear when your father talks to you in the future." Su Tang got up from the couch, and Chunmei stepped forward to help her.

Hearing Su Tang's words, Xuanyuan Mengyao shook her body subconsciously, stopped again, and took half a step back.

Xie Shuyi, who was holding her sleeve in front of her, had the sleeve slip away from her fingertips in an instant.

She looked back at Xuanyuan Mengyao in surprise and found that Xuanyuan Mengyao's face was pale, as if she had seen something terrible.

"Second Princess, you..."

Xuanyuan Mengyao didn't look at Xie Shuyi, she kept looking at Su Tang.

Every time Su Tang took a step forward, she took a step back.

Soon Su Tang walked in front of Xie Shuyi, and Xuanyuan Mengyao had already put a long distance between them.

"I, I remembered that the Empress Dowager still wants to talk to me about something. I, I'll go first..." Xuanyuan Mengyao took a few steps back, shaking her body. She suddenly turned around and ran out of the hall without waiting for Xie Shuyi to call her.

In the hall, only Xie Shuyi, who looked shocked, and a few palace maids around her were left.

The palace maids brought by Xuanyuan Mengyao had already left with them.

"What's going on?" Xie Shuyi muttered in confusion.

As soon as I turned around, a white hand suddenly appeared in front of me, but what was the object in that hand? !

A cold light flashed, and Xie Shuyi subconsciously wanted to dodge backwards, but her body seemed to be unable to move suddenly.

Only then did she see with horror what Su Tang was holding in her hand.

Needle, a long and thick needle!!

"You, what did you do? Why can't I move?" Xie Shuyi looked at the long needle in Su Tang's hand in horror.

The palace maids she brought with her were also subdued by Chunmei and Xiamei through acupuncture.

"Aren't you deaf? I'll treat you. As you know, I opened a clinic in Kyoto, specializing in treating difficult and complicated diseases. By the way, the clinic has been open for such a long time, and I haven't seen a single patient yet..."

Su Tang curled up the corners of her mouth, and the long needle in her hand dropped again, quickly piercing several major acupoints on Xie Shuyi's body.

Xie Shuyi felt as if she could not hear any sound. She saw Su Tang's lips opening and closing, but she could not hear Su Tang's voice.

She couldn't move her head at this moment, and could only look at the people around her. Those people seemed to be talking, but she couldn't hear anything.

"Oh, it turns out that Xie Shuyi is really deaf. Why is there no improvement after these injections?" The smile on Su Tang's lips became even bigger.

If she were to pretend that he couldn't hear her, she would make him really deaf for a few days.

"I, why can't I hear anything?!" Xie Shuyi shouted in horror.

Su Tang frowned. She only pierced the deafness of Xie Shuyi but did not seal her mute point, so Xie Shuyi's screams of fear were a little loud.

Su Tang took a few steps back and put the long needle in her hand back into the space.

"Let Xie Shuyi take this place first. I'll go take a look in the front." Su Tang gave Chunmei and the others a look. After Su Tang left the hall, Xia Mei instantly pressed the acupoints of the palace maids who followed Xie Shuyi.

Then she quickly caught up with Su Tang who had left earlier.

When he came out of the main hall, he saw chaos inside.

In addition to Xie Shuyi's shouting, there were also the exclamations of the palace maids.

Su Tang ignored those people.

Even if the imperial physician from the palace came, it would take several days for Xie Shuyi's deafness to heal.

At this time, Su Tang arrived outside the hall and looked not far away.

Over there, a little palace maid was tied up and pressed on the bluestone slab outside.

The two eunuchs who were escorting the palace maid saw Su Tang coming out of the hall, but did not see their master. They were stunned for a moment.

Then he took the palace maid and knelt down to pay his respects to Su Tang.

"Go and teach those two ungrateful people a lesson." Su Tang said to Chunmei.

Chunmei agreed, flashed to the side of the two eunuchs, and quickly kicked the two kneeling eunuchs away.

The two young eunuchs were no match for Chunmei, a martial artist. After being kicked away by Chunmei, they fell to the ground and coughed up blood.

Chunmei frowned, "You two servants are so bold that you actually dirty the floor of the palace."

After the two young eunuchs spit out blood, they were so frightened when they heard Chunmei's words that they immediately fainted.

"Useless trash." Chunmei glanced at the two eunuchs.

After making sure that the two people were really unconscious, Chunmei walked back to Su Tang.

"What's your name? Which palace are you from?" The palace maid who was being pinned down gained her freedom the moment the eunuch was kicked away.

However, she did not stand up immediately. Instead, she kowtowed to Su Tang and said, "Your servant Gu Lan thanks the Grand Princess."

"Reporting to the Grand Princess, I am just a maidservant and do not belong to any palace."

"Which palace were you in?" Su Tang asked the palace maid who was kneeling with her head down.

"I am a new maid who entered the palace this year."

Su Tang raised her eyebrows. She was actually a newcomer. But from the tone she used when she was talking to Xuanyuan Mengyao and the others just now, she didn't sound like a new palace maid.

Su Tang smiled. Every maid in this palace is not simple.

"Okay, get up. I'll talk to Eunuch Fu later and transfer you to a nice, quiet place."

Su Tang could not agree with the palace maid about where to go. After all, she was just a princess and could not interfere with the whereabouts of the palace maids, so as to avoid Emperor Jing thinking too much about her.

Besides, this palace maid Su Tang didn't know her background either.

"Thank you, Princess."

"You should leave here first." Su Tang sent her away because she was afraid that Xuanyuan Mengyao and Xie Shuyi would remember this palace maid and come to seek revenge on her.

Killing a palace maid in the palace is like crushing an ant.

Su Tang didn't know why this palace maid had just contradicted Xuanyuan Mengyao and the others, but she did stop the two of them outside.

After Su Tang finished speaking, she turned around and left, walking towards the palace banquet hall in front.

There was also a side hall next to the main hall for the palace banquet. When Su Tang came to the palace for the first banquet, Emperor Jing's children went there.

When Su Tang arrived at the side hall, she indeed saw many princes and princesses.

These people already knew Su Tang. After all, Su Tang was the only palace maid personally appointed by Emperor Jing, and the last palace banquet caused quite a stir.

There was no prince or palace maid in the palace who didn't have an informant in the palace, so not long after the last palace banquet was over, they also knew what happened at the banquet.

When they met Su Tang this time, several princes and princesses took the initiative to show their friendship to Su Tang and greeted her, "Eldest Sister."

"Well. Do whatever you want. Don't pay attention to me." Su Tang said to several princes and princesses with a smile.

Most of these princes and princesses have some shadow of Emperor Jing on their faces, unlike her, who looks exactly like Concubine Su, and not a single bit like Emperor Jing.

Su Tang found an empty seat and sat down casually. Soon a palace maid brought fruit to Su Tang.

Chunmei and Xiamei stood quietly behind Su Tang.

Ever since something happened to Su Tang at the last palace banquet, Emperor Jing allowed Su Tang to bring more palace maids with her when she entered the palace, but Su Tang only brought Chunmei and Xiamei with her every time.

After all, she has the ability to protect herself.

Soon the palace banquet began. Su Tang was already married, and this was a family banquet held in the palace for the New Year. In addition to the royal family members, there were only some close ministers of the emperor, so Su Tang could sit at the same table with Qi Lingheng.

"How was your day? Didn't anything happen to you?" Qi Lingheng picked up the fruit wine on the table and poured a glass for Su Tang.

Su Tang can drink a lot, and the alcohol content of this fruit wine is not high, so Qi Lingheng is not worried that she will get drunk.

"Nothing." Su Tang smiled and picked up the fruit wine poured by Qi Lingheng and drank some in small sips.

Xie Shuyi is not a concubine, so she has no right to participate in today's family dinner.

However, what surprised Su Tang was that she didn't see Xuanyuan Mengyao either.

Maybe she had a psychological trauma on her, otherwise she wouldn't have run away when she saw her just now.

Qi Lingheng looked at the smile on Su Tang's lips and finally felt relieved.

But he thought about it now. Su Tang had so many cards in her hand, and there were probably not many people in this world who could take advantage of her.

Anyway, among the people he knows now, no one is a match for Su Tang.

The family dinner soon became lively. Apart from some traditional performances from previous years, there was nothing special or new in the hall.

"By the way, why hasn't the princess from Northern Frontier arrived yet? Is she not coming?" Su Tang looked at the dancers dancing in the palace and suddenly thought of the princess from Northern Frontier.

"I don't know, but there has been no information from the Qi family army." At least the princess should not come this year.

"Today is a family dinner, and we are all family members. Why don't we each perform a talent?"

Just when Su Tang felt that the performance at the banquet was a bit boring, a woman's voice came from the side of Emperor Jing who was sitting on the throne.

Su Tang looked in the direction of the voice and heard Qi Lingheng's voice explaining, "That's Concubine Li, the mother of the Third Prince."

Su Tang remembered this woman. She only glanced at her once and then looked away.

Sure enough, the women in the palace couldn't survive without causing trouble.

The women in this palace were either driven crazy by the emperor or by their fellow female competitors.

Su Tang glanced at Qi Lingheng beside her again. If this man dared to take in other women in the future, she would definitely not stay with him.

Feeling Su Tang's 'death gaze', Qi Lingheng grabbed Su Tang's hand under the table and said, "There will never be another woman around my husband."

"I know you wouldn't dare." Su Tang replied with a smile.

"Yes, I'm afraid that the princess will kill me." Qi Lingheng stroked the soft flesh in his palm and whispered in Su Tang's ear.
