[R18] Harem chaos (NP High H) – “Harem Chaos (NP High H)” 47. Uneasy Invitation [English]

“Since Sister Xin wants it, let’s drink it. But if it’s not good, don’t blame your sister.” Ling Qiaoer calmly took the wine glass and poured a glass for her.

In order to create the illusion of drunkenness, the drug in the wine is not strong, but rather chronic. However, once you are in a coma, you will not wake up unless you smell the antidote.

Ling Qiaoer made up her mind to wait until she and the two of them were in a daze, and then take the opportunity to let them smell the antidote. Then she would just say that the two of them were too drunk, so they could probably get away with it.

After all, it was just a drug, not a poison.

Lin Xiner picked up the wine glass, put it down to her nose and took a whiff, then narrowed her eyes slightly.

She put down the wine glass, looked at Ling Qiaoer and frowned: “The taste of this wine is a bit strange, it seems… not very clean. Forget it, I won’t drink it.”

After saying that, she turned to Xia Wanyan and said, “Meimei Xia, don’t drink anymore, be careful of diarrhea.”

Ling Qiaoer didn’t know whether she really smelled something different from the wine, or whether she was suspicious because of her guilty expression just now. However, it would save trouble if she didn’t drink, so she followed Lin Xiner’s words and said:

“Really? I have always kept this wine in the post house, and I didn’t take it with me when I entered the palace that day. Could it be that someone drank it secretly and poured some mixed wine into it? Fortunately, no one has touched this pot, otherwise I might really get a bad stomach.”

Ling Qiaoer put away the wine bottle and put the three wine glasses next to her: “Let’s just eat vegetables.”

Lin Xiner held the chopsticks, but did not pick up the food. She only looked around the room, shook her head, and after some polite remarks, she got straight to the point: “This house looks a bit old, shabby, and is still so small. I think Mei Xia’s is not much better. You two are princesses, so they are definitely not used to it, so why don’t you move to my place.”

“Moving to your place?”

Before Ling Qiaoer could answer, Xia Wanyuan intervened, contrary to her usual reserved and steady demeanor.

When she left the palace, Rufeng specifically reminded Guo Xia Wanyuan to be careful about that beautiful lady Lin.

However, Lin Xiner didn’t live in the post house, she just felt like the wind was worrying.

Knowing that Lin Xiner’s words came out of her mouth, Xia Wansheng finally became alert.

“We are the concubines of the harem, and we are only staying here temporarily because of the national mourning. There are also regulations in the palace. We are not allowed to move around at will. We can’t even go out through the gate of the post house. I’m afraid it’s unreasonable to move to your house.”

Xia Wanan’s words were quite reasonable, and Ling Qiaoer nodded.

“I’m afraid Lin Meiren has misunderstood. This is not my personal invitation, but the idea of the Ministry of Etiquette.”

“Ministry of Etiquette?”

“My father is the Minister of Etiquette, and you two have met. The Ministry of Etiquette is responsible for entertaining guests. The two sisters are distinguished guests from afar. They are unusual concubines, so they must be taken good care of. It was also my father’s negligence. I only learned yesterday that you two are actually sharing a house with others. Not only are you a low-level concubine, but there is also a man. How unbecoming is this.”

Lin Xin’er continued: “But this post house does not have a private courtyard for the two of them to live in. My father remembered that there are many vacant rooms in our house. Although it is not as good as the palace, it is much better than the post house, so he came up with this idea.”

These words were said so well that it was really hard to fault, and Xia Wansheng couldn’t think of any words to decline.

Ling Qiaoer nodded frequently after hearing this: “Okay, okay. I heard that the Shangshu Mansion has a nice view during that night’s banquet. It is quite famous in Beijing. I just wanted to take a look.”

“But…” Before Xia Wan could finish her words, Ling Qiao’er grabbed her arm again, “Sister Wan, go, go.”

Ling Qiaoer was not stupid. She knew that the so-called Ministry of Etiquette’s decision was probably due to Lin Xiner’s attention, and this invitation was definitely not really well-intentioned.But she knew that if she stayed here, Ling Xicheng might not be able to help but attack her at night.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to go to Shangshu Mansion.A dragon’s pond and a tiger’s den, I’m afraid it won’t be worse than it is now.

Xia Wanyuan really didn’t know how to refuse, but she didn’t forget the other princess: “What about Dai…where’s the concubine Dai?”

“Yes, my father said that since the two beauties are here, it’s natural for Concubine Dai to invite them as well.” Lin Xiner stood up and said, “Let’s go over together to say hello to Concubine Dai, and invite us by the way.”

The three of them came to the front yard, found Debis, and explained their purpose.Debbie refused immediately.

No matter what Lin Xiner said, Debis did not change her mind.

Debis had the highest position, and Lin Xiner couldn’t force it, so she had to return to Xiyuan with the two beauties.

After entering the hospital gate, Xia Wanan secretly called Ling Qiaoer and decided to stay.

But Ling Qiaoer had already decided to leave, and Xia Wanshen looked at the yard. On one side was a man, and on the other was a shameless concubine with a servant. She was embarrassed to stay alone, so she had to agree.

At that time, they were going back and forth, and after a delay, Lihua and Xiangming went out for shopping and had returned. The two princesses explained the reason and asked their maids to clean up and salute. Lin Xiner asked her personal maid to help, and they were done quickly.

Lin Xiner is a girl from the Zhen clan. Xia Wanshen originally thought that she, like Liu Cain’er, had a servant to serve her, but she didn’t expect that she was a maid.This was somewhat beyond her expectation, which made her feel less disgusted with Lin Xiner.

Ling Qiaoer had just stepped out of the room with her fragrant tea, but Ling Xicheng came over again: “Qiaoer, are you moving to Shangshu Mansion?”

Even if he has to leave soon, he may never see Ling Xicheng again.But at this moment, Ling Qiaoer still did not dare to offend the imperial brother, explained the reason, and emphasized that this was Qi Guo’s arrangement.

Regarding the major events between countries, Ling Xicheng did not dare to mess around, and nodded regretfully: “But fragrant tea…”

“Xiang Ming naturally wants to be with Qiao’er.” Ling Qiao’er pulled Xiang Ming over and held her hand in a very affectionate manner.

With outsiders present, Xiang Ming did not dare to have an attack, but clenched her fists fiercely.

The three of them got on the carriage and soon arrived at Shangshu Mansion.

Lin Shangshu and his family were already waiting at the door and enthusiastically welcomed the two princesses into the hall.

In the crowd, Xia Wanan saw a familiar face.

Is he?What is he?

Xia Wanan would never forget that face, because that man was the same man who appeared in the she room that day when she was drunk.

Why does he appear in her room?And why did it appear in Shangshu Mansion?who is he?Xia Wanan stopped and couldn’t help but look at the man.

Seeing he stop, Lin Xiner followed her gaze and asked, “Is Miss Xia looking at my second brother?”

“What? He is your second brother?” Xia Wanan’s eyes widened.

“Yes, his name is Lin Muwan, and he also works in the Ministry of Etiquette. Does Xia Meiren know him?”

Mu Wan, yes, it’s he.

But Xia Wanyuan shook her head. The meeting that day seemed both real and illusory, and she didn’t know how to explain it.

Seeing Xia Wanan bowing her head a little shyly, Lin Xiner turned her head and looked straight at her second brother.

Although Lin Muwan is her brother, he was not born from the same mother. His mother was a noble of the previous dynasty. He studied poetry and books with his mother since he was a child. He has an outstanding scholarly spirit, which is different from the children of the Zhen clan who are good at martial arts.

He is elegant, but not weak. He is tall and handsome. He is the husband of choice for many women in the capital.

It seems that Xia Wanyuan also has a good impression of him.

Lin Xiner narrowed her eyes, but she made up her mind.
