Tong Su was busy setting up the banquet, which didn't bother her body, but she was just tired from thinking.
Arranging a banquet is the greatest test of a person's overall planning ability. Fortunately, when she was Xi Tongsu in her previous life, she was the daughter of a wealthy family, and she had learned these things carefully in that life.
Now that I'm busy, it's pretty smooth.
The party time gradually came, and girls from various families came one after another, with fragrant clothes and beautiful smiles, saying hello to her, and the small venue became very lively for a while.
There were many faces that Tong didn't recognize. Fortunately, the maid carefully warned her in her ear. She didn't show any nervousness and received them gracefully. For a while, no one noticed.
Xiao Qingwan sat aside with a gloomy face, looking around the entrance.
On the eve of the banquet, she finally saw the figure of Prince Helian sneaking over. Her eyes lit up and she waved to her confidant maid.
This maid's name is Zhu Se. She was specially made to be filial to her after her rebirth. She is also the only person in the entire Xiao Mansion who knows that she and Xiao Baishu will exchange identities.
"Tell her that the eldest lady of the Wen family likes clam soup the most, and tell her not to forget to serve that soup!"
Zhu Se nodded, and when no one was paying attention, he quietly stepped forward and called Tong Su, giving his exact instructions.
Tong Su smiled and said: "Of course I won't forget it. Please go back and tell my sister. I will remember it."
Xiao Qingwan befriended all the rich and wealthy, and she had excellent taste, so she was naturally picky. However, when Tong Su greeted her, and bowls and plates of exquisitely presented dishes were served, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise.
I saw that the dishes were carefully arranged, the dishes were exquisite, and they were delicious and fragrant. There was nothing wrong with them.
"Qing Wan, I have long heard that you are good at cooking, but now I see that you are really clever."
"No, I'm still far behind."
After talking and laughing, Tong Su invited everyone to use chopsticks. At this moment, a loud laugh suddenly sounded at the door.
"You girls, please forgive me for coming here uninvited. I was passing by this place when I suddenly smelled the delicious food. My stomach was like a drum, and I shamelessly asked for a share of food. Please don't drive me away."
When everyone heard the sound, they looked up and saw a handsome young man with loving peach blossom eyes. Several girls raised their eyebrows and smiled, blushing and looking at Tong Su expectantly.
Tong Su stood up and said with a smile: "There is no big problem between men and women in this dynasty. If the prince is coming, it is natural. If you come, please invite the prince to take a seat."
"The Crown Prince, is he the Crown Prince of Zhenbei?"
"Is he Prince Helian? No wonder Jiansheng..."
The noble ladies turned sideways and whispered, looking at them with smiles from time to time.
Prince Helian also had no sense of restraint. He greeted all the noble ladies with a smile, praising this one for her beautiful clothes, that one for her exquisite beads and flowers, and her sweet mouth and handsome face, making everyone smile.
At this moment, a new dish happened to be served, which was a clam soup.
"Hey, what kind of good stuff is this? It smells fishy like seafood?"
Tong Su smiled and said: "This is sea clam soup. It is inconvenient to transport seafood, so it is best to bake and dry it before transporting it. The prince has lived in the northwest for a long time, so he may not have tasted this kind of dried seafood, so you might as well try it."
Prince Helian nodded when he heard this, scooped up a spoonful of it, and his eyes lit up: "It tastes very good! I..."
Before he could finish his words, his expression suddenly changed. He covered his mouth and fell back to the ground. He had fainted!
The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar and retreated in panic. The soup bowl was knocked over in the chaos. The whole room was in panic. Prince Helian's bodyguards rushed in with a livid face!
And just at this moment, a malicious scream sounded from behind the crowd.
"It's Xiao Qingwan! The prince was poisoned after drinking the soup she prepared!"
