After Mammy Feng sent Tang Shishi and the others to Prince Jing's mansion, they would set off back to Beijing in a few days.
Mammy Feng, a woman in the deep palace, is naturally not a character, but what matters is that she is the person by the Queen Mother's side. Even if Feng mama was just a servant, she represented the queen mother when she left the palace.
Therefore, Zhao Chengjun personally hosted a banquet to see off Feng Mama and accompanying officials. In addition, all the subordinate officials and ministers of Xiping Mansion, as well as the prince Zhao Zixun, would all attend.
On the day of the banquet, the palace was busy very early, especially the ten beauties such as Tang Shishi, who were carefully dressed up, and each one was full of energy.
They are going to say goodbye to Mammy Feng today. After Mama Feng returns to Beijing, they will stay in the Jing Palace. In the future, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, the ups and downs of grace, all depends on one's own creation.
At the banquet, Tang Shishi also dressed up to attend. The ten beauties of them said that they were sent to serve King Jing, but no one could really let them do the work of serving others. Just like today's banquet, the maids of the palace were busy, and Tang Shishi lined up to stand in the hall.
Tang Shishi is naturally the well-deserved chief. She stood at the front, her waist was straight, her chin was slightly retracted, and her slender neck and beautiful face were exposed just right. She received scrutiny from all directions, and there was no evasion or cowardice in her expression. From childhood to adulthood, she had long been accustomed to others' attention to her appearance.
Instead, Master Tang was thinking about another thing. "Ren Yujun made a mistake and Zhou Shunhua solved the puzzle", what does this mean
Tang Shishi has been guessing for several nights, but she can't figure out what the "puzzle" is, but at least she can be sure that the next story is related to Ren Yujun and Zhou Shunhua. She made up her mind early this morning that no matter what happened next, she would follow Ren Yujun and Zhou Shunhua firmly.
With Tang Shishi's literary level, it would be impossible to cite scriptures and solve puzzles in front of Zhou Shunhua, so she had to be rough and cut off from the source. Today, no matter what Zhou Shunhua does, she will take it away, and she will never let the heroine emerge in front of the crowd.
Halfway through the banquet, the wine was in full swing, many people stood up to sober up, and the people serving in the hall were also messy, not as well-organized as at the beginning. Tang Shishi was called out to speak, and after she left, the other nine gathered in groups of three or five to whisper, and the formation soon dispersed.
Anyway, they are just putting on a facade, and there is nothing to do with them, they can move freely.
The beauties scattered in twos and threes, and no one was willing to go back on such occasions, but it would be very stupid to just stand here without doing anything. Ji Xinxian changed into a light red dress and wore a whole set of red jade heads on her head, which made her face look like a peach blossom, and she looked forward to the brilliance. Ji Xinxian listened with satisfaction as the girls surrounded her to flatter, she quietly raised her eyes and looked at the banquet not far away.
A screen separates the view from the inside and outside, and from the inside, only the figures on the screen can be seen walking around, staggered, and the lights are brilliant. King Jing showed his face and left, Zhao Zixun was the well-deserved focus of the audience. From the gap between the screens, I could see the prince Zhao Zixun sitting in his seat, chatting and laughing loudly with the people around him. The young man is high-spirited, handsome, and has a noble identity, which naturally attracts the attention of these girls.
Ji Xinxian seemed to be talking to her companions, but in fact, the corners of her eyes were always paying attention to Zhao Zixun's movements. She deliberately pretended not to care, occupying a corner like a proud swan, just to attract Zhao Zixun's attention. However, Ji Xinxian talked for a long time, but Zhao Zixun never looked back.
Ji Xinxian was a little disappointed, she turned to comfort herself, it was okay, the time was short, and the prince didn't know them yet. After a long time, the prince will know that she is fine.
Ji Xinxian had just finished thinking when she heard movement behind the screen. Many people turned around, and even Zhao Zixun glanced across the screen. Ji Xinxian looked forward and found that Tang Shishi came in.
Tang Shishi attracted a lot of attention along the way, but she didn't care. She stopped in the side hall and seemed to be looking for someone but couldn't find it. Everyone inside and outside is thinking, who is she looking for
Who has this honor, is she thinking about in her heart
Tang Shishi listened to Feng Ma's training, and when he came back, he found that the team was gone. She walked around in the side hall, but did not see Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun.
Tang Shishi frowned, a little anxious. She stopped in the center of the hall, and her eyes that looked around stopped following her.
The woman beside Ji Xinxian whispered, "What is she doing?"
"It seems to be looking for someone."
"Who is she looking for..."
Before the women could finish speaking, their voices suddenly dropped. Tang Shishi found Ji Xinxian and walked straight to Ji Xinxian. The women couldn't help but keep silent, watching Tang Shishi approaching, stopped two steps away, and asked, "Where are Zhou Shunhua and Ren Yujun?"
Tang Shishi came to talk to Ji Xinxian, and their place became the focus of attention, and even Zhao Zixun glanced at it vaguely.
Ji Xinxian's heart was sour and astringent, it was indescribable. She stood here for so long, and the prince didn't look back. She thought that the prince didn't notice anyone behind, but as soon as Tang Shishi came over, the prince noticed.
Ji Xinxian was in a bad mood, and her tone was firm: "I don't know. The two are the daughters of Gongqing, Jiao Buli Meng, how can I know their whereabouts."
Tang Shishi raised her eyebrows secretly, she knew she couldn't have expectations for Ji Xinxian. A woman next to him looked at Master Tang and said weakly, "Sister Ren seems to have gone out just now."
Tang Shishi looked at the woman who was speaking and asked, "Which direction did you go from?"
The woman pointed in a direction timidly, and Tang Shishi thanked him and quickly chased outside.
After Tang Shishi left, the invisible focus in the side hall also dissipated, and everyone resumed talking casually. The woman guiding the way looked at Tang Shishi's back, and when she turned around, she saw Ji Xinxian's face gloomy.
The woman asked cautiously, "Sister Ji, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Xinxian said with a cold face, "It's okay."
After Tang Shishi chased out from the banquet hall, he didn't walk long when he bumped into Ren Yujun and Zhou Shunhua on the corridor. Ren Yujun is wearing a long jade-colored jacket today, a purple pleated skirt, embroidered with pink wooden hibiscus on the front of the shirt, looking at the flowers from a distance, rich and bright. And Zhou Shunhua next to Ren Yujun was wearing a light blue jacket, which was much lighter in comparison.
Ren Yujun was holding a tray in his hand. He was talking to Zhou Shunhua intimately. When he saw Tang Shishi, the two slowed down one after another.
Ren Yujun stared at Master Tang vigilantly and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Tang Shishi quietly swept over the two men's clothes and laughed inwardly. They are really "good sisters". Everyone puts a lot of thought into their clothes. Ren Yujun wears extravagantly, and Zhou Shunhua highlights his elegance and sophistication.
It is indeed the sister flower of Yijie Jinlan.
Tang Shishi glanced at the things in their hands and asked, "What is this?"
"Sister Shaoyao suddenly has a stomachache, let us help her bring the wine in."
Deliver wine? Tang Shishi rolled his eyes and smelled some unusual breath. Naturally, the wine delivery must be sent to the banquet in front of you, which is an opportunity to show your face. Seeing that the banquet is about to end, the heroine's blockbuster opportunity may be now.
It would be better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. Tang Shishi instantly made up his mind, whether this time or not, she would cut off all the scenes where Zhou Shunhua showed his face, and would never give the heroine a chance to come forward. Tang Shishi smiled kindly and said, "It's really hard for you to bring such a heavy thing all the way. Give it to me."
How could Ren Yujun believe Tang Shishi's nonsense, she sneered, avoided Tang Shishi's hand, and said coldly: "Don't dare to bother Miss Tang. Miss Tang is a big celebrity now, who dares to bother you with this kind of rough work?"
Zhou Shunhua calmly tugged at Ren Yujun's clothes and whispered, "Let's go, the wine is going to be cold."
Ren Yujun glanced at Tang Shishi coldly, bypassed Tang Shishi, and walked quickly towards the banquet hall. Tang Shishi's hand was still in the air, she retracted her hand as if nothing had happened, turned around and walked two steps quickly, when she passed Ren Yujun, her shoulder swayed slightly, just bumped into Ren Yujun's arm.
Ren Yujun was unprepared, and the jug dumped immediately. Even if Ren Yujun stabilized the jug immediately, a lot of wine was poured out.
Ren Yujun was covered in drinks, and the new skirt she carefully prepared was ruined in an instant. Ren Yujun was stunned for a moment, then burst into anger: "Tang Shishi, you..."
Tang Shishi smiled and said, "Aiya, your skirt is dirty, so you can't see guests. It would be too rude to bring wine in front of you dressed like this."
Ren Yujun was so angry that he couldn't wait to tear up Tang Shishi: "You did it on purpose, I'm not finished with you!"
"Sister Ren!" Zhou Shunhua abruptly increased her tone, she grabbed Ren Yujun and quietly shook her head at Ren Yujun. Afterwards, Zhou Shunhua took the tray from Ren Yujun and said, "Sister Ren is inconvenient, so let me do the work for my sister."
Ren Yujun was slightly relaxed, yes, how could she forget, she still has Zhou Shunhua. Ren Yujun raised his head and looked at Tang Shishi proudly and provocatively.
Tang Shishi watched quietly as the two sisters were deeply in love, without saying anything, as if there was nothing to do about it. At this time, a little girl came out, holding a tray in her hand. Without warning, Tang Shishi took a teacup from the little maid's plate, and without looking at what was inside, poured it directly on Zhou Shunhua's dress.
Zhou Shunhua hurried back to hide, but was still splashed. Here is the remnant cold tea that has been replaced, and there are still tea leaves that have been brewed. The color is yellow to brown, and it is instantly soaked and dyed on the clothes into a big pool.
Zhou Shunhua's body was originally extremely elegant, but now it is stained with residual tea, like a black spot on a white porcelain embryo. Zhou Shunhua was stunned, Tang Shishi smiled slightly, put the teacup back in the hand of the little maid, and said calmly, "Now, it can't be done."
Ren Yujun was sluggish for a moment, and after reacting, he suddenly became angry: "Tang Shishi, you are too deceiving!"
If she is really a lady, Tang Shishi thought that Ren Yujun would call her a slut. The quarrel on their side is not small, and it has already attracted a lot of attention. Especially in the scene where Tang Shishi poured tea, he gasped in all directions.
The movement outside quickly alerted the people inside. Feng Ma was the first to drive out. She saw Tang Shishi, Zhou Shunhua, and Ren Yujun standing in the corridor. Feng mama sank her face and scolded: "What are you doing?"
As soon as Ren Yujun saw Feng mama, he immediately shouted aggrievedly: "Mama, you have to decide for us. I was entrusted by Shaoyao to go in and bring wine to the prince. We were walking well, but Tang Shishi didn't say a word. Wine was poured on my clothes. Sister Zhou wanted to help me, but she also poured dregs all over her body. Mammy, please do justice!"
Mammy Feng glanced at the three of them suspiciously, unable to believe that they would fight such a mentally retarded fight. Feng mama asked with a cold face, "Tang Shishi, what the hell is going on?"
Tang Shishi tilted her head, her neck was slender, like a proud and deserved white swan: "I just teach them the rules."
Before Mammy Feng could ask why she came, another person came out. Tongxiu walked out quickly and asked, "Why the noise?"
Mammy Feng heard Tongxiu's voice, glared at the three of them hard, and turned back to meet Tongxiu with a smile: "Nothing is in the way, the three of them are just joking."
Ren Yujun was not convinced, gritted his teeth and said, "It's clear that she deliberately picked things up!"
Zhou Shunhua hurried to pull Ren Yujun. Ren Yujun felt her sister's reminder, but she was still angry. Mammy Feng obviously wants to put things to rest. This is not the palace of Tang Shishi. Could it be that there is no justice in the world
Ren Yujun spoke, drawing everyone's attention. Feng mama kept winking at them and asked them to come forward. Tong Xiu stared at Ren Yujun's clothes, and suddenly said, "This clothes..."
Everyone was shocked, Ren Yujun immediately looked down at the hem of his clothes, and Tang Shishi also looked at Ren Yujun.
The jade-colored long jacket is embroidered with rich and noble wooden hibiscus. No matter the color or pattern, it is not surpassed, and there is nothing special about it. Is there something wrong with the clothes
Mammy Feng had no idea before, but now, following Tongxiu's gaze, she saw the embroidered wooden hibiscus on Ren Yujun's body, and her face changed suddenly.
Wood Hibiscus! Where did Ren Yujun have the courage to wear clothes embroidered with Mu Hibiscus in Prince Jing's Mansion!
Mammy Feng suddenly changed her face and shouted sharply, "Bold! Go back and change your clothes soon!"
Ren Yujun didn't know why, but Mammy Feng and Aunt Tongxiu's expressions were obviously wrong. She didn't dare to delay, and she had to go back as soon as possible. However, she just took two steps when a voice came from behind her.
"What are you doing here?"
Everyone turned back and found that outside the corridor, Zhao Chengjun was standing in the courtyard with his entourage, looking at them inexplicably. Zhao Chengjun showed his face during the banquet, and then went out, and has not come back until now. Unexpectedly, when he just came back, he happened to bump into this scene.
Tongxiu's face was wrong, she stepped forward quickly, saluted deeply, and tried to block Zhao Chengjun's sight: "My lord. It was the servants who were ineffective in discipline and disturbed the lord, and the servants deserved death for their crimes."
However, it was too late, Zhao Chengjun saw the flowers on Ren Yujun at a glance.
Zhao Chengjun's brows moved slightly, and his eyes became obviously cold. For a moment, no one dared to speak inside or outside, and even the guards and staff behind Zhao Chengjun were silent.
Ren Yujun knew that he had caused trouble. Although he didn't know why, it was obvious that Mu Furong was a taboo in Jing Wang's mansion. Ren Yujun suddenly felt blessed and remembered what happened a few days ago.
At that time, when Ren Yujun was preparing the clothes for the banquet, Shaoyao Ruowu told her that she was rich and noble, and she would look best in golden and jade-like clothes like Mu Furong. Shaoyao is a person in the palace, and Ren Yujun believed it if he wanted to form a good relationship in the palace.
Unexpectedly, Shaoyao was lying to her! So today Shaoyao deliberately said that she had a stomachache and asked her to deliver wine, did she also intentionally harm her
Ren Yujun knelt down in panic, his body was cold for a while, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless. Tang Shishi didn't know what was going on, she took a step back secretly and clearly drew a line with Ren Yujun.
She doesn't know them, all this has nothing to do with her Tang Shishi.
Zhao Zixun also came out when he heard the voice. He looked at the people on both sides, and saluted Zhao Chengjun: "Father. This woman is really bold, and I will have her dragged down and punished for thirty."
Ren Yujun panicked as soon as she heard it. She was a virgin lady who had no power to tie a chicken. She could only embroider and write on weekdays. How could Zhou Shunhua leave her sister behind? She hurriedly knelt beside Ren Yujun, had an idea, and said, "His Royal Highness King Huijing, you misunderstood, this is not Mu Hibiscus. This is Hibiscus!"
Zhao Chengjun looked at Zhou Shunhua condescendingly, unable to distinguish between joy and anger. Zhou Shunhua didn't know whether he was saving or harming others, so he said bravely, "To tell the truth, Sister Ren and the little girl became friends at first sight and became sisters Jin Lan. The little girl's name was Shunhua, and Shunhua was Mujin. Sister Ren was born because of the little girl. Embroider hibiscus flowers on your clothes."
As if he had caught some life-saving straw, Ren Yujun said quickly: "Yes, this is Hibiscus. It's all because the little girl is not good at embroidering, and she didn't embroider the divine shape of Hibiscus, which led to misunderstanding. The lord calms down, the girl will never again. I dare not."
Tong Xiu seemed to be relieved, and followed suit: "My lord, they are young, and they are still a bunch of yellow-haired girls. Since it's a misunderstanding, it's fine to talk about it. Don't get angry with them."
Zhao Chengjun's eyes were deep, and he glanced coldly at Ren Yujun and Zhou Shunhua. He didn't say whether he believed or not, and strode in. Tang Shishi obviously felt that everyone was relieved, and everyone surrounded King Jing into the hall.
Tang Shishi quietly mixed in the crowd and moved with the crowd. She was not without embarrassment and missteps, but Zhou Shunhua succeeded.
It turned out that Zhou Shunhua cleverly solved the puzzle, this is what he meant.
That Tang Shishi really can't grab it. How could she know that "Shunhua" could still be used like this.
Tang Shishi lowered his head and thought, not paying attention to the front, and accidentally bumped into someone. She hurriedly stood up, only to realize that everyone stopped at some point.
Tang Shishi lowered his head obediently, showing his neck meekly, and almost wrote the words "I am innocent" on his face: "My lord."
Zhao Chengjun stopped in front of the door, and glanced at Tang Shishi with an inexplicable meaning: "Don't be smart."
Immediately, he walked away.
Tang Shishi is well-behaved and should be, but she is not without wonder, is she smart? Where is she smart
