Mrs. Wu Yao's banquet was held as scheduled.
But this banquet was not held in Mrs. Wu Yao's own mansion, but in a famous garden in the capital, and the previous owner of this garden was Hua Yunheng, his famous mansion Peach Blossom Island, it is said that The house is no longer owned by Washington, and now it has changed its name again.
That family didn't seem to have moved in yet, Wu Yao got the news from somewhere, and tried to find a way to borrow from him for a day, so the banquet was held here.
Ning Xueyan came here once before, but at the beginning she walked through the side door, and did not enter through the main door formally, but this time, as soon as her carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, the clever old woman came over to ask questions.
"But the car of the Empress Dowager?" Ning Xueyan sat helplessly in the gorgeous light car and asked when she heard a voice from outside, beckoning to Qingyu to answer.
The reason why she took the gorgeous light car was entirely because of Ao Chenyi's insistence, otherwise she would have been asked not to come.
Faced with Ao Chenyi's domineering and arrogant attitude, Ning Xueyan was really helpless, so she had no choice but to take the gorgeous and almost ostentatious car that Ao Chenyi had prepared for her.
Therefore, there is no need to ask about it. Others will know that she is here when they see it.
"Our master is the princess concubine." Qingyu leaned out of the carriage, jumped off the carriage, and said to the woman outside the carriage. She smelled that it was Ning Xueyan's carriage, and the carriages lined up on both sides of the door gave way. Come on.
After all, His Royal Highness Ao Chenyi is different from the ordinary princes of the Eastern Palace. When he was King Yi, he was already a strong representative, and he was evenly matched with the emperor.
Although it is very disapproving of this princess who has always been a low-key traveler, now she suddenly became high-profile, but thinking about the current Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, no one dared to gossip.
"Princess Concubine, please come this way." The old woman said smartly, she stretched out her hand to lead the way, pointing to the passage that was left out, and that passage, of course, went straight to the main entrance.
Under the gaze of everyone, the carriage drove into the main entrance, and then headed for the hanging flower gate at the back. The yard is very big, if they were all walking, they would not be able to get anywhere in a short while, which was extremely inconvenient.
The carriage stopped in an empty space outside the Chuihua Gate. Ning Xueyan helped Xinmei get out of the carriage. Before she could stand still and raise her head, she suddenly felt that something was bumping into her. She subconsciously wanted to hide, but Xinmei reacted quickly. Pulling her body, she leaned half a point to the side, and managed to make Ning Xueyan avoid a maid in front of her.
A maid, a maid who doesn't look big.
Delicate and delicate, but very thin, at this time she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down at Ning Xueyan's feet, trembling: "Please punish the princess."
Ning Xueyan's eyes fell on a water mark on the opposite side, and there were still some slip marks on it. It was obvious that this maid accidentally walked and slipped a bit before bumping into it.
As for this maid, why did she appear here suddenly? But looking at the maids standing on both sides of this open space, with the jackets of the same color as hers, you can tell that these are the maids Wu Yao used to entertain guests. Huan, who should have been standing on the side just now, slipped over for some unknown reason.
"Get up!" Ning Xueyan said lightly, letting go of Xinmei's holding her hand, and flicking her sleeve lightly.
"Princess Concubine, this servant really didn't do it on purpose, it was really careless, this servant wanted to help the Crown Princess, but unexpectedly her feet slipped." That maid, as if she didn't hear what Ning Xueyan said to her, Still kept kowtowing to Ning Xueyan.
In just a few strokes, not only did the snow-white forehead turn red, but some mud was also stained on it.
Ning Xueyan glanced at Xinmei, Xinmei came over, and pulled the girl from the ground with all her strength, she was very strong, even the girl was still trying to kneel down, but she pulled her like this, He stood up abruptly, staggered and almost fell.
"Our master said, it's fine, you can go." Facing this girl, Xinmei turned cold and said bluntly.
These words were made out of anger, and the voice was not too loud.
Several other carriages stopped together, and it seemed that they had just arrived.
"Princess Concubine, don't be angry with a little girl. Tell me what's the matter. I'll tell my aunt in a while, and let her teach this girl a lesson. She's so rude and offended the Crown Princess." Empress." Yamoqin's voice sounded at this time.
She didn't get down from the carriage, it looked like she heard that Ning Xueyan had come to pick up guests in a hurry for Wu Yao, she brought a few maids and stood at the intersection, and she said this very nicely.
A coldness flickered in the corner of Ning Xueyan's eyes, but it didn't show on her face, she smiled slightly at Yamoqin: "In this case, then this girl, please tell Mrs. Wu Yao, such a reckless girl , It’s better not to use it, it’s fine if you bump into me today, if you bump into the empress in the palace next time, it will be a big deal.”
It's hard for Yamoqin to talk about what she said. In the current situation, even if she is herself, she will properly pretend to be kind, saying that this kind of thing is unimportant, but it's just a maid who accidentally slipped over It's not a big deal, there are many people getting on and off the carriage, even if it's for others to see, it needs to be put on a show.
But Ning Xueyan actually changed from her usual gentle attitude in front of people, her words even had a hint of evil spirit in her words, and she also showed a resolute look, which was really beyond Yamoqin's surprise.
But in terms of what she said, she had to answer it, because it was a topic she raised on her own initiative.
"Okay, I'll ask my aunt to talk to them properly in a while." Yamoqin, who was so easy to talk this time, followed Ning Xueyan's wishes, and stretched out her hand to ask someone to come over and help the girl up, as if To force it, pull that maid to leave.
At this time, more and more carriages were parked in the parking lot. Many ladies and wives got out of the carriages and looked at the scene before them in astonishment, not knowing what happened.
Ning Xueyan sneered in her heart, Yamoqin's behavior at this time made people feel more and more arrogant, but her two women who came to pull people had a lot of gestures, but they seemed to be very weak . Between pulling and pulling, I didn't walk a few steps.
"Princess Concubine, please forgive me, Prince Concubine, please forgive me." The servant girl struggled desperately, and took a few steps, which seemed to be a few steps backwards, but only moved a little bit.
"Let her go." Ning Xueyan stretched out her tender white fingers, curled her lips, and shook her with a faint smile in her eyes.
Upon hearing her words, the two women who were holding the maid hurriedly let go, and the maid fell limply to the ground, with tears in her face, she looked at Ning Xueyan excitedly, and kept shouting: "Thank you!" Empress Dowager, thank you Empress Dowager."
While speaking, he deliberately kowtowed twice to Ning Xueyan, with a grateful look, looking at Ning Xueyan, more like looking at a lifesaver.
Then she turned her head step by step, wiped her tears, and looked back at Ning Xueyan. In such a scene, if Ning Xueyan didn't know the cause was such a trivial matter, even she herself would mistakenly think that she was the maid. The savior.
"The empress dowager is really benevolent. Seeing how grateful this maid is to the empress, even if she is now allowed to die for the empress, I am afraid she will be willing." Yamoqin praised at the side road.
Letting someone go is benevolent. If you don't speak up and let people go, she is the one who did it, and you are the one who left a bad reputation, especially at such a clean party. If your reputation is ruined, think again. Well, it's almost impossible, and that's why Yamoqin was sure she would keep that girl behind!
Yamoqin has always been self-centered, when can she still bear it, and perform such a play in front of her, it seems that there must be someone pointing out behind her...
Cherry lips parted silently, revealing a icy smile. There is no good wine in the tap wine, and there is no good banquet in the banquet. It seems that this banquet is really not a good banquet!
Seeing that the eyes of the few people around were wandering between himself and that maid, they also took a special look at that very ordinary maid.
Slightly nodded towards Yamoqin, said nothing to her this time, and walked inside with a few maids.
She is now a crown princess, which is different from her previous status, so no one will say anything if she has a few close-fitting maids with her.
The banquet was held at the place where I met Wen Xueran last time, and now the curtain has been put on, and a small high platform was set up at the place where the peach blossoms were in full bloom, but the surrounding banquets were all around the front of the high platform , placed in a fan-shaped decoration.
What made Ning Xueyan even more surprised was that she also saw a few male seats.
Just a little farther away from the women's seats, a few screens are used to block it, and there is a space between the screens, and there are pots of flowers and plants in the space, which is very elegant and elegant. Without losing the difference between men and women.
But this difference between men and women is really nothing compared to the general difference between men and women. The men sitting inside, all wearing wide-sleeved robes, are very old-fashioned, and they look elegant and comfortable.
And there are a few ladies who seem to have discovered someone, and some even walked over on purpose. No one cares about their behavior, and they seem to think it has nothing to do with it. No one blames them for not respecting them. From the difference between men and women.
When Ning Xueyan saw a man on the opposite side, her eyes suddenly darkened a little, her long eyelashes like butterfly wings flickered, and she glanced thoughtfully, the master who is currently at the male seat, Wu Yao, with just one glance, she recognized that it was the woman who came to her house back then.
The woman who used to be very good with her mother, a woman who appeared in her mansion inexplicably.
The appearance of Wu Yao is definitely not just a simple coincidence...
