Hua Yan watched Lu Zhiling being restrained by Su Zizhan, stared at by everyone, as if being roasted by a raging fire on a high shelf, she smiled secretly, admired it for a moment, then let him go, and looked at Zhao Qingxi.
Zhao Qingxi stood beside Mrs. Zhao, like everyone else, with a wonderful expression on his face.
She smiled slightly, and said to her, "Sister Zhao, please show me a place to change clothes. This wet clothes sticking to my body is really uncomfortable."
Zhao Qingxi woke up with a start, stepped forward quickly, his face returned to normal, and said with a smile, "I'll take you there right now."
Huayan smiled and said "Excuse me first" to Princess Anyang, Princess Anyang, and Mrs. Jingguo, and then followed Zhao Qingxi.
Qiuyue, Nanny Fang and the others followed immediately.
After the group left, Su Zizhan looked away, let go of Lu Zhiling's arm, and ordered coldly, "Come here, take your stepmother home."
Someone appeared in response and immediately took Mrs. Wuwei Houji who was lying on the ground away.
Su Zizhan didn't say any more words, and he didn't say goodbye to everyone. A corner of his robe raised a corner of the cold wind, and he turned and left.
Lu Zhiling secretly scolded Su Zizhan in his heart that he was not a human being, and he just walked away without saying a word when he hurt someone. He gritted his teeth, forced himself to bid farewell to the eldest princess and all the wives, and turned around after him. went.
As soon as the two left, everyone by the lake felt their chills recede. You looked at me, I looked at you, and no one spoke for a while.
Seventh Princess suddenly squatted on the ground and began to cry.
When everyone heard the cry, they all turned their heads, and saw Seventh Princess squatting on the ground with her knees folded, her arms folded and her face buried, crying very sadly.
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and asked her, "Qi'er, why are you crying?"
The Seventh Princess cried sadly, obviously not wanting to speak.
Mrs. Zhao Zaifu thought that today was her master's big day, so crying like this was really unlucky, but the person who was crying sadly was Princess Seven, and it was not easy for her to go forward to persuade her.
Seeing that the seventh princess just cried and didn't answer, the eldest princess remembered what happened just now, and immediately understood that the seventh princess likes Lu Zhiling. It would be unwise to cause an incident where she herself does no good. But she has always been willful, and this is something she can do, so it's not surprising.
She felt a headache for a while, so she knelt down, patted her on the back, and persuaded, "Today is Zhao Zaifu's birthday, what are you crying like, stop crying, if you are really sad, go back to the palace first."
Hearing what she said, Seventh Princess also felt that it was not good for her to cry so much on someone's birthday. Now that there are so many people here, she felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry, so she choked and slowly forced herself to stop crying.
Seeing this, the eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief.
Seventh Princess squatted and choked up for a while, then suddenly stood up, wiped away the tears on her face, said with red eyes, "I won't go back to the palace, I will go to Lu Zhiling, I want to ask him, who does he really like?" Finished, turned around and ran away.
The eldest princess stretched out her hand to stop, but the seventh princess ran away in a blink of an eye. She sighed helplessly, "You say that the wind is the wind, and the rain is the nature of the rain. If you come here, you will cause an incident of falling into the water. If you go to the front, you don't know what will lead to it. How about this?" Is good"
Mrs. Zhao Zaifu also became worried when she heard the words, "Princess, look, what should I do?"
The Eldest Princess thought for a while, and quickly called someone to tell her, "Go quickly, and inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the Seventh Princess and what happened here."
Someone should be, go immediately.
After the eldest princess finished giving her orders, she turned to Mrs. Zhao and said, "If anyone can control the Seventh Princess, it must be His Highness the Crown Prince. You can't hide the matter here from anyone, and you can't hide it from His Highness the Crown Prince. I'm afraid His Highness has already done it before. Got it. With His Highness here, even if the Seventh Princess finds Lu Zhiling, there shouldn't be any troubles."
Mrs. Zhao was right after thinking about it, so she felt relieved.
The group returned to the gazebo again.
Zhao Qingxi led Huayan to the warm pavilion closest to the lake. The maids of the East Palace brought clothes and cloth bags, and Huayan changed her wet clothes and cloth bags in the warm pavilion, and wrung her hair dry with a handkerchief. Freshened up.
After leaving the room, Huayan thanked Zhao Qingxi, "Thank you, Sister Zhao, for your convenience."
Zhao Qingxi shook her head again and again, "Whatever the princess said, it should have been done." After she finished speaking, she saw Qiuyue holding Huayan's wet clothes and Lu Zhiling's crimson cloak in her arms, and her eyes moved.
Mother Fang stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Crown Princess, Mr. Zizhan borrowed your cloak, should I ask someone to send it over now, or wash it after today and then send it over?"
Huayan glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Young Master Zizhan will definitely not want the cloak that I stained. Let Qiuyue take it back to the East Palace, and just burn it later."
Mother Fang was taken aback, "This is not very good, after all, the things belonged to Mr. Zizhan."
Huayan smiled slightly, "The big deal is to pay him money. Is it possible that if I send the clothes back, he will wear them or not? I guess they will also be burned."
Mother Fang was right after thinking about it, so she didn't say any more.
Zhao Qingxi thought to himself, never had Su Zizhan given the cloak to others, even if someone froze to death in front of him, he would not be the one to take off the cloak so kindly. What's more, Liu Fuxiang, who was also wet and unconscious, was lying on the ground at that time. He didn't care, but he took off his cloak and gave it to Lin'an Huayan.
She also remembered that Lu Zhiling wanted to run away, but Su Zizhan held his hand, so he didn't make it. Today, Su Zizhan was obviously trying to make Lin'an look good.
Huayan smashed the Shunfang gambling house, Su Zizhan didn't seem to hold grudges against her, this has to make people think.
Huayan glanced at Zhao Qingxi, smiled lightly, reached out and took her hand again, "Sister Zhao, let's go quickly, it's because of me that I delayed the banquet, let the eldest princess and all the ladies and ladies Hungry."
Zhao Qingxi quickly stopped her thoughts, Yunchi and Huayan came late today, and now they are going through a lot of tossing, so naturally the time for the banquet will be pushed back, she nodded, and hurriedly took Huayan to the gazebo by the lake .
When the two came to the gazebo, everyone was already waiting.
Seeing them, Mrs. Zhao quickly ordered, "Quick, set up a banquet."
Someone should be, and immediately sent a message to the kitchen.
Mrs. Zhao waved to Huayan, pointed to the vacant seat between Princess Anyang and Mrs. Jingguo and smiled, "Crown Princess, please sit here."
Hua Yan glanced at it, thinking how ingeniously the arrangement of the seats was, one was An Shuli's mother who had been having an affair with her, and the other was Lu Zhiling's mother whom she openly said she liked now. From left to right, if she doesn't have any concentration, won't she be roasted on the fire
She smiled sweetly, "It's my good fortune to be next to the princess and the duke's wife." After speaking, she sat down with a smile.
Princess Anyang smiled at her, and said briskly, "Look at your mouth, you are used to talking, you are really cute."
Mrs. Jing Guo didn't know whether she should answer the conversation, she pondered for a while, but she still couldn't decide what to say, so she could only smile at Huayan.
Hua Yan felt that the concubine and his wife were excellent people, no wonder they were able to educate An Shuli and Lu Zhiling. She was a little thirsty, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip slowly.
The banquet in the Zhao residence was served very quickly, and plates of delicacies were brought in by the maids.
Because Huayan ate breakfast late and ate a lot, she was naturally not hungry. After Mrs. Zhao greeted everyone, she didn't move her chopsticks until she finished drinking a cup of tea and quenched her thirst.
A group of ladies and ladies sat elegantly, and their dining appearance was extremely well-behaved, the sound of chopsticks touching the dishes could hardly be heard, and for a while, there were many people eating in the pavilion, but there was no movement.
Huayan thought that it was lucky that she ate breakfast and dinner today, otherwise, if she didn't pull back and act rude, she wouldn't be able to eat enough.
It has to be said that the cooks of the Zhao Mansion cook delicious dishes, not far behind the cooks of the Eastern Palace.
She heard that far ahead seemed to be pushing cups and changing glasses, and there was a lively sound coming, which was different from the quietness here. She thought it would be better for men to open up to eat and drink, drink freely, talk and laugh loudly, in such a place At the banquet, the rules of not talking when eating or sleeping will not be paid attention to.
Just as she was about to put down her chopsticks boredly, Mrs. Zhao asked with a smile, "The princess is not used to the food in my house, why don't you move your chopsticks?"
Hua Yan said with a smile, "The food in the mansion tastes great, but the postures of the ladies and ladies are so elegant that I pale in comparison. It's really hard to use more chopsticks to make a joke."
Mrs. Zhao was taken aback.
Princess Anyang laughed, "At first glance, you are a lively person. Our pavilion is quiet, but the front is very lively. You can't eat because you are not lively."
Huayan smiled slightly, "The princess is right."
Mrs. Zhao slapped her head, "Oh, I forgot, we also have wine here. If there is no wine to add to the fun, everyone is stiff and can't let it go. Today is my master's birthday, so let's not be so particular about it." How well-behaved, let go of eating and drinking.”
"That's right. Although we are housewives, we can't lose to the men, and we should be lively." Princess Anyang agreed.
So, Mrs. Zhao ordered to fill up the wine for everyone, and suddenly, there was a smell of wine in the pavilion.
