Since ancient times, whether it is men or women, as long as there is wine, then the banquet is equal to the stimulant that stimulates the excitement.
Therefore, as soon as the wine was seated, everyone relaxed in unison.
Huayan smelled that it was a high-quality fruit wine specially for women. The alcohol content was extremely low. As long as you don't drink too much, you won't get drunk. She held up her wine glass with a smile, and said to everyone, "It's my fault today. I surprised everyone. I will punish myself with three glasses."
When everyone was mentioned by her, they all remembered what happened earlier, thinking that they were really shocked? Not only shocked, but also terrified.
Who would have thought that she would confront Mrs. Hou Ji of Wuwei tit for tat when they met each other, and would push her out of the lake without hesitation.
After so many years, no one dared to deal with Mrs. Wuwei Hou Ji like this.
After all, besides being the stepmother of Marquis Wuwei, she is also the eldest daughter of the Liu family.
Apart from the four top families of the Zhao family, the Su family, the An family, and the Lu family in Beijing, the Sun family, the Mei family, the Liu family, the Wang family, and the Cui family followed. Although the Liu family's ranking in the capital is not high, but in Southern Chu, it has a deep foundation.
Although she is not likable, she is actually a person who is good at communicating with people, especially with the wives of the various aristocratic mansions. At a young age, although there was an unglamorous incident five years ago , but time has passed, her identity is there, she does not offend people easily, and others will not offend her.
But today, uncharacteristically, she spoke harshly to the Crown Princess face to face, and the Crown Princess accepted the trick unambiguously. Not only did she go back with sarcasm, but also pushed her out of the lake. If it were anyone present, they would feel that they couldn't do it. This is a matter of openly confronting each other face to face.
If one is not done well, it will kill people in full view.
However, Lin'an Huayan, the prospective princess, seems to be really fearless, not only bold, but also ruthless.
Many wives and ladies feel that it is better to stay as far away from her as possible in the future.
After drinking three glasses of wine, Huayan said with a smile, "This fruit wine is really good. It's rare that I can still drink sweet-scented osmanthus in this early summer."
Mrs. Zhao laughed, and took the opportunity to praise her daughter, "This fruit wine was made by Qingxi who harvested a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and spent a lot of time brewing it. There are only ten altars in total. She said that she would keep it for her father's birthday banquet today. Guest, I almost forgot about it just now."
Huayan smiled when she heard the words, "Oh sister Zhao can also make wine"
Zhao Qingxi smiled dignifiedly and said, "I don't know how to make wine. I just like to drink sweet-scented osmanthus wine. I'm just greedy. It just so happens that there is a master who can make wine in the mansion, so I learned a little bit from him."
Huayan praised without hesitation, "Sister Zhao is really a wonderful person with many talents."
Zhao Qingxi blushed, "Today I always hear the princess praise me, it really makes me feel ashamed."
Huayan Yingying smiled, "I don't mean to praise everyone when I see her. I can't praise her for Mrs. Wuwei Houji. She has a sour and mean face, which makes people not like her. I praise her." Sister, it’s true, you just accept it calmly.”
Zhao Qingxi didn't know what to say when she heard her belittle Mrs. Wuwei Houji so much, so she could only accept this sentence.
Everyone is not easy to accept this.
Huayan didn't care about the silence, she poured another glass of wine, and said to Mrs. Jing Guogong with a smile, "Ma'am, I would like to toast you."
Mrs. Jing Guogong's heart suddenly became aroused. She felt that after the princess punished herself for three glasses, the first glass of wine toasted was very meaningful. If she didn't drink this wine, she would face her in the face. However, if she drank it, she really didn't know how to pick it up and drink it.
After all, she is now the prospective princess concubine who was bestowed by Yizhi, and she said those words earlier, and she has the idea of liking his son. She really felt that she was being roasted on the fire, and she was in a dilemma whether to advance or retreat.
Hua Yan watched Mrs. Jingguo's face change, and thought that Lu Zhiling's expression earlier was probably inherited from his mother, so she smiled softly, "It's just a glass of wine, no matter what, Madam is an elder, so she can drink it."
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Mrs. Jingguo gritted her teeth and took a drink from the wine glass.
Seeing her drinking, Huayan raised her neck casually, drank the wine in the glass, then put down the wine glass, and said with a smile, "Although I also want to respect the eldest princess, the princess and all the wives, but I fell into the water earlier. I still feel unwell, so I'm disrespectful, Haihan."
Mrs. Jing Guogong had just had a glass of wine, and when she heard her words, her blood froze all over her body. At this moment, she regretted that she wanted to spit out the wine, but it was impossible. She suddenly felt that she had been tricked.
After she punished herself with three glasses of wine, she only toasted her one glass and stopped toasting her again. Even the master, Princess Anyang, and Mrs. Zhao Zaifu skipped over. It can be seen that she is really the only one who has received special treatment.
For a moment, she felt hot and cold.
Huayan got up and left the table, "Everyone take your time, I'll find a place where the sun is warm to sober up." After she finished speaking, seeing Zhao Qingxi about to stand up, she quickly said
, "Sister Zhao sit down, I will never get lost in this Zaifu Mansion."
Zhao Qingxi looked at her mother upon hearing this.
Mrs. Zhao Zaifu smiled quickly and said, "Prince Princess wants to rest in a warm place, why not ask Xi'er to take you to her residence."
Huayan smiled slightly, "Don't be so troublesome. I'm here to play. I'll walk along the lake to enjoy the scenery of Zhao Mansion. When I meet a place that suits my heart, I'll just sit down and rest for a while. I heard that there are jugglers The team, I like it the most, when it's time, there will be fun to play, I can't miss it."
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "That's fine, the mansion is not big, so it's easy to find someone. Since the Crown Princess likes to do whatever she wants, then go. There are many people today, so be careful."
Huayan nodded and left the pavilion.
Qiuyue and Mother Fang followed her closely.
As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the pavilion changed again, many people secretly looked at Mrs. Jing Guogong.
Mrs. Jingguo is sitting on pins and needles, but she can't leave. She is afraid that walking behind Huayan at this time will cause people to think, and if Huayan waits for her to find a place to talk with her, then she will not be able to speak clearly. up.
Hey, what's the matter
Huayan walked lazily and casually, admiring the scenery of the Zhao Mansion, accompanied by Qiuyue, Nanny Fang and others step by step.
Mother Fang felt that she really couldn't understand the Crown Princess, she really didn't like His Highness the Crown Prince, she liked Lu Zhiling but she met today, it's not like, a woman likes someone, it should be like the Seventh Princess, she likes it very much, likes it If you can't get it, you can't eat, you can't sleep at night, you can't sleep every day. But she is doing her own thing completely, no matter what other people think, she just does it, and when she is done, she doesn't care what others think.
Lu Shizi showed up today, and she is still the same.
Qiuyue stepped on the bluestone bricks, stared at Huayan's footprints, and secretly rolled her eyes in her heart. She has followed Miss for many years, no better than others.
Hey, it's really sad
Huayan felt that the scenery of Zhao Mansion was really good. She walked around a few places, stopped in a garden, and sat down on a swing. The other mother said, "You guys should find a place to sit too."
Nanny Fang nodded and sat on a stone table and bench not far away.
Qiuyue stood beside the swing, stretched out her hand to shake the swing, and whispered, "Miss, you really don't want to go back and burn the cloak of Mr. Zhan!"
Huayan glanced at her, her eyes flickering, "Where can I put it away first, and return it to him later."
Qiuyue flattened her mouth, "His Royal Highness must know about where to go here. We can't bring this cloak into the East Palace."
Hua Yan thinks about it too, who is Yun Chi? He accepted Su Zizhan's jade pendant, which made him feel knotted. If this cloak is brought into the East Palace again, he will probably kill her. After thinking for a moment, he signaled Qiuyue to stop shaking the swing, and beckoned her to approach.
Qiuyue stopped her hands and leaned forward.
Huayan whispered in her ear, "How about this, taking advantage of the chaos in the Zhao residence today, you should contact our dark man now and send this cloak home."
After hearing this, Qiuyue was startled, "Miss, is this possible? If the young master receives the cloak from the young master, I'm afraid I will worry about you."
Huayan sighed, "The matter of breaking the engagement, now it seems that I need my family to help me. After all, it is better for me to send something back to let him understand my determination. By myself, let me do it. I'm getting exhausted day by day, and now I still can't shake Yunchi at all, if this continues, I'm afraid that I will really fall into Yunchi's hands, and I won't be able to go home again, brother doesn't want me to stay in the capital forever, right?"
Qiuyue thought for a while, and was a little worried, "Although His Royal Highness is tolerant to the young lady, this matter is always different. If he knows that you didn't return the cloak to Mr. Zizhan but disappeared, he will know what the young lady is thinking." .That's a big problem, too."
Huayan said, "He knows that I'm in a good mood. It's been a year. I forced him to let go, but he won't let go. It's no wonder I've come to this point." After she finished speaking, her eyes were deep, "Gorgeous and full of love." The golden cage of temptation, I am crazy to break here willingly."
Qiuyue nodded, "Since Miss has made up her mind, I'll do it now."
Huayan nodded.
Seeing that Qiuyue was leaving the garden, Nanny Fang immediately asked, "Miss Qiuyue, where are you going?"
Qiuyue stopped in her tracks, and said in a low voice with some embarrassment, "Nurse, take care of Miss first, I feel a little sick to my stomach, I'll go to the latrine, and I'll be back soon."
Nanny Fang nodded, "Go now."
Huayan swayed the swing by herself, closed her eyes leisurely and rested her mind.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps, but before she could hear anything, Nanny Fang and the others stood up abruptly, saluting together, "His Royal Highness"
