Chapter 96 Goodbye Poisonous Flower
Gu Yunyao looked around and said in a low voice, "Have you noticed that Miss Su also likes that scumbag Lu Chuanlin?"
"Scumbag?" Shen Munan thought this word was fresh.
"She is a scumbag among men," Gu Yunyao waved her hand, "Don't pay attention to these details. Her brother is a new force attracted by the Duke's government, and Concubine Yun also intended to use her to suppress me just now."
"so what?"
"So, of course I want to keep such a good villain. Gu Qingwen is too thoughtful, what if she doesn't get fooled?
And Gu Qingxue, what if something goes wrong along the way? Oh my god, I must be too weak, God will send me one."
Shen Munan looked her up and down: "Are you doubting my ability to do things?"
"Of course not, how could the prince think so? I'm just used to having second plans for things," Gu Yunyao quickly expressed her stance and changed the subject, "How did the prince come? Fortunately, you arrived in time."
Shen Munan snorted: "Of course I know."
Seeing his arrogant look, Gu Yunyao rolled her eyes in her heart and raised her hand to touch Bu Yao on her head: "Do you want the prince to take it back? Isn't this thing very valuable?"
"What a joke. Is there any reason to take back what I sent out?" Shen Munan flicked his sleeves and said, "Hurry to the front hall, there will be other things later."
Gu Yunyao looked back: "Then will Concubine Yun give you trouble?"
"No..." Shen Munan was about to say "It doesn't matter." Looking at Gu Yunyao's worried eyes, he nodded solemnly, "There is no doubt that I will."
"So, you owe me a big favor."
Gu Yunyao had no way to refute.
"How about changing the small snack I mentioned earlier to a big snack?"
"Just so-so," Shen Munan said after a pause, "Give me another recipe."
"What recipe?" Gu Yunyao was confused.
"Recipe for making snacks."
Gu Yunyao touched her nose: "Okay."
The two walked while talking, and when they arrived near the front hall, Shen Munan stopped following her and turned to where the male guests were.
Gu Yunyao secretly sighed. Although she had no social fear, she didn't really like this kind of occasion. It was all because of that bitch Lu Chuanlin. Once the marriage was called off, she would never attend such a banquet again.
Just as she was about to accept her fate and prepare to go to the front hall, she suddenly heard someone calling her.
"Miss Gu!"
Gu Yunyao turned around and saw a man standing under a tree not far away. He was slightly thin and wearing a moon-white brocade robe, exuding the temperament of a frail scholar.
The second son of Prince Su's Mansion and the second brother of the small county prince Song Xinghe, Song Mingzhi.
"Second Young Master," Gu Yunyao nodded slightly, "Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you Miss Gu," Song Mingzhi pursed her lips slightly, "I was in a coma that day and couldn't thank you in time. When I woke up, I heard that Miss Gu saved me. I always wanted to say thank you in person, and I just got the chance today."
"You're welcome," Gu Yunyao smiled slightly, "I can do it with just a little effort."
"Miss Gu, there is something I want to ask..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused again.
Gu Yunyao turned around and saw the nanny next to the eldest princess coming this way.
"Second Young Master is also here. County Lord, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Gu Yunyao had a pretty good impression of this nanny, so Fufu asked, "What does nanny want from me?"
"The eldest princess is afraid that you are not used to it, so she specially ordered the old slave to wait here. The old slave will be waiting by her side for a while. When the county master gets familiar with it, the old slave will return to the eldest princess when the dinner begins."
Gu Yunyao felt relieved immediately: "Thank you, Princess."
After Song Ming couldn't say anything else, he smiled slightly and nodded.
Gu Yunyao said goodbye to him and went to the front hall with her grandmother.
Song Mingzhi stood there, the smile on his face receded, his eyes deep and searching.
When Gu Yunyao arrived at the front hall, there were quite a lot of people here, much more than those who went to express gratitude just now.
Fortunately, there was a nanny following her to guide her, otherwise she would have had to find a corner to lie down.
There were some small snacks on the table, which were exquisite and beautiful. Gu Yunyao didn't eat them either. When outside, you still have to be careful about what you eat.
She glanced around and saw the second lady chatting and laughing with others. Gu Qingwen was well-behaved and quiet, looking like a lady.
Su Wanning and others came back earlier than Gu Yunyao, and were also among the crowd at this time.
Mother and daughter of the Su family were like a fish in water, and many ladies were polite to them because of Tanhua Lang's reputation. Mother Su simply forgot her own identity.
Su Wanning didn't get the token, but she got the reward from Concubine Yun, so she could make up for it, and now she had a smile on her face.
Gu Yunyao sat and watched, as if watching actors appear on stage one after another.
Not long after, a eunuch sang loudly at the door, inviting them to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers.
At this time of year, most of the flowers in other places have withered, but the palace garden has many varieties of flowers, and no matter how well maintained they are, they are still in full bloom at this time.
Gu Yunyao followed Shan Ruliu and walked around with the crowd.
My eyes glanced inadvertently, and I suddenly saw a familiar flower.
It's the kind of chronically poisonous flower added to snacks.
She was thinking slightly, and walked over unintentionally, wanting to pinch a flower. Her grandma reminded her: "My lord, this flower is not appropriate. Just look at it, don't touch it with your hands."
"What's wrong?"
"The county owner doesn't know that this flower looks beautiful and tastes fragrant, even with a hint of sweetness, but if eaten by mistake, it will cause physical discomfort."
Gu Yunyao was slightly surprised: "Mom, do you still understand this?"
Mammy smiled slightly: "The county master doesn't know something. The eldest princess likes flowers and plants. The garden in Prince Su's Mansion is not much smaller than this. The old slave's husband is the gardener in Prince Su's Mansion and has been raising flowers and plants all his life, so the old slave can see it."
The more, the more you listen.”
"Mom is so knowledgeable and admirable," Gu Yunyao asked, "Are many people growing this flower? Since it can cause physical discomfort, why would they still grow it?"
"As far as I know, this flower was introduced from Western Xinjiang, and not many people grow it.
It turned out that Prince Su's palace also had them, but later I found out that this flower was not good, so I didn't plant it again. I just don't know why there are still flowers in the palace."
Gu Yunyao thought secretly: The ones that came from Western Xinjiang were not cultivated by many people, so where did they get the ones in the General's Mansion?
The flowers in the General's Mansion had withered and died. She took a look at the flowers, but it was a pity that there were too many people. Otherwise, she would dig one and put the Chaos Ring in it and study it after she went back.
After visiting the garden, we went to the lake. We prepared some food and drink on the small island in the lake. After eating some, we went to the lake again.
Gu Yunyao almost fell asleep on the swaying boat. She really didn't know what to see here.
We had a boring tour until the sun turned to the west, and we finally went ashore and went to the main hall for the dinner party.
Seats have been arranged in the hall.
The folk customs of this dynasty were quite civilized. On such occasions, men and women could have banquets in the same hall, but there was a passage in the middle to separate them left and right.
Mammy led Gu Yunyao to the seat and whispered: "The county master can sit down and rest for a while. The dinner will be held later."
"Thank you for your guidance, mama. You have been working hard for a long time, so hurry up and go to the eldest princess."
Nanny smiled happily and said, "I'll leave you, old slave."
Gu Yunyao took a breath.
