Chapter 34 Banquet

Mu Yunqing originally wanted to correct something like "young couple" mentioned earlier, but then his focus went to the second half of the sentence: "Shun Rong Jin?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Yiliang nodded hurriedly: "If you act coquettishly, it will be more useful than being reasonable."

"...I, I can't."

"Let me teach you!" After saying that, Yiliang suddenly hugged Mu Yunqing's arm, looked at her with a pair of starry eyes, and said pitifully: "Miss, the pair of hairpins in the box, slave.

want to."

Mu Yunqing was very happy: "If you like it, just take it."

Yiliang: "..."

Thinking that maybe that thing was not very important to my lady, I rolled my eyes and stared at the sachet beside my pillow, and said: "Miss, please give that sachet to your slave, okay? How about you, miss?"

I beg you, slave."

"No!" Extremely firm.

"..." It can't be carried, it can't be carried.

Yi Liang took back his hand in frustration, thinking that he had failed, so he didn't continue, and silently went to make the bed.

As everyone knows, Mu Yunqing's heart is far from as calm as she appears, secretly thinking that if the girl holds her arm and shakes her a few more times, she will let go. After all, no one can bear to refuse her looking at her pitiful little appearance.

Is acting like a spoiled child really so useful?

Before falling asleep that night, all Mu Yunqing could think about was this. He even remembered the scene when Rong Jin begged her to hold him. She was indeed soft-hearted at that time. From this point of view... she was acting coquettishly.

Some uses.

As for Rong Jin's so-called first meeting, she intuitively felt that there was something behind it, and it was by no means that simple.

Rong Jin didn't tell her the truth, or in other words, he didn't tell the whole truth.

He had no intention of confiding, and her further questioning would yield no results. Let’s talk about it later...

***

Two days later, the eldest princess wanted to hold a flower viewing party and invited ladies from all over the country to come and enjoy the flowers.

In fact, it is said that it is flower appreciation, but in fact it is just looking for a way to look at my wife.

Rong Lie has reached the age of frailty, and logically he should have married a wife long ago. However, he has a bad reputation and is stubborn and undisciplined. No decent daughter's family is willing to marry him.

As for him, he had previously been obsessed with the daughter of the Shen family, a salt merchant in Kyoto, and threatened to take Shen Yuan as his own. The Shen family was so frightened that they quickly engaged Shen Yuan to marry the eldest daughter of the Chuanning Marquis Mansion.

The second young master, Shen Lin.

After Shen Yuan left the cabinet, Rong Lie became furious and disturbed the capital for several days. Everyone who saw him looked like a living king of hell.

Now that the eldest princess returned to Beijing, she finally remembered her son's marriage and hurriedly held a banquet to see each other.

When the post was sent to Chuanning Hou Mansion, Shen Miaowei and Shen Miaoyun had rare gloomy expressions on their faces.

Mu Yunqing looked at it and wanted to laugh.

Shen Miaoyun casually flipped through the post, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey! This post said that Qing'er was invited to go with him!"

Hearing this, Shen Miaowei immediately came over to take a look, with a look of joy in her eyes: "You ladies from the Hou family and the Mu family girls... I think it's because Qing'er wants to give flowers to the eldest princess, so I specially invited you.

Go."

Mu Yunqing smiled lightly but did not respond.

Shen Miaowei looked at Mu Yunqing's beautiful face, and for the first time she was no longer jealous of her beauty. She thought to herself that such an outstanding appearance might really attract the attention of the eldest princess's son, and how could he live a good life by then?

But she said: "I think you don't know, Qing'er, that although most of the flower viewing banquets in Kyoto are hosted by the palaces where the banquet is held, it is for the purpose of choosing a wife, but others can also choose the girl they like."

"That's it..."

Shen Miaoyun echoed: "So, Qing'er, you have to be well prepared these two days. With your beauty, you will surely outshine all other beauties on the day of the flower viewing banquet, and you may even find a suitable husband to come back."

"Fifth sister is joking."

Mu Yunqing didn't seem to care about the flower-viewing banquet, but as soon as she turned her face, she ordered Yiliang to ask the kitchen to make water tofu and send it over.

Yiliang was confused: "Miss, what do you want water tofu for?"

"Eat."

"Eat every day?"

"This is natural." Mu Yunqing smiled and said seriously: "You have to eat it every day to make your skin smooth and whiter than snow, like an egg with its shell removed."

"Then water tofu has such miraculous effects?!"

"I didn't know it before. I heard it from an old nun in the palace when I was in Jiangnan. The nun came out of the palace. She said that many concubines use this recipe. The key is to drink the water tofu. The soup will get twice the result with half the effort.”

"Then this slave will go and tell the kitchen to cook for you immediately." After saying this, he turned around and ran away.

Mu Yunqing looked at her back quietly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a piece of clothes flashing under the flower tree, and a bright smile seemed like a quiet orchid blooming on her cheek.

There are great dramas in this house one after another, you can't help but watch...

***

The day before the banquet, both sisters Shen Miaowei fell ill.

Mrs. Sun asked the doctor to administer medicine, which made everyone fall on their backs and made the Hou family's chickens and dogs restless.

When Yiliang heard about this, he asked Mu Yunqing as if he was very smart: "Miss, is it the water tofu that's responsible?"

When they were saying this that day, they noticed someone eavesdropping behind the tree. What's more, although the water tofu was ready, her young lady never touched it. Apparently, she only said it deliberately that day to invite you into the urn. Those words.

Yiliang thought he had an insight into the world, but Mu Yunqing shook his head slightly: "Most of them are fine, just pretending to be sick."

"Malingering?!"

"That's not what the sisters are aiming for. A mere prince from a princess's house is not their target. If he is chosen, they will have to wake up from their dream of clinging to the powerful. It would be safer to pretend to be sick and hide at home."

"But no one from the Hou Mansion attended the eldest princess's post. Aren't they afraid that your highness will be annoyed?"

"Who said no one showed up?"

If what she expected was right, Mrs. Sun would definitely push Shen Miaohuan out.

Things turned out just as Mu Yunqing expected.

The next day when she left the house, she was not surprised to find Shen Miaohuan standing by the car waiting for her.

She is wearing a peach-pink silk tapestry dress, with silk sash hanging lightly around her waist, moving with the wind. Dark clouds are crossing the sky, her pink face is full of spring, her eyebrows are like small moons, and her eyes are like twin stars. At first glance, she looks like she has been carefully dressed.

Shen Miaohuan may not have her own intentions, Mu Yunqing guessed that this was probably Qin's intention.

Even if Rong Lie doesn't like her if she dresses up so extravagantly, others will.

But in such an occasion, there are a few people who are sincere and just use the woman as a tool to contact the various governments. If they accidentally get involved in the battle for the legitimate son, the next road will only be more difficult.

She pitied Shen Miaohuan for being lonely and helpless, but she didn't know what her ambition was. If she herself wanted to be the master, Mu Yunqing would not be able to stop her.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and she cannot impose her own ideas on her.

Therefore, she only mentioned a few words: "Maybe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several princes will also go today. The sixth sister is charming and charming. I wonder which nobleman will fall in love with her?"

When Shen Miaohuan heard this, without saying a word, she took off the hair accessories from her bun and put them on Mu Yunqing's head.

She looked at her masterpiece, nodded with satisfaction, and then began to eat snacks, not caring about the upcoming banquet.

Mu Yunqing was stunned and just...he couldn't fix it for her.

She wanted to ask, but the carriage had stopped at the door of the princess's mansion. She had no choice but to suppress her doubts, hurriedly took off the pearls on her bun, and slowly got out of the carriage with her skirt in hand.

Shen Miaohuan grabbed her sleeves and looked at the remaining pair of magnolia hairpins on her bun. She frowned lightly and asked her in a low voice: "Why don't you wear them? Those jewelry were originally Shen Miaohan's, they were hers. There’s nothing wrong with it, you look very beautiful wearing it.”

"I……"

Mu Yunqing was about to explain, but a sudden voice from beside her interrupted her.

"Hey, who do I think it is? It turns out to be you!" Ji Ying walked towards Mu Yunqing aggressively, like a black-eyed chicken wishing to eat her alive: "How can you, the daughter of a merchant, set foot in the important place of the Princess Palace? of!"
