Before I could scream, there was a sweet cry from behind, and His Highness the Third Prince stepped away from me. I quickly turned around and saw Shen Wanyao standing on the corridor with a pale face, her eyes filled with mist, as if The next moment it would turn into a downpour, while Murong Qingfeng stood a few steps behind her with a complicated expression on his face.
The drunkenness immediately subsided, and a cold touch came from the stone bench under him. He also sobered up a lot. Then he lost the courage just now and was reluctant to let go of Murong Qingfeng. However, what the Third Highness did just now was seen by him. If you misunderstand that I am a flirtatious woman, then something is really wrong.
I glared at His Highness the Third Prince quietly, took out the handkerchief from my sleeve, with a look of aggrieved helplessness on my face, and pretended to wipe my tears with the silk handkerchief while I stood up and trotted away from that place of right and wrong. If it didn't work, If the prediction was wrong, the scene would have turned into His Highness teasing a mentally retarded woman. The woman resisted to no avail and was forcefully kissed, and then left in tears.
Anyway, the reputation of His Highness the Third Highness is almost ruined, and although my reputation is not very good, I still have nothing to do with whores and sluts. This is an ancient feudal society after all. Once a woman's reputation is ruined, it will really be ruined. I am looked down upon by the world, and no one is willing to marry me. Even the people around me will be despised, so I have to worry about it.
.
After running away from the banquet, the three of them returned to their seats not long after. His Highness the Third Highness smiled with a nonchalant look on his face. The corners of his mouth were raised high, as if he had succeeded in stealing the fragrance. Murong Qingfeng's face was not very good-looking, and he could not tell the difference. Whether it was anger or worry, Shen Wanyao looked a little ugly, holding the silk handkerchief in her hand with sad eyes.
"Jinyue, your face seems a little bad, but where do you feel uncomfortable?" Princess Yuehua leaned over, put the back of her hand against my forehead, and said to herself: "It feels a little hot. Could it be that you caught the wind and cold?" ?”
I was caught in the wind and cold, and I was obviously embarrassed and angry. Then I ran all the way, panting, and rushed here. Then my face turned red. I shook my head and half-squinted my eyes and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, aunt. I'll get better as soon as I drink." Some people up there, the wind has been blowing by the lake for a while, I feel much better, it doesn't matter."
"The apricot blossom wine in the mansion tastes refreshing and sweet, but has great staying power." Princess Yuehua smiled knowingly, turned to the maid behind her and told the maid behind her: "Go and ask the kitchen to cook a bowl of hangover soup. , sober up Princess Jinyue."
The maid responded, turned around and left the garden. I smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you for your concern, aunt."
Princess Yuehua chuckled softly, patted my shoulder, stood up and walked to the open space in the middle. Holding a piece of red paper in her hand, she announced loudly that Shen Wanyao won the first prize in this poetry competition, and the prize was one To Lu Ruyi, Kung Fu Chun Zhu, Qiu Ju and the others had already finished the banquet when they presented the award. Seeing this, Chun Zhu muttered in my ear: "Why doesn't the princess have any poems? My princess is the smartest. If you take action, there will be no poetry." Miss Shen, what happened?"
"Nonsense, Miss Shen can compose poems at the age of five, and is already famous in the capital at the age of thirteen. Your princess was still dancing with a sword at the border, how can she compare?" I smiled and shook my head, but I was not right. Shen Wanyao has a grudge, and it’s hard to tell what is right and wrong when it comes to relationships. Besides, she is also a poor person who can’t love her. I feel like I have the same destiny. I don’t need to deliberately belittle her to elevate myself, but it’s okay. We can't be friends after all.
Shen Wanyao took Yu Ruyi from Princess Yuehua and forced a smile on her face. Several young men nearby praised her fiercely and said that she came first and should compose another poem. Shen Wanyao only stirred the handkerchief and said nothing. It was probably because of the influence just now that she was not in the mood.
"Miss Shen's poems are very valuable. We are very lucky to be able to see one at the monthly poetry meeting. You guys are really greedy." His Highness the Third Prince suddenly spoke, unhurriedly. There was a slightly teasing tone in his voice, making it difficult for people to understand what his intentions were. He turned to look at Shen Wanyao and said with a smile: "Miss Shen, don't pay attention to them."
"Oh, it is said in the capital that His Highness the Third Highness is the most affectionate and cherishing one. When I saw him today, it was true." The concubine of Nanmin County Princess covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes darting between His Highness the Third Highness and Shen Wanyao. Back and forth, he bumped Princess Yuehua with his arm and winked at her quietly, but Princess Yuehua calmly sipped her tea and pretended not to notice.
"The daughter of the common people has thanked His Highness the Third Highness." Shen Wanyao thought that she did not expect that His Highness the Third Highness would come to your rescue. She was stunned for a moment, her cheeks suddenly turned red. She stood up and thanked him slightly. When she sat down again, her face was already pale. Significantly improved.
I sighed. The woman in love really has an IQ of 0. Shen Wanyao is also a talented woman. She has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child. She couldn't even see through the character of a person like His Highness and fell into it blindly. For He was happy and worried about him, and even thought that he could not find Bei for his casual words, which really made people speechless.
Thinking about this, I suddenly felt a little lucky. Maybe it was because of my personality. Although I loved Murong Qingfeng very much, I always maintained my due sobriety. After all, I had lived in modern times and experienced life and death several times. He can no longer live without love like he used to, and may even commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea.
The Third Prince would probably be indifferent to the beauty, but upon hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a cynical smile: "Why do you want Miss Shen to thank me?"
"Of course I want to thank you for helping her out!" How can a daughter's family who has not yet left the court stand up to the ridicule of someone like him? Princess Yuehua couldn't stand it, so she lightly interjected, looked up at the sky, and said to everyone He said: "It's getting late, so let's stop here today."
Finally disbanded, I rubbed my confused forehead, stood up with Qiu Ju’s support, and prepared to walk out the door. After a few steps, I was stopped by Princess Yuehua. I turned around and saw her waving to me: "Jin." Yue, please wait a moment, I have sent Nanny Xu to get something."
I had no choice but to sit back down. After waiting for a while, a grandma in her forties hurried over with a brocade box in her arms. She put it on the table next to me. I took a look and said in surprise: "Aunt, this is yes----?"
Princess Yuehua stood up and opened the lid of the box. It was a piece of pure white jade pendant made of mutton fat. She hung it on her belt for me personally, took my hand and said with a smile: "I knew you were coming, so early this morning I went to the warehouse and dug it out, it's a meeting gift from my aunt."
I originally had a jade pendant, but of course I forcibly stuffed it into Murong Qingfeng before going to the border. Now I have nothing on me. Princess Yuehua’s gift was on point. I didn’t show politeness to her and said with a smile: “Thank you, auntie.”
