Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Banquet
Linglong accompanied the eldest princess with a shy smile and chatted with the women for half an hour, and when the guests were almost there, the eldest princess invited everyone into the palace to sit at the table of the eldest princess with Miao Dandan.
The seat of the eldest princess's table was higher than everyone else, and everyone could see them as soon as they raised their eyes.
However, Miao Dandan was very calm and generous, sometimes laughing with the little county lord, sometimes laughing with Mrs. Liang, and occasionally giving the eldest princess a toast.
God, hurry up and get over the reads;! If this continues, I will have to torture me to death.
In the morning, her mother was in a hurry, and she didn't even eat breakfast, and now her stomach is growling with hunger, but looking at the feast Jia Yao on the table, she doesn't dare to move her chopsticks, this feels really uncomfortable!
Suddenly, a plate of oily elbows was placed in front of him, Linglong's eyes were green and he swallowed his saliva, raised his eyes to the side, and saw Miao Dandan looking at himself with a smile, "Sister, this elbow is the best dish of the imperial chef in the palace, try it!" β
Linglong's eyelids jumped, she was so kind? Stuff me with a big elbow and sarcasm at me, the countryman hasn't eaten, has he? Linglong poked her secretly, pretending to point his fingers and put a little lean meat in his mouth, sizzling~~~ It's so fucking delicious!
Linglong took a deep breath of enjoyment, eager to swallow this elbow in one bite, if there were no outsiders here, she dared to guarantee that she could throw the chopsticks and hold them with both hands to gnaw, of course, this elbow is too soft and glutinous, the chopsticks are opened with a light poke, and there is no need to gnaw.
"Sister, how's that? Tastes good, right? This is the eldest princess's reward for you. If you don't finish eating, you won't be allowed to eat! Miao Dandan's eyes lit up with a smile.
Linglong raised her eyes to look at the eldest princess, and the eldest princess nodded and said, "Su girl, don't be too restrained, eat!" β
The eldest princess looked very kind, there should be no other meaning, Linglong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and tasted it slowly.
"Sister Su. Don't just eat it yourself. The eldest princess feasted and promised to help your father, shouldn't you give the eldest princess a cup? β
Linglong swallowed the contents of his mouth alive. Quickly wiped the corners of his mouth, a little embarrassed: "I...... I'm not very good at drinking, eldest princess, the little girl toasts you with tea instead of wine......"
"Hey! That's not going to work. How can you replace wine with tea? You haven't even had a drink! Miao Dandan, who was pouring back the tea, looked at Linglong half-jokingly.
Linglong was embarrassed, since the last time she was drunk at Shangguan Yan's, she knew that her body was the most incapable of drinking. As soon as you drink it, you will pour it, this Miao Dandan is clearly going to make a fool of herself, what should I do?
Shangguan Yan, who was not far from the eldest princess's table, touched Liang Chenjing's arm: "Hey, Brother Chenjing." Your daughter-in-law is going to make a fool of herself! β
Liang Chenjing glanced up and saw Linglong holding a glass of wine with a white face at a loss, remembering how she looked ugly last time. Liang Chenjing's scalp is numb, there are so many people here. If she makes trouble again, she will be embarrassed.
"Brother Chenjing, why don't you go and solve the siege?"
Liang Chenjing was a little hesitant, and thought about it, why did he want to help her? It was best for her to make a fool of herself, just so that her mother quit her family.
"Brother Chenjing, it's too late if you don't go!"
Liang Chenjing still didn't move, but Liang Chenyu next to him stood up and walked over with a wine glass: "Eldest princess, the juniors salute you, thank you for setting up a banquet and hospitality, and the juniors will do it first." β
The eldest princess nodded with a smile: "Chenyu is older, and he is more and more like a person who can be in charge!" I'll make this toast if I'm happy today. β
The eldest princess took the wine glass, covered it with her sleeve and drank it all, and then showed the empty wine glass to everyone, everyone applauded in unison, and one after another people came up to toast.
Miao Dandan saw that Linglong seemed to be about to be wiped over, and stopped the others with a smile: "Eldest princess, Sister Su has not drunk it yet, drink this generation first, and then drink with them!" β
The eldest princess paused: "Oh, look at me, I almost forgot this girl, okay, I'll drink, come!" β
Linglong raised his glass: "Thank you for the eldest princess's love, the little girl is unforgettable, I respect the eldest princess reads;!" β
She also followed the example of the eldest princess and covered it with her wide sleeves, which seemed to be drunk all, but she actually poured all the wine into her sleeves.
The eldest princess smiled and nodded, and drank it herself, there were many people lining up to toast below, and she didn't have time to pay attention to this side.
Linglong sat down, secretly relieved in his heart, and finally fooled over, fortunately he had an idea to think of this trick, but the clothes in his sleeves were wet with wine and uncomfortable.
She secretly moved her arms, trying to separate the wet clothes, but she felt as if someone was staring at her below, she raised her eyes and swept around, and finally settled on Shangguan Yan's table.
Shangguan Yan smiled lazily and raised his glass to her, but Liang Chenjing next to him was still staring at him with a cold face, and there seemed to be a bit of inquiry in his eyes.
What to explore? Linglong thought about it and immediately understood, when was he watching when he was drunk? Cut, you think I'm going to be that stupid? Want to see me laugh? No way!
"Ahem~~~"
Linglong turned around, saw that Miao Dandan didn't squint and sandwiched some food for Linglong, and said softly: "Sister Su, so many people have watched, and it is not the rule that everyone should be beautiful, sister, you said?" β
Linglong nodded and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with me and my future husband?" Sister Miao has an opinion? β
Miao Dandan's face stiffened, and she glanced at her and muttered: Tian is shameless!
Linglong just didn't hear it, sat upright, and only looked at the eldest princess and the little princess, now there is nothing to say, right?
There are still people who come to toast one after another, of course, most of them are to respect the eldest princess, and there are also those who respect Mrs. Liang, and Linglong can't escape, but with previous experience, Linglong can already deal with it calmly and calmly.
The banquet lasted for two full hours, and the eldest princess's face was crimson, but she was drunk and clamoring to take everyone to the garden.
Speaking of which, why did I only see the princess and the county lord, but not the horses?
Watching a group of people huddle around the eldest princess to go to the garden, Linglong excused herself from the group of people under the pretext of Gong, and walked around the princess's mansion for a while There were finally fewer people, there was a pavilion in front, she went to sit down, and let Zhishu and Zhihua block in front of her.
"Gui Ying, is there a way to help me get a set of clothes?"
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"Look at my sleeves, I can wring out wine!" Linglong grabbed his sleeve and twisted it, and sure enough, he wrung out a puddle of water, and the strong smell of wine made people dizzy and almost drunk!
A few maids were shocked: "Huh? Miss, you cheat! β
"I'm not cheating, and I'm still standing here?" Linglong himself couldn't stand the smell of wine, pinched his nose and fanned it:
"Didn't you see Miao Dandan just pouring me wine, I don't know what kind of heart she has? Hey, you guys, you didn't tell anyone about my drunkenness last time, did you? β
Several people looked at each other for a moment, and then Zhishu said: "Miss, we haven't even told Mrs. SΓΉ, except for Shangguan Gongzi, Liang Ergongzi and a few guys, no one else should know." β
Linglong thought for a while: "That must be Liang Chenjing's bastard who sued Miao Dandan, they are so bold, they are about to get married, and they often have private meetings together." β
"What did you say, Miss?"
Linglong raised his eyes and saw that Gui Ying's face was white, Linglong was stunned for a moment, it's too bad, he said that he leaked his mouth, Gui Ying knew that he was dissatisfied with Miao Dandan, but he didn't know that Miao Dandan and Liang Chenjing had a personal affair, given that she was Liang Chenyu's personal maid, so she kept paying attention not to say the wrong reads;!
Linglong clenched his fist and smashed his head: "Oh, look at me, I must be drunk and talking nonsense again!" Gui Ying, don't get me wrong, I'm talking nonsense, there's no such thing! β
Gui Ying's face changed a few times: "Miss, Miss Miao and the second son have also played together since childhood, you must have misunderstood!" β
"Yes, yes, I misunderstood...... Gui Ying, look at my clothes, they are all wet from the inside out, go and help me get some clothes to change, it's uncomfortable to death! β
"This ......"
"I'll be waiting for you here, accompanied by Zhishu and Zhihua, it's okay, go quickly!"
Gui Ying hesitated for a moment, and walked away with three turns, Gui Ying walked on the front foot, and the back foot of the painting came up with a gossipy look: "Miss, is what you just said true?" β
"Huh? Which sentence? β
"That's it! It's Liang Ergongzi and ...... Hey, Zhishu, what are you doing knocking on my head? β
"You girl, it's getting more and more disagreeable, don't think that Miss is good to you, you can talk nonsense, and you don't look at what kind of place this is? The wall has ears, and you can't talk nonsense, you know? β
Zhihua stood up and saw that there were groups of people playing in the corridor of the nearby garden, but she was really curious, and she was so curious.
Linglong looked at her fidgeting and itching all over her body, and her eyes rolled: "Zhihua, come here, I'll give you a task." β
Linglong muttered in Zhihua's ear for a while, and Zhihua's face showed a little excitement: "Okay, Miss, don't worry, the slave will definitely do it." β
"Remember, keep your mouth shut, don't cause trouble, don't go where you shouldn't, be smart!"
"Hey, okay, don't worry, miss, the slave is gone!" Zhihua jumped up and down in the direction of the main hall where the banquet had just been held, and Zhishu frowned:
"Miss, what do you want Zhihua to do? That girl always doesn't know what to do, in case ......"
"It's okay, I'll just let her go around the yard and see if there's anything going on? Come back to me later. β
"Huh? This ......"
"Originally, I wanted to go by myself, but my identity is inconvenient, so let that girl go, she can't be idle anyway!"
Zhishu opened his mouth and finally sighed softly and swallowed the words back.
Linglong sat in the pavilion and pretended to look at the scenery, and several groups of people came over one after another, and when they saw Linglong, they all stopped, but they just stared at her and whispered, and then left with a deep smile, and no one came in to talk to her and say hello.
Linglong shrugged helplessly, feeling that everyone treats themselves as monkey shows, look, watch it casually, don't charge money.
Why hasn't Gui Ying come back, Linglong pondered depressedly.
"Miss Su Er, so you are here?" (To be continued)
