Chapter 431: Frightened
Ren Yaoqi changed into a beige collar, true purple bottom, dark pattern sprinkled satin, facing the placket, wearing a red gold hollow inlaid eight-treasure tiara, and followed the princess with Xiao Jinglin, dignified and quiet.
The princess still made no secret of her love and reliance on Ren Yaoqi, and let Ren Yaochi and Xiao Jinglin sit at the main table with her. The old princess and Concubine Yun generally did not attend after making an appointment, and there were only the princess, Xiao Jinglin, Ren Yaoqi, and Su and Xiao Jingyuan in the second room of the Xiao family at the main table.
The Su family is declining, the Su family and daughter look very low-key, and when Ren Yaochi sat down, the Su family and Xiao Jingyuan just glanced at it and didn't speak. Yan Ningshuang and Zhao Yingqiu sat at the guest table next to the main table, very close.
The princess said a few words, and the banquet began, although it was a hall of people eating together, the sound of cups and plates clashing was extremely low.
Not long after the banquet began, a maid beside Concubine Yun came in and whispered to the princess that Concubine Yun was unwell, and Ren Yaoqi sat next to the princess. After hearing this, the princess naturally wanted to visit Feiwu Pavilion, and Xiao Jinglin was also worried about Concubine Yun's body and wanted to go with her.
The princess thought about it, arranged for Ren Yaoqi to stay and preside over the scene, and kindly asked Su to help Ren Yaoqi, and then left with Xiao Jinglin.
As soon as the princess left the table, Yun Qixuan's atmosphere was much more relaxed, and I don't know which lady relaxed her head, and the spoon in her hand fell to the ground and shattered, causing a sneer from the surroundings. There were only three people left at the main table, and Xiao Jingyuan and Ren Yaoqi accosted each other without saying a word.
"Miss Ren's clothes are really good-looking, I heard that the clothes were personally selected by the princess."
Although Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jingyuan, the second lady of the Xiao family, have met a few times, they have not had much contact, and seeing that her tone is quite kind, she replied a few words in a low voice, and it was just some inconsequential scenes.
The people at the main table began to communicate, and the people below began to talk to each other. said that it was a dinner party, in fact, it was also to let these ladies know each other, and no one really came to eat, so they didn't pay attention to food and didn't speak, and the reason why no one spoke before was because the princess was sitting here.
Yun Qiuchen also left shortly after the princess and Xiao Jinglin left the table, knowing that Concubine Yun was sick and she couldn't sit still, and wanted to visit the patient, so she came to the main table and said hello to the Su family, and she knew that Yun Qiuchen was very fond of Concubine Yun, and it was normal for her to visit Concubine Yun. Su let her go.
Whether it was the princess, Xiao Jinglin or Yun Qiuchen, they never came back after leaving the table. Ren Yaochi couldn't help but be a little worried when she sat in the seat, could it be that Concubine Chengyun was very sick? Ren Yaochi thought about it, sent someone back to inquire, and sent someone to come back to report that Concubine Yun had fainted once, and after waking up, her spirit had not been very good, and the princess and the county lord had stayed in Feiwu Pavilion. The princess said that Yun Qixuan's side would be handed over to Ren Yaoqi, and asked her to wait until the time was almost up to disperse the banquet here.
Ren Yaoqi stayed in Yun Qixuan until the end of the banquet, and then said a few words on behalf of the princess. asked people to send these ladies back.
Ren Yaoqi had arranged the affairs here, and was about to go to Feiwu Pavilion to visit Concubine Yun, when he walked out of Yun Qixuan and was stopped.
When Ren Yaoqi turned around, she saw Yan Ningshuang and another lady sent by the imperial court, as well as the eldest lady of the Meng family, Meng Dong'er, the eldest lady of the Su family, and the third lady of the Yun family, walking towards her.
Ren Yaochi asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" "Miss Yan, they were the first to leave. She thought they had gone back.
Yan Ningshuang glanced at her and smiled: "I was very close to these sisters before, so I chatted a little more." β
The eldest lady of the Su family and Ren Yaoqi were also acquaintances, so she asked, "Miss Yan, they said they wanted to go to the Treasure Garden to have a look." The princess and the princess are not there......"
Before the eldest lady of the Su family finished speaking, the third lady of the Yun family smiled and said, "Yes, I don't know if Miss Ren can do this, let us go to the Treasure Garden to have a look?" β
Yun Qiufang, the third lady of the Yun family, is such a character. Before, when Ren Yaoqi had not yet decided on a marriage, the people of the Ren family only stammered when they saw the people of the Yun family, but now Ren Yaoqi's identity has risen almost overnight, not to mention that she even has to avoid the eldest lady of the Yun family, who has always been loved by three thousand people, in front of Ren Yaoqi, Yun Qiufang is inevitably a little unconvinced.
Ren Yaoqi had contact with Yun Qiufang a few times, knowing her temperament, and he didn't want to meet her in general, so he smiled when he heard this: "Concubine Yun is not feeling well, the princess and the county lord are taking care of the concubine, if you want to go to the Treasure Garden, you might as well wait until tomorrow?" It's getting late today, and the garden is darkened with lights at this time, and I can't see any scenery. Moreover, there are some beasts in the garden, and if a few people want to go in, they need to arrange it in advance, so as not to run out and collide with a few of them. β
Yun Qiufang pursed her lips, with a bit of ridicule on her face, as if to say that you can't be the master yet!
Meng Dong'er, the eldest lady of the Meng family, said softly: "What Miss Ren said also makes sense, then let's go tomorrow." β
The young ladies were not very bold, and they were really a little scared when they heard Ren Yaoqi say this, so they dispelled the idea of going to the Treasure Garden at this time.
The eldest lady of the Su family originally mentioned to Ren Yaoqi that she was also planning to go again tomorrow, but she was deliberately interrupted by the third miss of the Yun family just now, she looked down on the nonsense of the third miss of the Yun family, and was afraid that Ren Yaoqi would think that she was also deliberately trying to embarrass her just now, so she pointed to the place not far in front and said: "If you want to visit the garden, you don't have to go to the Treasure Garden, isn't there a garden not far ahead?" We'll walk from the nine-curved corridor in the courtyard later, but it's just a short detour. β
The garden that the eldest lady of the Su family said was next to Yun Qixuan, Ren Yaoqi thought about it, there were only some flowers and trees in the courtyard, and there were lanterns in the corridor across the garden, and there were maids guarding them at a distance, so he didn't stop it.
However, when she subconsciously looked in the direction of the garden, she couldn't help frowning, I don't know if it was an illusion, she had been feeling as if something had been staring at her in the dark since the beginning.
The eldest lady of the Su family said, "Is Miss Ren also going with us?" β
Ren Yaoqi was thinking about whether he was thinking too much, and said with a smile: "I still have something to go back to report to the princess, so I won't go today." β
The eldest lady of the Su family only asked by the way, and when she saw that she didn't go, she didn't persuade again.
Yan Ningshuang deliberately walked at the back of the closest, she looked at Ren Yaoqi for a while and bent the corners of her mouth: "I hope to see you in tomorrow's competition, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to give an account to the Queen Mother." β
Ren Yaochi felt that Yan Ningshuang seemed to have something to say, but before Ren Yaochi could ask Yan Ningshuang carefully, he left.
Ren Yaochi frowned and turned to leave, but he didn't go far before he heard a scream coming from the direction where Miss Su and the others left, and then several screams in succession.
Ren Yaoqi immediately paused, turned around and looked at the original road. It was already half dark, and the lantern fire faintly revealed from the tall and low trees and shrubs in the garden not far away.
"Miss, will the slaves send you back first?" Leshan hurriedly said, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao over there, but no matter what happened, the master's own safety is the most important, she was afraid that Ren Yao would have to go over to see what happened, and it would be bad if she was in danger.
Ren Yaochi is not an impulsive person, especially if he hasn't figured out what exactly is going on. She was about to tell her mother-in-law to find someone to take a look, but she faintly heard someone exclaim in horror: "Momβit's a tigerβ"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard this, thought of something, and immediately turned around and walked back. Leshan Leshui hurriedly protected her left and right.
Ren Yaoqi had just separated from Miss Su and the others, and soon walked to the entrance of the garden, and before he could enter, he heard a familiar loud and majestic voice: "Woo-"
The screams and cries in the courtyard were so loud that several young ladies were scared that their legs were weak, and as soon as Ren Yaoqi entered the garden, he saw a huge white figure approaching Yan Ningshuang and Yun Qiufang, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, step by step, opened their bloody mouths, Yun Qiufang rolled her eyes and fainted.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ren Yaoqi hurriedly said: "Silly girl! Come here! β
The stupid girl who was sticking out her tongue to lick her face made a move, turned her head to look at it suspiciously, and then pounced on Ren Yaoqi with a "whoop" in everyone's surprised eyes.
"Ahh
To everyone's surprise, the silly girl stopped half a step in front of Ren Yaoqi, leaned down and pressed her head against Ren Yaoqi's legs, "Woo-", the beast turned into a good cat in the blink of an eye, and wagged its tail.
Ren Yaoqi stretched out his hand and slapped it on the head, and hurriedly stepped forward to see Yun Qiufang's situation, and as soon as he got closer, he smelled a smell of urine, it turned out that Yun Qiufang was frightened and incontinent just now. Fortunately, she was not injured, but fainted.
Yan Ningshuang also collapsed to the ground, although she was also embarrassed, but her situation was better than Yun Qiufang, at least she was still conscious, but she was still frightened and speechless when she looked at the white tiger who was obediently following behind Ren Yaoqi's feet.
Ren Yaoqi turned his head to look at the stupid girl, patted it again, pointed to a tree ten steps away, and coaxed, "Be good, go over there and wait for me." She didn't know if she could understand the stupid girl.
Fortunately, the silly girl is a very smart tiger, and she glanced at Ren Yaoqi's fingers, and then walked away reluctantly with an aggrieved face.
As soon as the silly girl walked away, the sense of oppression was less, and Yun Qiufang and Yan Ningshuang's maids hurriedly crawled over with a roll.
"Miss, miss, you're fine......"
