Chapter 4: The Disaster of the Family Banquet
The lively family banquet was finally prepared, waiting for the guests to come to the door, Steward Liu took on the matter of inviting the noble family to pay respects, and invited the noble wife of the full thirty families to bring their daughters into the house to pay their respects.
Ling Xingyue was dressed in a three-layer white shirt with embroidered bamboo leaves, sharp and handsome, her eyes were blazing, as if she was wearing a frost moon, but her eyes were full of fireflies and charming.
At the beginning of the banquet, Steward Liu brought a special dish to the little girls, saying that it was specially prepared and invented by the little prince, so that everyone could enjoy it. Whoever can name it will marry the daughter of that family at that time. The same goes for the maid who knows, and will never regret it.
Everyone laughed, just make everyone laugh before the meal, have a good time, and talk about cooking, otherwise most people don't know each other, and it is inevitable that they will be embarrassed to sit together!
The item is placed on a delicate plate, and the upper and lower layers of baked fluffy dough cakes, the dough cakes are inlaid with sesame seeds, and a beef patty is attached in the middle, and a few vegetable leaves are put on it.
The ladies and daughters below couldn't help but smile, saying that this little prince's child's temper is really true, the male guests seem calmer, men, it's normal to have a little thought, it's not weird! Besides, this little prince is old, and it is time to marry.
But after all, it is still a wealthy family, and after everyone tries it, they all praise the deliciousness and the wisdom of the little prince.
As for the names, they are all sorts of things, and they all praise the elegance and atmosphere.
There are those called "Flowers", some are called "Wealth and Prosperity", and there are even those called "Ten Thousand Years of Good Harmony"! It's ridiculous.
Ling Xingyue was disappointed, it seemed that that little cutie was not in this wave of guests, otherwise how could she not eat her favorite "KFC".
Thinking of the warmth when the two of them shared a beef burger together, Ling Xingyue felt a sense of loss. Where did the girl who laughed like a flower go?
What's even more terrifying is that since the last time he smelled that familiar smell, he never noticed any information related to her, and the smell of fragrant bamboo leaves seemed to be no longer smellable.
He also tried to pull the Imperial Physician Wang to detect it carefully, and even used his spiritual sense to try to smell it, and made sure that her breath was no longer by the Imperial Physician's side, and he became more and more frustrated, and even angry.
Turned around and left and went to the study, wanting to calm down, when he walked over, his eyes seemed to sweep to Leng Qingqiu walking over, he ignored her, and left quickly.
Leng Qingqiu sat on the stool next to him, was silent for a while, and then left to sit in the small corridor next to him to drink tea and enjoy the flowers. She didn't have much appetite to eat, and she was depressed, and she seemed to feel much better.
"Is that chaste martyr Leng Qingqiu over there? She is really pitiful, she is widowed at a young age, when is this a head! β
"Fortunately, the old lady took pity on her miserable background, took it over, and kept it by her side, otherwise how could she be like now, full of pearls and greenery, and Aya Luo is surrounded by her."
"Although her husband died because of the old prince, the prince's family is really good to her! Worthy of her! β
"Also, when his husband died because of the old prince, the old prince asked him to reward his husband's family, and it was strange to marry this husband's family, so he didn't receive the reward, he didn't say anything, and left quietly!"
"Don't say it, dare to shout so loudly here, be careful that your father hears the family law serving you"
The ladies hurriedly drank and told their daughters to shut up, this kind of thing that they usually talk about in private, the little girls overheard that they were still learning to speak out, which was very bad.
Leng Qingqiu's head behind the corridor buzzed, as if she was shocked by thunder in her chest, and she was speechless in shock, what did she hear? She asked herself.
"My husband was killed by the old prince?"
"That's why the old lady led me into the house"
"My husband's family left the capital without leaving a word, and it was also related to the old prince's family."
"What I'm doing now is all caused by the old prince!"
β¦β¦
She thought of Ling Xingyue's momentary enthusiasm and momentary indifference to her, she thought, I see, you feel guilty that's why you're good to me, right? You are indifferent just because you like another young lady again, who is she, and occupies your heart so much.
You silently said "I miss you!" that day! "Who's that guy? I didn't leave that day because I was worried about you, hiding behind the screen, in vain I thought you had always had me in your heart, and I was just you, an appendage of your family's guilt.
Leng Qingqiu remembered his ridiculousness again, and his head full of pearls was just a joke! She laughed for a moment, but tears flowed from her eyes.
The dinner party finally ended lively, and Ling Xingyue stood under the moon in a gorgeous costume, with an elegant temperament.
Steward Liu arranged for the noble guests who did not leave to stay, needless to mention, the night of the family banquet was also very lively.
After bathing, Ling Xingyue just wanted to fall asleep, when she heard a knock on the door, and saw Leng Qingqiu's timid and pitiful standing at the door, holding a tray, and in the tray was a wine jug and two wine glasses.
"Lord Wang, today is your birthday, neither of us has a glass of wine, in previous years we would keep vigil together to admire the moon!"
Ling Xingyue also happened to be a little lost and sad in her heart, so let's have a drink! Ling Xingyue opened the door to let Qingqiu in, reached out and poured a cup and drank it all.
He'd never touched anything like alcohol in his days as a cat, and he didn't drink anything tonight because the girl had said that she didn't like to drink, and that drinking hurt her liver, and so on.
After drinking it, he suddenly had a hot current rushing into his throat, and he poured three more glasses in a row, and then he lost consciousness.
"Ahh Woooooo How can you live?! Suddenly a cry woke him up, he habitually stretched out his paws and lazied his waist, and then was surprised to find that Leng Qingqiu was only wearing obscene clothes and lying down with him, and the other clothes were torn to the ground, looking really embarrassed.
Looking at himself again, he was lying on the bed wearing only underwear, and the whispers outside the door had already poured into Ling Xingyue's ears like a human voice, and he couldn't listen to it if he wanted to.
"This little prince is really cowardly! Chaste martyr, he won't let it go, how can this woman live now? β
"I heard that this woman is admired even by the emperor, if this matter is reported to the palace, see how the prince ends!"
"Seeing Qingqiu's sister-in-law crying like this, is the prince really strong? What can I do? Disaster is coming! β
"Don't talk nonsense, the prince is not that kind of person, and recently the prince wants to open it, and he still wants to meet other women, how can he use force on Qingqiu's sister-in-law?"
"Anyway, if it's such a fuss, half of the officials and relatives in the capital will know about it, but it doesn't mean that the entire capital will know."
"Woe to you! Woe to you! If it's okay in private, there is such a big fanfare! How will our prince end! If it is not good, it will disturb the morale of the army, and it will be a crime to faint the mind."
Ling Xingyue is completely and really blinded now!
He jumped off the bed with a brisk walk, and what he felt most was not the cry of Ai Ai in the deserted autumn period, nor the whispers of many guests outside, his first feeling was, what was wrong?
"Did I let other women scratch my belly? No, I wouldn't have felt it if I did! β
"Every time that girl scratches me, I keep scratching my comfortable calves, and even my tail is going up! It's impossible not to feel itchy at all! β
"But what about my clothes? It's not a cat now, it's inconvenient to have no hair, and you can't let people outside see it, so the girl might be angry! β
"She once told me very seriously that you can't show your belly to others!"
"This is terrible! In case it is spread by these guests, not in case, there are so many guests, this must be spread out! Soβthen the girl won't forgive me if she knows about it later. β
"Coupled with the mess I made of "KFC", she must have known that I came with her when she heard about it, but when she heard that I was like this, sleeping with a woman like this, and being touched on the belly, she would definitely be annoyed! What if you ignore me again? But how is it good? β
Ling Xingyue thought at a speed several times faster than that of ordinary people, although she was in such a hurry, her face was only slightly frowned, and her eyes were still as deep as black glass, only adding some evil light, which flowed in them, making Leng Qiuqiu shiver.
"She won't ignore me! Why do I panic so much when I think of her! But what if? If we meet in the future, yes, I have lived for nearly a thousand years, and I will always find her and never leave, but if she knows what I look like, will she avoid me from afar? Will there be a mustard in my heart? β
Ling Xingyue knew that this must be a problem with the wine, it turned out that the amount of alcohol of the cat clan was so unbearable, he only drank three glasses, and then collapsed! It's really a "three-cup pour"!
He looked at Leng Qingqiu's crying coldly, this woman! What a damn one! His gaze suddenly rose with murderous intent.
"Lord, you can't ignore me! How should I be allowed to be in the world when I am like this? I hate to die, but if I die, I am worried that I will cause trouble to the prince and the palace, saying that you are so stupid that you not only persecute me, but also force me to die in the end! β
Leng Qingqiu said mournfully while looking at Ling Xingyue's handsome expression slightly.
"You can't die." Ling Xingyue's tone was flat.
"If you die, she will complain about me, she will call me cruel, she likes good people the most. Because she's so kind, she doesn't play tricks."
"Who is she? Who is she in your head? Leng Qingqiu suddenly asked in a shrieked voice.
"Sister-in-law Qingqiu!" A crisp girl outside the door suddenly shouted, "Are you okay, we are all outside, don't be afraid!" Come out! My mother has been the Queen Mother overnight, and now the Queen Mother has summoned her! "It's that cousin, why is she here? The Queen Mother announced?
"You've caused a big disaster," Ling Xingyue said coldly.
