Chapter 19: Unintentional Evil

On the water pavilion, when all the guests arrived, Chu and his wife, who were the main family, officially appeared on the main seat of the venue.

Since the table seats are set up in a similar style, guests can move around relatively freely.

The lotus flowers on the edge of the water pavilion are open, the flowers and leaves are out of the mud without staining, and the lotus leaves are huge, undulating. There are even a few flat-leaf boats on the edge of the small pond for guests to play in the lotus room.

Because it's just a small birthday, many etiquette processes are already simplified if they can be simplified.

On the main seat, Chu gradually father and son were responsible for sitting at the same table with several of the most distinguished guests, staggering each other, pushing cups and changing lamps.

Wang Yanshao of Dongping County was arranged by Chu gradually to sit in the first seat second only to the master, and his status was higher than that of Gu Xiang, Yin Xiang and the second prince, but no one thought it was strange.

In fact, according to Chu Yan's own meaning, there is no need to make people turn their backs for a birthday banquet that does not coincide with the whole number. It's not because Princess Jinhua inadvertently said in front of Emperor Tianlong.

The emperor personally asked, and he had to hold this birthday banquet even if he didn't do it.

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually warmed up, and the guests began to rush to each other with wine glasses and jugs.

Lin Qiantan sat not too far from the main seat, sitting with several powerful nobles in Beijing. However, it seems that since she doesn't stay in Beijing very often, everyone is not very familiar with her.

Chu Ling deliberately took care of Lin Qiantan and introduced her, but Lin Qiantan had to toast them one by one, and it took a while to barely get acquainted with the people at the table. She is multitasking, she is at the table, and her mind is always paying attention to the main table.

The identity of the seventh lady of the Lin family of the Marquis of Dongshan Mansion is actually not shabby, and the Lin family is also a top marquis family, but Lin Qiantan is still excluded by nothing, first of all, it is nothing more than because the nobles also have a small circle of nobles with each other. The same small circle of people formed a group, relatively xenophobic. Lin Qiantan was suddenly airborne, and it was not easy to get to know them well.

There are those who are kind, look at each other and smile, and talk about topics that are not easy to taboo. Naturally, there are also malicious ones, deliberately embarrassed, and ridiculed Lin Qiantan for being a country bun who doesn't even understand the popular trend in Beijing.

Lin Qiantan thinks she is a big sister in her twenties, and she doesn't care about these ignorant little sisters. But it can't stand someone being scathing, kicking his nose in the face, and having to say a few words.

The attitude is not friendly, but it is still the ones that Lin Qiantan knew in the previous life, such as the fifth lady of the Luzhou Hou Mansion is one of the representatives.

Someone found fault, and someone came out of the round, and after a while, there was someone who looked at the atmosphere on the table and said something wrong, jumped out to play haha, said good things, said something to drink with each other, and forgot about the unpleasantness.

Everything looks very natural, and it is inevitable to drink a few glasses at the banquet, but in the opinion of Lin Qiantan, who has grown up, the acting skills of the extras present are still too blunt. They want to harm others, and their private eye contact with each other is really explicit!

In her previous life, she felt very strange, why she never offended anyone, and someone would hold her. Now it seems that there are clearly people singing black faces and some people singing white faces on the table.

It's just to make her confused and drink a few more glasses.

When following the tenacity, Lin Qiantan learned everything, although she was not proficient, but she just knew a little bit of wine tasting and appreciation, and it was enough to deal with the little trick of deliberately intoxicating people.

Lin Qiantan's wine was obviously different from the wine drunk by the people at the table, others drank the fruit wine that the youngest daughter's joke usually used to add to the fun of the banquet, but she drank purified spirits. It is just forcibly fused with fruit juice to create a mixture that mimics the taste of fruit wine. At first taste, I didn't think there was any difference from what others drank, but the stamina was great. If she hadn't been prepared, she would probably have capsized in the same gutter again.

Lin Qiantan remained silent, and when she smelled that someone had touched her hands and feet in the wine glass, she took advantage of the fact that someone was unprepared and took a powerful hangover pill prepared in advance.

Not to mention completely offsetting the strength of the alcohol, at least ...... I won't fall asleep so much that I don't know what happened, and I don't know what happened when I'm eaten and wiped clean.

Lin Qiantan thought that she was cautious in taking the medicine, but she didn't notice that her actions had been noticed.

Yin Ren saw it, but pretended not to find it, still smiling and talking and laughing with Chu Yan, but there was interest in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

His sister Yin Wei remotely controlled Lin Qiantan's affairs in the capital, how could she bypass him, it was better to say that the people in charge of the operation were all borrowed from him.

Originally, he didn't care much about Lin Qiantan, the titular niece, so he turned a blind eye and only acquiesced to Yin Wei's plan. After all, Yin Wei's actions can also benefit the Yin family. However, after seeing that Lin Qiantan looked more and more similar to her biological mother Chu Ling, he changed his mind a little.

At this moment, seeing Lin Qiantan stealing pills, Yin Ren knew that this was a smart child, and he was even more concerned in his heart. Xindao is afraid that she has been completely prepared for the situation that may be encountered at the banquet, and her sister's plan may be in vain this time.

Speaking of which, he also has a few items in his pocket that are exactly the same size and condition.

He suddenly felt cordial to Lin Qiantan, but he didn't know that Lin Qiantan was a female student he taught by hand. Although he is not good at learning, he still learns a little bit from the master. It's really not surprising that he will make the same burgundy pill as him.

The people next to him saw Lin Qiantan like a glass of wine in their stomachs, and the few people who took advantage of the benefits looked at each other without a trace, and they only regarded it as the task assigned by the Yin family, and it was completed.

They were just afraid of the power of the Yin family, and the Yin family agreed to give them the benefits they wanted, and they thought that maybe it was just who wanted to teach this Lin family's seventh miss a lesson - anyway, just pouring a few glasses of wine, it should be no big deal, so they didn't feel that they would have a bad conscience.

They really don't know what kind of change their actions may bring to an innocent person's fate.

In the distance, Dong Yong was also peeking at Lin Qiantan's table from time to time. He was far away, and he could only see a general outline, but he also saw Lin Qiantan all the time pouring wine into his belly. He thought of his aunt's promise, and the corners of his lips hooked, and he smiled proudly.

Lin Qiantan wasn't looking at any of them. She drank a glass of wine again, and she already clearly felt that the strength of the wine began to roll, and while she was dealing with the person in front of her, she looked at it from the corner of her eye, it was the king of Dongping County, Yan Shao.
