Chapter 17: The Eve of the Palace Banquet
Pei Qian didn't stay long, and after a cup of tea, he left with the servant.
Xiao Liuzi looked at Pei Xiu, who was silently looking at the teacup, and couldn't help but open his mouth: "Your Highness......"
Pei Xiu came back to his senses, glanced at Xiao Liuzi, and then casually glanced at the various gifts placed aside, and a sneer slipped through his thin lips under the mask.
"Little Liuzi."
"The little ones are here."
"How to deal with these things, don't you need to say more about this king?"
"Xiao Liuzi understands, so let's go and dispose of them."
"Go ahead."
……
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day of the palace banquet.
In the past few days, Su Wanqing has not gone anywhere in the name of recuperation, but just stayed in her yard. Blowing the wind every day, eating snacks, not to mention how comfortable it is on a small day.
And Su Wanyue is probably busy preparing her dress for the palace banquet, coupled with Su Wanqing's assurances to her, so that Su Wanyue has an inevitable attitude, and she has not bothered Su Wanqing recently, and she is also happy to be idle.
Tao Yao looked at a beautiful person who was still lazily slumped on the recliner, because no one came, Su Wanqing didn't cover her face with powder, and at this time, a smooth little face was exposed to the sun, which was suffocatingly beautiful.
Tao Yao endured it, but still didn't hold back, and opened her mouth to call: "Miss......"
Su Wanqing opened her starry eyes slightly and looked at her.
Tao Yao began to phrase carefully: "In the past few days, Tao Yao has seen the second lady busy in the house, and she has made full preparations for tonight's palace banquet." I heard that the second aunt also spent a lot of money to create a set of expensive jewelry for her. ”
"Oh, so what?"
Su Wanqing straightened up slightly, twisted a tender purple grape and put it into the cherry's mouth, chewing leisurely, and her attitude of not caring about herself was obvious.
Tao Yao thought that her eldest lady didn't understand, so she couldn't help but say, "Eldest Miss, you've been lying here for a few days, don't you make some preparations for the palace banquet...... Otherwise, it won't be too late! ”
Su Wanqing glanced at her suspiciously, and said, "Does Miss Ben still need to prepare?" I also have clothes, jewelry, just turn something out in the jewelry box. ”
Tao Yao looked at the girl who ate the fruit like a dead fish and lay back, very helpless. Is this really her eldest lady?
You know, in the past, the eldest lady was the most enthusiastic about this kind of thing, no matter what, as long as there was a place where the second prince appeared, she had to dress herself up as the most delicate flower to attract the attention of the second prince.
It's just that the effect is not very good......
Tao Yao was anxious, gritted her teeth, and persuaded bitterly: "Miss, why aren't you worried at all?" I peeked at the second lady's dress, it was gorgeous and charming! You, you're not afraid that the second prince will be fascinated by her, what will you do then? ”
Su Wanqing looked at her in disbelief and asked, "What does the second prince have to do with me?" ”
Tao Yao was stunned, and it took a long time before she spoke: "Could it be that what the eldest lady said to the second miss that day was true?" Didn't the eldest lady deliberately say it in order to let the second lady relax her vigilance? ”
Su Wanqing rolled her eyes a little indecently, and responded: "Of course it's true, just that money-losing goods, aunt and grandmother, I'd rather marry a cripple than marry him!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Tao Yao was really startled, she was so frightened that she was about to cover Su Wanqing's mouth, and shouted: "Miss, how can you curse yourself like this?" No matter how unbearable the second prince is, it's better than a man with a crippled body, right? ”
Su Wanqing "snorted" and wanted to say "That's not necessarily", but seeing Tao Yao's nervous look, she still chose to swallow the words silently.
Tao Yao looked at the sky, and urged: "Oh, Miss, you should go wash and prepare, in two hours, you will leave for the palace banquet!" ”
Su Wanqing silently calculated, two hours is equivalent to four hours in modern times, and it doesn't take so long for her to paint makeup on her whole body.
So, Su Wanqing decisively closed her eyes. "There's still so much time, don't go!"
Tao Yao was anxious on the side, and said, "Eldest Miss, the second lady has been preparing since an hour ago. Before entering the palace, you have to change your clothes and bathe, then burn incense, and put on makeup......"
Su Wanqing wanted to take another nap, but she was disturbed by Tao Yao, and her good mood was gone.
She glared at Tao Yao and said dissatisfiedly: "Your mouth is all from the second miss and the second miss, who is your master?" ”
Momo shrunk her neck, feeling the scar on her head seem to ache faintly.
But she still muttered a little unwillingly: "The slave maid is not for the good of the eldest lady, the slave maid wants those people to open their eyes and see clearly, our eldest lady is good, it is not ugly at all." ”
Since Tao Yao saw Su Wanqing's true face, coupled with Su Wanqing's unstoppable momentum, she had already been conquered by her.
In the past few days, the second lady secretly wanted to find her for information, but she didn't see it.
