Chapter 298: Chrysanthemum Banquet
Entering the mansion of the third prince, the maid directly led Tian Ruyue and Wei Jing to the garden, at this time there were already many guests in the garden, gathered together in twos and threes, admiring a wide variety of chrysanthemums, some of which were like a golden ball, and the petals were tightly wrapped around the flower core; Some are layered, and the chrysanthemums are starry and connected. The red ones are like fire, the white ones are like snow, the pink ones are like the glow, the big ones are like colorful balls, and the small ones are like delicate lanterns, colorful and varied.
"It's so beautiful!" Wei Jing couldn't help but exclaim, causing strange glances from others. But she didn't care at all, and saw a familiar person with the maid Yuehong going up to say hello as before.
Tian Ruyue stood in front of a pot of chrysanthemums and didn't move, and when she saw Wei Jing rushing up to greet the other nobles, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook slightly.
Bai Shuang stood aside and asked tentatively, "Young lady, don't we follow her?" The second lady has an impulsive personality, what if she offends other noble girls......? ”
Tian Ruyue turned her head to look at her, raised her eyebrows and asked: "She is a dragon at home, she deserves to be a worm when she goes out and provokes others to be taught a lesson, do you want me to be punished on her behalf?" ”
White Frost: "......"
"Leave her alone." Tian Ruyue waved her sleeves: "My husband said, I brought her here to let her suffer a little, see through the hot and cold world, and save me only knowing how to face me at home." ”
White Frost: "...... Oh. But her eyes kept glancing at Wei Jing from time to time, hoping that she could see the current situation clearly, and don't ask for hardships.
"The chrysanthemums here are so beautiful, let's look around." Tian Ruyue saw that she had been staring at Wei Jing and dragged her away. However, she specially picks chrysanthemums with few people or no one to watch to walk around, and she will never go to join in the fun in places with many people.
Pointing to a pot of chrysanthemums, he asked, "White frost, this chrysanthemum is really beautiful, I'll make a chrysanthemum pot when I go back." ”
Bai Shuang smiled and narrowed her eyes when she heard this, "In your eyes, everything you see looks like a teapot, but the slave is looking forward to what kind of chrysanthemum pot you make." Then he approached shyly and timidly, and asked cautiously, "When the slave and maid get married...... Can you give one to a slave as a dowry? ”
Tian Ruyue reached out and pinched her face, "Even if you know the goods, I can give you as an heirloom." ”
"Hehe......!" White Frost smiled happily and narrowed her eyes.
There was a sudden S movement in front of her, Tian Ruyue turned her head to look over, and saw Shang Wenjie, who was dressed in palace clothes, walking over in front of a group of maids and women, and other nobles stepped forward to say hello.
Tian Ruyue naturally walked over with Baishuang, and gave her a salute in a proper manner, "I've seen the princess." ”
Shang Wenjie glanced at her and ignored her, looking at the other nobles.
Seeing that Tian Ruyue was being snubbed, the other nobles covered their faces with handkerchiefs and snickered, and whispered: "The Second Highness lost power, and the Wei family was defeated, so they came to slap the Third Highness, which is really despicable." ”
Tian Ruyue listened without changing her color, deaf to her.
Bai Shuang's eyes were red with anger, it was obviously the third princess who personally invited the invitation, and now the young lady was invited to attend the banquet, she deliberately snubbed other nobles to misunderstand, this third princess turned out to be this kind of villain!
Tian Ruyue saw her red eyes, reached out and pinched her back, "Hurry up and hold it, don't look up at the blue sky." Let people see it reach the ears of the third princess, and when the time comes, they will deliberately slander us and pretend to be wronged, so that others will misunderstand that she is not well entertained. ”
Bai Shuang's face turned pale when he heard this, and he quickly blinked his eyes vigorously a few times to hold back the tears of the medicine.
To appreciate chrysanthemums, you have to drink chrysanthemum wine, make chrysanthemum poems, and taste all kinds of delicate dim sum made by chrysanthemums, Tian Ruyue neither composed poems nor dipped in wine, but only tasted some dim sum. Seeing that Chen Lin's poems won full applause and stole the limelight of the host Shang Wenjie, she secretly slandered her for suffering several losses, but she still did not restrain herself.
Chen Lin probably saw that Shang Wenjie's face was a little ugly, and hurriedly offered four-color chrysanthemums.
"White, yellow, pink, red! Four-color fairy! It's so beautiful~~"
As soon as this flower came out, it shocked the four, and the nobles gathered around the chrysanthemums to watch, and the clever borrowing flowers was a metaphor for Shang Wenjie's beauty, like the four-color fairy flowers, which were favored by the three princes, and stupidly circled around Chen Lin, wanting to find out if she could grow more colorful fairy flowers, and also wanted to ask for a plant to be put at home to enjoy at any time.
Tian Ruyue neither complimented Shang Wenjie, nor did she come to Chen Lin's side, sitting in place eating chrysanthemum snacks, drinking chrysanthemum tea, admiring the chrysanthemums in the garden, and feeling relaxed and happy.
At the end of the banquet, Wei Jing finally returned to Tian Ruyue's side with Yuehong.
Tian Ruyue glanced at her, and saw that her face was full of sadness, as if she had been wronged, she hooked her lips and didn't say anything.
Wei Jing saw that Tian Ruyue didn't ask anything, and her heart was even more aggrieved, and she couldn't help but redden.
Tian Ruyue didn't see her, and the other nobles of the family left with their maidservants, stood up and said to Baishuang: "The banquet is over, we should go back." Glancing at Wei Jing, she walked straight out.
Wei Jing followed with her head bowed with red eyes, but when she was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, she was suddenly stopped by a grandmother and saluted the two of them: "Please stay, the princess is invited." ”
Tian Ruyue frowned, and had a bad premonition in her heart, so she refused: "I have been disturbing the princess for a long time today, and it is inconvenient to continue to stay for a long time." ”
Mama instantly sank her face: "The princess is invited, do you dare to refuse?" ”
Tian Ruyue saw that the people from the palace were surrounding, so she had to change her words: "Then there is Mama Lao and wait for a while." Turning his head to Baishuang and instructing, "You go back and tell your husband, I'll go back later." His eyes turned to Wei Jing and Yuehong: "You go to the carriage and wait for me first." ”
Wei Jing noticed the ill-intentioned eyes of other people, and then she slowly realized that something was not quite right, and hurriedly nodded and wanted to leave with Yuehong's support, but was stopped by the grandmother with a wicked smile, "The princess also invited Miss Jing." ”
Seeing that Baishuang was not stopped by anyone, Tian Ruyue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wei Jing who was at a loss, "It is a blessing for us that the princess wants to see our aunt and sister-in-law." Turning his head to look at Mama, "Please Mama lead the way." ”
Mama snorted softly and walked arrogantly in the front. The three of them followed behind her.
The more remote she went, Wei Jing couldn't help but reach out and pull the clothes behind Tian Ruyue's back in fear, and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, what does the third princess want to do?" I'm a little scared. ”
Tian Ruyue saw that she was a lot more well-behaved, and before she could speak, the grandmother who was walking in the front suddenly turned her head to look at the two.
Looking at Mama's sharp eyes, Wei Jing was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to say anything more.
Tian Ruyue looked back and pretended to be stupid and asked, "Arrived?" ”
Mama was stunned for a moment, "Turn this corner and you'll be there." The corners of his mouth curled into a sinister smile. Turn around and continue to lead the way.
Tian Ruyue frowned, followed, and walked into a courtyard with a side courtyard.
