That night, King Zhou invited Lan Ting to dinner together.
"Tao Shi came out at noon, saying that she left Gu Yiren for dinner in the inner garden, originally we also had to discuss the details of the chrysanthemum banquet together, don't go to the inner garden with me early next day, although this chrysanthemum banquet is an invitation in my name, you are also half a master, you can't be lazy."
I was afraid that Lan Ting would refuse.
This garden is located in the west road of Wu Wanggong, half of it is in the inner garden and half is actually in the atrium, and there is a screen door in the middle, the male guests and the female relatives are said to be in the same garden to drink and feast, but they can be separated, and a few more guards can be arranged at the screen door to prevent the mistake, but the biggest problem is that there are not a few chrysanthemums planted in the Qinghui Garden, which does not match the theme name of the chrysanthemum banquet.
Tao had some objections because of this, and said bluntly to King Zhou in front of the spring return: "Although Qinghui Garden is convenient, there are only a few daisies in the flower beds, and there is really nothing to appreciate." β
Chungui took a sip of tea and did not speak.
She is getting more and more tired of Tao's temperament, when the two discussed at first, Tao held back this and didn't say anything, and had to wait until now to raise an objection, I don't know what the scheming means are here, and I really don't bother to take care of it.
"This banquet is just in the name of appreciating chrysanthemums, I can't directly write the Hongmen banquet on the post, and besides, this season, don't care if it's in the Wu Palace, which is not full of gardens Jin Ying can be rewarded, what I want is the effect of this year's banquet in Jinling City, the manpower we brought is insufficient, and then to separate the outer garden and the inner garden to set up a banquet can not be taken care of at all, Qinghui Garden is the most convenient, this is not the end of the book." King Zhou naturally did not listen to Tao's opinion.
Tao sneered: "In the end, it is still the cousin-in-law who knows His Highness's thoughts, and blames the concubine for being stupid." β
Lan Ting felt that these words were harsh, and as soon as he put the teacup down, his brows furrowed: "Your Highness, why don't you go to Anping Yuan to discuss." β
"How?" King Zhou raised his eyebrows and said.
"The tea is too unpalatable, and since Tao Cairen doesn't know how to set up a banquet at all, why should he detain me and Neiko in the inner garden to discuss? Why don't you go to Anheiyuan, I'll make a pot of tea and drink it. β
Dow's face flushed instantly.
Zhao Lanting knew that it was the tea she made, but she directly said disgusting words, hateful, hateful, ruthless, and unjust!
King Zhou glanced at Tao's instantly clenched fists, and had no idea of protecting the short, only slapped Lan Ting twice: "You have good tea, and I don't have it?" It's nothing more than that the people who make tea don't know how to waste good tea leaves, so instead of running to Anheiyuan, it is better to take water and make a pot of soup with my own hands. β
Tao became more and more embarrassed, but he was still not convinced: "The concubine body has also learned tea art with her heart, and even His Royal Highness said in the past that she can still enter the ......"
"You have less energy, how can you compare cow drink and sip? Your so-called tea art, it is also suitable for brewing to quench thirst, today I don't want to remind me, in the future, you make tea, you don't need to take the name of the treasure roast, but also don't cost me to draw good water, just like this chrysanthemum banquet, your female dependents with tea, according to the fashion and customs with some dried flowers and fruit tea to entertain is, this is a mix of guests and friends, Cha will be a pan friend, and it is not a clear speech, off the shape of the remains, no need to call the child bonfire, drink water and make soup. King Zhou suddenly felt sorry for his good tea and water.
Chungui listened to it funny, and only held back with all his strength, only to look at the moon shadow that was still quite thin on the already dim sky.
But Tao saw the look of schadenfreude on her face, and suddenly felt that there was a sour and spicy breath in the dantian that rushed straight to her mouth, knowing that it was not appropriate to make peace again at this time
King Zhou stiffened his lips and couldn't help it: "Didn't I just eat the meat full of intestines, and the wine between my lips and teeth has not yet dissipated, and I am also talking about the mixed affairs of guests and friends, and I will be a general acquaintance at first glance. β
King Zhou: ......
"That's a good point, I said that this tea soup can't even quench your thirst, Your Highness ripped off the Qingtan Pinsi, and didn't want to move elsewhere, but I forgot that Pintuan 11 is not suitable for use?"
King Zhou couldn't help but look at Tao.
Dow: See what I do?
The so-called eleven should not be used, which refers to bad water, utensils, firewood, etc., which are not available here, and the only thing that exists is the evil maid.
It seems that Tao has offended Lan Ting heavily, although Lan Ting is not a person who pities Xiang Xiang and cherishes jade, but he has rarely seen him be so ruthless to any woman, let alone how Tao is still his cousin...... Zhou Wang suddenly came back to his senses, and then realized that Tao's self-made clever insinuation today seemed to have been seen through by Lan Ting.
At this time, even King Zhou felt a little embarrassed, and waved his hand to signal Tao: "You go back to Ji Ze Courtyard first, we have discussed it for a while, how much do you need to cooperate with, and I will tell you." β
Dow: ?
Even Zhao Lanting was convinced of her clever argument this time, why did His Highness lose face to her like this? Only then did he realize that he was quick to speak for a while, which annoyed King Zhou and complained that she was too erudite and sharp-tongued, Tao Cairen suddenly regretted it, and secretly scolded himself for being dizzy by his "ex-husband", and actually took out his real skills to argue with King Zhou in public, not only stealing the limelight from Gu Chungui, but also setting off His Royal Highness clumsy......
So he didn't dare to "resist" anymore, and he bowed very obediently and said goodbye.
Only then did King Zhou instruct Adan: "Make another pot of tea for us to sip and dissipate." β
When the three of them in Qinghui Garden finally discussed the matter of appreciating the chrysanthemum banquet, King Zhou really went to Jize Courtyard again, but saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, and Tao was still dressed up and greeted from under the lamp...... No, it seems that the rouge is even more gorgeous than just now? He remembered that when his mother first mentioned Tao to him, she seemed to say that she was a beautiful woman, but this woman clearly loves heavy makeup, where is the word "beautiful"?
This is the king of Zhou does not know, Tao's own appearance is extremely beautiful, her style is more inclined to the beauty of weakness, but she thinks that the king of Zhou in that life can be fascinated by the spring return, because of the reason that the spring return is gorgeous, in order to cater to the aesthetics of the king of Zhou, she also turned herself in the direction of the gorgeous face.
It's no wonder that Tao misunderstood, Qiao was also charming at the beginning, so he could be favored by King Zhou for a while.
But whether it is glamorous or not depends on the natural appearance, King Zhou does not appreciate heavy makeup, especially at this time, he is still in the palace of King Wu, but he almost has the illusion of stepping into the brothel of the Qinglou.
The disgust couldn't help it, and the brows were frowned into a big pimple.
Tao misunderstood deeply, and posted it coquettishly: "Your Highness is still angry with the concubine? The concubine knew that she should not contradict His Royal Highness, but Deputy Envoy Zhao was too rude, and the concubine was also dizzy by him at that time, His Royal Highness was angry, and the concubine had just personally cooked for His Royal Highness to make a supper, and gave His Royal Highness a supper. β
King Zhou: ......
Dinner hasn't been finished yet, where can my son eat supper!
However, the king of Zhou originally had something to say, so he was pulled by Tao to go to the supper, which was a pavilion facing Tao's bedroom, which was originally considered elegant, planted with bamboo willows around the water, and the moon shadow was reflected in the heart, but the king of Zhou was not in the mood to appreciate the moonlight at this time, he waved his hand to signal the servants to retreat, and at this time Tao was still full of joy, thinking that King Zhou was going to talk with her under the moon.
"You said don't be rude, why is he rude?"
"Your Highness...... The concubine knew that Vice Envoy Zhao did not treat the concubine as a cousin because of the queen's aunt, so the concubine never dared to climb high, and she always stayed away from Vice Envoy Zhao. But the concubine is no longer the daughter of the Tao family, but the wife of the heavenly family......"
"What a heavenly wife, you dare to call it a heavenly wife, you are just a concubine of my Qin Xun, what's the matter, think that now that you have the rank of a talented person, you should be ordered by the court to kneel three times and knock nine times?!"
"The concubine doesn't dare."
King Zhou obviously didn't move, but Tao took the initiative to let go of King Zhou's arm, and she leaned against the past before she did half of the action, then got up and stood away and bowed her head in salute.
"You didn't refute you when I was angry, and let you go away? I see that there are usually some ancient books and classics in your study to fill the faΓ§ade, why haven't you turned over the "Tea Shu" of this dynasty? It's a shame that you're still conceited to be a scholarly lady, and you can't hear the disgust in your words, and it's ridiculous to the point that I'm a vice chick's belly, thinking that you can be confused by being flirtatious and coquettish!
Tea forbids evil maids! I still leave you embarrassed on the edge of the tea table, and I feel that I am drinking footwater! β
Evil?! Zhao Lanting dared to ridicule her as a wicked maid?! Tao suddenly felt that the anger was fierce and rushed straight to the heavenly spirit cover, burning her brain for a crackle, but she dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak...... No, he still dared to speak, but he only dared to choke and sow discord: "The concubine is stupid, and Deputy Zhao slandered the word evil maid...... It doesn't hurt for the concubine to be humiliated, but the concubine is the side room of His Royal Highness, and Vice Envoy Zhao is even humiliated with His Royal Highness. β
In Zhao Lanting's eyes, how can there be the difference between the righteousness and respect of the monarch and the inferior?!
"Humiliation? Don't you be idle and have nothing to do, and use your humiliation to relieve your boredom? How don't you want to think about what you've said! I told you a long time ago about the affairs of the back garden, the matter of social entertainment so that you don't make your own opinions, everything is decided by Gu Yiren, I also wonder that the chrysanthemum banquet is Gu Yiren's choice of Qinghui Garden, you know that I will not object, why do you still question, you just want to use my approval as a foreshadowing, so as to lead to the sentence that Gu Yiren knows my mind!
What kind of heart do you have? Are you hinting that he married a water-based poplar woman, and Gu Yiren did things with me behind his back? The word evil maid says that you are all light! It seems that you really don't know about him, but he is not yet a young student, and he can calculate the disgrace of the Confucian master who originally won the heart of the emperor, humiliation? If you weren't a woman, he wouldn't be able to humiliate you, and with a snap of his fingers, he would make you die a bad death. β
King Zhou sneered again and again: "I really underestimated you, I didn't notice that you were so stupid, I asked you to put away your cleverness, but you were obedient and unscrupulously showed your stupidity and ignorance." What are you doing? You know that Zheng Xiu, the Duke of Wei, is sparing no effort to win over you, you are afraid that Zheng Xiu will not succeed, and Chu Xin is planning to help Zheng Xiu! β
Tao was shocked, knelt down on his knees and kneeled forward, pulling the corners of King Zhou's robe: "It's the concubine who is stupid, but the concubine is loyal to His Royal Highness, the concubine, the concubine just wants to ...... The beauty of His Royal Highness ......"
King Zhou raised Tao's chin: "Tao, listen well, this king warns you for the last time, don't waste this king's heart and become my beauty?" Do you know what I want? If you really want to become my beauty, you must remember not to exceed the four words of duty, if some people dare to calculate, not to mention the slightest injury, even if it is to make the heart uncertain, this king will not hesitate to use your life, Bo Qi happy. β
He crouched down like a very gentle whisper, and only Dow could sense the coolness of his snort.
"Jealousy, hatred, and poison, you don't deserve it, this king is not a plaything in your hands, and you can manipulate it like a puppet."
