Chapter 11: The Show Begins
"It's still early, why don't you sleep more?" An Zheyu smiled dotingly at Li Wanqing.
Last night was a night long, and both of them were a little tired.
Li Wanqing also had the corners of her mouth crooked, faced An Zheyu and put on her clothes, and said, "Today is the first day that the concubine married into King An's mansion, so you need to get up early to ask your grandfather and mother for peace." ”
"Or are you sensible, alas... Then I'll get up too, can I freshen up with you?"
"Hmm...!"
Seeing the two of them so affectionate, they were really envious of others, and the people who were waiting to freshen up all smiled happily.
In contrast, Tang Wanwan, the princess, still failed a little, although the court was cold, she still slept peacefully.
In order to fulfill the acting skills of the princess, Tang Wanwan forced himself to sleep until three o'clock in the sun.
There were several groups of people urging her before, but she just pretended to be asleep and didn't say anything, and the subordinates were not too presumptuous, so she could only shake her head.
And they are talking in private: "This woman from the countryside is not as beautiful as everyone from the imperial city, and she doesn't understand the rules like this." ”
Lingzhi laughed in his heart: "It seems that my young lady is really spoiled by the old lady, and she dares to play with her husband's family like this on the first day after getting married." Seeing that there was no one around at this moment, she hurriedly took the things Tang Wanwan wanted and entered the room......
Although An Zheyu was named the prince since he was a child, he did not open another mansion. still lives in this King An Mansion with Old Prince An, but the courtyard is separated by a wall.
An Zheyu and Li Wanqing had already snuggled up to the old prince's residence, and did not invite Tang Wanwan to join them.
Seeing that it was about to be lunch, Tang Wanwan walked to the old prince's Qinglan Courtyard in a hurry, but he still wore a thick veil on his face, and he didn't know what she was going to do.
When he entered the hall with the housekeeper, he found that the family had already entered the table, and Tang Wanwan was standing alone, which seemed a little out of place.
Li Wanqing smiled secretly and wanted to see what happened to her, but when she looked up and saw that she covered half of her face with a veil, and her eyes looked swollen, she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart, so she swept her eyes to the maid Bing'er on the side, and Bing'er also shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.
Under the guidance of Lingzhi, she greeted them one by one and offered this belated new tea.
The old prince's originally displeased face gradually showed a smile, and said, "Daughter-in-law is polite, sit down and eat." ”
"Yes, grandfather. ”
Seeing that there was still a vacant seat next to An Zheyu, she didn't think much about it, and sat on the vacant seat on Gu Zichun's side with the help of Lingzhi. But it surprised everyone.
"I'm late, haha. ”
As he spoke, a man in purple walked in, and even Princess Anding got up to salute him.
It turned out that he was the tenth son of the current emperor - King Yi.
Speaking of which, the current emperor and the old prince were born to the same parents, and this King Yi is the same generation as King Anding, but the bloodline is more noble.
"Greetings to Uncle Huang. ”
"His Royal Highness King Yi is polite, please come to the table. ”
You don't have to be polite, please be seated.
Princess Anding got up to give up her seat, but was blocked back by him and said, "Ordinary family banquets, it's okay, it's okay." After saying that, he glanced at the table, and when he saw the vacant seat next to An Zheyu, he swept his gaze to Tang Wanwan again, and the smile immediately went straight to the bottom of his eyes.
Then, he pretended to be nothing, swaggered to An Zheyu's side, and smiled at him with deep meaning, which made the other party a little inexplicable, and he just gave his hand to say hello.
"What does the daughter-in-law mean by this, why do you still wear a veil when you eat?"
Princess Anding found an opportunity and opened her mouth to ask Tang Wanwan, and suddenly, all eyes looked at her.
"Back to my mother, my daughter-in-law drank the decoction sent by a maid in the house yesterday. ”
"Oh, do you see which maid it is, but do you remember what it looks like?"
"My daughter-in-law didn't know that I had fallen asleep when she came yesterday, and it was my maid Lingzhi who took it and sent it into my room. ”
"Ganoderma lucidum. Tang Wanwan shouted softly.
"The slave is here. ”
"Do you remember what that servant girl looked like?"
"Princess, slave maid remember......"
"Return to the princess, it's a slave!"
Before Lingzhi's words fell, the maidservant girl who delivered the decoction yesterday stood up and knelt on the ground.
"Back to my mother, this is the maid brought by my daughter-in-law from her mother's house in the imperial city. ”
"This...?" Li Wanqing also suddenly got up and spoke, provoking the princess not knowing how to answer.
"What's going on?" the old prince also spoke with a straight face.
Li Wanqing hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "Return to grandfather and mother." Yesterday before going to bed, my daughter-in-law's personal maid Bing'er cooked ginseng soup for me and Shizi to get tired, and my daughter-in-law remembered her sister and asked Bing'er to send a bowl of it. ”
"Yes, my grandson also drank it, it was indeed ginseng soup. An Zheyu looked at Li Wanqing dotingly, proving it for her.
"They were right. Tang Wanwan deliberately lowered his head and said: "What Bing'er sent over was indeed ginseng soup, but the daughter-in-law didn't know why she couldn't fall asleep after drinking it, and her face and body were covered with red rashes, and the daughter-in-law was afraid of losing her manners, so she had to cover up the affected area." ”
Tang Wanwan said very aggrieved, the old prince didn't like Li Wanqing in the first place, so he immediately thought that she wanted to squeeze out Gu Wanwan's game. The face suddenly turned unpleasant.
Princess Anding was too, but she didn't show it, she just looked at Li Wanqing quietly, wanting to see how she explained.
"It's... Wanqing and I both drank, why are we okay? Did you deliberately hurt yourself and come here to slander her!"
An Zheyu's kung fu to protect his wife is really not covered.
"Why does His Royal Highness say this, the slave is really not worth it for my young lady!"
Gu Zichun also lost his temper, he was going to go back today, but he just wanted to say goodbye to his sister in person, and the old prince had the heart to entertain, so he waited until this afternoon, fortunately he didn't leave, otherwise he wouldn't know how others harmed his sister!
Tang Wan's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the grumpy brother and squeezed his eyes at him, Gu Zichun was puzzled, but he also quieted down. It's just that King Yi's eyes are sharp, but he saw this scene, thinking that there will be a good show to watch later, and he unconsciously picked up the wine glass and tasted it himself: "Hmm... Good wine!"
Lingzhi also "pretended" to wipe his tears, and the old prince was even more sure of his guess.
"Lingzhi, you say, what the hell is going on!"
An Zheyu wanted to refute, but was pressed back by the old prince's angry shout.
"Yes!" she paused before continuing, "Last night, the young lady had been waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince in the new room, thinking that even if the Prince wanted to have a cave with another princess, she should come over and lift her hijab and drink the cup of wine. I didn't know that I didn't see His Royal Highness the Prince come in the middle of the night, and the young lady felt tired, and she also knew that His Royal Highness the Prince would not come, so she asked the slave maid to serve and sleep. ”
When the old prince heard this, his face became even more difficult to look at. An Zheyu was not easy to refute, but he lowered his head and didn't speak, but he scolded Tang Wanwan in his heart.
Lingzhi looked at her young lady and continued: "As soon as my young lady fell asleep, this sister named Bing'er came to knock on the door and said a lot of ugly things!"
"What words?" asked the princess.
Sister Bing'er said that the night was long, and asking the young lady to drink this bowl of soup and medicine could avoid the loneliness of staying alone in the empty room. ”
"The slave didn't say anything!"
Bing'er lay on the ground and argued for herself.
"Do you dare to say that you didn't say it, then do you dare to swear? If you say it, you will choke to death if you drink water in the future, do you dare?" Lingzhi asked her angrily.
"I... I... Slaves... The slave swore ...... "Bing'er has been hesitant for a long time, and she has not been able to utter a complete sentence.
Lingzhi was in a hurry, and shouted, "You said it!"
"Lingzhi, forget it, don't force her. Tang Wanwan immediately pretended to be humane.
"Miss, you're just too kind, that's why they come to bully you. Lingzhi said deliberately.
"Grandfather, mother. I think it's my maid who is ignorant and collided with Sister Gu, and Wanqing is here to compensate for her. Bing'er, don't apologize to Concubine Gu Shi soon!"
"Ho! You are both the wives of the sons, why did you add the name of your mother's family to Wan'er? Don't you think you are superior?"
"Grandfather!"
An Zheyu saw his grandfather reprimanding his beloved wife like this, and he couldn't help but defend her for a while.
"Alright!" the old prince slapped his right hand on the table and said, "You go on!"
Lingzhi nodded and continued: "After the young lady drank their ginseng soup, she slept until she was ready, and her face was covered with red rashes, which was itchy and unbearable, but she was afraid that she would delay the elders to say goodbye, so she held on." Miss... Miss... Woo..."After speaking, he didn't forget to add some tears, which made the old prince even more annoyed.
"You are talking nonsense, Wanqing obviously sent someone to send ordinary ginseng soup, how come it turned into poison when you arrived? Could it be that you poisoned yourself in order to slander Wanqing!" An Zheyu couldn't help but be furious.
"You...!"
Gu Zichun was not to be outdone, and stood up and was about to make a move, but was pulled by Tang Wanwan again.
"Brother, I'm fine. If the prince said that I poisoned myself, then why did I do this?"
She glanced at An Zheyu, and then glanced at Li Wanqing, heh, she really looks okay, no wonder this An Shizi is so precious.
"Do I want to compete for favor?
She said to herself: "I don't even know you, I only saw you today, why should I fight for a man I don't love? Even if you don't want to see me, I'm still the princess of this Anwang Mansion, unless I say... Do any of you want to harm me, and you won't let me do it?"
She pointed at the two of them with her hand: "Hmm... In that case, both of you are suspicious. ”
"You...!" An Zheyu was once again enraged by her.
It's just that Tang Wanwan didn't look at him, just continued: "Eh, don't worry, I still have something to say." Since none of you harm me, then I can spend this life in peace, why bother to practice myself to fight for things that do not belong to me, I am not so boring, rather than this, it is better to embroider and embroider every day, play the piano, and fish to be leisurely. ”
Seeing that everyone was silent, she simply took off her veil. Everyone gasped when they saw it, and thought, "This is simply disfigured!"
I saw that none of the skin on my face was intact, and I couldn't see the original appearance clearly.
After Tang Wanwan finished arranging it himself, he also had a bad chill, and he almost committed a dense phobia! Lingzhi still thought she was exaggerating, but looking at the faces of the old prince and the princess, she knew that Li Wanqing was going to be unlucky.
King Yi couldn't hold back, a sip of wine squirted out, he smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." This king couldn't hold back all of a sudden, abrupt, abrupt. ”
Tang Wanwan gave him a roll of the eye, and he smiled and took it.
It's just that Gu Zichun didn't follow it, and he wanted justice for everything, and threatened to take his sister away. lest she be killed in the future, and she will not be in harmony.
The old prince and the princess talked a little bit about it, and Tang Wanwan comforted him a few words. A big man's tears flowed from his eyes.
This sister who hurts his heart, except for him, others can't be bullied, and neither can his brother-in-law!
