Body Chapter 163: She's Smarter Than You
Thirty boards...... This, the third eldest princess obviously wants the life of that grandmother.
All the people in the temple could not help but hold their breath.
"Your Highness!" Du Qingyu begged in a lamented voice: "Although Mama Zhang is wrong, but the crime is not like this, I beg Her Royal Highness the Third Eldest Princess to punish Mama Zhang lightly......"
"Sin doesn't end there! What do you mean!? The third eldest princess immediately scolded in a coquettish voice: "Are you blaming the palace for not knowing the rewards and punishments?"
"No, it's not ......" Du Qingyu said busily: "The courtiers don't dare to ......"
"Humph! Forgive me for not daring! The third eldest princess snorted coldly in disdain and shouted, "Banchu! ”
Wei Man saw that the palace maid who had pushed down Wei Feng just now came out.
"You can take someone to the Wenguo Mansion now!" The third eldest princess said coldly: "You have to count it yourself, the palace rewards Mama Zhang's thirty boards, and not a single board is missing!" ”
"The slave obeys." Ban Chu replied respectfully, then bowed down, and the departing figure brought a gust of cold wind in the silent hall.
After Ban Chu left, the third eldest princess continued to look at Du Qingyu and Du Ziyu who were kneeling on the ground with meaningless eyes.
"Imperial sister," the second eldest princess, who had never spoken, finally spoke up, and she said softly: "Second Miss Du and Fourth Miss Du are also unintentional...... Before the banquet started, the royal sister spared them and let them go back to their positions first. ”
The third eldest princess frowned, and was about to refute the words of the second eldest princess, at this time, her sleeves were gently pulled, and the third eldest princess looked at Shen Manzhu on the side impatiently, and let Shen Manzhu whisper a few words in her ear, only to see her eyes light up, revealing a somewhat evil smile, and said to the two Du sisters: "That's it, for the sake of the imperial sister's face, the palace will not worry about you first, you can sit down." ”
Du Qingyu and Du Ziyu were busy thanking the third eldest princess and the second eldest princess, and then they supported each other to get up, and retreated to the seat of the Wenguo Mansion under the guidance of the palace maid.
Wei Man's heart couldn't help but be a little worried about the two sisters of the Du family, because she found that the seats of the Wenguo Mansion were actually very high, which would have been forgotten in the past, but judging from the attitude of the third eldest princess towards the two sisters of the Du family, it was obviously not a good sign that the seats were so high......
Wei Man, who was worried about the two Du sisters, suddenly noticed that there was a line of sight in front of her, and when she looked at it by feeling, Wei Man happened to be looking at the person, and for a while, Wei Man couldn't help but be stunned.
Liu Jinghui was very calm, and when she saw Wei Man looking over, she looked away indifferently.
Wei Man's eyes blinked twice, and he looked away.
During this period, two palace maids quickly cleaned up the stains caused by the wine glass thrown by the third eldest princess just now, and the palace also resumed its previous words and smiles.
Soon, I saw the second eldest princess and the third eldest princess standing up from the seat.
What Wei Man didn't expect was that the person who presided over the dinner tonight was not the sixteen-year-old second eldest princess, but the third eldest princess who was just ten years old.
I saw a faint smile on the face of the second eldest princess, standing quietly beside the third eldest princess, and the third eldest princess looked around the hall with dignity, and then calmly conveyed the will of the queen mother, and finally raised the clear wine glass in her hand and drank it all.
The guests in the hall all stood up, raised the cups in their hands, first thanked the Queen Mother for shooting the two eldest princesses, and then drank the fruit wine in the cup.
Seeing that everyone had drunk everything, the third eldest princess clasped her hands together and patted them twice, and said coquettishly: "Feast!" ”
The tune played on the orchestra changed abruptly.
Two rows of slender dancers walked briskly from the side to the center of the seat, slowly dancing with the beautiful music.
On the seat of the Wenguo Mansion.
"Sister, I, I'm afraid, let's go back......" Du Ziyu grabbed Du Qingyu's arm tightly, and whispered in a trembling voice, she thought that tonight was just listening to a few sour words, but she didn't want to, the third eldest princess smashed her wine glass as soon as she made a move, and then asked for her mother's life...... And I saw that the people who had stammered her before were staring at her with resentful and mocking eyes...... This was completely different from what Du Ziyu imagined in her heart, until this moment, the little pride she had left in her heart was finally shattered.
"Do you think I don't want to go back?" Du Qingyu looked at the dancing girl in front of him with a blank expression, pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly, and said, "Don't forget your father's instructions, we, we can only go back after the banquet is over......"
Speaking of this, Du Qingyu couldn't help but feel that her eyes were a little hot, and she thought sadly in her heart, her father thought that as long as she and her fourth sister came to this peony banquet and were angry, they would be able to ensure the stability of the Wenguo Mansion for a while...... However, after my aunt went, where could the Wenguo Mansion be stable, everything she and her fourth sister suffered today was just a little bit of interest in the eyes of the nobles......
Du Ziyu had a cold war, but she still remembered Wen Guogong's last instruction, that is, even if she was killed, she could only be brought out after the dinner...... Du Ziyu was so frightened that she couldn't help but whimper in a low voice.
"Stop crying!" Du Qingyu shouted in a low voice: "Be careful, the third eldest princess will blame you for not having rules when she sees it!" ”
Hearing the words of the third eldest princess, Du Ziyu was immediately frightened, she bit her lip and held back her crying, peeking her eyes to look up, but saw that the third eldest princess was surrounded by several noble girls talking about something, she seemed to be very happy when she looked at it, and did not pay attention to them.
In the past, she was the object of being curryed favor in the center of everyone......
Du Ziyu's heart was scared, resentful and unwilling.
"Be honest." Du Qingyu said again.
Du Ziyu saw Du Qingyu, who seemed to be very calm, and for a while, all the emotions in her heart turned into dissatisfaction with Du Ziyu, and she said angrily: "It's all your fault!" It's all your fault! My aunt used to take you into the palace every day, but you didn't take advantage of the opportunity, and what did you say about the first beauty in the capital, how could you even ...... the emperor?"
Du Qingyu suddenly grabbed Du Ziyu's wrist.
The pain in her wrist and Du Qingyu's cold gaze made Du Ziyu have to swallow all the chatter and complaints back into her stomach.
Du Qingyu saw that Du Ziyu finally lowered her head softly, and the grievance and anger in her eyes were revealed, she knew that now the hope of the whole mansion was pinned on her to enter the palace, and she also knew in her heart that the Wenguo Mansion could still be based in the capital, also because she might enter the palace...... The entire Wenguo Mansion, and even the people in the capital, seem to be sure that the emperor is a little different from her, the "first beauty in the capital", but thinking of the taciturn three princes back then and the current emperor, Du Qingyu himself has no confidence at all.
Today, the third eldest princess is afraid that she will not let her go easily, Du Qingyu thought sadly in her heart, but she was faintly excited in her heart, she guessed that after tonight, maybe she could know whether the emperor was different from her......
Du Qingyu thought about it for a moment, and then came back to his senses, but saw Du Ziyu beside him drinking stuffy wine one by one.
Thinking that Du Ziyu's amount of wine was very shallow, Du Qingyu hurriedly snatched the wine glass in Du Ziyu's hand, smelled it, and she immediately noticed that Du Ziyu was drinking the strongest of several fruit wines, and she was both uneasy and annoyed, and said in a low voice: "You can't drink anymore." ”
Du Ziyu was drinking to strengthen her courage, but after listening to Du Qingyu's words, she rebellious for a while, and she actually reached out and grabbed the wine glass in Du Qingyu's hand and drank it all.
"You!" Du Qingyu looked at Du Ziyu in disbelief, she couldn't have imagined that Du Ziyu didn't know the severity at this time.
Du Ziyu glanced at Du Qingyu defiantly, poured himself a glass of wine, and then drank it again.
"You can't drink it......" Du Qingyu hurriedly stopped him.
……
When the dancing girl was spinning in circles and making Wei Man a little dizzy, Wei Feng suddenly leaned over and whispered to Wei Man, "Sister, I'll go out and take some breath." ”
Wei Man hurriedly grabbed Wei Feng's arm, and said with some concern: "What's wrong with you, this is Lu Leek Garden after all, you ......"
Speaking of this, Wei Man saw Wei Feng's obviously pale complexion, and as if he was breathing very badly, paused, Wei Man let go of his hand, and instructed, "Don't go far." ”
Wei Feng nodded, and accompanied by the maid, he quickly disappeared into the hall.
"Don't look any further?" Leng Xi saw that Wei Man had been staring at the direction where Wei Feng disappeared, and couldn't help but smile: "She is such a big person, she will take care of herself, you can rest assured, nothing will happen." ”
Wei Man retracted his gaze and said with some embarrassment: "I'm just a little worried about her body, she seems to be scared." ”
Actually, Wei Man felt that Wei Feng made her feel a little abnormal tonight.
Leng Xi thought about Wei Feng who had just taken a look, shook his head, and said, "She is much smarter than you, you have the kung fu to worry about her, you might as well plan for yourself." ”
When Wei Man heard Leng Xi say this, his face couldn't help but be stunned, and he smiled: "It turns out that I am actually a stupid person in the eyes of Sister Leng?" No, Sister Leng didn't say anything about it today, but I didn't follow it. ”
Leng Xi smiled and said, "I'm just talking about it...... Your fourth sister is very similar to someone I knew before, she, she is very smart, so I think your fourth sister should also be a smart ...... Besides, as a concubine, she can ask for an extra post of a peony banquet for her in your house, doesn't this prove that she is quite scheming? ”
Thinking that he didn't know who Wei Feng had entrusted to get the post, Wei Man had to smile and didn't say anything.
At this time, the dancers stopped dancing and retreated lightly together.
As soon as the music stopped, the hall fell silent.
The third eldest princess, whose face was a little red, stood up from the main seat and laughed loudly: "This palace has heard Du Guifei praise Miss Du Si's piano skills, so take this opportunity to play a song for everyone." ”
As soon as the third eldest princess's words fell, she saw two palace maids carefully carrying a guqin to the banquet.
Everyone looked at the seats in the Wenguo Mansion, but saw that Du Qingyu was shaking Du Ziyu lying on the table, but Du Ziyu just shook his head and continued to sleep, obviously looking drunk and unconscious.
"Huh!" Shen Manzhu smiled coldly: "Is Miss Du Si asleep?" ”
