Mu Qing also remembered the time of coaxing, and when he saw Chu Nian's indulgent eyes, he suddenly held back the words of rejection in his mouth, and his feet were vacated.

"Then I'll come first, but I'll punish you for it."

Chu Nian looked at her menacing appearance, she smiled, and the old eunuch helped her get off the lotus lantern, and then she said: "Okay, although you compare, if you win, you will be yours, and if you lose, you will be mine." ”

With that, she paced to a table of plum wine with a stake, and sat down calmly, as if she was ready to drink it.

Mu Qing felt that he had been insulted by Chu Nian, and raised his eyebrows, "Look, I am the daughter of the Mu family, how can I lose." ”

The women on the boat suddenly coaxed again, the big drums on the two boats sounded, Shen Ruan watched Chu Nian walk off the stage, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while, he smiled with relief as if he understood something, and he began to dance his body.

Not to be outdone, Mu Qing took off her outer robe, and was wearing a red gauze underneath, two pieces of red cloth covering her chest and under her slender waist respectively.

The folk customs of Western Chu are more open than those of Kyoto, and the women's style is also irresistible, and the dance is even more infuriating; The folk customs in Kyoto are more conservative, and a woman's waist is considered disqualified, not to mention that she is provoking the fire, under the fine drumbeat, Shen Ruan did not even have a trace of a slightly too fast movement, and for a while, the cheers of the first boat were obviously higher than the second boat.

Shen Ruan knew that her dancing skills were no match for Mu Qing, so she reluctantly took the plum wine handed by the eunuch and swallowed it in one gulp, and took the flute on the side - I don't know if it was because she heard that Chu Nian played the flute on the prince's birthday, she also specially prepared a flute today, just to show off at the lotus banquet.

Regardless of whether her opponent is Chu Nian or not, she just wants Chu Nian to know that she is stronger!

Seeing Shen Ruan pick up the bamboo flute from a distance, Mu Qing smiled contemptuously, stretched out his hand, and a pipa suddenly fell into Mu Qing's hand from the night sky.

Chu Nian sat under the stage and drank tea calmly, looking at the inky outline of the disappearing source of the pipa next to the lotus lamp, and gently hooked the corners of her lips, it seems that Zhen Yuan is waiting for this alliance, she is not wrong.

At this time, a woman dressed in wealth and dignity with her hair in a bun came and sat beside Chu Nian without saying hello, but said with a gentle smile: "Three ladies? ”

Chu Nian looked back and saw a light-colored mole on her chin, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

The daughter of the Wang family that Shen Du married was rumored to be an ugly girl, precisely because she had a mole on her chin, but now it seems that the rumors are slightly distorted, if there is no mole, this Wang family can be regarded as a beauty.

"Mrs. Shen."

Wang smiled lightly, "The third lady can know me, it is my third life lucky." ”

"The little girl is talented, I have heard that Mrs. Shen is generous, and today I have seen it."

Hypocritical and polite, Wang's eyes sparkled, "I heard that the third lady solved a problem for her husband earlier, Ruan Er is really thanks to the care of the third lady, what is the matter with the child?" ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, and asked Rong'er when he came up? She really didn't know that Rong'er was Shen Dui's child?

However, thinking of the five hundred taels of silver in his hand and the blackened face of Shen Duan, he was really happy.

"Mrs. Shen laughed, Jishitang opened the door to save people."

Wang shook his head undeniably, and with a smile he seemed to have no idea about Chu Nian's pit of Shen Duan's five hundred taels, "Ruan Er is young and ignorant, don't care too much about the third lady, and ......"

"Can the little girl understand that Mrs. Shen is saying that the little girl is not sensible? After all, the little girl still has two years to go, and Shen Erniang ...... her."

At the end of the year, it's time to go.

Looking at Shang Chu Nian's smiling eyes, Wang's face stiffened, and he lowered his head as if he was aggrieved, "I'm sorry, Sanniang, it's me who lost my temper." ”

Chu Nian glanced at her quickly, "Madame doesn't have to mind, the little girl is young and ignorant." ”

Wang's face turned red, and he got up and left.

This woman has been able to stay by Shen Dui's side for so long, Chu Nian doesn't feel that her purpose of coming to make friends is the same as the queen, the queen is just the daughter of the Wang family, and she was not raised by Wang Zixuan's side since she was a child, but this one is different, this one, but Wang Zixuan's concubine, is definitely much more difficult to deal with than Xiao Chen and Shen Ruan.

Moreover, if she investigates her previous life, but before her marriage contract with Shen Dui was dissolved, there was already an ambiguity between the Wang family and Shen Dui, but she had no intention of restraining Shen Dui, turning a blind eye, but it turned a big disaster.

Shen Du knew that she was not stupid, and the Wang family might not think so, but she was afraid that she still felt that she had robbed the rumored man of Su Liuniang, and she was the smartest woman in the world.

Chu Nian was right, as soon as the Wang family left their seats, they hurried towards the boathouse, and at this moment, the queen mother in the room was holding a teacup and drinking bamboo leaves, seemingly not caring about the competition of the ladies outside.

"The Queen Mother."

"You asked you to inquire about everything?"

The Wang family respectfully blessed the body, and his face was completely devoid of the embarrassment when he dealt with Chu Nian, "Yes, Chu San rejected her great-grandson for no reason, thinking that her statement with her father is false." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that the one in her heart is Liu Qi?" ”

Wang shook his head and said that he didn't know, "Sun Er just said a few words, and she drove him back, and Sun Er couldn't find out about the rest." ”

Her eyes sank for a while, and the Queen Mother waved her hand, "Go ahead, call Liu Qi over, and say that the mourning family has something to discuss with him, by the way, since things have changed...... Let's do what needs to be done in advance. ”

Wang's eyes flashed slightly, "Yes." ”

At this moment, Chu Nian's attention is on the competition between Shen Ruan and Mu Qing, and now the competition has been in full swing, although Mu Qing's talent is not inferior to Shen Ruan, but the Zhenyuan Houfu is a family of military generals, and when it comes to the poetry session, Mu Qing wants to ask Chu Nian for help, but he is beaten back by the old eunuch who is a referee on the field.

After such a while, more than half of the plum wine on the table had already entered Chu Nian's stomach, but it seemed that Shen Ruan was not comfortable, after all, she had also drunk at least a whole table of plum wine - even if it was not intoxicating, a whole table of plum wine, a cup of plum wine could have a small tea cup, and it was enough to make Shen Ruan's stomach full of water.

At this time, Mu Qing happened to lose another game, she looked at Chu Nian helplessly, Chu Nian smiled helplessly, she just picked up the wine cup, but was knocked to the ground by Chu Er who was passing by.

Seeing Chu Nian's white dress dyed red by plum wine, Chu Er apologized unusually repeatedly, as if the person who was poured plum wine was not her.

At the stall where Chu Nian frowned, a little eunuch stepped forward to lead Chu Nian towards the boathouse, his clothes were dirty, so he naturally wanted to change his clothes.

The houseboat used for changing clothes is in the easternmost part, and it is separated from the room where the Queen Mother stays in three rooms, and various costumes are hung in the room, all of which are prepared for the ladies for fear of changes in the banquet.

An unknown incense is rising in the corner.

The old eunuch led Chu Nian to the place, then saluted and left, Chu Nian picked out an elegant one, took off his long shirt and was about to change into it, but he had just faded to his middle coat, and frowned without a trace.

This incense doesn't taste right.

She hurriedly held her breath, changed into the elegant clothes, and was about to go out, but the door was locked from the outside.

Heh, she thought that Xiao Chen's would be honest this night, so it seemed that she really underestimated Xiao Chen's courage.

There was an aura behind him, Chu Nian was dignified, and leaned towards the door with a weak appearance.

"Hey, little lady, lean here, it's warm here."

Chu Nian slowly turned his head and saw an extremely ugly-looking man - eyes the size of mung beans, a big melon seed face, an extremely long chin, two front teeth exposed in the air, and his withered hands were slowly approaching, and between breathing and breathing, a foul smell was emanating, and he didn't know how long he hadn't rinsed his mouth.

"Who are you?"

"The little lady asked, I am your future husband, and the household Li Rang ......"

"Who called you here?"

The man's subordinate paused, and then stretched out again, "The family affair between us was set by your mother, so don't waste time, anyway, hide this time, and next time." ”

Chu Nian sneered, this person is not a fool, and he knows that she is delaying time, why is she so blind.

The man saw Chu Nian sneering, and a disgusting lewd smile oozed from the corner of his mouth, "Yo, I'm still a strong little lady, it's okay, I like strong as a husband...... Yes! ”

Chu Nian kicked the man's crotch hard, and the man screamed, holding his crotch and kneeling to the ground.

This incense has an aphrodisiac effect, Li Rang has been in this house for almost an hour, and he has already been awakened by the incense to wake up the little brother, Chu Nian's foot did not leave any affection, at that moment Li Rang heard the crisp sound of broken bones, I am afraid that he will not be able to let the little brother meet other little ladies again in his life.

Chu Nian got the news he wanted, and with a light smile, he split the wooden door with a palm, and the aphrodisiac incense was still burning, but it dispersed along the wind blowing out of the door.

"Three...... Wife? ”

As soon as Chu Nian walked out of the door, he saw Liu Qi with a puzzled face.

"General Liu?" Chu Nian looked at him with a smile, "Isn't the lotus banquet only attended by female dependents?" Why is General Liu here? ”

Liu Qi looked at the almost shattered door behind Chu Nian with a stiff face, and the lewd man in the room who was holding his crotch and screaming, after a while, he didn't say a word, his face was awe-inspiring, and with a palm slap, the obscene man's eyes were closed, and he was completely silent.

Chu Nian squinted at Liu Qi's movements and didn't say a word.

"This wicked man has done such evil things!"

Liu Qi clapped his hands and turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian worriedly, "Third lady, are you okay?" ”

His eyes flashed slightly, Chu Nian shook his head and smiled playfully, "Thank you Lord Liu for fighting for the little girl." ”

Liu Qi kicked the corpse that was in the way again, and walked out of the door, "It's about the reputation of women, and the fewer people who know, the better." ”

Chu Nian didn't care about Li Rang's life and death, anyway, the information she wanted to know had already been known, but she doubted that there was any Queen Mother who was also involved.

"General Liu came to save the little girl on purpose?"

Hearing this, Liu Qi turned his eyes, just facing Chu Nian's watery eyes, which were still the dark whirlpool, in the blink of an eye, Liu Qi felt that his hairs stood on end, and his tone suddenly softened, "It's Ruan'er, she said that something big is going to happen here, I was curious, so I came over, I didn't expect ......"

Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, Xiao Chen's helper was Shen Ruan? The fascination incense was obviously set up in advance, and the man was also prepared a long time ago, could it be that Shen Ruan also had someone to support him in the palace?
