Day 3.

The arrival of the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the most important communication and exchange between the two countries, and the State of Chu naturally did not slack off, and personally sent the crown prince Luan Wenzhi to greet him. At the same time, He Xiaoxiao had also disguised herself as an ordinary woman and infiltrated the post house where the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty were staying, and told Gu Jiming some information that Jiang Cailing got in advance.

Jiang Cailing, who was preparing for the reception banquet in the evening, was already dizzy with hunger at this time, and for a meat eater who had not touched a single bit of meat for three consecutive days, it was simply an extremely cruel torture.

After doing the exercise, Jiang Cailing was paralyzed on the bed, she didn't want to move at all now, especially when she felt that the fat on her waist was not getting smaller at all, and the whole person collapsed.

When Rouge came in to deliver the jewelry worn by the Feng Banquet, she saw Jiang Cailing lying on the bed with a depressed face, and she couldn't help but have a plan in her heart, she was moved by Du Nianyu's friendship with sisters, but she didn't have any chance to repay her.

Now, however, the opportunity has come.

Taking advantage of Jiang Cailing's tiredness and weakness at this time, He Xiaoxiao was not beside her, so she could just move her hands and feet. Thinking of this, Rouge put the sweat pill that had been prepared early in the teacup. In the past few days, the whole house has seen the strange behavior of the mother, and it is not the most strange that she faints when she is tired and hungry.

Once Niangniang faints and can't participate in the reception banquet, then the person who replaces Niangniang to participate in the banquet will be Sister Nianyu!

……

Jiang Cailing woke up and found that it was already dark, and hurriedly asked the maid waiting beside her, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, it's already a moment of unitary time."

"What?" Jiang Cailing was stunned on the bed, she just lay on the bed for a while to rest, how could time pass so quickly?

The reception banquet was held at three o'clock, and now it can be caught up when I rush to the Chu Palace, so Jiang Cailing quickly left the bed and sat down in front of the ivory dressing table, "Hurry up, help me comb my hair, the sooner the better." ”

Seeing Jiang Cailing's posture, the maid replied weakly, "Your Highness originally came to see how you were preparing this afternoon, but when I saw you sleeping, I said that Niangniang, you have been too tired recently, so I didn't let the slave call you up, and then His Highness saw that you hadn't woken up yet, so he took Mrs. Du to go, and the carriage was estimated to have arrived at the palace at this time." ”

When Jiang Cailing heard this, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she said to Rouge, "Rouge, you go and inform the housekeeper to let him prepare a carriage, and I will rush to the banquet before the reception banquet starts." ”

Rouge was stunned, "Mrs. Du is already on the table now, if you go, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed." ”

Jiang Cailing's eyes narrowed, she seemed to remember, she had begun to feel sleepy since she was thirsty and drank the cup of tea brought by rouge.

However, now Jiang Cailing didn't have time to worry about rouge, and her eyes turned cold, "Concubine Ben doesn't want to repeat what she just said." ”

Rouge was so frightened that she disappeared into the doorway.

……

Chu Palace, Dream Garden.

Under the arrangement of various colored lanterns, the dark blue moon sky has been dyed red, except for the faint brightness of the moon, all the stars in the sky are dim under the illumination of the lights.

The banquet has not yet begun, and the people who are all dressed exquisitely are smiling and smiling, and it is the best opportunity for the dignitaries to exchange greetings at this time, Su Qingcheng went to the men's pile, and Du Nianyu stood under the flowers, looking demure.

Most of the hearts of people are longing and yearning for kindness, pity and compassion for the weak.

Du Nianyu, as the weak party in the big incident a few days ago, soon became the center of many gossiping people. Mrs. Shilang is one of them, after seeing that Du Nianyu is a slender and weak person, the sense of justice and gossip in her heart exploded instantly, and she pretended to start the topic with "The color of this lady's rouge is so beautiful".

Du Nianyu wore a silk pipa top, and a Yanyun Palace satin skirt under it, with no more than three colors on her body, and the jewelry on her head was also simple and plain, giving people a gentle and harmless sense of sight. So even if Du Nianyu is good-looking, she will not be excluded by people of the same sex, because in their eyes, she is like a rabbit and is not aggressive.

As soon as Mrs. Shilang thought of the anger she had suffered in the restaurant last time, she deliberately said loudly: "I have also heard about the incident on the day of the Xia Yuan Festival, but fortunately you have not been harmed. It's not that I said, the Ten Imperial Concubines are really intolerable, and they would think of such a vicious way to frame you. ”

Originally, the ladies and ladies around me didn't mention this matter directly because of their face, but now that someone started up, they started talking about it one after another.

Du Nianyu hurriedly explained, "No. This incident was actually a misunderstanding, and I don't know who wanted to discredit our Ten Princes' Mansion and deliberately made this rumor. My mother was very good to me, sympathetic to my weak body, did not force me to say hello in the morning, and was generous and easy-going. ”

When Yumei heard this, she whispered with a complaint next to her, "If Niangniang is really so good, you won't be bullied like this, madam!" ”

Originally, some people who believed that Jiang Cailing was wronged heard Yumei's words, and realized that it was this Mrs. Du who was empathetic, and she had to help the person who harmed her when she was wronged, and for a while the accusations against Jiang Cailing were particularly fierce.

Although Du Nianyu intended to guide everyone to pity her, she didn't want to delay Su Qingcheng's hegemony again because of herself, so she raised her face seriously and scolded, "Yumei, don't talk nonsense!" ”

In the distance, the Zhao family, who saw this scene in their eyes, couldn't help but muttered in their hearts, although she and the Ten Imperial Princesses had only met a few times, but they knew that she was not such a sinister person, but she told others that others only thought that she was confused by Jiang Cailing.

"Sister Du, are you feeling better?" A delicate voice came, and everyone looked at it, only to see a girl wearing a pink palace dress with a treasure pattern walking quickly, it was Wu Xiaoyao, the young lady of the Wu family.

Wu Xiaoyao held Du Nianyu's hand worriedly, "I frightened my sister last time during the Xia Yuan Festival, and I heard that Sister Du came today, so I specially brought a gift for my sister to suppress the shock." ”

As he spoke, he took out a red velvet box from his sleeve cage, took out a Ganoderma lucidum bamboo pattern hosta, and put it on Du Nianyu's cloud temples with a smile, and then said with a smile: "This hairpin is elegant and pure, as soon as I see it, I think of Sister Du who is as quiet as the moon shining on the floating flowers!" ”

Wu Xiaoyao once wanted to block Du Nianyu's mouth in the name of visiting Du Nianyu when she was recuperating from her injuries, but she didn't expect that the Ten Princes' Mansion would send her back with some high-sounding excuses.

Originally, Wu Xiaoyao was worried that Du Nianyu would leak her mouth, but these days, there has been no news that is unfavorable to her, thinking that Du Nianyu is either so frightened that she forgot or deliberately didn't say it, in short, no matter what the reason is, it is enough for Jiang Cailing to sit on this black pot.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, so in order to completely defeat Jiang Cailing, Wu Xiaoyao naturally will not let go of the opportunity to become friends with Du Nianyu.

And saying bad things about the common enemy is the best way to close the distance, even if others believe that this Du Nianyu has a compassionate heart, but she doesn't believe it. As long as there are people in the world, there will be jealousy and strife, and it can only be said that this Du Nianyu is not a simple woman.

Jiang Cailing has such a number one person by her side, which is gratifying for Wu Xiaoyao, so she smiled and said: "If you want me to say, I think that the county lord of Yunyang is far less than Sister Du, just in case, if she was not born under the door of Yipinhou Mansion, according to her arrogant and domineering character, which man would marry her?" ”

Du Nianyu twisted her eyebrows, as if she was about to get angry, "Niangniang, she is a very good person, although she looks a little flamboyant, but she is very warm to people in private, why does Miss Wu say that about her?" ”

Seeing this, Wu Xiaoyao sneered in her heart, this little pretending to be quite similar, but her acting skills are not bad, and she raised a straightforward smile, "Sister Du, you don't have to speak for that woman, you see that His Royal Highness brought you to the reception banquet today is to prove that he has long been disgusted with that woman in his heart!" That woman is plain-looking, and she has a strong figure, just like a burly aunt! ”

Before Wu Xiaoyao spoke, the Dream Garden was originally filled with the sound of greetings, but as she spoke, the crowd suddenly became quiet, so that Wu Xiaoyao's last half of the sentence was heard by everyone very clearly.

Sensing the abnormality, Wu Xiaoyao found that the ladies and ladies who were originally around her were scattered like birds and beasts, frowned and dared to turn around, and a familiar voice with three points of laughter and seven points of anger came from behind her.

"Concubine Ben is just a little late, why did she fall into the mouth of Miss Wu and become a burly aunt who was rejected by the Ten Princes?"

Wu Xiaoyao turned around and met a pair of playful apricot eyes. I saw Jiang Cailing's inky cloud sideburns hairpin, a cloud sideburns, golden faces, and cloisonne red coral earrings hanging next to his ears, making his ears more and more round and pleasing.

The azure flower bandeau is covered with a Su embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt, and a white fat jade pendant and a hollow carved silver incense ball are hanging from the waist, and the red tassels tied to it dance in the wind, wandering in the evening breeze with the fluttering skirt.

The bold color scheme does not look half kitsch, compared with Du Nianyu's demure and plain, Wu Xiaoyao's playful and moving, Jiang Cailing's flamboyance and brightness seem to be more unforgettable, and the nobility exuded in her bones cannot be ignored, as if it is natural, it seems that these colors should be used in this way.

In front of everyone, Wu Xiaoyao naturally couldn't lose the battle, so she raised her chin, "Xie Yunyang, why do you still have the face to come here, could it be that you want to find a group of beggars today to plan and frame which big girl?" ”

Some of the people present didn't know the Ten Imperial Princesses, and after hearing Wu Xiaoyao's words, the people around them whispered in surprise, "Is this the Ten Imperial Princesses, it's different from the rumored appearance of Wuyan!" ”

"Yes, although she is taller, she is not burly at all, but Wu Xiaoyao looks like a winter melon in front of her."

When Jiang Cailing heard these words, her red lips were slightly hooked, with an unpredictable playfulness, and she said leisurely, "I'm afraid that even beggars won't like a winter melon!"

Jiang Cailing is a native of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she was born taller than the women of the Chu State, coupled with the makeup and clothes she specially prepared for today, her advantages and disadvantages are more and more prominent, and she is particularly conspicuous and eye-catching among many beauties.

Not far away, Gu Jiming, who came to the Dream Garden with Luan Wenyi, saw his girl from a distance, and a warm temperature gradually rose in his cold eyes.

Ling'er, long time no see.
