The two stopped the conversation and moved on to something else.

In the palace of King Wu, today is the birthday of Guotai, and the palace is full of lights, a joyful scene. Qiao Wan got out of the carriage at the gate of the palace, asked Zhou Ping to carry the congratulatory gift in alone, and only brought Zizhu with him, and walked to the Yu'an Hall to attend the birthday banquet.

She changed into a festive red winter coat with exquisite makeup, like a red plum blooming in the wind. She pinched the time very accurately, and when she arrived at the Yu'an Palace, she happened to leave the banquet and had a stick of incense. There are more than a dozen seats in the hall, which is indeed the scale of a family banquet, and now only half of the seats are seated, mostly some female dependents. When the guests who had already arrived saw her, their faces were full of horror that could not be concealed. Qiao Wan was led to the position by the maid, smiled faintly at everyone, and said hello, then sat up straight and waited.

There was an instant commotion in the hall, everyone knew about the blood splashed in the court a few months ago, and recently it was rumored that Zhou Yu was married to this woman, everyone was half-convinced, and today I was able to see it with my own eyes, both shocked and frightened, shocked Zhou Yu's obsession, and feared more, is this woman sure that she is not the first concubine Qiao? However, seeing that she looked calm, looked at her nose and nose, looked at her heart, turned a deaf ear to these gossip, and looked calm and invulnerable to oil and salt, it seemed that they looked like a long-tongued woman with many mouths, so she felt bored, and turned to talk about novel gossip.

The guests arrived one after another, and after a while, Kokuta slowly walked out of the apse, and the hall fell silent again.

Guotai officially greeted her, roughly saying that the weather was cold, everyone worked hard all the way, and thanked everyone for coming to celebrate her birthday and so on.

After the greetings, Guotai began to introduce the guests present, first introducing Qiao Guan. He pointed to a woman with slightly white temples and thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and said, "This is General Cheng Pu's wife, Li." ”

Introduced in turn, there are also the wives of Huang Gai, Zu Mao, and Han Dang, as well as Guotai's three sons Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, and Sun Lang, and the three daughters Sun Rong, Sun Bin, and Sun Ren, as well as Sun Rong's husband Wu.

That is to say, in addition to Guotai's own children, there are only four courtiers' families, and the other three are all the wives of the old ministers, all of whom are nearly half a hundred years old, only she is the youngest, and she is about the same age as Guotai's children.

After everyone greeted each other, they began to eat, and several princesses also prepared a show for their mothers, which made Guotai laugh, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and harmonious.

After the meal, he began to toast, in addition to respecting Guotai, Qiao Wan went to toast a few ladies, because his alcohol was extremely poor, and he was already a little top-heavy after a few glasses of wine, so he quietly left the table and sat down in the porch pavilion outside the door, blowing the cold wind to sober up for a while.

"Does it matter if ma'am?" A low female voice came from behind him, Qiao Wan turned his head and looked at the palace lamp, it was a princess at the banquet who came over with a maid, the princess looked a little older, it should be the eldest princess Sun Rong.

So he smiled and replied: "Thank you princess for your concern, I just can't drink, come out and sober up, let you see you laugh." ”

"I see, it's not quite right to look at you during the banquet." Sun Rong also walked in with a body of alcohol, fanning the wind with his hand, "It's too stuffy inside, I'll also come out to breathe." ”

Qiao Wan slightly gave up a place to the side and sat with her in the pavilion blowing the wind.

"You're really similar to Qiao's." Sun Rong said suddenly.

Qiao Wan was stunned for a moment, and nodded lightly, "Yes." ”

Sun Rong's tone was low, "Your sister killed my brother, but Gong Jin insisted on marrying you at the risk of the disapproval of the entire Jiangdong." ”

It seems that the person who came is not good, Qiao Wan groaned slightly, and only said: "I have a clear conscience." ”

After a moment of silence, Sun Rong sneered, "Also, those who don't know are not guilty, so why did Gong Jin give you a sword in the first place?" ”

Qiao Wan didn't want to entangle with her anymore, got up and said, "It's rude to come out for too long, so I'll go in first." ”

Sun Rong grabbed her sleeve and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I have no ill intentions, I'm just curious." ”

"Curious about what?"

"I'm curious what kind of woman can make Gongjin obsessed with this."

"I wonder if the princess has come to a conclusion?"

She chuckled, "With all due respect, you're nothing more than a face." I thought that if it weren't for this skin, how would such a boring person win Zhou Yu's favor.

"The princess has a good eye, and what she says is very true." Qiao Wan solemnly agreed, turned around and left. She really thinks so, if it weren't for this face, how could Zhou Yu have found her in the first place, and there would be no series of things behind.

Sun Rong didn't expect her to be so rampant with her beauty, and said with a sarcastic smile: "A woman like you who shows off her sex, when you get old, you will know what it means to be affectionate." After that, he scolded in a low voice: "Two prostitutes." ”

Qiao Guan took a long breath, stopped and turned back and said, "I really don't know, I hope the princess will teach me a lot." ”

Sun Rong was already ordinary, angry and mean, he had a sharp mouth, and he made trouble everywhere, but he didn't expect to be choked by Qiao Guan like this, and when she talked about her sore spots, she suddenly became angry, pointed at Qiao Wan and said hatefully: "You despicable prostitute, dare to compare with me?" Without Zhou Yu's support, you would have been fed to the dog by a broken corpse! As he spoke, he rushed to Qiao Wan and fought.

But a tall man who came out of nowhere grabbed his arm vigorously, forcibly pulled it away, and dragged it aside.

Sun Rong shouted loudly, there are assassins. After a while, the guards and the crowd were alarmed, and they all ran here.

Zhou Ping pulled her out, some distance away from Qiao Guan, Fang let go, knelt down and pleaded: "Please princess respect herself." ”

Sun Rong slapped and exhaled, "Where did you come from, where did you come from, and you can catch the hand of this princess?" Come on, drag it down and beat it to death! ”

The soldiers rushed up in an instant and detained Zhou Ping.

"What's going on?" Kokuta and the others came over here.

"Queen Mother, you have to call the shots for your daughter!" Sun Rong ran over crying loudly, pointed at Qiao Wan and said: "I saw Mrs. Qiao retreating, thinking that I was afraid that she would have any discomfort, so I came over to take a look, who knows-who knows that I saw her doing that dirty thing with a strange man, I thought to myself that Mrs. Qiao is Gongjin's wife, how can I do such a thing, so I walked over and drank, trying to stop the two, who knew that the adulterer actually wanted to kill me——"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Wu Guotai said sharply: "Rong'er, this kind of thing can't be talked about. ”

"My daughter doesn't dare to lie, everything is what my daughter saw with her own eyes, the adulterer is there, and everyone has taken all the stolen goods!"
