064 What's in the Cup

The next morning, Xu Yuan woke up and vaguely remembered the events of last night, but he didn't show anything in front of Du Mingxin, and he still smiled.

Du Ming remembered that even if she was drunk last night, she still walked like a lady, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Although it makes people feel sad, at least Xu Yuan still knows to protect herself.

At noon, the queen gave a banquet, and Mrs. Xu took Du Mingxin and Xu Yuan over. I met a lot of female relatives on the road, and the garden was full of warblers and swallows, facing the warm spring breeze, but it was a peaceful and prosperous scene.

When he arrived at the main hall of the banquet, Du Mingxin found that his seat with Xu Yuan was next to Princess Anping and Deng Wenjiao.

But you really lift yourself up...... Du Ming smiled bitterly.

The queen smiled: "You will marry into the royal family in three months, and it is not a bad thing to get acquainted with the princesses first." ”

Du Ming stepped forward to thank him, and sat down next to Xu Yuan.

"Where did you go last afternoon? I sent for you, but none of them were there! Deng Wenjiao said to Xu Yuan complainingly.

"Sister Du and I went to visit the garden, and we didn't go back until we were about to turn the lights." Xu Yuan replied lightly. She also doesn't like Deng Wenjiao very much, thinking that she loves to talk about it, and her temper is not very good, and she is not a person who can be deeply friends.

Princess Anping has always been very reserved in front of people, always with a smile on her face, and does not speak easily. At this time, she only sat quietly, eating, drinking and watching the play, and did not speak.

"What's there to do in this garden? It's going around and around, and it's dizzy! Deng Wenjiao pursed her lips and continued, "But it's a pity that you didn't go with me yesterday, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty has a portrait of Concubine Wu in a water pavilion!" My aunt said that everyone should put it away, but I caught up and took a look, and it was not very beautiful! At best, it's just a little charming. ”

Xu Yuan said with a smile: "Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin, what you see is the charm." ”

Deng Wenjiao glanced at Xu Yuan and said disdainfully: "You seem to understand it very well!" ”

Xu Yuan ignored her, turned to Du Mingxin and said, "Sister, where do you want to go to play in the afternoon?" Do you want to go to the horse farm? I'll teach you how to ride a horse! ”

Du Mingxin smiled: "Are you very good?" ”

Xu Yuan said: "That's nature! How could my father's daughter not have any effort? ”

Deng Wenjiao interjected: "Then Dingguo Gong is going to find you a husband who knows kung fu, so you won't be able to beat you in the future." ”

Princess Anping couldn't stand it anymore, and said lightly: "It's good to watch the show, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak." ”

Deng Wenjiao was dissatisfied, muttered "I want you to take care of it", and turned her head to give her maid a look.

After a while, the maid brought a small silver wine jug and presented it to Deng Wenjiao.

She coughed and got up with great fanfare, attracting many people to look at her.

The queen was talking to Mrs. Xu at this time: "...... The prince was only eight years old, and I said that I would delay it for two years before going hunting. The emperor doesn't follow, he has to take it! I've been terrified all morning, and I don't have a good time......"

Seeing Deng Wenjiao walking towards Du Mingxin with wine, the queen was really relieved, so she smiled at Mrs. Xu and said, "How much has this girl grown!" A few days ago, I had a quarrel with Miss Du in the palace, and now I know that I will pour wine to make amends, and I am relieved. ”

Mrs. Xu also smiled and nodded.

Here, Deng Wenjiao spilled the wine in Du Mingxin's cup, poured her a new glass with the silver pot in his hand, and then turned around and took the wine glass in the maid's hand, but the wine was already poured inside.

"I was wrong last time, if you don't get angry, drink this wine!" Deng Wenjiao said a little stiffly, and stuffed the wine glass into Du Mingxin's hand.

Du Mingxin narrowed his eyes, remembered Chen Xi's instructions, and felt that Deng Wenjiao's glass of wine was really strange. She swept the wine on the table one by one, and the women's banquet drinks were generally fruit wine and honey wine, which were not as bright as white wine, and most of them were amber and honey. However, it shouldn't be like the cup that Deng Wenjiao poured herself, white and a little turbid, like rice wine with a very bad color.

"What, don't want to drink? Du Mingxin, don't you ...... the words "shameless" in the back almost came out, Deng Wenjiao turned her head and found that the queen was looking at her with a smile, so she swallowed the words back.

"I just think this wine is not quite to my appetite," Du Mingxin also looked respectful and modest, is it a show, who wouldn't?

"I don't drink rice wine often, and I tend to get rashes when I drink it. Why don't you take another cup and pour some of the original fruit wine. Let's just get a grudge with wine, how about it? ”

Xu Yuan also said on the side: "It's just a change of wine, since Sister Du is not good at drinking, why should you be reluctant?" ”

"No way!" Deng Wenjiao said categorically, "My father loves to drink rice wine, this wine is made by my mother, I specially brought it from home, just to look solemn." Don't you hate my mother's bad wine? ”

"How so!" Du Mingxin's face smiled even brighter, but he was thinking quickly in his heart. Deng Wenjiao took the initiative to come over to sue for peace under the pretext that if she didn't give her this step, not only the queen, but also everyone was afraid that they would feel that they didn't know what to do. It would be even worse if anyone thought that they were arrogant and reckless by relying on Shen Yao and Chen Xi.

However, the appearance of this wine is suspicious, and Deng Wenjiao's attitude of insisting on not changing the wine is even more suspicious. Although it was poured out of a silver flask, and the flask was nothing out of the ordinary, she could never drink it.

Du Ming thought about it, Deng Wenjiao is stupid and irritable. Instead of arguing with her here, and finally making everyone look bad, it is better to attack her directly, so that her attitude will collapse, and it will be okay for herself.

Thinking of this, she took a step forward and smiled softly at Deng Wenjiao: "Do you know why you are so good, but King Jin is still unwilling to marry you?" ”

Deng Wenjiao never thought that she would say this on this occasion, and her face suddenly became very ugly. She squeezed the wine glass so hard that her bones turned white, and said fiercely, "Do you drink it or not?" ”

Du Mingxin still smiled in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Just because of your arrogant and unreasonable temperament." King Jin is a humble gentleman, how can he tolerate a person like you as a wife? ”

This sentence was like a little spark jumping into the cannon pile, Deng Wenjiao threw the wine cup on the ground with a "snap", pointed at Du Mingxin and shouted: "Slut! You repeat! ”

Seeing that the situation was not right, the queen got up and helped someone over.

Du Mingxin snatched the wine jug from the maid's hand and said with a smile: "Then I'll say it again, I suspect that there is something in your wine that shouldn't be put in it." If you're willing to have a drink first, I'm wrong. How to apologize, you say I will do it. ”
