Fortunately, Su Jinli was not busy alone for too long, Ye Yun and Song Ling arrived early.
Ye Yun and Song Ling are both good at dealing with the twists and turns between these female dependents, and with Su Jinxiu and Baili Shihan also assisting, Su Jinli is much more relaxed.
When the banquet was about to start, Su Jinli took the ladies and relatives to the garden where the dinner was held.
When they arrived at the garden, Gu Mingjue had already arranged for the male guests, sat upright, and waited for the female dependents to sit down, and the banquet officially began.
Seeing this, Su Jinli hurriedly arranged the female guests with Ye Yun and a few others.
Because today's banquet in Gu Mingyan's mansion and their time were deliberately diverged, the people arrived very neatly today.
From the princes and nobles to the sesame mung bean size of the Beijing officials, they all came with their families.
Su Jinli looked at the cloud-like people and took turns to toast Gu Mingjue, and couldn't help but show sarcasm.
If it weren't for Ming Jue's holy favor now, how would they have come to this mansion?
Not to mention being so polite with a well-prepared gift!
The world is hot and cold, that's probably what you say, right?
When she and Ming Jue got married, these people were still mean and sarcastic, but now they are full of flattery!
Thinking about it, there was a little more coldness in her bright eyes, but today was a festive day, and in just a moment, she adjusted her mentality and continued to sit beside Gu Mingjue with an elegant and noble smile.
When the banquet was coming to an end, Su Jinli's face was about to stiffen with laughter, but there was still an endless stream of people who came to congratulate the two of them.
Looking at the oppressive person in front of her, she almost wanted to cry without tears.
Fortunately, the eldest princess of Shunyi seemed to sense her discomfort and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd with a glass of wine.
The eldest princess of Shunyi has a noble status, and those who surrounded Su Jinli and his wife hurriedly gave way when they saw her.
Yes, the eldest princess of Shunyi came to the two of them unhindered all the way.
"Mingjue, Li'er! My aunt specially congratulated you on your promotion with a glass of thin wine! She raised her glass with a smile.
The servant hurriedly added a glass of wine to Su Jinli and his wife, and Su Jinli and Gu Mingjue immediately raised their glasses to drink with the eldest princess Shunyi.
After a glass of wine, Gu Mingjue's handsome face was so red that it could drip blood, and Su Jinli was suddenly anxious, and her eyebrows were twisted.
The eldest princess Shunyi hurriedly kindly said to the officials behind her who were waiting to congratulate Gu Mingjue and his wife: "Mingjue is not strong enough to drink, you need to go back to the room to rest for a while, everyone should go back to the table!"
As soon as the words ended, many people's laments sounded in their ears, and they felt very sorry for this.
The eldest princess of Shunyi quietly took everyone's disappointed expressions in her eyes, and she motioned to the maid to add another glass of wine for her.
Then, he said aloud to the group of officials who had disappointed hopes: "You took time out of your busy schedule to attend this dinner is enough to see your attention and blessings to Ming Jue and his wife, and this palace has thanked you on behalf of Ming Jue!"
After finishing speaking, he didn't give the officials a chance to speak, and directly raised his head and drank it all.
Seeing this, no matter how dissatisfied and regretful that group of people were, they could only swallow it in their stomachs.
On the surface, he could only respond respectfully, and drank the sake in his hand, and then slipped back to sit down.
After they retreated, the eldest princess of Shunyi, Ming Qingqi and Wei Yi, helped the drunk Gu Mingjue to the nearest courtyard to rest.
When Qingqi and the others helped the drunken Gu Mingjue walk away, Wei Ziyuan's eyes lit up, and then a vicious and bold idea appeared in her heart.
She deliberately slipped the cup in her hand to wet the dress, and then leaned over to the absent-minded Gu Mingyun and said, "The concubine accidentally got her clothes wet, and she wants to go to the wing room to change into a dry dress!"
Hearing the voice, Gu Mingyu, who was looking at Su Jinli, regained a little sense.
He glanced at Wei Ziyuan lightly, and sure enough, he saw that her cuffs were wet a lot, and even her waist was a little wet, so he said softly: "You go quickly!"
Since the showdown with Wei Ziyuan that day, Gu Mingyu's attitude towards her has been much better, so at this moment, seeing her embarrassed, there is still a little concern in her heart.
"Biliu, go and tell Princess Qing!" After getting Gu Mingyun's permission as he wished, Wei Ziyuan sent someone to tell Su Jinli about the matter.
After all, this is in Prince Qing's mansion, and you have to consult the master in this mansion for everything.
"Slaves obey!" Biliu walked quickly towards the top of the head.
Gu Mingyu saw that Wei Ziyuan's eyebrows were no longer angry when she mentioned Su Jinli, and she thought that she had listened to his words, and she was immediately relieved.
Because of this, his pity for Wei Ziyuan was even greater, and when he saw a few men not far away glancing at Wei Ziyuan's slender waist from time to time, he immediately became angry, and directly pointed to the secret guard behind him and said, "Follow the side concubine to the wing!" Be sure to take care of her! โ
The secret guard respectfully accepted the order, and then consciously stood behind Wei Ziyuan.
Su Jinli frowned when she saw Biliu, and said with disgust: "Why did you come to find this princess?"
Biliu didn't care about the disgust and displeasure in her words, and only after bowing respectfully did she understand her intentions.
After hearing this, Su Jinli's eyes were slightly dark, and she felt in her heart that this was not an ordinary accident, but Wei Ziyuan had a plan.
But she remembered that this was Prince Qing's mansion, and it was her territory with Gu Mingjue, so she was not cowardly, and directly agreed.
"Qing Yu, take Concubine Wei to the nearby wing room to change clothes!" She commanded.
The leader of the green feather jaw took the order, and then followed Biliu away.
Then, Wei Ziyuan, Qing Yu and the others left the garden.
After Wei Ziyuan left, Lu Liu walked quickly to Wang Lin, who was laughing with Zhang Rumeng, and whispered something in his ear after hurriedly saluting.
I saw Wang Lin's pupils shrink, seven points of surprise and two points of shock and one point of horror passed through his eyes.
After thinking slightly, her eyes lit up, she gritted her teeth, and then continued to talk and laugh with Zhang Rumeng.
She nodded, and the willow walked away in amusement.
Leaving Wang Lin's place, Lu Liu returned to Gu Mingyu's side and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the side concubine's clothes are put by the slave!" I'm afraid I can't find it, please allow the slave to get the dress and give it to the side concubine! โ
She looked anxious and rubbed her hands uneasily, Gu Mingyu glanced at her slightly, and waved her hand to let her go.
also specially instructed: "When you go out of the garden, remember to find out which wing the concubine is in first!"
Just now, Su Jinli pointed to the Qing Yu beside her and directly led Wei Ziyuan to Wei Ziyuan, so he, Lu Liu and the others didn't know where Wei Ziyuan and the others went.
That's why he commanded so.
"Thank you, Your Highness! The slave gets it! Slave and maid, go now! Midori Willow hurriedly responded.
After speaking, under Gu Mingyu's signal, she quickly walked out of the garden.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Jinli was boredly inspecting the guests who had not yet had the slightest intention of leaving, and couldn't help but rub her sideburns with a headache.
Just as he was about to ask Qingyue if there was a way for the guests to disperse, Wang Lin and Zhang Rumeng, who had never had any friendship with her, actually came with wine glasses.
"The courtiers (slaves) knock to see Prince Qing!" The two daughters took the lead in bowing, and their maids also bowed.
Seeing the two of them, Su Jinli couldn't help but be a little surprised and confused.
When she was not out of the cabinet, she was a well-known fool in Kyoto, and top noblewomen such as Wang Lin and Zhang Rumeng, who were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, tea and dance, and were of noble birth, could be said to be disdainful of her.
It's just because of their status that they have to greet her when they meet her on major occasions.
And after she got married, she became the princess of the Seventh Emperor, and the two lords who thought they were stronger than her were even more resentful, but because of their different identities, they could only accompany her with a smile.
On closer inspection, the relationship between them is at most a nodding acquaintance!
Yes, she didn't think that these two would put down their bodies and look for her without any scheming now!
Thinking of this, her originally somewhat loose mind immediately gathered.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when she reaches out, even if the alarm bell is loud in her heart, on her face, she still smiles elegantly: "Miss Zhang and Miss Wang are polite!" Hurry up, please! โ
Seeing her and her pleasant face, the hidden apprehension in the eyes of the two of them was not there, and they were blessed together decently and blessed with their bodies.
Without waiting for Su Jinli to inquire about the intention, they took the initiative to say: "The courtiers came today for two purposes, one is to congratulate Prince Qing and Princess Qing on the joy of being crowned, and the other is to make amends to the princess!"
"Oh?" Su Jinli fell into deep thought.
This is a lie, but it is also plausible, and there is nothing surprising about it.
Strange is this second point!
It is a long time to see such arrogant people as them would make amends for her in front of the public! It's like a bolt from the blue!
"Back to the princess, what happened in the Pavilion Old Mansion (Peony Villa) last time was caused by our poor supervision, so it's all our fault!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Rumeng's pretty face turned red, but Wang Lin continued to say without changing her face: "Yes, the two of us are deeply ashamed, and I hope that the princess will not worry about us!"
Hearing this, Su Jinli hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "The two young ladies are serious, although those things are under your noses, they have nothing to do with the two of you, you don't have to blame yourself for this!"
Hearing her say this, the two of them, who were originally ashamed and couldn't raise their heads, were immediately overjoyed, and then looked at Su Jinli in unison, and asked in disbelief: "The princess is sincere?"
Su Jinli's eyes lit up slightly, and then she smiled kindly: "What this princess said is true, it is all from the bottom of her heart!" The two young ladies can rest assured! โ
Having said that, she had a different plan in her heart.
The matter of Peony Villa is that Gu Roujia has been planning for a long time, so she naturally can't complain about Zhang Rumeng, at most she is guilty of not noticing.
And the matter of Wang Ge's old mansion was Wang Lin's collusion with Wei Ziyuan to do bad to her, and she would naturally make a big account for Wang Lin in her heart!
"That's good! The courtiers can finally rest assured! Zhang Rumeng's eyes were red, he stroked his chest, and said with relief.
Wang Lin's expression, which hung her head down, was a little intriguing.
Then, Zhang Rumeng and Wang Lin raised their glasses in unison and said, "Please have a drink with the princess to eliminate all the unhappiness before!"
