Chapter 269: A Bag of Scorpions
Du Wei sat on the women's table, and the ladies from the surrounding provinces gathered in twos and threes to talk, she had not had a good time since she married into Nanwangfu, so she didn't make a few close friends.
However, there are a lot of tree enemies.
Looking at Su Yudie sitting not far away, Du Wei drank the tea slowly as if nothing happened, she could feel that Su Yudie's eyes were always with a hint of resentment, looking at her from time to time.
This girl can't come up with some kind of moth, right? Du Wei muttered in her heart.
After staying bored during the banquet, Princess Nan asked the young ladies to go to the garden to enjoy the flowers and relax, and Du Wei called the willow smoke beside her and left quietly together.
She didn't want to provoke them, as long as they were honest, she didn't care about showing weakness.
The scenery in the Nanwangfu Garden is not bad, especially the Ming Garden, which is open today, is lush with trees, the air is refreshing, and the wind brings some early summer warmth, which is very pleasant on people's faces.
Liu Yan was a little worried about Du Wei, and said, "The princess should not blow too much wind, beware of catching a cold again." ”
Du Wei didn't care, and said: "Your prince almost locked me up in a cage, and I finally got the opportunity today, and I want to go to the garden over there to have a look." ”
The garden of Nanwangfu is very large, in addition to three small gardens connected, there is also a small lake, and an abandoned racecourse.
Liu Yan was helpless, so she had to follow behind Du Wei, and kept persuading her in her mouth.
The two of them stopped and went, and suddenly there was a faint voice of a woman behind the bushes in front of them.
"Did you bring everything I wanted?" Crisp, crisp and pleasant, with a little childishness, it was Su Yudie's voice when I heard it.
Du Wei stopped her steps abruptly and pulled Liu Yan to the back of the tree lightly.
The trees in the garden were trimmed into rows of trees, and the foliage was so dense that it was impossible to see who was standing on the other side without looking closely.
Du Wei put her face close to the bushes, and saw Su Yudie standing opposite and the personal maid who followed her on weekdays, the two looked nervous, and at first glance they looked like they were doing something unspeakable.
"It's all here." The maid took out a cloth bag, and I don't know what it contained.
"They...... It's not going to run out, is it? Su Yudie's expression was flustered, as if she was very afraid of the bag.
"Miss, don't worry, these scorpions are all medicinal materials used by Nan Wangye for medicine, and they are not poisonous, but they are scary."
Su Yudie's expression relaxed, nodded and said, "When the official banquet is officially opened, you hide it under the table of the princess, and wait for them all to crawl out and scare her to death!" ”
The maid also smiled and said: "The princess has lost her honor in public, this matter will definitely spread tomorrow, and the prince will definitely be angry. ”
Su Yudie showed a shy expression and reprimanded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, go and hide the things." ”
Watching the two of them leave the bushes in a hurry, Du Wei and Liu Yan glanced at each other, Liu Yan immediately understood, and whispered: "The slave maid went and told Lord Tsing Yi to go ......"
It didn't take long for the main banquet to open, and the people who went to the garden to enjoy the flowers returned to the banquet one after another, and everyone talked and laughed freely during the banquet, and the field was specially equipped with singing and dancing to help the fun, which was very lively for a while.
At this moment, I don't know who the young lady exclaimed: "Ah! ”
Everyone immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that the insects all over the ground were black and oppressive, and they crawled down the feet of the ladies into their skirts.
"What's that?" Feng Luoli was also very nervous, but looking at the gentle, virtuous, elegant and solemn ladies in front of him were all like fried animals, jumping up and down, screaming, which made him feel very interesting.
Princess Nan also panicked when she saw this scene, and when she saw those insects crawling over, she jumped on the chair in fright, and the ladies of other provinces followed suit.
only stunned everyone in the men's table opposite.
When have they ever seen such a scene, so many women don't even care about their manners now, the golden hairpin on their heads is crooked, the hosta is falling, and they all look embarrassed.
And the most unlucky person should be Su Yudie, a few scorpions got into her body along her skirt, she stood on the chair, her hands desperately pulled her clothes, her eyes were full of tears, and she kept shouting: "Come on!" Come and save me......"
Several maids around her hurriedly circled around her and shouted, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong with you! ”
"Scorpion ......," Su Yudie shouted, "it got into my clothes!" ”
It's early summer now, and Su Yudie doesn't have many clothes on her body, but she keeps jumping her feet, and those maids can't figure out where the scorpions have gotten at all, and they are sweating all over their heads.
"Miss, just bear with me, the slave will accompany you to change your clothes." The maid hurriedly said, in front of so many people, how dare they take off Su Yudie's clothes, but if they don't take it off, how can they help her get rid of the scorpion that got into her clothes?
Seeing Su Yudie tear up her clothes, even her arms were exposed.
"Hurry up and get them out!" Su Yudie couldn't wait to change into any clothes, the scorpions climbed up and down on her body, and the cold touch almost made her crazy.
"They're stinging me!" She screamed, "Quick! Hurry up and ......" At this time, Su Yudie can no longer endure this kind of torture, what is the etiquette of everyone's ladies, there is a difference between men and women, at this moment she just wants to quickly take off her clothes and get all the scorpions inside.
At this time, the guards of the Nanwang Mansion had already "arrested and brought to justice" all the scorpions that were rampant on the ground, but they couldn't help the scene in front of them.
Who doesn't know that Su Yudie is the niece of Princess Nan?
She has lived in the palace since she was a child, nominally a guest, but in fact she is half a master, at this time Su Yudie's clothes are all scattered, who dares to step forward?
When Princess Nan saw Su Yudie's appearance, she felt a surge of blood surging above her head, and shouted angrily at those maids, "What are you doing standing here stupidly? Don't hurry up and get her away! ”
It was already embarrassing enough, Su Yudie was still standing on the chair, and after such a toss, this face was all about to be lost.
"Hurry up and pull it away!" Princess Nan didn't care about how Su Yudie cried at this time, she just wanted her to disappear in front of her quickly.
Until Su Yudie was forcibly carried away by the maids, her sharp cry could still be heard in the distance.
It took a long time for everyone's nervous nerves to relax, and many ladies were talking about the thrill just now, only Princess Nan's face was gloomy, and she confessed to everyone: "Those scorpions were originally medicinal materials prepared for the prince in the palace, I don't know which slave didn't have long eyes, and he didn't take care of it, which frightened everyone." ”
Although the ladies had palpitations, they could only accept Princess Nan's words. Even if there are layers of suspicions, they can only pretend that they don't know.
Du Wei looked at the pretending people around her, and sneered in her heart, if it weren't for Tsing Yi secretly making someone change the cloth bag scorpion under Su Yudie's table, then the unlucky person would be her, so she wouldn't be soft-hearted at all.
The more Princess Nan tried to suppress this matter, the more these people would guess in their hearts, they were not fools, even if those scorpions were really medicinal materials prepared for the prince, even if they really ran out, they would not be so coincidental, but they ran to the women's table.
Soon, the main banquet had just begun, and Su Yudie's public embarrassment had already spread openly and secretly.
