Chapter 100: The Banquet Turmoil
The Feast of Flowers is a great opportunity for many noble ladies to make a name for themselves and choose a husband, but for Yu Xuanji, she is more interested in the lives of certain people.
Knowing that they would not let go of herself, she simply and self-aware found a conspicuous position, glanced around, except for Mu Liangxue, her enemies were basically all there, looking at Mo Qinglan who was sitting on the main seat with a smile on her face, her hand holding the wine cup continued to tighten.
Even though she wanted to slash these damned people, she had to pretend to drink herself as if nothing had happened.
The competition of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is indispensable.
Mo Qinglan glanced at the list and found that there was no name of Yu Xuanji, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
"I don't know what everyone here thinks of this hundred flowers banquet held by this palace?"
Mo Qinglan's cold words silenced the ladies and sons of the family who were originally talking and laughing.
Shen Yuyan glanced at each other, and the people who didn't know what to do stopped for a moment on Yu Xuanji, who couldn't face the wind, and then replied: "The banquet held by my sister-in-law is good. ”
Shen Yuyan's words fell, and everyone echoed.
"What does Miss Yusan think?" Mo Qinglan suddenly changed his words, causing everyone to look at Yu Xuanji.
Yu Xuanji raised her eyebrows, what should come will always come, her careless eyes swept away, and she replied crisply: "The courtiers think it's very good." ”
"But why does this palace think that Miss Yusan doesn't give face to this palace?" Mo Qinglan's face was gloomy, and he sneered, very displeased.
"The courtiers are terrified, I don't know why Princess Qinglan thinks so?" Yu Xuanji frowned in confusion.
"The ladies of the family sitting here are all on the list of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they don't see the name of Miss Yusan, isn't this just not giving face to the palace?" Mo Qinglan threw the list to the ground even more angrily.
Is she using the topic to play? Yu Xuanji couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
"The courtiers don't dare not give face to Princess Qinglan, but if the courtiers are not mistaken, not everyone has to participate in the competition at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, right?" she said reasonably.
Leng Tianche's face sank by her words, this is not giving Princess Qinglan face in public............! Thinking of this, a few traces of worry could not help but rise between his eyebrows.
Yu Wanyin looked at Leng Tianche's eyes on Yu Xuanji's body, and the jealousy in his heart continued to grow, why didn't he even look at her?
After saying that, everyone couldn't help but gasp, this Miss Yusan's courage is really too great. If she was someone else, she would have humbly compensated and admitted her mistake, but she still went to the knife edge.
Mo Qinglan was choked by her words, her face turned blue and white for a while, what Yu Xuanji said was indeed the truth, so she couldn't get angry in public, but if she stopped here, it would make her Mo Qinglan's face in Kyoto go in the future.
Yu Xuanji made it clear that she was embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage.
"In the past, it was the Queen Mother who handled it, but now it is handled by the palace, so the rules have to be according to what the palace says. ”
"What the princess said is reasonable, but the courtiers have no talent and no virtue, and they don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so they are really afraid of being ugly. Yu Xuanji laughed dryly, her face embarrassed.
"This palace heard that Miss Yusan had an amazing song at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, since Miss Yusan doesn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why don't you sing a little song!" Mo Qinglan swore not to give up.
Although Yu Xuanji was belittling herself, she was also slapping her Mo Qinglan in the face, Yu Xuanji repeatedly refused, if she agreed, then her previous words would be deliberately difficult, and that would be the real loss of face.
"Yes. The corners of Yu Xuanji's mouth hooked, as if she was smiling. Mo Qinglan! I still love face.
Seeing that Mo Qinglan calmed down his anger, Leng Tianche couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When Shen arrived, after Yu Xuanji finished singing, the ladies of the family began to show their talents. Among them, Yu Wanyin and Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Mansion are the most outstanding.
When it's time to get there, the dinner party officially begins, and the crisis hidden in the dark night is finally coming.
"Wanyin, without Yu Wan's soft pressure, you finally come out on top. Shen Yuyan smiled sourly.
Yu Wanyin's face stiffened, everyone knew that she was pressed by Yu Wanrou, Shen Yuyan was obviously deliberately souring her. In just a moment, she recovered and said with a humble smile: "Wanyin is not as good as the second sister." ”
"Huh. Shen Yuyan smiled and patted Yu Wanyin's hand, hum, finally a little self-aware.
Don't look away, Shen Yuyan happened to bump into Shen Tianze's eyes.
I saw Shen Tianze give her a look, and then whispered a few words to Mo Qinglan, and then withdrew.
Shen Yuyan rolled his eyes, and a few traces of crimson and joy instantly appeared on his face.
Seeing Shen Tianze and Shen Yuyan leave the table one after the other, Yu Xuanji lifted the pot and poured the cup, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and her face showed a strange look. After waiting for so long, they finally couldn't bear it anymore.
This time it's time for her to make a move.
"Ruyi. She whispered.
"Hmm. "A wishful heart.
At this time, the princess's mansion, the guards in the house, a group of maids, and servants were all waiting in the banquet hall, but there were very few people in other places.
In the dark courtyard to the east, the man's low wheezing voice was intertwined with the woman's charming voice.
"Brother Tianze~um~" Shen Yuyan climbed on Shen Tianze's shoulder and whispered, his eyes were confused and intoxicated.
"Is it comfortable?" Shen Tianze gasped and bit Shen Yuyan's extremely sensitive earlobe.
"Hmm~" Shen Yuyan's delicate body trembled, and she couldn't stop.
At this moment, a dark shadow crept in, and the thin bamboo tube pierced the screen window, and in a moment a puff of white smoke filled the room.
"It's out of the water!"
"What?" Mo Qinglan exclaimed, and his smile disappeared in an instant.
Yu Xuanji looked at Mo Qinglan's eager back, and poured a glass of wine in a good mood, but she didn't drink the wine, but sprinkled it on the ground.
An'er, my mother will send one to accompany you today.
It was the East Courtyard that walked the water, and the fire was not large, and it was quickly extinguished.
It's just that how could this good and decent person in the east courtyard catch fire! Mo Qinglan glanced at Yu Xuanji, who was expressionless in the crowd, with a suspicious afterglow.
Touching Mo Qinglan's sight, she looked over calmly, she knew what Mo Qinglan was thinking, so she didn't take action in person, and she never left the banquet room for half a step, so even if Mo Qinglan suspected her, there was no evidence at all.
"Princess!" Mo Qinglan's personal maid walked out of the room with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Mo Qinglan couldn't help frowning as he looked at the maid's expression.
The maid glanced at the sons and ladies surrounding Mo Qinglan, and then stepped forward and whispered a few words in Mo Qinglan's ear.
I don't know what the maid said, but I saw Mo Qinglan's face change again and again, and finally melted into anger.
This made the onlookers more and more curious about what was in this house, and why Princess Qinglan suddenly became angry, and some of them were even curious and even stretched their heads to find out.
"That's all for today's Hundred Flowers Banquet, everyone go back!" Mo Qinglan clenched his fists and suppressed all the surging anger.
"What's going on in this house?"
"Seeing Princess Lan's appearance, what should have happened?"
"Hey, why haven't you seen the horse?"
The whispers were endless, especially the sentence that almost made Mo Qinglan unable to hold back the anger in his heart. The maid carefully glanced at Mo Qinglan's not very good look.
"Everyone, please come back!" said the maid in a raised voice.
When the words fell, everyone dispersed with curiosity.
Mo Qinglan finally couldn't control his anger and rushed in, only to see two white bodies intertwined on the bed in the bright room.
"Someone came to wake them up for the palace. Mo Qinglan stared at the unconscious two people on the bed with anger on his face, and scolded sharply.
"Yes. ”
The cold water of late autumn contained the chill of winter in the future, and Shen Tianze and Shen Yuyan instantly sobered up.
"Hiss~" Shen Yuyan shuddered and woke up, his thoughts were still chaotic, he rubbed his eyebrows, and only then did he realize that he saw Mo Qinglan standing in front of the bed with a fierce light and anger.
Her mouth shook, and her slightly trembling hand subconsciously patted Shen Tianze, who was still in a daze on her body.
Princess! How could the princess be here!
Shen Tianze scolded secretly, and then rubbed his forehead, which was about to explode. I didn't slow down for a while.
"Yuyan, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Shen Yuyan's face with horror, he pecked her cheek affectionately.
"Gong ...... Public...... Lord ......" Shen Yuyan swallowed his saliva and was almost about to cry.
She just wants to explain now and doesn't know where to start, this is a rape in bed! And she and Brother Tianze are both naked, and they are still intertwined.
At this moment, Shen Yuyan has no talent*, only endless horror.
Hearing this, Shen Tianze seemed to realize something, the lights in the dark room were already bright, his head twisted suddenly, and he saw the person he was most afraid of seeing.
"Gong ...... Princess, you listen to my explanation......" Shen Tianze got up in a panic.
He didn't have a trace of it, so he got up like this, so that the maids in the house hung their heads in fear.
"Shen Tianze, is this what you said is important?" Mo Qinglan sneered, raised his hand and threw it in his face.
"Princess...... You...... You listen to my explanation...... Shen Tianze didn't care about the pain in his face, so he knelt on the ground, like a begging for sympathy, and grabbed Mo Qinglan's skirt.
Turning his head to look at Shen Yuyan, who was shrunk on the bed, he called out as if he had come to life: "It's cousin Yuyan! It's her...... She said that the princess had a secret business to look for me, so I followed her here, and then asked me to wait here, and gave me a bowl of sugar water, and then ...... I didn't know anything after that. ”
Shen Yuyan couldn't believe that these words really came out of Shen Tianze's mouth, he was leaving himself clean and letting her take the blame alone!
Originally...... It turns out that Shen Tianze said that he loves her is all fake!
"No, no, princess...... It's ......" Shen Yuyan hurriedly defended, but seemed to realize something, but the words behind him were blocked in his throat.
What did she say? Could it be that before Shen Tianze married Meng Qingyu, she had been involved with him? Wouldn't that be more serious? No...... She didn't want to die yet......
"What is it?" Mo Qinglan sneered, and walked to the bed in two or three steps, looking down at Shen Yuyan, she wanted to see what she could say.
She had noticed that there was a cat between the two of them before, but she didn't dare to forgive them, how could she know that she was wrong, they dared, and they had the audacity to steal at the feast of flowers.
"It was Brother Tianze who promised Yuyan and would marry Yuyan, so I was confused for a while, so I made a big mistake. Shen Yuyan's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head, and then said with a cry of regret: "Please princess for the sake of Old Madam Shen, spare Yuyan's life!"
"You still dare to beg for mercy?" Mo Qinglan suddenly pinched her chin as if he had heard some joke, forcing her to look directly at her.
