Chapter 51: Intrigues
"Brother Sanhuang, I didn't say anything when I asked Brother Shui, did you control it too much?"
Xiao Yue held Xiang Ao's hand, because Xiao Li was behind her, Xiao Yue was never very afraid of Xiao Yan.
Since Chu Wanxiang got off the carriage, Xiang Ao's eyes have been staring at her.
Today, she wears an aqua blue wide-sleeved fairy dress, and her slender waist is full of grip and graceful.
The color of her clothes made her skin more radiant and radiant, like snow.
Yun sideburns are well combed, and only a white magnolia hairpin is pinned to the bun. Although there are not many decorations, it is well decorated.
The beautiful face fits the elegant temperament and sparkles in the crowd.
"Hey, it's the Queen's mother's birthday party, and she's dressed so plainly, it's clear she doesn't want to be in the celebration anymore."
Seeing that Chu Wanxiang had attracted everyone's attention, Jiang Qiyun was extremely jealous.
Satsuki also hates her teeth so much, as soon as this woman appears, Xiang Ao's gaze will definitely not be on her.
She originally thought that if the concubine confiscated the brocade and silk given to Chu Wanxiang, it would be impossible for her to have suitable clothes to attend such an occasion, but she didn't expect this woman to be really smart.
That wide-sleeved long fairy dress looked expensive at first glance, and I don't know how she got it.
"Wanxiang, there are really a lot of people today." Gu Feibai got out of the car and pulled Chu Wanxiang's arm.
Looking around and seeing everyone's eyes fall on them, I couldn't help but feel a little shy.
"The queen mother's birthday banquet, all the officials and nobles have to attend and congratulate her, this is common sense." Chu Wanxiang smiled slightly, and her bright smile was like a spring breeze blowing across her face, which was pleasing to the eye.
"Looking at her charming appearance, she looks like she is afraid that others will not see her, and yet she has such a seductive smile. She is indeed a savage girl from the South. ”
Jiang Qiyun picked up a glass of wine and walked towards Chu Wanxiang. It was a glass of bright red fruit wine, and once it was splashed on her, the color was hard to wash off.
She deliberately slipped her foot and threw the wine glass in her hand at Chu Wanxiang's skirt, just to make Chu Wanxiang ugly.
"Surprised." Suddenly, the wine glass flew over, and Gu Ling screamed in fright.
Originally, she was standing on a bumpy gravel road, but when she couldn't stand steadily, her body fell to the side.
Chu Wanxiang wanted to reach out and pull her, but it was too late.
The wine glass fell to the ground and turned around a few times before it stopped on Chu Wanxiang's skirt. The beautiful dress was immediately dyed a layer of bright red.
"Be careful." A low male voice came, and a handsome young man in brocade stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Gu Ling's willow waist and hugged him steadily.
There is a faint scent of sandalwood on the man's body, and it smells very good.
"It's okay." After standing up, the man lowered his head and asked Gu Lingyi.
"The numbers don't matter, thank you for helping my son." Gu Lingyi's face flushed and took a step back. As a lady of every household, she always kept in mind her reserve as a daughter.
Raising his head slightly, he glanced at the man, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was very handsome, and a girl's heart was pounding.
"Thank you son for your help, otherwise my cousin would have been miserable." Chu Wanxiang also greeted him with gratitude.
Just now, there was an extremely sharp stone underneath Gu Ling's body. If it hadn't been for this person's timely move, she might have been stabbed in the waist.
"Small efforts are worthless." The man cupped his hands in the shape of a cup, responded politely, and left without looking back.
"Wan Xiang, do you know who he is?" Looking at the back of the man leaving, Gu Lingyi was a little dazed.
She never believed in love at first sight, but that glance really touched her heart.
"I don't know." Chu Wanxiang shook her head, picked up the empty wine glass on the ground, and after a while, she found Jiang Qiyun with a smug smile on her face.
Although she didn't know the identity of the person, she knew who threw the glass.
It's not a big deal if the skirt is dirty, but because of that wine glass, Chen Xin'er almost hurt her cousin. Debt is not that easy.
"Alas, it's a pity that such beautiful clothes." Chen Xin'er walked forward proudly: "Tut-tut, such a beautiful fairy dress, it is rare for the princess of the Ming Emperor to have a dress that can be worn in the graceful and luxurious hall, but unfortunately it was ruined by a glass of fruit wine." ”
"yes, I don't know who accidentally threw the wine glass out so much." Chen Yingying's actions won Xiaoyue's heart.
She didn't like Chu Wanxiang to be so glamorous and beautiful, which attracted everyone's attention. Such a limelight should belong to her, Satsuki.
The savage girl should hide in a corner with her tail tightly between her legs.
"You ......" Jiang Qiyun's ridicule and Xiao Yue's faint ridicule made Gu Ling feel sorry for Chu Wanxiang.
Let go of the man's heartbeat for the time being, blushing and wanting to fight back.
was dragged back by Chu Wanxiang.
Gu Lingyi grew up in the border pass since he was a child, and he didn't understand the intrigue in the palace, and arguing with Xiao Yue and others in front of the public would definitely be a disadvantageous factor.
"Your Highness is right, the person who takes the wine is too reckless. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet didn't eat or drink before it started, such behavior should be disrespectful to the Queen Mother! ”
Jiang Qiyun was taken aback, she was only focused on making Chu Wanxiang look ugly at that time, she didn't think of this layer at all.
Bei'an has always put filial piety first, and today is the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother didn't even show up, and before the feast had even begun, she served food and drink. If anyone knew about it, the whole meal would be light.
The smug smile on her face disappeared without a trace, and Chen Yingying nervously tugged at Xiaoyue's sleeve.
Useless stuff. If someone says a few words, it will be a mess.
Xiao Yue waved her sleeves impatiently and looked at Chu Wanxiang proudly: "Maybe the servant accidentally spilled it while handling food and drinks, it's normal for people to come and go here, this person is not a saint, so there is nothing wrong with it, Sister Ming Huang has always been kind, so she can't wantonly punish the slave and maid because of this little accident." ”
It seems that Xiaoyue has improved a lot in the past few days, and I don't know if she was cultivated by the queen or the concubine.
Now I can still fight back against Chu Wanxiang.
"Oh, what the princess said makes sense, if this dress is only Minghuang's, Minghuang won't care."
"But this dress is a gift from the nobles, if you get the clothes dirty, you will trample on the will of the nobles, judging from the appearance of the princess, she should know who did it, I want to ask the princess to let the person who 'accidentally' soiled Minghuang's clothes come out and admit his mistake to the nobles of Minghuang, it becomes easier."
"I don't know who that noble person Sister Ming is talking about." Xiao Yue sneered, she still didn't believe how noble her so-called nobility could be.
