Chapter 33: The Banquet in the Western Suburbs
"Lu Yuchen, hurry up!"
Early in the morning, the palace was noisy with gongs and drums, and Zhang Ying ordered his maids to beat the pots and drums desperately.
Lu Yuchen's drowsiness came tricky, and his wake-up was even more random. As soon as he woke up, he came, shouting that he hadn't seen her for a long time, and he must be clinging to her to chat.
Zhang Ying was forcibly pulled up in the middle of the night to accompany her for several days, and she was really a little unbearable, but fortunately, Feng Zeyang sent something from Wanqing's house early this morning.
There is also a recipe at the bottom, which is written about the awakening soup.
Qing Xiu checked it and said that this medicine would ensure that he would be awake for at least two hours.
Zhang Ying recalled Wanqing's last words and sighed, she really didn't lie, these medicines were probably used to make Lu Yuchen sober up for a short time.
"Lady?" Lu Yuchen woke up and said weakly: "I'm so sleepy, you let me sleep......"
Zhang Ying smiled and sat down with a bowl, "Erlang, it's time to drink medicine!" ”
"You, you, you......" Lu Yuchen suddenly felt his hair stand upside down, and retreated again and again, "I feel a little scared......"
"I'm afraid! Drink to you! ”
Zhang Ying stood up, pinched his chin with one hand, and poured the medicine with the other.
"Hmm~" Lu Yuchen struggled in horror, and the hand holding the edge of the bed jumped violently.
The medicine was too bitter and astringent, but he didn't dare to refuse his daughter-in-law.
Help me~
"Okay, how do you feel?"
After pouring the medicine, Zhang Ying wiped his mouth intimately.
Lu Yuchen clutched his stomach, "I'm ...... Not yet, not yet, not yet...... Lady, what kind of medicine did you give me? You won't take advantage of my illness to kill me, right? ”
"I admit that I used to be a little bit of a bastard, and you were wronged by marrying me, Coco...... But you can't murder your own husband! ”
Zhang Ying shook her sleeves, "When I was in the boudoir, I looked forward to my husband Jun Toad's palace winning laurels, playing horses and parading the streets, and he could earn back a life for me in the future." ”
She paused, and glanced at him with disgust, "Fate made me marry you, and I wanted to train you to earn my life, but you have such an old sleep-loving poison in your encounter, tsk, you can't go to school......"
"I'm only widowed, and I haven't been separated, so I'm ......"
"I'm ......," Lu Yuchen sat up in shock in his dying illness, "I can!" I can get up! I can read! Not sleepy at all! ”
He crawled out of the cabinet and took out his long shirt and quickly put it on, and rushed to the study.
Chunhui sighed, "The effect of this medicine is really good, second grandma!" ”
"The slave has a hunch, our second son is afraid that he will be motivated in the future!"
Well, not only motivated, but also afraid of guilt!
"Lend you good words!" Zhang Ying said with a smile.
Now that he has this medicine to temporarily dispel sleepiness, presumably Qing Xiu will be able to prepare the antidote soon, and besides, he himself has something to do from his heart, cheer up a little, and his spirit should be better than before.
"Second grandma, there is a happy event!"
The eldest maid of the Lin family, Xinyue, walked from outside the courtyard with a smile, "The prince held a banquet in the western suburbs to celebrate the princess's pregnancy, it is said that an invitation from this family is enough, but you showed your face in the East Palace with your ingenuity, and the princess specially gave you another letter for the second grandmother!" ”
Zhang Ying took the invitation, and sure enough, it was the handwriting of the crown princess Bai Yanshi, she stared at her eyebrows and was silent for a moment and said, "Did the person who sent the post say anything else?" ”
Xinyue was stunned for a moment, "Oh, yes, I said that I respectfully invite Mrs. and Second Grandma to go!" The crown prince and the princess personally ordered it! ”
Zhang Ying: "......"
Is there something these two can't think about?
It was a great embarrassment for her to go, maybe at this moment she heard the news that she had been invited, and several people had prepared small benches to see how many of them laughed.
"Hey~"
She sighed, turned her head and began to wonder if there was any way not to go.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the day of the banquet in the western suburbs had arrived.
"Ah Ying, what are you doing grinding and chirping? Do you want to go? ”
Lu Yuchen stood at the door and urged, he had already come in to urge four or five times, Zhang Ying either said that the clothes were not good, or the shoes were not good, or the makeup was bad.
"I, I, I...... I'm sick to my stomach, why don't you go, the princess will ...... when she asks."
Lu Yuchen rolled her eyes, picked her up and walked out the door, "What's it?" Don't think I can't see it, you're pretending, you just don't want to go!
"Oops~ Put me down! I see that I don't want to go, what are you forcing me to do? ”
"You're at home all day, except to look at me, you're looking at me, you have to go out! You have to have your own diplomacy! You see the wives of other families, they often spend money together on shopping, drink tea and watch plays, and you also make friends with one or two? ”
"Phew! Shameless! Who sees you late? "She's immersed in painting clothes, where is there free?
Lu Yuchen didn't mean to put her down, and stuffed it directly into the carriage.
“……”
Zhang Ying took a deep breath, lowered her voice and said angrily: "It's been a while, I hope you won't be too embarrassed!" ”
"Hey, what do I have to be embarrassed about!"
All right! Anyway, the male and female guests are not at the same table, what kind of predicament can she encounter, she still knows in her heart, this stunned young man does not fight, he doesn't know how cruel the rules of the game are in the elite circle.
When the garden arrived, they got out of the car, and a waiter led a few people inside, and when they arrived at the second gate, the male guests and the female guests were separated, and Lin took Zhang Ying and Xiong into the backyard, and a surprised voice suddenly came:
"Look! Isn't that Zhang Ying, the eldest lady of the Zhang family? ”
"Hey, where is there any Zhang family now? What kind of eldest lady, she is Lu Er's grandmother, the seven-year-old who beat the master of the country, and the eleven-year-old Lu Yuchen's second son, Lu Yuchen, who beat the prince! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the female family, Qian Rouyi's pupils shrank suddenly, and she said in astonishment: "Zhang Ying, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhang Ying asked lightly, "Why can't I come if I have an invitation?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the noble girl who was surrounding Qian Rouyi immediately retorted, "How can you speak?" Do you still think that she is the eldest lady of the Zhang family who is known as one of the two peers in the capital together with Miss Qian? Are you a criminal minister, and now your husband is still Bai Ding, and you are also worthy of the banquet held by the prince? ”
"The crown princess took care of the past and sent you a post, you also have to be self-aware, won't you embarrass the princess like this? Bai Yanhui, you are the princess's own sister, this kind of person who makes the princess lose face should teach a good lesson! ”
Bai Yanhui stood in the middle of a group of noble girls, her face was pale, and she angrily rushed to Zhang Ying and scolded: "Zhang Ying, do you have a little shame? I knew it would embarrass my sister if I came, did you do it on purpose? ”
"Get out! Get out! You're not welcome here! ”
Zhang Ying shook off Bai Yanhui's hand and lowered her eyes, "Second Miss Bai, I'm also your cousin, you are very uneducated like this?" ”
"The protagonist of this banquet is the crown princess, you and the crown princess are compatriots, what? Do you want many ladies and ladies to think that there is a problem with your Bai family's tutor and affect the crown princess? ”
