126. Overboard again!
Before Liu Xinning finished thinking about it, Princess Rouhui and Lord Minhe and others had already walked in front of her.
Liu Xinning and the others naturally hurried to salute.
Princess Rouhui accepted it without care, but Min and the county lord silently replied with half a salute.
"Cousin Rouhui invites you, how dare Zhaoyang disobey?"
Look, this is the mountain of imperial power. No matter how favored she is, she has to be subject to people of higher status.
However, she is already much happier than many people. She now has only the mountain of imperial power on her head.
Moreover, Princess Rouhui can only say some ugly things in secret, and she doesn't dare to go too far in the open.
It's just that she has been thinking about it for a long time, and she really hasn't offended Princess Rouhui.
This, where did Princess Rouhui's hostility towards her come from?
If you can't find the cause, you can't prescribe the right medicine.
Princess Rouhui didn't do too much, even if she went to sue, she couldn't let her be severely punished.
When Liu Xinning thought of this, she was a little depressed.
Princess Rouhui, on the other hand, smiled proudly.
She knew that there would be a good show at this banquet.
Last time, she helped her brother push off the marriage with Zhaoyang, but she provoked the reprimand of her brother and mother.
At one time, he said that she had no brains, and at another time, he said that she was not successful enough and had more than one failure.
She just didn't get it. What's so good about Zhaoyang that is worth sacrificing their vital marriage?
Therefore, she was still secretly working against Zhaoyang, but now she is much more blatant.
Anyway, she just said a few words, and she didn't beat or scold, what can the Queen Mother do? At most, her feet are forbidden.
She just wants to fight against Zhaoyang.
What Zhaoyang didn't want to do, she wanted to make her do it. Where Zhaoyang didn't want to go, she had to let her go.
Sure enough, now looking at Zhaoyang's unhappy but helpless appearance, she is very comfortable - it is not in vain that she came from the palace in the heat.
Chang Zhenzhen, who was next to her, heard that Liu Xinning agreed, and hurriedly led everyone to the lotus pond with a relieved look.
All kinds of lotus flowers were planted in the lotus pond, and a lake pavilion was built in the middle of the lotus pond.
At this time, everyone is standing by the fence, admiring the lotus flowers that are either in full bloom or budding to be released.
Suddenly, there was a 'poof' sound, and everyone hurriedly followed the sound to look over.
I saw Chang Zhenzhen sitting on the ground with a pale face, while Liu Xinning was up and down in the water.
Naturally, everyone was shocked and cried out for help.
Fortunately, this situation was taken into account during this banquet, and there was a mother-in-law who knew how to serve on the side.
At this time, those mothers-in-law had already jumped into the water and went to fish Liu Xinning out.
In the summer heat, the water is not very cold. It's just that the clothes are wet and unsightly.
Seeing that Liu Xinning was fished up, she was pulled by the subordinates of the Hou Mansion of Chang'an so as not to follow Chun Nuan, who jumped into the water, so she broke free of the subordinates' hands and hurriedly came over to hug Liu Xinning to cover her up.
As a result, he was pushed away by Liu Xinning.
Her clothes were already wet, but she still had spare clothes with her. And Chun Nuan has no spare clothes to change.
Liu Xinning, who was standing still, turned pale like frost, and looked at Chang Zhenzhen, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Is Miss Chang planning to kill me? Actually pushed me into the water? ”
"No, no. I wanted you not to be angry with me, so I brought you a cup of tea. I didn't expect that girl to touch my arm, and I just touched you. I really didn't mean to, I really ......"
Chang Zhenzhen's face was pale, and in the end, she actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Everyone looked at the tea and snacks that were messed up on the ground, and then looked at Chang Zhenzhen's miserable face, and some understood.
This Chang Zhenzhen is only afraid that in order to please the county lord of Zhaoyang, she has to serve tea and pour water like a subordinate.
It's just that I didn't expect that there were so many people, and someone accidentally touched her, which caused such a situation?
"Miss Chang is not a heart. It's all to blame on that maid, pull down the cane and kill it. ”
Princess Rouhui lightly relieved Chang Zhenzhen.
Liu Xinning's eyes looked at Princess Rouhui again.
In the banquet, if there is a fall into the water, there will be no good things.
Princess Rouhui is doing this, is she involved? Or is it just a mix?
That maid was pulled down by the subordinates of the Hou Mansion of Chang'an covering her mouth.
Whether she did it unintentionally or intentionally, since Princess Rouhui spoke, this board was inevitable.
And Chang Zhenzhen was still kneeling on the ground pitifully, and everyone felt pitiful.
Although Chang Zhenzhen is not the biological daughter of Chang'an Hou, she is also a young lady in Hou's mansion.
Now, this look is really pitiful. This foreigner's crime is so affected.
"The county lord should hurry up and change his clothes."
"Definitely. Although the weather is hot, the clothes are wet on the body, and it is uncomfortable. ”
"Miss Chang is also not here, let's hurry up and take the county lord to change into clean clothes."
"Exactly."
When you talk about it, most of them are for Chang Zhenzhen.
Liu Xinning looked at the people who were with the mud, and then at Princess Rouhui, who was obviously biased towards Chang Zhenzhen, and followed Chang Zhenzhen out of the back garden without saying a word.
"Cousin, can I take you to my courtyard to change clothes?" Chang Zhenzhen said flatteringly.
"No need. Just find a yard. ”
Liu Xinning won't go to Chang Zhenzhen's yard. Who knows what's inside?
"That's ......" Chang Zhenzhen's expression was obviously lost. Then she adjusted, and continued to lead the way.
"This small courtyard with many entrances is specially for the female relatives to rest. Why don't we go to this yard? ”
Chang Zhenzhen took Liu Xinning to the first small courtyard she passed by and said.
"The small courtyard here is a guest house?" Liu Xinning didn't respond to her words, but asked in a cold voice.
"Exactly. This one is a guest house. Chang Zhenzhen hurriedly replied.
"Then let's go to that." Liu Xinning pointed to the courtyard next door and said.
"Good, good, good." Chang Zhenzhen said obediently.
Liu Xinning wondered for a moment if she was too careful?
However, there is nothing wrong with being careful. Therefore, she still took the lead in walking to the courtyard next door.
Pushing open the door of the main room, Liu Xinning quickly looked at it.
The interior of the house is simply furnished and the layout is clear at a glance. It was just a simple table and chairs, a bed and a couch for resting, and incense burning.
Incense?
After Liu Xinning saw the incense burner, she nervously held her breath and wanted to retreat, for fear that there was something wrong with the spice.
However, Chang Zhenzhen was the first to walk in, even closer to the location of the incense burner.
Liu Xinning put some of her mind at ease - if there was really something wrong with the incense, Chang Zhenzhen would definitely be tricked.
Nowadays, Chang Zhenzhen is so casual, which means that this incense should be fine.
However, Liu Xinning still didn't dare to take it lightly, and directly asked Chun Nuan to check all parts of the house.
Chun Nuan, who understood what Liu Xinning meant, walked around, especially looking at the places behind the bed tent that were easy to hide.
In the end, she walked up to Liu Xinning and replied, "County Lord, the maid has already asked someone to get spare clothes." You'll be waiting for you to change later. ”
Chun Nuan said this, which proves that there is no problem in this house.
Liu Xinning let go of her heart a little.
