Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Banquet Turmoil
"As the saying goes, this thief catches stolen goods, catches traitors and takes pairs, dare to ask Her Royal Highness the princess, where is my adulterer? Or is there any reason in the world that Her Royal Highness is going to condemn me based on just a few rumors that I heard from nowhere? ”
A voice as cold as snow sounded in the ears of everyone.
Shen Yunwan has not arrived, and the voice has come first.
Xiao Jiarougui is a princess, even if she is not favored by the emperor, she is also a golden branch and jade leaf, but now she has been lost face in the public, how can she bear it!
She stood up, her eyes followed the voice, and the whole person was stunned.
I saw the oncoming woman wearing a colorful full-breasted skirt, covered with a wide-sleeved cardigan, her posture was elegant like the wind and snow, and her temples were like fairies in the world.
In an instant, the peony flowers in the garden were eclipsed, not to mention the ladies at the banquet, who were graceful and gorgeous Princess Chen, who also became her foil.
Princess Jiarou's eyes rose with a thick fire of jealousy, and her heart seemed to be thrown into boiling water, in urgent need of a place to vent.
Princess Jiarou's eyes looked around the banquet, and finally found an outlet, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Shen Wanzhu, with an indescribable anger: "Didn't you say that Shen Yunwan looks like no salt?" ”
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, the sister used to look ordinary, and many people here have seen the sister, Her Royal Highness the princess will know when you ask."
Shen Wanzhu thought that Shen Yunwan didn't have the courage to attend today's banquet, but when she suddenly appeared, her long nails were about to smash her palms.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the courtiers once saw the lord of Yi'an, she had an ordinary appearance at that time, her complexion was dark yellow, and she didn't know what kind of magic she used behind her back, but now it's like a different face."
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Shen Yunwan's bright eyes.
The woman who spoke was Cui Yuru, the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who had been going in and out with Shen Wanzhu all the time.
Last year, at Shen Wanzhu's birthday banquet, she took away the original jade pendant and threw it into the lake, forcing the original body to go down to the lake to fish, making the original body seriously ill.
New hatred and old hatred came to his heart, and Shen Yunwan's cherry lips curled, revealing a cold smile: "Cuiping, how to deal with slandering the county lord?" ”
"Returning to the county lord, according to the eyes of the slave and maid, he will punish the big one with a small punishment and ten slaps on his mouth." Cui Ping said expressionlessly.
Cui Yuru's news is not as well-informed as Princess Chen, thinking that Cuiping is an ordinary maidservant.
She sneered: "This is a banquet held by Princess Chen, all of you are the daughters of the official family, when will it be the turn of a slave to speak!" Lord Ngee An, since you can't even teach slaves and maids, let me do it for you. ”
Even though Shen Yunwan has been canonized as the county lord, in Cui Yuru's impression, she is still the one who can be bullied casually and she doesn't even dare to resist.
It's just a fluke that the shit saved the Queen Mother, and I thought that the crow could turn into a golden phoenix!
Cui Yuru came to Shen Yunwan with her skirt up, staring at Cuiping, revealing a sinister smile.
In front of everyone's eyes, she can't clean up Shen Yunwan for the time being, can't she clean up a subordinate?
Cui Yuru raised her arm and waved it at Cui Ping......
However, her arm was amputated in mid-air.
"Presumptuous! How dare you fight back as a minion?! Cui Yuru was shocked and angry, "You wait, Miss Ben will definitely cramp and skin you!" ”
In the face of Cui Yuru's threat, Cui Ping's face did not change.
She raised an eyebrow, a sneer on her lips.
"Although the slave maid is serving by the side of the county lord of Yi'an, the household registration register is still in the Kunyi Palace of the Queen Mother, and the slave and maid will not be able to teach you a lesson."
Cui Ping straightened her back, and Cui Yuru, who was oppressed by her stern gaze, couldn't help but take a step back.
The crowd let out a sneer.
Cui Yuru consciously lost face, and shouted inwardly: "Even if you are the palace maid of Kunyi Palace, you are just a slave." I'm a squire's daughter, do you dare to commit a crime? ”
Hearing this, Cui Ping let go of Cui Yuru's arm.
Cui Yuru thought that the other party was afraid of herself, and just showed a smug smile, only to hear a "snap", and a crisp slap fell on her face.
"Cui Yuru, even if your father is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, you don't have any grade on you. Cui Ping is a female official in the palace, if you commit the next crime, can't Cui Ping teach you a lesson? ”
Shen Yunwan not only returned all Cui Yuru's ridicule, but also doubled her: "Cuiping, Cui Yuru is disrespectful to the Queen Mother, and she has twenty slaps." ”
"Yes, County Lord!"
When it comes to the means of punishment, there are the most tricks in the palace.
Cui Ping knows what kind of angle and force to use to hit the most painfully, without leaving too many traces.
The situation at the banquet changed too quickly, and Princess Chen and others had already made up their minds to watch from the wall.
And Princess Jiarou just reacted.
Don't look at her screaming fiercely just now, I really saw Cui Ping beside the Queen Mother, and I couldn't help but feel weak and short of breath, lest her words reach the ears of the Queen Mother.
Until Cuiping finished slapping, the banquet was still silent, even quieter than Princess Jiarou scolding the Queen Mother for being "old and confused" just now.
Shen Yunwan finally felt the power of Zhenshan Tai Sui at this moment.
Waiting for Cui Ping to retreat behind her, Shen Yunwan bent his knees towards the seats in the first row: "Yi'an to meet Princess Chen, Princess Jiarou, and Princess Jinyang." Princess Chen Wan An and two princesses Wan An. ”
Without waiting for Princess Chen to speak, Princess Jiarou finally found a place where she could make things difficult for Shen Yunwan.
She snorted, looking as arrogant as she was: "There is a princess and two princesses here, but you are so perfunctory in your salute, can't we afford to bow three times and bow nine times?" ”
"Sister Huang, today is not a big court meeting, a flower-viewing banquet, why do you need so much red tape. Imperial sister, you have to let others bow three times and knock nine times, but don't take me. ”
After Princess Jinyang finished lazily, she bowed her head towards Shen Yun, and arranged the melon seeds on the plate into a lotus pattern, and in her hand, there were two plates of dim sum that were built into a pagoda, which showed how boring she was.
Princess Jiarou didn't expect to be demolished by the royal sister, so she could only hold on to her face: "This palace is to let Shen Yunwan bow three times and knock nine times!" If she dares not to kneel, she will not take this palace in her eyes. ”
Hearing this, Cui Yuru, who had just been slapped, felt happy in her heart.
Didn't Shen Yunwan rely on his identity to bully himself just now? Princess Jiarou's identity is far above Shen Yunjuan, and I want to see if she kneels or not!
Facing the aggressive Princess Jiarou, Shen Yunwan didn't even frown.
In the past, Han Xin could be humiliated by his crotch, and he just knelt down.
Shen Yunwan bent down and ......
However, before Shen Yunwan knelt down, Princess Chen hurriedly got up, because the range of movement was too great, and even brought down the wine glass on the table, and poured all the lychee honey on the ground.
But right now, Princess Chen couldn't care about anything, and finally helped Shen Yunwan up quickly at the moment when Shen Yunwan's knees were about to touch the ground.
"Lord Nghe An, today's flower-viewing banquet is for everyone to play, if they are all on the shelf, it will go against my original intention."
Princess Chen said softly: "Hurry up, if you don't think I'm holding it up, I'll call you Sister Yi'an." ”
Princess Chen had been watching coldly just now, but now she was like a spring breeze, judging that the attitude of the two made everyone confused.
Shen Yunwan stood up with a smile: "Princess Chen is really approachable. It's just that Princess Jiarou has spoken, how dare the courtiers not listen. ”
Shen Yunwan insisted on kneeling, how could Princess Chen, a weak female streamer, stop her, she could only watch Shen Yunwan kneel on the ground.
At this moment, Princess Jinyang threw the melon seeds in her hand, took a deep look at Princess Jiarou, and she yawned: "The palace is unwell, go back to the palace first, you play slowly." ”
Princess Jinyang really didn't want to waste time with a bunch of idiots.
The banquet is boring, the host is not the same as the host, and the guest does not know the rules, since the two of them blindly want to use their identities to oppress people, they deserve to be embarrassed and don't want to drag themselves into the water.
Princess Jinyang is the biological daughter of Concubine Chen and the sister-in-law of Princess Chen, where did Princess Chen dare to stop her, she could only laugh forcefully: "It's all to blame for the poor hospitality of my sister-in-law, Imperial Sister, I will arrange for a guard to send you back to the palace." ”
"No, I'm not a three-year-old, so I don't even know the way home." Princess Jinyang smiled playfully, but there was no smile in her eyes, and she walked away from the banquet.
After Princess Jinyang walked away, Princess Jiarou pursed her lips dissatisfiedly.
Jin Yang relied on her father's favor and didn't take anyone in her eyes, and there will always be a time when she will suffer in the future!
Princess Jiarou retracted her gaze and shouted proudly: "Shen Yunwan, since you are afraid of offending this palace, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to this palace!" ”
Shen Yunwan smiled faintly, and was about to kowtow to Princess Jiarou, but saw that Princess Chen's body was short, and she knelt directly on the ground.
This scene stunned everyone present.
Princess Jiarou took a long time to find her voice: "Second sister-in-law, why do you want to kneel Shen Yunjuan, what kind of thing is she, and she deserves to let the second sister-in-law kneel for her." ”
"Shut up!" Princess Chen has lost all her face and lining, so she naturally looks at Princess Jiarou in every way.
This is also to blame herself, she originally wanted to borrow Jiarou's hand to give Shen Yunwan a dismount, but when Shen Yunwan knelt down, Princess Chen discovered the mystery on Shen Yunwan's body.
This also starts with the phoenix hairpin in Shen Yun's hair.
From a distance, I only felt that this flying phoenix hairpin was extraordinarily luxurious, and when I looked closely, I found that this was an ordinary phoenix hairpin, and it was clearly the one of the Queen Mother.
The first year of the Empress Dowager's entry into the palace was the time when she was most in love with the first emperor.
This phoenix hairpin was made by the first emperor himself, and the pearl held in the phoenix's mouth was taken off from the emperor's crown, which shows that the king does not kneel, in order to show the emperor's grace.
Later, the first emperor welcomed Concubine Shu into the palace, and this phoenix hairpin never appeared on the Queen Mother again, and now the Queen Mother actually gave it to Shen Yunjuan.
Wearing this flying phoenix hairpin, even if she doesn't have to bow three times and bow nine times in front of the king, how dare Princess Chen hold it up, and really let Shen Yunwan kneel.
Even if this was Princess Jiarou's idea, as the host of the banquet, once this matter spread, then the reputation of her painstaking management would be completely ruined!
After scolding Princess Jiarou, Princess Chen's gaze at Shen Yunwan was full of helplessness.
She said softly: "Sister Yi'an, if you don't get up again, I can only kneel with you to the end." ”
