Chapter 062: Pushed Down the Pond
Today's birthday banquet was held at the Beauty Residence.
The female dependents who came to participate were personally brought to the beauty residence by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The palace maid who led their sisters was called Dong Xue, who should only be fifteen or sixteen years old, but her eyes were clear and she was clever, so she should be a smart palace maid.
Also, in the harem, if you don't have a dexterous mind, I'm afraid you won't be able to live long.
Wang Meiren knew that there were many family members who came to celebrate her today, so she opened the house in the front yard of the beauty house early, and if a few girls like to enjoy flowers, they can come to these two rooms.
If a few girls like to bask in the sun, go to the opposite room. β
When Dongxue patiently explained, Ye Rou, the eldest lady of the Ye family, came here with a few girlfriends, and when Tao Yanyan saw them, she immediately smiled and went over to say hello.
"The sisters are really dressed up today, and I saw you at a glance over there."
Ye Rou didn't even give Tao Yanyan a look, and the others just glanced at her, and then followed the palace people into the room where they could enjoy the flowers.
Seeing this, Tao Yun'er suddenly became anxious, "Do you know that we came first and then came, obviously we came first, how can you rob our house." β
"Who is this?" Liu Sisi of the Earl of Cheng'en Mansion glanced at Tao Yun'er with a disgusted face, and when she saw the fabric on Tao Yun'er's body, she laughed out loud in public, "When you came to the palace to participate in the Niangniang's birthday banquet, you actually wore such clothes." It's really a shame, this kind of fabric, no one in my Liu family wears it. β
Before Tao Yaoyao decided to bring a few younger sisters into the palace, she specially asked people to prepare clothes and jewelry for them, but the one Tao Yun'er wore today was obviously not prepared by Tao Yaoyao.
However, what clothes to wear is everyone's freedom, so Tao Yaoyao didn't say anything when he saw it in the morning.
Unexpectedly, this Liu Sisi is still a big mouth, for fear that others will not know her ability.
"What nonsense are you talking about. This is my aunt's material when she got married. Tao Yun'er explained, but Liu Sisi didn't stop laughing after hearing it, but laughed even louder.
"How old are you? Also, the material for your aunt's marriage. Do you want to laugh to death here? An aunt is also worthy of saying the word marry?
In addition, you don't know how good the family background of a person who can be a concubine can be. He deserves to be embarrassed. β
The more Liu Sisi spoke, the more ugly it became, and when she saw that the faces of the other concubines of the Tao family were getting more and more ugly, Tao Xiaoxiao stood up with a smile.
"I didn't even know that Miss Liu was so eloquent. But Miss Liu, keep your eyes open and take a good look at what kind of place this is.
I don't know if Wang Meiren heard about this scene, whether she was happy that you embarrassed my Tao family, or whether she blamed the Liu family for not raising you well. β
Tao Yaoyao is Wang Meiren's life-saving benefactor, it is said that Wang Meiren's birthday banquet this time, the invitations of other families are all written and distributed by the Internal Affairs Bureau, only the Tao family's is written by Wang Meiren herself, and she sent her henchmen to send it over.
It can be seen that Tao Yaoyao's weight in Wang Mei's heart is different from others.
Moreover, Wang Meiren is His Majesty's favorite concubine, His Majesty held this birthday banquet today to make Wang Meiren happy, if there is anything that does not make Wang Meiren unhappy, I am afraid that His Majesty will not give up.
A few days ago, she caused trouble for her family because of her quick tongue, if she ...... it again today Thinking of this, Liu Sisi reluctantly shut up.
Seeing this, Tao Yun'er's face finally improved, but after what happened just now, she didn't dare to fight for the house anymore. So obediently followed Tao Yaoyao to the opposite room.
"Lord Zhaoling is here."
After Tao Yun'er saw her, she immediately greeted the county lord, and the county lord of Zhaoling walked in after seeing Tao Yao's death.
She first glanced at the concubines of the Tao family, and then dragged Tao Yaoyao to the pavilion next to her.
"Why did you bring them all here?"
How many things that the Tao family has done over the years to be sorry for Tao Yao, why did she help these concubines pave the way regardless of her previous suspicions? If it were her, she wouldn't be so generous.
"Is there any difference between bringing one and bringing four? Besides, this Tao family can't be alone alone, otherwise people's hearts will be wild. β
I see.
Wen Hanyan turned his head and saw Tao Yanyan's face turned blue, and smiled contentedly, "You can imagine such a bad trick." β
"County Lord, why are you so fickle, you were the one who said I was kind-hearted just now, why did you start to dislike me in a blink of an eye? County Lord, are we still not friends anymore? β
Tao Yaoyao pretended to be aggrieved, and after making a grimace at Wen Hanyan, the two laughed at the same time.
In the following time, people came one after another, and soon the beauty house was lively. There was still a period of time before the banquet began, and Wen Hanyan didn't like a lot of people, so he took Tao Yaoyao to a small pond not far away.
It is said that this small pond was specially dug by His Majesty in order to please the beauty of the king.
Every kind of fish in this is priceless, so Wang Meiren specially found a special person to take care of them.
"Let me see what these valuable fish look like."
Wen Hanyan stood by the pond, throwing bait while thinking about the fish in the pond, at this time, the maid next to him accidentally bumped into Wen Hanyan.
Wen Hanyan didn't hold back his strength and sat directly on the ground.
The pond was muddy, Wen Hanyan sat down, her skirt must have been dirty, so the next person hurriedly helped her to go to the guest room next to her to change clothes.
After Wen Hanyan left, Tao Yaoyao was left alone by the pond.
Tao Yao didn't feel a scoundrel, but sat alone by the pond and sat up quietly, looking at the pond and being distracted, he didn't even hear someone coming behind him.
"Lady...... Hehe, you're my lady......"
A slightly childlike voice came, and when Tao Yaoyao noticed that something was wrong and turned her head to look, she was pushed into the pond from behind.
The pond is not deep, but the pond in early winter is unusually cold, and Tao Yaoyao is planted in it, and after she is soaked up and down, the cold wind blows again, and she is even colder.
"Lady, why did you get into the pond, I'll pull you."
The child's voice sounded again, this time Tao Yaoyao looked around vigilantly, and soon saw a noble son who looked in his early twenties and looked a little naΓ―ve behind him.
Who is this, she doesn't remember that there was such a person in Kyoto City.
Forget it, now is not the time to think about this, she is a woman who has not been out of the cabinet, and now she is drenched and a man appears here, if someone finds out......
"Zheng'er, what are you doing?"
I was really afraid of something, just when Tao Yaoyao had just climbed onto the shore and was about to go back to the house to change clothes, the man hugged him from behind.
Then a hurried woman's voice came, and soon the man ran to them, and then pushed Tao away.
The woman pulled the man nervously, looked him up and down, and was relieved to make sure he was okay.
"Which family are you the daughter of, you are so bold, you even dare to seduce the prince of my palace. Someone, tie her up for me. β
Believe in the king's son?
The legendary Li Zheng, the son of King Xin, who fought on the battlefield at the age of fifteen, isn't he a young hero praised by everyone? How is a mentally unsound ...... Person.
"The ...... of the Young"
Princess Xin went down, and the people around looked over here, Wen Hanyan came out to change her clothes and just saw this scene, only to see that she quickly ripped off the cloak on her body, ran forward and draped it on Tao Yaoyao's body.
"What the hell is going on?" Wen Hanyan asked Tao Yaoyao in a low voice.
If Tao Yaoyao thought it was just a prank just now, now she can be sure that someone deliberately wanted to harm him.
A woman who has not left the cabinet and a man who are soaked in this pond appear in this pond, even if they have nothing to do with each other, they are innocent.
If she didn't want to die, she could only marry this man.
But she was the fiancΓ©e of the third prince three days ago, and just a few days later, she actually wanted to marry a fool, no matter how prominent this person was and how beautiful he was in the past, it couldn't change the fact that he was a fool now.
With that alone, she can immediately become a joke in Kyoto City.
And here, there should be a lot of people who want to see her jokes.
So for a while, she really couldn't tell who wanted to hurt her.
However, she was never a person to accept her fate.
Want her to swallow her anger and admit the result? Dream.
"Princess Xin, you don't have to be restless, the person in front of you is not a cat or a dog, it is the former third princess, the eldest lady of the Tao family."
It was Mrs. Cheng Enbo who spoke.
Princess Xin said disdainfully, "This princess doesn't care who she is, if she wants to harm my son, she must pay the price." β
"Mother, she didn't harm Zheng'er, it was Zheng'er who saw her fall into the water and wanted to save her, so she got her clothes wet, don't be angry, mother."
Although Li Zheng's mind is like that of a child, he has a kind heart, and he saw that the atmosphere was wrong, so he said what he saw.
However, none of the people present wanted to investigate the truth, they just wanted to see what happened to Tao Yaoyao in the end.
"Prince Xinwang, do you like this girl in front of you?" Mrs. Liu asked with a smile.
Li Zheng first looked at Tao Yaoyao, and then nodded embarrassedly, "She is good-looking, and Zheng'er likes her very much." β
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she laughed even louder, "Then how about letting her make you the princess?" β
This time, without waiting for Li Zheng to speak, Tao Yaoyao spoke first, "When did Mrs. Liu like to be a matchmaker?" Since you are so enthusiastic, it is better to settle the family affairs of the young master of the Liu family first. β
The eldest son of the Liu family is twenty-eight years old this year, but he has never married.
There is everything said outside, which is also Mrs. Liu's biggest heart disease, and now that Mrs. Liu poked her lung tubes, she naturally will not show weakness.
After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Liu's face change.
After Mrs. Liu shut up, Tao Yaoyao turned her head to look at everyone, "I didn't accidentally fall into the pond just now, but someone pushed me down." β
What?
When everyone heard this, you look at me and I look at you, and they all looked surprised.
