The prince of love, the wealth has come to me
Chapter 139: Flower Viewing Banquet Incident
"Oh, the censor's wife is here. She looks so well. If I didn't know her, I would have thought she was some young lady." The wife of the Grand Marshal spoke first.
"Look at what you said. I think the wife of the Grand Marshal is the most beautiful and elegant. Look at this hairpin. Is it from Baoyuan Hall? Only things there can match you."
I repeat similar words over and over again without getting tired of it.
Ling Yueqing sat in the carriage and listened for a while, then stood up and got off.
The wife of the Grand Commandant came over immediately and saluted, saying, "Your servant Cao Liu pays respect to the princess."
"Get up, this princess is here just to join in the fun today, there's no need to be too restrained." Ling Yueqing smiled kindly.
Seeing Ling Yueqing's appearance, Taiwei's wife was overjoyed. She had originally planned to invite a few familiar ladies to the flower-viewing banquet.
It was the second girl in Censor Jiang's family who said that it should be a grand ceremony with more people, and especially that Princess Zhan should be invited. Princess Zhan is a kind and polite person, and making more friends with her will help her husband's future career.
Sure enough, what the second girl said was right. I have to prepare some gifts and pay a visit someday.
During the Banquet of Heroes, the Grand Commandant and his wife happened to be back in their hometown to worship their ancestors. The Banquet was planned in a hurry, and the two did not make it back to attend. So they did not know what happened at the banquet, and naturally they did not know about the entanglement between Ling Yueqing and Jiang Wanrou.
The wife of the Grand Marshal instructed the people beside her to greet the guest, and happily welcomed Ling Yueqing into the mansion.
At this time, most of the people attending the banquet had arrived. When they saw Ling Yueqing coming in, they all greeted her.
"Your Highness, your Highness, I pay my respects to the Princess."
"Get up, let's enjoy the flowers together today, don't be shy."
"Yes."
Seeing that Ling Yueqing was sincere in saying this and it was not just a polite remark, everyone continued their conversation.
At this time, Jiang Wanrou and Yu'er came over with teacups.
Jiang Wanrou handed Ling Yueqing a cup of tea, and said with a humble attitude, "Princess, I offer you a cup. There were many misunderstandings between us in the past. This cup of tea is to apologize to you."
Misunderstanding? You call that a misunderstanding? Ling Yueqing rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking that everyone else was a fool.
Ling Yueqing took the tea from Jiang Wanrou, looked at the teacup, and shook it gently, "Thank you for the tea, Miss Jiang Er, but there is no misunderstanding between you and me, so this princess cannot afford your apology."
After saying this, she casually placed the cup on the tray of the maid next to her.
Jiang Wanrou was humiliated in public, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were mixed with light and dark.
The wife of the Grand Marshal was also a flower lover and had collected many rare varieties at home.
When everyone had finished viewing, they all went to the banquet hall to drink tea and chat.
When Ling Yueqing came today, she only brought Ying'er with her. When she left, she specifically told her that her task today was to eat whatever she saw. Don't worry about where she goes, she just needs to eat.
Ying'er didn't understand anything else, but she was very obedient. She immediately said that it was no problem, and eating just happened to be her specialty.
So now Ying'er was sitting quite far away from Ling Yueqing, eating very happily. The maids from other families could only look at her with envy and jealousy.
They were all maids, and they could only serve tea to their masters, but her master gave her cakes and asked her to sit and eat.
I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it at first, but after making this comparison, I feel like my life is really hard.
It might be a deliberate arrangement. Jiang Wanrou sat next to Ling Yueqing and chatted with her every now and then. Although Ling Yueqing didn't respond much, she still talked happily.
After a while, a group of maids came to serve tea and cakes.
The wife of the Grand Commandant called out, "Everyone, come and try some. These are chefs from other countries. The pastries they make have a unique flavor."
Everyone's eyes were on the strange-shaped cakes on the tray with interested expressions.
At this time, Ling Yueqing's intuition as a hunter told her that what was coming was coming.
Sure enough, the next second a cup of tea rushed straight towards Ling Yueqing's skirt.
Ling Yueqing realized that she couldn't hurt herself, so she restrained herself from moving.
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Princess." A little maid immediately knelt on the ground, her face pale and trembling with fear.
"What happened? You were so clumsy and hurt the princess. What should I do?"
When the Grand Marshal's wife heard the noise, she hurried over to check the situation.
Seeing that Ling Yueqing was not seriously injured and the tea only wet her clothes, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Ling Yueqing could say anything, Jiang Wanrou put on her compassionate attitude again.
"Princess, please don't punish her. She didn't do it on purpose. Go down and change your clothes. It's cold. If she catches a cold, it will really be her fault."
Ling Yueqing, "..."
I am speechless. Which ear of yours heard me say that I was going to punish her?
"Yes, take the princess to change into clean clothes."
When wealthy families hold banquets, they would prepare some new clothes of different sizes in case of emergency.
The kneeling maid volunteered to lead the way.
Ling Yueqing pretended to ask Ying'er to go with them, but when she saw that she was enjoying the meal, she went alone.
Jiang Wanrou curled up the corner of her mouth into a smile. God really was helping her. She was thinking of finding someone to knock Ying'er out, but in the end she didn't even have to do anything.
Ling Yueqing followed for a long distance, looking at the road that was becoming more and more remote, and then looking at the shivering little maid in front of her.
With a slight smile, she stopped and walked a long way, then she realized that Ling Yueqing didn't catch up with her, so she hurried back.
"Princess, the guest room is just ahead. Please follow me."
"I'll give you a chance to tell the truth. You're not naive enough to think that if something happens to me, you can get away with it." Ling Yueqing didn't move, but looked at the little maid and spoke.
The little maid didn't say anything, her eyes were full of despair, she knew that this time she had no intention of getting out alive.
Watching her eyes change from despair to determination.
Ling Yueqing added slowly, "Including your family."
The little maid looked up at her instantly, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.
"The crime of murdering the princess is not a small one. It's enough to execute all nine generations of your clan. You should think it over carefully."
After a long while, the little maid seemed to have thought it through, and asked carefully, "If I tell the princess everything, can the princess protect the lives of my family?"
She was also forced. If she disobeyed, they would kill her family. If she obeyed, her family would not survive. She could only pin her hopes on this princess. She heard that this princess treated her servants very well and maybe she could help her.
"Of course, if you haven't done anything against the law, I can let you leave the house and reunite with your family."
"Really?" The little maid was overjoyed. She only wanted to save her family's lives and never thought that she could survive.
Ling Yueqing didn't say anything, but her eyes told her clearly, "Do you think I'm a person who doesn't keep my word?"
