After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince
Chapter 33 Spring Banquet
The palace's spring banquet is held in spring, which is the perfect season, neither too cold nor too hot.
Young men and young ladies from various noble families wore flowery dresses of various colors, with all kinds of flowers blooming in profusion.
Helan Xuenuo picked out a bamboo green myrtle skirt with a crabapple flower pattern on the chest.
She wore a double butterfly hairpin on her head.
Her simple dress made her look even cooler.
Qi Didi was wearing a pink and green skirt with a peony pattern on the chest. Her hair was loose and she had a gold and jade hairpin on her head.
Compared with Helan Xuenuo, Qi Didi is like a delicate peach blossom, ready to bloom at any time, so beautiful that it overwhelms everyone.
If there is a beauty contest in Beijing, Qi Didi will definitely be number one.
She sat with Helan Xuenuo,
Helan Xuenuo looked to the right and saw her old acquaintance Shen Yinzhen.
How should we begin to describe her fate with Shen Yinzhen? It seems that everything is arranged by fate.
The spring banquet in the palace was very simple, with a plate of lotus and taro paste pastry and a plate of boiled seasonal vegetables on each table.
Seasonal vegetables are made by cooking vegetables of various colors together.
It is reported that these seasonal vegetables are shipped from all over the country and are extremely precious and rare to be mixed together in a plate.
The servant beside him was holding a purple clay stone teapot and pouring tea into the celadon cup on the table. The tea was steaming and the fragrance was everywhere.
Helan Xuenuo looked at the cakes lying on the high-footed plate, picked up one and tasted it, and the taste was the same as always.
She used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of boiled seasonal vegetables from the patterned plate and put it into her mouth. She felt it was a little ridiculous. She knew that the old princess had always been a vegetarian and always looked down on others because she relied on the old prince's contribution to saving the country.
Even the spring banquet became a vegetarian banquet.
Everything here seemed familiar and unfamiliar to her, including the old princess sitting in the hall. She clutched the corner of her clothes, a fierce look rushed to the corner of her eyes, and they began to turn red.
Everything from the previous life came back to mind.
At the Spring Banquet, she was drugged and had sex with Gu Shicheng. The old princess sent someone to break open the door, and outside the door were gathered young men and girls from aristocratic families.
She saw Qi Didi in the crowd looking at them with a smile.
Yuan Xu closed the door and dispersed the people.
Inside the room, Gu Shicheng pushed her away and roared, "You resorted to such means to climb into my bed just to be with me? Do you really have no shame at all?"
"I...I didn't...I don't know what happened."
Gu Shicheng put on his clothes and left without looking back.
When she put on her clothes and chased to the door, the old princess wanted to raise her hand to slap her, but was stopped by Yuan Xu.
The old princess left angrily with Aunt Cui.
Helan Xuenuo fell to her knees on the ground. She couldn't cry anymore. She didn't know why she ended up on this bed. Even all the young men and women in the capital witnessed her embarrassment, and it happened in front of the person she loved the most. But that person also misunderstood her and left her.
She grabbed Yuan Xu's clothes and said, "Yuan Xu, do you believe me? I didn't drug you."
"I know this is not what you want. You have always been very concerned about your reputation. If you wish, the door of my Yuan Mansion will always be open to you, and the position of my wife will always be reserved for you."
Yuan Xu took her away in full view of everyone.
Soon, the scandal spread throughout the capital.
Old General Helan was disappointed with his daughter, but he still believed in her and went to the palace to ask His Highness to grant her a marriage with Gu Shicheng.
At that time, she thought that this was a good thing, as long as she could marry Master Gu.
When Yuan Xu came to her house again, she stopped him outside the house and threw out the marriage certificate, "Yuan Xu, let's cancel the engagement."
A door was closed, and she and Yuan Xu became strangers, but she did not regret it.
When she married into the palace, because of a scandal, the old princess forbade the beating of drums and gongs and sent her to the palace in the middle of the night.
She stayed in the empty room all night on her wedding night.
Gu Shicheng never touched her again.
The old princess often punished her by making her kneel down in the name of teaching her manners.
She fainted that day and the imperial physician diagnosed that she was pregnant.
She touched her belly and smiled for a long time. She thought that things would be different after having a child. As time went by, Gu Shicheng would realize that he had misunderstood her and fall in love with her.
Until Gu Shicheng brought a bowl of "abortion-safeguarding medicine" and forced her to drink it, she broke free and begged him, "Please, the child is innocent."
"This is a pregnancy-maintaining medicine."
She believed him and drank it.
She was in pain all night, blood was flowing down her thigh, and the baby was not saved.
Qi Didi came to the house and laughed at her, "Do you think he gave you a pregnancy-preserving drug? It's an abortion drug."
Qi Didi no longer treated her the same way as before, and she looked at her with disgust.
The old princess believed Qi Didi's words and thought that she had killed her child with her own hands.
In a rage, he drove her and Xiaozhu to live in the woodshed, fed them rotten rice and vegetables, and humiliated them in various ways.
Her high fever wouldn't go away, and Xiao Zhu screamed and cried, begging the old princess to let them go, but no one responded.
All that was handed into the woodshed was cold, rotten food.
And what about Gu Shicheng? He went to fight outside the Great Wall and came back just when she was about to collapse.
He carried her out of the woodshed, and when he learned that the child was gone, he strangled her angrily.
She didn't want to explain anymore, she just smiled palely and said, "You are not qualified to be a father."
After that day, the look he gave her was even more disgusting.
Later, the old princess wanted to take a concubine for Gu Shicheng. The funny thing was that Gu Shicheng pulled her in front of the old princess and said that he only loved her and it was impossible for him to take another concubine.
From then on, she gained a reputation as a jealous person.
The old princess blamed her for the reason why Gu Shicheng did not take a concubine.
But Qi Didi brought an old fortune teller, who took one look at Helan Xuenuo and said that she had few blessings and few children, and was born to be a husband-killer.
The old princess abused her in various ways, wishing she would die immediately.
At that time, she still had the energy to fight and argue with them.
Until the second prince Gu Yanli ascended the throne and the entire Helan family was wiped out, she allowed them to torture and abuse her and lost her mind.
She begged Gu Shicheng to give her a letter of divorce.
Gu Shicheng leaned over and brushed aside her scattered hair, then whispered softly in her ear, "Helan, we can only be together in this life, never apart."
But he never expected that when he saw Gu Shicheng again, he would see his cold corpse lying in a coffin.
Thinking of all this, her eyes turned red and moist, and her heart was filled with hatred.
"Sister Helan, are you not feeling well? Stop pretending to be crazy and teasing me again." Shen Yinzhen glanced at her sideways and moved away.
"Oh? Sister Shen, stop joking. We're in the palace today, so no matter what, we have to give face to the young prince and the old princess. Those who come here today are all young masters from aristocratic families, so I have to admire them and don't have time to argue with you."
Helan Xuenuo looked at the Second Prince, who raised his glass and smiled at her, and she smiled faintly in return.
She turned her head and saw Shen Yinzhen lowering her head shyly.
She covered her face and wanted to laugh, then turned her head to look at Qi Didi, and found that Qi Didi's eyes were fixed on somewhere diagonally in front of her.
She followed her line of sight and saw the princess and the county lady sitting at a desk diagonally in front of her.
The princess held a piece of cake in her hand and handed it to Mi Li. She saw that the princess had a handkerchief wrapped in her hand.
But when she looked at him, the princess immediately dropped her hands.
The princess next to the princess smiled brightly at Helan Xuenuo, raised a cup of tea and offered it to Helan Xuenuo from a distance.
Helan Xuenuo raised her teacup and smiled brightly in return.
She had an inexplicable liking for the princess, even felt close to her.
Her eyes turned to the old princess and Gu Shicheng who was sitting beside her.
Gu Shicheng felt the gaze and looked at her.
Helan Xuenuo just smiled at him, but the meaning of the smile was ambiguous.
"Everyone, enjoy some tea." The old princess raised a cup of tea and drank it.
Everyone also picked up the cup of Pu'er tea in front of them and drank it in return.
While Helan Xuenuo was drinking tea, she glanced at Yuan Xu who was sitting in the corner. Yuan Xu also looked at her and raised his eyebrows at her.
"Sister, have a few more drinks." Qi Didi took the teapot from the maid beside her and poured water into Helan Xuenuo's cup. As soon as she drank one cup, Qi Didi poured another one.
She looked at Qi Didi, and Qi Didi's eyes avoided her.
Helan Xuonuo drank one cup after another, and after three cups, he couldn't even taste the tea.
After two sticks of incense.
Helan Xuenuo looked at the seats of Qi Didi and Gu Shicheng, and found that they were empty, and the two of them were nowhere to be found.
A maid walked up to the old princess and said something. The old princess became furious and stood up and left in a hurry with her.
She chuckled.
Shen Yinzhen asked disdainfully, "What bad things are you going to do again?
Helan Xuenuo replied loudly, "I heard that the palace has a lotus pond with beautiful flowers. The lotus seeds can be picked and eaten raw. There are also several small boats that can be used for boating. Why don't you all go out and take a look?"
Everyone agreed and followed her.
Helan Xuenuo looked towards the house beside the lotus pond. The old princess was walking over and standing at the door with a flushed face.
"Hey, why is the old princess so angry?" After saying this, Helan Xuenuo walked towards the old princess.
Everyone followed curiously.
The old princess ordered a servant in the mansion to chop open the door with an axe, and the sounds of making love came from inside the house.
At this time, Huang Jiuyuan squeezed out and stood beside Helan Xuenuo and said with a smile, "Let me see, what happened?"
Huang Jiuyuan was about to move forward, but was pulled back by Helan Xuenuo.
She glanced at Huang Jiuyuan with disdain.
The old princess roared, "Shameless things."
