Tragic death and rebirth, I remarried the scumbag uncle on the spot
Chapter 142 Banquet
"I'm so tired, and you won't even give me a bowl of water to drink." Wei Heng put on airs and complained.
"You want to drink water without doing anything? Hurry up and check if there is anything wrong with this rouge." Although Xie Sui said this, he secretly made a gesture to Bei Chu.
Wei Heng glanced at Xie Sui unhappily and said, "I really followed the wrong master." As he said this, he had already picked up the rouge on the table and examined it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, he could not find any clues.
"Just give me some time."
Yu Guiwan frowned. The banquet was only seven days away and it was too late.
"No, it's too late."
"If there's no time, we can only wait." As she spoke, Wei Heng took the rouge in her hand and quickly walked out. At this time, Bei Chu came in with a pot of tea. Seeing Wei Heng's hurried look, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want some water?"
"What kind of water do you want to drink? I don't have time to drink water."
Wei Heng said unhappily and hurried out the door.
Who told him that he owed Xie Sui? He only knew how to order him around all day long. He could often stay with Yu Guiwan, but he suffered so much that he didn't even have time to see the sun and rain.
Yu Guiwan's brows were still furrowed. In seven days, if there was really something wrong with the rouge, it would probably be too late to remake it after Wei Heng had checked it out. Now...
There was only one solution. "Stop making rouge and tell the housekeeper to buy some new ones and make powder instead."
"After these busy days, everyone's monthly salary will be tripled, and there will be additional bonus silver."
"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."
Bei Chu hurried out.
"Awan is still as smart and cautious as ever." Xie Sui praised him without hesitation. It was still unknown what was wrong with the rouge. If it was really found that there was something wrong with the rouge, it would probably be too late.
It is better to find another way out. If there is really someone behind the scenes, he can catch the other side off guard.
……
In the attic.
The middle-aged woman was leaning her head back to listen to the musicians playing music.
A woman in black approached her and said a few words. The middle-aged woman opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, "Are you sure?"
The man continued plucking the strings and replied, "Of course. There's nothing to be afraid of just a mere Wei Heng." A smile appeared on the man's face, and he looked determined to win.
"Now that I have your promise, please don't let me down." She curled her lips and smiled.

Seven days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day for the banquet at Prince Chen's Mansion.
The Prince Chen’s Mansion has been established for so many years, but it has never held a banquet for people from the capital. Even the number of people who have entered the palace is very small. Now, because of Yu Guiwan, the precedent has been broken. Who dares not come to the banquet of the Prince Chen’s Mansion?
Xie Sui has always disliked such occasions, but for Yu Guiwan, he changed his clothes today. Since all the people coming today are women, it would be inconvenient for Xie Sui to go directly to the backyard, so he specially ordered someone to prepare some snacks and send them over.
Yu Guiwan invited her to a banquet, so Su Qingyu naturally arrived at Prince Chen's mansion early in the morning to accompany Yu Guiwan. At this moment, she was standing beside her. "It's true that Princess Chen's face is different. I'm afraid all the important people are here today."
"Everyone, please have some tea and snacks in the courtyard first, and then follow me to the garden to enjoy the flowers." Yu Guiwan said loudly, looking at the people in the courtyard.
"Thank you, Princess Chen." Everyone responded.
Since all the noble ladies in the capital were invited, Yang Nian naturally came as well. When Yu Guiwan saw her coming, she hurried forward and called out, "Mom." Perhaps because her family was safe, Yang Nian's complexion looked much better.
"How is your leg, brother?" Yu Guiwan was always concerned about Yu Yanlin's leg injury.
Yang Nian's eyes lit up with joy when he mentioned this. "Much better now. I can even take a few steps on my own occasionally. I should be able to walk normally again in a few days."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Yu Guiwan felt relieved.
"Princess, the prince ordered me to bring some snacks over." The maid came to Yu Guiwan, who was stunned. Hadn't she already had people prepare cakes and tea? Why did Xie Sui send someone to bring them over again?
"Yeah." She nodded.
After receiving Yu Guiwan's instructions, the maid immediately waved her hand and placed some cakes in front of everyone.
Everyone present heard that these were sent by Xie Sui. What husband would care about his wife's banquet? For a moment, the eyes of the female relatives present were full of envy. As a woman, who doesn't want to marry a husband who loves her?
Su Qingyu jokingly whispered, "Look, you and your wife are really enviable."
Yu Guiwan gave her a coquettish look and said nothing.
Yu Guiwan delayed opening the banquet and did not explain what the event was today. Even if Prince Chen had a great reputation, it could not stop people from gossiping.
"What's going on? Why hasn't the banquet started yet?"
"Who said it wasn't? We've been waiting for such a long time."
Su Qingyu looked at the scene and asked in a low voice, "Gui Wan, is there anyone else coming?" She knew that Gui Wan would not do it on purpose. After all, the people who came today were not the families of ordinary families.
Yu Guiwan didn't say anything. She looked at the servant who was coming towards the courtyard gate, and then she slowly uttered two words, "Here he comes."
Hmm? Who's coming?
Su Qingyu followed Yu Guiwan's gaze.
"Princess Roujia has arrived!"
The servant sang loudly, and everyone present looked over, walked out of their seats, and knelt down, "Greetings to Princess Roujia." Yu Guiwan also came down the steps and greeted her, "Greetings, Imperial Sister."
Xie Rou smiled and nodded at Yu Guiwan, then looked at everyone, "Everyone, get up. There's no need to be formal today. I'm here just to have some fun."
When everyone stood up, they saw that the person standing next to Xie Rou was the owner of Mingyuzhai, Shi Lingyue.
Normally, these noble ladies love nothing more than dressing up, but now they didn’t expect that the owner of Mingyuzhai has also come. They all want to get close to her and try to establish a good relationship with Shi Lingyue, hoping that they can use the back door to buy their favorite rouge and powder in advance in the future.
"Now that everyone is here, please follow me to the garden."
Yu Guiwan had kept the secret early in the morning, which made everyone very curious about what Yu Guiwan wanted to do today.
"Royal sister, please."
Yu Guiwan made a gesture and the two of them walked in front.
Everyone followed Yu Guiwan to the garden and couldn't help but show surprise. The flowers and plants in the garden were all rare varieties, which were not easy to see on a normal day.
Shi Lingyue looked at Yu Guiwan with interest. She wanted to see how Yu Guiwan would make her rouge famous today.
"These precious varieties are rare even in the palace." Xie Rou looked at the clusters of flowers in front of her. There were even many varieties that she had never seen before. After all, the emperor always treated Asui differently.
