Chapter 25: Banquet at Wu Bohou's Mansion
After returning to Zhenyue Pavilion, Jiang Ningwan checked Li Chun's injuries.
Although it was just a superficial injury, it was on her face and we couldn't be careless, so we took her to Huichuntang to get some ointment.
Before leaving, he asked Aunt Xu to take good care of the two snow fox furs in Zhenyue Pavilion.
When they came back, Nanny Xu had just rushed back from Jinhua Residence. "Madam, you really showed your prowess today!"
"I heard that Princess Yi fell ill again. She said she had a headache again."
Jiang Ningwan said calmly, "Princess Yi's headache won't go away."
Huichuntang still has Tianshan Buddha Lotus, but it will not sell it to them at a lower price. At the normal market price, Princess Yi may not be able to afford it.
"I really didn't realize it before, but when Madam gets angry she's really scary."
"But someone from the palace has already gone to look for the general. He will probably be back soon. By then..."
Jiang Ningwan took out the medicine bag and prescription, "Madam Xu, go get someone to boil the medicine."
"If Qin Beihuang wants to come to Zhenyue Pavilion, you should show him the prescription. He is a soldier and can understand the herbs in it that can stop bleeding and prolong life."
"They said Lichun was beaten so badly that he couldn't stop spitting blood from his mouth. I'm afraid he won't live long."
"If he dares to step into the Pillow Moon Pavilion, I will dare to order the General's Mansion."
She had come up with this plan on the way to Huichun Hall. Who doesn't like to see how miserable they are?
If her maidservant who came with her as a dowry died in the general's mansion, let's see how Qin Beihuang would explain to the Duke's Mansion and how he would be able to stop the gossips.
She didn't care about her face, but Princess Yi's reputation was damaged, and she might not be qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum in the future.
Before Prince Yi died, he took out a calligraphy piece awarded to him by the retired emperor and asked the emperor to agree to bury him in the imperial mausoleum.
Lichun also quickly returned to her room and lay down to rest.
Soon, angry footsteps and Qin Beihuang's angry voice were heard outside.
But she was stopped by Aunt Xu.
According to Jiang Ningwan's instructions, he took out the prescription and showed it to Qin Beihuang.
Jiang Ningwan was leisurely reading a book and drinking tea in the room. She knew that Qin Beihuang would definitely come. She had really had enough of dealing with him, so she decided to pretend that he didn't see her.
Even though he clearly hates her, he still always comes to find her.
Even though he knew that looking for her would lead to no results, he still persisted in trying to disgust her.
Qin Beihuang stood outside the courtyard gate for a while, then suppressed his anger and left.
The weather is getting colder.
Jiang Ningwan got up early to change her clothes and put on makeup. Today was the birthday of Marquis Wu Bo's daughter, and the gift she had prepared for so long had to be given out today.
Putting on a snow fox fur coat, Jiang Ningwan went out.
I ran into Qin Jianjian and Lu Qingheng outside the door. They were also going to the banquet.
"Hurry up and load the truck!" Qin Jianjian urged in a low voice.
Seeing the servants carrying the gifts onto the carriage, Qin Jianjian turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ningwan. When he saw the snow fox fur on her, he gritted his teeth.
"We only have one carriage in our house, and our belongings are already loaded in it. There's no room for a giant like you."
After that, he helped Lu Qingheng into the carriage, "Sister-in-law, it's cold outside, let's get in the carriage first."
Lu Qingheng glanced at Jiang Ningwan and secretly clenched his palms. She was going to attend someone else's birthday party today, and she was dressed so gorgeously.
"See how she can get there without a carriage? If she goes too late, no one will save a seat for her."
Seeing that Lu Qingheng and Qin Jianjian had already boarded the carriage and the driver was about to drive, Jiang Ning stepped forward and made a hushing gesture to the driver.
He untied the carriage neatly and climbed onto the horse.
The detached carriage suddenly fell down, and screams were heard from the carriage. The two people almost fell out of the carriage, and the gifts were scattered all over the ground.
After stabilizing himself, Lu Qingheng immediately walked out, "What's going on?"
When I looked up, I saw the snow-white figure riding away on horseback. The unrestrained figure was like a horse that had broken free from its reins, extremely cool and graceful.
There was even a hint of pride in his expression.
Lu Qingheng's heart tightened. She rode the horse so well.
She was a secluded woman who had never been to a battlefield...
"Sister-in-law, please take care of her!" Qin Jianjian came out of the carriage, stamping his feet in anger.
Lu Qingheng couldn't help but clench his palms.
Doesn't she want to care?
Even Qin Beihuang couldn't do anything to Jiang Ningwan.
We can only wait for the blood-drying grass to take effect.
Jiang Ningwan rode her horse, deliberately taking a detour through the quiet streets, but happened to encounter the Chu Prince's carriage parked on the side of the road, and the coachman was checking the carriage.
Xiao Lan urged from the side: "Hurry up, the prince still has things to do."
Inside the carriage, Qin Shuangchi was resting with his eyes closed when he heard a fierce sound of horse hooves approaching from afar. Suddenly, the sound stopped, and a clear sound like a spring rang out.
"Sixteenth Uncle."
His eyelashes trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
The slender fingers with distinct knuckles casually lifted the curtain, revealing his elegant eyebrows.
In the bright sunlight, the snow-white figure was a little dazzling, and the bright smiling face bloomed before my eyes like a dream.
"Is Sixteenth Imperial Uncle going to the Marquis Wu's residence? The carriage is broken, how about I take him there?"
"No need. I don't trust your riding skills." Qin Shuangchi glanced at the horse under her indifferently.
Jiang Ningwan was stunned. Look down on her?
"Then please wait patiently, Your Majesty."
"drive!"
The horse was spurred and the dust was flying.
That ostentatious figure left a burning impression in Qin Shuangchi's eyes.
"Ahem..." Xiao Lan waved away the dust and looked at the figure riding away on horseback. "It's been a long time since I saw Miss Jiang riding a horse."
The driver stepped forward and reminded: "Your Highness, the carriage has been repaired."
"Enter the palace!" Xiao Lan immediately jumped onto the carriage.
A voice came from the side: "Change the route to Wu Bohou Mansion."
Xiao Lan turned his head in shock. —
Wu Bohou Mansion.
Pei's ancestors had made great contributions to the country and were founding heroes. This generation of Marquis Wu Bo also made great contributions when he was young and held a very high position in the court.
Pei Xunzhi is the only jewel in the crown of Marquis Wu Bo's family. Today is her 18th birthday party, which is being held lavishly by Marquis Wu Bo's family. The guests are all the young generation of the powerful and influential people in Kyoto. It is so lively and grand, and it is the first of its kind in Kyoto.
The courtyard was already full of guests, all chatting with each other.
Jiang Ningwan found a seat and sat down, waiting for the banquet to begin.
While drinking tea, Qin Jianjian's voice suddenly reached my ears——
"Sister Pei looks so beautiful today. This dress must be made of new material from Xiu Luo Pavilion. It costs a hundred gold coins for one piece. Sister Pei is so generous." Qin gradually felt envious and jealous.
They are both families of military generals, so why is the Wu Bohou Mansion so rich?
Pei Xunzhi smiled faintly, "How could I bear to buy such expensive material? It was a reward from the Queen Mother."
Hearing this, Qin Jian's face froze, and then he quickly took out the brocade box and opened it.
"Sister Pei, this is a birthday gift that my sister-in-law and I specially selected for you. This is the Star-Breaking Whip that my sister-in-law captured during the Southern Expedition. It's extremely powerful, and I'm giving it to you as a weapon!"
Pei Xunzhi took it and took a look. "These are weapons captured during the Southern Expedition. They are of great significance. I dare not accept them."
"This whip is of great significance. My sister-in-law really put a lot of thought into it." Qin Jianjian cast a glance at Jiang Ningwan sitting on the table and said sarcastically, "It's not like some people who dress so well but come here empty-handed. How dare they do that?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Jiang Ningwan.
Qin gradually became complacent. Even if no one said anything, those looks were enough to embarrass Jiang Ningwan. That was enough.
Pei Xunzhi's tone turned a bit colder: "I invited everyone to the banquet for fun and joy, not for your gifts."
"If you think that the Wubo Marquisate is hosting a banquet just to accept gifts, then I dare not accept anything today. The Wubo Marquisate cannot afford the charge of accepting bribes."
As he said that, he stuffed the whip back into Qin Jianjian's hand.
