Chapter 36 The First Confrontation (3)

With the hat of despising the princess of the current dynasty put on, even if Lou Xiyue is now Princess Xuanping, today's affairs will not be good.

For a moment, everyone present looked different.

Some of them, led by Ms. Zhou, took pleasure in other's misfortunes, and they snickered under the cover of their round fans, hoping that Princess An Ning could teach Lou Xiyue a lesson at the Flower Moon Banquet.

There are also people who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and watch the show with their arms folded.It seemed that everyone in the center of this vortex had become a stage player, something to be laughed at.

What's more, they have nothing to do with themselves, they are self-contained, drink and talk in an inconspicuous place, and occasionally look in the direction of Lou Xiyue and Princess Anning.

Lou Xiyue knew that at this moment she seemed to be the focus of the audience, no matter what she did or said, it would be magnified by "people with a heart" and willfully misinterpreted into other meanings.

Yunzhi gently tugged at her sleeve with some fear: "Niangniang, you..." If you were charged with disrespecting the princess today, your empress might have a hard time in the capital in the future.

Instead of this, why not write one or two lines of his poems?

Anyway, the empress is very talented, but she must be able to write a few poems at her fingertips.

Lou Xiyue patted the back of her hand lightly, telling her not to worry, then took a step forward and said, "It's just a poem, so why did it get involved in the matter of embarrassment?"

Her tone was calm and her expression was indifferent: "Besides, the princess is magnanimous and kind to others. How can she get angry because I don't want to mention poems?"

As she said that, Lou Xiyue suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, and said bluntly: "Why Miss Yan said this, as if the princess is a small-bellied person who cares about every detail. After all, it is Miss Yan who is close to the princess, otherwise no one else can tell Such a joke."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Ruyu's face changed slightly.

Her expression turned cold, her eyes were also gloomy, she only stared at Lou Xiyue.After a while, she suddenly smiled again and said, "Well, never mind, this joke is not funny, let's play something else, shall we, Princess?"

Princess An Ning naturally nodded: "It's up to you to decide."

The tense atmosphere was diverted by Yan Ruyu's few words, and it was easily lifted away.

Yan Ruyu tried to put a hat on Lou Xiyue but failed, but Lou Xiyue rebelled against her.

If this confrontation was just a fight between the two of them, it would be fine, but Princess Anning was also pulled out.Yan Ruyu couldn't continue arguing with Lou Xiyue, so she could only follow Lou Xiyue's words and put down the "joke" flag to quell the flames of war.

Since she stopped, Lou Xiyue didn't want to entangle her any more, so she naturally returned to her seat.

From a distance, Lou Xiyue glanced in the direction of Yan Ruyu and Princess Anning, then pulled Yunzhi behind her, and whispered, "Look, it's all right."

Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, she patted her chest and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know, I was really scared to death just now, I thought your Majesty was going to offend the princess, but fortunately, the princess is magnanimous and never blamed, Amitabha."

Lou Xiyue said, "That's not necessarily true."

If she hadn't answered that sentence just now, Princess Anning would have already attacked her by now.

Princess Anning and Yan Ruyu partnered to clean up her at the Huayue Banquet and show her off.But even so, Yan Ruyu was unwilling to take the risk of offending the princess.

That's why I stopped temporarily.

Lou Xiyue guessed that if their first plan failed, there must be a second and third plan.It's just that they don't know when they will be willing to give up.

Is it necessary for her to give up the position of princess?
Lou Xiyue thought: Man, at least he shouldn't be so brazen, right?

At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras suddenly sounded in the garden, and dancers and prostitutes were singing and dancing on the temporary stage. At the same time, the whispers of men from far away came from the other side of the small garden.

It was the male guests invited by Princess Anning who had arrived.

Lou Xiyue turned her head and took a look, and found that there was another small courtyard between the men's and women's seats.So in their place, they could only vaguely hear the voice from the other side, which was not very real.

While watching the singing and dancing in front of her, while listening to the noisy voices around her, she couldn't feel any interest.

This kind of banquet is really boring, it's time to find a chance to escape.

Lou Xiyue looked down at the old stand in front of the table, and drank several cups in succession.

Seeing that she was drinking heavily, Yunzhi quickly persuaded her: "Your Majesty, be careful, don't get drunk, this wine is really strong!"

At this moment, some girls excitedly suggested: "The wind is blowing over there, the garden is big, why don't we fly kites in the past!"

Most of the young ladies present here are girls in their teens, even though they have cultivated a calm temperament, but hearing someone say this, their curiosity has also aroused.

They all stood up and said, "Okay, okay!"

"Go, let's fly the kite!"

The young ladies went to the center of the lake with each other, and Lou Xiyue stood up right after him: "What are they going for?"

She woke up so violently this time that she felt a little dizzy in front of her eyes - she drank too much wine just now, she seemed a little drunk.

It doesn't matter if you're drunk, it won't take too much effort to pretend for a while.

Yunzhi hurriedly supported her, and said, "Oh, my lady, they are going to fly kites, so don't join in the fun. Are you drunk? Why don't you take a rest first?"

This is exactly what Lou Xiyue wanted.She nodded and said, "Okay. Go and say hello to Princess Anning, and tell me that I'm too weak to drink, so I have to go back home to rest first."

Yunzhi thought the same way: "Yes, I'll go right away."

But before Yunzhi could leave, a strange face came forward.

The visitor was a middle-aged eunuch.He half bowed his body to greet Lou Xiyue, and said: "See my wife. Please go with this old slave. Your Highness wants to invite you to fly a kite with me."

Yunzhi said: "But our mother is too drunk, she is not feeling well, she is about to ask Her Royal Highness to resign and go back to the mansion, I am afraid that she will not be able to fly a kite with Her Highness."

The eunuch said: "Since this is the case, please explain it to Her Royal Highness. Otherwise, this old slave will not be easy to explain."

Lou Xiyue smiled slightly, and said, "That's natural. Yunzhi, help me over there." She was thinking in her heart: It's really troublesome for a senior official to crush someone to death.

After a while, she and Yunzhi walked through the winding path and came to the garden where everyone was flying kites.

Lou Xiyue looked from a distance, and found that the garden was very close to the male guests' seats, and could be seen almost past a low wall.She can even see the figure swaying back and forth on the other side among the shadows of the trees that cover each other.

At this moment, Princess An Ning was talking to Yan Ruyu with a smile, and when she saw Lou Xiyue coming, she immediately said, "Princess Xuan Ping is here. I just saw that you were in a daze, but you were drunk? Just right, I have hangover here Soup, you drink it, just to hangover."

While speaking, a servant bowed his waist, held up a tray and brought a bowl of hangover soup to Lou Xiyue.

There is still a little bit of steam above the hot soup, and there is a faint aroma of herbs in the air.

But Lou Xiyue smelled a strange smell from the herbal fragrance.

She stared at the hangover soup that night and said, "Princess, this hangover soup doesn't seem too big, does it?"
