Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 706 Hongmen Banquet

Chapter 706 Hongmen Banquet (2 more)
Those who came to celebrate Yang Xueru's birthday today were all gentle and unfamiliar female relatives.

Therefore, when the banquet was held, she was forced to sit with the three concubines.

Yang Xueru stood up with a glass of wine in her hand, said a long section of very good opening remarks, then turned her attention to Wen Wan, and especially thanked her for taking the time to come to the banquet.

As soon as she said that, all the female relatives' attention fell on Wen Wan.

There are many princesses all over the capital, but only Princess Yong'an is the most special. She is the daughter of the former Changping princess who was fostered in the countryside. She was born last year. Every time the provinces paid tribute to good things, the emperor never forgot to send a copy to the Song family.

The last time the lychees came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, at the lychee banquet, the ladies of the palaces only got a few lychees, and the Song family directly got two lychees, each with at least a hundred lychees.

Her position in the emperor's heart can be said to be irreplaceable by princes and princesses.

Even the prince who is almost perfect in the eyes of the common people, compared with his cousin, the favor he receives is only one or two tenths.

It can be seen from this that the banquet that Princess Yong'an is willing to show her face to attend means supreme glory.

Right now, many noble ladies looked at Yang Xueru with envious eyes.

Not only envied her as the quasi-princess concubine, but also envied her being honored by Princess Yong'an.

It seems that everyone has reached a certain consensus tacitly: no matter who it is, as long as they can win the favor of Princess Yong'an, even if they can't fly to the branches in the future, they will live a very comfortable life.

Wen Wan was speechless about this.

Are these people going too far?She is just an illusory princess halo on the head of the mistress of the Song family, how can she be so powerful?Even if the emperor is her uncle and the prince is her cousin, the thoughts of the emperor and the prince cannot be controlled by her as a little woman. Whether it will be better after entering the East Palace or not depends entirely on the prince's preference?Is there a relationship with her for half a penny?
Qi Xuan couldn't understand Yang Xueru's acting like this, so she covered half of her face with a fan, and whispered to Dong Han who was next to her, "I'm going to start talking before I enter the East Palace, there's still more than a year left, what will happen then? Who can say for sure, what does Sister Dong think?"

Dong Han took a sip from his wine glass and said in a low voice, "Since you can't say for sure, why should my sister comment?"

Qi Xuan choked, then turned her head away.

Although Dong Han's voice was not loud, it pierced into Wen Wan's ears. She looked this way, but saw that the little girl had lowered her head and was eating food slowly, unable to see clearly the expression on her face.

Wen Wan withdrew her gaze, thoughtful.

The reason why she was attracted by Dong Han was not only because of Dong Han's unique temperament, but also because her words were the same as Song Wei's concept all along, not to talk about others behind their backs, especially when you don't know When the truth of the matter is revealed, one cannot express one's opinion at will.

Next to her, Yang Xueru had finished speaking.

The more this girl wants to have a relationship with Wen Wan, the more Wen Wan will not let her succeed.

Smiling, she looked gently at Mrs. Zheng, the first assistant, and said what she said to Yang Xueru before, "My family's husband has only been in court for a short time. He often told me that he had been taken care of by the first assistant. This time, the third girl On his birthday, he asked me to come, and he thanked Yang Shoufu for taking care of him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng's expression suddenly changed.

All those present here are female relatives, they don't understand the affairs of the court, and they think that what Wen Wan said is the truth.

But in fact, Song Wei and Yang Shoufu couldn't fight each other. One was in the cabinet and the other was in Taichang Temple, two basically irrelevant departments. How did Yang Shoufu take care of Song Wei in government affairs?

If there really was a "caretaker", it could only be that he did some small tricks last year to avenge the Liang family.

Zheng Shi didn't expect that the Song Mansion knew about it long ago, let alone that Wen Wan could say it in front of so many people.

If it wasn't intentional, who would believe it?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng frowned, and raised her eyes to look at Wen Wan, only to see her demure appearance, dignified sitting posture, occasionally moving her chopsticks to pick up vegetables, her movements were slow and graceful, and there was no abnormality at all.

Even so, Zheng was still very disturbed.

When Song Wei became enmity with the Liang family, Wen Wan's identity hadn't been revealed yet, and even when the Liang family planned to take revenge on Song Wei through Su Yi's hand, Wen Wan's identity hadn't been revealed yet.

Later, when it was exposed, knowing that this was a heavyweight, Yang Shoufu planned to stop for the time being.

This time Yang Xueru was asked to post a post to the Song family in order to ease the relationship between the Yang and Song families through a banquet.

But after listening to Wen Wan's words just now, Zheng realized that a dry banquet alone was far from enough to erase the deep impression of the Song family on that incident.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Zheng finally came up with a plan. She called the nurse to her side and whispered some instructions.

The accompanying nurse was very surprised after hearing this, "Madam, do you really want to do this?"

A cold light flashed in Zheng's eyes, "Princess Yong'an is a precious person. If we confront her at this stage, it will affect Sister Ru's entry into the East Palace in the future. If we want her to ignore what happened a year ago, the only way is to give her She'll have to take a strong dose of medicine."

The accompanying room nurse listened, secretly took a look at Wen Wan, and then quietly walked away while everyone was unprepared.

Usually this kind of banquet takes a very long time, and there will be a tea party after the banquet, and the female relatives go to the back garden to drink tea and enjoy the flowers.

Wen Wan is used to taking naps, she is a little sleepy, she finally found an empty flower gazebo, and planned to take a nap in it, Linglong and Yun Cai were watching by her side.

Just as Wen Wan was about to fall asleep, a long-lost premonition suddenly appeared.

She suddenly opened her eyes, stood up and looked towards the lotus pond not far away, but there was no one there.

Yun Cai felt curious and asked her, "Ma'am, what are you looking at?"

She hooked her lips gently and sarcastically, and shook her head, "It's nothing."

After speaking, he sat down and continued to sleep.

She fell asleep very quickly, and after an unknown amount of time, Linglong whispered in her ear, "Madam, Madam, wake up quickly."

Wen Wan opened her eyelids and looked at Linglong in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Linglong said: "The housekeeper next to the old lady came to invite her, and said that she had prepared a return gift for us alone, and wanted to invite the lady to come over."

Wen Wan raised her eyebrows, "Just invite me over alone?"

Linglong nodded and said yes.

Wen Wan responded, "Then let's go!"

When she walked out of the gazebo, she saw Mrs. Yang's accompanying nurse standing not far away, and when she saw Wen Wan, she smiled all over her face, "Princess, the old lady is waiting for you at the tea house."

As he spoke, he wanted to lead Wen Wan towards the lotus pond.

Wen Wan suddenly said "Yeah", "My handkerchief is gone."

The roommate said: "Could it have fallen in the pavilion?"

Wen Wan asked Linglong to go back and look for it. Linglong searched around and said no.

"It must have fallen on the table just now." Wen Wan showed anxiety, "No, I have to go and see for myself."

The accompanying nurse frowned, but she couldn't stop it.

The handkerchief is a personal item, so it doesn't matter if you lose it, the important thing is that you are afraid of being picked up by a foreigner, once someone recognizes it, the charge of "fornication" will definitely not go away.

Wen Wan is a princess and a married woman, so if someone else picks up the handkerchief, what's the deal?

So the housekeeper could only accompany Wen Wan to the hall where the banquet was held, that direction was just opposite to the lotus pond.

Wen Wan couldn't go to the lotus pond because the old Mrs. Yang had prepared a good show for her. She had a premonition that she would "accidentally" fall into the water, and then someone jumped in to save her.

The person who rescued her was none other than Yang Xueru's unmarried elder brother Yang Huan.

Wen Wan was drenched all over, and was carried out of the lotus pond by a foreigner, how could her reputation survive?

However, Mrs. Yang's purpose was not to tarnish Wen Wan's reputation. She wanted Wen Wan to appreciate the Yang family, so she gave her life-saving grace first, and then assured her that this matter would never spread and ruin her reputation. Let her be more grateful, so as to achieve the goal of reconciliation between the Yang and Song families.

Wen Wan secretly rejoiced that she was lucky to be able to predict it, otherwise if the old man were to be punished, she might really fall into her hands today.

Concentrating on her thoughts, Wen Wan took the two maids back to the place where the banquet was held before, and strolled around perfunctorily, but couldn't find the handkerchief. Just as she was about to say that she would look for it elsewhere, she saw Qi Xuan's maid crying Running over and meeting Wen Wan and the others, she said in a panic, "It's no good, my girl fell into the water, princess, please find someone to save her!"

As soon as the servant girl's voice fell, the maid's face suddenly turned pale.

 It’s a little sloppy today, and it will be even better tomorrow o(╥﹏╥)o
