"Madams, you are joking," Song Wanqing said coldly, "When my mother was alive, my family was very strict, and my grandfather even taught me to be self-restrained and polite. How could the King of Chu and I have a private life-long agreement?"
All the ladies looked at each other.
"Qing'er, your feelings for me are obvious to all," Xiao Yi looked at Song Wanqing provocatively, "The ladies in each house also have good intentions, why do you have to be so pretentious?"
Chen Qinglian smiled and said, "My little daughter is naturally shy. Don't be surprised."
This chorus did not give Song Wanqing a chance to explain clearly.
Song Wanqing gritted her teeth secretly, glanced anxiously at the door, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
She turned her head and looked aggrieved, "But the King of Chu is interested in sister Zhiqiu, how can I ruin their good deeds?"
"Qing'er, what are you talking about!" Chen Qinglian's face didn't look good.
"Mother!" At this time, Song Zhiqiu's voice sounded from outside the crowd.
Everyone immediately moved out of the way and watched Song Zhiqiu step forward. They almost instantly noticed the floating clouds on Song Zhiqiu's face.
Although these ladies are not concubines in the harem, most of the men in the family have three wives and four concubines, and competition for favor is going on every day. Even if they can't get something like Fuyunsha, they have all seen it.
When Chen Qinglian saw the floating veil on Song Zhiqiu's face, she stepped forward and pulled it off.
"Mother? What's wrong?" Song Zhiqiu looked confused.
"Sister," Song Wanqing came over at this time, "The thing you were wearing on your face just now looks familiar. Where did you get it?"
"It's not you..." Song Zhiqiu felt that the atmosphere was not right. Song Wanqing didn't want to frame him for theft, right?
Song Wanqing continued, "This thing looks very valuable, like it belongs to the nobles in the palace."
really!
Song Zhiqiu instantly understood that if she said it was a gift from Song Wanqing, Song Wanqing would definitely deny it, and then she would not be able to explain clearly.
She quickly looked at Xiao Yi and said, "His Royal Highness King Chu gave it to me."
Chen Qinglian slapped her in the face, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She looked at Song Wanqing fiercely, but she couldn't tell that this thing was given to Song Wanqing by her mother.
It seems that he underestimated Song Wanqing, who knew Fuyunsha.
Song Zhiqiu was slapped for no reason and had no idea what happened, but she could clearly feel the disdainful looks of the ladies, and Xiao Yi... He also seemed to have a look of disgust on his face.
What did she do wrong?
"Okay, the auspicious time has come, everyone, please take your seats." Xiao Mingyue gave Song Wanqing a serious look.
Everyone took turns to offer congratulatory gifts, and soon the banquet officially began.
During the dinner, the ladies of each house looked at Xiao Yi and Song Zhiqiu and pointed at them from time to time, making the two of them restless.
Song Wan was enjoying his leisure time and enjoying the delicious food with sympathetic eyes.
After a while, Xiao Mingyue stood up and left, and soon someone came over to send a message to Song Wanqing.
"Miss Song, the eldest princess invites you!"
Chen Qinglian immediately spoke, "Since it is the eldest princess who has invited me, Qing'er, please go quickly."
Song Wanqing stood up and left, heading to the backyard of the princess mansion.
The princess mansion was built with a lot of money and has all kinds of pavilions and pavilions. It is very beautiful.
The maid who led the way walked very fast, and the farther she went, the farther she went.
On the way, Song Wanqing noticed that someone seemed to be joking in a small pavilion not far away.
Finally, the maid stopped in front of a small courtyard.
"The eldest princess is waiting for you inside, but I won't go in."
Song Wanqing nodded. There was no sound in the small courtyard, which was really strange.
She opened the door carefully, but did not see Xiao Mingyue. Just when she was about to turn around and ask, someone suddenly covered her mouth with a wet handkerchief.
The handkerchief was soaked in the potion, and Song Wanqing instantly knew that she had been attacked, but the person behind her was very skilled in martial arts and she could not struggle.
After a moment, the man let go of his hand and saw Song Wanqing falling weakly to the ground with a red face, and then turned around and left with relief.
The maid was waiting outside. When she saw him coming out, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
"It's done." The man said solemnly, "I'll wait here, you go and tell King Chu right away."
The maid nodded and left quickly.
——
In the main courtyard, after Song Wanqing left, Xiao Yi and Song Zhiqiu went out together.
Song Zhiqiu was so aggrieved that he kept crying.
"Zhiqiu, you are so stupid. That Fuyunsha..." Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly, "It is an obscene material used to compete for favor in the harem. How can you wear it on your face?"
Song Zhiqiu blushed instantly. With such a thing on her face, how could she... have the nerve to survive?
She squatted on the ground and started crying.
"Okay, don't cry." Xiao Yi was furious, "You were also tricked by Song Wan, and everyone will forget it soon."
"Brother Yi, you won't want me, will you?" Song Zhiqiu raised his head pitifully.
"How could it be?" Xiao Yi pulled her up.
The two of them went to the backyard and waited for the maid to come back with news.
The last time they administered medicine to Song Wanqing failed, this time they were fully prepared.
Xiao Yi noticed that someone seemed to be sitting in a pavilion not far away. He looked carefully and said, "Zhiqiu, is the person in that pavilion sitting in a wheelchair?"
"Well?" Song Zhiqiu also looked over and saw that the man seemed to be sitting in a wheelchair, "Is it Xiao Jiu'an?"
"I don't know." Xiao Yi had a bad feeling, "Will he come?"
"The eldest princess is his sister after all, so it's normal for him to come to celebrate her birthday." Song Zhiqiu didn't care.
Xiao Yi said nothing. Xiao Jiuan and Xiao Mingyue were not close. No, Xiao Jiuan was not close to anyone. Is the person in the pavilion actually Xiao Jiuan?
At this time, the maid sent to lead the way for Song Wanqing came back.
"King Chu, it's done!" The maid lowered her voice.
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, "Are you sure she was tricked?"
The maid nodded affirmatively.
Xiao Yi raised his feet and was about to leave.
"Brother Yi," Song Zhiqiu couldn't help but worry when he thought about the scandal he had just made, "do you have to be like her...?"
Xiao Yi persuaded her patiently, "For the present, this is the only way. You know, I don't want to, but if she lets others break her body, my father will never allow me to marry her."
He stepped forward and hugged Song Zhiqiu gently, "Good boy Zhiqiu, am I still interested in an ugly guy? Come with me, and when you hear the sound, go find the eldest princess and your mother immediately. Do you understand?" "
This time, they must ensure that nothing goes wrong so that Song Wanqing will no longer have any reason to break off the engagement.
Song Zhiqiu nodded aggrievedly.
Xiao Yi soon met Song Wanqing.
I saw the woman who had just spoken coldly to me, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, looking at me in confusion, obviously she had really been tricked.
In fact, Song Wanqing was a beauty in the past, especially her eyes, which were unique in style.
"Song Wanqing, aren't you very disdainful of me?" Xiao Yi looked at her condescendingly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable now? If you beg me, I will satisfy you!"
