Today's birthday banquet was held at Meirenju.
The female family members who came to participate were personally brought to Beauty Residence by someone sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The maid leading their sisters is called Dongxue. She seems to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her eyes are clear and she is clever in doing things. She should be a smart maid.
Also, in the harem, if you don't have a clever mind, you won't be able to survive for long.
"Beautiful Wang knew that many family members came to celebrate her today, so she opened the rooms in the front yard of the Beauty Residence early. If the girls like to enjoy flowers, they can come to these two rooms.
If a few girls like to bask in the sun, go to the room opposite. "
While Dong Xue was patiently explaining, Ye Rou, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, came here with several close friends. When Tao Yanyan saw them, he immediately went over to say hello with a smile.
"Sisters are dressed up very brightly today. I saw you right there."
Ye Rou didn't even look at Tao Yanyan, and the others just glanced at her, and then followed the palace people into the room where they could enjoy the flowers.
When Tao Yun'er saw this, she immediately became anxious, "Do you know that it's a first-come, first-served basis? It's obvious that we came first, how could you rob our house?"
"Who is this?" Liu Sisi from Earl Cheng'en's Palace glanced at Tao Yun'er with disgust. When she saw the cloth on Tao Yun'er's body, she laughed in public, "Come to the palace to attend the birthday banquet of the Queen. You are actually wearing such clothes. It is really embarrassing. None of my servants in the Liu family will wear such fabrics."
Before Tao Yaoyao decided to bring her sisters into the palace, she specially asked someone to prepare clothes and jewelry for them. However, the outfit Tao Yun'er wore today was obviously not something Tao Yaoyao had prepared.
But everyone is free to wear whatever clothes they want, so Tao Yaoyao didn't say anything when she saw him in the morning.
Unexpectedly, Liu Sisi was still a big talker, and she was afraid that others would not know what she was capable of.
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is what my aunt used to get married." Tao Yun'er explained, but Liu Sisi not only didn't stop laughing after hearing this, but actually laughed even louder.
"How old are you this year? Also, what is the information about your aunt when she got married. Do you want to laugh the people here to death? Is an aunt worthy of saying the word "marriage"?
In addition, you don't know how well-off a person who can be a concubine can be. You deserve to be embarrassed when you come out. "
The more Liu Sisi spoke, the more ugly she became. Seeing that the faces of the other concubines in the Tao family were getting more and more ugly, Tao Yaoyao stood up with a smile.
"I didn't know Miss Liu was so eloquent. But Miss Liu, please open your eyes and take a good look at where this place is.
I don’t know if Mrs. Wang heard about this scene, whether she was happy that you were embarrassing our Tao family, or whether she wanted to blame the Liu family for not educating you well. "
Tao Yaoyao is Wang Meiren's savior. It is said that for Wang Meiren's birthday banquet, the invitations for other families were written and distributed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Only the Tao family's invitations were written by Wang Meiren herself and sent by her confidants. .
It can be seen that Tao Yaoyao's weight in Wang Meiren's heart is different from others.
Furthermore, Beauty Wang is His Majesty’s favorite concubine. Your Majesty is hosting this birthday party today just to make Beauty Wang happy. If there is something unscrupulous that makes Beauty Wang unhappy, I’m afraid His Majesty won’t let it go.
A few days ago, she got into trouble at home because of her sharp tongue. If she did it again today... Thinking of this, Liu Sisi reluctantly shut up.
When Tao Yun'er saw this, his expression finally improved, but after what happened just now, he didn't dare to fight for the house again. So he followed Tao Yaoyao obediently to the room opposite.
"Princess Zhaoling is here."
When Tao Yun'er saw her, he immediately greeted the princess. Princess Zhaoling saw Tao Yaoyao and walked in.
She first glanced at the concubines of the Tao family, and then took Tao Yaoyao to the pavilion next to them.
"Why did you bring them all here?"
The Tao family had done so many things to disgrace Tao Yaoyao over the years. How could she help pave the way for these concubines regardless of past grudges? If it were her, she wouldn't be able to be so generous.
"Is there any difference between having one person and four people? Besides, the Tao family cannot be dominated by one person, otherwise people will become wild."
So that's it.
Wen Hanyan turned around and saw Tao Yanyan's livid face, and smiled with satisfaction, "You can only imagine such a damaging move."
"Princess, why are you so fickle? You were the one who said I was kind-hearted just now. Why do you start to dislike me in the blink of an eye? Princess, are we still friends?"
Tao Yaoyao pretended to be aggrieved, and after making a face at Wen Hanyan, they both laughed at the same time.
In the following time, people came one after another, and soon the beauty residence became lively. There was still some time before the banquet started, and Wen Hanyan didn't like the crowd, so he took Tao Yaoyao to a small pond not far away.
It is said that this small pond was specially dug by His Majesty to please the Queen.
Every kind of fish here is priceless, so Wang Meiren specially found a special person to take care of them.
"Let me see what these valuable fish look like."
Wen Hanyan was standing by the pond, throwing bait and talking to the fish in the pond. At this time, the maid next to him accidentally bumped into Wen Hanyan.
Wen Hanyan didn't hold back his strength and sat directly on the ground.
There was a lot of mud beside the pond. When Wen Hanyan sat down, her skirt must have been dirty, so the servants quickly helped her go to the guest room next to her to change clothes.
After Wen Hanyan left, Tao Yaoyao was left alone by the pond.
Tao Yaoyao didn't feel like a scoundrel. Instead, she sat quietly by the pond and was lost in thought while looking at the pond. She didn't even hear anyone coming behind her.
"My wife...hehe, you are my wife..."
A slightly childish voice came over, and when Tao Yaoyao realized something was wrong and turned around to look, she was pushed into the pond from behind.
The pond was not deep, but it was extremely cold in early winter, and Tao Yaoyao fell into it. She was soaked all over, and the cold wind blew again, making her even colder.
"Madam, why did you get into the pond? I'll pull you out."
The child's voice sounded again, and this time Tao Yaoyao looked around cautiously, and soon saw a young man in his early twenties who looked a bit naive behind him.
Who is this? She doesn't remember such a person in Kyoto City.
Forget it, now is not the time to think about this. She is a woman who has not left the government, and now she is soaked and appears here with a man. If someone discovers...
"Zheng'er, what are you doing?"
He was really afraid of what would happen. Just when Tao Yaoyao climbed to the shore and was about to go back to the house to change clothes, the man hugged him from behind.
Then a hurried woman's voice came, and soon the man ran to them and pushed Tao Yaoyao away.
The woman pulled the man with a nervous look on her face. After looking up and down, she made sure he was fine and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Which family are you from? You are so brave. You dare to seduce the heir to the prince's palace. Come here and tie her up for me."
Believe in the prince?
According to legend, Li Zheng, the prince of Prince Xin, who fought on the battlefield at the age of fifteen, wasn't he a young hero praised by everyone? Why is he such a mentally retarded person?
"Yaoyao..."
Princess Xin shouted, and everyone around looked over. Wen Hanyan came out to change clothes and saw this scene. She quickly took off her cloak and ran forward to put it on Tao Yaoyao.
"What's going on?" Wen Hanyan asked Tao Yaoyao in a low voice.
If Tao Yaoyao thought it was just a prank just now, she was now sure that someone was deliberately trying to harm him.
A woman who had not left the court appeared in this pond with a man soaked to the skin. Even if there was no relationship between them, their innocence was lost.
If she doesn't want to die, she can only marry this man.
But three days ago she was the third prince's unmarried fiancée, and just a few days later, she was going to marry a fool. No matter how prominent this person was, or how prosperous he was in the past, it could not change the fact that he was a fool now.
Just for this alone, she would immediately become a joke in Kyoto City.
And here, there should be many people who want to see her jokes.
So for a moment she really couldn't tell who was trying to harm her.
However, she has never been one to accept her fate.
Do you want her to swallow her anger and accept the result? dream.
"Princess Xin, please be patient. The person in front of you is not some cat or dog. That person is the former third prince's concubine, Tao Yaoyao, the eldest daughter of the Tao family."
The speaker was Mrs. Cheng Enbo.
Princess Xin said disdainfully, "I don't care who she is, if she wants to harm my son, she must pay the price."
"Concubine, she didn't harm Zheng'er. It was Zheng'er who saw her falling into the water and wanted to save her, so she got her clothes wet. Concubine, don't be angry."
Although Li Zheng was as smart as a child, he was kind-hearted. He saw something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he told what he saw.
However, no one present wanted to pursue the truth. They just wanted to see Tao Yaoyao's final fate.
"Prince Xin, do you like the girl in front of you?" Madam Liu asked with a smile.
Li Zheng looked at Tao Yaoyao first, and then nodded sheepishly, "She is good-looking, and Zheng'er likes her very much."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu laughed even louder, "How about letting her be your crown princess?"
This time, before Li Zheng could speak, Tao Yaoyao spoke first, "Since when did Mrs. Liu like to be a matchmaker? Since you are so enthusiastic, why not settle the marriage of the young master of the Liu family first?"
The eldest son of the Liu family is twenty-eight this year, but he has never gotten married.
Everything is said outside. This is also Madam Liu's biggest worry. Now that Madam Liu pokes her lungs, she will naturally not show weakness.
After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Liu's expression change.
After Mrs. Liu shut up, Tao Yaoyao turned to look at everyone, "I didn't accidentally fall into the pond just now, but someone pushed me down."
What?
When everyone heard this, they all looked at me and you with surprised expressions.
