Yanmenchun

Chapter 27

The Eighth Princess Mansion has been bestowed by the emperor for several years, but the princesses have not yet married and still live in the palace.

This mansion was the eighth princess's birthday a few years ago, and I asked the emperor for it.

The eighth princess is unyielding, and the entire princess mansion is decorated with gold and jade. The banquet is set in the garden, with rare flowers and green onion cages, surrounded by various rare and precious chrysanthemums. There is a huge peony pattern carpet in the middle. Chairman Zhang, there are several guest seats on each side.

But after seeing the full garden of Prince Gong's mansion, these became ordinary.

The eighth princess sat at the front seat, and she didn't invite any of the princes and princesses. The first one on the male table was Qin Wenyu, the eldest son of Prince Ronghua, and the first one on the female table was Princess Baoqing.

This is really a wonderful banquet. Could it be that the eighth princess wants to stage a scene of two women competing for a man with Princess Baoqing?It also depends on whether Princess Baoqing will take on one of the roles.

Princess Baoqing noticed that Shen Tuchan was looking at her, and turned her head to meet Shen Tuchan's gaze.

Shen Tuchan's seat is still next to Zheng Cuicui's. The title of the Zhenbeihou Mansion is one level lower than that of the Ming Dynasty Duke's Mansion, but the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion has meritorious service. Well, it's not a new thing to be here with Miss Hou's Mansion.

Zheng Cuicui looked superior today, seeing Shen Tuchan sitting down, he looked at his nose and eyes, and ignored Shen Tuchan.

This is really fresh.

Huo Xiangxiang's family did not have a title, and they were still in the middle of a group of noble girls a little behind. Shen Tuchan toasted her from afar.

Over there, the eighth princess entered the table with the support of the maid, and everyone stood up to salute. Qin Wenyu and Princess Baoqing both stood up and shouted, but they didn't even do the salute. Even if she neglected a little, she could only swallow her anger.

As soon as the eighth princess sat down, she said: "The son of Qin has not had a good gathering with us since he came to the capital. He grew up together in the middle of the capital. It has been a long time since we have seen each other. I will offer you a cup first!"

Qin Wenyu wore white clothes today, wearing a sapphire crown, gentle and elegant, like a banished fairy, when he heard the words of the eighth princess, he showed an almost ambiguous smile, raised his wine glass and said to the eighth princess: "I haven't seen a princess with a more beautiful appearance than before. "

Princess Baoqing sneered slightly: "Sister Bahuang, so you are so familiar with Prince Qin! I heard that Prince Qin is capable of both civil and military skills, and has talents among the crowd. Since this is the case, it just so happens that Sister Bahuang has reached the age of recruiting a son-in-law. , the so-called marriage of thousands of miles is linked by a thread, don't miss it!"

The eighth princess had always loved Qin Wenyu, and Princess Baoqing's words touched her heart, but Princess Baoqing's words for her made her feel uncomfortable. She felt that Princess Baoqing was mocking her and Qin Wenyu.

Hearing these words, Qin Wenyu suppressed the smile on his face, his eyes rolled around for a while, and countless noble ladies sat down blushed. How could the noble ladies think about Qin Wenyu's temper and how many concubines they had? Now that I can see his face, who can not love the beautiful things in the world.

Qin Wenyu's eyes finally fell on Princess Baoqing's face: "The princess said this, is it jealous?"

Princess Baoqing is not easy to mess with either, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, you are too worried. I have always looked down on talented people with both civil and military skills. As long as your Majesty treats Sister Bahuang well, you don't have to worry about me."

The eighth princess had a bad face, and the courageous lady next to her got up to toast her, and this topic was brought to the fore.

When the wine was half drunk, the eighth princess suddenly said: "Miss Shentu, why don't you drink? You don't see tea, what's wrong? It doesn't suit your taste?"

The maid held the pot of wine for this banquet. Shen Tuchan noticed this as soon as she came in. She hadn't touched a drop of water since she sat down, and she only dipped the wine glass symbolically when she toasted Huo Xiangxiang just now.

Shen Tuchan smiled and said sincerely: "It's very palatable, the princess is precious, and she can pay attention to the minister's daughter, the minister's daughter is very grateful." After speaking, he raised his glass and drank it down.

This doesn't sound like flattery, Princess Eight sneered and said, "It's good that Miss Shentu knows."

It's good that the eighth princess didn't target Shen Tuchan. When she said this, Princess Baoqing's heart skipped a beat, thinking that there was something in the drink.

She got up and said: "Sister Bahuang, I'm going to change clothes, let's make some mistakes first, Miss Shentu will come with me."

The eighth princess looked at Shen Tuchan and nodded, and said: "Hurry up and come back."

After walking out of the garden, Princess Baoqing asked, "Is there anything in the wine?"

Shen Tuchan took out the half-soaked handkerchief and sniffed it: "I don't know, it just feels wrong, there is no entrance, it fell on the sleeve, and some got on the handkerchief, after the banquet, go back Test it and you'll know."

Because the two wanted to talk, they didn't let the maid of the princess mansion take them with them, but only brought the maid of Princess Baoqing. Before they reached the court room, a little eunuch ran over to stop Princess Baoqing, and the two looked at each other. glance.

The little eunuch looked only in his teens, with delicate features, knelt in front of Princess Baoqing and said, "Princess, our son is here to discuss something important with you."

Shizi?

Princess Baoqing's expression turned serious: "Who is your son?"

The little eunuch looked frank: "Young son of Ronghua County, he said he knew you didn't want to marry him, but he has something to tell you!"

Princess Baoqing suddenly became a little uncertain, she couldn't help whispering to Shen Tuchan: "Could it be that Prince Qin is really looking for me for something?"

Shen Tuchan glanced at the little eunuch with a half-smile and said to Princess Baoqing: "Princess, go and have a look."

Princess Baoqing hesitated, looked around, there was no one here, there were flowers next to it, and behind the flowers was a lake in the garden, no matter how you looked at it, it was not a safe place.

Shen Tuchan pushed her with a smile and said: "Princess, go quickly, don't worry about me, I'll wait for you here."

Princess Baoqing took the servant girl and walked away step by step.

Shen Tuchan was left alone for only a moment, she turned around abruptly, and an eunuch who was about to rush forward was knocked to the ground by her kick.

The eunuch seemed to know that she had some martial arts foundation, so he turned over and stood on the ground again.

It was only then that Shen Tuchan saw his appearance clearly. He was in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance. He was a face that would not be noticed when he mixed in with the crowd.

He didn't say a word, he raised his fist and charged forward, Shen Tuchan was not afraid of him, he just took out a very thin iron whip from his bosom.

The whip was about two feet long, thinner than the bracelet on Shen Tuchan's hand, it was made of fine iron, and it shone silver in the sunlight.

The eunuch didn't seem to expect that a lady like her would bring a weapon to the banquet, and suddenly there was an opening in his hands, and the whip was very painful on the skin, as long as it was wiped off, it would bleed.

This whip was given to Shen Tuchan by Kou Wuniang. Shen Tuchan practiced kung fu with her recently. She had a weapon in her hand when she was making rapid progress. This eunuch was no match for her, but she was restrained by Shen Tuchan in just a few moves.

He was already flustered at this moment, with the thin iron whip wrapped around his neck, Shen Tuchan asked in a low voice, "Where is Miss Zheng? I'll let you go after I tell you."

The eunuch faltered twice, and Shen Tuchan tightened his whip, so he quickly pointed to the wing not far away: "Over there. Over there, miss, please forgive me."

Shen Tuchan knocked him unconscious with a stone before he finished speaking. Just now, when Princess Baoqing was called away, she thought this place was the best place to push people into the water, but there was a ready-made one in a while.

Shen Tuchan dragged the eunuch to the edge of the lake, and pushed it directly into the lake under the cover of the jungle.

She looked at the slowly calming water flower and said, "If you want to blame it, blame your master."
