Chapter 209 The Lord's Disaster Relief Banquet

"What's the matter with you!" Yao Cunhui was startled, opened his eyes in surprise and said, "Red Polygonum? You?"

"Nothing!" Hong Liao hurriedly blinked to remove the mist in his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "The servant is just worried about Miss, after all Miss San is——, but Miss will definitely have a way to deal with it, right?"

Yao Cunhui smiled slightly, leaned closer to Hongliu and said in a low voice, "It's good that I agreed to take her there, but if she can't go because of her own reasons, then it's not my fault!"

Red Polygonum was stunned, but couldn't help laughing, and the melancholy clouds in his heart disappeared in an instant.

The master and servant looked at each other and smiled.

In front of Mrs. Ma, Yao Cunhui naturally couldn't refuse to agree, otherwise, it would always be an unpleasant thing for Mrs. Ma to do something secretly in the past two or three days.If a momentary negligence allowed her to get her way, and she played tricks on the things she had prepared, causing her to suffer a big loss in the East Palace, it would be even worse.

Although each other knew that they hated each other to death, but the filial piety of mothers and sons on the surface was still needed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the banquet. Yao Cunhui and Yao Cunmei were fully dressed and prepared to board the carriage together.

Yao Cunhui's dress is similar to the last time, still fresh and elegant; Yao Cunmei is much brighter and brighter, with pink embroidered dresses, and flying fairy temples with double ring knots. The beautiful faces around her were also wearing brand-new rose red spring silk beanies and long skirts.

"Second Sister!" Under Ma Shi's watchful eyes, Yao Cunmei reluctantly stepped forward and called Yao Cunhui, her pretty oval face was filled with excitement and a hint of awkwardness.

"Get in the car." Yao Cunhui nodded to her with a smile.

"Go early and come back early, obey the rules, and don't offend the nobles." Madam Ma said with a reserved smile, "Hui'er, take good care of my sister!"

"Mother, don't worry!" Yao Cunhui smiled.

The two sisters sat down in the carriage, Hong Liao gently lowered the carriage curtain, the whip in the driver's hand made a light noise, pulled the reins, shouted, turned the horse's head, and got away.

In the carriage, the two sisters did not speak, and each sat silently.

Yao Cunhui has absolutely no possibility of flattering Yao Cunmei, and Yao Cunmei is not a fuel-efficient lamp who would take the initiative to put down her body and talk to her first, so the two of them had no choice but to spend their time like this.

Red Polygonum poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yao Cunhui, and called softly, "Second Miss."

Yao Cunhui took it with a smile and drank tea by herself.The faint fragrance of tea diffuses in the narrow compartment, refreshing the heart with every trace.

"Miss San, please." Not to be outdone, Xiurong also poured a cup of tea and offered it to Yao Cunmei with both hands.

Yao Cunmei squinted slightly from the corner of her eyes, subconsciously glanced at her sister, and took the tea.

Unexpectedly, the carriage suddenly shook, Xiurong gave a low cry and subconsciously fell on Yao Cunmei, Yao Cunmei was caught off guard, the whole tea bowl was clasped on her body, and it was wet from the front down.

The delicate pink silk was instantly stained with a large amount of tea, and the water was dripping down.

"Ah! Damn girl!" Yao Cunmei had already screamed, while angrily tugging at the front of her clothes, she raised her hand and slapped Xiurong across the face.

"Damn girl, what are you pouring on me!" Yao Cunmei looked at the wet clothes, wanting to kill Xiurong.

"Second Miss?" The carriage stopped, and the coachman asked suspiciously.

"There is something wrong, stop for a while!" Yao Cunhui ordered, frowning: "What should I do, you can't enter the palace with this clothes!"

Xiurong's face was red and swollen, with bright red fingers imprinted on her face, she bit her lips with tears in her eyes and dared not make a sound, she wiped and cleaned Yao Cunmei tremblingly, and carefully removed the tea leaves.

"Get out! Dead slave!" Yao Cunmei pushed her impatiently, her long nails scratched the back of Xiurong's hand, and two bloodstains immediately appeared on the snow-white back of her hand.

Xiurong snorted, subconsciously withdrew her hand.

"Damn girl, I'll tell my mother to sell you when I get back!" Yao Cunmei gave Xiurong a cold look.

Being embarrassed in front of Yao Cunhui was the last thing she could tolerate.What's more, this is on the way to the East Palace for a banquet.

"Third Sister, stop swearing!" Yao Cunhui frowned and said, "What should we do? Time is running out!"

"Old He, turn around and go back home, I want to go back home and change clothes!" Yao Cunmei snorted.

"No," Yao Cunhui said decisively, "Then it's too late!"

"Then what did my sister say?" Yao Cunmei sneered, "I'm afraid it's just what my sister wants?"

Yao Cunmei's heart trembled, and she stared at Yao Cunhui suspiciously.

Without blinking, Yao Cunhui gave her an unreasonable and boring look, got up and got out of the car, and told Lao He, "Take the third lady back!" He beckoned another carriage and drove away.

Yao Cunmei didn't expect that she would throw herself in the carriage so straightforwardly. By the time she realized it, Yao Cunhui had already boarded another carriage with Hong Liao and left.Yao Cunmei was stunned, and slapped Qingxiu's face with her backhand.

"Second miss, my wife is going back to the mansion today, in case my wife blames me—"

Hong Liao glanced anxiously at Yao Cunhui, quite uneasy.

She also didn't expect that Yao Cunhui didn't think of a remedy at all, and just threw Yao Cunmei there.

"It's not bad anyway, don't worry." Yao Cunhui comforted with a smile.

The conflict between Mrs. Ma and her is not too much, and it is not too much. Besides, it is too late to go to a tailor shop to buy clothes and change. When Xiurong ran into Yao Cunmei, she was sitting with Hong Liao. The opposite of Yao Cunmei's master and servant, Yao Cunmei can't rely on her even if she wants to, so what else can Madam Ma say?

Yao Cunhui was lucky, when he got off the carriage outside the palace, he happened to run into Lin Jing, the fourth lady of Honglu Temple Qing's family, this is the boudoir friend she met with Yunzhi back then.

Yao Cunhui didn't expect that Lin Jing still remembered her, the two had met before, and entered the palace together with a smile.

The eunuchs arranged by the Crown Princess greeted the guests at the gate of the Eastern Palace. After handing over the invitations and verifying their integrity, a well-behaved court lady led them to the garden.

Not far away, Yao Cunhui saw Yue'er waiting with a smile, walking towards them calmly.

"I'll go to the garden first, see you later!" Lin Jing and Yao Cunhui smiled at each other and said goodbye.

Yao Cunhui smiled and nodded in response, then took Polygonum Polygonum and followed Yue'er to the Oriole Pavilion.

When the cousins ​​met, they had a lively talk.But Yun Zhi didn't dare to delay too long, dressed up properly, and took Yao Cunhui to Funing Hall together.

Yun Zhi is the side concubine, and the crown princess is driving, so she should naturally serve at the side.

"Prince Princess wants to see you." Yun Zhi said to Yao Cunhui with a smile, and made some comforting words, and Yao Cunhui agreed one by one.

When they arrived at Funing Hall, Yue'er, Xiaoyi, and Marquis Hong Liao were on the porch of the front yard. Yao Cunhui followed Yunzhi, led by the young eunuch of Funing Hall, through the Chaoshou veranda, through the hallway, through the courtyard, and through the double-layered corridor. In the courtyard, Fang came to the main hall of Funing Hall where the Crown Princess lived.

The two were waiting under the corridor of Funing Palace. A court lady had already gone in to report to the Crown Princess. After a while, a round-faced court lady wearing white silk long sleeves, silver-blue half-arms, and a silver-blue dress came out with a smile, and Xiang Yun Zhi Ban bent her knees and said, "Concubine Yun, Miss Yao, please come in, your empress is waiting inside!"

"Thank you, Aunt Shuangxi!" Yun Zhi nodded and smiled at the maid, and turned her head to signal Yao Cunhui to follow.

"The concubine has seen the crown princess, please greet the crown princess!" Entering the hall, Yun Zhi put her hands on her waist, restrained her face, bent her knees and squatted down, and saluted the crown princess in a standard manner.

"Sister is more polite, please sit down!" The princess raised her hand and smiled, her voice was neither slow nor fast, neither soft nor heavy, like flowing water, elegant and calm.

"Thank you, Crown Princess." Yun Zhi thanked her, and Fang slowly got up and sat down on the embroidered pier of the usual sunset seat.

Yao Cunhui was not so cheap, and he knelt down to pay his respects honestly.

The Crown Princess didn't make things difficult for her, she called her up with a smile, looked at her carefully for a moment, then asked a few words with a smile, praised her, and expressed her appreciation for Yao's behavior during the heavy rain in the capital some time ago , and then expressed encouragement, rewarded a pair of jade bracelets as a meeting gift, and ordered him to sit down.

Yao Cunhui took the jade bracelet and thanked her, then sat down on Yun Zhi's side in a proper manner.

Yao Cunhui sneaked a look at the Crown Princess's eyes, perhaps because the makeup was too deep and thick, and the face powder was too thick, which made the Crown Princess look more like a signboard, or a symbol, and the significance of the image was greater than that of the body. Meaning, Yao Cunhui only had the word "dignified" in his mind, but he couldn't find any other words to describe the appearance of the princess.

Dignified, Yao Cunhui couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of her silently moving her hands and feet towards Yun Zhi. He didn't know what kind of sinister, vicious and scheming heart was hidden under this dignified appearance!

Beside the Crown Princess, besides the maids and maids who served, there was also a slim woman slightly older than herself, with beautiful eyes and a radiant complexion, wearing a begonia red embroidered complicated palace dress , bright and beautiful but not ostentatious, with a relaxed expression and a faint smile on his lips and eyebrows.

When Yao Cunhui recognized this person, he was shocked for no reason.

This slender woman is none other than Yao Cunhui, whom Yao Cunhui has met halfway, who is paired with Bai Muyuan, and who is so affectionate with Ning'an Lord Lv Rong!

Yao Cunhui's mind subconsciously popped up a long list of information obtained by Qianshan's investigation and unannounced visits, and he couldn't help feeling sorry for Lu Rong.

Dare to fall in love with Bai Muyuan regardless of her status, no doubt she is a courageous woman who dares to love and hate; but if she falls in love with someone like Bai Muyuan, I'm afraid she is destined to not have a good result!

Judging from the information in Yao Cunhui's hands, Bai Muyuan was clearly just using Lu Rong.

"Look at all of you, you all know how to mess around, and your age is about the same age as Miss Yao, not as many as Miss Yao!"

The Crown Princess cast a sideways glance at Lu Rong, and said with a smile.

"Princess concubine is ridiculous," although Yun Zhi is not from the Yao family, she is Yao Cunhui's own. Hearing what the concubine said, she hastily expressed her humility and smiled.

It's just that Yun Zhi has never been willing to work hard to deal with these people's hearts. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start, so she just laughed and gave up.

　Thanks to Xiye for the monthly pass!
