Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 174
Finally, it was the day of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet. Nanny Gu went to serve Zhao Min early and put on the newly made clothes for her a few days ago.

Although Zhao Min was excited, but when it was time to meet the Crown Princess, Zhao Min was still a little nervous, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

This is the crown princess, if nothing happens, she will be the future queen, how can she not be nervous?
"Today, I will go with Miss Zhao to the prince's mansion for a banquet, and you two will stay at the mansion."

Listening to Mammy Gu's arrangement, Qinlan agreed, but Qinmei felt unwilling, as if she wanted to fight for it: "Mother, you are a bit tired by yourself, why don't you let me go too."

Nanny Gu just glanced at her coldly, and Qinmei immediately lowered her head.

"no need. "

Today is going to the Prince's Mansion for a banquet, how could Nanny Gu let Qin Lan and Qin Mei, two ignorant maids, go with her.

Looking at Qinmei with her head down, Mammy Gu felt a little displeased, this is not a peaceful situation.

"What should I do? Sister, what should I say later?"

Seeing Zhao Min's restless state in the carriage, Madam Gu held her hand: "Don't worry, this old slave will always be by Miss Zhao's side, remember the etiquette, and just keep talking less."

Feeling Gu Nanny patted her hand gently, somehow, getting closer and closer to the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Min's nervous mood miraculously calmed down.

At the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Min took the post he had received and entered the Prince's Mansion smoothly.

After entering the mansion, a maid took Zhao Min to the place where the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet was held.

Zhao Min followed the servant girl in a regular manner, walking all the way, looking at the landscape of the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Min couldn't help sighing in his heart, I have to say that the decoration of the Prince's Mansion is really gorgeous.

Soon, Zhao Min was led to a large open space, and there were tables set up on both sides.

At this moment, many girls have come, Zhao Min saw Zheng Yihui at a glance, and the rest of these girls are unknown.

"Miss Zhao, here!"

Seeing that Zheng Yihui would take the initiative to throw an olive branch to herself, Zhao Min didn't hesitate, walked towards her openly, and sat down beside her: "Miss Zheng, we meet again."

Zheng Yihui had a smile on her face: "Yes."

The two of them were whispering among girls, but after a while they wrote, a person came to the table.

Zhao Min looked up, and saw that the visitor was wearing a bright red dress with gold inlays, and a gold belt tied around her waist, showing the woman's graceful figure, her makeup was very delicate, and she wore a Nobile, exquisite but not vulgar.

"Zheng Yihui, who is this sitting next to you? Why have you never seen it before?"

Zhao Min looked at the woman with an arrogant look on her face, looking up and down at herself, that look made her feel quite uncomfortable.

But Zhao Min still stood up, and bowed to her softly: "I'm Zhao Min."

Zheng Yihui also stood up and bowed to her: "See Princess Nine."

This domineering woman is the younger sister of the crown prince's mother, Gu Ruyan, who just passed the age of ji this year, and has a very arrogant temper.

"Zhao Min? This name is so familiar, have you heard of it?"

Princess Jiu looked at the people behind her, and the rest of them looked at each other and shook their heads: "I've never heard of it."

Standing next to her at this time, a woman in a light yellow dress seemed to suddenly think of it: "Zhao Min! Isn't this the woman brought back by that stupid prince?"

"Oh~" The Ninth Princess looked suddenly enlightened, "It turned out to be with a country woman."

After listening to the nine princesses, the people around burst into laughter.

Although Zheng Yihui also wanted to help Zhao Min, but no one in the imperial city knew the temper of the Ninth Princess. If she spoke for Zhao Min at this moment, she would undoubtedly be hitting the south wall and looking for death.

No matter what others say, I don't care, but when she heard Gu Lingqing say that, although Zhao Min didn't know why, she felt very angry. Just when she was about to argue with the nine princesses, she heard a burst of crisp laughter : "What are the sisters doing here?"

When Princess Jiu saw the person coming, a look of surprise flashed across her face, she stepped forward and grabbed her hand: "You are here, how is the fragrance that you promised me a few days ago?"

After the woman blessed the Ninth Princess slightly, she smiled coquettishly: "How dare the daughters neglect the matter that the Ninth Princess explained, it has already been prepared, and it will be placed on the carriage outside at this moment, when the banquet is over , then hand it over to the nine princesses."

Princess Nine was impatient, and when she heard that the incense had been made, she took her hand and walked outside the mansion: "Don't wait until after the banquet, take me now."

"Okay, okay." The woman seemed very helpless, and gave her a look, "You are the only impatient."

The strange thing is that Princess Nine didn't get angry, instead she pulled her out of the mansion very affectionately.

Zhao Min stared at the back of the two leaving, the woman suddenly turned her head and winked mischievously at Zhao Min.

Zhao Min was stunned for a moment, she didn't know who she was, but from her actions, she knew that she had deliberately rescued herself just now.

Seeing that Princess Nine had left, the people around also dispersed one after another, Zhao Min then sat down with Zheng Yihui, bent down beside Zheng Yihui and asked, "Who was that person who talked to Princess Nine just now? "

"She is the most popular woman in the imperial city."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Zhao Min also became interested. Judging from the attitude of the Ninth Princess to her just now, she is indeed very popular.

"She is a famous perfumer, Wang Zimo, whose father is one of the richest merchants in the imperial city, and because of her skill in perfumery, she is very popular among the girls in the imperial city, and they all want to make friends with her."

"Oh." Zhao Min nodded, but he still had doubts in his heart. He didn't know why she helped him out of the siege just now. If he was lucky enough to see her later, he must thank her well.

But after a while, Princess Jiu and Wang Zimo came in from the outside talking and laughing. When passing by Zhao Min, Princess Jiu didn't even look at her, so she dragged Wang Zimo to the place closest to the host. down.

Not long after, a woman dressed in fine clothes was surrounded by the crowd, came to the banquet and sat down on the main seat.

The women below stood up and saluted one after another, Zhao Min also stood up and saluted, presumably this is the Crown Princess.

The crown princess just said some scene words, and then led everyone to the back garden, and entered today's theme - chrysanthemum appreciation.

I have to say that the chrysanthemums in the Prince's Mansion are really worthy of appreciation. I saw that this large garden is full of chrysanthemums, red, pink, white, yellow, and various colors. Rare breed.

"It's so beautiful, why don't we write poetry."

The one proposed by the exit was the woman in the goose-yellow dress beside the Ninth Princess just now.

After hearing her proposal, the princess did not object, and nodded slightly: "Okay."
