A gloomy look flashed across Ye Chonghua's face. He had never seen how Ouyang Wu would repay him. He just didn't like talking about this with Yun Shang. He glared at him fiercely: "Have you been too idle recently?"
Ye Chonghua paused for a moment, looked up at Yun Shang and said calmly: "After you left that day, Wu'er said that she had recently developed a new medicine. Perhaps you are interested in trying it?"
Yun Shang was choked by a mouthful of water this time. Although Ouyang Wu looked gentle and polite, sometimes the medicine she developed was extremely poisonous. Ye Chonghua kept his word, and he didn't want to become a medicine man. Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up: "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I'll leave first!"
In just a flash, Yun Shang had already rushed to the door and disappeared. Ye Chonghua smiled helplessly and continued to be busy with official duties. Recently, there was a drought in the south, and it was not peaceful. He had a lot of things to deal with. Sometimes he was so busy that he could not see Ouyang Wu for a whole day and night. He could only come to see her after Ouyang Wu fell asleep.
Ouyang Wu was never a lonely and empty person. She had many ways to entertain herself. Ning Wang's garden was very big, especially there was a pavilion in the garden for shade. She moved a chaise longue and took a few books about this continent from the study and read them slowly. She was reading with relish when she heard the voice of Xiao Qilin complaining in her mind: "Master, don't read these boring books, come and play with me!" Ouyang Wu ignored him and let him act coquettishly and roll around, focusing only on the books in his hands. But the little Qilin was not giving up: "Master~Master~Master! Master!" Ouyang Wu finally got annoyed, put down the book, and said silently: "What do you want to do?" The little Qilin, who was throwing a tantrum on the ground, saw that Ouyang Wu finally paid attention to it, so he jumped up, stretched out his claws, and said excitedly: "Let's play rock, scissors, paper!"
As he said that, he took one of his claws and stretched it slightly. Ouyang Wu glanced at the little Qilin's claws and said: "Tell me, what is the difference between your rock, scissors, and paper?" The little Qilin put his claws in front of his eyes and tried them one by one. Rock... claws, scissors... claws, paper... claws... The little Qilin looked at his claws and was very frustrated. He walked back to his little tent slowly with his head down. Ouyang Wu looked at the little Qilin and couldn't help but said to its back: "Little Qilin, I'll play with you, no matter what, I'll win."
"Master, you're so annoying!" The little Qilin shouted at Ouyang Wu from a distance, and then ran back quickly.
Ouyang Wu was in a good mood for a while. It turned out that bullying the little Qilin was so fun. Ouyang Wu's lips were still slightly raised, and suddenly she felt someone behind her gently hugged her in his arms: "What's so funny?" Ouyang Wu raised her head slightly, and saw Ye Chonghua looking down at her, his deep eyes like a whirlpool, as if he would be sucked in if he wasn't careful. Ye Chonghua looked at Ouyang Wu's rare and slightly dull expression, and found it very funny, so he couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Ouyang Wu's face, only to feel smooth and delicate, and looked at Ouyang Wu carefully again, and nodded with satisfaction. Ouyang Wu was confused by Ye Chonghua's actions. She tilted her head back slightly and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?" Ye Chonghua walked in front of Ouyang Wu and said with a smile, "Wu'er seems to look more beautiful in the past two days. I guess the blood swallow has a good effect, but she is still too thin."
Ouyang Wu looked at Ye Chonghua with contempt and said arrogantly, "What blood swallow? What does my natural beauty have to do with blood swallow?"
Ye Chonghua's smiling face suddenly became gloomy when he heard this. He looked at Ouyang Wu and said, "You haven't taken blood swallow recently?" Ouyang Wu looked at a loss: "I don't know, but I have eaten fungus and lotus seed soup several times."
Before Ouyang Wu could react, she saw Ye Chonghua turned around and walked out with a gloomy face, his steps were hurried and heavy.
Ouyang Wu looked at Ye Chonghua's back and thought carefully. She had already come to a conclusion in her mind. It must be that the blood swallow that Ye Chonghua asked someone to send her was stolen.
In a corner of the kitchen, a clay pot was steaming. A maid was squatting in front of the pot, watching the fire carefully, and occasionally lifting the lid to see if it was ready. After half an hour, the bird's nest in the pot was already cooked, so she extinguished the fire in the stove, took the clay pot down and put it aside, took a bowl and scooped a bowl from it. She looked up and saw that the door was open, so she put down the bowl in her hand, walked to the door quickly, looked outside, turned around and closed the door. The maid picked up the bowl that had just been put down, took the soup spoon, scooped a mouthful and slowly put it into her mouth, chewed it slightly, squinted her eyes and looked very enjoyable, suddenly as if she remembered something, put down the bowl and spoon, took out a mirror from her bosom, looked at her face from left to right, and her face was very satisfied. After looking at it, she put the mirror back into her bosom, picked up the bowl and spoon and continued to eat. Just as she was eating, she heard a voice asking, "How does it taste?" The maid was startled by the voice, and the bowl and spoon in her hand fell to the ground. She looked up in surprise and saw that the door had been opened at some point, and there was a person standing in the door, his face hidden in the shadow, exuding a kind of coldness. The maid looked at the person in front of her, and the voice just now already knew who was in front of her. In panic, she immediately knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty!" Ye Chonghua looked at the blood swallows scattered on the ground, his lips became colder, and he shouted in a low voice, "Someone come."
As soon as the voice fell, a man in black clothes came out and stood on one side. Ye Chonghua looked at the maid and said, "Don't you want to eat? Go and feed her clean." Hearing this, the man in black clothes flashed to the maid, grabbed her hair and pressed her straight to the ground. The broken porcelain pieces on the ground either pierced into her hands and body, or scratched her face, leaving a deep cut on her face. Ye Chonghua stood in front of her in a black suit, his dark eyes as cold as a pond, his nose high, his light pink lips pursed into a line: "I didn't expect that there would be such a dishonest person in my Ning Wang Mansion, who even secretly took the princess's blood swallow."
"Take him out and give him a hundred lashes!" A hundred lashes, how severe is the one hundred lashes in Ning Wang Mansion? It is estimated that he will die before he gets a full one hundred lashes.
The girl's face was ashen, and she was shaking violently because of panic. She didn't care about the blood on her face and hands: "Prince, spare me, Prince, spare me!"
Ye Zhonghua said coldly: "Take him away!"
"Spare me, Prince, spare me, Prince, it was the Queen, it was the Queen who ordered me to do this!"
Ye Zhonghua narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be more and more angry and said: "Don't talk nonsense! How can the Queen care about the affairs of my Ning Wang Mansion!"
"It's true, it's true!" The girl kowtowed heavily, as if to promise something, "The Queen asked me to put drugs in the blood swallow..."
"Then what?"
"Then I, my maidservant, secretly tasted the blood swallow and found it delicious... so I ate it all. I, my maidservant, saved the princess' life. Please forgive me, my lord."
"What a maidservant who lies all the time. She even made up stories about the queen!" Ye Chonghua looked at the embarrassed maidservant on the ground. The queen actually wanted to drug Wu'er and even dared to bribe the maidservants in his house. He smiled coldly, with an indescribable feminine charm in his eyes: "Call Gu Lao Da and tell him to make the bird's nest into the same shape as the bird's nest. Let all the servants in the house watch."
Gu Lao Da!
He was a butcher before. He was a first-class knife worker in slicing meat and a master at execution. When he executed, his movements were elegant and focused, but the person being executed could be forced to the most desperate point and watch his flesh being cut off piece by piece.
The maid naturally knew Gu Lao Da. When she heard the name, her lips turned pale, her mouth could not speak, her hands could not move, and then she finally couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
This incident did not reach Ouyang Wu's ears, but Ouyang Wu recently found that the servants in the mansion looked at her with fear. She couldn't help but be curious and glanced at Zhu Lu, but saw that she was hesitant to speak.
Zhulu used a toothpick to pick a piece of yellow peach for Ouyang Wu. Ouyang Wu took it and tasted it slowly. The fruit fragrance filled her whole cavity. She said, "Zhulu, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Zhulu saw Ouyang Wu asking, hesitated, and said, "Princess, a few days ago, a maid in the mansion stole your bird's nest and framed the queen for it. The prince was furious and asked Gu Lao to cut her into shreds.
The prince also asked all of us to watch from below, so now everyone is afraid of doing something wrong and angering the princess."
Zhulu shuddered as she spoke, as if she was a little scared. Ouyang Wu heard this and said indifferently: "Old Master?" Zhu Lu quickly explained: "Old Master was invited by the prince to the palace to punish those who did something wrong." "Oh." Ouyang Wu nodded indifferently, but she could think that a maid might not have such courage. There must be someone who instructed her, and the person who instructed her was the queen. She was not curious at all.
But one of her spies was killed by Ye Chonghua like this, and she would definitely not be willing. Sure enough, the queen came to invite her soon. Zhu Lu hurriedly ran in, and when she saw Ouyang Wu, she said anxiously: "Princess, the palace has received an imperial decree, asking you to go to the palace immediately!" "Oh?" Her lips curled up slightly: "Then prepare the sedan chair."
The Queen's Palace
The queen's beautiful eyes flashed with a ferocious light, and her face showed a ferocious expression, almost tearing apart her beautiful face. The armor inlaid with gems scratched on the table. This idiot wanted to drag himself down before he died! Now it's good, giving Ye Chonghua an excuse to cut her into pieces. Good, very good! Such cruel methods are not just for himself.
The queen threw the teacup in her hand on the table with a snap, and was extremely angry: "Extremely vicious!"
As soon as the voice fell, the servant outside reported: "My queen, the second princess has arrived."
The queen took a deep breath, and the haze on her face quickly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
The queen signaled the maid next to her to retreat, and said coldly: "Let her in." When Ouyang Wu slowly walked in, she saw the queen sitting in front of her holding a teacup and drinking tea by herself. Ouyang Wu raised her lips slightly, walked forward slowly, bowed slightly, opened her lips and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen." The Queen opened the lid of the cup, blew gently on the cup, took a sip from the edge of the cup, and then slowly put the cup on the table. She raised her hand slightly, looked at her cardamom-painted nails, and said casually, "This woman, after getting married, should be virtuous and manage the household, support her husband and raise her children. If she makes the family restless, how should such a woman deal with it?" Ouyang Wu's face was not moved when she heard this. She raised her head calmly, looked at the Queen and said slowly, "Wu'er is still young and has just married into the family. She doesn't know. I wonder what the Queen thinks?" The anger that the Queen had been trying to suppress in her heart arose spontaneously. She summoned Ouyang Wu into the palace today just to intimidate her and suppress her. But now Ouyang Wu looked calm, without any fear. The queen's eyes could not help but show murderous intent. It was difficult for her to control such a woman, and she would even cause trouble for herself.
The queen sneered: "Women should be responsible, restrain themselves and observe etiquette. Don't use cruel and vicious means for trivial matters. Such a vicious heart is really chilling." Ouyang Wu knew that the queen was criticizing her, so she didn't say anything. Ouyang Wu lowered her head and looked at her toes. The little unicorn in his mind laughed: "Master, this old woman is so annoying, she talks so much!"
Ouyang Wu said with her mind: "I think so too, I hate her so much!"
Ouyang Wu was ready to continue to be mentally abused. At this time, someone outside the door reported: "Your Majesty, the fourth imperial concubine wants to see you." The queen's expression eased a lot when she heard it, and she said to the outside: "Announce." After a while, Li Yunfei, wearing a light yellow long gown, walked slowly from outside. She was swaying and her skirt didn't even flutter. When Li Yunfei came in and saw Ouyang Wu standing in front of the queen, a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. However, Li Yunfei hated Ouyang Wu so much that she ignored her and pretended not to see her. She bowed in front of the queen and said softly, "Meet mother." The queen immediately reached out to help Li Yunfei up and smiled gently, "Why did Yunfei think of coming to see mother today?" Li Yunfei slowly stood up with the queen's hand, as if she was acting coquettishly, "Yunfei missed mother."
"Where's Feixi?"
"I was going to come with Feixi, but Feixi was busy helping the emperor deal with government affairs." The queen smiled after hearing this, thinking of her son, with some pride in the corners of her eyes. She stroked Li Yunfei's hand and said, "It's hard for you. You can't let Feixi spend more time with you during your wedding."
"Why do you say that, mother? Feixi is concerned about national affairs. How can he always be entangled in love? Yunfei will be satisfied if he can take time to accompany her and eat some snacks made by her." Li Yunfei said obediently with a smile on her face. She knew how to please the queen.
Sure enough, the queen's face was full of joy. She held Yunfei's hand and nodded repeatedly: "Yunfei is really considerate. Feixi is really blessed to marry you in his previous life."
After saying this, she glanced at Ouyang Wu, her face slightly cold, and continued: "This woman should be like Yunfei, generous, gentle and steady, and most importantly, she should be able to manage the household and be considerate of her husband. Instead of blindly sowing discord, beating and killing..." Li Yunfei listened to the queen's praise, her face was very shy, and she said: "Thank you for the compliment, mother." After saying this, she looked up at Ouyang Wu who had been standing aside, with a very proud look.Ouyang Wu listened to the queen and Li Yunfei singing the same tune, and she understood in her heart. Seeing the queen's contemptuous eyes and Li Yunfei's proud look, she pretended not to know, and her face was calm. The Queen took Li Yunfei and sat down. She looked at the two of them and seemed to be thinking for a while. She said, "It's a good thing that you two are here today. Some beauties were sent as tribute from the east a few days ago. The princes don't have many close friends around them. Now I will take charge and take the two back to the princes."
Ouyang Wu's eyes turned cold. Not to mention that the Queen had sent a maid to her before, now she even took care of her household affairs. She bowed to the Queen and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but Chonghua has to make the decision on this matter." The Queen frowned slightly, and her voice became colder and sharper: "Are all the words I just said to you in vain? Women should think about men. It is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. Women must not be jealous. You can decide on women's matters yourself. How can a man worry about these things? Besides, every prince has one in his mansion. What does he have to disagree with?" Li Yunfei's face turned pale when she heard this. She had been married to Ye Feixi for a few days, and Ye Feixi always mocked her coldly for having someone else in her heart. The relationship between the two was not very good. If another woman moved into the palace now, who knows how to repair the rift between them. She wanted to refuse, but when she looked up at the Queen's hopeful look, she dared not say those words of refusal.
She gritted her teeth, bowed to the queen, and said, "Yunfei thanks mother on behalf of Feixi." The queen's lips curled up, and a deep smile appeared on her flawless makeup. She nodded: "This is the model of a virtuous wife." These beauties from the east gave the queen a headache. She was afraid that these women would snatch the emperor's love, but now this problem has been solved. Whether Ouyang Wu is willing or not today, these beauties must be sent to her. If Ouyang Wu is unwilling, she will put all the titles on her. The queen's eyes were indifferent: "Second Princess, how do you feel now?" Ouyang Wu lowered her head, hiding the irony at the corner of her lips, and said indifferently: "Since it is the queen's gift, Wu'er will take it back." But what will happen if she takes it back, she doesn't know. The queen looked at Ouyang Wu like this, with a triumphant look on her face. Since Ouyang Wu came to Xiling Kingdom, there have been constant disturbances, so she had no time to reach out to deal with Ye Chonghua. The previous spies were cut into pieces, so now she sent two beauties in. Ouyang Wu had dinner in the Queen's Palace before leaving. She felt that her ears could not bear it. She thought that the Queen must have been out of favor for many years and was too lonely. She kept talking about people when she saw them. After dinner, Ouyang Wu finally got the Queen's order to leave, and her ears were finally quiet. She thought that once the three-month appointment was over, she must run away. If nothing else, she would grow calluses on her ears after seeing the Queen a few more times. Zhu Lu waited anxiously outside the palace gate, listening all the time, afraid that Ouyang Wu had an accident, and she would immediately find Ye Chonghua to rescue her. It was not until noon, when the sun was shining, that she finally saw Ouyang Wu walking out, followed by two women in flowing clothes, with skin as white as cream and eyebrows as beautiful as paintings, who were top beauties. The beauties had thin shoulders and waists, and were tall and slender. One wore a light green silk dress, with handsome eyes and fine eyebrows, and looked around with a spirit. The other wore a violet long dress with white plums embroidered on it, and her figure was like a willow, with a timid look. Zhulu looked at the two beauties following behind Ouyang Wu, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, so she looked at Ouyang Wu hard. Ouyang Wu saw Zhulu and just smiled casually: "Let's go." Zhulu raised her hand to signal the sedan chair not far away to come closer, but Ouyang Wu said at this time: "No need, I suddenly want to take a walk, why don't we go together." Ouyang Wu turned around and looked at the two beauties behind him: "Do you mind, my two sisters?" The two beauties looked at each other, with a look of panic: "I dare not!" Ouyang Wu walked forward, and the two beauties behind him looked very surprised, but seeing that Ouyang Wu had already walked away, they could only follow helplessly.
The distance from the palace to Prince Ning's mansion was not too far, and it only took half an hour to get there. But Ouyang Wu deliberately took a long detour, and she still hadn't arrived after an hour and a half. Ouyang Wu was a martial artist, and her steps were swift, but the two beauties only played the piano and danced in the past, and their feet were very delicate. They had never walked such a long way. Ouyang Wu walked fast, and they almost had to jog to keep up with her. After walking for a long time, their feet were worn out and painful, and their faces were covered with sweat, and their faces were pale. Zhu Lu followed Ouyang Wu with a little breathlessness, and looked at her refreshed face and whispered: "Princess, you did it on purpose?"
"Oh?" Ouyang Wu glanced at Zhu Lu with a smile.
Zhu Lu laughed and said, "Princess, in fact, their hair is messy and their makeup is blurry. How about we go back to the mansion?"
"Is it because you can't walk anymore?"
"Well, I dare not. How about we take a longer detour?"
"No need, let's go back." Ouyang Wu returned to the mansion with a smile on her face. When she turned around, she saw the two beauties wiping the sweat off their faces with handkerchiefs, looking very embarrassed.
Zhu Lu looked at the two beauties and found that they were no longer as graceful as she had seen before? Well, Princess, you are really amazing! Ouyang Wu walked for a while and felt thirsty. Seeing a pot of tea on the stone table in the distance, she walked over to pour herself a cup. When she raised her head again, she met Ye Chonghua's bright eyes. He seemed to have just returned, and the dark court dress on his body had not been taken off, which made him look even more arrogant and unruly. However, when he met her eyes, a slight arc appeared on his lips. After seeing him, Ouyang Wu was inexplicably angry, and she herself did not understand this anger. She put down the cup and turned away. Ye Chonghua looked puzzled. He wanted to have a good talk with her, but why did she get angry? Ye Chonghua was not someone who could be ignored. He reached out to stop Ouyang Wu, took her into his arms, and said with a smile: "Who made Wu'er angry?" Ouyang Wu thought that there were many people in the yard, and it was inappropriate for him to hug her like this. She pushed him away, deliberately showing a bright smile, and said to Ye Chonghua: "Here, this is the beauty that the Queen Mother gave you, so you should cherish it." The two beauties saw that the Ning Wang they were about to serve was standing in front of them. He was more handsome than they had imagined, especially the evil smile that just appeared at the corner of his lips was even more intoxicating. They were daughters of poor families before, and were offered to the royal family because of their beauty. Now seeing that His Royal Highness Ning Wang was so handsome, their hearts were filled with sweetness. They quickly straightened their clothes and combed their messy hair, looked at Ye Chonghua shyly, and called out softly, "Your Highness."
"I am Hua Qiao."
"I am Xiao Xiao, and I meet you, Your Highness." The voice was extremely sweet, and it was accompanied by a bit of a smile. Ye Chonghua then realized that two strange women had appeared in the yard without knowing when. He was still smiling, but his eyes were indifferent. Then a look colder than ice climbed onto his cheeks, and his jade-like face looked arrogant and sinister. He looked extremely terrifying, and the two beauties froze for a moment, their faces twisted and ridiculous. Ye Chonghua's lips curved slightly, and he sneered, "They are indeed two beauties. We just happen to be short of two beauties in our mansion."
Ouyang Wu paused, and a sour taste filled his heart.
The two beauties were delighted when they heard Ye Chonghua's comments, but they didn't expect Ye Chonghua to say casually: "The guards of our Ning Wangfu are loyal, but they have not married yet. Well, I think you are very suitable."
The taste of going from heaven to hell is just like this. After hearing Ye Chonghua's words, the two beauties' faces turned pale. The woman in the violet dress grabbed Ouyang Wu's skirt and said: "Princess, the Queen asked us to serve the prince. We don't ask for status, we only ask..."
Ouyang Wu thought to herself that the way women who want to stay with men speak is indeed the same. Before she spoke, she heard Ye Chonghua say: "What? Dare to question the king's decision? Are you sure? Do you think it is unfair for you to marry my guards?"
"If you don't want to, I will send you to the manor."
The two beauties had never heard of where the manor was, but after hearing Ye Chonghua's eerie tone, they dared not do anything else and said, "Of course I am willing."
"Oh? If you are willing, then get up." Ye Chonghua sent someone to call the two guards at the door and granted them marriage on the spot. The two guards at the door seemed to be unbelievable when they heard Ye Chonghua's words. They were a pair of twins who had not married yet because of their ugly appearance. At this moment, their faces were full of surprise. They knelt down together and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The voice was loud and well-trained. If the two beauties had some hope in their hearts before they came, they were already desperate at this time. They sat on the ground with limp legs, their faces were dull, and they could no longer say a word. Ouyang Wu walked slowly. She had just heard what Ye Chonghua said behind her. She felt inexplicably relieved. After Ye Chonghua told the two beauties, he chased to her side and said casually, "Wu'er, did you feel a very sour smell today?"
Ouyang Wu snorted and looked away: "No, I guess the prince's nose suddenly had problems."
Ye Chonghua laughed softly and half-huggled her body: "What? Wu'er is still not satisfied with my decision?"
Ouyang Wu joked: "It's really a blessing to be a guard in Ning Wangfu, with such a beauty as a companion."
Ye Chonghua laughed even harder, and after a while said: "Indeed, my father and the queen rewarded beauties every now and then, and it just so happens that the guards in my mansion are all unmarried. Isn't this just right?"
Ouyang Wu turned around and smiled: "No wonder the guards in the mansion are so loyal to you!"
Ye Chonghua could only look at Ouyang Wu and smile helplessly, and walked slowly with Ouyang Wu on the path.
"Hey, if even the guards in the palace are married by then, how will you deal with these beauties?"
"How about this? I will build a pavilion specifically for beauties and lock them all up?"
"And then enjoy them?"
Ye Chonghua burst out laughing, looking at Ouyang Wu face to face, pressing his forehead against hers, looking into her eyes: "Wu'er, what can I say to you? This king only wants to enjoy you now, are you willing?"
Ouyang Wu was speechless, enjoy, enjoy your sister! Her face slowly turned red, and she wanted to retreat, but Ye Chonghua didn't allow it. His hands were like iron clamps, holding her waist tightly against him.
Ouyang Wu moved and sighed softly, how nice it would be if you were just an ordinary person.
The queen thought that these two beauties would cause trouble in the Ning Wang Mansion, but nothing happened, as if a fist hit cotton. At this moment, Li Gong entered the palace: "Queen!"
"What's wrong, Gong'er?" The queen used to like this nephew very much, and was also kind to him, speaking slowly.
Li Gong originally went to the Queen to seek justice for Li Yunfei. Before, the Queen had rewarded Ye Feixi with two women. These two women stirred up trouble in the mansion, causing Li Yunfei, the legitimate imperial concubine, to suffer a lot of grievances. Now she was so angry that she returned to her parents' home. He wanted the Queen to take back her order, but then he thought that the Queen was just trying to make Ouyang Wu suffer.
In the end, all this was caused by Ouyang Wu!
He frowned: "Queen, Yunfei has been unwell these days and can't come to pay respects to the Queen."
"Hey, Yunfei is unwell, I will send the imperial physician to see her later."
Li Gong gritted his teeth: "It's all because of Ouyang Wu!"
"Oh?"
"Gong'er has a plan here that will definitely make Ouyang Wu lose face!"
The Queen saw Li Gong's determination and her eyes lit up!
Ouyang Wu received an invitation from the Li family. Li Xianyao was celebrating his 50th birthday and was going to host a banquet. Ouyang Wu glanced at the invitation and threw it aside. Banquets were the most annoying thing.
Ye Chonghua had just finished his work and came over. He saw Ouyang Wu lazily leaning on the beauty couch. Next to her was a gold-plated invitation. He glanced at it and smiled, "Why, don't you want to go?"
"I don't want to go." Ouyang Wu told the truth, "It's troublesome."
Ye Chonghua said indifferently, "If you don't want to go, then don't go."
Ouyang Wu lazily opened her eyelids, "How can I say I won't go? The Queen is here in person. If I don't go, I won't give the Queen face."
"As long as you are happy, I'm here." Ye Chonghua looked at her eyes with pampering.
Ouyang Wu couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that the Li Mansion is luxurious and the food is exquisite. I'd better go and see it."
"I'll go with you."
"Oh, I'm going to meet a lot of annoying people again."
Li Xianyao is the Queen's brother. He is in a high position. On his 50th birthday, countless people came to visit, almost breaking the threshold of the Li family. However, the Queen is in charge of the situation today, and not everyone is allowed to come in.
Ouyang Wu is now the daughter-in-law of the royal family. Her words and deeds are related to the face of the royal family. Therefore, she deliberately dressed up before coming, for Ye Chonghua and for herself. Because the male and female guests are separated, they separated when they entered the Li Mansion. Ye Chonghua lifted the hair beside her ear and put it behind her ear: "If you are bored, let Zhulu come to me and I will take you back."
"Okay." Ye Chonghua's cold fingertips inadvertently slid across Ouyang Wu's face, and she blushed involuntarily.
After dressing up, Ouyang Wu became more stunning. She was wearing a pink and white slim dress with a red silk ribbon inlaid with gemstones tied around her waist, which made her look more pure and elegant. Her red lips were light red, and her bright red cherry lips were slightly pursed. Her lips were shining like honey, and her phoenix eyes were as clear as autumn water and as bright as stars. She stood on the ground elegantly, like a fairy in a painting walking out of the wall, attracting everyone's attention in an instant.
Ouyang Wu had sharp ears and eyes, and vaguely heard someone say, "Is this the Ning Wangfei? Why is she different from the legend? She looks very beautiful!"
"Of course, otherwise why would Ning Wang offer six cities to marry her."
"Ning Wangfei must have something extraordinary, otherwise why would Ning Wang give up Princess Yaohua and marry Ning Wangfei? I heard that Princess Yaohua is also an absolute beauty, with a beautiful face, like a fairy from heaven."
"Keep your voice down, Ning Wangfei is looking here!"
Ouyang Wu's lips curled slightly. Now, no matter where she goes, there are many gossips waiting for her.
Before Ouyang Wu sat down, Li Yunfei had already come to greet her. Ouyang Wu also vaguely heard that Ye Feixi and Li Yunfei had a bad relationship recently, mainly because of the two women sent by the Queen. It is said that Li Yunfei was so angry that she returned to the Li Mansion.
I don't know if this counts as killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of my own. Ouyang Wu's smile brightened. But now seeing Li Yunfei dressed up charmingly, her eyes were bright and her complexion looked good. I guess she has come out of this haze. Li Yunfei smiled at me, and Ouyang Wu responded with a smile.
"Second sister-in-law, please sit here." In front of others, Li Yunfei pretended to be very familiar with Ouyang Wu. She took Ouyang Wu's arm and brought her to her table.
When everyone in the hall saw this scene, they all showed some understanding on their faces. I guess the third lady of the Li family had a very good relationship with Ouyang Wu. They got married on the same day and now they are as close as sisters. Li Yunfei poured tea for Ouyang Wu and said with a smile: "I heard that my second sister-in-law was tired recently. I thought you wouldn't come?"
Since you want to act, I will act with you. Ouyang Wu held Li Yunfei's hand and said softly: "My sister and I are so destined. Today is Lord Li's 50th birthday. How can I not come?"
Li Yunfei smiled sweetly: "Father likes the jade Guanyin sent by King Ning very much. The texture is pure, the jade color is warm, and the patina is rich. Let's not talk about the mold first, just Just such exquisite carving, powerful carving, and skillful knife skills are rare in the world! "
"Yes, this is something the emperor gave me before, so it is naturally very good. King Ning knew that Lord Li liked jade, so he specially reported to the emperor and gave the jade to Lord Li." Ouyang Wu's eyes flashed a trace of cunning, and she answered flawlessly. This thing was indirectly given by the emperor. Even if you did something, it has nothing to do with us. No matter what you do, you must clear yourself before you do it.
At the beginning of lunch, the maids filed in, brought water for washing hands, and began to serve the dishes gently. As expected of the Li Mansion, the food was extremely exquisite and tasted very good, but Ouyang Wu ate it like chewing wax. The ladies sitting next to her seemed to be trying to curry favor with her, and kept talking to Ouyang Wu. Ouyang Wu responded carefully and didn't eat much, just hoping that the banquet would end soon.
Lunch was almost over, Zhulu hurried over and whispered in Ouyang Wu's ear: "Princess, the prince is drunk, please go over quickly?"
"Oh? Is that so?" Ouyang Wu felt bored here, and thought that Ye Chonghua's idea was very good, so she stood up and said, "I'll be back soon."
Ouyang Wu was led by Zhulu to the villa in the West Garden. The garden along the way was very beautiful, with strange stones and lush trees. The ancient cypresses and vines were all hundreds of years old, which decorated the garden with interest. It was very quiet here, no one was there, Ouyang Wu couldn't help but feel strange, frowning and said: "Zhulu, who asked you to come here?"
"It was a maid from the Li Mansion. She said that the prince was drunk and unconscious. Please go over here quickly."
Ouyang Wu looked at Zhulu's anxious face and couldn't help laughing. She stretched out her hand and touched her forehead: "You fool, you don't even know that you have been deceived."
"Ah?"
"I guess we have fallen into someone else's trap." Ouyang Wu looked at Zhulu's panicked look, with a faint expression on her face. She asked, "With the prince's temperament, would he be the kind of person who would get drunk? As long as he doesn't want to, no one can force him to get drunk."
"Ah! That's right!" Zhulu widened her eyes, "Just now, the maid came over and said it was very serious, saying that the prince was drunk and ran over here, so I...Princess, let's go back quickly."
