After Becoming the Hero’s Ex-fiancée - Chapter 3

[Chapter 3 Shanglin Banquet]

On the day of the Shanglin Banquet, the Shoufu Mansion.

“Little lady’s hair is really nice. It’s black and shiny. I’m afraid you won’t be able to find a second one in the entire Shangjing.”

The lady combing her hair neatly pulled out a full moon falling immortal bun, and took it for a make-up. “Today’s banquet, is this a hairpin, this golden silk inlaid ruby double luan with green steps, or a cloud-footed pearl tendril?”

“Just this one.”

Zheng Wan stretched out her wrist, opened the bottom layer of the makeup, and took out a ruby tortoiseshell hairpin.

The hairpin looks a few years old, not the fashionable style it is today, but the ruby on the head of the hairpin still looks a bit precious. But this preciousness is still a bit shabby for Mrs. Zheng, who wears the pearl of the South China Sea all the year round and wears white suet and white jade.

The lady who combed her hair didn’t ask any more questions. The little lady looked like she had good sex, but she was actually a one-of-a-kind person.

Zheng Wan looked in the mirror, only to feel that her makeup was too plain and cold, so she simply took a red pen and traced a plum blossom on her forehead, put on a thin gold leaf, sipped her rouge, and asked the maid behind her:

“Rouge, how is it?”

Rouge opened her mouth wide:

“The little lady is so…beautiful.”

Huo Dai entered the door with a large-sleeved shirt made of cloud brocade by needleworkers overnight, and said with a smile: “From tomorrow onwards, I’m afraid this flower tin will become popular in the whole of Shangjing.”

Zheng Wan lifted her lips meaningfully.

Without saying more, Ren Huidai and Rouge stood up while serving and put on long sleeved shirts and silk, and they were about to go out, but they saw that Huidai hesitated to speak.

“What’s wrong?”

“My lady forgot to put on pearl powder.”

This is the pearl powder that has been ground with the finest South China Sea pearls. The face is moist and delicate, and the little lady loves to use it on weekdays. I don’t know why these days, I haven’t touched it.

She only drew her eyebrows and touched her lips.

Zheng Wan shook her head:

“Put these makeup powders away, don’t use them again in the future.”

Many of the plots in the dream were blurred when they woke up, but they still remembered these details, even Zheng Wan thought it was ridiculous – those fairies who could fly to the sky were quite disdainful of these mortal makeup powders, saying that they would hurt her face.

That being the case, no need.

“Here.”

Tuo Dai was blessed with a blessed body, and together with Rouge, they helped the little lady to join the Wang family.

The carriage of the Shoufu Mansion stopped at the door. Zheng Wan and her mother had one, and the maids had one, but Zheng’s father, who was supposed to accompany them, was not by the car.

“What about Aye?”

Wang shook his head: “You, Aye, took a letter and went out. You only said that we will go first, and he will arrive later.”

Zheng Wan was surprised when she saw Chang Sui beside her father winking at her.

She stroked her forehead, pretending to be sleepy and wanting to rest in the car for a while, so she and her mother shared two carriages one after the other. Huo Dai accompanied him and handed a note:

“A message from your lord.”

Zheng Wan unfolded, but saw her father tell her that she had found a suspicious person beside Dengwen Drum, and she has now rushed away, don’t read Yunyun.

The time has advanced.

Zheng Wan was taken aback and didn’t understand what the advance of time meant.

In the dream, the bitter master who lost his wife ran to the capital to file a lawsuit against the imperial court, saying that her ten counts of bullying men and women in the Zheng family were clearly after the Shanglin banquet.

“Father… can you bring anything else to bring?”

“My lord said, I’m afraid there will be no good feast today, so please be careful, little lady.”

But an ordinary order.

“That’s it.”

Soldiers come to block, water to earth to cover.

Outside the car window, the carriage was reeling out of Ronghe Lane, towards the western suburbs outside the city.

Shanglin Banquet was held in the Plum Garden in the western suburbs.

The Plum Garden covers an area of 1,000 hectares, and can be used for horse racing, Cuju, and water. The most amazing thing is that in the past two decades, the plum blossoms in the Plum Garden have been blooming and undefeated. It is guarded by guards and only open on special occasions.

Before reaching the place, you can see Huating colorful covers, incense cars and BMWs, crowding the road in front of the main entrance of Meiyuan, and there is no water. There are merchants cooking and drinking tea and selling them along the street.

“It looks more lively than in previous years.”

Huo Dai opened the curtain of one side of the car.

The green pines and green cypresses beside the road are all covered with delicate bells and tassels, which are knotted, and when the wind blows, they tinkle and tinkle, which is festive and beautiful.

Zheng Wan laughed:

“It must be lively.”

Today’s banquet is co-organized by the Holy Master, the Li Si and the Hu Si. It is said that all officials celebrate the harvest with joy. In fact, it is all to please the indescribable national teacher, whether it is precious or stubborn, or beautiful delicacy, as long as It’s worth it if you can please the adult a little bit of joy.

Zheng Wan came here with the same purpose.

Before she came, she thought about it carefully. She didn’t look at what she saw in her dreams, but only looked at the past. She knew that Cui Wang, the general of the Zheng family, had offended him to the death, and there was no room for change.

In the playbook, it was his father who asked the housekeeper to drive him out as an autumn wind, and then she, who was arrogant at a young age, rewarded him with a plan—however you look at it, it should be the villain who was pressed on the ground and beaten. Son.

She wanted Jianjun’s heart, she was just wishful thinking.

However, no matter how bad it is, it is not bad now. Zheng Wan never lacked the courage to take chestnuts out of fire, but she didn’t want to think about whether she took them in the end. Approaching people first and trying to eliminate the other party’s bad feelings is the top priority.

“Let Rouge take the famous post to report—”

“No need.” Zheng Wan shook her head, “They can wait, and so can my Zheng family.”

When Aye knelt down at the Anju gate, the court and the opposition shook. In addition, the prince had withdrawn from his relatives at this time, and her Zheng family’s loss of the king’s heart was a sure thing.

The above is intentional, and the next must be effective.

There’s really no need to humiliate yourself and beat others with a shy face.

“Here.”

Huo Dai bowed his head.

“But Lady Wan?”

At this moment, a high-pitched voice came from the side.

Zheng Wan looked out the window, but saw that the curtains of a carriage that were bridging together were also slamming, and Mrs. Jiang San, who had only seen it the day before yesterday, was looking out.

These noble children of military commanders are always so reckless.

“Three ladies.”

Zheng Wan sat upright and nodded slightly.

Jiang Sanniang: “It’s rare that Wan Niang is also waiting with us. Come, come, come and invite you to have tea.”

“Don’t bother the third lady.”

Zheng Wan smiled and refused.

Unexpectedly, this refusal seemed to anger the other party. Jiang Sanniang’s eyebrows stood upright, and she said sarcastically: “If you don’t eat it at this time, I can’t say a few days, and I don’t even have to eat this tea.”

“If there is such a day, I hope that the third lady can be as generous as she is today, and give the old friend a bowl of tea to see off.”

Zheng Wan replied slowly.

Madam Jiang San choked, and after choking, she admired this Zheng Zheng, and it was also a skill to be able to stay calm at such a level.

With the eyes of the Zheng family in the court, it is impossible not to know that the prince is going to marry the sister of the Liu family at this banquet today.

However, she knew more than others.

Last night, Aye ate some wine, crying and laughing at her grandmother’s drunken madness, she happened to be there, and heard a couple of words like “the rabbit died and the fox sad”, about what “just wait for the board”. As soon as the drum is heard, several crimes will be punished, and then the house will be raided.” Yunyun, after thinking about it, the only one who has seen evil against the Holy Master in Beijing recently is the Zheng family.

She, Aye, knew that it was because he was also the commander of the Shenji battalion.

Seeing Zheng Wan, who was unaware, Jiang Sanniang was pitiful and relieved. She only felt that the stagnation in her chest was relieved, and she was very happy. She was about to say a few more words, but she suddenly covered her mouth with a veil. exclaimed:

“Master National Teacher!”

Zheng Wan didn’t know that the world was far more sinister than what she had seen in her dreams, and the time left for her was not a month, it was so short that there was only one banquet time.

She was turning her head at this moment, and followed San Niangzi to look into the distance.

Outside the Meiyuan Road, a carriage came from a distance.

The two horses pulling the chariot were all snow-white, clear and pure like snow, and their hooves were galloping like clouds and fog, but with a wrong eye, they were already close.

“咴-”

“咴-咴-”

The horses in the audience suddenly neighed in the sky, pulling their own frame to move, and within a while, a wide avenue was given up in the middle, enough for two carriages to pass in parallel.

When the carriage of the National Teacher’s House galloped past, the horses raised their heads again, and when the road returned to chaos, someone woke up and asked:

“This…is the national teacher?”

“The weather of the real fairy family is also.”

Zheng Wan’s heart was agitated.

Fang felt shocked when he personally experienced the so-called “all beasts surrender” in the book. The pair of horses that pulled the horses were not real horses, but the legendary unicorns, but they were blindfolded by Cui Wang.

“I don’t know what this National Teacher’s life looks like.”

Jiang Sanniang looked longing.

“You don’t know either?”

Zheng Wan remembered the beautiful neck she saw under the umbrella that day, which really matched the “ice sculpture and jade cast” mentioned in the book.

“Aye said that even the Holy Master has not seen it.”

Jiang Sanniang murmured, and when she regained her senses, she realized that it was Zheng Wan who was talking to her, and her face stiffened.

Zheng Wan went to the place where the carriage disappeared. Others didn’t know it, but she knew that the so-called national teacher sitting in the carriage was just a “puppet man”.

The real national teacher, who took Yi Rongguo early, turned into an ordinary young man, and entered the plum garden to enjoy the “mortal baptism”.

What she has to do is to seize the moment and make a deal with this unremarkable and innocent Cui Langjun.

Li Si and Hu Si jointly organized the banquet, and Zheng Wan didn’t wait too long, but she entered the garden after a stick of incense.

The plum garden is huge. It is divided into left and right by a Lanpo Lake. The left side of the lake is rockery and rocks, small bridges and flowing water, and the right side of the lake is pavilions and pavilions. The most famous “Lisi soup” in Beijing is also on the right side of the lake.

Zheng Wan followed her mother for a while, and stopped when she was still 100 meters away from Lan Zeyuan.

“Wanwan?”

Wang turned her head and urged her.

Zheng Wan pressed her belly with her left hand, her face sullen: “Auntie, maybe there are more cakes in the carriage, Wanwan, Wanwan thinks…”

The little lady is thin-skinned and can’t tell.

The maid who led the way covered her mouth and smiled and pointed to the Moon Gate nearby:

“The second room here is where the women’s relatives change their clothes. Today, Meiyuan is short of manpower, and it is inconvenient for the maid to go there. The little lady will come to Lanzeyuan after changing her clothes.”

“Auntie, you go first, Wanwan will come in a while.”

Wang Shi hesitated to speak, only took a step after Zheng Wan pushed him, took two steps and then turned back with a concerned expression: “Is it really okay?”

“Auntie, hurry up.”

Zheng Wan stomped her feet, revealing her little daughter’s shame, “If I don’t go, my daughter will be annoyed.”

Wang Shi then turned around and left.

When the show was going to be full, Zheng Wan really went to the locker room, sent Huo Dai away, asked her to go to the carriage to get another dress, and then went out through the arch next to the Moon Gate.

The young maid just now waited there and blessed her body: “Little lady, everything is arranged properly.”

“You don’t have to come.”

There is a cobblestone path outside the arch, and the winding path leads to the secluded. After walking along the path for a while, we reached the destination. At this time, the sky began to rustle and snow particles began to fall.

Zheng Wan gathered up the feathers and went forward.

There are thousands of expanses of blue water in front, there are sleeping lotus and bamboo, and there are small pavilions and pavilions, but there is no one.

Zheng Wan walked around the lake slowly before she found the crooked neck tree she had seen in her dream. The body of the tree needs to be hugged by three people, and the branches are strong, perhaps Lei Jin. The tree was half charred and black, but half of it is still alive and tenacious.

Who would have thought that a person was sitting on this tree with all its branches and leaves falling.

Immortal family means, really miraculous.

Zheng Wan thought to herself, stretched out her hand and stroked the rough-skinned, brown-skinned tree, full of emotion:

“It’s great that you’re still here. If I’m still here next year…”

She hid her words and stood upright with Da Hui close to her. Ren Xueluo’s head was covered, she looked up at Yao Jin Bibo, and was speechless for a long time.

Cui Wang looked condescendingly at this Zheng’s daughter, plum blossom tin, Yun Jinyi, the most precious bird feathers in the mortal world as a hood and pearls as shoes, really noble and awe-inspiring.

If you don’t look at the character, just look at the color, and put it in the Xuancang realm, this is a rare beauty.

He turned his head without a trace, and his eyes fell on the lake not far away.

In less than a while, I heard a choked sob coming from under the tree, as if someone was crying hard, closing his mouth and trying to endure it, but he couldn’t help but run out.

Cui Wang glanced down.

However, seeing that the girl who was proud of Ling Xue just now shrank herself into a ball, hid behind a tree, and hid her head in the big house, crying and trembling.

Seemingly aware of the sound, she tried desperately to close it, but couldn’t, and began to hiccup.

Cui Wang put a soundproof cover on his hands, and the cry of a beautiful woman could not cause even a ripple in his life. He looked at the lake again.

Zheng Wan stopped crying when she cried.

She patted the blade of grass that she had just squatted down, and took care of all the troubles just now, making sure that no one else could see it before she rested.

Seeing a group of well-known playboys in Beijing approaching from a distance, they turned around and wanted to leave.

“Hey, hey, don’t go.”

“Look, isn’t this the majestic Zheng’s wife from the beginning, hiding her crying nose by herself?”

“His Royal Highness doesn’t want you, my brother wants you, come to my brother’s arms, and when I look back, my brother will tell Ming Aye to marry you and go home as a concubine.”

“Presumptuous! Who gave you the guts to humiliate the daughter of a high-ranking court official.” Zheng Wan straightened her back and couldn’t take another step.

She really couldn’t leave. This group of people, who went back to the dandy, also grew up on horseback when they were young.

“Yo, presumptuous?!”

The second son of King Liang Guogong, who was once whipped by her in public, laughed, “Brothers, listen, this Zheng Qingwu is still arrogant, who knows that her Zheng family is about to be in disaster, and she will be in Jiaofang another day. See you, I’m afraid I’ll feel distressed when I wait.”

“Isn’t it a pity that this number one beauty is lost in fireworks and has become something that thousands of people eat?”

“Why don’t I try it first?”

Zheng Wan was “angry” and trembling all over, like a willow leaf shivering in the wind, her back was still straight, never bent down for a moment, she gritted her teeth and retreated to the lake:

“wishful thinking.”

The strong smell of alcohol on the tip of her nose told her that the arranged scene was about to heat up.
