Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 74
Everyone panicked immediately, the maid looked at it carefully with a white face, and quickly brought cold water for Jin Ling to soak the wound.

After a while, the red marks faded a lot, and nothing could be seen vaguely, so everyone felt relieved.

The maid rearranged and tidied up, replaced with new tea, and handed the handkerchief to Jin Ling.

Jin Ling took the handkerchief, dried her hands carefully, and forced a smile:

"It's okay, I was just careless..."

Wei Wan's eyes stayed away from Jin Ling's face for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, his eyes flashed, and asked:
"I remember that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Miss Chang Liu danced the song "Neon Phoenix" with her sister. Did my sister notice anything at that time?"

Zheng Yu also looked over:
"Does the fourth sister know something? Chang Yongfang, a well-behaved girl, fell into the water for no reason? I don't believe it..."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Jin Ling panicked for a moment, blushing and clutching the handkerchief helplessly.

"That night Miss Four and I met under the porch of the Wu Palace. We drank tea and chatted together, but we never heard anything about Miss Chang Six."

Li Taiwei looked at the crowd and said calmly:
"Although there are rumors in the market right now, Miss Chang Liu's marriage has not been decided. Such hearsay is not credible. It is related to the reputation of the royal family. Besides, not everyone in Dali Temple Qing Changhai's mansion can be provoked. All sisters need more help. Be more careful with your words and deeds..."

After Li Taiwei said this, the girls naturally didn't dare to make trouble, so they hurriedly stopped the topic and served tea in embarrassment.

Only Jin Xuan, the fifth daughter of the Jin family, nodded and said yes to what the princess said.

Jin Ling calmed down, and glanced at Li Taiwei gratefully.

This scene happened to fall into Wei Wan's eyes, and she felt more and more strange, but because of Li Taiwei's presence, she naturally didn't dare to ask more questions.As Li Taiwei said, although the reputation of the six girls of the Chang family was ruined by this rumor, Dali Siqing is definitely not something her family can provoke...

In Shengjing City, there are very few people who can provoke the Chang family.But there is only one person here!
Wei Wan hid the jealousy in her eyes, and drank tea silently, thinking in her mind how she could use the Jinfu to climb up this thick-necked tree like Li Taiwei!

But Li Taiwei is not like an ordinary noble girl, she has an extraordinary bearing, and it seems that she won't be able to cling to her in just a few words... Thinking about it this way, the fragrant tea in Wei Wan's mouth became dull.

"Girl, Madam said that the dinner is served on the lower platform, and told the girls to go there earlier."

Outside the gazebo, a maid called out.

Only then did the atmosphere in the pavilion relax a bit, and Jin Ling raised her smiling face again, and invited everyone to the platform for a banquet.

Luoyuetai is an octagonal square pavilion built in the water, surrounded by water.The moonlight sprinkled on the lake, sparkling and very artistic.

A Baifu round table was placed in the pavilion, covered with various dishes.

Li Taiwei has a high status, Madam Jin invited her to sit at the table with her.

Li Taiwei declined a few times before taking her seat, and Madam Jin said loudly:
"The Xiangfu is very happy today! I just got the news, you kid, you didn't even talk to us about such an important matter, so that we can be happy..."

Everyone looked over as soon as they heard it, their eyes full of surprise.

The Li family is already in full swing in the capital!Not long ago it was reported that Princess Showa was pregnant. What kind of happy event could make Mrs. Jin unable to hide her amazement?
"Mother, is there any happy event in the princess's mansion?"

Jin Ling glanced at Li Taiwei, saw that she looked normal, and asked Mrs. Jin with a smile.

Madam Jin laughed and said:
"Master Xiang recovered the lost Dayan relic for His Majesty. Today His Majesty issued an order to confer Li Xiang as Prince Rui! This is incredible! This is also the first king of the opposite sex in our Great Zhou Dynasty! In the future, the Zhongyonghou Mansion will have to be renamed Prince Rui's residence!"

All the noble ladies were amazed, and couldn't help whispering, "Da Yan's relics are here, no wonder the Li family is so honored!"Busy toast to congratulate Li Taiwei.

Mrs. Li responded with a smile, took a sip, and thanked everyone one by one, but she was worried about her father entering the palace today, presumably she could not get His Majesty to take back his order.

It seems that His Majesty is determined to use the Prince's influence this time, and he really intends to take Prince Chun first...

"The princess, please tell us, how did you find the Dayan relic?"

The sisters of the Zheng family were the most impatient and couldn't help asking.

Mrs. Jin laughed and scolded for being unruly, and looked at Li Taiwei with some curiosity.

Li Taiwei then elaborated on the speech he and Li Sheng had prepared earlier, which aroused everyone's amazement.Mrs. Jin thought secretly, and filled the wine glasses for everyone.

The banquet was full of noble ladies from various families, so Mrs. Jin didn't dare to really bring out the wine, so she replaced the wine with fruit tea, stood up and offered a toast to Li Taiwei:
"Princess Chonghua, thank you for taking care of my sister Ling, I will take this cup on behalf of my master, and respect the princess!"

Li Taiwei heard that Mrs. Jin was thanking her for Jin Ling's falling into the water during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she hurriedly got up and said:

"Si Miss and I have known each other for a long time. It is our duty to help each other. How dare Madam and Master Jin care so much?"

Madam Jin's eyes were full of gratitude, she drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, Li Taiwei also drank a full cup, and sat down with Madam Jin.

The noble ladies were a little confused, but they didn't take this to heart. They laughed and quarreled with each other for a while during the banquet, and then the banquet broke up.

Wei Wan had a faint feeling in her heart that something must have happened to Jin Ling at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but she couldn't guess for a while, her eyes were a little gloomy.

"Shall I take the princess to the wing room to change clothes?"

Jin Ling got up and took the initiative to hold Li Taiwei's hand, with some care hidden in her eyes.

Li Taiwei had visited countless people in her previous life, and when she saw something, she responded and went to the wing room with her.

After entering the inner room, Jin Lingping withdrew her servants and looked at Li Taiwei a little dodgyly.

Li Taiwei understood, turned around and told Dafu and Huayan to stay outside.

"The fourth girl has something to do, but it's okay to say."

Li Taiwei took out a peach blossom folding fan from the dressing table, unfolded it in his hands, played with it again, and turned to look at Jin Lingdao.

Jin Ling's face was flushed, and he stumbled and said:

"Princess...Princess...are you familiar with him..."

"Who did the fourth girl ask?"

Li Taiwei paused while shaking the fan, and looked at Jin Ling in surprise.

Jin Ling's face was flushed red immediately, fine beads of sweat leaked from the tip of her nose, she clenched her fingertips, her voice was a little tense:

"Chang... Changping Marquis Mansion... Lu Shizi..."

After saying that, she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look into Li Taiwei's eyes, her ears were burning hot.

old widower?
Li Taiwei almost called out these three words...

With Jin Ling's appearance like this, how could she not be able to see that she, Li Taiwei, has been a human being for two lifetimes?

Li Taiwei quickly closed the fan with one hand, only to hear a "swipe".

Jin Ling raised her head suddenly, seeing Li Taiwei's face was full of surprise, she said in panic:
"Princess...what's the matter..."

Li Taiwei only felt that he was a little panicked, and couldn't tell what was wrong with him for a while, so he calmed down and said perfunctorily:
"It's not very familiar, I just had a fight with me half a month ago..."

Jin Ling was stunned for a moment when she heard the sound, and couldn't help thinking of the night when she fell into the water, Li Taiwei seemed to have strangled Lu Xiao's neck, and Lu Xiao also sneered at her.

Jin Ling looked a little embarrassed, and said:

"Then... the princess... think... how is Lu Shizi?"

Li Taiwei felt a toothache while clutching the fan, and said that there was a fight, what else?
But asking her this question... is actually asking the right person!

She has fought with Lu Xiao for two lifetimes, and she really knows him well!

Li Taiwei gritted her teeth, Yin Cece concluded:
"He's a man...he's full of bad things, he's mean and treacherous! Apart from his martial arts, he's worthless. He's definitely not a good match!"
