Chapter 118
On the day of the Flower Appreciation Conference, Prince Ning's Mansion began to prepare early.There are a lot of guests invited this time, and many noble ladies come with their family members, so the servants should pay extra attention when preparing.
"Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li competed for jewelry on the street last month. They vowed not to see each other again. How can they be arranged to sit together?"
Lu Wanyin was worried, so she asked Huang Ying to watch over here.Although he is capable in managing things, he is a man after all, and he is not as careful as Huang Ying in many things.
"Yes, yes, I will change it."
Recently, Lu Wanyin is in charge of the affairs of the palace, and even Huang Ying is on the rise. Many things that Lu Wanyin is inconvenient to do are done by her.
In the past few days, she has cultivated a bit of arrogance, and ordinary servants don't even chew the root of their tongues in front of her.
"It's normal for the management of these daughters' affairs to be unclear. I chat more with the maids on weekdays, and I know a lot of these heresy news."
Huang Ying doesn't put on airs in front of everyone. She knows that if you want to convince others, you don't have to rely on your prestige.This is what she learned from Lu Wanyin's side, so when doing things, it is natural, and she also follows the principles of Lu Wanyin.
With such kindness and majesty, even the people in charge will think highly of her.
So Huang Ying participated in the arrangement of almost the whole process of this flower viewing meeting.She knows who sits where, who drinks what tea and what snacks they eat when, she knows everything in her mind.
When Lu Jinyi went out, he saw that it was still early, so he asked Xuexiang to tell the coachman to hang out a few more times and take a long detour.
So when she arrived, these guests had already arrived.When Lu Jinyi came from the outside under the leadership of his followers, everyone's eyes coincidently looked in her direction.
"This is... a phoenix skirt?"
"It's so gorgeous! Mom, this dress is really pretty!"
"Before I heard that the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is very outstanding. When I saw her today, she was really extraordinary."
As Lu Jinyi passed by, exclamations came one after another, reaching her ears one after another.Usually, this kind of admiration and praise is placed on Xie Lingyun.
At that time, she could always wear different skirts, jewelry, and good things that could not be bought outside.
Duke Huai's mansion is rich and generous, Xie Lingyun's good things can't be filled with baskets.And the Prime Minister's Mansion has always advocated frugality, so she has always been envious from the sidelines.
But now, the person who stands here to accept everyone's admiration has become her, and the object of everyone's admiration has also become her item!
This is the life Lu Jinyi wants - these envious eyes are the driving force for her to keep climbing!
"Why did my sister come here now, but I have to wait!"
Lu Wanyin stepped forward and personally pulled Lu Jinyi over. She didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. When she brought Lu Jinyi over, she deliberately stopped in front of Gu Xian, and then said as if she had just discovered:
"Sister, your dress today is really gorgeous, it's not like your usual style."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Xian and Lu Jinyi tensed up at the same time.
This skirt was a good gift from Gu Xian to Lu Jinyi, but originally it was the imperial concubine who asked him to bring it back to Lu Wanyin, but that day when he was a little confused in the west building, he got carried away and gave it to Lu Jinyi directly.
Now that Lu Wanyin mentioned it, he subconsciously thought, if she pressed her question, how should she explain it?
But Lu Jinyi didn't know the inside story, and thought that Lu Wanyin had discovered something.But looking at her gentle smile, it doesn't seem like she knows the inside story, otherwise, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to be so indifferent.
So she calmed down a little, and deliberately looked away to avoid staring at Gu Xian, "My sister laughed, this is a new one recently, thinking that my sister's banquet today is grand, so I don't dare to treat it casually."
Lu Wanyin patted her hand with a smile, and said softly: "I have a heart."
She arranged Lu Jinyi to sit next to her. In Lu Jinyi's position, she could meet Gu Xian's eyes just by raising her head, which made her keep her head down the whole time, trying not to look around.
Lu Jinyi is not that stupid. Gu Xian took the initiative to marry him, and flirted with her in public, that's completely different.
She couldn't be too affectionate with her brother-in-law in front of so many people.Otherwise, if it gets out, when Gu Xian wants to marry her in the future, outsiders will think that they are already a perfect match, which is really useless to her reputation.
Lu Wanyin saw everything in her eyes, and thought to herself, this little sister of hers is not stupid, so at a time like this, she can hold her breath.
However, she could hold her breath, what about Gu Xian?
"My lord, what's wrong with you? Are you drunk?" Gu Xian's face was a little red, and he supported his head with his hands, and seemed to be drowsy beside him.
He has a good capacity for alcohol on weekdays, and he shouldn't be drunk after drinking such a small amount.But today's wine is more than ten years old wine, so it has a lot of stamina, so it's not surprising that he drank too much and got drunk.
Gu Xian only felt that his head was very dizzy, thinking that he had exchanged cups with Lu Wanyin at the banquet just now, and he behaved very intimately, so it should be enough.
As for acting, don't overdo it, or it will look fake.So, he barely managed to stand up, and thoughtfully said: "I'm going out to sober up, Wangfei, please accompany everyone, don't be restrained."
Lu Wanyin looked at him with concern, then nodded, "I know, my lord, you should go and rest quickly, so as not to get a headache at night."
She spoke so familiarly, as if she had taken care of Gu Xian countless times.But only the two of them knew that Gu Xian didn't even bother to go back to the palace when he was drunk, so he didn't know whose bed he would be lying on...
After Gu Xian left the table, Lu Jinyi also relaxed a lot.It happened that many noble ladies were curious about her skirt, so they came over to inquire about it, and Lu Jinyi took the opportunity to show it off.
But as to the origin of the dress, she was tight-lipped, only saying that it was a gift from a friend.
"My sister's dress looks familiar to me. But I can't remember it for a while. I'm afraid it's because I'm getting older and my memory is starting to get worse."
Lu Wanyin canceled herself, but her eyes were on Lu Jinyi's skirt.Lu Jinyi's back was a little chilled by her stare, so he quickly changed the subject and said:
"My sister was joking, why are you so old, I think you are as beautiful as a flower, and youth is just right!"
"Just your sweet mouth!"
Lu Wanyin covered her mouth and snickered, but she was secretly observing Lu Jinyi's expression.Seeing her staggering when she stood up, she hurried forward, helped her up, and asked with concern:
"Your sister is too strong to drink? Why don't you go to the courtyard and let the wind blow away?"
Lu Jinyi did have some headaches, and the fact that there were so many people around here made her feel even more uncomfortable.So he didn't refuse, nodded and said: "Then sister will leave first."
Lu Wanyin patted her hand with a smile, and said, "Huang Ying, take Second Miss to rest."
