When I woke up, my whole family was in rebellion!

Chapter 26

"Yes, princess."

Chunhua didn't dare to say any more, she was just a servant after all, how dare she really be the master of her master.She carefully stood behind Gu Yuan, fanning her, but her eyeballs uncontrollably glanced towards the mat.

"Princess Changping is here!"

"Prince Huai is here!"

As soon as the voice of the father-in-law who delivered the letter fell, everyone at the table stood up consciously.Supported by Chunhua, Gu Yuan stood there vainly, but couldn't help himself, and looked outside.

Gu Yafang walked in front, her airs had always been big, her head was covered with gold hairpins, she needed two maidservants to support her so that she would not lose the headdress.

And Xie Lingyun was a few steps behind, and was also supported by the maidservant, but she walked flexibly and effortlessly.

Her headgear today is also very prosperous, with ostentatious colorful butterflies flying around her head, and it is studded with precious stones, which are exactly the batch of treasures offered by the Nanzhao Kingdom before.

Nanzhao Kingdom has always been rich in gemstones of various colors, especially rubies that are as bright as blood, which are very precious.The number of offerings made each year is very small, not even enough for the concubines in the palace.

Gu Yuan met him once when he was paying his respects to the empress.At that time, the Empress was wrapping her hands in a soft cloth and playing with the gems, carefully and lovingly.

But Xie Lingyun inlaid the gem on her walking swing in such a grand manner, and placed it on her head. Such a big one attracted everyone to look at her.

Gu Yafang naturally noticed it too. Although she was unhappy, she still remembered her brother's confession.So he smiled and waved for everyone to sit down, "Okay, let's all sit down."

Fu turned his head again, and said to Xie Lingyun affectionately: "Brother Prince specially asked me to take good care of you. Look, are these arrangements going well?"

It is rare for her to be so friendly with Xie Lingyun. Not only is she uncomfortable, but Xie Lingyun also feels uncomfortable.

But the two women came to act tonight, and they coexisted peacefully on the surface, but in fact neither of them looked down on the other, and they refused to back down.

Xie Lingyun's eyes fell on the pair of golden bowls and chopsticks in front of her, and then she looked at the fifth princess sitting across from her, and she understood, "Thank you princess for your kindness, but Lingyun is only a princess, so I'm afraid it's against the rules to do so."

Gold bowls and chopsticks are the specifications of a princess, no matter how favored she is, she is only a princess.If it gets out, people will only say that she has stepped forward and catch her.

"Hexiang, change."

Gu Yafang watched helplessly as He Xiang took away the golden bowl and chopsticks, and then brought in a pair of silver bowls and chopsticks from outside, apparently Xie Lingyun often used them.

She had good intentions, but Xie Lingyun didn't appreciate it at all. If Yun Jian hadn't quietly pulled her, Gu Yafang would have lost her temper.

Fortunately, Xie Lingyun's move was just to avoid danger, not deliberately to save Gu Yafang's face. After changing the bowls and chopsticks, she explained in a gentle voice: "I was injured last time hunting, and the imperial doctor said that it needs to be carefully recuperated. Even the bowls and chopsticks can't be taken lightly. If I use it indiscriminately, my concubine asked someone to prepare a pair for me."

On the hunting ground, the prince was injured and was suppressed as an accident.But I don't know why, when it was reported to the outside, he became the princess who sacrificed his life to save the prince, and was seriously injured.

Although the news is half true and false, the prince is happy to see it succeed.

The closer Xie Lingyun is tied to him, the deeper the Huai Palace will be involved with him.In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, they would think that Duke Huai's mansion showed favor to him and stood by his side.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Chang Ping's face changed into a smile again, "Yes, you were injured this time, but you need to take good care of it, and it won't be good if you get the root of the disease."

She clapped her hands, and the servants outside brought up the prepared wine.Put them on the tables of the guests one by one, there are at least four or five kinds.

And the golden wine vessels are only available in the two rows in front.

"Sister, this is Xiye's tribute wine bar? It's different just by smelling it. I heard that Xiye regards this wine as fine nectar and jade dew. I'm only willing to drink it during the festive season!"

Ding Zhihan was sitting at the bottom of Lu Jinyi, only an arm's length away, but the treatment was quite different.

She looked greedily at the tribute wine on Lu Jinyi's table, wanting to taste it.But Lu Jinyi just smiled and didn't answer.

This Xiye is far away from Yanjing, and the grape wine is no better than other wines. Whether it is made or preserved, the craftsmanship is very difficult.

Compared with ordinary grape wines, the one offered by Xiye Shang has a distinctive aroma. It is said that it is brewed with twelve different ingredients, so it is not easy to store.

In order to keep the fragrance of the wine alive, every time the tribute was paid, the journey was difficult, and when it was delivered to Yanjing, there were only a few pots.

As the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zuo, Lu Jinyi naturally had a taste.But in front of her, there were only two cups, not enough to drink by herself, let alone share it with others?

At Xie Lingyun's place, there was a full pot, and the blind could see Princess Changping's intentions!
"Thank you princess for the reward, this wine from Xiye really lives up to its reputation."

It was not the first time Xie Lingyun drank this wine. In the past, when Xiye came to pay tribute, no matter whether it was the emperor or the queen mother, they would always remember Duke Huai's mansion and give them rewards.

But she still drank very happily, besides the fine wine from Yuci, she also tried other wines, but none of them tasted as good as the wine from Yuci.

"It is said that the amount of good wine that Xiye paid tribute to this time is very small, even His Highness the Crown Prince only got a few jugs. Now it seems that His Highness really loves the princess."

In order to win people's hearts, the prince didn't keep a single pot for himself, but sent all of them to Princess Changping, and asked her to host a banquet, so as not to lose his royal demeanor.

However, his younger sister still had selfish intentions, and there were six jugs of wine given by the emperor, Gu Yuan and Xie Lingyun only got one jug, and gave another jug ​​to the noble daughter of the important minister's family.

Therefore, the remaining three pots were all placed on the princess's table.

Xu Fan raised his glass to respect each other, "It's my daughter's honor to be able to smell the fragrance of this fine wine given by the princess today."

She is the daughter of Shang Shu, and like Ding Zhihan, she has not yet caught the eye of Princess Changping.However, these words touched Gu Yafang's heart, and she immediately smiled and said: "Miss Xu is right, the prince brother has always loved this princess, and he gave me all the wine."

So what if Xie Lingyun is favored again?
Is it because I can't even get a pot of wine from the emperor, and I have to get it from her.Xu Fan's words were not brilliant, but they were just speculative, which made Gu Yafang happy, "Come here, reward me!"

In front of Xu Fan, a glass of fine grape wine was quickly placed. The smell was so fragrant that anyone who was close to him or far away could smell it.

Ding Zhihan and the other noble ladies looked at her enviously, and then followed Xu Fan's example, spreading good words without money, all flattering Gu Yafang.

Xie Lingyun lazily leaned on the armrest, watching Gu Yafang laughing and appreciating, she suddenly felt bored.She is not a good drinker, so every kind of wine is tasted first.

Still, it started to feel uncomfortable.
