Medical Drug Concubine: Your Majesty, please forgive me

Chapter 18 Family Dinner
On July 28, the sun was shining brightly and everything was luxuriant, and the garden of Shang Shufu was full of exotic flowers and plants.

Branches, clusters, gorgeous flowers and beautiful colors are competing in the garden one after another, forming a lush one.

Several wives and ladies have already come to the inner courtyard, and they gather together in small groups, chatting and laughing with each other, it's really lively.

The old lady took Wan Su's hand and took her to meet the lady who came to the banquet. Everyone was amazed when they saw this outstanding and dignified girl.

"This Shangshu Mansion really produces beauties! I thought her eldest lady, Liang Yunxi, was already pretty enough, but the second lady, Liang Wansu, is not inferior!"

Lin Xin'er, daughter of the Lin family, was ordered by Zhongshu to speak to the ladies he knew well.

"It's true that there is no difference between equals, but after careful comparison, I still think that the second lady is superior. If you look closely at the appearance of her eldest lady, although her facial features are bright, her cheekbones are a bit high. A bit mean. On the other hand, this second lady has soft features, although she is not as stunning as the eldest lady at first glance, she is gentle, dignified and extremely kind!"

Liu Ningshuang said, the daughter of the Yushi doctor's family.

Because her father's official position is the highest among the fathers of the other young ladies present, so hearing what she said, others followed suit.

These words reached the ears of Liang Yunxi who was sitting not far away, and she was so angry that she almost exploded on the spot.However, she still wanted to maintain her dignified image in the past, so she had to try her best to keep her face as peaceful as possible.But the newly made nail on her left thumb had already been broken abruptly.

Seeing her like this, Liu Ningshuang felt indescribably happy in her heart. If she were to talk about her misfortune with Liang Yunxi, it would have to be two years ago.

That day was Liu Ningshuang's birthday, Madam Liu loved her daughter dearly, so she invited many noble ladies and daughters from the capital to a banquet at home to celebrate it.

At that time, the Liu family was about the same age as the Guo family's children, so Mrs. Liu intended to betroth Liu Ningshuang to Guo Yan, the second son of the Guo family, as his wife.

So he discussed with several wives who were acquainted, hoping that they could let their daughters and Liu Ningshuang perform on stage together.

The wives are all smart people, so they know her intentions, and because of the high positions of her master and doctor censor, they all intend to please her.

When they asked their daughters to perform, they clicked as far as they could to serve as a foil for Liu Ningshuang.

Unexpectedly, on that day, the fifth prince and the second prince were also in the mansion to discuss state affairs with Mr. Liu, and they also attended the banquet together.

The other ladies followed the previous arrangement and performed in a low-key manner, so as not to lose their own face, but did they steal Liu Ningshuang's limelight.

Only this Liang Yunxi, she performed before Liu Ningshuang, but in order to show off in front of the two princes, she even temporarily changed her dance repertoire, from the mediocre "Taoyao Dance" to the difficult and stunning "" Phoenix Dance for Nine Heavens'.

After dancing to a song, all the people were amazed and praised.

The second prince even wrote a poem for her on the spot, praising her as a fairy who descended to earth. Liang Yunxi was in the limelight for a while, and her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the capital was spread from then on.

But some people are happy and some are sad. With Liang Yunxi's jewels in front, Lin Ningshuang's performance is not bad, but compared with "Feng Wu Nine Heavens", it is still quite inferior.

For the sake of the host's face, everyone praised him symbolically, but the enthusiasm in it was incomparable to that when they praised Liang Yunxi.

Liu Ningshuang has been spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and has an arrogant personality. She has never suffered from such anger.

So he pulled Liang Yunxi aside in private and asked for an explanation, but Liang Yunxi not only showed no remorse, but also sarcastically said that she was inferior to others, and she deserved it.

Liu Ningshuang, who has a straightforward personality, suddenly became furious and cursed her loudly.

The movement here attracted many people to watch, but Liang Yunxi put away the arrogant look just now, and changed into a look with tears in his eyes and pursed lips forbearance like a magic trick.That expression seemed to be extremely wronged.

Because Guo Yan was amazed by Liang Yunxi's dance, he thought of being a hero to save the beauty, so he took the initiative to ask the reason.
Liang Yunxi didn't explain, but it was her concubine sister Liang Ruolan.

Tell others that it was because Liang Yunxi overshadowed Liu Ningshuang, and Liu Ningshuang was dissatisfied, so she deliberately came to find fault with her sister.

As the two sisters sang and sang, they portrayed Liu Ningshuang as a shrew with a small belly and a jealous nature.

The marriage between the Liu family and the Guo family fell through.

Especially that Guo Yan, until now, is still one of Liang Yunxi's many admirers.

Two years later, the old lady intended to ease the relationship between the two families, so she sent an invitation to her family for this banquet. She thought her family would refuse, but she didn't expect that Liu Ningshuang and her mother would actually come.

Liu Ningshuang looked at Liang Yunxi's charming face, and the past scenes came to her mind again, and she felt aggrieved again, so she slapped a crape myrtle flower she just picked on the table heavily.

Unfortunately, with this movement, she bumped into the arm of the servant girl who came to pour the tea. The servant girl lost her balance and spilled the tea on her sleeve.

Liu Ningshuang jumped up quickly to shake off her clothes, and Lin Qing'er who was beside her also quickly stepped forward.

She looked at Liu Ningshuang's dirty sleeves, and couldn't help but reprimanded the maid: "You girl, how careless you are in doing things, look at what you have done to this clothes!"

The servant girl was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed frequently: "Miss, please calm down, I know I was wrong, I didn't do it on purpose."

Saying that, the girl started to cry in fright.

Seeing her shivering, Liu Ningshuang couldn't bear it. Although she was a bit straightforward and arrogant, she was kind and easy-going in her bones. Thinking of this, she couldn't blame this girl entirely, so she didn't care too much.

"Get up, I don't blame you for this matter, I have spare clothes with me, you take me to the small guest room to change, just make up for it!"

······
In the small kitchen, Wan Su was extremely busy, watching the snacks come out, and busy ordering the maids to put them on the plate.

Liang Ruolan, who always liked to join in the fun, did not greet the guests in the front hall this time, but ran to the kitchen abnormally to help.

Everyone was busy, when suddenly a girl shouted outside the door: "Second Miss, there is something to do with the old lady, I want you to come over."

Wan Su was having a hard time looking at the unfinished dim sum, Liang Ruolan saw her thoughts and took the initiative to ask Ying: "Second sister, you go first, I will help you here to watch! Anyway, there is only the final finishing touch, I have nothing to do. questionable."

Hearing what she said, Wan Su's eyes were full of gratitude.

"Then there will be the third sister Lao."

After finishing speaking, Wan Su followed the maid and walked out.

Seeing her walking away, Liang Ruolan looked around and saw three or four maids busy in the kitchen.

So she said, "Ah! Where are the petals?"

All the maids looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard her question.

"Miss San, what petals are you talking about!" a maid asked.

"Why didn't the second sister tell you? Her snacks are served with flower petals!"

The maidservants shook their heads blankly.

Liang Ruolan looked flustered, "How good this is, the snacks will be served in a while! How about this, you hurry up and pick some from the garden, we hurry up and make it, there must be time."

After hearing what she said, several servant girls hurried towards the garden.

In the small kitchen, Liang Ruolan was the only one left. Seeing that everyone had left, a hint of malice appeared in the corner of her eyes.

I saw where she put the condiments, took a clay pot, and then took out a handful of white powder from it, and sprinkled it on the dessert.
