The female supporting role never believes in fate

Chapter 71 Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet
"Yuguan, come here. It's been a busy day, so come to my aunt for a rest."

At this time, it was already time for the banquet, and the end was drawing to a close, His Majesty was drunk, shaking his head with the actors in the palace in the Huxin Pavilion not far away, but the Queen was always paying attention to Cheng Yuguan who followed after a busy day.

At this time, everyone is feasting, and the palace banquet has reached its climax. Of course, the empress knows that the most important part of a palace banquet has passed, and for the behind-the-scenes managers, it has come to an end.

The messy projects have all ended without any risk, and they can also relax for a while and listen to the music.

So the queen greeted Cheng Yuguan with a smile on her face and asked her to take a rest.

The voice of the Queen's call was not too loud. At the palace banquet, most people were immersed in singing and dancing. Only a few caring people in front of the Queen realized that the Queen cared about Cheng Yuguan.

"That's right, Yu Guan'er is too conscientious. It's really rare that there was no mistake in today's dinner."

It's no better than some young men and women who just watch the fun.

Housewives like the British princess know Cheng Yuguan's hard work as the person behind the scenes.

At this moment, the Empress Empress opened her mouth, and the eyes of the Duke and Duchess of England and others followed Cheng Yuguan.

The British lady even took Cheng Yuguan's hand and looked at the empress, "It's a pity that you should act quickly, otherwise, I will give Yuguan to my third child!"

The British princess' joke made everyone laugh and praised Cheng Yuguan.

Seeing that everyone admired Cheng Yuguan so much, the Empress Empress was also very happy, and followed everyone to pretend to be proud, "You guys are too slow, Yuguan has already been given a marriage contract by His Majesty to my fourth son, and you can only look at it greedily."

As she said that, the empress looked behind the Duchess of England, "Your granddaughter is not bad, she can sit still, she is not the one who waits to gather around the railing of the water pavilion to join in the fun."

At this time, not only are there singing and dancing in the Huxin Pavilion, Cheng Yuguan also arranged many small paper boats and lanterns for the ladies who are interested to return.

This is the custom of praying for blessings during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Naturally, many people went to release the boats.

Everyone was having fun, but Bai Xiaoling sat behind his grandmother, and when he heard the Queen praise him, Bai Xiaoling smiled shyly.

"Queen Empress, stop praising me. Compared with Sister Yuguan, I am ashamed to death."

Everyone saw that Miss Bai's round face was red, and her moist eyes were blinking. Her cute appearance made people like it.

"Okay, okay, our Xiaoling is a thin-skinned person, it makes you blush when you say that."

A lady teased Bai Xiaoling, finally Bai Xiaoling couldn't sit still, he got up suddenly and came to Cheng Yuguan, looked at everyone,
"I won't be with you anymore, I'll take Sister Yuguan to Shuixie to join in the fun."

The crowd laughed even more, "Okay, you little sisters, go and feel at ease, we old gangsters talk alone."

The few people present were all housewives of extraordinary status, usually dignified and dignified, but now they met and talked together with a sense of freedom and casualness not found elsewhere.

Seeing this, Cheng Yuguan and Bai Xiaoling hurriedly bid farewell, and if they stayed any longer, they wondered what other embarrassing jokes these ladies would say.

"Auntie, I will go to Shuixie with Miss Bai."

The empress smiled and waved her hands, "Go, otherwise these people will eat people later."

Hearing what the empress said, the ladies looked at each other and laughed.Draws the attention of the crowd.

Cheng Yuguan took the opportunity to avoid Bai Xiaoling.

...

"Sister is really amazing. Such a big palace banquet, I'm afraid hundreds of palace people are required to assist. The melons, fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks and fish meat involved in it, I'm afraid I have to book several cars in advance? There are also lanterns and colorful embroidery, actors and dance rehearsals. Calculated in this way, I have to prepare it three months in advance. I dare not say that it is safe. I heard that my sister is so thoughtful only more than half a month in advance. I really admire my sister."

Leaving the empress, Bai Xiaoling took Cheng Yuguan's arm and walked towards the wooden corridor, from the corridor to the water pavilion.

Hearing Bai Xiaoling's praise, Cheng Yuguan turned to look at the innocent Bai Xiaoling and shook his head.

"Miss Bai, don't praise me. It's all thanks to the four divisions and eight bureaus in the palace. They are experienced and capable people. I just follow them, use my words, and learn some experience."

Seeing what Cheng Yuguan said, Bai Xiaoling was still full of admiration.

"Several Shang Palace bureaus in the palace gather talented people from all over the world, and it's rare for my sister to work with them."

Hearing this, Cheng Yuguan looked at Bai Xiaoling, Bai Xiaoling noticed Cheng Yuguan's gaze, turned around, the two looked at each other, and Bai Xiaoling showed a bright smile.

Seeing Bai Xiaoling like this, Cheng Yuguan let go of his arm, and Bai Xiaoling's hand, which was holding Cheng Yuguan's, also drooped down. The two of them instantly changed from the intimacy just now to two strangers walking together.

...

The sudden change made Cheng Yu unconsciously sigh with concern.

Sure enough, this noble girl who grew up in a crowd of villains, all pretentious, how could she sincerely flatter others?
Just now, Bai Xiaoling pretended to praise, Cheng Yuguan refused, Bai Xiaoling immediately changed his words, saying that it was all thanks to the Shang Palace Bureau in the palace, and she just followed suit, mixing seniority.

The face-changing speed is fast and natural, much more natural and sophisticated than Cheng Yulou's fake and sticky one.

If the Empress had looked at the backs of the two of them all the way, she might have thought that they were close.

As everyone knows, among the two people, one smiling tiger has suddenly turned his face, and the other has seen what the smiling tiger thinks, and is walking fearlessly by himself.

The two just had the same goal.

...

When I arrived at the waterside pavilion, I looked at the river and saw paper boats carrying wind candles, as if they were swaying to the front from the distant sky. There were also ladies who wrote down their wishes and lowered the paper boats.

There is a palace canal here that leads directly to Lishui outside the palace. Everyone watched the paper boat drift away and finally left their sight, feeling as happy as their wish reaching the sky.

The noble ladies were always happy to release paper boats, and they also helped others to fish and release paper boats.

Bai Xiaoling had put away the fake face she had just faced with herself, and was smiling and joking with the other ladies again.

Bai Xiaoling has a round face, and when he is smiling all over his face, his innocent smile is hard to refuse.

Who would have thought that under such a smile was sophistication and indifference?

Cheng Yuguan leaned against the railing with his arms crossed, watching the crowd play.

At the women's womb banquet, there is a link of praying for blessings.

The Qiqiao Festival is to worship the moon and pray for blessings. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Yuguan had to set up such a pattern of Qushui paper boats to pray for blessings.

The environment here looks relaxed and unrestrained, but in fact, before today, Cheng Yuguan had already had people in this waterside promenade and checked it several times.

Until this morning, a slightly loose handrail and a wobbly palace lantern were replaced.

Cheng Yuguan didn't know why there were loopholes after repeated checks, but it didn't matter, she could check again and again until there were no mistakes or omissions.

"Cheng Siwu."

Cheng Yuguan watched behind everyone at any time, and a palace servant came to Cheng Yuguan's side while walking around.

She is the female officer of the Department of Justice.

"The railing of the pavilion in the middle of the lake was loose just now. The lower officials have already ordered red silk to be tied for reinforcement. There is also the palace lantern at the end of the water pavilion, which swayed in the wind just now, and almost fell and hit the palace servants. The palace servants you specially arranged to watch found out in time that they had been replaced. At present, there are only these two places, and the maids of other places are still watching."

"Ah."

Cheng Yu nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, lady, tomorrow, I will definitely report the truth to my aunt and reward you for your hard work."

The smile on the face of the female officer of the Department of Justice could not be stopped.

After the arrangement was completed yesterday, Si Wusi breathed a sigh of relief, but Cheng Siwu asked them to cheer up and stare at them all day today.

At first, the maids complained very much, but after Cheng Siwu found a few loose and omissions tonight, the palace ladies dared not neglect, tightened their nerves, cheered up from the beginning of the banquet, and only then did they find out a few more hidden dangers.

This alone is enough credit for them, and with Cheng Siwu asking for credit and rewards, they immediately felt that even if they were tired, it was worth it.

The female officer of the Siwu Division left, and Cheng Yuguan continued to stare at the many noble ladies in front of him.

Cheng Yuguan has always been prepared for anything.I would rather do more than make mistakes.

Right now, there are palace people watching from all over the palace banquet, only the noble ladies in front of them are left, so there may be accidents.

So she came here not to play, but to work.

...

"Big sister, why are you staring at everyone so much? Let's go and play together."

Cheng Yuguan had a reflexive dislike for the word "sister".

One Cheng Yulou and one Bai Xiaoling both like to call her "sister" silently.

Just now, after seeing off Bai Xiaoling who had changed his face, Cheng Yulou came to him again.

Cheng Yuguan was leaning on the pillar with his hands crossed over his chest, looking relaxed and at ease, but he was actually on guard all the time.

Cheng Yulou came to talk, and Cheng Yuguan just glanced at her.

"I'm very tired, I don't want to move, sister, let's go play by myself, just be careful. Although the railing here is not low, if someone pushes it accidentally, or does it on purpose, there is still a risk of falling into the water."

Cheng Yuguan's words meant something, and Cheng Yulou's face changed instantly.

"Is the eldest sister suspecting that I will intentionally tamper with the banquet that my sister is in charge of?"

Cheng Yulou looked aggrieved, "Since this is the case, my sister and my sister will go to the empress to make a difference. I understand that my sister is nervous about organizing a banquet for the first time, so there is no need to be so ignorant, right? The empress invited me to a banquet, and she didn't want us to come here to be jealous of my sister!"

With that said, Cheng Yulou was going to take Cheng Yuguan to the empress to judge.Still yelling, "I can't be wronged by you for nothing, even though the empress is my sister and aunt, I still want to ask the empress to speak for me!"

Although Cheng Yulou didn't speak loudly, the unjust tone in his mouth still attracted some noble girls to turn their heads and look sideways.

Although Cheng Yulou looked delicate on weekdays, his pushing hands were strong, as if he was determined to bring Cheng Yuguan to the empress.

"Yulou, don't be angry. Miss Yuguan is really nervous today. After all, it's the first time hosting a palace banquet. Just understand her."

Bai Xiaoling persuaded with a pointed tone.

"That's right, this bumpkin finished the big task of the palace banquet that day, because he was afraid that something wrong would dissatisfy the empress and affect her marriage to the fourth prince's residence. But for us, we have participated in this palace banquet a hundred or eighty times. Who is stalking people like her? It's really boring."

"That's right, since Miss Cheng is worried about us being by the water, we should stop playing at all. Miss Sheng still wants to watch us. Let's go back. This palace banquet is really disappointing."

"I don't want to, I want to watch the paper boats by the water, let Miss Cheng give me a break, if you don't want to play, leave by yourself, I still need Missy to guard me!"

...

All the noble ladies ridiculed Cheng Yuguan with your words, and Cheng Yulou felt happy when he saw this, but his face was full of worry.

"Don't say that, it's the first time my eldest sister organizes a palace banquet, and it's also the first time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace. It's normal that she doesn't fit in with us."

The so-called noble woman is not only noble, but also a little bit lawless.

Ordinary ladies from rich and noble families are spoiled, and they don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, let alone these noble girls who have wealth and status.

On another level, they are the appearance and confidence raised by a family.

So when they talk, they have never been submissive, but what they say.

This is the confidence of a noble lady.

Just like now, they were dissatisfied with Cheng Yuguan's cautiousness, so they clamored to bring Cheng Yuguan to confront the empress.

Of course, Cheng Yuguan's over-cautiousness is only one reason, on the other hand, Cheng Yuguan's aloofness does not fit in with the group, and he is engaged to the real favored son of heaven, the Fourth Prince. This is the reason why these people are dissatisfied with Cheng Yuguan.

Now that Cheng Yuguan was a little negligent, everyone began to hold back.

Facing the persecution of the noble ladies, Cheng Yuguan put down his hands that folded his chest, and spoke.

"Now that the weather is getting colder, everyone is wearing a thicker layer. It's dangerous to be near the water. If you fall into the water, typhoid fever is no joke. I'm just here to take care of you. Since you are so disgusted, well, I'll leave now."

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan turned and left, all the noble ladies looked at each other with satisfaction as if they were victorious.

"Yulou, that's all your big sister is capable of. She'll be disgusting in private. Once you get into a fight with her, what else can she do? She hired someone to come to her door and disgusted you, so you should beat up that scoundrel and send him to the official. He's cowardly and weak!"

"That's right, who are we noble girls afraid of? Yuguan, your mother is too cautious. Even though she is a step-wife, don't be too weak. Next time, she will directly come forward and go back, you know? You should also show the momentum of our noble daughters!"

Seeing that everyone brought up the "disgusting incident" a few days ago, Cheng Yulou's face was unnatural for a moment, but he still cupped his hands to express his gratitude to everyone.

"Several sisters, I know, I won't do it in the future. Next time..."

"thump"

"Oops, someone really fell into the water!"

Before Cheng Yulou finished speaking, suddenly, someone really fell into the water.

Cheng Yuguan, who hadn't gone far, heard the words, and immediately ran over to investigate, and saw that there were people thumping in the water under the wooden corridor, Cheng Yuguan jumped into the water to save them without saying a word.
