After Princess Jiaojiao was reborn, the little general’s crematorium

Chapter 10 Banquet
  Helian Jingxi was in a good mood after solving this matter, and immediately issued the order.

Soon after the news spread, the entire capital was shocked.

A little-known boy, Chu Chuanping, jumped from a fifth-rank petty official to a second-rank official.

What's more, Chu Chuanping even held a banquet at home and invited guests to celebrate.

The emperor also sent someone from the palace to send 500 coins to celebrate.

Although the money is not much, it comes from the palace after all. Everyone began to speculate on the holy meaning.

No matter what, there is no harm in being on good terms with Chu Chuanping. Except for some top aristocratic families, basically all the prominent families and officials sent people here.

Not to mention flattering or not, at least you can't be against him.

This is the thought of all aristocratic families.

The emperor in the palace probably didn't expect that he could make others think so much just by giving a gift for the sake of the emperor's sister.

But the one who was even more puzzled than him was another person, Helian Wenyu.

"What's going on? Why has everything changed? There was obviously no such thing in the last life?"

Helian Wenyu was puzzled.

If you asked her who the great chief minister was in her previous life, she would not be able to answer the question for a while.

But at any rate, Chu Chuanping was considered a member of her faction, so this didn't seem to be bad news.

Since he is Helian Wenyu's person, Helian Wenyu will naturally participate in this banquet.

Unlike the princess who always arrives, in Xuefeng Kingdom, the royal family is not so arrogant and is more friendly to the people.

The people who participated in the banquet only found out about the participation of Her Royal Highness the Princess after the banquet started.

The eldest princess, Helian Wenyu, wore a red phoenix robe with a skirt that flowed nearly one meter, and she came dressed in nobility.

After all the officials saluted, Helian Wenyu said goodbye and asked everyone to eat and drink as usual.

However, due to the presence of the eldest princess, the originally warm atmosphere became quite rigid.

Seeing this, Chu Chuanping suggested: "Your Highness, how about we go to the inner courtyard to have dinner."

Senior officials of Xuefeng Kingdom usually have villas with two entrances and two exits, which are divided into inner courtyard and outer courtyard.

Under normal circumstances, the outer courtyard is the place where guests are received, while the inner courtyard is the place used by family members.

But now Helian Wenyu's status puts too much pressure on everyone, and the atmosphere cannot be relaxed at all.

Helian Wenyu didn't want to spoil Chu Chuanping's interest at this time, so she agreed after thinking briefly.

Accompanied by Chu Chuanping personally, Helian Wenyu moved to the inner courtyard of Chu Mansion.

As soon as Helian Wenyu left, the mountain that had been weighing on everyone's hearts disappeared instantly, and the atmosphere gradually became lively again.

When Chu Chuanping brought Helian Wenyu to the pavilion in the inner courtyard, Chu Chuanping stopped walking:
  "Your Highness, please rest here for a while. I will go to receive some guests and prepare a separate banquet for Your Highness."

Helian Wenyu rejected his kindness: "There is no need to prepare it for me alone, just be the same as everyone else."

"Yes, let me prepare snacks and tea first."

After that, Chu Chuanping said goodbye respectfully.

She was the only one in the spacious room. In the corner was a brand new wooden square table and seats.

Soon, the table was filled with all kinds of desserts and delicacies, followed by the continuous music of the palace pianist.

It is not difficult to see that after Chu Chuanping was promoted, he spent a lot more money.

As expected of a great farmer, she had plenty to eat and drink. She cooked almost every dish she could think of, and even the tea had a unique flavor.

"Chunhua, go get another pot of tea."

"Yes."

Chunhua heard this and pushed the door open.

She is the personal maid of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. She is by her side every day and is one of the people she trusts most.

I saw a woman dressed as a maid just in front of me, carrying tea. Chunhua quickly stopped this person: "Hello, how can I get to the waiter?"

"Who are you?" The other party did not respond, but looked at Chunhua suspiciously.

It stands to reason that the person who can enter the inner courtyard must be a distant relative or something like that. We have held such large banquets several times before, so we can't even find the location of the waiter, right?
  "Ah...I am the maid of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Although the eldest princess has a weird temper, she is always low-key and restrained when dealing with outsiders. She has even been told more than once not to reveal her identity unless necessary.

"From the eldest princess's residence?" The other party was obviously stunned, and then immediately put the teapot in Chunhua's hand, "Since we are serving Her Highness the eldest princess, I won't bother you to make an extra trip."

"Ah? Thank you."

Chunhua took the teapot, returned to the room, and filled up the tea for Helian Wenyu.

Time gradually passed in a cheerful atmosphere, and the music played leisurely, until...

"Ah, it's so hot!" was Helian Wenyu's exclamation.

"This slave deserves to die. I hope His Highness will forgive you." Chunhua knelt down quickly, not daring to breathe.

The music played by the violinist just now had something to do with her. When she was fascinated, the teapot in her hand tilted slightly, and the hot tea flowed out and fell on Helian Wenyu.

"Get up, go find some clothes for me." Helian Wenyu said with black lines on her face.

"Yes, slave, we are leaving now."

Seeing Chunhua kneeling and crawling away, there was no more feast in her heart, so she had no choice but to send the piano master away.

Something really went wrong. Before I even had anything to eat when I came out, my clothes got wet.

If someone sees him when he goes back, there might be some discussion.

A hot feeling surged into her chest, expanding and spreading to all parts of her body. She felt that the temperature of her whole body had risen several degrees, and her heartbeat was gradually speeding up.

In the huge room, her heartbeat was so harsh.

Why hasn’t Chunhua come back yet?

Is she usually so slow?

Helian Wenyu opened the door and decided to look for spring flowers.

"Your Highness, do you need to change clothes?" A gentle female voice came from the side, and the face of a little maid came into view.

"That's right, take me there quickly."

Her consciousness was constantly being swallowed up, and she felt that every step she took was very heavy.

Fortunately, the destination is not far away and we will arrive in a few minutes.

"Your Highness, please wait here for a moment."

The maid smiled and led Helian Wenyu into a room and left.

wrong!

There's something wrong with this water!
  There's something wrong with this maid!
  Helian Wenyu realized this problem belatedly.

The drink was drugged!

If I find out the culprit, you will be doomed!

I want your life to be worse than death!

She slapped the door frantically, only to find that it was locked.

Fortunately, the sky is the limit - the windows are open.

She jumped deftly and finally escaped from the room.

She ran away in a hurry, but she didn't understand the situation in Chu Chuanping's house. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, her brain became more and more confused, and she soon lost her way.

She only remembered the last second when she closed her eyes and accidentally came to a strange room.
