The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 82 Practice Banquet

Wei Haoyou originally wanted to tell Li Sister-in-law about the promise made by Empress Wu, and wanted to discuss with her a countermeasure, but when he arrived at Princess Yingsu's mansion, he learned that Li Sister-in-law was invited by Zhong Yan and Mu Jinglian. It's time to leave the mansion, and after an empty trip, I can only return to the fifth prince's mansion in disappointment.

On the day of the practice banquet, Li Sister-in-law called Yunyu and Bo Liuzi to dress and change her clothes early in the morning. The banquet is gone.

The banquet is still held in the Chengfu Hall, because it is not yet the time for the banquet, and the banquet is being held in the Chengfu Hall, and the married women or noble ladies of the advanced palace are chatting in the pavilions and pavilions of the Imperial Garden in twos and threes, or looking for some fun to pass time.

Not long after Li Meiying entered the palace, the eldest princess and Yang Xianling also arrived. Yang Xianling found Li Meiying and asked Li Meiying to salute in a proper manner before sitting down with Li Meiying to talk.

As Li Xueshang, Mu Jinglian and the others arrived one after another, Yang Xianling gradually became unable to intervene. Thinking that she had other things to do, she casually found an excuse to leave.

Guo Mengzhen has a straight temper and especially dislikes Yang Xianling. When she saw that she had finally left, she said with disdain: "You are really a hypocrite. When the princess was attacked by rumors, why didn't you see her go to the princess's house to have a look? It's all right now, so I came here to make a move." Look like a sister who loves you, who will you pretend to be?"

After listening to Guo Mengzhen's words, Li Meizhen couldn't help it, she laughed and said, "On weekdays, I see Mengzhen, you are gentle and gentle, but I didn't expect that when her mouth is also good, I just know whether she is sincere or not, it doesn't matter. It's not worth getting angry at someone like that."

When Guo Mengzhen heard the words, she stuck out her tongue and said, "What the princess said is true, but I just can't understand her."

"If you don't like it, just keep it in your heart. You don't have to write it on your face. You are already engaged, and you are still so childish. What will you do when you marry into your husband's family in the future?" Li Xueshang shook her head helplessly when she heard this. , and laughed jokingly.

As soon as the engagement was mentioned, Guo Mengzhen blushed and shut her mouth embarrassingly.Li Meizhen saw this scene in her eyes, with a soft smile on her face, but real envy in her eyes.

Mu Jinglian at the side had a panoramic view of Li Meiying's expression, she didn't say anything, but quietly held Li Meiying's hand that was placed under the table.

As soon as her hand was warm, Li Meizhen turned her head in surprise, and met Mu Jinglian's eyes with a gentle smile. At this moment, she felt her heart warmed up, and she held Mu Jinglian's hand, and smiled back.

"Ah!" Bo Liuzi who was standing behind Li Meiying suddenly let out an exclamation, and drew their eyes away, only to see Bo Liuzi bent over to pick up a sachet and handed it to Li Meiying, saying: " Princess, this seems to be Miss Yang's sachet."

Li Meizheng looked at the sachet in Bo Liuzi's hand, after confirming it, she nodded and said: "It is indeed hers, you keep it well, if you meet her after the banquet, return it to her."

When Bo Liuzi heard this, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he put away the sachet with a smile on his face.

Li Meiying deliberately pretended not to notice, but Li Xueshang, who was on the side, had sharp eyes and saw that Bo Liuzi was disappointed because she couldn't return the sachet immediately. Suddenly she seemed to think of something, shook her head secretly, and smiled at Li The sister-in-law said: "This sachet is a personal item, so it is not easy to lose it. Let this girl deliver it to Miss Yang, so that Miss Yang will not be anxious when she finds out that the sachet is lost."

Seeing Li Xueshang opened her mouth, Li Meizhen couldn't say anything more, so she turned her head to Bo Liuzi and said, "What Miss Li said is, you go and return the sachet to Miss Yang."

Bo Liuzi glanced at Li Xueshang gratefully, saluted Li Sister-in-law, and hurried to the place where Yang Xianling disappeared.

"Xiao'er, you won't blame me for meddling in my own business!" Li Xueshang looked at Bo Liuzi's back, and said a little uneasy.

A look of strangeness flashed in Li Meiying's eyes, and then she said nonchalantly: "This is nosy, I was careless, or you were thoughtful."

Hearing what Li Meiying said, Li Xueshang heaved a sigh of relief, and then smiled indifferently: "I saw the disappointed look in that girl's eyes just now, so I guessed that she must be annoyed by your blocking, which made her lose one." A chance to ask Yang Xianling for a reward. After all, he didn't come out of your house, his eyelids are too shallow."

Li Meiying heard that something flashed through her mind, but she couldn't catch it quickly. She responded with a smile on her face, "It's better that you are thoughtful, and you will let her go. She won the reward, and it won't be too late." Blame me for blocking her way of making money." After Li Meiying finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and picked up the tea on the table, but her expression became thoughtful.

Neither Li Xueshang nor Guo Mengzhen noticed anything unusual about Li Sister-in-law, nor did Mu Jinglian who was on the side. At this time, several noble ladies came over, and the attention of the three of them was attracted, until the sound of greetings sounded, Li Sister-in-law Only after she came to her senses, she signaled to the noble ladies who came to pay her respects that they would be excused, and Li Sister-in-law chatted and laughed with everyone as if nothing had happened.

After sitting for a while, she claimed to go to the toilet, took Yunyu and left for a while, and when she came back, Bo Liuzi had turned around and was quietly waiting aside, but there was obviously an unspeakable joy on her face.

The calm and calm continued until the banquet began. In Chengfu Hall, amidst the sound of singing and dancing, ministers continued to toast to Li Yi and his son and An Guogong. After all, the two were about to marry their sons and daughters. Soon, it is naturally not appropriate to show your face in public, so you did not participate in this banquet.

Li Yi seemed to be in high spirits. Li Dingkang's expression was much colder in comparison. On the other side, Li Changning, who was surrounded by all the noble ladies vying to please him, cast a pair of winking eyes at Wei Haoyou from time to time. Uneasy, but also a little anxious, as if waiting for him to express something.

Li Meizhen naturally knew what Li Changning was waiting for, Li Yi and his son were under her control, she was not afraid of any changes, but Yang Xianling and Wu Haolong made her feel confused for a while.

Not long after the banquet started, Yang Xianling found Li Sister-in-law's side and pestered her to talk. Li Sister-in-law couldn't get away for a while, but in the middle of the banquet, Yang Xianling's face turned pale suddenly, and she clutched her stomach and moved closer to Li Sister Xie whispered in his ear: "Xin'er, I seem to be menstruating, and my stomach hurts so much, can you accompany me to Yilan Pavilion next to Chengfu Hall to deal with it."

Seeing that her face was pale and her hands were cold, Li Meizhen didn't seem to be pretending, and she would not refuse when people begged her, so she called Bo Liuzi and Yunyu to support Yang Xianling quietly. Leaving through the side door of Chengfu Hall.

Yilan Pavilion is right next to the Chengfu Hall, and there are several wing rooms in it, which are specially used for people to rest. Li Meiying accompanied Yang Xianling into a random room, and placed Yang Xianling on the beauty couch. Instruct Yang Xianling's accompanying maid to go to the carriage to get a change of clothes and items for menstruation.
