At noon, the banquet began. Everyone entered the banquet. The banquet was divided into upper, middle, and lower seats according to the official positions in the court. The male guests and female guests were also arranged separately for the banquet. Of course, because Lin Xiyang had always been easy-going and never put on airs, he treated everyone equally. Therefore, the dishes at each table were not divided into grades and were all the same. This made some of the lower-ranking people in the court very touched.
After all, many people in high positions never took small figures like them seriously and even ordered them around. Because of this, even though Lin Xiyang had just returned to the capital, he was already deeply popular. Perhaps, this was also the reason why Lin Xiyang was able to raise his status to a new high within a few years.
Leng Yun Ge and Madame Lin were naturally arranged to sit at the top table. Because Leng Yun Ge and Liu Xinping had always been close, although she should have been sitting at the middle table, because of Leng Yun Ge, she also sat at the top table and ate with Leng Yun Ge.
Su Yuhe sat in the middle seat. She looked at Leng Yunge, who was sitting in the middle seat, with jealousy and hatred in her eyes. The unwillingness in her heart seemed to be written on her face.
She felt that she wasn't worse than Leng Yun Ge, but Leng Yun Ge always got the best of everything, and what she got was never as good as what she got. Suddenly, she had a vicious plan in her heart. Thinking of this, she looked at Leng Yun Ge with a sinister gaze, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a sinister smile.
However, all of this did not escape Leng Yunge's eyes. She remembered that in her previous life, it was also this banquet. After everyone dispersed, they had afternoon tea in the back garden.
Su Yuhe secretly put knockout powder in her tea and then sent her to the guest room to rest. She tried to slander her for having an affair with a man. Fortunately, Ying Xue found out quickly and took her out of the guest room to escape the disaster.
Since even the heavens wanted to lend her a hand, she naturally would not let down such a good opportunity to fulfill her goal. Leng Yunge laughed in her heart. Perhaps this was the so-called mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
On the other end, Mo Qianyu, Mo Qianchen, and the others were sitting at the highest seats with Lin Xiyang and his son.
"Fourth brother, your joyous occasion is approaching. The banquet is filled with your future elders, so you have to properly drink with the old generals.”Mo Qianchen sat at the table, twirling the wine glass in his hand as he teased.
"Of course." Mo Qianyu seemed to enjoy what Mo Qianchen had said. When he heard that someone was related to Leng Yunge's family, he was delighted. So, he stood up and toasted Lin Xiyang and his son one by one. He drank three glasses of white wine in one go.
"Fourth brother really has a good alcohol tolerance. Ninth brother here also toasts fourth brother. I hope fourth brother will rise up step by step.”Mo Qianchen said to Mo Qianyu humbly as he raised his wine glass.
Seeing how humble Mo Qianchen was in front of him, he was very proud and downed another glass of white wine.
Throughout the banquet, Mo Qianchen used all sorts of excuses to tempt Mo Qianyu to drink. Other people came to toast him and said many things that made him feel good. Because he was in a good mood today, he drank a lot. After three rounds of drinking, Mo Qianyu finally lost her alcohol and passed out.
Seeing that he was finally drunk, Mo Qianchen smiled meaningfully and said," I'm afraid Fourth Brother is drunk. Let's help him to the guest room to rest for a while."”
Lin Xiyang nodded and said," The Ninth Prince is right.”After saying that, he called for the servants and said," Help the Fourth Prince to the upper room to rest."”
The two servants responded and helped Mo Qianyu out of the banquet.
After the banquet ended, the womenfolk went to the back garden to admire the flowers and chat.
"The dishes today are really not bad. As expected of the Great General's Estate. Everything is the best.”a young lady said.
"Of course. I heard that today's dishes are the same as those of the upper seats.”Another daughter replied.
"Eldest Young Master Lin and Second Young Master Lin are truly graceful. I heard that the two brothers are both skilled in both martial arts and literature.”
Everyone enjoyed the flowers and drank tea while discussing the banquet with relish. Some said that the dishes today were first-class and almost like the banquet in the palace. Some said that the two young masters of the Lin family were handsome and divine.
"Did you have fun today?" Leng Yun Ge said to Liu Xinping as she took a sip of the freshly brewed tea.
Liu Xinping also took a sip of tea and said," Of course I'm happy. If it wasn't for that Second Young Master Lin ruining my good mood, I'm sure I would be even happier.”Thinking of Lin Qianchi, she felt very nervous.
Leng Yun Ge was stunned. Could it be that they were the so-called natural enemies? Why was Liu Xinping so disgusted with her second cousin when she had just met him? Or... no fight, no friendship? Enemies?
"The flowers over there are really beautiful. Let's go over and take a look.”Leng Yunge pointed at a cluster of purple cherry blossoms not far away and said with a smile.
Walking with Liu Xinping to the side of the cherry blossom bushes, Leng Yunge casually picked the most beautiful cherry blossom and placed it diagonally beside Liu Xinping's temples.
"It's really beautiful." Leng Yun Ge clapped his hands and shouted.
The purple cherry blossoms on Liu Xinping's hair made her look even more elegant and refined. Suddenly, a butterfly flew to the top of her head and flew around her hair bun.
It made Liu Xinping look like a flower fairy, like a dream. Leng Yunge couldn't help but be stunned. At this moment, Liu Xinping was so beautiful with every frown and smile.
All of this was seen by Lin Qianchi who was not far away. His heart throbbed for a moment, a feeling he had never felt before.
At this time, Su Yuhe took advantage of this opportunity to silently put something into Leng Yunge's teacup.
However, all of her actions did not escape Ying Xue's eyes.
Returning to her seat, Leng Yunge took a sip of tea and said," Sister, could it be that a fairy has descended to the mortal world? You're so beautiful that even a woman like me is moved by you.”Leng Yunge put down the teacup and said excitedly.
"Sister, you're making fun of me again." Liu Xinping's cheeks blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. She had attracted so many people to look at her just now, making her very nervous. She was originally a well-behaved lady, so she naturally did not like to be the center of attention.
Suddenly, Leng Yunge pressed her head and said," I don't know why, but I suddenly feel dizzy.”
Su Yuhe, who was not far away, saw this and felt a trace of pleasure in her heart. Today, she must destroy this b * tch Leng Yunge, she thought to herself.
"Miss, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to rest in the guest room for a while?”Ying Xue bent down and asked in a low voice.
"I think you didn't have a lunch break today and are a little tired. It's good to rest in the guest room.”Leng Yun Ge seemed to be very uncomfortable as she struggled to finish speaking.
"Sister, are you alright? Do you want me to help you?" The smile on Liu Xinping's face froze as she asked with concern.
"It's fine. You play here for a while. I'll go and rest. I think I'll be fine in a while.”Leng Yun Ge said softly.
"Don't worry, Miss Liu. I'll take good care of you.”Ying Xue said as she helped Leng Yun Ge up.
"Okay, then I'll leave my sister to you. You must take good care of her. Don't let anything happen to her.”Liu Xinping instructed.
Leng Yun Ge felt warmth in her heart. From the beginning to the end, Liu Xinping had been sincerely concerned about that person of hers.
Ying Xue supported the dizzy Leng Yunge and slowly walked to the guest room, closing the door behind her.
"Miss, the people over there said that everything is ready.”Ying Xue helped Leng Yun Ge sit down and whispered to Leng Yun Ge.
Leng Yunge was in good spirits at this time. She was not weak at all due to dizziness." Then, let's just wait and watch a good show."”
Ying Xue was still puzzled. No matter what the Fourth Prince was, he was the best. Why did her young miss hate him so much?
"Miss, don't you regret it?”Ying Xue stood at the side and said.
"If I had married him as scheduled, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.”Leng Yunge said indifferently as he retracted the smile on his face.
The master and servant were chatting in the room. After about a cup of tea's time, they heard movements outside.
Ying Xue heard the voice and quietly walked to the door. She looked at the situation outside and turned back.
"Miss, as you expected, they are here.”
"Then, the show is about to begin.”Leng Yun Ge's lips curled up into a wicked smile. She couldn't be blamed for being despicable. She learned that from you guys, she thought to herself.
Thus, the master and servant walked to the window. Ying Xue quietly opened a small hole in the window so that she could see everything that was happening outside.
A group of wealthy ladies and daughters came to the guest room. Madame Lin and Liu Xinping were among them. The anxiety in Madame Lin's eyes could not be concealed. Liu Xinping also looked very anxious.
Thinking about it, Su Yuhe exaggerated the seriousness of the matter in order to attract everyone to see Leng Yunge make a fool of himself.
"Hey, come here." Su Yuhe raised a hand and pointed at a servant not far away as she ordered.
When the servant saw that someone was calling him, he did not dare to be negligent. After a while, he jogged in front of everyone.
"Just now, Miss Leng said that she was dizzy and came to the guest room to rest. The Prime Minister's wife just came to find her and found out that she was not feeling well. She was very worried. The sisters present were also very worried and wanted to see if she was better.”Su Yuhe raised her head and looked down at the manservant in front of her. In her eyes, these servants were all lowly things. Naturally, they were not worthy of her, a noble young lady, to treat them nicely.
"Yes, just now, this lowly one arranged a guest room for Miss Leng to rest in. This lowly one will bring the Furen and Young Ladies over now.”The servant hurriedly bowed and nodded. As he spoke, he led everyone to a superior room. Leng Yunge's heart was filled with joy. At the same time, she was also very nervous. Soon, the most soul-stirring scene was about to unfold. Her fate was about to be rewritten.
No one knew that the servant who led everyone to find her was someone Mo Qianchen had bribed. Everything was going according to the plan they had secretly discussed a few days ago. She was looking forward to the next second. Her heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
