C45

Not long later, Qiu Xuanling and Ye Mingyue arrived.

Both of them were madams, and they sat on equal footing. The silver and food that the Prince's estate had given them were the same. But Ye Mingyue's family was extremely rich, and the clothes and accessories she had were all expensive, although Qiu Xuanling was an official, her father was not that old. She always followed behind Zhao Taizhu to ask for some small matters, thus her clothes were not as bright and beautiful as Ye Mingyue's. Fortunately, she was usually smiling and seemed to have very few worries. She would often hum a small tune by herself and happily run around in front of everyone.

The two of them walked over. Ye Mingyue carried her pipa and walked slowly, the corner of her skirt swaying gently with her footsteps.

Qiu Xuanling was holding onto a red peony in her hand. Seeing the person over here, her almond eyes lit up, and she ran over quickly while carrying her skirt. She first paid her respects to Yulixiao and Chen Yao, then ran in front of Sulanqi, tilted her head, and asked him with a smile, "King Qi, I heard that you gave that white peacock to Big Sister Yu Yan! Do you have more? Give me one as well. "

"Oh, there's only one, but Miss Yu Yan doesn't like it." King Qi said with a smile.

"Then give that big sister Yu Yan to me, I really like it." Qiu Xuanling hurried over to Yu Yan's side and held her arm for a light shake.

"Sure, get someone to carry it." Yu Yan nodded with a smile.

"That's great! Big Sister is so nice! " Qiu Xuanling was so happy that she sat beside her on the stone chair.

Only at this point did Ye Mingyue slowly walk over and pay her respects to the few of them. Then, he walked to Yulixiao's side and stood, and lightly brushed her hands on's clothes and pushed the white hair on her shoulders behind him. Her movements were very natural.

The Steward Fu had already brought the servants over to place the delicious food and wine on the table. Chen Yao turned in the direction of the wheelchair and personally held the pot, pouring two cups full of strong wine.

"King Qi, sit down." Yulixiao raised his hand and said to King Qizhi.

Sulanqi lifted his robe and sat opposite of him. She glanced at the dishes on the table, pointed to two of them and praised: "This Huai An Cuisine is the hardest dish to make, especially these two, they use ingredients meticulously and are extremely difficult to control. It's rare that they are so delicious and delicious, not bad, not bad!"

"This King's cooks are all invited by the thousands, and are good at cooking famous dishes in the world." Yulixiao laughed and raised his glass to him.

"King Xiao does indeed know how to use good things." Sulanqi laughed heartily as she raised the jade cup with both of her hands.

"Mingyue, play a song with the profound spirit to cheer up the prince." Chen Yao laughed and turned her head, looking at the two and said.

"Yes." The two of them bowed and walked to the small table.

The servants set the chairs down and Ye Mingyue sat down. She lightly pulled the strings with her fingers, glanced at Qiu Xuanling, and asked softly: "Little sister, what are you singing for?"

"Mmm, let's sing 'Qingjia'." Qiu Xuanling smiled as she lifted her sleeves. Her waist bent to the right and she assumed a posture.

As the few of them watched, Ye Mingyue's fingers quickly flicked, and with a turn of hherwaist, she stood with her back facing them, her face slightly turned, and his vermilion lips opened.

"Outside the west window, the swallows in front of the hall dance, accompanied by two flying birds by the green water bridge, cutting candles is difficult to break the silk of love, looking forward to the court in front of the small building, Yuan Yuan …"

Qiu Xuanling danced lightly as she sang in a melodious voice.

She had an extremely good voice, Yu Yan had heard her last time at the temple. If her father was just a common official, yet she was chosen by Imperial Concubine Ronxin for her own use, it meant that her singing must have been astonishing, surpassing even the childish voice from her previous visit to the palace.

He never thought that her dance would be so good, and that she would even be able to sing so smoothly amidst the wild and passionate dance. This was called the foundation of one's skills, and it was unknown how many years he had practiced it, or how many times he had sung it aloud.

Needless to say, Ye Mingyue's pipa, she tilted her head slightly, squinted her eyes, and threw herself in.

She was a woman who truly loved the sound of the lute. With a flick of her finger, her entire body shone with brilliance. Her usual cool appearance was completely gone, causing people to uncontrollably fall in love with her.

Yu Yan caressed the peony in her hair and watched coldly by the side. Yulixiao was staring at Ye Mingyue with a glint of light flickering in his eyes. That was why he let Ye Mingyue choose her from the crowd of beauties to accompany him for a long time, and even allowed him to share with her the secret that he was not paralyzed or ugly, if not that Ye Mingyue was by her side.

Chen Yao's expression was very calm, but there was a slight trace of worry in her eyes. She held onto the wine jug with the jadeite inlay, and stood quietly by Yulixiao's side.

She did not possess any of these singing and dancing skills. She was just like Yu Yan, someone who could use a silver needle to save a person, or a normal blade of grass to send a person to the underworld. Unfortunately, Yu Yan was spoiled, but she did not.

Actually, everyone was a girl. Yu Yan did not understand why they had to make things difficult for each other, why they had to become enemies just for a man! She really wished that Yulixiao could pamper those girls!

The ground was covered with peonies and the flowers were filled with the fragrance of flowers. A few bees came in and danced around the peonies in her hair. She lifted her handkerchief and a bee landed on the handkerchief.

Yu Yan gasped, and quickly waved away the bee. With a light knit of her brows, she sucked the tip of her finger.

The Steward Fu saw that Yulixiao was staring at her and smiled, then said loudly: "These bees love to smell good, I didn't expect them to be able to recognize pretty girls, they didn't go on anyone's body and only went on top of Miss Yu Yan, I think Lady Yu Yan's smell would be the best."

After the praise came out, Yulixiao was not happy at all. He only glanced at him coldly, then locked his eyebrows together after being cut off by Dao Ba. The scar on his face immediately twisted, and no one dared to look at him directly. Steward Fu did not dare to say more as he quickly bent down and retreated to the side.

Yu Yan took off the flowers above her head and threw them on the ground, as if the bees were attracted by the flowers. Then, she used her handkerchief to wipe her finger a few times.

The lute and the song were coiled around each other like a lover's gaze, intoxicating the hearts of the people. Yu Yan unconsciously raised her head and saw Sulanqi staring at her. She could not help but crease her eyebrows in disgust and turned her body. This was also a crazy pervert, right? Because she was someone from Xuanleng, the empress dowager's nephew dared to act rashly in the empress dowager's palace.

Suddenly, the bees from the flowers flew towards Qiu Xuanling's body. Qiu Xuanling jumped in fright, waved her sleeves, and hid behind her servant while screaming.

Ye Mingyue moved slower, the lute smashing onto the tip of her feet, she screamed in pain, and when she stood up, she stepped on her skirt again, causing her body to fall onto the ground, with bees surrounding her and bees clamoring.

The bees were not satisfied with just the two of them, and rushed towards Yulixiao and Sulanqi who were sitting down. The two of them quickly waved their sleeves to hide, and Yu Yan used his sleeves to protect her face and hid under the table.

"Aiyo, quick, someone, get rid of these bees." Steward Fu jumped as he tried to throw himself at Yue Yang, screaming in panic.

Sulanqi and Yulixiao could naturally protect themselves, but Yu Yan was currently hiding under the table and wanted to hide. The two of them reached out their hands at the same time to protect her. When the tip of her finger touched it, Yulixiao's eyes immediately darkened with killing intent.

Sulanqi immediately felt his killing intent and quickly retracted her hand. With a wave of her sleeve, she opened up the bees that were charging towards him.

At this time, Yu Yan had already crawled under the table and was peeping from the cracks. At the same time, Chen Yao was being chased and screamed by the bees. The corner of her lips lifted slightly as she smiled in her heart.

When she came out, she didn't put it down, but put it in her belt. Just now, when the bees came to bite her, she knew that the snow clam paste was not that easy to use, so she opened it up — since everyone was in the palace, why not share the good fortune and the bees!

After a moment of confusion, the guards and servants rushed up and lit torches to smoke them, using clothes soaked in water to pounce on them. After a long period of busy work, they finally dispersed the bees.

Ye Mingyue stung her the most and when everyone helped her, whose arms were covered with red packets, she was so scared that her face had already turned pale. If they did not cover her face with their hands, her face would have been ruined. She sobbed miserably and pitifully pulled down her silk sleeves, refusing to let anyone see her ugly arms as she kept saying, "Why is it only me?"

"It also stung me." Qiu Xuanling pointed at her cheeks with a sullen look. She ran fast and hid behind the servants, so she only stung them a few times.

Yu Yan also crawled out from underneath the table, patted on the dust on her skirt, and stood in the middle of the group.

"What exactly is going on? How can it attract so many bees? " Yulixiao looked at the crowd and shouted.

No one dared to make a sound as they kneeled on the ground.

Chen Yao walked forward, plucked the flower flowers on Qiu Xuanling's head and threw them on the ground, then whispered: "Or maybe this flower is too fragrant, attracting so many berserk bees, quickly bring the few ladies back, let me show you."

"Elder sister, then will my face be ruined?" Qiu Xuanling covered his face and cried as she asked her.

"No, I'm here." Chen Yao lightly patted her arm and softly consoled her. She was fine, however. Since she was young, when she came into contact with medicine, not only were they immune to poisons, at the very least, these mosquitoes and snakes did not dare to approach her.

Ye Mingyue started crying even harder. She covered her face with her sleeves and quickly walked back. To lose face in front of so many people, this was a huge blow to her pride. No wonder she was crying like this.

Steward Fu instructed everyone to clean up the mess on the ground. Suddenly, Yulixiao saw a lump of snow on the ground, and asked:

"What is this?"

Steward Fu hurried over and picked up the thing. He held it in front of Yulixiao and said, "My prince, it seems to be balsam.

Chen Yao's expression changed. Just as she was about to make a sound, Yu Yan had already walked over quickly and received the item, saying in a low voice: "This is the sacred medicine that Mrs. Yao threw for me just now. It must have been lost while running around just now, luckily it wasn't broken.

Yulixiao turned to look at Chen Yao. Her face was slightly red as he turned his head away uncomfortably.

"All of you, leave." Yulixiao waved his hand and told everyone to leave.

Sulanqi cupped her fist at this moment, and said in a low voice: "Since Madam is injured, Little Wang will take my leave first.

"Send King Qizhi out." Yulixiao nodded and instructed the Steward Fu.

Steward Fu quickly stepped forward and respectfully led Sulanqi out.

Yu Yan looked at his back, and suddenly felt that something was amiss. Why would Chen Yao use such a clumsy method to deal with her? Being stung a few times by a bee wouldn't make her lose much. Could it be that along with the bee venom, there would be some terrifying consequences? She raised her finger and looked at the place where she had been stung. Her fingertip was red and swollen; the pain was unbearable.

"Help yourself to some pain." Yulixiao said coldly, pressed on the mechanism on the wheelchair and led the people out of the garden.

Yu Yan sat in the same spot for a while, but she still could not figure out what was fishy about it. Today, she put the blame on Chen Yao and warned him, making him unable to refute her. Even if Yulixiao wanted to punish them, they would have to do it on their own, or they could only pretend that they didn't know anything, that no one was going to get away with it, and this matter would end like this.
