Chapter 35: Handsome men often have short lives
"You... why don't you pull me up quickly!" Huang Ying'er glared at Yun Li fiercely, then turned to the maid behind her and said angrily
The two young ladies beside them were also pulled up by their maids.
At first, the people in the pavilion, including Yun Wei, did not react. When they saw the three people kneeling down, they were dumbfounded. They just stood there and watched, confused and bewildered.
Huang Ying'er stood up and pointed at Yun Li: "What bad things have you done to me?"
Yun Li shook her head. "Miss Huang is really wronging me. I was standing there perfectly still. I don't know what happened. There are so many people watching me. What can I do..."
Wei Sisi, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, said, "If it weren't for you, I would be standing perfectly still. Why would I kneel down?"
Yun Wei looked at Yun Li and said, "Sister, is it really not you? I don't mean to doubt you. It's just that the sisters just asked you to bow to them, and they knelt in front of you. This is really too strange. Don't blame me for not speaking up for you..."
Tsk tsk~ Yun Li really wants to applaud her! Yun Wei is amazing! While dragging her into the water, she disguises her own personality! She is really a green tea fighter, a top-level white lotus!
Yun Li was about to open her mouth to curse, but several young masters from aristocratic families in the pavilion could no longer bear it and stepped forward to help Yun Li.
"Alright, if you can't stand firmly, don't bully the Third Miss. We all saw that the Third Miss just stood there quietly and did nothing..."
"That's right, don't bully me just because you're the legitimate daughter. There are so many eyes watching us. How can a weak woman like her make the three of you kneel down at the same time? This is too absurd..."
"Yeah, it's not a big deal, just an incident, don't take it to heart! Don't embarrass the Third Miss."
Yun Wei and the others looked embarrassed, and Yun Li couldn't stop smiling under her veil. Look, these men really have sharp eyes... She finally understood why those men like green tea and white lotus... Showing weakness and pretending to be weak can arouse men's desire to protect them.
Haha...looking at the expressions of the few people who looked like they had eaten shit, she could hardly hold it back any longer.
The only regret was that Yun Wei had escaped a disaster just now. If she hadn't been standing in a row with her, making it impossible for her to do anything, she would have made Yun Wei kneel down to her...
Humph, let's make things difficult for her. Just wait and see.
"Gentlemen, thank you for speaking your mind!"
Yun Li turned around and left the pavilion without even looking at Yun Wei and the others.
After this incident, the reputation of the third daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion spread throughout the capital.
She came to the place she wanted to go just now, strolled in the garden, and felt that the air was much fresher after leaving the pavilion. She admired the flowers and plants, and her mood became much better.
With so many flowers and plants, if there were fewer, they wouldn't be noticed... She has space, so even if there are fewer, no one would suspect it was her...
Thinking in her heart, she just did it. Since there was no one around, she only picked some expensive potted plants that she had never seen before.
Pretending to be looking at flowers, Yunli glanced at Yingtao and Baizhi who were also admiring the flowers carefully and studying them from time to time. She walked around behind them and began to pick flowers.
The sleeves are wide and they cover the flower pots completely when they are lifted up. The hand can be put into the space instantly.
She picked and chose as she walked along, but not all flowers caught her eye. So the flowers she received in her space were only a few dozen.
I estimate that there are thousands of pots of flowers to enjoy today. If a few dozen are missing, it really won’t be noticeable...
"The Empress has arrived! The Virtuous Consort has arrived! The Good Consort has arrived! The Shu Consort has arrived! The Virtuous Consort has arrived!"
The eunuch's shrill voice shouted
The ladies and gentlemen present all knelt down and saluted.
"May the Empress be well! May the Virtuous Consort be well, may the Good Consort be well, may the Shu Consort be well, may the Virtuous Consort be well."
Yun Li also turned around and looked at the crowd. She was not in the crowd and her position was far away from the pavilion, so she just leaned forward slightly to show her respect.
The Empress's presence is truly grand! She is dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe and looks like the queen of the country. With delicate makeup on her face and a gentle smile, her every move is dignified and elegant.
The four ladies following behind him were all beautiful and charming. Yun Li could see that the golden crowns and pearl hairpins on each of their heads were dazzling, exquisite and luxurious.
Behind them are the ladies of various noble families. It seems that they went to pay their respects to the Queen and the concubines of each palace as soon as they entered the palace.
There was no imperial decree prohibiting them from entering the palace on weekdays, so holding a banquet in the palace was also the best opportunity for the wives of officials to build relationships.
"Everyone, please stand up. Today is the Spring Banquet. I hope everyone will enjoy themselves and not be restrained!"
Next to the pavilion was an open space with tables and chairs placed on both sides. Led by the palace maids, everyone sat down in turn.
Yun Wei is the daughter of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is the head of all officials, so her seat is the front. Today, the Prime Minister's wife did not come, so Yun Wei was arranged to sit in the first seat in the first row below the Queen's right hand, and Yun Li sat in the second seat next to Yun Wei.
There was a small table between the two of them, on which were placed tea and some exquisite snacks.
Just as everyone sat down, the eunuch's shrill voice rang out again.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has arrived, His Royal Highness the Prince of Duan has arrived, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has arrived!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone stood up and saluted respectfully.
Yun Li just felt very irritated. She hated the way the ancients would kneel and salute at every turn... It was so annoying.
The prince waved his hand and said with a smile, "Everyone, please stand up! Don't be restrained! I'm here to join in the fun like everyone else!"
Yun Li leaned back in her chair and casually glanced at the princes opposite her.
The men were arranged on the opposite side, with the ladies and wives on the right and the princes and sons of various families on the left. The seats were also arranged in order of rank.
Among the princes, she had only seen Prince Duan. In fact, they all looked pretty good, with good looks and good figures. Each of them was a typical ancient man!
After all, there are no ugly people in the royal family. Their mothers were all carefully selected to enter the palace.
Suddenly, a face appeared in her mind. Yes, she had seen the most handsome men. Compared with the man that night, these people present were still a step behind.
The days passed so comfortably and fulfillingly that she almost forgot what happened the night she first crossed over.
Tsk tsk~ Thinking of that face and that muscular body, what a pity, ah~ God is jealous of men's beauty, since ancient times, beautiful men have had short lives...
The Queen sat in the main seat, looked at the princes with a smile and asked, "Isn't the Prince here today?"
The prince said, "Mother, you know that my fourth brother doesn't like crowds, so just let him be. Let's get started."
The Spring Festival Banquet is divided into three parts: the first is talent show, the second is banquet, and the last is flower viewing.
