Chapter 418 Autumn Banquet (Part 2)
"Even if she has the intention, it's useless." Yuan Ziyu pursed her lips and smiled: "I still have great confidence in the prince."
Upon hearing this, Song Yuwen said enviously, "Sister Yuan, to be honest, I really envy you. You and the prince have been childhood sweethearts, so how could you say your relationship is so good? I only met that young man I'm engaged to once, and now I've almost forgotten him. I can't even remember if he was round or flat, let alone what kind of person he was."
Yuan Ziyu was really not good at comforting people, so seeing this, he could only say, "Everything in this world is about fate. Maybe you two are destined to be together."
"That's all I can think of." Song Yuwen sighed softly and pursed her lips, saying, "The kiss is already decided, so let's just do whatever we want. If we really can't get along, the worst that can happen is we can just get divorced."
Yuan Ziyu smiled gently as she looked at Song Yuwen. She was quite open-minded. She thought carefully about her past life. It was a pity that she was only busy with revenge in her past life and paid little attention to other things. She really knew nothing about the husband's family of this second Miss Song.
The two of them were talking in a harmonious atmosphere. Soon, all the noble ladies who came to attend the autumn banquet arrived.
Du Yun'er was a person who was very good at livening up the atmosphere. With just a few words, she had perked up the interest of all the noble ladies present. Moreover, the Du family's autumn banquet this time was different from that of other families. Not only did it include chrysanthemum appreciation, chrysanthemum wine, steamed crabs and various dishes, but it also arranged interesting and elegant small activities such as poetry meetings, painting clubs, and pitching pots, which allowed the noble ladies present to basically find something they were interested in doing.
"Sister Yuan, which one do you like to play?" Song Yuwen asked Yuan Ziyu with a smile.
Yuan Ziyou took a look and said with a smile, "Let's play pot tossing. I can't play those elegant games."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Du Yun'er's voice from the side: "Okay, okay, Sister Yuan, let's play pot tossing together. You don't know, I'm terrible at pot tossing. I'm lucky if I can get three out of ten arrows into the net. You must teach me the technique today."
"That's great, let's go together." Song Yuwen said with a smile.
At this time, the noble ladies had found their favorite games in twos and threes. There were also quite a few noble ladies at the pitching pot game. When they saw Yuan Ziyou and the other two coming over, they all smiled and said, "Oh, it's Miss Yuan Er. Miss Yuan Er is going to open our eyes."
Although Yuan Ziyu is not familiar with these noble ladies, she is now well-known in the circle of noble ladies in the capital. Whether it was her bravery in fighting the villains during the Lantern Festival or her fierceness in whipping Liu Xueqing in the Meng Mansion, the noble ladies still remember her vividly.
It is precisely because of this that now basically no one dares to challenge Yuan Ziyu. Instead, they are willing to make friends with Yuan Ziyu. After all, Yuan Ziyu is about to marry the prince of Xuanping Marquis. In the future, she will definitely be the wife of the Marquis. No matter Yuan Ziyu's martial arts level or the power of her husband's family, few people can compete with her. They must have nothing better to do to create such a powerful opponent for themselves.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Don't expect too much. If I mess up, it will be a huge embarrassment."
"No, no, we believe in Miss Yuan Er." The noble ladies responded with a smile.
Yuan Ziyu took the arrows handed to him by the maid with a smile, looked at the quiver a few meters away, narrowed his eyes, and threw the arrows in his hand one by one.
Yuan Ziyu had excellent eyesight, so such a game of pitching arrows was naturally no problem for him. In just a few moments, all ten arrows were thrown into the quiver without missing a single one.
"Wow! That's amazing!"
Seeing all the arrows being thrown into the quiver, the noble ladies watching couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Du Yun'er even came close to Yuan Ziyu and asked Yuan Ziyu to teach her the technique of throwing the arrows into the quiver.
This was not a difficult task, so Yuan Ziyu smiled and told Du Yuner some methods. Not only did Du Yuner suddenly understand, but the noble ladies around her also nodded in agreement.
After a few more rounds, Yuan Ziyu lost interest.
There was no other reason, it was just that these noble ladies were so enthusiastic that she could not handle it, so she quietly withdrew and prepared to go appreciate the chrysanthemums. It was October now and the chrysanthemums were in full bloom.
"Second Miss, I heard that the chrysanthemum wine in the Du Mansion is quite good." Qingzhi personally brought a glass of chrysanthemum wine to Yuan Ziyu and said with a smile.
Yuan Ziyou took the chrysanthemum wine, took a sip, and put it down, nodding and saying, "It's indeed fine."
However, it was not as good as the chrysanthemum wine she brewed herself in Qiongjiang Pavilion.
The master and servant were admiring the chrysanthemums and talking in low voices. Unfortunately, they always met annoying people.
Yu Fangyin and Liuxiang came over with a smile: "Miss Yuan Er, why don't you go play games, but instead come here to admire the chrysanthemums alone?"
"Didn't Miss Yu go either?" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile, looking at Yu Fangyin.
Yu Fangyin smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "I'm a bit old now. I can't play with the girls anymore, so I can only walk around by myself."
"Compared to Miss Yu, I'm also a little girl." Yuan Ziyu smiled and looked at Yu Fangyin's pale face: "Why did Miss Yu run up to me?"
Yuan Ziyu's words made Yu Fangyin feel a little embarrassed. She smiled dryly and said, "I thought that since we are relatives, I am closer to you than any other noble lady in this mansion, so I came to look for Second Miss Yuan. I didn't know that Second Miss Yuan was actually a little annoyed with me."
As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he looked like he was about to cry.
Seeing this, Yuan Ziyou sneered and said, "Miss Yu, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to pretend. I've told you straight up, I hate you. There's nothing I can do about it. Who allowed you to covet my brother Xi? Do you think I would have feelings for someone who covets my fiancé?"
"Second Miss Yuan, you..." Yu Fangyin didn't expect Yuan Ziyu to speak so directly. She was coveting Huo Xifei, but it was not justifiable. It was okay to say it in private, but being said so in person by Yuan Ziyu made Yu Fangyin feel a little embarrassed. Now, her eyes were really red.
In her heart, she was even more resentful towards Yuan Ziyu. If it weren't for Yuan Ziyu... if it weren't for the woman in front of her, she would definitely have won the favor of Master Huo.
Yu Fangyin barely suppressed the jealousy in her heart and said with a forced smile, "Second Miss Yuan, you misunderstood me."
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you know it, and I know it too." Yuan Ziyu said coldly.
"No, Second Miss Yuan, listen to me..." Yu Fangyin seemed to want to explain. At this moment, a maid from the Du Mansion came over with a tray and said with a smile, "You two ladies are here. I saw that you didn't drink tea, so I brought you some tea."
As he spoke, he brought the tray to Yuan Ziyu and Yu Fangyin.
However, I don’t know if the maid was not standing firmly or what, but the tray in her hand tilted, and two full cups of chrysanthemum tea splashed towards Yuan Ziyu and Yu Fangyin...
