Chapter 51: Banquet (Part 1) (Part 4)
For the next two days, Yuan Ziyu stayed in Wuyou Pavilion to make snacks and medicine pills. It took him two days to make all the snacks and medicine pills he needed.
When Huo Xi flew over on the third day, Yuan Ziyu handed him the prepared snack box and the pine box containing the pills.
The 20th was the day when Yuan Ziyu went to Prince Kang's mansion for a banquet.
Early in the morning, Madam Yuan personally asked about Yuan Ziyu's attire and carriage, and only let Yuan Ziyu leave the house when she was satisfied!
Yuan Ziyu felt helpless, but he also understood Madam Yuan's feelings, so he let her do as she pleased.
Prince Kang's Mansion was located in the inner city of the capital. The carriage took more than half an hour to arrive at the gate of Prince Kang's Mansion.
Qingying and Qingzhi helped Yuan Ziyu get off the carriage. Qingzhi then held up the food box. Qingying then stepped forward and handed the invitation to the doorman: "My young lady is the second daughter of the Yuan family. She is here to attend the plum blossom viewing banquet at the invitation of Princess Linyang."
The man took the note, glanced at it, and immediately said with a smile, "It's Miss Yuan Er. Please come in."
At this time, a girl who looked like a maid came over. She was wearing a red silk jacket, a green satin vest, and a light green skirt.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Yuan Er?" the woman asked with a smile.
"It's our girl!" Qingying said.
The woman smiled and bowed to Yuan Ziyu, saying, "I am the servant Suiyin, greeting the Second Miss Yuan. The princess has ordered me to wait here for the Second Miss Yuan. Please follow me."
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Thank you for your help!"
The broken sound led Yuan Ziyu into the second gate and came to a plum forest.
This plum forest is not small. It is the first month of the lunar year and the red plum blossoms in the forest are in full bloom. When the wind blows, bursts of fragrance are wafted across the air.
The broken sound led Yuan Ziyu and his two servants into the plum forest. After turning several corners, they arrived at an exquisite pavilion.
There were three young girls sitting in the pavilion, one of whom was Princess Linyang.
There were some snacks and fragrant tea on the bluestone table in the pavilion, and there were braziers around it. Seven or eight maids were serving around.
"My Lady, Miss Yuan Er is here!" Suiyin saluted the woman in the pavilion.
Upon hearing this, Princess Linyang turned around and saw Yuan Ziyu. She smiled and said, "You should be here soon. Come and sit down!"
Yuan Ziyou walked into the pavilion with a smile and bowed to Princess Linyang, saying, "Ziyou greets Princess Linyang!"
Princess Linyang quickly said, "Since I invited you to this plum blossom viewing banquet, I consider you my sister. There's no need for such formalities between us sisters. Please sit down quickly!"
Yuan Ziyu declined the invitation.
Princess Linyang then said to the two women, "You two already know about this Second Miss Yuan."
After saying that, he smiled at Yuan Ziyu and said, "These two, one is Miss He from He Shaobao's family, and the other is Miss Zhang from General Zhang's family!"
After saying this, he laughed again and said, "There's no need to be restrained when we're together. You know me. I don't like those roundabout and pretentious things. I never care about them. I just want to play with people who share the same interests. Isn't that happy? So today's banquet is not big, you have to understand a little bit!"
"The princess is of true character, that's all right!" Yuan Ziyou really liked the character of Princess Linyang, and then he bowed to Miss He Er and Miss Zhang San: "Greetings, sisters."
He and Zhang also smiled and said, "Hello, Second Miss Yuan! We have heard of her great name for a long time, and today we are finally able to meet her. We just told the princess that we would not be happy if we could not see her today."
As they talked, the two of them started laughing.
Yuan Ziyu blinked in confusion. Is she really that famous?
Princess Linyang smiled and said, "I'm afraid you haven't left the house in the past few days!"
"That's right." Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "You have been staying in the mansion for the past few days and have not come out. Is there anything about me?"
Miss He smiled and said, "That's right. On the Lantern Festival, you first guessed the beauty lantern and won three treasures from Yanxiangzhai. Later, you bravely fought against the villains and protected the people. This story has spread everywhere. Now, everyone in the capital knows that the second daughter of General Yuan is both talented and beautiful, and she is extremely wise and brave."
Yuan Ziyou couldn't help but lower his head and smile after hearing this: "How can it be so exaggerated? It was just a coincidence at that time!"
"If Sister He and I happened to run into them, not only would we not be able to guess the riddle, but we'd probably be left with nothing but limp legs if we ran into any bad guys. Only you and the princess have that kind of courage." Miss Zhang San then said with a smile, "However, Sister Yuan, I'm two years older than you, so I'll call you sister. Your fame has greatly increased due to this Lantern Festival incident, and I'm afraid you've offended many people. Don't be afraid if you run into anyone looking for trouble in the future. The princess, Sister He, and I will all back you up."
"That's right!" Princess Linyang and Miss He Er both said with a smile.
"In that case, thank you, Princess, and thank you, my two sisters!" Yuan Ziyu smiled and pursed her lips. Although she was not afraid of those who wanted to find fault, it was also good to have a few friends!
In her previous life, she was too isolated and ended up not having a single close friend. Come to think of it, she was indeed a failure.
"What's there to thank? Since we all get along well, there's no need to keep thanking each other!" Princess Linyang said, then added with regret, "It's a pity that I hadn't had enough fun that day before my father sent someone to find me and bring me back to the palace. Otherwise, I would have taught those damn villains a lesson that day. They actually hurt so many people in my Dali Dynasty. It's really abominable!"
"Fortunately, those people didn't end up well in the end!" Yuan Ziyu nodded and said. Thinking of those innocent people who died tragically, Yuan Ziyu felt uncomfortable. He hated those villains for slaughtering unarmed civilians.
"Okay, let's not talk about those annoying things. Did Sister Yuan bring any snacks?" Princess Linyang asked with a smile when she saw the snack box in Qingzhi's hand.
"That's right!" Yuan Ziyou said with a smile, and motioned Qingzhi to put the snack box on the table. "I like to tinker with snacks on weekdays. These are some snacks I made myself. I brought some with me when I came here today, thinking that the princess and the two sisters would have a taste of my cooking."
Princess Linyang smiled and said, "That's great! I was just worried that the cook at home didn't have any new and unusual snacks. She keeps making the same few dishes over and over again, and I'm really getting tired of them."
Qingying walked forward and opened the food box. The food box had two layers, each containing two plates of different snacks. There was also a small can of tea in the bottom layer of the food box.
"The styles of these snacks are so beautiful! What are their names?" Princess Linyang's eyes lit up when she saw several plates of snacks. They were all things she had never eaten before. Even before she put them in her mouth, the aroma wafting out was enough to attract her.
