Wen Liyu did not object, loosened the corner of Zhao Xuanyin's clothes, and stood with the maid.
Her bright and beautiful face dimmed slightly, her graceful and gorgeous skirt was blown by the wind, like the wings of a butterfly, trembling and about to fly away.
"Brother Yi, Yu'er will pretend nothing happened today. If you want to marry the one inside..."
Before Wen Liyu could finish her words, a group of beautiful girls suddenly rushed out from the courtyard gate, led by a person who looked like a maid.
"My young lady is here. She said she wants to invite all the young ladies to taste her new rouge..." The green-clothed maid opened her mouth wide when she saw the two princes and Wen Liyu standing at the door of the palace.
What is going on? Why are the Second Prince and the Wen family's daughter here? This... is not the plan!
The maid in green was Chen Qingqing's person. Chen Qingqing's father was just a minor official in the Ministry of Revenue. According to his rank, it was impossible for him to participate in such a banquet.
But last month she made a special gouache called liquid foundation.
As soon as this foundation came out, it immediately captured the hearts of the noble ladies in the entire imperial capital.
Chen Qingqing relied on various cosmetics to break into the circle of noble ladies and became a guest of honor in the backyards of various families.
The noble ladies who were attracted immediately looked between the four people with gossipy eyes.
This... Why is the girl from the Wen family so close to the Second Prince? Why is Chen Qingqing sitting in the hall with disheveled clothes? Why is the Third Prince looking at the girl from the Wen family with such a panicked look on his face?
A big drama began to play out in everyone's mind, and everyone had their own opinions.
But the only common understanding is that there must be something wrong with the third prince!
Chen Qingqing immediately came to her senses and stood up from the couch. The maid in green rushed to her side and helped her tidy up her clothes.
"Miss..." The maid in green paused and lowered her voice, "What should we do now?"
"Shut up." Chen Qingqing scolded in a low voice, walked into the crowd, and bowed. "It's all Qing'er's fault. Miss Wen misunderstood."
"Just now, Qing'er was discussing cosmetics with the Third Prince. The Third Prince wanted to buy the latest cosmetics from Qing'er as a gift for Miss Wen, so he made an appointment with Qing'er to discuss it in the rest hall."
Wen Liyu turned her head sideways, glanced at her slowly, and tilted her head blankly, "Who are you?"
"Qing'er is Doctor Chen's second daughter." Chen Qingqing's face twisted for a moment, then calmed down in an instant. She lowered her head obediently, "I think Miss Wen is forgetful. We met at the princess's banquet a few days ago."
"Oh." Wen Liyu nodded slightly, as if she had just remembered.
Seeing her like this, Chen Qingqing showed a reserved and proud smile on her face.
She is so popular now that even the Queen Mother and others are using the foundation she makes. How could this vicious female supporting role not remember her?
"Miss Wen, if you need it, I can give you a set of new cosmetics." Chen Qingqing said proudly.
Wen Liyu shook her head and said in a teasing voice, "No, I never wear makeup on my face."
Chen Qingqing: “…”
"Miss Chen's makeup is very delicate, unlike me, I'm too clumsy." Wen Liyu sighed and turned to ask the two princes, "Brother Yi and Brother Xuan Yin, do you prefer ladies who know how to dress up?"
Zhao Xuanyin: "I don't like it. It stinks."
"I only like you, Yu'er." Zhao Xuanyi smiled gently.
Chen Qingqing: “…” Damn, what a low-end green tea.
She took a deep breath and felt something was wrong. Wasn't Wen Liyu the vicious female supporting character? Why did her character change?
Zhao Xuanyi's words made the girls present blush. They covered their expressions with their fans and looked at Zhao Xuanyi shyly.
"Yu'er, would you please come with me for a walk in the woods?" Zhao Xuanyi bent down and looked expectantly at his young wife, with whom he had been engaged for more than ten years.
Wen Liyu paused, and without wanting to embarrass her fiancé in front of so many people, she nodded.
Just as she was about to walk out from behind Zhao Xuanyin, he stopped her without leaving a trace.
Wen Liyu and Zhao Xuanyi looked at each other at the same time as Zhao Xuanyin suddenly raised his arm to block the two of them.
"Second brother!" Zhao Xuanyi took a step forward, moved closer to his brother's side, and whispered, "What are you trying to do?"
Zhao Xuanyin raised his eyes lazily, pretending to be dumbfounded, "It's too quiet, I can't hear it."
"Yu'er is my fiancée." Zhao Xuanyi no longer concealed the truth. He forcefully pulled his brother aside and said bluntly, "Second brother, you'd better give up your thoughts."
"I don't have any thoughts." Zhao Xuanyin's eyes were dark and gloomy.
"This prince just wants to get back what belongs to him."
"you!"
"Brother Yi, Brother Xuan Yin, are you guys arguing?"
Seeing the two of them arguing with each other, Wen Liyu hurried over to try to stop them.
With so many people present, she couldn't let them laugh at her. Otherwise, the Queen Mother and the others would know that she was there but didn't stop it, and they would definitely be dissatisfied with her.
Chen Qingqing also returned to the group of noble ladies. Although everyone had some guesses in their minds, there was no evidence.
Everyone understood each other tacitly and no one asked what had happened.
When Wen Liyu came over, the two brothers, who looked the same but had completely different temperaments, stopped targeting each other.
"Sorry, Yu'er, my second brother and I have something to discuss." Zhao Xuanyi's eyes showed apology. "I'll go to the Wen Mansion to find you tomorrow, okay?"
Wen Liyu turned her head to look at Zhao Xuanyin, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she nodded in agreement, "...Okay."
After the two princes left, Wen Liyu followed the noble ladies back to the banquet hall.
Wen Liyu had the highest status among them, and everyone surrounded her cautiously, passing the conversation to her from time to time.
Although the heroine Chen Qingqing entered the circle by selling cosmetics, she is ultimately just a salesperson. No one will pay attention to her unless they want to buy something.
However, the noble ladies who buy things with the heroine will not take the initiative to mention it in person, but will let the maids do it in private.
Compared with Wen Liyu, Chen Qingqing is just a small stone on the roadside, inconspicuous and easily overlooked.
Her plan today was easily solved by Wen Liyu. Chen Qingqing was very unwilling and made a new plan in her mind.
Wen Liyu returned to her seat and ate some food. The banquet was about to come to an end.
Men and women who fell in love with each other looked at each other reluctantly across the stream, exchanging glances.
After the banquet, Wen Liyu couldn't wait to return home. She was thinking about how to cancel the engagement when she met her father who had just returned from the military camp.
Although his father, Wen Xiuye, was a military general, he looked like a Confucian scholar, with a fair complexion, delicate features that gave him a slightly feminine look, a gentle temperament, and beautiful beard.
Fortunately, he was over eight feet tall, with well-developed muscles. His pair of iron arms were as thick as Wen Liyu's thighs, so people could easily glance over his appearance and only remember his strong body.
"Yu'er, you're back just in time." Wen Xiuye walked a few steps from the mansion to the carriage, stretched out his hand and carried Wen Liyu down from the carriage, "Come back with me quickly, something big has happened!"
