Seeing that the man's face was not in a good mood, Tang Wan knew that she had teased him too much, so she kissed the man on the chin.
"Just kidding, Brother Xuanzhi, you're not mad at me, right~"
She said this in a delicate voice, half jokingly and half seriously.
Qin Xuanzhi was stunned by her address, and his heart beat faster.
The sound of it is so loud that it is hard to ignore.
"You, what did you call me just now?"
"Of course, good words are only said once. You can savor them slowly." She raised her chin proudly, like a noble royal cat.
Qin Xuanzhi laughed in silence and resigned himself to peeling lotus seeds for his spoiled little wife.
The banquet was held at the princess's residence, which was a bit far from the Qin residence. The carriage drove smoothly for more than an hour before arriving.
Princess Qinyang had been waiting eagerly at the door. How long had it been? Why hadn't Xuanzhi arrived yet?
Speak of the devil, and when she saw the black carriage with sachets hanging on it, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Sure enough, no one could resist her charm, not even the cold Qin Xuanzhi.
She took a half step forward, intending to greet him with the most perfect attitude.
The curtain and small door of the carriage were pushed open, and a man came out first. He was tall and slender, and his figure showed that he was a handsome man.
When she saw the mask on Qin Xuanzhi's face, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But she soon became happy again, because from now on, only she could see his appearance.
"Xuan......." Before she could utter the second half of the word, she saw a delicate hand reaching out from the carriage and resting on Qin Xuanzhi's broad palm.
A petite woman came out. She knew that she was Qin Xuanzhi's wife. She was just prettier than ordinary girls, which was nothing special.
The next moment, the woman's face was fully revealed. She thought she could be called the most beautiful woman in the capital, so she was confident that Qin Xuanzhi would definitely fall in love with her.
But now, seeing this woman, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
But this feeling of inferiority was soon overshadowed by jealousy.
She was just a pretty girl with the despicable manners of a vixen who was used to seducing men. Today, she would ruin the reputation of this vixen.
At that time, she could take the opportunity to comfort Qin Xuanzhi, go with the flow, and become his new wife.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and a vicious smile appeared uncontrollably on her face.
She turned to her other personal maid, Fuling, and said, "Go in first. I won't wait any longer."
Fuling was very obedient and didn't ask why. She just answered yes.
After the couple entered, they were forced to separate, after all, men and women had to sit at separate tables.
Even couples are no exception.
She straightened Qin Xuanzhi's clothes and said, "Put it down, my dear husband. I will be careful about everything."
Qin Xuanzhi pulled a chain from his neck and said, "This is a bone whistle. If you are in danger, blow it. I will protect you no matter what."
Even if it costs my life.
"Don't worry, my husband. It's just a small palace banquet." She accepted the bone whistle and smiled and reminded him, "My husband, you didn't eat anything on the way. At the palace banquet, remember to pick out the things you like and eat as much as you can."
"Okay..." He nodded, but he had no appetite at all. To him, this banquet was just like the Hongmen Banquet. How could he eat anything?
"Don't be perfunctory. I'm going to touch your belly when I get back. If you dare to lie to me, you're done."
She was fierce, but Qin Xuanzhi felt warm and a little shy. He covered her lips and said, "Madam, these private words should be kept at home. Don't let others hear them."
"Alright, alright, I got it, I got it. I'll leave first, or the princess will get anxious waiting."
Tang Wan arrived neither too early nor too late, and there were already several ladies from aristocratic families chatting lively together.
Seeing her coming, everyone present inevitably showed some surprise in their eyes.
"Which noble family are you from?" The one who spoke was the wife of Marquis Pingyang, and there was a hint of kindness in her eyes as she looked at her.
Such a beautiful girl, who looks so well-behaved, it would be great if she were her daughter. If that doesn’t work, then she could be her daughter-in-law!
Tang Wan was the first to show a friendly smile. "Madam, I am General Qin's new wife. I just don't go out much, so I guess you are not very familiar with me."
"It turns out to be Xuanzhi's new bride. Come and sit down."
Although the wife of Marquis Pingyang was a little disappointed, she quickly cheered herself up and invited her to sit down with her.
"Oh, Xuanzhi is so lucky to have married a bride as beautiful as you."
"Do you have any sisters at home? Why not introduce one to me? I also want to have such a beautiful and well-behaved daughter-in-law."
Several older women chatted with her enthusiastically, and she immediately felt relieved.
These ladies are all easy to get along with, so I don’t think they would do anything for her.
She smiled and soon became friends with the ladies by her sweet talk.
As they were admiring the rare flowers in the center of the banquet hall and chatting happily, the senior palace maid beside the princess suddenly walked in and bowed to the ladies.
She put down the wine cup as if inadvertently, but her hand suddenly loosened and the wine fell on Tang Wan's dress.
"I'm so sorry, Madam Qin, please come with me and I'll take you to change your clothes."
Tang Wan looked at the dress soaked with wine, her eyes darkened, but her face was full of tension: "Thank you very much."
The princess was so impatient that she couldn't bear it for a moment.
Seeing this, the senior palace maid's eyes were filled with even more disdain. She thought he was so powerful, but it turned out that he was just a fool with only beauty but no brains.
...........
After she changed her clothes, the maid called her again: "Madam, the princess wants to invite you to drink a glass of wine to make amends. Please."
Tang Wan deliberately picked out a dress that was very similar to the one the princess was wearing today. She knew that things would never be that simple.
She was now dressed in a fiery red dress, but she still refused: "There's no need to drink. It's not a big deal anyway."
"Madam Qin, I advise you to go. When the princess gets angry, even His Majesty has to be patient."
Tang Wan pretended to be frightened and obediently followed him to the princess's residence.
"Your Highness Tang Wan, I pay my respects to Princess Qinyang."
"Get up." Qin Yang said in a light voice.
"Thank you, Princess."
"Mrs. Qin was born with a good appearance."
"You are too kind, Princess. I am just an average-looking person, barely acceptable. I cannot compare to your extraordinary beauty."
When Qin Yang heard this, he clenched his hand around the teacup even harder.
Was this woman here to humiliate her? She looked like this and yet she said she was just an average-looking woman. She was clearly mocking her!
The veins on her forehead bulged and the flesh on her cheeks trembled constantly. It was obvious that she was very angry.
