Chapter 144 Fainting
The maid from Prince Shun's mansion led Chen Tang and the others into the inner courtyard and walked towards the garden.
From a distance, you can see a few kites competing to fly high above the garden, and their laughter like silver bells can be heard.
Passing through the moon-shaped archway, you can see the ladies from prominent families chatting and laughing in groups of three or four, each of them graceful and charming with sweet smiles.
After entering the garden, Princess Roujia saw Chen Tang and came towards her, "Sister Chen Tang is finally here."
Chen Tang smiled and said, "The princess is here early."
Princess Roujia said, "Princess Ding'an asked me to help greet the ladies who came to the banquet. They came after breakfast."
Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, as if they didn't see her, Chen Xi tugged at the embroidered handkerchief in her hand fiercely and said, "Go see Princess Ding'an first."
Princess Roujia led them to Princess Ding'an, who was catching butterflies with a few other ladies and having a lot of fun. When she saw Chen Tang and Shen Xi, Princess Ding'an smiled and said, "Today we are at Prince Shun's mansion to enjoy the lotus, so we must have fun."
Princess Chun'an of the Zhao Palace came over and said to Princess Ding'an, "I heard that Concubine Ye gave several jars of fruit wine to the Shun Palace. They taste very good. I wonder if Princess Ding'an would be willing to give us a jar so that we can have a taste?"
Princess Ding'an laughed and said, "From what you said, it seems like I'm a stingy person. The fruit wine that Concubine Ye gave me was originally meant to entertain you. It's enough to make you drunk."
Princess Chun'an said, "The banquet will not start for a while, I want to taste it now."
"You're the only one who's greedy."
Princess Ding'an smiled and said, "I'll have someone get it for you right away."
Princess Anding invited Princess Roujia and Shen Tang to go to the pavilion over there to talk. After a while, the maid brought the fruit wine.
Princess Chun'an took the lead and took a sniff. Then she took a sip and praised it highly, "It's worthy of being a tribute. It tastes delicious."
The girls in the pavilion all tried it. After all, it was a tribute fruit wine, and they might not be able to drink it even at a palace banquet, so they had to try it.
The maid poured wine for everyone one by one. Chen Tang was not interested in drinking, but Chen Ying wanted to try it, so the maid poured two glasses.
Princess Anding smiled and said, “Second Miss Shen, please try it too.”
The maid brought the wine over, Chen Tang reached out and took it, and tried a sip. It tasted really good. A maid came over to report to Princess Ding'an, "Princess, the eldest lady from the Marquis of Changping's mansion is here."
Princess Anding stood up and said to Princess Chun'an and the others, "I'll go and greet them, you guys have fun."
Princess Chun'an smiled and said, "I'll go with you."
As she spoke, she pulled Princess Roujia and said, "You should go with us too."
Princess Roujia wanted to talk to Shen Tang for a while, but was forcibly pulled up and followed them out of the pavilion.
The maid took the wine glass down, but when she was leaving, she accidentally sprained her ankle and the tray in her hand fell towards Chen Tang, and the wine jug fell on Chen Tang, spilling the wine all over him.
The maid hurriedly said, "Second Miss Shen, I'm sorry..."
She knelt down quickly and tried to wipe the hem of Shen Tang's skirt, but the hem was stained with wine and couldn't be wiped off.
This little accident quickly alarmed Princess Ding'an, who scolded the maid, "You are so clumsy!"
Then he looked at Chen Tang and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I'll ask the maid to take you to change into a dress."
If the skirt was just a little wet, it would dry soon, but it was fruit wine after all, so it was a bit sticky, so I had to change it.
Chen Tang said, "There are skirts in the carriage, just ask the maid to get them."
Princess Ding'an asked the maid to take Ginkgo to the carriage to get her skirt, while Chen Tang waited in the pavilion for Ginkgo to come back with her skirt.
Chen Xi said to Princess Ding'an, "Princess, go and get busy. I'll be with you, my second sister."
Princess Ding'an glanced at Chen Tang and went to greet the ladies from wealthy families.
Watching Chen Xian sitting down and drinking tea leisurely, Chen Tang felt a sense of uneasiness for no reason. Chen Xian was worried about the bloody disaster. When she came to Shun Palace today, she should have focused on finding an ideal husband. How could she have the patience to accompany her? There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
Chen Tang looked at Chen Xian and said, "I'm fine. You don't have to accompany me. My elder sister is going to play with those ladies from wealthy families..."
As she said this, she felt dizzy and her heart skipped a beat.
Someone drugged the fruit wine!
She suddenly looked at Chen Xi, and then her eyes went dark, and she fell on the railing of the pavilion.
Before he fainted, he heard Shen Xi's voice calling him, "Second sister!"
The maidservant from Prince Shun's mansion who was guarding outside the pavilion came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xian said, "Second sister has a low alcohol tolerance and is a heavy drinker. She got drunk after drinking a few glasses of fruit wine..."
The maid said, "How about we help her to the bamboo house over there to rest for a while?"
Chen Xi and her maid helped Chen Tang up and walked towards the bamboo house.
There was a big box outside the bamboo house. Chen Xi said to the maid, "Put it in the box."
…
"Wake up."
There was a voice calling to my ear, full of worry and somewhat familiar.
Shen Tang slowly opened her eyes and saw a handsome face. She was dazed for a moment, remembering that she had fainted. She was startled and sat up suddenly. Her movements were too fast and the person she was worried about was not prepared and was bumped into unexpectedly.
One had a sore forehead and felt dizzy, and the other had a nearly broken nose.
Chen Tang rubbed his forehead and looked at Xie Guimo, "Why is it you? Didn't I faint in the pavilion?"
Xie Guimo touched his nose which was hurt by the collision. "I was almost carried out and sold."
Chen Tang's heart trembled fiercely, and he clenched his fists, "The fruit wine I drank was drugged, and they planned to give me a share of Shunwang Mansion."
She had no grudges against the Shun Palace, and since so many ladies from wealthy families drank the fruit wine, she was not on guard. She didn't expect that the fruit wine was aimed at her.
Chen Xian doesn't have the nerve to ask Prince Shun's Mansion to help her, it must be Concubine Ye!
Thinking of Chen Xian, Chen Tang asked Xie Guimo, "Where is Chen Xian?"
Xie Guimo's face was gloomy. "She put you in a box, and I used her to replace you. You should have been carried out of Prince Shun's Mansion by now."
As for where to send it, we will have to wait until Chen Shan comes back to find out.
Chen Tang wanted to stand up, but he still felt dizzy, so he could only sit on a rock and wait until he was back to normal.
Chen Xian didn't know that Chen Shan had been secretly protecting Chen Tang. Except in the palace, Chen Tang would hardly leave her sight. If she knew, she would definitely not attack Shen Tang under Chen Shan's nose.
Almost as soon as Chen Xian stuffed Chen Tang into the box, a stone was thrown and knocked Chen Xian and the maid unconscious.
Xie Guimo picked up Chen Tang from the box, Chen Shan threw Chen Xi in, and as for the maid, she was thrown outside the bamboo house.
Just as they finished their work, the two maids came over, opened the box and took a look. They didn't even check if it was Chen Tang. After confirming that there was a girl in the box, they directly carried the big box out of the mansion. There was a carriage waiting outside Prince Shun's mansion.
The big box was loaded onto a horse-drawn carriage and taken away directly to a small courtyard with three entrances two streets away.
In a quaint room, the Prince of Changping was sitting there reading a book.
But what he was reading were not serious books. Instead, they were all pictures of men and women, and the pictures were lifelike.
Two servants brought in a large box and said, "My Lord, the people are here."
The corner of Changping Hou's mouth curled up into a smile, and he put the book down, "Open it."
The servant opened the box and, at the signal of the Prince of Changping, carried the person out.
Seeing that it was not Chen Tang but Chen Ying, the Prince of Changping frowned.
idiot!
Failed again!
But this face is not bad.
The Prince of Changping pinched Chen Xi's chin, took her from the servant, picked her up, and walked towards the bed.
