Chapter 24: Everyone is here to laugh at me, and I am the joke
Qin Hanzhang nodded calmly, ignoring the sidelong glances from others, and said to Su Qianqian: "Thank you, Madam, for reminding me. I do have a cold body, but I didn't know that I shouldn't eat food with lilies added."
[What I said was quite tactful. Having to go to the toilet after eating is the least of the problems. If you really have a cold body, it could be a serious problem. Does this chef want to harm the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Since Prime Minister Xue and my mother-in-law have been childhood sweethearts, I will give you a reminder. 】
The Qin family secretly wiped their sweat. They didn't remind them how Su Qianqian launched a sneak attack and almost got caught.
Prime Minister Xue originally frowned with some dissatisfaction.
He and Su Taifu were also political enemies, and neither of them would submit to the other in the court. Everyone in Xijing knew that Su Taifu's daughter had planned to marry Qin Hanzhang, and Prime Minister Xue often mocked Su Taifu for this.
At this time, he heard Su Qianqian's big words, which were obviously saying that the Prime Minister's Office was not thoughtful enough, and he looked slightly displeased.
But he suddenly heard Su Qianqian's voice!
Although he didn't know why he heard those strange words, he was very clear that although Su Qianqian didn't say anything, she had said something important that concerned the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Prime Minister Xue hurriedly bowed and said, "Please forgive me, my dear guests. It was my daughter's mistake. I immediately changed this dish. I am sorry for the embarrassment."
"Prime Minister Xue, I don't need to watch this. This is a dish that Sister Wan Ning has spent a lot of time preparing. It won't be perfect without any of the dishes. How can you take it away just because someone made an absurd guess?"
Everyone looked over and saw that the person who was speaking was Princess Zhaoyang, the prince's sister, the queen's biological daughter, and a figure who was like the eye of the royal family.
"Sister is right. Who knows what a shameless person who repays kindness with enmity might be thinking? Besides, how can we tell that Lily was released?
I have been hiding in the backyard for many years and have never seen the world. How can I know about new dishes? I was just trying to please my husband and said some ridiculous things, how could he take them seriously? ”
Princess Zhaoyang was at least more reserved, but Princess Zhaoning, born to Concubine Xiao, was directly referring to Su Qianqian and even revealed the scandal of that year.
The men at the banquet were all royal relatives or high-ranking officials. When they heard such humiliating remarks about women, they all lowered their heads in embarrassment and either drank tea or fiddled with their sleeves.
The women were different. They pretended to be reserved but their eyes were all focused on Su Qianqian.
Especially Zhang's mother, daughter and two others, they went to the banquet today just to make fun of Su Qianqian so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to take action, and now they were watching the show with surprise.
Qin Hanzhang's face turned cold, and he raised his eyebrows and was about to speak for Su Qianqian, but Su Qianqian's hand gently brushed his wrist, causing him to pause.
"Oh, Princess Zhaoning saw through me. I really thought so! I only said that people with cold constitutions cannot use it. As for those with hot tempers, of course it's fine.
And what Princess Zhaoning said is right. I have lived in the rear house for a long time and have never seen the world. Pork and lily cannot be eaten together. Also, people with cold body will suffer abdominal pain after eating them. I'll just show off what I know, but I heard it from the old women. Please forgive me for making fun of you.
I apologize to you all. Princesses, please eat more. If there are any lilies, they can help you cool down. ”
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, she stood up, with dazzling jewelry on her head, and bowed gracefully.
The people at the banquet looked at each other. They had never seen anyone take a slap in the face with a clear conscience.
To sum it up: You can see that I am shameless, what does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with me whether you eat or not?
The two princesses were made even angrier by Su Qianqian's cotton shield. They had no reason to scold her anymore. She admitted her mistakes with a very good attitude and apologized, admitting that she was just talking nonsense to coax her husband. What else did they want?
So the two of them set an example by eating several big mouthfuls of pork.
Prime Minister Xue was in no position to ask for a change of dishes, so Xue Wanning smiled and ordered a performance. The dancers came on stage, their wide sleeves fluttering, covering up all the undercurrents.
But most of the roasted meat was untouched...
Prime Minister Xue glanced behind him and the butler turned around and went out to deal with the matter.
Su Qianqian was not affected at all. She ate vegetables and chatted with the system at the same time. She did not notice that there was a hint of heartache and apology in Qin Hanzhang's eyes when he looked at her.
[This Princess Zhaoning looks dumb, but she is actually very good at scheming and is quite like her mother. She praises Princess Zhaoyang openly, but secretly makes things difficult for her.
I'll keep you in suspense here, and you'll be able to see a good show later. It can also be a lesson for Princess Zhaoyang. Why fall in love with a married man when there are so many people to fall in love with? 】
[Xiao Tong, you have become a bad person and you have even learned to keep me in suspense. If you continue like this, I will have to modify our agreement...]
[My lady, don’t be angry. There are so many melons here today. Let’s eat them slowly. Have you seen anyone from the Loyal and Brave Marquis’s Mansion?
Today, Mrs. Du also came with her daughter, and brought a script: suffering and sacrifice, alarm ahead, the Marquis' innocence is in danger! 】
[This is great. I've only seen people being framed by women in novels. When I woke up in the morning, there was someone lying next to me and I didn't know whether I had done it or not. Can I see a live version of this today? 】
[My dear, you are about to have a new sister. Do you have any sense of crisis? 】
[No, no, if you have no interest in me I will give up, if you have a new love I will accept it, what troubles and worries are there? The most effective way to deal with a scumbag is to see who is worse! 】
Qin Hanzhang: I haven’t done anything yet, I know nothing!
Prince: Fortunately, such a woman did not enter the harem...
Qin family: We won’t give you this opportunity!
[The Duke Xuan's Mansion has also arrived. Let me tell you in secret that these families are here for you. After learning that you and the Marquis will attend the banquet, they have been actively preparing to attend. You can be proud of this. 】
What is there to be proud of? People come here to laugh at my joke, and I am the joke. Should I be proud of this? 】
[No, no, you are not right... You are absolutely right. The prince of Duke Xuan came to see the Marquis, but the wife of the prince, your sister, came to see you and begged for several days in a humble manner. 】
[Be humble?] Su Qianqian turned her head slightly to the right and met a pair of beautiful eyes staring at her. When she saw her looking over, she forced a smile but still couldn't hold back tears.
[Duke Xuan married into the Su family in order to win over the power of the civil servants.
Your father was newly promoted to the position of Grand Tutor and was highly regarded by the Emperor. His future was limitless, which is why the Zhu family exchanged the position of the Crown Prince's Wife for the support of the Grand Tutor. Your sister suddenly lost her mother and got married in mourning. How could she be in a good mood when she was in such a state of mind?
The prince always appears gentle and elegant on the surface, but he is ruthless with his words behind his back. Although your sister gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and is nominally the mistress of the Zhu family, she is just a hardworking housekeeper.
People always praised her for her virtuous character, but that was earned by her constantly taking concubines for Zhu Min and taking care of the Zhu family's daily needs. Even those concubines thought she was a coward behind her back.
For the sake of Master Su's reputation and to avoid causing trouble for the Su family, she has lived a hard life in the Zhu family, not even as good as you! 】
Seeing Su Xinxin's confused and dazed eyes, Su Qianqian withdrew her gaze and secretly thought about the original plot. Until the death of the original owner, this Su Xinxin had not shown any performance and was unknown. Could it be that she was controlled by the Zhu family?
Later it was mentioned briefly that Zhu Min's new wife was good friends with the heroine, which meant that Su Xinxin was also dead, so who was the new wife?
