Chapter 42: Surprised? Unexpected?
I've heard before that half of the servants in the princess's mansion are royal chefs. Seeing is believing.
No matter how delicious the meal in front of him was, it had nothing to do with Lu Mingfeng.
He just came here to investigate the case today.
If the eldest princess had not been so willful and capricious, and deeply favored by the emperor, he would not be sitting here at this moment.
Lu Mingfeng just wanted to quickly finish this tasteless lunch, get what he wanted, and return to Dali Temple as soon as possible.
Seeing that he had his head buried in his mouth and was only focused on eating rice without eating a single bite of vegetables, Su Yunyao picked up a piece of beef and put it in his bowl.
Lu Mingfeng paused.
Su Yunyao had just returned from the palace after having breakfast. She wasn't very hungry, and there was a piece of wood sitting next to her.
How boring!
She took two bites and put down her chopsticks.
Seeing that she didn't want to eat anymore, Lu Mingfeng also put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Princess, can you show me that hairpin now?"
Su Yunyao waved her hand casually, "Zhenzhu, go get the imperial concubine's hairpin."
Su Yunyao was bored and drank the fruit tea that Shanhu made for her.
Lu Mingfeng stared at the turquoise on the hairpin seriously.
Early this morning, he went to Jin Man Lou. Jin Man Lou did have a few blue-green gemstone ornaments for sale, but those gemstones were not turquoise.
That's why he thought that when the princess showed him the hairpin last night, the light was insufficient at night, so he might have seen it wrong.
Because the princess said that the stone was turquoise, he had already assumed in his mind that it was turquoise.
However, the one belonging to Concubine Shu is inlaid with turquoise.
After Lu Mingfeng understood what was going on, he returned the hairpin to Su Yunyao.
He moved his lips but couldn't speak.
Following a loud noise outside the front hall.
The emperor had people send her hairpins, hairpins, and more than a dozen jars of wine she had drunk in the palace, all of which were brought into the princess's mansion.
"Pearl, go get this princess a wine glass."
Hearing this, Lu Mingfeng's expression was indescribable. Thinking of the time she vomited all over him last night, he couldn't help but ask, "Does the Princess like to drink?"
Su Yunyao:?
Why are there always some people who are so unromantic.
Forcing others to want to slap him when they are happy.
"Would you like a drink too, Lord Lu?"
Lu Mingfeng: ...
"I have a case to attend to, so I won't disturb the princess's pleasure."
Su Yunyao walked over to him with a wine glass, took a sip, and glanced down at the bowl he had just eaten from.
He ate all the rice except the piece of beef she had given him, which he left untouched.
Su Yunyao touched his chest with the wine glass, and the wine overflowing from the glass soaked his clothes on his chest.
The wine seeped through his outer clothes and into his inner clothes layer by layer.
His chest suddenly felt cold, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Just at this moment, Su Yunyao raised the corners of her lips slightly, leaned against the food plate, and poured the wine in the glass into her mouth.
The sunlight shone on the corners of her lips, and her lips, soaked in wine, were stained with a layer of water.
Her eyebrows are lightly drawn and her eyes are full of spring, her skin is as smooth and delicate as warm jade, her glow is soft and not spotless, and her redness is delicate and beautiful.
I have always heard that the eldest princess is the most beautiful woman in Daxia.
Lu Mingfeng had never looked at her so closely before.
Two strands of hair on the cheeks gently flutter in the wind, adding a touch of seductive charm.
Her charming lips curled up slightly, "Why don't you eat the beef I gave you?"
The corners of Lu Mingfeng's lips were tense, and there was a clear flash of brilliance in his eyes.
"I have to go back to the Dali Temple. Please enjoy your meal, Princess."
Seeing that he looked a little embarrassed, he left quickly.
Su Yunyao burst out laughing, and the wine in the glass spilled all over her hands.
How interesting!
Even the cold-blooded and ruthless Shaoqing of the Dali Temple had to flee in panic.
Zhenzhu came in with some fruit cut up, and looked at Su Yunyao laughing so hard that she was bent over, with a confused look on her face.
"Princess, have you drunk too much? I'll help you to rest."
Su Yunyao: ...
She hasn't even started drinking yet!
Is her alcohol tolerance really that bad?
It's over, Barbie Q is gone.
Vomiting can ruin your life.
This is definitely a black history that she will never be able to wash away in her life!
In the evening, the emperor had several sets of clothes delivered to Su Yunyao, one of which was more formal, similar to court dress.
"Why did my royal brother send me this? Was Xijing destroyed? Are you going to hold a celebration banquet?"
Pearl burst out laughing, "Princess, are you missing General Huo?"
Huo Xiao?
If you think about it carefully, he has been at the border for some time.
But she has not been idle these days.
"I haven't had time to think about it yet." Su Yunyao nodded seriously, "Now that you mention it, I actually did think about it a little bit."
pearl:……
No time to think about it.
Pearl struggled to find herself again, "Princess, the day after tomorrow is the Queen's birthday."
Queen?
Isn't that her brother and sister-in-law's birthday?
"Princess, this year is the Empress' birthday celebration. Originally, it was going to be a grand one, but due to the ongoing war at the border, the Emperor has only invited the concubines, and officials of the third rank and above in the court, as well as their wives and relatives."
Su Yunyao: ...
Does she really not understand what being low-key meant in ancient times?
Not to mention the officials and the women in their families, there were already thirty-seven concubines in the emperor's harem.
Isn't this a big deal?
"It's the Queen's birthday. Should I prepare a birthday gift?"
"In previous years, the princess would have me pick anything from the storehouse and send it to her. Last year, she gave me a pair of jade ruyi, and the year before that, she gave me a painting. Before that, she also gave me pearls, agates, and corals..."
Pearls, agates, corals...
Su Yunyao burst out laughing when she heard the familiar name.
"Hahahaha, I was saying that the most suitable names for you three would be Peanut, Walnut, and Melon Seed!"
Pearls, agates, corals: ...
The three of them were in surprisingly tacit silence, and only felt a row of crows flying overhead.
Peanuts, walnuts, and melon seeds are not as nice-sounding as pearls, agates, and corals.
"Since we already have pearls, agates, and corals, let's give something different this year."
Su Yunyao clapped her hands and said, "Help this princess change her clothes and go to Jinjing Tower."
When the princess's carriage stopped at the gate of Jinjing Tower.
It took Xu Mubai a while to react.
Didn't he just deliver the account book at noon? Why did the princess come here at this hour?
Su Yunyao lifted the curtain and walked down from the carriage with the help of Zhenzhu.
I saw Xu Mubai waiting on the side.
Especially the crooked bandage she tied on his head, which looked inexplicably funny.
"Xiao Baibai." Su Yunyao raised her hand and pinched his cheek. "Surprised? Unexpected? You didn't expect to see me again so soon, did you?"
Xu Mubai's body stiffened noticeably, his cheeks burning instantly. He used up almost all his strength to keep himself calm. "Princess, why are you here at this hour? Is there something wrong with the account book?"
"There's no problem with the account book." Su Yunyao withdrew her hand and patted him on the shoulder. "I'm very relieved to leave Jinjinglou in your care."
