Chapter 5: Banquet Calculation



After Yun Wanwan finished speaking, she didn't want to continue entangled with this unreasonable mother and daughter, so she turned around and went back to her own yard.

Yun Wanwan is very annoyed now. Rong Chengxuan is not only powerful, but he can also find the general's mansion through witchcraft. It is obvious that he is also a person who understands metaphysics!

Her biggest advantage is her knowledge of metaphysics, but this advantage is useless against Rong Chengxuan. Wouldn't she be completely defeated?

Do I really have to marry him and become Princess An?

No, no, I don’t know if Prince An’s Mansion is also a dangerous place... She should stay away from the danger center, right?

However, it seems that I can't disobey the order...

Yun Wanwan was so worried that her hair seemed to fall out. She locked herself in the room and refused to go out. She tossed and turned for three or four days but could not think of a good solution.

It was not until four days later that a maid knocked on her door. It was Yun Yaoyao's maid.

Yun Yaoyao, dressed like a peacock, walked into her room, twisting and turning, and said with a smile: "Sister, you are now the eldest daughter of the general's mansion. I am here to invite you to get in the carriage."

"Where are you going?" Yun Wanwan asked without even looking up.

I was sighing in my heart, this Yun Yaoyao is simply an indestructible cockroach!

He had just been slapped ten times, and in just four days he was jumping around in front of him again.

The redness and swelling on her face also disappeared. I guess it was because her cheap parents used all the precious medicinal herbs on this "jewel in the palm"...

"Today is the Queen's birthday banquet. All the children of noble families must come to the palace to celebrate the Queen's birthday. Did you forget, sister?"

Yun Wanwan raised an eyebrow.

This person only came to call me when I was about to leave, and even used such a serious crime as "forgetting the Queen's birthday banquet" to pressure me, so that I couldn't do anything to her. Then, she made me go to the banquet with a disheveled appearance and make a fool of myself!

What a calculation...

Yun Wanwan smiled faintly, not taking Yun Yaoyao's trick seriously at all.

She didn't like to wear makeup in modern times, but in ancient times, the original owner was also very beautiful.

Even without makeup, she looks much better than Yun Yaoyao, but her hair and clothes are a bit troublesome...

"Sister, please hurry up. Give me a quarter of an hour at most to dress up. Otherwise, if we miss the auspicious time, neither you nor I can afford it!" Yun Yaoyao said hypocritically.

Yun Wanwan sneered, "I won't let my sister be ranked ninth."

She casually picked up a hairpin given by Rong Chengxuan, tied up her long hair with her backhand, combed it into a bun neatly, and fixed it with the hairpin.

The hairstyle is done.

She picked up a green gauze skirt and changed her clothes in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

The clothes are also done.

"Let's go, sister."

Yun Yaoyao was stunned: "You...you are just a wild girl from the countryside, how could you tie your own hair?"

Yun Wanwan sneered in her heart and ignored Yun Yaoyao's words.

She used to love playing the role of a Taoist priest, and it was easy for her to comb an ancient bun. It was a dream to think that these things would stump her!

When Yun Wanwan arrived outside the mansion, Yun Yaoyao couldn't help but speak again, "I'm sorry, sister. To the outside world, you're just the general's adopted daughter. The little carriage at the back is where you belong. Please."

Yun Wanwan glanced at her coldly, "I'm going to take this one."

She approached the larger and more luxurious carriage, which was obviously prepared by Yun Yaoyao for her. It was indeed gorgeous.

Yun Wanwan suddenly had a yellow talisman in her hand, and she threw it casually, and it flew onto the wheel of the carriage behind.

After she got on the large carriage, she lifted the curtain and said to Yun Yaoyao with a smile, "Since you've called me sister for so long, I have to repay you well. I hope your horse can pull this thousand-kilogram wheel."

Yun Yaoyao looked at her with gnashing teeth, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn to pieces by her. "You witch, just wait for me!"

However, Yun Wanwan's carriage had already sped away, and no one heard her curses.

After entering the palace, Yun Wanwan was clearly dressed very plainly, yet she still caused a group of women from aristocratic families to whisper and discuss about her.

Yun Wanwan was confused and didn't understand why, so she could only follow the eunuch leading the way and sit in her seat.

Yun Yaoyao arrived exhausted, but because she couldn't lash out in the palace, she could only stare at Yun Wanwan with resentment and say, "Yun Wanwan, I will make you pay for what happened today and that slap in the face before!"

"We'll see."

Yun Wanwan drank a small glass of wine with brisk movements, completely unaffected.

After a while, a eunuch finally shouted in a shrill voice: "The Queen has arrived, His Royal Highness Prince An has arrived——"

Yun Wanwan was so frightened that she almost spit out her wine as she met Rong Chengxuan's playful gaze.

After the ceremony, everyone took their seats. Emperor Beichen rarely went out, so it was normal for him not to attend birthday banquets.

But it is really surprising that Prince An would appear in such an occasion.

"Your Majesty is unwell and cannot come here, so I will take your place."

Rong Chengxuan's words gave both parties a decent way out.

However, ever since Prince An became regent, His Majesty's once robust body has suddenly become unwell every day...

Rong Chengxuan paid no attention to the reactions of the people in the room. After saying those polite words, he looked at Yun Wanwan and said, "Miss Yun, this hairpin is very unique."

Yun Wanwan subconsciously touched the hairpin on her head. When she entered the venue, she felt that everyone was staring at her, and now it seemed that they might be staring at her hairpin.

"It's a gift from His Highness, so it's naturally unique."

The Queen said: "Miss Yun, please don't joke. This Nine Heavens Moon-embracing Hairpin belongs to Princess Jiuli, so it is naturally extremely valuable."

Princess Jiuli’s Nine-Sky Moon-Grabbing Hairpin?

Yun Wanwan felt like her brain wasn't enough.

As far as he could remember, Princess Jiuli was Rong Chengxuan's biological sister, a twin born from the same womb, or what we would call a boy-and-girl twin in modern times.

Princess Jiuli and Rong Chengxuan have been wandering around together since they were young, but she disappeared along the way and there has been no news of her since then.

After purging the emperor's court, Rong Chengxuan named his sister Rong Lili the Princess Jiuli, but he never found the person.

Thinking of Rong Chengxuan's attitude towards the pendant...

No way?!

Then why did he give this hairpin to me?

Not only she couldn't figure it out, but everyone present couldn't figure it out either, which was why they were staring at Yun Wanwan and whispering to each other just now.

Yun Yaoyao listened to everyone whispering about how much Prince An loved Yun Wanwan, loving her so much that he gave her his sister's hairpin as a betrothal gift, and her heart ached even more.

She should have been the eldest daughter of the general's mansion.

She should have been the future Princess An!

Why did this woman have to come and destroy her life? !

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Yun Yaoyao suddenly stood up and knelt at the table, "Your Highness Prince An, Your Majesty the Queen, I have something to report."

"oh?"

The queen raised her eyebrows.

"I would like to accuse Yun Wanwan of being a witch. She knows witchcraft and has used it to frame me many times. I beg Your Highness Prince An to help me!"
