Chapter 116 116: Wen Yunchuan is in love with someone else
Qiu Bai said awkwardly: "The emperor got drunk in the afternoon and went to the wrong palace. Unexpectedly, the fifth lady was resting in the palace. The emperor mistakenly thought that she was a concubine in the palace, so he was frivolous with the fifth lady."
This, drunken sex?
Wen Nianruan always felt that Xiao Jinran would not do such a thing, but he did not rule out that he was tricked.
Wen Ruchu always ran to the palace during this period, and he might have been planning this matter.
Now that Wen Nianruan and the Queen Mother have fallen out, the Queen Mother can no longer use her as a pawn and can only find someone else.
So, Wen Ruchu is considered a chess piece of the Queen Mother?
But with Wen Ruchu's temperament, Wen Nianruan didn't believe that she would be so well-behaved and taken advantage of by others.
Unless the Queen Mother promised her any benefits.
While Wen Nianruan was deep in thought, Yushuang came over and held an invitation: "Your Majesty, this is a message from Princess Wen. It says that Prince Wen's Mansion is holding a banquet the day after tomorrow for you to attend."
Wen Nianruan took the invitation and glanced at it casually, threw it on the table in front of him, and asked with a lazy look, "Who have been invited to participate?"
"I heard that there is Concubine Jia, as well as some noble ladies and young men from the Imperial Capital."
Jia Fei is Wen Ruchu's title.
I don’t know the significance of Princess Wen and his wife holding this banquet.
And not long after Wen Ruochu's last miscarriage, he had just finished recuperating and now he couldn't wait to come out and become a monster?
The day after tomorrow, Wen Nianruan slept until noon. Yushuang reminded her about the banquet, and then she remembered that she wanted to attend the banquet held in Prince Wen's Mansion.
By the time Wen Nianruan arrived after packing, the banquet had already begun.
The only ladies who came from the palace were Wen Ruchu and Wen Nianruan. The others were all young masters and ladies from noble families in the imperial capital. This banquet was all about young people.
"I thought the fourth sister wasn't going to come, but I didn't expect that it was almost lunch time before the fourth sister came."
Wen Ruochu chuckled lightly, with a hint of ridicule, the implication being that Wen Nianruan was here for lunch.
Wen Ruchu was sitting next to her. After being made empress, she also carried a certain sense of nobility in her actions. She smiled softly and said: "Fifth sister is not in good health, so it's normal to sleep a little longer."
The two sisters sang together, but Wen Nianruan ignored them and found a place to sit down by himself.
Although Wen Ruochu has been well and pampered for a while since her last miscarriage, her face is still sickly pale. In addition, she has been sick since she was a child, and her health is not good now.
Xiao Weifeng sat aside, his eyes falling on Wen Nianruan from time to time, dark and hot.
He found Wen Nianruan more and more charming, and he couldn't forget her more and more.
From the corner of her eye, Wen Ruochu saw Xiao Weifeng looking at Wen Nianruan, secretly pinching his palms, and his eyes became gloomy.
She covered her mouth with a brocade handkerchief and coughed a few times. Xiao Weifeng immediately came to his senses and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with Ruochu? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little angry." Wen Ruochu gave a stiff smile.
Wen Nianruan turned his eyes and glanced at the seats and found that Wen Yunchuan and Shen Lingzhi were also there.
When he was at the Hou Mansion the day before yesterday, Li Huachun locked Shen Lingzhi in the woodshed and released her within two days, presumably because Wen Deyan begged for mercy.
Originally, Shen Lingzhi was not invited to the banquet, but she heard that Li Huachun introduced a girl to Wen Yunchuan, who was Pei Yiqing, the second daughter of Zuo Xiangfu. And Pei Yiqing was also at the banquet today, and Shen Lingzhi was heartbroken.
He was so angry that he insisted on pestering Wen Yunchuan to come with him.
Shen Lingzhi was sitting far away from Wen Yunchuan, but her eyes were always on Wen Yunchuan, for fear that he would take another look at the other girls.
At the beginning of the banquet, Wen Yunchuan had already met Pei Yiqing under the introduction of Wen Ruochu. As the second daughter of Zuo Xiangfu, Pei Yiqing's appearance and temperament were both excellent. After Wen Yunchuan met him, He immediately couldn't move his eyes away and started to get interested.
Wen Yunchuan was not an affectionate person to begin with, and it was impossible for his eyes to be filled with Shen Lingzhi. Since he had met a better woman than her, why would he still be entangled with Shen Lingzhi.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wen Yunchuan came to Pei Yiqing with a wine glass, polite and graceful: "Miss Pei, let me toast you."
"Thank you, Master Wen."
Pei Yiqing's face turned red and she took a sip from the wine glass in front of her. Her pretty face turned even redder from the drunkenness.
Wen Yunchuan looked at her with scorching eyes, and Pei Yiqing looked shy. She didn't put the wine glass in place, and it fell to the ground, and the wine inside accidentally spilled on her skirt.
"No, I'm sorry, I made Master Wen laugh."
Pei Yiqing's face was full of shame and she quickly found a handkerchief to wipe the hem of her skirt.
"Don't move, I'll do it."
Wen Yunchuan spoke softly, took out the handkerchief early and squatted in front of Pei Yiqing, gently wiping the wine stains on her skirt.
Pei Yi's eyes were filled with love, her heart was beating wildly, and she said softly: "Thank you."
"Miss Pei, you're welcome."
Wen Yunchuan raised his eyes to look at her, and Pei Yiqing quickly looked away, her face even more intense.
Wen Nianruan held his forehead, narrowed his fox eyes and said softly: "You are dressed like a beast, but you are sanctimonious."
Turning his eyes to look at Shen Lingzhi sitting in the distance, she was gnashing her teeth as if she wanted to step forward and tear Pei Yiqing apart.
After Wen Yunchuan left, a beautiful woman sat next to Pei Yiqing. This was Pei Yiqian, the daughter-in-law of Zuo Xiangfu and Pei Yiqing's sister. She smiled and asked, "What do you think of Master Wen, sister?"
Pei Yiqing lowered her eyes and blushed: "It's okay."
Pei Yiqian got married last year and has been through all the love affairs. One look at her sister's shy look and she knew she had a crush on Wen Yunchuan.
Pei Yiqian joked: "What does it mean to be okay? If possible, you can get to know Mr. Wen better together. If you don't like him, I will tell my mother when I go back and let this marriage go. I can't wrong my sister." "
"Sister, I didn't say no."
Pei Yiqing's voice was thin and she was very embarrassed. She was a daughter who was raised in a boudoir since she was a child. Her education and etiquette were excellent. She was also very reserved in her feelings and did not dare to go overboard in the slightest.
"Okay, sister is joking," Pei Yiqian patted her hand and warned: "Now I think that Mr. Wen is pretty good. I heard that he won the election last year and has a good career, but he knows people well but doesn't know what they know. You We need to learn more about his personality, and we cannot be vague about our marriage to the Wen family."
She couldn't let her sister marry into the Wen family and suffer injustice.
"I understand," Pei Yiqing responded obediently.
In this compartment, after Wen Nianruan had eaten and drank enough, he got up to go to the toilet. On the way back, a quarrel suddenly came from behind a rockery.
"Cousin, have you forgotten your promise to me before? You promised that you would marry me in the future, but now you are with that Pei Yiqing."
Shen Lingzhi's voice could be heard to be very excited and full of anger.
"We will discuss our matters later. Miss Pei was specially introduced to me by my mother. I cannot disobey her, so I can only obey. You stay away from me during this period. What if Miss Pei sees her and misunderstands her."
