Chapter 318: Naughty Child Bei Yanyu
Chapter 318: Naughty Child Bei Yanyu
Many people were whispering. Madam Cao, who disliked Madam Qiu, was even more proud and consoled her: "Madam Qiu, even though the princess doesn't care about you, we are still here."
"You just can't invite the princess, but you can find a whole courtyard of people."
"Even if we lose face in front of the princess, we are here to give you face, so your birthday won't be too lonely~"
If it weren't for the words "although", "just", and "even if".
Mrs. Qiu almost thought that she was really kind.
But she was very calm and knew that the second princess was going to find a treasure for her.
When the time comes, take it out and blind these people’s eyes!
On the young lady’s birthday, it’s natural for the young ladies to play together.
Everyone took out the precious flowers and plants they had prepared, competing with each other in beauty.
Flower lovers are dazzled by the sight of them all, but their hearts bleed when they think that these delicate flowers, raised with great effort by craftsmen, are finally reduced to being used for fun by a group of young men.
The atmosphere reached its climax when Madam Cao put out her white crown and lotus tripod.
Especially the ladies who came from other aristocratic families, they did not hide their flattery and envy towards her.
Even Mrs. Qiu's sister couldn't help but sigh: "Is this the most beautiful flower in the world?"
"It is an orchid, but its shape is like a lotus, simple, elegant and beautiful."
Mrs. Qiu glared at her and asked, "Who are you on?"
Mrs. Qiu moved closer to her eldest sister and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be angry, sister. We are sure to lose this time, but next time it is her birthday, we must go to her place and take the spotlight."
"Don't be angry~"
Someone asked Madam Cao, "Didn't they say that this flower was bought by the elder? The Cao family is really very powerful. It's so hard to get it from him."
Madam Cao stood there proudly, her chin unconsciously raised slightly.
He said in a very pretentious manner: "What's the big deal? It's just a flower. I am a direct descendant of the Cao family. I can find any good thing I want."
"Even the tributes from the palace are much better than this."
All of a sudden, the birthday boy was ignored, and the focus of the banquet became another person, just as Mrs. Qiu had expected.
but......
"The Second Princess has arrived——"
The suspicion that Madam Qiu was not liked by the princess was dispelled.
Bei Yanyu didn't know how the situation would develop, but she came to support her friend, and the first thing she said was not to ask everyone who was bowing to stand up.
But: "Finally caught up."
She took the little sister's hand, helped her up, and said, "I think that ordinary gifts are not worthy of you."
"I heard that you were going to hold a grass-fighting party, so I found a treasure to amuse you."
Then he remembered to ask everyone to stand up.
After handing the brocade box to Madam Qiu personally, she did not rush to open it and take it out, but glanced at Madam Cao.
She placed her white fingers on the brocade box lid, slightly opened it to look, and said in surprise, "Your Highness actually brought the treasure I wanted. This is a thousand times more precious than the Su Guan He Ding."
"As expected of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
This statement was suspected of bragging, and Lady Cao reminded her: "A princess's love is worth a fortune no matter what it is."
"But if we only talk about value, no matter what kind of flowers or plants they are, they still can't compare to the Suguan Lotus Cauldron, right?"
"Besides, this box isn't made of fresh flowers, and it's impossible to play a grass fight with dried flowers."
"Madam Qiu, don't let your tongue slip when you talk big. You are so ignorant that you have lost face for His Highness."
Madam Qiu also pulled her sleeves and begged, "Sister, please stop talking. What if His Highness gets angry if you say such big words?"
Looking at the rest of the people, they also felt that she was trying hard to save her face, but because Princess Yu was present, they didn't dare to say much.
Madam Qiu opened the brocade box and took out a straight, pure white beard.
No fool thought that the beard the princess gave as a gift would be an ordinary beard, but he could only guess: "Your Highness, which elder's beard is this?"
But it's too ridiculous. Who would cut off their beard and let the younger generation play with it? It's too degrading.
Bei Yanyu said proudly: "Do you know the poet Xie Lingyun from the previous dynasty?"
Everyone gasped, unable to hide their expressions.
Madam Cao questioned, "Your Highness, Mr. Xie's beard was donated to Xiangji Temple to be used as a decoration for Buddha statues. How could it be in your hands?"
Madam Qiu was like a little fox with the support of a tiger. She took advantage of the tiger's power and replied with great momentum: "The whole world belongs to the king. Whatever the princess wants, even the big Buddha must be given to her."
"If you don't believe me, go and have a look. The beard on the Buddha statue is long gone."
Until the end, Mrs. Qiu was always flattered and enjoyed great glory.
After all, the princess even got such things as gifts for her.
Bei Yanyu had been immersed in complacency until today, completely unaware that danger was approaching rapidly.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
Hmm? It's cold.
So she put it down and asked, "Who is in charge of warming the tea today?"
A young eunuch stood up and said, "Your Highness, it is this servant."
The green porcelain hit him on the forehead.
The little eunuch's forehead swelled up quickly, and he knelt down to apologize: "Your Highness, please calm down. I deserve to die!"
"Don't you know it's cold? How dare you neglect your duty?"
"I've already drunk a mouthful of cold water today. If you have pain during your period next time, I'll show you how I can deal with you."
But you obviously feel pain every time...
Moreover, he was already on time to change the water, but...
But he didn't dare to refute and could only let his anger be vented.
Just as he was preparing for a more severe punishment, a menacing little girl rushed in with a feather duster.
I asked casually, "What did he do wrong that you want to flog him?"
Bei Yanyu replied: "Eldest sister, he let my water get cold and didn't even change it."
"It made me drink a mouthful of cold water today!"
Bei Jingchu scratched her ears with her free hand, suspecting that she had heard wrongly.
I couldn't believe that my sister, who was like a little white rabbit, could be so naively cruel to other people.
It's like a child using water to scald an ant to death, naive yet full of malice.
Take pleasure in the struggles of the weak.
The clever child knew best who not to mess with, and could see that the eldest sister was unhappy, so he spoke softly.
She also secretly stretched out her little hand and tried to take the feather duster that Bei Jingchu was holding in her right hand.
Unsuccessful, could not lift it.
The next moment, the feather duster hit her on the butt.
Not to mention, it feels just as soft as I remember.
"Ouch~!"
Bei Jingchu was really angry.
"You just left the palace for a birthday party, and you caused me such a big disaster! Huh?"
"I thought pulling out a tiger's beard was considered heroic, but you dared to pull out the beard of Vimalakirti Buddha!"
"You're not a warrior, you're a gangster!"
