Chapter 238 Calculation
The party was halfway through.
Everything that needed to be dealt with has been dealt with.
The emperor and empress left early.
As soon as the emperor and the queen left, the atmosphere immediately became cheerful.
People ate delicious food, watched singing and dancing, and gathered in groups of three or four to chat.
As the protagonists of tonight, the Fourth Prince, Princess Fuyao, and Lord Bai Ze are bound to be the focus of everyone's attention.
Then you must go and offer a toast.
Li Jiaojiao never refuses anyone who comes. No matter who the person is, as long as the other person comes with a glass of wine, she will drink it out of courtesy.
For someone who usually drinks a couple of glasses of wine alone, this is not a difficult thing.
However, in addition to toasting, the other party also chatted and talked about family matters, and even invited her to be their guest.
Please, he just came back from a business trip, shouldn’t he have a good rest for a few days?
It's fine for tonight's banquet, but it would be too much to ask her to start attending events tomorrow.
At least the emperor gave real and visible benefits. What can you give?
Li Jiaojiao became more and more impatient. She looked up and saw groups of young ladies leaving through the side door. Then she remembered that she could go out for a walk after the emperor left.
She let out a long sigh, left the little wolf with Lu Liang and walked out alone.
In the back garden.
Except for the spiral well and the vegetable garden, which have been protected, all other locations are decorated with beautiful palace lanterns.
Amid the flickering lights, colorful silks and satins were floating in the air.
Many people in the hall have come out to get some fresh air. Of course, they are not just coming out to get some fresh air, it is time for some small actions to be performed.
Li Jiaojiao looked coldly at a woman in the forest whose clothes were obviously wetted on purpose, and was led to change clothes.
She came out to get some fresh air and didn't want to talk to anyone, so she stood in a rather tricky position. She even used her wood-related abilities to change the aura around her, making it easy for people to ignore her presence.
That's why I saw the scene that was obviously designed.
The tea soaked the woman's dress, and then the man took her to the locker room, either to silence her or to drug her and catch her in adultery. She had often seen this scene on TV in her previous life, so she was familiar with it.
Li Jiaojiao tilted her head and didn't intend to meddle in other people's business.
After all, at every palace banquet, there will always be some accidents, and then a few idiots will be kicked out of the circle.
She believed that a woman who had seen a lot of such things should know more than her, who only gained experience from watching TV.
You deserve it if you are tricked by tricks you have seen since childhood.
She just had to wait a while and follow the crowd to watch the fun. After all, the big shows had to be performed at the critical moment when the audience arrived.
She looked up at the sky. The stars in the sky were blinking, and she could see the entire scene on the earth.
……
Lin Weilan looked at Lin Min'er's back as she left with someone else, and she felt so angry that her teeth were about to break. How could Lin Min'er dare to do that?
Did she know something in advance or was this her plan?
Otherwise, why rush out?
"Sister Lin, is Lin Min'er crazy? What does she want to do?" Meng Siyue pointed at Lin Min'er's figure with an incredible look on her face.
She was close and saw clearly that the tea was obviously intended to be poured on Lin Weilan, but at the critical moment Lin Min'er rushed forward and got her dress wet.
To outsiders, all they saw was that the tea was going to be poured on Lin Miner, and no one would see that she was blocking the water for her elder sister.
If not for fame, then what is her purpose in doing this?
Could it be that he was asking for trouble?
Or, does she know who is plotting against Sister Lin tonight?
Or maybe, she wants to take this opportunity to meet someone?
Meng Siyue and Lin Weilan looked at each other at the same time. Lin's mother and Meng's mother had both been called away by other ladies, and this matter could not be made public.
If Lin Min'er did anything tonight, the Lin family's reputation would be completely ruined, and Lin Weilan's future would also be ruined.
Such a thing must not happen.
"Siyue, go find Yuyi and borrow some people from her, and then bring them to pick me up. I will go and stop Lin Miner first. Since the other party has taken action, they must have other arrangements. Let's act separately." Lin Weilan instructed Meng Siyue and turned around to chase the person who left.
If Lin Min'er dares to do anything that brings shame to the Lin family, she will not forgive her.
Lin Weilan was extremely anxious, but she could only move forward carefully under the watchful eyes of everyone until she was out of the Imperial Garden. Not far ahead was the place for the ladies to change their clothes.
Lin Min'er's figure was not far away.
"Min'er." Lin Weilan said coldly.
Lin Min'er in front of her paused, then slowly turned around and asked timidly, "Eldest sister, why are you here?"
"Mother is worried about you being alone, so she asked me to come over to see you. I'll be with you, your elder sister." Lin Weilan stared at Lin Min'er with a pair of sharp eyes, with naked warnings in her eyes.
If Lin Min'er was determined not to let her follow, then she might as well not change her clothes tonight.
It is better to have dirty clothes than a dirty face.
Lin Min'er stood there without saying a word, seemingly unwilling but not daring to refuse, until Lin Weilan came close to her. She had no choice but to say, "Min'er thanks mother and elder sister. Elder sister, please."
She turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, then after Lin Weilan went over, she followed obediently.
In the side hall not far away, there were not many lights on, but the shadow of a woman could be seen on the window.
Probably someone who accidentally soiled her dress.
If someone deliberately did something bad, there would be no other people involved. Could it be that she was overthinking it?
Lin Weilan frowned slightly. She didn't drink much tonight, but she didn't expect the alcohol to have a strong aftereffect. After being blown by the wind for a while, she actually felt a little dizzy.
"Ladies, please come in." The maid who led the way pushed open the door of the side hall and stood guard at the door.
Lin Weilan glanced at her. It was a palace maid wearing uniform makeup. She kept her head down, so her appearance could not be seen.
Just from his exposed hands one could tell that he didn't know how to fight.
The maids in the palace, especially those who appear at banquets, usually do not do heavy work, so they will not get calluses on their hands.
The man's skin was delicate and there were no calluses on the base of his thumb, so Lin Weilan concluded that he did not know how to fight.
She withdrew her gaze from the palace maid under Lin Min'er's puzzled look, and then stepped in.
"Let's go." Another cold voice sounded from the hall, and it was the person who was changing clothes inside before.
The people who went in and the people who came out met each other. Lin Weilan and Lin Min'er greeted the newcomers, "Princess of Qingyang County."
Zhou Ruofu nodded slightly, her inquiring eyes swept over the two of them, and then she left with her maid.
When she reached the door and saw the person guarding it, she paused. This person looked familiar.
Then she shook her head again. She was the queen's niece. Unlike other noble ladies who could only enter the palace at banquets, she could enter the palace if summoned by the queen. So it was not surprising to meet one or two familiar palace maids.
