Chu Wang Fei

Chapter 62: One Birthday Banquet Attracted Hate(2/2)

till pick at Yun Qian Meng’s fault?

After Yu Qian Di picked up a Buddha green tea cookie, she also picked one. She gently took a bite. A surge of green tea fragrance burst in her mouth. This Buddha green tea cookie looked like dessert, but it only brought a little sweetness. Presumably, it’s still Meng yatou who is caring. She knows that elders can’t eat too much of sweets, so she reduced the sugar.

The crowd also didn’t think that such a beautiful delicate Buddha green tea cookie will have such a fresh taste. It also removed the greasiness that was just in the mouth.

A moment later, there isn’t even one Buddha green tea cookie left from that full plate. Everyone looked at Yun Qian Meng while stroking their slightly swollen belly. They have an incredible expression on.

Chu Fei Yang noticed that Yun Qian Meng’s sleeve is contaminated with a little of red. The smiling eyes became slightly serious.

Hai Tian noticed everyone’s expression. They looked at Yun Qian Meng full of appreciation. In her eyes flashed that she can’t accept it. After drinking a gulp of tea, she said smilingly: “Emperor, empress dowager, Miss Yun’s skills is really good. Thinking about it, Miss Yun must be proficient in the four arts (zither, chess, calligraphy and painting). Don’t know whether Miss Yun wants to perform for us?”

After hearing that, Yun Qian Meng lifted her eyes and looked at Hai Tian. She saw that in Hai Tian’s smiling eyes, little hate can be detected. Those slightly lifted lips are full of pride.

Yun Qian Meng has no desire to compare with her. Plus, today she has already shone in front of the people. If she shine anymore, she is afraid that she won’t be able to live a free life anymore. So she politely declined: “Junzhu is looking too highly at Qian Meng. If we has to say who is the most talented in Xi Chu, then surely no one can compare to junzhu. Moreover, there’s a limit to a person’s ability. Qian Meng learned cooking with her heart and didn’t have much time to study poetry and literature. Asking junzhu to understand.”

But Hai Tian doesn’t intend to let Yun Qian Meng go. Seeing her refusing like that, Hai Tian got really angry in her heart. She firmly believe that Yun Qian Meng thought that she already shone and got everyone’s praise, so she (YQM) didn’t put her (HT) in her (YQM) eyes anymore. The smile in those eyes disappeared. Her mouth sneered. With a cold voice, she continued to attack: “Miss Yun doesn’t put ben junzhu in your eyes?”

Qu Fei Qing saw that Hai Tian is being so aggressive, her heart formed resentment. Just now Meng er served everyone with a meal. Now this Hai Tian still wants Meng er to perform? What does she think Meng er is? Meng er is xiangfu’s Miss. Even if she didn’t have xiangye’s love, but she is still a lady. Does Hai Tian thinks that she is a servant that will come just because Hai Tian called?

Yun Qian Meng is restraining the anger in her heart. Although she didn’t know what Hai Tian misunderstood, but she can’t expose her in public. She can only use her brain to search for a solution.

Everyone also heard that in the tone of Hai Tian is full of challenge at Yun Qian Meng. They also know that the junzhu that lives in Hai wangfu has great ambition. And because she has the looks and the talent, she is very arrogant. Seeing that Meng er has shone in cooking, presumably the heart of this junzhu is unhappy. She must make Yun Qian Meng into a fool.

When everyone thought that Yun Qian Meng has been intimidated by Hai Tian’s challenge, Yun Qian Meng still has a calm expression. The tone of her voice is indifferent. The slight smile on her face turned deeper.

“Junzhu’s speech is wrong. To can be in junzhu’s eyes, its Qian Meng’s honor. But today is waizumu’s birthday. Qian Meng has already offered a gift, how can I occupy the time for others to offer their gifts? Qian Meng’s san jiujiu and shi jiujiu waited for a long time outside. Even if Qian Meng is really talented, but I also understood that today’s star is waizumu. How can I steal the limelight?”

One speech to retreat, turning from the defensive to the offensive, making the aggressive Hai Tian even if she has fire in her heart but she couldn’t release it. That pair of eyes looked at Yun Qian Meng. Then she looked at the higher seats. The empress dowager’s expression isn’t as good as before. Hai Tian forced herself to swallow the anger in her heart. She smiled at Yun Qian Meng: “Since it’s like that, it’s Hai Tian who overstepped her bounds. If there’s another opportunity, I would like to learn poetry and literature with Miss Yun.”

Lao Tai Jun has always protected her family. Seeing that Hai Tian still dared to be so arrogant at her place, the smiling eyes cooled down. And she also saw that Yun Qian Meng was busy for half a day but didn’t get to have a meal yet, she said considerately: “Meng er and Fei er, go down and have a meal.”

Yun Qian Meng knows that Lao Tai Jun said that for her. She bowed with Qu Fei Qing and went out.

“Look at what I just said. That Hai Tian is obviously not a good person.”

Going out of the yuan, Qu Fei Qing began to fight for justice. Just now, if it wasn’t because of Yun Qian Meng’s clever reply, she would have rushed forward and set Hai Tian straight.

At this moment, there isn’t any anger detected on Yun Qian Meng. She pleasantly took a deep breath. She shook Qu Fei Qing’s arm and said: “Meng er knows that biaojie loves Meng er the most. However if biaojie got angry, doesn’t that mean that you fell into that person’s trap? Others treating us like that, instead we should be happier. We can’t be in pain because of that and make the enemy happy. If biaojie get angry, I believe that that person will even wake up laughing from her dreams.”

Qu Fei Qing saw that Yun Qian Meng turned fallacious reason into reasons and also teasing her, for a time her cheeks turned red form shame.

By this time, the mama at Ji Shu Yu’s side came over to get Qu Fei Qing to go to the front yard to entertain the other women.

Yun Qian Meng saw that this is the opportunity da jiumu made to let Qu Fei Qing learn how to be in charge of a fu. She smiled and advised Qu Fei Qing who didn’t want to leave.

When there is only her left in the garden, the smile on Yun Qian Meng’s face disappeared. Thinking about Hai Tian’s actions, she thought that it’s appropriate to stay far away from Chu wangfu. But what you’re afraid of will come at you. When she turned around, she saw that Chu Fei Yang is standing behind her. One pair of black eyes shining with laughter is staring at her, scaring Yun Qian Meng that her heart skipped a beat. Then she immediately adjusted her composure and took a step back to put distance between her and Chu Fei Yang.

“Greetings to Chu xiang.”

Chu Fei Yang saw Yun Qian Meng’s panic the moment she saw him and he also saw how she is calming herself now. In his heart, he felt that she is really different from others. If it was another woman, being approached by a strange mane, they will be already in fear and panic. But Yun Qian Meng can react in an instant and can put an extremely calm attitude to ease herself. What kind of woman is she? What did she experience? Why is she calm like she has already lived for a few lifetimes?

However, this time Chu Fei Yang came to the garden it’s not to explore the mystery around Yun Qian Meng. He pulled out a white porcelain bottle and put in front of Yun Qian Meng. He said in a serious tone: “The hand is injured, don’t let it get in contact with water. Apply this cream daily. Not even ten days, the skin will recover as new.”

Yun Qian Meng looked at the bottle in front of her, but didn’t reach her hand out to accept it. On contrary, she is thinking about the reason that Chu Fei Yang has come. Moreover, Xi Chu has very strict requirements for women. It’s absolutely not permitted for man and woman to be alone.

Chu Fei Yang has no room to let her slowly ponder. Plus the fact that he is originally not someone who follows the etiquettes. Seeing that Yun Qian Meng is thinking, he put the bottle of cream into her hands. And he himself disappeared from the garden without a breath.

Yun Qian Meng looked at the bottle of cream in her hand. While her heart is upset, but she can only hid it in her sleeves. She decided to go back to Qu Fei Qing’s Ting Yu Xuan to rest. But she hasn’t even walked hundred meters, when she saw Rong Yun He coming towards her. Yun Qian Meng wanted to avoid, but when Rong Yun He saw her, he actually accelerated his speed. He quickly walked to her. He put a blue bottle in front of her. Then he cleared his throat and said awkwardly: “Zumu let me give this to you.”

While talking, he put the bottle next to Yun Qian Meng’s feet. Then he turned and left. Yun Qian Meng looked at the blue bottle next to her feet and thought about the white bottle in her sleeves, she felt a headache forming.
