"Ah Chee! Ah Chee! ..."
A series of sounds kept on going, the sound of the sneezing was louder than the crowd. Everyone was so surprised to see it.
Guo Fei’er’s image at that moment was completely ruined. Her whole face was covered with slobber and snort, and even her clothes were all dirtied. That’s not it. Her sneezing wouldn’t stop!
The ridiculing eyes around her looked at her.
She couldn\'t wait to find a place to hide in!
Damn it!
It was meant for that garbage to drink it. How did I end up drinking it instead?
Ye Qingli\'s movements when changing wine were extremely fast. Without talking about the others, even Guo Fei’er didn\'t notice it.
She did not expect that Ye Qingli would swap the wine!
She also thought that she mistakenly spiked the drink.
Madam Yan\'s face turned white.
After this incident of rude behaviour, Guo Fei’er’s reputation was surely going to take a hit!
Finally, a servant came and pulled Guo Fei’er away, but the discussions around her were still drifting into her ears.
"I’ve heard that her grandmother was a little concubine from a High Official’s household!"
"Sure enough, with one look, she is not presentable at all. It is a waste for such a good face!"
"*Spit*. She looks like a fox demon, with a look at her, she looks so slutty!" [1]
[1] - A fox demon/spirit, or Huli Jing, in Chinese mythology was often depicted as a beautiful and "playful" woman. While there are good and virtuous stories of these fox spirits there are also stories of them being vengeful, ruthless and even depraved spirits leading to punishment by Nüwa, the mother-goddess of Chinese Mythology, and thus this can be taken as an insult and compliment at the same time.
"That’s right, your sister who has such a noble feel, she is the most suitable candidate for the king’s concubine!"
Guo Fei’er was so angry that it almost made her vomit blood!
She was dragged out to find a place to have her clothes changed, however, her eyes were giving death stares at Ye Qingli.
The intent from her eyes was obvious.
Just you wait, this is not the end for today!
Ye Qingli couldn\'t care less about the provocative eyes of that little girl.
At that moment, Prince Lu had already composed three impromptu poems and won a full house of applause. Ye Yunxiao beside him happily stood up.
"Today we have such clear and refreshing autumn weather. We might as well learn ancient Tibetan customs. The prince and I will each pour a cup of wine. Ladies and gentlemen, whoever receives the wine cup, will have to recite a poem, or how about performing?"
Everyone\'s eyes were lit up.
This was a good way to show off their talent!
Whether it is a wealthy bachelor or a wealthily brought-up young lady, as long as they were able to perform something, they would definitely become famous!
Ye Yunxiao took two wine cups and smiled towards the prince. Each of the cups was placed on a tray and floated on top of the stream.
She then said: "Start the drums!"
In the middle of the garden was a small stream with the males on one side and the females on the other. The wine cups slowly floated down the stream. After a while, someone shouted: "Stop!"
Then, the person in front of the cup has to pick it up. After that, he or she has to either perform or drink the cup of wine immediately.
First, the young lady from the Chen family who played the zither, she won everyone’s applause. Then, there was the daughter from the Hou family, who performed a sword dance. Then there was a young lady from the Huang merchant family who performed the art of making tea.
In the event, there was a smile on the prince’s face, and he applauded from time to time.
The three ladies were excited and merry.
They then lowered their heads and whispered.
I’ve heard that within this banquet, there were some noble people from the palace who participated in it.
Not to mention, the age of the several princes were not small anymore. They have reached the age to select their wife candidates, what if they were chosen because of this?
If they were chosen by the Prince to be by his side as his concubine, they would be satisfied with it.
Who knows if they would be lucky and become the imperial consort!
Ye Jinli followed Guo Fei’er to change her clothes. Ye Qingli sat there by herself quietly. She was just sipping tea and tasting the dishes on the table. At this moment, the drum sound suddenly stopped.
Followed by, Ye Yunxiao’s gentle voice: “Elder sister, it’s your turn!”
