No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top
Chapter 9: Overdoing it, Mistaking Yourself for Mistakes
Xue Yangyang had just recovered from the empress dowager's warm embrace when she was led by a female official to sit in the pavilion nearest to the main hall.
After all the relatives and dignitaries had gradually sat down, Xue Yangyang finally figured out what was going on.
Those who sat in the main hall with the Empress Dowager were all the royal relatives and concubines. The families of the high officials were placed in the pavilions closest to the main hall like her, and the next highest were arranged in some corner pavilions to enjoy themselves.
The male and female guests in the pavilion and corner pavilion were also separated by screens, which was really painstaking.
"You are so likable, why didn't the Queen Mother invite you to sit in the main hall?" Xue Qingqing said with a sour look on her face as she held the cup in her hand.
Xue Yangyang was too lazy to argue with this idiot who didn't know the difference between high and low.
Suddenly she discovered another strange thing.
How come the dozen young ladies from aristocratic families sitting under a pavilion are all wearing plain clothes and simple hairpins, except me.
Xue Yangyang was hesitating, and Xue Qingqing seemed to have noticed this problem, so she whispered to the lady on the other side.
"This must be the daughter of Minister Feng! Why are all of you wearing the same clothes today?"
"Ms. Xue must have the same idea as us, why are you still asking?" As soon as the young lady said this, the sisters behind her covered their faces and laughed shyly.
This made Xue Qingqing blush and she even glared at Xue Yangyang next to her.
Xue Yangyang then recalled Xiao Tao's words, "Not many people know about this?"
My dear ancestors, I shouldn't have believed Xiao Tao's words.
The young marquis' preferences were all known to the young ladies from the aristocratic families. How could Xue Qingqing stand out among them?
But Xiao Tao was right in one thing, that is, not only in Yuzhou or the Jingwei, everyone was rushing to marry the young marquis,
"The young marquis of Changguo is the most glorious one in the Central Plains. Which young lady from aristocratic family would not be tempted!" A bold young lady from aristocratic family suddenly said this, instantly revealing everyone's thoughts.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't be dressed like this today. All the sisters are top-notch and good-looking. The young marquis would definitely not look down on me, right?"
"I feel so too!"
Everyone was arguing non-stop.
A man wearing a brocade robe with a waistband and a jade hairpin on his head suddenly came from the side of the pavilion.
Everyone was shocked and their hearts were beating fast. This was the young Marquis of Changguo, Yuwen Bo, who they mentioned was the most glorious Marquis in the Central Plains.
When Xue Yangyang saw Xue Qingqing beside him, he was so excited that he wanted to flip his fingernails off, but he still bit his lip and pretended to be calm.
Is this what the legendary girlfriend fan looks like when she meets her idol?
Xue Yangyang sighed in her heart. Modern times are still better. The handsome electronic boyfriend is updated every month. What about Cheng Yi! Wang Hedi! Zhang Linghe! Isn't it better than this?
"Ms. Xue's outfit today is really clever!"
Before he could swallow the tea in his mouth, the young marquis suddenly appeared in front of Xue Yangyang and bowed his hands.
Clever? Shouldn't I think it's tacky? Xue Yangyang was puzzled.
Seeing Xue Yangyang in a trance, Xue Qingqing, who was standing beside him, pulled Xue Yangyang up and hurriedly said something.
"Young Marquis is polite. I am a dull sister. I am afraid that this homemade hairpin on my head may have offended your eyes!" After saying this, she used her orchid finger to tidy up the hair hanging down beside her ears.
"Oh! Second Miss Xue, you are joking. The ingenuity of baking flowers is much more interesting than those gold and jade! If you say that Miss Xue is dull, I don't think so. She is actually a fool with great wisdom!"
If this young marquis can't speak, then don't talk. Why is he even discussing whether he is stupid or not?
Aren’t you just deliberately causing trouble for yourself?
"Haha! Haha!" Xue Yangyang just kept on grinning foolishly, acting as silly as he could!
Although I am indeed clever and this young marquis has good vision, I am not here to hear any compliments at this time!
"Young Marquis, my sister has been so foolish since she was young, it's just that you are kind-hearted!" If Xue Qingqing didn't restrain her gaze, she would probably drool.
"Silly! Haha! Silly!" Xue Yangyang was almost tired of acting, wondering why this young marquis was still looking at her like an idiot.
"Young Master, all the guests in the main hall have arrived. You'd better go there quickly to wish the Queen Mother a happy birthday." The eunuch behind him hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Oh!" The young marquis finally reacted, "Misses Xue, I'll take my leave first!"
Before leaving, his eyes were still on Xue Yangyang, which made Xue Qingqing very angry.
A young lady from an aristocratic family suddenly asked, "Could it be that the rumors are true? Lord Zuo Xiang wants to introduce Miss Xue to the young marquis?"
"Ah? Miss Xue's IQ?"
"Didn't you see the look in the young marquis's eyes when he saw Miss Xue just now? Even though he is not as smart as her, that look is unmatched, isn't it?"
These few mutterings made Xue Yangyang appear to be an extremely useless vase!
Even Xue Qingqing looked at her with eyes that seemed to want to scratch his face immediately.
When Xue Qingqing thought about how such a kind and excellent young marquis would marry her silly sister, she was so angry.
What a bad idea! Xue Yangyang took a sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth sadly.
But he saw a familiar figure walking towards him from a distance, but his eyes did not show any intention of even glancing at Xuan Ting. Instead, he went straight to the main hall.
"Is that General Tang Yuwei?"
These women from noble families are really well-informed. There is no one they don’t know!
It turns out that the person who saved me underwater that day was this Tang Yuwei?
Xue Yangyang vaguely remembered that when they were meeting in Qiansi Mansion, his father had mentioned this person, saying that this person had been stationed in the desert all year round!
Desert! Desert is great! Smoke rises straight up from the desert, and the sun sets over the long river! And there is also lamb shank mixed with pilaf!
"Yes, he really is a cold-faced evil star. Just looking at him makes people shudder!"
"But his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes are no less handsome than that of the Marquis!"
"Come on! Who would dare to approach the man who walks around the pile of dead bodies every day?"
Xue Yangyang found the conversations between these young ladies from aristocratic families to be as interesting as reading a storybook.
I really don’t know what kind of person Tang Yuwei is. But if he is really an evil star, how could he save me from the water?
It’s a pity that they were in this pavilion and couldn’t hear anything going on in the main hall, which was very boring.
The main hall was bustling with activity, but since Tang Yuwei arrived, it immediately became much quieter.
"You kid, you haven't been home for several years! Come over here and have a drink with your grandmother!"
The Queen Mother's eyes moistened when she saw Tang Yuwei.
The eunuch beside him immediately echoed, "The Queen Mother always thinks of the Princess whenever she sees General Tang. Now that she has met him, she should be happy!"
As he spoke, he slowly poured the wine into the cup, held up the jade tray and handed it to Tang Yuwei.
Tang Yuwei looked at the wine in the glass and couldn't help but clench his fist.
"Ten years ago, you gave my mother a glass of wine just like you did today!"
This matter was a royal taboo, but unexpectedly, a glass of wine touched Tang Yuwei's reverse scale, forcing him to think of the incident ten years ago when his mother, the Princess Royal, was given poisoned wine.
The Queen Mother felt a little frightened, but she still signaled the maids beside her not to make a fuss.
"Tang'er! If you don't like this wine, don't drink it. After all, it's bad for your health. Sit down quickly and try this ginseng and black chicken soup to replenish your body. You've been in the desert all year round, you can't compare to this Beijing guard!"
As he said this, he called the eunuch next to him and gave him some instructions.
Then he gave the order and the maids quickly removed the wine from all the tables.
Even the wine in the pavilion and corner pavilion was removed.
"Why is this happening? It's early spring now and it's fine to have a little wine to warm ourselves up. Why are we leaving?" a puzzled young lady from an aristocratic family said.
The maids only focused on removing the wine and did not dare to say anything. They just said, "Since the general is not happy, we have no choice but to come and bother you!"
Tang Yuwei is unhappy? The Queen Mother wants to remove the wine? What a great honor!
