Quick Travel: The fishing beauty refuses cannon fodder

Chapter 467: Grudge-holding Little Phoenix (17)

The Winter Plum Banquet was held in the village of the eldest princess in the outskirts. There were about twenty acres of plum trees planted in the village. The venue was spacious and it was indeed a good place to enjoy the scenery.

The eldest princess's banquet was always a big event, and all kinds of carriages were already parked outside Zhuangzi. The young men or young ladies from each family got off the carriage one after another, and there was a faint fragrance like clouds, and it was very lively.

As soon as Shi Rong met Song Yuzhu, Song Yuzhu looked him up and down in surprise, talking nonsense, and even reached out to hook his chin.

"Rong Rong, why did you suddenly think of wearing white clothes today? She is quite beautiful. She looks like a little widow who lost her husband. She is so pitiful. Come on, give me a smile."

Shi Rong's face turned dark.

Song Yuzhu, what kind of bad description is this? What a little widow who lost her husband, so pitiful... Can these words be related to his appearance?

Shi Rong knocked Song Yuzhu's hand off with a "snap" and glared at him angrily, her cheeks flushed with anger, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

When Shirong is dressed in red, she always makes people feel bright and lively, and difficult to get close to. But his white clothes may be a little too baggy, which makes his figure extraordinarily weak and slender, making him look particularly easy to bully.

In particular, he looked embarrassed, his cheeks were red, and his eyes were full of water. He really looked like a little widow who had been bullied by a villain and didn't know what to do.

"How can I talk nonsense?" Song Yuzhu pinched Shi Rong's waist restlessly with his hands and feet, and sighed: "You don't know how many young masters will be charmed to death by your appearance."

Shi Rong looked stiff again.

Why did he deliberately put on this white clothes? Isn't it just to dazzle everyone?

He gritted his teeth, "I don't want to charm any young man to death... My mother forced me to come to this Winter Plum Banquet. Yuzhu, you have to help me."

Song Yuzhu sighed and looked at Shi Rong sympathetically, "Rong Rong, don't you understand? It doesn't matter whether you met the person you like at this Winter Plum Banquet. What matters is that your mother wants to use this to declare you News that the pregnancy mole is about to mature.”

Shi Rong was stunned.

He never thought that there would be such a thing...

Song Yuzhu blinked and continued, "There are quite a few young masters who are happy with you. I'm afraid that before tomorrow, the threshold of your family will be breached."

Shi Rong thought about the possibility of turning around and leaving, but when he turned around and saw the two familiar guards behind him, his face turned dark again. He dared to say that if he turned around and left, these two guards would definitely fight him at the Winter Plum Banquet.

At that time, I really lost all face.

"I really don't want to get married." Shi Rong entered the village with Song Yuzhu dejectedly.

Song Yuzhu asked curiously, "There are so many young masters who like you, and many of them are extremely good-looking and clean. Don't you like any of them?"

Shi Rong shook his head and said confidently: "No matter how good their appearance is, they are still not as good as me."

Song Yuzhu: "..."

It seems indeed...

No, what is it!

With Shi Rong looking like this, it's obvious that he hasn't figured it out yet. It seems that my aunt's plan may come to nothing.

……

The guests of the Hanmei Banquet are divided into two seats: men on the left, brothers and women on the right, and they sit in order of status. Thanks to Song Yuzhu, Shi Rong's seat was arranged next to him.

Song Yuzhu pinched a piece of snack, put it to Shi Rong's ear, and snickered, "Many young masters across the street are secretly looking at you, Rong Rong."

Shi Rong glared at Song Yuzhu in shame and said deliberately: "I also saw your fiancé. Isn't he staring at you right now without blinking?"

Song Yuzhu suddenly blushed with embarrassment. He glanced across the way, and after meeting the man's gentle gaze, he said "hum", lowered his head to eat snacks, and ignored Shi Rong.

The eyes of the young men on the opposite side were too hot, full of aggression and determination to win. Shi Rong didn't like this look. He turned his head irritably and looked around.

Seeing the young princes sitting below the eldest princess, Shi Rong poked Song Yuzhu in confusion, "How come there are still princes coming to the Hanmei Banquet?"

Song Yuzhu whispered, "The princes' marriages have already been decided. They just want to get along with their fiancées in advance, just like me."

Shi Rong nodded. He suddenly remembered the day he crawled out of the dog hole in Xuanninghou's mansion and was threatened. He looked at the princes seriously.

Unfortunately, perhaps because they wanted to participate in the Winter Plum Banquet, none of the princes were wearing white clothes...

When he was patronizing Fu Yantanyang, he actually forgot the humiliation of having a knife held against his neck that day! But even if he found out which prince was threatening him, how could he take revenge?

Song Yuzhu followed Shi Rong's gaze and was suddenly startled.

"How come the prince is also here? He and the prince have been married for several years! Could it be that this winter plum banquet is not just to attract unmarried men and women, but also has other meanings?"

Shi Rong didn't know much about this kind of thing. He lowered his head and took another bite of snacks and said nonchalantly, "Whatever, it won't involve us anyway."

"Why is that Yan State proton here too..." Song Yuzhu frowned. He knew that there had been friction between Qi State and Yan State recently. This Hanmei Banquet was probably really a Hongmen Banquet.

Hearing the familiar name, Shi Rong quickly raised his head. Sure enough, not far away, he saw Yan Tanyang, dressed in extremely simple white clothes, slowly walking in.

Although Yan Tanyang had a noble status, he was held as a hostage in Qi State. He had suffered humiliation for many years, and his status as a prince was in name only. But now, he is sitting at the head of the princes...

People were sitting down one after another. The eldest princess glanced at Yan Tanyang with a smile and said, "Your Highness Tanyang has been coming to our Qi Kingdom for many years, and has always stayed behind closed doors. It seems that our Qi Kingdom has not treated you well."

Yan Tanyang responded with a frightened and cowardly expression, and quickly stood up, "What did the eldest princess say? It's just that Tanyang is quiet by nature and doesn't like to go out. Qi's folk customs are warm and welcoming, and I feel at home."

While sitting at the table, several sneers sounded one after another.

The eldest princess looked at Yan Tan Yang with a kind smile, "I think His Highness Tan Yang has reached the age of getting married. It is human nature to marry and have children. I wonder if His Highness Tan Yang has someone he likes?"

As soon as the eldest princess said this, everyone in the audience was shocked.

This Yan State hostage has been held as a hostage in Qi State for ten years. He has always been unknown and few people paid attention to him. Why did the eldest princess suddenly want to be a matchmaker with him now?

And based on what the eldest princess meant, if the hostess of the Yan Kingdom fell in love with a brother or noble daughter, she would immediately match them up...

Someone smelled the coming storm, and a delicate lady complained to her friend in a low voice, "If I had known earlier, I would not have participated in this winter plum banquet."

"I don't know who is so unlucky as to marry this hostage."

"I don't know where the rumors came from recently. There is a civil war in Yan, and Qi State wants to send troops to attack Yan State. Before Yan Tanyang's mother clan was destroyed, his grandfather left an army for him..."
