Falling into the trap
Author: Writer Yue Ye
The breeze blows, and the fragrance becomes more intense.
"Cousin An Ge, can I take advantage of you and have a drink?"
"My cousin is joking, please drink."
While talking and laughing, the eldest princess Yiyang appeared at the banquet, and everyone began to sit together. From the moment the eldest princess entered the table to when she sat down, Shen Ange felt the gathered gazes.
The birthday banquet is the main event, and this time it will be hers.
After the luncheon, all the wives gathered together to reminisce with the eldest princess Yiyang. Mrs. Zheng was in front of the eldest princess in a blink of an eye, wanting to introduce her daughter, but when she turned around, there was no sign of Zheng Hemo.
Chats between elders will inevitably involve important matters. Even if it is just between female relatives, they must fight for opportunities for their husbands.
So Shen Ange went to Mingyue Garden with other noble ladies to enjoy the flowers and chat.
Before she had taken two steps, a strange feeling of dizziness came over her. She shook her head and regained consciousness. She was walking at the end of the crowd and her speed slowed down. Shen Ange felt wary.
Having a premonition that something was wrong, she immediately decided to turn around and look for her sister. However, Shen Wuhua didn't know where to hide to avoid trouble. However, the dizziness became more and more intense. Now she could no longer move a step. Her body was so weak that she had to Try your best to hold on to the railing under the verandah.
She wanted to call someone, but she found that the voice was so weak that she could hardly hear it, and she could no longer stand up with help.
Shen Ange was not stupid. She tried hard to maintain her last shred of consciousness, thinking about where the villain started plotting against her.
At the banquet, she sat at the same table with her grandma and grandma, and ate all the food together, but grandma didn't feel any discomfort, so that's not the problem.
Besides that, it was the cup of tea that Zhou Jing gave her.
At that time, she only felt that the fragrance was familiar, and she hesitated but did not drink it, not to mention that Zheng Hemo later took it away.
Zhou Jing thought that she disliked the bitterness of the new tea, so he thoughtfully gave her some plum blossom water and brought her a plate of her favorite dried plum blossoms and apricots from his desk.
Then the eldest princess Yiyang arrived, and everyone toasted to the banquet.
Because there was something going on in the East Palace, Shen Ange was careful and careful, for fear that something would go wrong. The wine glasses were brought out by the princess's house, and everyone had them, and he just took a sip when everyone was toasting...
Is there something wrong here?
The excitement of the crowd was gradually fading away, and instead she was sitting alone in the corner of the verandah.
Zheng Hemo, who was walking in the middle and talking to Qiao Yulan, listened.
"Yulan, I left my handkerchief at the banquet. I'll go and come back. I want to take a walk when I'm drunk."
Qiao Yulan didn't do what she thought and nodded when she saw her cheeks were slightly red.
After everyone had gone away, Zheng Hemo turned around and came back. After passing through the moon gate, he saw Shen Ange sitting on the porch.
She quietly stood behind the door and watched.
Shen Ange was struggling under the verandah, and concerned greetings rang in her ears.
"Ah, why is the county lord here?"
The next thing that happened, someone helped her and lifted her up from the railing of the corridor.
"Seeing that your cheeks are red, maybe you are drunk."
"Come here, please help the county lord to go to the side hall to have a rest for a while. You go and inform Mrs. Shen that it will take some time before the banquet can be dismissed."
Shen Ange didn't know how many people were around her. She could only see blurry faces surrounding her, helping her to go to the side hall.
no!
Never go to the side hall!
If you leave the crowd, you won't know what you encounter.
Who is she? You dare to attack her in the eldest princess's mansion. What do you want to do?
She was completely weak and was helped into a quiet and elegant room. Shen Ange was placed on a soft and fragrant couch. These people even covered her with a quilt thoughtfully and then left gently.
Zheng Hemo, who was following not far away, heard the conversation between the two people.
"When will His Highness the Crown Prince come?"
Another slave quickly shouted "Shh" and told her to shut up.
Prince?
Zheng Hemo thought about the relationship between the prince and Shen Ange, and suddenly an idea flashed across his mind.
Not long after I lay on the couch, there was a very soft sound of the door opening, and a figure with a blurred halo walked in.
Before her consciousness fell into darkness, a pair of embroidered shoes stopped in front of her.
Zheng Hemo held a plain handkerchief in her hand and stared closely at Shen Ange on the couch, with crazy jealousy and resentment spreading in her eyes.
I had only been in Changyuan for a few days, and I had heard a lot of rumors about her, Shen Ange, and how her affair with Manu could still attract His Highness the Crown Prince to be so obsessed with her...
Mr. Xiao Zhou was even more considerate of her and fell in love with her.
After a long while, Zheng Hemo swallowed hard, tightened his sleeves, walked to the guest couch next to Shen Ange and lay down.
He took Shen Ange's embroidered shoes in his hand, put on his own embroidered shoes and placed them beside the couch.
Take a deep breath, pretend to be dizzy, and call out in a soft voice: "Here comes someone."
A palace maid pushed open the door and came in, bending down to salute: "Miss Zheng, what are your orders?"
"I may have had a few too many glasses of wine and feel a little unwell. I'm afraid that because of the eldest princess's interest, I won't say goodbye."
As he spoke, his voice became even weaker: "Please call someone over and help me quietly outside Xijiao Gate. Let the servants take me back to rest. There is no need to notify my mother. She is accompanying the eldest princess."
"Okay, Miss Zheng, please wait a moment." The palace maid felt really uncomfortable hearing her voice, so she hurriedly retreated and called for help.
As soon as the door closed, Zheng Hemo hurriedly slipped onto the bed and quickly carried Shen Ange to his couch. After thinking about it, he exchanged her hairpins, shoes and other things that could indicate her identity with hers.
He even changed Shen Ange's hair into a bun and took out a veil from her sleeves and put it on her head.
The two people's bodies are very similar, but Shen Ange's face is very conspicuous. Now that he has covered his face, he has just arrived in Changyuan, so no one can tell him apart.
What's more, it was the first time for these palace maids to see her and Shen Ange.
Hearing footsteps from outside, Zheng Hemo panicked and hurriedly got on the couch in the back room, facing inward and lying down disguised as Shen Ange.
The palace maid came in and took a look at the clothes, shoes, and hairpins of the two people on the couch. She vaguely remembered Miss Shen's hairpins when she first entered the house, so she assumed that the person outside was Miss Zheng.
Without checking carefully, he took Shen Ange outside as Zheng Hemo and helped him away.
Zheng Hemo listened to the sound of the door closing, and when the footsteps faded away, she dared to open her eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
She didn't care where Shen Ange would go. She had to seize the engagement between the prince and the Shen family. She touched her cheek. As long as Shen Ange was not around, she would not be inferior to anyone else in terms of appearance.
When His Highness the Crown Prince sees her, she will definitely win His Highness the Crown Prince's favor with her appearance.
Zheng Hemo huddled on the couch with her back to the door, her lips moving: it was the palace maid who admitted her mistake, it was none of her business. She was already too drunk and was already drunk when she came.
Who told her Shen Ange to still be charming after such an incident? Who told her Shen Ange to suppress her in everything?
