The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 571 Extra Thank You Banquet (38)

Xie Zhiyan smiled, his eyes dark and deep: "Okay..."

The moment he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed the wrist of the person handing her the snack and suddenly pulled it forward. Before Jiang Wantang could react, he was already in front of him.

"Let me try it..." Xie Zhiyan's low and hoarse voice, wrapped in heat, brushed against the corner of her lips. In Jiang Wantang's astonished eyes, he suddenly tilted his head and licked the remaining crumbs on the corner of her lips.

His tongue brushed against her lips, and a taste sweeter than peach blossom pastry immediately spread between her lips and teeth...

Jiang Wantang stared blankly with her watery peach blossom eyes wide open.

Xie Zhiyan chuckled softly, like a sated fox, his voice tinged with laughter: "Sure enough...very sweet..."

The ending tone rises, and the ambiguous tone clearly has a hidden meaning.

Jiang Wantang was embarrassed and angry: "You..."

"rash!"

Xie Zhiyan chuckled, tilting his head slightly, and said innocently, "Oh? Why is it Meng Lang?"

"Didn't Tangtang take the initiative to invite me to taste it?"

Jiang Wantang couldn't argue with him, so she pushed him away angrily, turned her face away, and ignored someone.

Xie Zhiyan looked at the little fox in front of him with its fur standing on end, and the smile in his eyes grew wider.

He raised his hand and gently stroked her head, smiling and whispering softly: "Tangtang is right, am I too reckless?"

"It's my fault, Master Tangtang, you are magnanimous and you are not angry anymore?"

Jiang Wantang snorted coldly and still ignored him.

No matter how Xie Zhiyan tries to coax her, it's no use...

He couldn't help but laugh. The little fox was becoming more and more cunning and harder to coax.

But he always has his own way of coaxing people.

Xie Zhiyan sat beside Jiang Wantang, reached out and held her hand, and asked, "Tangtang, are you still going to the Princess's residence with Grandmother and Mother for the banquet today?"

Jiang Wantang remained silent. He continued, "After the banquet today, how about I take Tangtang to Xunhuan Tower for a stroll?"

Xunhuanlou, the biggest den of money-losing in Shengjing City?!

Hearing this, Jiang Wantang's eyes suddenly brightened, but she pretended to be indifferent and said proudly, "Forget it, for the sake of my grandmother and mother, I will forgive you for the time being..."

Xie Zhiyan noticed the change in her eyes and almost couldn't help laughing. He said, "Okay."

Afterwards, he reached out and hugged her, saying softly, "Today is the Princess's Mansion's flower viewing banquet. I will arrive a little later. Tangtang will go with Grandma and Mother first, okay?"

Jiang Wantang nodded.

After that, Xie Zhiyan left.

This time, the Princess's Mansion held a spring flower-viewing banquet. Viewing the flowers was secondary, and the main purpose was to select a marriageable noblewoman in Beijing for the playboy Zhao Yi.

However, Zhao Yi was used to being free and easy and he didn't want to get married and be controlled by others, so he asked Xie Zhiyan for help.

An hour later, at the Princess's Mansion.

The vermilion lacquered gate of the Princess's Mansion was wide open, its gilded bronze nails gleaming brightly in the sunlight...

Dozens of luxurious carriages stopped in front of the gate one after another.

Inside the mansion, there is a huge flower hall and the backyard is filled with various colorful and precious flowers and plants.

Princess Rongyi sat in the main seat drinking tea, while Zhao Yi leaned on the rosewood armchair beside her, turning the gilded wine jar with his fingertips boredly.

The young men of noble families gathered in the pavilion opposite, drinking tea or playing chess, while the ladies gathered in groups of three or five in the courtyard, laughing and admiring the flowers. The sound of jingling jewelry and sweet laughter intertwined together, and the garden was full of spring colors and very lively.

Those who came this time were all prominent young men and ladies from aristocratic families in the capital.

Amidst the lively laughter, the concierge suddenly shouted, "The old lady/madam/young lady of the Yong'an Marquisate has arrived!"

The laughter and joy in the garden suddenly fell silent...

Everyone looked towards the entrance of the flower hall and saw Mrs. Xie, dressed in a purple brocade dress with cloud patterns, walking in with a gilded cane. On her left and right stood Jiang Wantang, dressed in a long dress with wide sleeves and a red gold brocade, and Mrs. Hou, dressed in a lake blue brocade dress.

As the three of them walked in, they attracted the attention of all the ladies and girls present.

Princess Rongyi suddenly stood up and walked forward to greet him, smiling broadly, "The old lady has finally been waiting for you..."

As she spoke, she exchanged a few pleasantries with the Marquis's wife beside her with a smile.

Finally, his eyes fell on Jiang Wantang, full of amazement: "Oh, this is Miss Tang, she is so pretty, like a fairy from heaven, no wonder our Ah Yan loves her so much..."

After saying that, he took off a precious jade bracelet from his hand and put it directly on Jiang Wantang's hand.

Jiang Wantang was stunned, but Princess Rongyi didn't think anything of it. She took Jiang Wantang's hand and praised her endlessly, making her feel embarrassed.

Seeing this, the Marquis's wife was afraid that her good sister would be too enthusiastic and scare her precious daughter-in-law, so she quickly pulled her away and said jokingly: "If you are envious, then hurry up and choose a good daughter-in-law for your Yi'er..."

After that, several people chatted and laughed, and Princess Rongyi personally helped Madam Xie to sit in the main seat.

Jiang Wantang could see that they had a very good relationship.

Xie Zhiyan also specifically told Jiang Wantang about the close relationship between the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion and the Princess' Mansion. Madam Xie was a princess of the royal family before she got married, and Princess Rongyi was a cousin of the late emperor. There was a big generation gap between them, so Princess Rongyi always regarded Madam Xie as the most respected elder.

In addition to the fact that both of them are related to the royal family, Princess Rongyi and the Marquis's wife were good friends who could talk about anything when they were in the boudoir.

After they sat down, Old Madam Xie asked Jiang Wantang to walk around the garden, fearing that a little girl like her would feel uncomfortable being around a group of women.

Princess Rongyi even specially arranged for her trusted maid to take Jiang Wantang for a stroll.

The noble ladies in the garden saw this scene from afar and were already extremely jealous.

Not to mention Jiang Wantang's current status and popularity, the fact that she married the Dali Temple Minister Xie Zhiyan was enough to make them jealous to death.

That was Xie Zhiyan—the eldest son of the Yong'an Marquisate, a noble man born to be in a high position, with an appearance of heavenly beauty and unparalleled talent and appearance.

At that time, when he rode his horse across Zhuque Street, many girls' handkerchiefs fell to the ground.

There are quite a few noble ladies in the center of the garden today who admire Xie Zhiyan.

So, as Jiang Wantang walked towards the garden, she could hear the noble ladies' discontented chatter from afar...

"This young lady of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion is truly impressive. Not only do the Marquis's wife and the old lady dote on her, but even Princess Rongyi values ​​her so much. With her around, there's no chance for us noble ladies to stand out at future banquets..."

"Tsk, what are you so proud of? She's just a girl from the countryside, relying on her good looks to seduce men everywhere, and the people in the Marquis' Mansion treat her like a treasure..."
