Chapter 617 Is the show finally starting?
When Zheng Sisi and others stepped into the flower pavilion, they suddenly felt a warm current rushing towards them, as if they were in a warm room like spring.
The maids skillfully poured each guest a cup of steaming hot tea.
After taking the teacups, the ladies couldn't wait to take a sip. The scalding hot tea slid down their throats and instantly dispelled the coldness in their bodies.
It makes them feel warm all over, as if they have regained vitality.
People who arrived later saw that the pavilion was packed with people and it was difficult to accommodate more people.
With no other options, they had to keep moving forward and look for other places to rest and keep warm.
Everyone sat around in the flower pavilion, enjoying the delicious snacks and chatting happily. The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.
After a while, Princess Jiaoyang and her entourage slowly returned.
That's true. They had just been strolling in the plum garden. However, because of the presence of Zheng Sisi and others, their pearl-like beauty was unforgettable, which made the subsequent viewing seem dull in comparison.
Not long after, a graceful maid came hurriedly and told everyone to go to the banquet hall because the banquet would start in a quarter of an hour.
Hearing this, everyone stood up and gathered together to walk out of the pavilion.
But at this moment, an accident suddenly happened!
A maid who was busy pouring tea and water for everyone was bumped by someone for some reason.
The tray in her hands instantly lost balance and tilted over.
The half-filled pot of tea on the tray poured straight towards Zheng Sisi like a yellow waterfall.
A sharp-eyed noble lady nearby saw this scene and hurriedly reached out to grab Zheng Sisi, but she was still a step too late.
Zheng Sisi was caught off guard and staggered by the force. Although she tried her best to steady herself, her exquisite skirt was still inevitably splashed with large amounts of yellow tea, making her look quite embarrassed.
The maid who had caused the disaster was so frightened when she saw this that her face turned pale, her legs went weak and she fell to her knees with a thud.
She kowtowed repeatedly and apologized, "Princess Anping, I am so sorry. It was my carelessness that caused me to spill tea on you. Please punish me. Whether it is beating or other punishment, it is entirely up to you."
Zheng Sisi thought to herself: Humph, is the show finally beginning?
This maid was quite clever. Before she tried to destroy my reputation, she actually thought of first accusing me of being cruel and brutal and bullying.
Zheng Sisi gently shook her exquisite skirt, but the originally bright hem was now stained with some stains.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she grumbled with grievance: "Oh, what a pity! This new skirt is the first time I wear it today!"
After saying that, she looked up at the person in front of her, her eyes full of resentment and reluctance.
Seeing this, a noble lady on the opposite side hurriedly comforted him, "Okay, don't be sad. It's just a piece of clothing. How can it be compared with a human life?"
Hearing this, Zheng Sisi nodded slightly, but there was still a trace of loss on her face.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly said to the maid, "How about you be kind enough to take me to the side room to clean up."
At this time, the maid who was kneeling beside her kowtowed hurriedly and kept saying thank you.
"Thank you, Princess Anping, for your understanding. The Grand Princess has long considered that this kind of unexpected situation may occur, so she specially prepared many new clothes in the wing room just in case. I will take the princess to change now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the maid stood up, kept her head down, and led the way carefully in front.
When everyone saw this scene, they were not too surprised.
After all, when they host banquets at home, they usually make such thorough preparations to deal with various emergencies.
Zheng Sisi was followed closely by two maids, Rose and Lily. The three of them walked quickly with the maids.
When Zheng Zhimin and others saw this situation, they felt a little worried and expressed their desire to follow them.
However, Zheng Sisi waved her hand and stopped them, saying, "Go to the banquet hall and wait for me. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she turned back and urged the maid leading the way to speed up. She seemed to be really anxious and wanted to get to the room immediately.
The maid who was walking in front with her head down was feeling proud. She had just thought that Zheng Zhimin and others would follow, and she would have to find a way to get them away, which would be very troublesome. Unexpectedly, Princess Anping would send them away herself.
There were rumors in the outside world about how smart and capable Princess Anping was, but in reality, she was just so-so.
