Chu Chengye nodded and lifted his wine glass. “Thank you for the reminder, Third Brother.”
The two brothers had a good drink.
After the banquet, some stayed in the Upper Forest Court to admire the scenery, while others returned to their quarters to rest. Some remained on the premises to warm up, preparing for the upcoming hunting competition.
The spring banquet and the hunting ground competition were always highly anticipated events, like a captivating drama unfolding.
Lin Sisi looked forward to this time the most. She pulled Su Yingxue along, eager to practice. “Dr. Su, come on, let’s practice archery! You also come from a family of warriors, so your equestrian and archery skills must be impressive!”
Su Yingxue smiled, acknowledging the truth in Lin Sisi’s words. She had a fondness for archery from a young age. Though she loved nothing else, she cherished riding and archery. Her grandfather was delighted to instruct her every day.
However, she sensed that two pairs of eyes were fixated on her from behind.
She touched her forehead, excusing herself, “The official competition starts tomorrow. This afternoon is just a warm-up. I had some wine at noon and need to rest a bit. 1’11 come to find you later!”
“Alright then! Don’t sleep for too long. Let’s practice more and strive to impress those men with our equestrian and archery skills tomorrow!” Lin Sisi’s spirits were high, radiating a bold and resolute aura.
Su Yingxue let her practice alone and headed toward her resting quarters.
In order to satisfy the person behind her, she had a smile on her face and deliberately walked two steps before entering her room.
Madam Wu watched Su Yingxue enter the room with a vicious look in her eyes. “Su Yingxue, you’ve harmed my three children. I’ll make sure you die a miserable death today!”
She waited for half an hour. She thought that the spices and men she had arranged in Su Yingxue’s room should have finished their effects. She planned to go and take a look and then make a commotion to let others discover her.
However, just as she leaned against Su Yingxue’s door and was about to listen for any movements, the door suddenly opened. Su Yingxue’s fox-like face appeared before her eyes and enlarged. “Madam Wu, are you looking for me?”
Madam Wu’s jaw dropped in surprise. Before she could react, Su Yingxue pulled her inside.
Su Yingxue flipped Madam Wu into her room. Both the incense and the man in her room were waiting for her!
As a gesture of goodwill, Su Yingxue even collected ylang-ylang from Medicine King Valley and placed it in her room.
When the aroma of the ylang-ylang and the incense combined, the effect was meant to achieve what Madam Wu desired.
However, she intended to let Madam Wu savor this effect at her own pace!
“All, you two! Look closely and see who 1 am. No fooling around! 1 am…”
“Help! Master, please save me!”
“Come down!”
Madam Wu’s anguished cries quickly attracted a crowd.
This kind of matter fell under the jurisdiction of Lin Qin, the Minister of Rites. When he noticed the unusual situation in Su Yingxue’s room, he was taken aback.
However, the commotion was so significant that even Lin Aotian became aware of it.
With the arrival of a straightforward military man like him, even if he intended to help Wu Hongtao conceal the situation, it was no longer possible.
Lin Aotian came to assess the situation and brought Madam Wu and the other two men to Chu Mingyuan.
Chu Mingyuan had just finished his afternoon nap and was planning to visit the hunting ground.
Lin Aotian grabbed them and brought them in front of him. Chu Mingyuan frowned immediately. “What’s going on?”
An event as grand as the spring banquet should not be marred by such a scandalous scene!
Lin Aotian reported honestly, “Emperor, these three individuals were found engaging in improper behavior in one of the rooms. The commotion was quite significant. This woman is the wife of Minister Wu from the Ministry of Personnel. I’ve brought them here to seek your judgment..”
