Chapter 175
175. The guests have arrived (first update)
Duyu looked at Yun Guinuan and twitched the tip of his nose: "Sister, she looks really good today."
He took a fresh purple grape from the fruit plate on the table and gave it to Yun Gui Nuan.
"Eat fruit."
Yun Guinuan ate grapes, and the fruit at Xiao Huaiyu's house was quite sweet.
Duyu carefully picked up the corner of Yun Gui Nuan's sleeves and held it in his palm to look at it: "Sister's clothes are handicrafts from the palace, and the material is Yun brocade. Only such good materials and craftsmanship can match my sister's beauty.
"
The little mouth is quite sweet, sweeter than grapes.
Xue Chijiu came over to join in the fun: "This dress really suits Miss Yun. No, it was Miss Yun who made this dress even more beautiful. Is this the same suit that the prince sent Zhang Tian yesterday?"
Yun Guinuan nodded.
Duyu exclaimed in a low voice: "It turns out that the prince chose it. The prince has good taste. This dress is just right for my sister."
He touched the material in his palm more carefully, carefully picked up the corner of the sleeve, and put down Yun Guinuan's sleeve.
He took two deep breaths, calmed down and stood up, intending to go over and talk to them. He took a step forward, but he didn't notice that his knee bumped against the corner of the table. The pain made him take a breath, and he didn't bother to rub it, but he endured it.
Feeling the pain, he walked towards the other side as if nothing happened.
Yun Guinuan felt that Xiao Qijun was exaggerating.
Xiao Tingyu looked at the empty seat above him: "Why hasn't Prince Rui arrived yet?"
Only Yan Yizhi's eyes fell on Yun Guinuan from beginning to end. He kept biting his lip and said nothing, and no one paid attention to where he was looking.
He began to recall who the emperor's uncle would invite to banquets in the past. After much deliberation, he found that the emperor's uncle rarely held private banquets, and this was the first time he invited seven people to attend.
Now he couldn't figure out why the emperor's uncle invited him to this banquet. Because Yun Guinuan was here, did he want him to apologize to Yun Guinuan?
Footsteps finally sounded outside the Haitang Hall again. Under the expectant gazes of everyone, a gorgeous dress gracefully stepped into everyone's view. The people on the left and right were shocked. When the last distinguished guest entered the Haitang Hall, they hurriedly returned to their senses.
salute.
She caught sight of Yun Guinuan in a lavender dress walking towards her.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Xiao Qijun also glanced at the empty seat behind him and shook his head: "I don't know, I just know that the emperor said there weren't many people invited, so just relax as if it were a family banquet."
Xiao Qiyou returned the gift. He was still a little embarrassed. In the past, he was more in awe of his uncle. He would listen to whatever the uncle said. So the uncle asked him to come to the banquet today. Although he was puzzled, he still came.
.
When he heard that the dress Yun Guinuan was wearing was a gift from Xiao Huaiyu, his heart sank suddenly, his hands and feet were cold, his ears were buzzing, and his heart felt as heavy and uncomfortable as a big stone.
When the emperor's uncle held banquets before, he almost never called him.
He felt strange that he didn't have much contact with Xiao Qijun on weekdays and they were not familiar with each other.
Xiao Qijun's voice was so loud that everyone in Haitang Hall could hear it clearly. Xiao Qiyou only glanced at Yun Guinuan's dress curiously, then sat alone in the corner waiting for the meal.
The three people in the busy corner of Haitang Hall heard the movement here and looked over one after another.
"Greetings to Your Majesty the Seventh Highness." Yan Yi's courtesy was thoughtful.
Now he was even more curious and followed Yun Guinuan to look at the empty space on the opposite side.
Yun Guinuan saw Xiao Qijun first, smiled and nodded to him as a greeting. When his eyes moved to Xiao Qiyou's face, a gentle smile froze on his face.
"Everyone is free of charge."
When Xue Chijiu saw the two highnesses, he quickly stood up straight and saluted respectfully.
Xiao Qiyou also noticed Yun Guinuan, and especially noticed that she was dressed up today, wearing a lavender dress that was steady and dignified. His eyes darkened for a moment, then he looked away expressionlessly and took a seat at the end. .
Guests have no right to point fingers at other guests invited by the host.
He is even more vicious when choosing people.
Yan Yizhi's face darkened again and again. He bit his lower lip and hid one hand under his sleeve, pinching his fingers until the knuckles turned white.
Yan Yizhi had to stop and salute Xiao Qijun: "Your Highness."
When he looked up again, he saw another person coming in.
Yun Guinuan suddenly became nervous. The eldest princess only wore light makeup. Would her dress today be too inappropriate?
Duyu answered: "The clothes were chosen by the prince himself."
Yan Yizhi was sitting on the other side of the Haitang Hall, sitting alone and looking at the excitement opposite, feeling very uncomfortable. The Haitang Hall was not big, and the voices speaking from the opposite side happened to be heard.
Yun Guinuan looked at the empty table opposite, wondering who the mysterious guest who had not yet arrived was.
"Gui Nuan looks really good today, which really surprises me." Xiao Tingyu's gentle voice fell on Yun Gui Nuan's ears, "Your dress seems to be made by palace craftsmen."
Yun Guinuan was actually wearing the dress given by Xiao Huaiyu.
Xiao Qijun walked towards Yun Guinuan and greeted him warmly in a loud voice: "Miss Yun, long time no see. You look so beautiful today. This dress matches you so well. I can't find another noble lady as beautiful as you in the whole capital." female."
He knew that the third emperor brother was close to the emperor's uncle, but he really couldn't figure out why the emperor's uncle invited him.
For a moment, Yan Yizhi's mind was a little confused.
He met the three emperor brothers at the door and was even more puzzled when he learned that they were the only two princes who came to the banquet.
Xiao Qijun glanced at Yun Guinuan at the end of Yan Yizhi's line of sight and called him.
Yun Guinuan was flattered: "Thank you very much, Princess."
Yun Guinuan was startled. When Xiao Qiyou looked away, she also withdrew her own gaze. She didn't know how close Xiao Qiyou and Xiao Huaiyu were, she just thought he was a guest invited by Xiao Huaiyu.
"Only good materials and good craftsmanship can bring out your appearance and temperament. I have some good materials, and I will ask the embroiderer in the palace to make some clothes for you."
Xiao Qijun raised his eyebrows and smelled an unusual aura: "Well, the emperor's uncle has always had good taste."
Changtian stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Back to Your Highness, the prince said that he would be at Haitang Hall on time at Shen Shizheng."
Xue Chijiu and Duyu watched the two of them staring at each other. Although they didn't know what they were looking at, they looked over curiously.
"Do you know who the prince invited today?" Yun Guinuan asked Xiao Qijun in a low voice.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind instantly. Why was Yun Guinuan willing to wear the clothes when he knew they were from Xiao Huaiyu? It was also a gift. Why was Yun Guinuan unwilling to accept his kindness? Could it be that Yun Guinuan had already turned to Xiao Huaiyu? , how far has the relationship between them progressed?
Picking out clothes is great.
The people around Yun Guinuan had all eaten at the Hou Mansion and started chatting among themselves.
"Master Yan."
He is looking pretty in front of the mirror.
Xiao Tingyu walked briskly and calmly into Haitang Hall. With a kind smile on her lips, she looked at the people in the hall calmly.
She looked up and down and nodded with great satisfaction.
Xiao Tingyu nodded, took elegant steps, and sat down opposite Yun Guinuan.
Yun Guinuan suddenly felt so stressed.
True Family Banquet
Yun Guinuan and Xiao Tingyu are the two most important women in Xiao Huaiyu's life. Xiao Qijun, Xue Chijiu and Xue Chijiu can be seen as having a good relationship with him. It would be better if Sanlang and Xiao Yuanyuan were here.
As for Yan Yizhi and Xiao Qiyou
Xiao Huaiyu: Oh, I shouted to get a blow.
