When Mrs. Chengen saw her, her attitude was as gentle as when she served tea that day.
Although what he said was true, it didn't sound that good.
Gu Qingyuan said softly "Yeah".
Mrs. Chengen glanced over and thought.
To be honest, Gu Qingyuan is not the girl she likes.
Although she has always had a good reputation, she does not have the ability to interact with people like a spring breeze.
Although the conversation is appropriate, it does not offend others.
I once had the intention to get married to the Duke of Zhenguo, but it was just because I wanted to find a well-behaved daughter-in-law to keep an eye on that evil son Jing Heng.
At nearly noon, when Mrs. Chengen went to the princess mansion for a banquet, Gu Qingyuan attracted a lot of attention as soon as she showed up.
Some people even let out a sigh,
"Pity."
A good noble daughter, a good marriage, and a good Madam Hou were ruined by a libertine.
Third Young Master Pei is a novelty person, and he was thrown out of the house at some point.
When the time comes, what if she is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo?
Although no one said the next words out loud, everyone understood it tacitly.
The noble ladies clicked their tongues and continued polishing their nails, drinking wine and admiring the flowers. Their eyes never glanced at her again.
Mrs. Cheng'en's face looked as usual and she sat down calmly.
There were also many people chatting around me.
The queen's sister-in-law and the prince's aunt are always supported by many people no matter what.
When Gu Qingyuan decided to resist her marriage to Lu Wenze, she had already thought of this situation.
She didn't care about the cold looks from these people.
No matter how well someone does something, there will always be people who just don't like it.
Even though it is silver, some people think it smells like copper.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw everyone getting up and coming to the door to greet me.
It's Princess Rongyang who has arrived.
Princess Rongyang is the daughter of Concubine Lu. She is a beauty, as gorgeous as a peach or a plum, and as beautiful as a peony.
Only the royal family can raise such a proud and noble woman.
"It's a rare good day. I've invited everyone to a banquet. Please help yourself." Princess Rongyang said with a smile.
"If so, it would be a great honor for the princess to invite me to the banquet."
Some women quickly joined in the fun.
Seeing Gu Qingyuan, Princess Rongyang immediately stepped forward and held Gu Qingyuan's wrist affectionately.
"Ayuan, you are here. Congratulations on your wedding."
"It's a pity that I couldn't enjoy your wedding wine."
The words are full of regret.
Among the ladies sitting there, some were drinking tea, some were stroking their temples, and some were eating snacks, but their eyes were invariably focused on Gu Qingyuan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, like a ray of light on their backs.
Mrs. Cheng'en stiffened, and Princess Rongyang was exposing a scar.
His expression was almost unbearable, and he said perfunctorily, "Thank you princess for your support."
When Gu Qingyuan heard this, she had only one thought in her mind.
This banquet will certainly not be a good one.
As he lowered his eyes, his mind whirled and he answered smoothly,
"What the princess said is true." He then invited Mrs. Cheng'en to her side and asked for instructions, "Mother, why don't we hold a banquet next time to thank everyone for their love."
The warm breath of spring floats in the house.
Gu Qingyuan's eyes were cold, but her tone was gentle and approachable, "It's almost summer now, and the large lotus flowers in the house have already become green, so it's a good time to enjoy them."
Mrs. Chengen laughed and said,
"This kid has a real heart. No house doesn't have a lotus pond, but he thinks his own is the best, so he eagerly invites everyone to go."
With that said, he pulled Gu Qingyuan to his side.
Gu Qingyuan stood obediently next to Mrs. Chengen, looking at Princess Rongyang who was chatting with everyone as if nothing had happened.
In the past, she often went to the palace to talk to Concubine Lu. Although Princess Rongyang and her were not as close as close friends.
But the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.
As soon as she entered the door today, she felt the slightest hint of hostility on Princess Rongyang.
What happened?
After Princess Rongyang asked that question, she didn't feel any embarrassment anymore, as if she was really hosting a banquet for Gu Qingyuan.
Putting her first in everything, she lifted Gu Qingyuan up.
When they were eating, they arranged for her to sit in the best seat on the ladies' table. Gu Qingyuan remained calm, holding a cherry in her hands and smiling slowly.
In order to avoid boring everyone, after the banquet, Princess Rongyang ordered someone to bring out a Chow Chow.
Play for the ladies.
Chow Chow looks so cute, and the ladies are very happy to see it.
Not everyone can get such a Chow Chow, and not everyone can raise it.
Gu Qingyuan also liked puppies, but she didn't get close to them, she just watched them from a distance.
While I was admiring it, I suddenly heard a commotion among the ladies, whispering.
"Why is Third Young Master Pei here?"
"His appearance seems more outstanding than before."
"Such a handsome man, if he robbed me, I would be willing to do it."
Gu Qingyuan:......
Following those enthusiastic eyes, I found Pei Jinting standing there on the ladies' table outside, nodding to greet the ladies.
Maybe it’s because I just came from the Yamen.
He was dressed in official attire, with a long sword tied around his waist and a high crown. He walked among the crowd with a tall and straight figure, which made him stand out.
Occasionally, one or two conversations could be heard. The voices were deep and deep, and those who listened felt like they were refreshed by a spring breeze.
Although the ladies present were still drinking with their sleeves covered, their eyes unconsciously turned towards him and their cheeks turned red quietly.
Gu Qingyuan had known that Pei Jinting was a good person before, but when she saw him in the crowd today, she still couldn't hide her surprise. She paused slightly while holding the cherry in her hand.
Vaguely, she seemed to notice that Pei Jinting's eyes seemed to be passing over her.
Her heartbeat was beating fast, and she pressed the handkerchief to the corners of her lips.
When this man went out in the morning, he said he had to go out of town to do some business and would have to return home in the evening.
You came back so quickly, is the matter done?
Suddenly someone said "Ouch", followed by barking.
Gu Qingyuan turned around and saw the Chow Chow held out by Princess Rongyang. It was drooling heavily and rushed towards the noble girl who was lying on the ground like crazy.
Suddenly, the noble girl screamed and was bitten by the dog.
The dog's teeth were so sharp that it bit hard and gnawed directly into the bleeding hole. In an instant, blood gushed from the noble girl's head, like an evil ghost.
"Get away quickly." Someone shouted, and the ladies in the room screamed one after another, creating chaos.
Gu Qingyuan is in the furthest position at the moment, and it would be a little troublesome to get out now.
Not to mention the screaming and panic-stricken ladies everywhere.
A mad dog ran towards us. Even if it was not big, it was still enough for the usually delicate noble ladies to deal with.
Although the more courageous noble lady did not dare to catch the dog, she still dared to throw the tea cup in her hand at the puppy.
There are also those who are slow to react and timid. Not to mention running away, they can't even stand up, and they slump in their chairs and tremble.
Gu Qingyuan took a slow breath and suppressed the fear in her heart.
Holding the tea bowl with the remaining tea in her hand tightly, she slowly retreated to the door. Before she could go out, Princess Rongyang's surprised and angry voice came from outside.
"Someone, beat that beast to death!"
This murderous voice completely angered the puppy.
