Because of the appearance of these dragon sons and dragon ladies, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly changed, and everyone became inexplicably quiet.
It was the appearance of Princess Jingning that broke the embarrassment at this time, "I deliberately didn't invite the elders of your family today, just to let you young people feel at ease. If you feel that these people are uncomfortable here, I will kick them out!"
"
Princess Changning then smiled and said, "Sister Huang is so cruel. I finally managed to get out of the palace with your help, but you still drove me back."
Everyone else laughed when he said it, and Princess Jingning said: "In that case, you are the elder here, so I don't care, you can take care of it!"
"I promise to fulfill my mission." Princess Changning looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she had a rare innocent temperament. After hearing the words, she agreed immediately, and then begged, "I think it's not because everyone is restrained.
There are only a few of us, but because you are here, Sister Huang, why don’t you go over there to listen to the show!"
There are two more courtyards in this courtyard, the middle one is connected by a moon cave door, and there are exactly two seats for men and women.
A famous opera troupe from the capital was specially invited to perform outside, while the princess and several elderly ladies dined upstairs.
As expected, they were the only young people left here. Princess Huimin finally came out. As soon as she came out, everyone present could not take their eyes away.
Even Xie Songhua, who had seen many big stars on the screen in his previous life, couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that the rumors were true.
The beauty of Princess Huimin is so beautiful that one cannot find any adjectives.
The facial features on her face seemed to have been carefully measured and fabricated by the Creator with a ruler.
There is only one word to describe it - just right.
It's all like this. If she didn't speak, it would be easy for people to think of her as a humanoid doll standing there.
She must have been used to the gazes of these people for a long time. Princess Huimin didn't have a smile on her face. She just said lightly: "Since you are my mother's guests, feel free to do whatever you want! Don't be polite."
After saying that, he turned to look at the table where Gao Ying and Ye Jinxi were sitting, "I don't understand the rules in Beijing, and I don't know how to socialize. I'll leave the affairs here to you! Take care of the people attending the banquet here for me.
.”
After saying that, he looked at the princes calmly. The sixth prince smiled and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I will go to the male guests on your behalf."
Princess Huimin glanced at him, "No need."
Amid the surprise of the sixth prince, Princess Huimin frowned and asked the maid behind her, "Where is the little prince?"
The maid quickly replied: "We have found someone and will be back soon."
"Let him take care of it." After saying that, he stopped looking at the other people below and turned around and entered the house.
Xie Songhua couldn't help but be speechless. She was indeed blessed with beauty. As the hostess, Princess Huimin's attitude was not exactly enthusiastic.
However, with his identity and the blessing of his beauty, his behavior makes it impossible for people to dislike him. Instead, he feels that it is natural.
Didn't you see that even the princes and princesses over there were not dissatisfied with her attitude?
For Xie Songhua, this banquet was purely for gaining experience.
Apparently her other sisters were similar, but when she turned around, she heard a soft snort, with a hint of sneer.
But it was Xie Sihua who chuckled at Xie Shuhua.
Looking at Xie Shuhua's face, she didn't have much expression, but there was a slight loneliness in her eyes.
Xie Songhua thought about it carefully and realized that the princes who were just above did not hide their enthusiasm for Princess Huimin at all.
Except for the prince, who had even filled up the position of concubine, but still remained somewhat indifferent, the other princes almost never took their eyes off Princess Huimin.
The third prince is no exception.
Xie Sihua's sneer seemed particularly normal.
If it were before, considering Xie Shuhua's status and personal conditions, it seemed reasonable and somewhat possible to take a chance on the position of third prince and concubine.
But right now...
Compared with Princess Huimin, it seems a bit ridiculous.
Xie Shuhua retracted the loneliness in her eyes, turned to look at Xie Sihua, and sneered: "Why are you smiling at me? Shouldn't you smile at your sister? She will soon be the third prince's concubine, you
Didn't you serve her well today?"
After saying this, the expressions of everyone at the table changed.
The princess's mansion was specially divided into two courtyards. The girls were all here, and there were six or seven tables in total. The girls from the Xie family sat at the same table. Although there were many of them, there were still two from other families.
As a person, when Xie Shuhua said this, she was too careless about the occasion.
What's more, the first table where Zhou Yu and the others were sitting was not far away from them, and anyone who was interested could just pass it by casually.
Xie Sihua was so angry that he turned cold. He was about to fight back, but was stopped by Xie Songhua, "It's rare to come to the eldest princess's banquet, so I'm not worried. You are well-informed and know everything, but I don't even know many of the dishes on this table."
I’m afraid I’ve never seen it.”
Xie Sihua just shut up. Xie Songhua's words had two meanings. First, this was not a casual occasion, so it was necessary to make nonsense.
Secondly, it is difficult for everyone to come, and the most difficult person to come is Xie Shuhua. They all know what her situation is in the house now, so why bother to compete for a moment's popularity.
The other two noble ladies had no intention of watching the excitement on such an occasion. When they heard Xie Shuhua's words, they felt embarrassed. Now that they saw that the sisters had settled the matter among themselves, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he also came to smooth things over, "When the eldest daughter of the Fang family came back to the capital for the first time, she seemed to be very naughty. She deserves to be from a Confucian family. When she saw her brother on the street that day, he also looked like a dragon or a phoenix among people."
These words turned everyone's attention to Fang Jieyou, the eldest girl at the end.
As the future fourth prince, she naturally sat at the first table.
At that moment, the table was already receiving toasts from other people. Xue Suqiao, Gao Ying, Zhou Wei, Zhao Yuechan, Ye Jinxi, Fang Jieyou, Zhang Wenying and others all greeted the others politely and enthusiastically.
That table can almost be regarded as the most proud among the noble ladies. Except for Gao Ying and Zhang Wenying, the others are all waiting to be married, and the families they are about to marry all have the same surname.
Last name - Xiao.
Therefore, the eyes looking at them below were inevitably filled with jealousy.
Xie Shuhua couldn't stand such an atmosphere. When several girls from the Xie family came up to propose a toast as usual, she simply put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full, let's go out for a walk."
Several girls from the Xie family had already left the table with wine glasses in their hands. They couldn't pay attention to her for a while. They could only go to the main table to toast the wine, and then sat down absentmindedly, waiting for no one to see.
It’s easy to take action.
Fortunately, the lively and outgoing noble lady soon came over to offer a toast, and her funny words made everyone around her happy, so no one noticed her.
"I'll find it!"
Xie Songhua and Xie Tu stood up carefully almost at the same time, whispered the same sentence, and then both looked at each other.
Then Xie Songhua said: "Let's go together! We can go faster if we work separately."
Lin Ruoxi also thought of her grandmother's instructions before going out, and she was extremely nervous at the moment. She nodded repeatedly. Only Xie Sihua and Xie Li looked at them blankly.
