Xie Wuyan smiled and didn't push back at all. She straightened her skirt and sat next to Xiao Muqing.
At this time, Princess Xiao's affection for Xie Wu increased even more, "You are different from them! By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?"
"Thank you Wu."
"Dancing dance?"
"Wu Li's Wu."
"Wu Li!" Xiao Muqing squinted. She looked at Xie Wu from head to toe again, and then said very pertinently, "Your name is really...appropriate."
"I think so too." Xie Wu agreed with a smile.
Xiao Muqing was even more surprised and looked at Xie Wu even more brightly.
Whether in the capital or in Yunnan, this was the first time she had seen a girl as cheerful and unassuming as Xie Wu.
"Xiao Muqing." Princess Xiao stretched out her hand.
Xie Wu curved her lips and smiled. She raised her hand and struck Princess Xiao's outstretched hand in the air. Then she said with a smile, "Princess Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you."
In fact, she wanted to say more——
Ah Qing, nice to meet you.
Xiao Muqing raised her eyebrows. She originally wanted Xie Wu to call her by her first name, but when she thought of the unwritten rules among the noble families in the capital, she sighed and decided to forget it.
But fortunately, she finally found someone she clicked with.
Thinking about it, her life in the capital will not be as boring as before.
"Ah Wu, nice to meet you! We will have more contact with each other in the future!" Xiao Muqing held Xie Wu's hand and showed her first sincere smile at the banquet today.
"Okay! I like to eat roast duck from Maoer Hutong. When the governor invites me over as a guest, remember to ask someone to buy some for me." Xie Wu said with a smile.
"Is the roast duck in Mao'er Hutong from Liu Laoliu's house? His house is still open!" Xiao Muqing was so excited that his saliva almost dripped out.
"It's open. It opens on time every day. It closes when it's sold out. If you go there late, you may not be able to buy it yet." Xie Wu replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Princess Xiao didn't care about losing face. She called the maid on the spot and asked her to send someone to Mao'er Hutong to buy roast duck quickly.
"You don't know, I didn't miss anything when I returned to Yunnan, I just missed his roast duck. Nothing else tastes like his! Ah! It's been a long, long time since I've eaten his roast duck!" Xiao Muqing was full of aftertaste.
The way.
Xie Wu looked at Xiao Muqing with a smile, and a hint of unspeakable sourness suddenly flashed across her eyes.
Ah Wu, it’s very windy outside, come home with me!
She will always remember that day, when the red blood slowly flowed down from the execution platform. The girl in red behind her wrapped her cloak tightly around her body and said to her firmly.
But she didn't have a home at that time.
All her enemies have been killed, but her family has long been scattered in the dust...
On the other side, Xie Yuan looked at Xiao Muqing and Xie Wu chatting happily, and the jealousy in her heart was like bubbling venom, corroding her internal organs and causing pain!
There are so many ladies in the boudoir in this house, who are more dignified, gentler than Xie Wu, and much more talented than Xie Wu. Why did Xie Wu catch the eyes of Princess Xiao!
The other girls looked at this admiration and felt more or less jealous and envious.
Although Princess Xiao is not often in the capital, she is notoriously difficult to get along with in the eyes of the noble ladies in the capital. Except for getting a little closer to Princess Rong of Duke Dingguo's mansion, the other noble ladies usually don't even talk to each other.
The look in Princess Xiao's eyes was also stingy.
Princess Zhennan across from her also obviously noticed this.
At this moment, the corners of Sister Qing's eyes and eyebrows were stretched out, and the corners of her mouth were curled up. There was no impatience on her face as usual, which made her a little more attracted to the charming girl next to her.
Inquiry and curiosity.
I don’t know what tricks this girl used to win Sister Qing’s eyes.
Princess Zhennan was thinking about it when a maid came quickly to report that the Crown Prince Dingguo, his wife and Princess Jiayi were here.
After hearing this, Princess Zhennan hurriedly stood up to greet her. Before she had walked a few steps, she saw Xie Min leading Lu Rong and Lu Yi around the screen and walked in.
"Why are you here at this time? I thought you were going to let me go!" Princess Zhennan walked over with a smile, then took Xie Min's hand and said with a smile.
Xie Min curved her lips and smiled, and said in a clear voice, "The princess asked me to bring you a gift when I arrived, so I was delayed for a while. However, Princess, you have always been generous and generous, so you won't care about this with me, right?"
!”
"You've already put this hat on me, how can I have the nerve to take it off again?" Princess Zhennan also smiled, and then she asked, "How is Ning'an?"
"The princess is still the same as before and doesn't like to go out to socialize." Xie Min still had a smile on her face, but she held Princess Zhennan's hand tightly.
Princess Zhennan understood, she smiled, her voice was as hearty as before, and said, "That's all, it's only me who comes to see her. I've gotten used to it over the years." After that, she smiled at Xie Min again.
He looked behind him and said, "Hey, Sister Rong and Sister Yi have grown so big!"
Lu Rong and Lu Yi stood up and blessed Princess Zhennan, shouting in unison, "Princess."
Princess Zhennan touched Lu Rong's hand, looked at her with a smile on her face and said, "Good boy, hurry up and sit over there, I've already reserved a seat for you, at your sister Qing's place." Princess Zhennan
As he spoke, he pointed towards where Xiao Muqing was sitting.
"Thank you, Princess." Lu Rong smiled and blessed Princess Zhennan again.
"Okay, okay, let's all take our seats. Now that everyone is here, it's time for us to have a banquet." Princess Zhennan said with a smile.
After hearing this, everyone sat down one after another.
"Sister Qing." Lu Yi called Xiao Muqing with a sweet smile before Lu Rong could speak.
"Sister Qing." Lu Rong followed closely and called softly.
"Yeah." Xiao Muqing responded expressionlessly, but Lu Rong's expression was obviously better than Lu Yi's.
Lu Yi gritted his teeth and felt depressed.
It will always be like this.
As long as she and Lu Rong appear together, Lu Rong will always be the one who is admired by all the stars, and she will always be her foil. Yes, Lu Rong is the princess, but she is also the daughter of the eldest son of the Duke of Ding.
But why do these people always only see Lu Rong in their eyes?
Even Princess Xiao, who was always honest and sincere in front of her, was the same.
"Ah Wu, you're here too!" Lu Rong looked at Xie Wu, with a smile as gentle as the spring breeze at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Only then did Lu Yi notice that there was Xie Wu standing next to Xiao Muqing.
She actually sat at the same table as Princess Xiao!
"Princess, Sister Yi." Xie Wu gestured to the two of them with a smile.
"Cousin, when did you become so familiar with Princess Xiao?" Lu Yi looked at Xie Wu with a smile.
"Princess Xiao and I..." Xie Wu looked at Xiao Muqing.
Xiao Muqing also looked back at her with interest.
She was also a little curious about how Xie Wu would answer Lu Yi's question.
"I love the princess as always." After saying this, Xie Wu suddenly smiled brightly and said, "I expected the princess to treat me the same way."
"Hahaha!" Xiao Muqing raised her head and laughed. Her laughter was wanton and hearty. Even though she was looked at by many eyes around her, she remained calm and composed, ignoring the people around her.
"Ah Qing!" Princess Zhennan pinched her aching forehead and shouted forcefully.
Seeing that her mother was angry, Princess Xiao wisely stopped laughing. She pulled Xie Wu back to sit on the table again, and then she pouted and sighed, "This capital is really boring, it's better to be in Yunnan!"
"The capital also has interesting places." Xie Wu smiled.
Princess Xiao looked up at her.
"For example, Maoer Hutong, Guifangzhai, and Tunxi Old Street. I recently discovered a place..."
These places sell all the famous snacks in the capital, so as soon as Xie Wu stopped, Princess Xiao couldn't wait to ask, "Where?" After saying that, she swallowed without realizing it.
Xie Wu raised her eyebrows and said with a sweet smile, "I won't tell you!"
"Cousin, it's not good for you to be so mysterious in front of the princess! If word gets out, others will think you are deliberately teasing the princess!" Before Xiao Muqing could speak, Lu Yi couldn't wait to sneer.
"Sister Yi." Lu Rong tugged at the corner of Lu Yi's clothes, frowned and gently shook his head at her.
Lu Yi just glanced at Lu Rong coldly, then raised his right hand and pulled his sleeve out of Lu Rong's hand.
Xie Wu's words just now were too presumptuous. She was also venting her anger on Princess Xiao!
"Do you think I'm stupid? I can be teased!" Xiao Muqing glanced at Lu Yi from top to bottom, and his tone was very unkind.
"I, I didn't feel that way, Princess, you misunderstood..."
"Okay, did I misunderstand that you are mentally clear-headed! I, Xiao Muqing, am not a fool, and I don't need you to stand up for me! Besides, you just called Ah Wu my eldest cousin..." Xiao Muqing glanced at Lu Yi with disdain, and then continued,
"I've never seen any cousin do what you do!"
"Princess..." Lu Yi's pretty face turned green and white, and a layer of mist quickly appeared in his eyes.
This was the first time that she had been humiliated in front of so many people.
Especially when countless pairs of eyes around her looked towards her, she felt even more ashamed and angry, wishing to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
How could Xiao Muqing say that about her?
Prince Zhennan's Palace and Duke Dingguo's Palace have always been on good terms. Although Xiao Muqing didn't treat her well in the past, he has never treated her like this in front of her face! How could she do this!
At this moment, I am afraid that only Xie Yuan understands Lu Yi's mood best.
It's a pity that she didn't have any sympathy in her heart. Instead, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
"Princess, Sister Yi is thin-skinned, so don't joke with her." Xie Wu pulled Xiao Muqing's sleeve and chuckled.
Xiao Muqing frowned, although she was still a little unhappy, but Xie Wu came out to smooth things over, and Lu Yi was a direct daughter of Duke Dingguo, so she couldn't bear to offend her too much.
Her mother and Lu Yi's mother were still holding hands and laughing on the other side.
If the quarrel gets too big, once the banquet breaks up, you will inevitably be scolded by your mother again.
Forget it.
Princess Xiao quickly figured it out.
"Sister Yi, the princess is just joking. Look at you, why are you taking it seriously?" Xie Wu smiled and said to Lu Yi again.
Lu Yi glanced at Xie Wu and felt very unconvinced.
Xiao Muqing raised his eyebrows.
Why, she was given a ladder and she still didn’t want to get off it!
Lu Yi also immediately felt the anger in Princess Xiao's heart, and immediately lowered his head and whispered, "Yes, I am being petty. Thank you, cousin."
Seeing Lu Yi lower his head to admit his mistake, Princess Xiao snorted coldly and turned her face away.
I thought she had a strong bone, but I didn't expect to fall down so quickly! How boring! However, she was wise enough to get off the ladder, otherwise, if she waits for a while, she will completely overturn the ladder!
She can do such a thing.
As Princess Xiao put the matter aside, the atmosphere quickly became lively again, and over there, the maids also carried the plates and started serving the food in an orderly manner.
Xie Wu looked at the exquisite dishes, and suddenly something flashed in her mind, as if she remembered something, she raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled.
"Ah Wu, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Muqing's sharp eyes immediately noticed Xie Wu's movements.
Xie Wu hurriedly shook her head.
Princess Xiao blinked her eyes, expressing her disbelief.
She suddenly moved her face closer to Xie Wu, then blinked her eyes and said, "Awu, have you guessed the name of this banquet?"
Before Xie Wu could answer, Princess Zhennan's voice rang out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the banquet I am hosting today is called the Tofu Banquet! Please taste it carefully!"
