After shaking her head slightly, Mrs. Gu stepped forward and said, "A few people, please take a seat." ”

At this time, the flower hall was already full of people, male and female guests had all come, and everyone gathered together in twos and threes to talk and laugh, which was a friendly and harmonious scene.

And Gu Xiangning, who was the protagonist of the wedding banquet, was still sitting in a remote corner, hanging her head slightly, just looking at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup, as if that had attracted all her attention.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door of the flower hall, and I only vaguely heard someone calling "prince" and "prince".

The crowd cast their eyes on them, only to see several young men rushing in.

Seeing this, Gu Cifu showed a happy smile on his face.

These young men are the most high-profile in the Daluo Dynasty today.

Not to mention the graceful Fu family son Fu Yunsheng, nor the prince Ming Shu of the idle clouds and wild cranes, just the arrival of the crown prince Ming Cheng and the fourth prince Ming Yan was enough to make him happy.

His official position is second only to the current Shoufu, although he has made many posts, but not everyone has come, and the two princes in front of him have come together, which naturally gives him great face.

Prince Mingcheng was dressed in a gold brocade suit, his long hair was tied up with a jade crown, his face seemed to be carved from beautiful jade, with a leisurely and tranquil smile, although he didn't say a word, but he was full of elegance and luxury.

Just standing next to Fu Yunsheng, it doesn't make people feel clear.

As for the fourth prince Ming Yan-

He has a fierce appearance, like a demon, which is terrifying, not to mention handsome.

But the appearance of these people together naturally attracted everyone's attention.

I only heard the prince Mingcheng's thin lips slightly opened, and his voice was clear and peaceful: "I don't know where Miss Xiang Ning is?" I heard that the girl won the first place in the academy, so I prepared a thin gift, and I hope the girl will not refuse. ”

It is a great honor for the prince to personally send a congratulatory gift in public.

When the ladies in Beijing heard this, they couldn't help but show envy.

But Gu Xiangning didn't seem to hear it, he still sat in his position, watching the tea leaves in the teacup float without blinking, and Mrs. Gu couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly pulled Gu Xiangning's sleeve and said, "Xiang Ning, don't get up quickly!"

Ming Cheng's gaze swept around, and swept over everyone's faces one by one, but he didn't see Gu Xiangning.

Could it be that Gu Xiangning is not here?

After waiting for a while, Gu Xiangning finally stood up.

Only then did everyone notice Gu Xiangning sitting quietly in a remote corner.

She has an ordinary complexion, flat facial features, and can be regarded as delicate alone, but at the banquet where the girls are like clouds, she loses all her color, and there is no sadness or joy on her face, and there is no look, she looks like a puppet, except for being able to speak and move, people can't distinguish any emotions.

Ming Cheng was slightly stunned in his heart.

Is this the Gu Xiangning who wrote amazing poems? There is too much difference between this and what he expected.

Gu Xiangning saluted: "Thank you, prince." ”

Since he cherishes words like gold, he refuses to say even one more word.

But Ming Cheng didn't care, but smiled gently: "Don't be polite." ”

With that, he sat down on the men's seat.

Shen Fengxu and Shen Baitang sat on the women's seat, while Shen Yulou and the eldest lady inevitably sat beside the two of them.

Today, the second lady was in poor health, and Shen Yuning and Shen Yujia were sick by the side of the second lady and did not come.

Sitting at the same table as Dongningbo Mansion were Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xiyue from Yi'anbo Mansion.

Jiang Xuanyue was also dressed in a costume, her gaze swept to the men's seat, and she bowed her head to Shen Yulou and said, "You say, Hu Huizhi won't come today?"

Shen Yulou shook his head and smiled: "She is obsessed with Fu Gongzi, so she will naturally come." ”

Hu Huizhi longs for Fu Yunsheng.

This is a well-known thing in Daluojing City, or in other words, there are not a few people in Beijing who miss Fu Yunsheng, and Hu Huizhi is the most famous one among them, but wherever Fu Yunsheng is, Hu Huizhi is also there.

It's just that Hu Huizhi hasn't appeared for a long time today.

At the wedding banquet, everyone chatted and laughed, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, looking very harmonious, although the female guests drank fruit wine, but the women were not strong enough to drink, and the Gu Mansion also prepared a place for people to rest in advance.

Shen Baitang took a few sips, but he was not drunk, but he was reluctant to sit with the eldest lady, so he turned his head and said to Shen Fengxu: "I'm a little drunk, you accompany me out to wake up the bar." ”

Shen Fengxu had this intention, so he helped Shen Baitang out of the flower hall.

Shen Yulou raised his eyes and looked at the backs of the two of them leaving the flower hall, his eyes gradually sank, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Then, she turned her head and whispered something to Qing Yu beside her.

When he turned his head again, he still had a generous and decent smile on his face, chatting and laughing with Jiang Xuanyue, and he didn't show half a clue on his face.

After Shen Fengxu and Shen Baitang walked out of the flower hall together, the noise in their ears was much smaller, and there was a clear breeze blowing, which made people feel extremely cool and comfortable in early autumn.

Shen Baitang exhaled a little and said, "Fang Cai is really stuffy, it's really uncomfortable to pretend to be close to them in front of so many people." ”

Although he has already torn his face with the eldest lady, he can't show it at all in front of so many people, otherwise, it will not only be bad for the reputation of Dongning Bofu, but also bad for his own reputation.

Shen Fengxu also smiled and said comfortingly: "It's just a moment, and when the wedding banquet is over, it doesn't have to be like this." ”

As the two were talking, suddenly a maid hurriedly walked past the two of them with her head bowed with water, but when she passed by Shen Baitang's side, she accidentally tripped over a stone on the ground, and fell in front of Shen Baitang at once, and the basin of water in her hand was also sprinkled on Shen Baitang.

"Hiss......" Shen Baitang's brows suddenly twisted, and she raised her eyes to look at the servant unhappily.

The servant knew that she had done something wrong, so she knelt down and begged for mercy: "I beg your guest to spare my life, my servant did not mean it, and my servant was also an unintentional mistake!

Shen Baitang was splashed with water, his appearance was untidy, and he couldn't return to the flower hall.

But the maid in front of him was about the servant of the Gu Mansion, and Shen Baitang didn't want to be too harsh, so he had to say coldly: "That's it." ”

The maid thanked her in every possible way, and walked away briskly with the basin.

Fortunately, they had prepared their clothes on the carriage early in the morning, just to prevent emergencies, and although they were splashed with water, it was not too bad.

Liuyue beside Shen Baitang said, "The maid is going to get the clothes." ”

"Second sister, let's go to the guest room with me first. ”

Shen Fengxu said, and went to the guest room of the Gu Mansion with Shen Baitang.
