Chapter Ninety-Six: The Banquet (2)
At this moment, a girl in brocade suddenly came over.
The color of her clothes is very plain, but it is a fine woven cloud brocade, and there are several expensive begonia flowers pinned to her hair, and the style of her clothes is obvious palace maid clothes, but although she is a maid, she is dressed exquisitely, and she is not inferior to the women of the family present.
She is the personal palace maid next to the sixth princess, Man Chun.
Man Chun saw Ming Shu and blessed his body slightly, but he didn't say anything, but turned his head to Hu Huizhi: "Girl Hui, the sixth princess, please come over." ”
As for the others, Man Chun turned a complete blind eye.
Hu Huizhi still had something to say, but since Man Chun came to invite him in person, Hu Huizhi had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, I'll go." ”
After that, he glanced back at Shen Fengxu again, although his face was leisurely, but there was a faint coldness in his eyes.
Shen Fengxu only smiled.
Seeing that Hu Huizhi was gone, Shen Fengxu also saluted Ming Shu, and then pulled Shen Baitang away, without even saying a word to Ming Shu.
Mingshu: "......"
He's supposed to be the most honorable person, right?!
After leaving, Shen Baitang asked Shen Fengxu: "How do you know the prince of King Ning?"
She was also a little curious.
Shen Fengxu has always been in Dongningbo Mansion, and he only goes out in those few places occasionally, even if he meets him occasionally, how can he know Ming Shu?
Shen Fengxu thought for a while, and then said, "Didn't you be in the bookstore with your second sister before?" ”
A place like Yongle Fang, don't mention it.
Shen Baitang nodded: "I see." ”
At the banquet, Shen Yulou was still laughing with Jiang Xianyue, and the eldest lady and Shen Yuxiang were also chatting with Mrs. Jiang in Yi'anbo Mansion, and the atmosphere was originally very harmonious, but as soon as the two of them came back, the eyes of several people fell on them.
Seeing Shen Baitang and Shen Fengxu coming back, Shen Yulou smiled softly and asked, "Second sister, are you sober?"
Shen Baitang said very coldly: "Sister Bulao cares. ”
Jiang Xuyue quarreled with Shen Baitang for more than half a year, and he best understood Shen Baitang's character, Shen Baitang has always loved and hated clearly, he is close to the people he likes, and he is very repulsive to those he dislikes, and he does not hide it, but why does Shen Baitang do this to Shen Yulou?
Jiang Xiyue felt that no one should hate a person like Shen Yulou.
I just watched it for a long time, but I couldn't see any clues from the faces of these two people, so I stopped.
When the wine was half-drunk, a woman suddenly said: "Today's weather is just right, but drinking and enjoying the flowers is too boring, it just so happens that all the sons and girls of the family are here, why don't you show your talents?"
The girl who spoke was dressed in luxurious clothes, with delicate hair combed on her head, pinned with twelve tassel brocade hairpins, her clothes were complex and exquisite, and her face was bright and dazzling, like a branch of flowers, occupying the spring breeze.
It was the sixth princess Minglan.
As soon as the words fell, the people at the banquet looked at each other, and they were all a little eager to try.
The current occasion is a blind date banquet in disguise, and it is common for men and women to come into contact with each other in private, but in such an occasion, no matter what they do, it is justified.
Especially women, they can't show their heads, even if they have a talent, they have no place to perform, but now is a good opportunity to show themselves, and if they are favored by the princes present, it is even better, maybe they can also jump into a phoenix.
Hu Huizhi was the first to respond: "That's naturally good." ”
The sixth princess didn't say this for no reason, Fu Yunsheng was also present today, Hu Huizhi came to attend the wedding banquet of a twelve-year-old girl, just to see Fu Yunsheng, and the proposal of the sixth princess was to let Hu Huizhi shine in front of Fu Yunsheng.
The other girls can only be a foil for Hu Huizhi.
Prince Mingcheng smiled faintly and asked, "In that case, who will come first?"
"Why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Hu Huizhi smiled coquettishly.
"It's fine. Ming Cheng groaned, and his gaze swept over the faces of all the sons and girls present.
The girls present couldn't help but get nervous, and their faces were also dyed a little shy, looking forward to Ming Cheng being able to call their names, but also a little worried, if Ming Cheng was real, would it cause the jealousy of others.
However, Ming Cheng's gaze swept over everyone one by one, but in the end, he didn't stop at any of them, probably he didn't see anyone who interested him, even if it was Shen Yulou, he just swept it in a hurry.
So Ming Cheng said: "That's it, instead of me coming, it's better to hide the hook, and those who guess wrong will show their talents, how about it?"
Hidden hook is a game played at a banquet, is to hide the silver hook in the hand, let others guess the left hand or the right hand, guess the wrong person will be punished with a glass of wine, the rules are very simple.
The sixth princess smiled slightly: "It's okay, then, who will come first?"
Back to the first question.
The fourth prince, Ming Yan, wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Since it is Miss Xiang Ning's wedding banquet, let Miss Xiang Ning be the first to come." ”
Fair and reasonable.
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she couldn't help but be a little nervous, and secretly looked at Gu Xiangning.
She was afraid that Gu Xiangning would be petty again, so she refused to participate in it, and it was okay to be on the side, but this was the first thing that the princes and princesses mentioned, and they couldn't be disobeyed or swept away by them.
But although Gu Xiangning didn't like these on weekdays, he still knew the severity, so he nodded, stood up, held the silver hook prepared by others in advance, held the silver hook in his hand, looked at the four princes, and said, "Then ask the four princes to guess first." ”
Ming Yan mentioned Gu Xiangning for no reason, which made her unhappy, so she was the first to call the name of the fourth prince.
Ming Yan did not hesitate, glanced at Gu Xiangning, and said confidently: "Left hand." ”
Gu Xiangning spread out her left hand, and the silver hook was indeed in her left hand.
Everyone praised one after another: "The fourth prince is so keen to observe!"
"yes, you can see it at a glance. ”
There are countless people who flatter and flatter.
It's very deliberate.
After ordering Ming Yan, it was Ming Yan's turn, he hid the silver hook, his eyes swept over the faces of the nobles in Beijing one by one, and finally fell on Shen Yulou, and said, "Yulou girl." ”
Although it has been many days, in front of Bailu Academy that day, Shen Yulou's smile is still deeply engraved in Ming Yan's mind.
So, he ordered Shen Yulou.
Shen Yulou stood up, his face was gentle and gentle, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I don't know, but it's in the left hand of the fourth prince?"
But Mingyan smiled: "The girl in the Yulou guessed wrong, but she is going to perform her talent." ”
Although he is fierce by nature, his personality is not a vicious person, and now he smiles with a little warmth.
