Chapter 535: Chase and Seek
"Who the hell is this beauty? Why haven't you seen it before?" The man in white looked at Lu Yunqian's smaller and smaller back, and his mind was full of confusion caused by this beautiful encounter.
So in order to solve this mystery, the man in white followed Lu Yunqian from a distance, keeping a distance that was comparable to seeing a human figure, so that he could find out her identity and not be so abrupt that she would embarrass her.
......
King Jing took Granny Li to the main venue of the banquet, and after sitting on the main seat, he naturally made some polite words in a routine manner, and then let everyone eat, drink and have fun casually.
Compared with previous years, the only difference was that his eyes had been on the table between Mrs. Wang and Yuan Lan, which made Yuan Lan think that King Jing was really looking at her, so that her heart was full of joy.
Originally, on this occasion, King Jing only stayed for a moment and left after speaking, but this year, somehow, after finishing speaking, he still sat on the main seat and had no intention of leaving, which naturally coincided with the wishes of many women who had not left the pavilion present, and it just so happened that they could look at King Jing for a while.
Some young ladies who had been prepared for a long time sang and danced under the guise of paying homage to Granny Li's birthday, in fact, they wanted to take the opportunity to perform in front of King Jing and attract his attention.
However, King Jing's face was not happy, but became more and more solemn with the singing and dancing in front of him, only the pair of eyes stared at the table of the prime minister's family.
Soon everyone noticed that King Jing didn't look at the song and dance at all, but just looked at the table of the prime minister's family, where only Mrs. Wang and Yuan Lan sit, and everyone naturally thought that King Jing was in Yuan Lan, and for a while Yuan Lan became the public enemy of the entire banquet, and countless hatreds could not project her eyes on her with a thousand cuts.
But Yuan Lan not only didn't care, but felt very proud, it was the first time in her seventeen years of life that she was so embarrassed, not to mention that her sweetheart King Jing only had her in her eyes, this was a scene she never dreamed of, and it really appeared in front of her, which made her feel fluttering and unreal.
"I heard that the prime minister's daughter can sing and dance, and she also danced to His Royal Highness alone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, today's Granny Li's birthday, why don't Miss Yuan take this opportunity to open the eyes of the sisters?" After the two songs and dances, a not very friendly voice interjected abruptly.
The rest of the ladies expressed their approval, after all, after the two songs and dances, King Jing never looked at it, he always looked at Yuan Lan's table, it was better to let Yuan Lan make a fool, after all, the shameful thing of Yuan Lan's Prime Minister's Mansion dancing to King Jing had already spread all over the capital, and everyone just looked at her Prime Minister's daughter's face and didn't say anything, but now it's different.
When Yuan Lan heard this, her face flushed with shame and indignation, the failure of the Prime Minister's Mansion to perform the dance was the shame of her life, she naturally hoped that she would have the opportunity to dance again to wash away the shame, but not now, she had been beaten twenty lashes before, and she had not recovered at all.
Mrs. Wang knew the inside story, and she explained for Yuan Lan with a wry smile: "If you want to disappoint Granny Li and everyone, Lan'er was injured a few days ago, and the dance she was originally going to perform is now unable to dance." ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone present was also a human spirit, so it was naturally impossible to believe Mrs. Wang's words, everyone turned their heads and whispered, and the banquet venue suddenly became noisy.
At this time, King Jing suddenly said expressionlessly: "Doesn't she have a younger sister? Why don't you let her dance on her behalf, isn't it because the prime minister's wife didn't bring her to pay her birthday to her mother-in-law?"
As soon as King Jing's words came out, the banquet scene was suddenly silent, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard. Wen Ting Pavilion
No one understood why King Jing suddenly mentioned Yuan Lan's sister, and it was only at this time that they suddenly remembered that the prime minister's wife did bring two girls to the banquet today, but the other didn't know when she had disappeared.
Mrs. Wang deeply remembered that Prime Minister Yuan told her that it was King Jing who asked Lu Yunqian to participate in this banquet, originally Lu Yunqian walked quietly by herself, she and Yuan Lan were secretly happy, without this limelight stealing Yuan Lan, they were too late to be happy, naturally it was impossible to make a statement, but she didn't expect to be held accountable by King Jing at this moment, Mrs. Wang suddenly had a feeling that she was pitted by Lu Yunqian, and she couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
So Mrs. Wang immediately cleared up sincerely: "Back to Your Highness, the concubine did bring Xin'er to pay homage to Granny Li's birthday, and everyone has seen Xin'er, but somehow, one didn't pay attention, and when she turned around, Xin'er was gone?"
"Is she really here?" asked King Jing in disbelief.
Originally, King Jing came to the banquet venue and didn't see Lu Yunqian, he thought that the prime minister's wife and Yuan Lan were making trouble again, and didn't let Lu Yunqian come over, but because today is Granny Li's birthday, he lost his mother since he was a child, and Granny Li can be regarded as half of his mother, and he didn't want to mess up Granny Li's birthday, so he couldn't bear it.
"The concubine is really here with her heart, Your Highness doesn't believe it, you can ask everyone present, they have all seen it. Madame Wang replied with sincere fear.
"Then why isn't she here? Isn't something going on?" King Jing muttered to himself with some concern.
Granny Li brought up King Jing since she was a child, she can be said to be the person who knows King Jing the best in the world, she has never seen King Jing ask a woman so actively, and because the woman is gone, she is restless and worried, so Granny Li smiled lovingly and said: "Your Highness, you don't have to accompany your mother-in-law if you have something, I will have a lively birthday with everyone." ”
King Jing looked at Granny Li very gratefully, then stood up and left quickly.
This result was really unexpected, they originally thought that King Jing would stay here until the end of the banquet today, but they didn't expect to leave like this?
"What the hell is going on, Your Highness?"
"Is it because of Yuan Lan's sister?"
A group of young women saw King Jing leave, chattering and discussing, Yuan Lan, who was originally regarded as an enemy by them, was no longer worth mentioning at this moment, because everyone could hear that King Jing could not do without Yuan Lan's sister, and it was like Yuan Lan's sister who suddenly left at this moment.
It's just that this makes them even more indignant, just now they all saw how beautiful Lu Yunqian was, and what they remembered more deeply was Mrs. Wang's words, Lu Yunqian was just a concubine, but it was this concubine who could actually affect King Jing's emotions and behavior?
......
After King Jing left the banquet, he immediately summoned the butler, and he ordered with a calm face: "There is a picture of a woman's danqing hanging in the king's study, you go and get it, that woman should still be in the palace at the moment, send the most people to find her, don't let her have an accident!"
Although the housekeeper didn't know what was going on and who the woman was, he could see that King Jing's face was not good, so he didn't dare to ask, so he immediately complied.
