Ruan Ge swallowed a few mouthfuls of the soup that Lu Wan had arrived, and then calmed down a little, she stroked her chest that was still undulating, and thought to herself: "Why are you carrying it like this today?" It's really stuffing your teeth with cold water, let alone eating chicken. Please really ask these uncles, can you not do any small actions such as secretly sending autumn waves and eyebrow flirts when you are enjoying the food? I can't afford to hurt my incomparably pure little heart! ”

Lu Wan asked with concern on the side, "Miss Ruan, are you better?" ”

Ruan Ge turned his head and smiled embarrassedly: "No, it's okay, maybe, maybe I ate too much just now." Lu Wan covered her mouth and smiled, she was amused by Ruan Ge's appearance.

Ruan Ge also smiled on the side: "Sister Lu Wan, do you think that I don't look like a lady, but like a wild girl?" Well? ”

Lu Wan hurriedly said: "Miss Ruan, don't mind, I'm not laughing at you, I usually don't go out much, and I don't have any close friends, seeing you today, I feel like seeing another completely different shijie, I feel very novel, very happy." Your style of doing things, as well as your personality, makes me admire and cherish at the same time. I hope we can become friends, I wonder if Miss Nguyen would like to? ”

Ruan Ge was immediately very happy when she heard this, and she said in surprise: "Sister Lu, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't have many friends. I'm so happy when you say that. Of course I'd like to be friends with you! ”

Lu Wan was also very emotional, she said: "Okay, if you call me Sister Lu, I will call you Sister Ruan, and we will be friends and sisters in the future." Saying that, Lu Wan stretched out a palm, the palm of her hand, and gestured to Ruan Ge.

Ruan Ge also did the same, stretching out his palm, palms xiangxia. It turned out that this was a small gesture between Ning Xuanguo's friends. The two white and delicate palms cover each other, delicate and full of liliang.

The two of them almost forgot that it was a banquet in the palace, chatting happily and toasting from time to time, not noticing the situation in the palace at all.

At this time, a woman next to Lu Wan touched her hard, and she and Ruan Ge looked back, but saw the woman glaring at them. The two looked at the palace, hurriedly got up, and at some point, led by Tu Guifei, was leading all the ladies to toast the emperor and the envoys.

Ruan Ge, who had just stood up, accidentally stepped on the corner of his long skirt and fell to the ground halfway. attracted the attention of other female dependents, especially Xia Xueqing, who looked gloating. Lu Wan didn't care about pulling Ruan Ge up at this time, causing the other ladies to laugh.

Tu Guifei had already seen Ruan Ge's behavior, but she couldn't lose her sense of proportion as a quasi-national mother in front of everyone. She casually led the ladies to toast, and after sitting down, she glared at Ruan Ge fiercely, and at the same time looked at Ning Mingchen coldly.

On the side of the female dependents, to be precise, what happened to Ruan Ge, of course the two kings knew everything. Ning Mingyu frowned, and sent Luo Chuan beside him to ask if he was hurt.

And Ning Mingchen was hindered by Tu Guifei's attitude, so he didn't order people to go over, but his eyes didn't glance at Ruan Ge. This made Xia Xueqing, who had never left Ning Mingchen, really annoyed.

And the special envoy Wu Kun also saw the loss of honor of Fang Cai Ruan Ge.

Wu Kun slowly stood up with an amber cup in his hand, and said loudly: "Duan Wangye's courage and good fighting, galloping on the battlefield, and his invincible subordinates have seen it with their own eyes. The subordinates he led are all men who are one hundred, iron-clad, and stand up to the sky. So it is enough to see how excellent the men of Ning Xuanguo are. And my subordinates have also heard of the women of my Ning Xuanguo, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers, gentle and virtuous, and have both ability and political integrity. Today, seeing so many female dependents, my subordinates dare not know if they can see the demeanor of the beauties? ”

When Emperor Jiaxuan heard this, he looked up to the sky and daxiao: "The envoy is really a coincidence, it's not that I am boasting, all the women gathered in this hall today are the women of my Ning Xuan's ten thousand miles." ”

Wu Kun's eyes showed surprise and said, "Oh? Your Majesty is really honored, and your Majesty will keep your eyes open and wait for the wonderful talents of the beauties! ”

Ning Mingchen looked at Wu Kun's face on the side, and his stomach, which was already a little uncomfortable, really turned over the river and the sea.

Emperor Jiaxuan glanced at Tu Guifei, Tu Guifei understood, and said to His Royal Highness's daughters: "Most of the people here are the daughters of my ministers of Ning Xuan, with noble status and extraordinary temperament. They are all beautiful and talented beauties, representing the face of my Ning Xuanguo. At the same time, this is also a rare opportunity to contribute to the country, but also to welcome the arrival of the special envoy and contribute to the banquet. Then the girls who are named next can show their housekeeping skills, and there is no limit to the form of talent, and they can play to their heart's content. After Tu Guifei finished speaking, she glanced at Emperor Jiaxuan, and Emperor Jiaxuan nodded and signaled that it was time to start.

The reason why His Royal Highness's ladies and relatives came dressed up one by one today was that of course they knew that today was a great opportunity to show themselves, so they were eager to try it for a long time.

Ruan Ge was taken aback when he heard Tu Guifei's words, what kind of performance talent, to cheer up the banquet, and to take care of the family's skills, and give full play to it. She couldn't figure it out at all, she asked Lu Wan next to her weakly, "Sister Lu, what kind of trouble is this?" What kind of talent do you offer? You are all big daughters, how can you show your head so easily, and it was proposed by that bullshit envoy. It doesn't have anything to do with me, does it? ”

Lu Wan said with a smile: "Women have both talents and skills, and they are very respected in Ning Xuanguo. And being able to be invited to perform in front of the palace is regarded as the glory of the family, the highest stage to show yourself, and if you perform well, you may be selected by the royal relatives and relatives to marry and go home, and you will be one step to the sky. So this can be said to be a shortcut for the ladies of the aristocratic family to climb to the top, so the whole country is rushing to it. ”

Ruan Ge let out an 'oh' and said, "I kind of understand, this is similar to our draft." Who behaves well. If you perform well, whoever has more fans will be chosen, and whoever will be popular will be popular. ”

Lu Wan said suspiciously: "Draft? What do you mean? Do you call this a draft? ”

Ruan Ge said with a haha: "Anyway, it's almost the same meaning!" But what I'm most concerned about is whether it has anything to do with me. ”

Lu Wan thought for a while and said: "The participants are basically the daughters of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and I haven't heard of the participation of the commoner's daughter's family, it's not that I deliberately belittle my sister, your identity should not have the opportunity to participate." ”

When Ruan Ge heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it seems that the ordinary people are not without benefits." If it has nothing to do with me, I'm so happy, then I'll just watch a high-level performance! ”

Lu Wan nodded helplessly.

While the two of them were talking, the temple had already begun to read their names. The first one to be called was the daughter of Du Yong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, Du Juan, although the cuckoo is not very beautiful, but it has its own charm. The girl was a little nervous because she was the first to call and didn't take the lead.

Du Juan first visited the emperor and the concubine, and then met the two princes, when he visited King Yi, his face could not hide the blush, Ruan Ge saw it really, and she also peeked at Ning Mingyu several times. The cuckoo performed calligraphy, wrote a big 'Ya' word, although the pen is not strong, but the pen is also very elegant and chic, it can be seen that there is indeed a lot of work to practice.

The chamberlain showed the words to the audience, and everyone was amazed.

And after completing this pair of words, the cuckoo worshiped again, seemed to have a lot of courage, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the courtiers wrote this word to give it to a person in the palace. ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and Emperor Jiaxuan was also puzzled, he said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

Du Juan's face flushed, and he said word by word: "The courtier wants to give this text to His Royal Highness King Yi." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and what was even more surprised was the household servant Du Yong, who didn't believe how his always gentle daughter could be so bold today.

Du Juan faced Ning Mingyu, and continued: "I have heard that His Royal Highness King Yi is very elegant, and he must have studied calligraphy, so I specially wrote this word to King Yi, hoping that King Yi can like it." At this time, the little woman's face was already red, and Ruan Ge seemed to be able to feel that her heart was about to jump out when she watched from the sidelines.

However, Ruan Ge was also surprised, he didn't expect that there would be a public show to Ning Ming, Ruan Ge pouted.

Ning Mingyu looked indifferent, looked up at the cuckoo, and just said with a pity: "Thank you!" He motioned to Luo Chuan next to him to accept the letter, and there was no expression or speech.

The cuckoo's face was suddenly full of disappointment, and there were faint tears in his eyes.

Emperor Jiaxuan of course understands his son's temperament, so in order to avoid Du Yong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, not being able to come to the stage, he said loudly: "Miss Du's handwriting is really a dragon, elegant and beautiful, it can be seen that the skill is quite profound, Du Shilang is really a good goddaughter!" I love it very much, but it's a pity that I gave it to my son, and I will definitely ask you for another one in the future, and I will reward you for it! ”

After smiling reluctantly and thanking him, the cuckoo returned to his seat disappointed, wiping the corners of his eyes from time to time, and looking at Ning Mingyu from a distance with sad and sympathetic eyes.

Ruan Ge gritted his teeth and hugged the cuckoo: "Ning Mingyu is really speechless, how can he treat other girls with such a cold attitude?" Why is he? A high-minded, unapproachable jiashi, who is really afraid of him? ”

Ruan Ge chattered endlessly about Ning Mingyu, of course, the voice could only be heard by her and Lu Wan.

Lu Wan saw Ruan Ge like this, and while applauding her boldness, she said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with doing this. ”

Ruan Ge looked at Lu Wan in surprise: "Could it be that Sister Lu thinks he did the right thing?" Weishenme, tell me why. ”

Lu Wan said: "You see, Miss Lu clearly wants His Royal Highness King Yi, but judging from His Royal Highness King Yi's words and demeanor, he doesn't like Miss Du. So since you don't like it, weishenme still has to pretend to like it? Wouldn't it be easier to just be what you want to be yourself, not to let others misunderstand, and to give multiple parties the opportunity to choose others? ”
