Chapter 110: The Banquet
Liu Qingyang sighed deeply, and looked at Liu Ruoxi with a little sympathy, how can her sister say that she is good, sometimes she thinks better than anyone else, and sometimes she is a little stupid.
"Big brother, what are you sighing for?" Liu Ruoxi said puzzled.
Liu Qingyang touched Liu Ruoxi's head, "Sister, sometimes you will understand if you look at his actions and deeds, and let Huiren help, he is definitely not a simple person." Liu Qingyang closed his eyes and recuperated after saying a few words.
Liu Ruoxi looked at Liu Qingyang with satisfaction, she didn't expect that the eldest brother was such a careful person, why didn't such a powerful eldest brother find the abnormality of Dingguo Mansion in his last life?
After less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped, "Young Master and Miss have arrived." Liu Lin's voice came in from outside.
Only then did Liu Qingyang open his eyes and give Liu Ruoxi a reassuring look, "Don't be afraid, everything is with me." ”
Although Liu Ruoxi didn't know why Liu Qingyang said this, her heart was still warm when she heard it.
Liu Qingyang jumped out of the carriage first, and then helped Liu Ruoxi slowly get out of the carriage.
Lin Qingyao knew that Liu Ruoxi would definitely come today, so she waited at the gate of the banquet early.
Seeing Liu Ruoxi get out of the carriage, he ran forward happily and took Liu Ruoxi's hand affectionately, "Ruoxi, you want to kill me, how are you?"
Although Lin Qingyao knew that Liu Ruoxi was pretending to be sick, she was still a little worried when she thought that she was almost really sick.
"I'm fine, cough cough..." Liu Ruoxi coughed violently after speaking, Ziyi took out a handkerchief and hurriedly handed it to Liu Ruoxi, Liu Ruoxi took it and wiped her mouth.
Lin Qingyao looked at Liu Ruoxi worriedly, "How can it be okay? The cough is so serious, otherwise we will tell the eldest princess, you go back and rest." ”
Liu Ruoxi took Lin Qingyao's hand and smiled slightly, "I'm really fine, it's good to come out for a walk, not to mention that we haven't seen each other for so long, I really miss you." Liu Ruoxi pulled Lin Qingyao to speak, and gently pinched Lin Qingyao's palm.
Lin Qingyao looked at Liu Ruoxi suspiciously, Liu Ruoxi blinked secretly, and Lin Qingyao was relieved.
At this time, a grandmother came and blessed Liu Ruoxi, "Miss Liu, my princess, please." ”
"Ruoxi, you see that I am patronizing and talking to you, it is windy outside, let's go in quickly. Lin Qingyao looked at Liu Ruoxi apologetically.
Liu Ruoxi kept smiling slightly, patted Lin Qingyao's hand, and then said to Mama: "Mama Lao is leading the way." ”
"Miss Liu, please come with me. "Mama led the way in front.
Lin Qingyao helped Liu Ruoxi and complained while walking: "Ruoxi is good that you are here, otherwise I feel like I am about to die of boredom." ”
"Then you can come and play with me, I don't live very far from here. ”
"Really, can I really go?" asked Lin Qingyao excitedly.
"Hmm. Liu Ruoxi really likes Lin Qingyao's friend, and she is also very envious of Lin Qingyao's parents for protecting her so well and carefree.
"Great, I'll go and tell my mother later, I'm going to play with you often in the future. Lin Qingyao thought that she could play with Liu Ruoxi in the future, so she was excited.
The kung fu grandmother who spoke took them to the hall, and the hall was already full of people, all of them were the wives and ladies of some dignitaries and nobles, and each of them had a smile on their faces.
Mama walked in first and blessed the eldest princess, "Princess, Miss Liu is here." ”
"Oh, let her in. ”
"Yes. ”
Liu Ruoxi was helped by Lin Qingyao and walked in, and when she arrived in the hall, Liu Ruoxi let go of Lin Qingyao and blessed the eldest princess, "The courtier Liu Ruoxi worships the eldest princess." ”
"Get up. ”
"Princess Xie. Liu Ruoxi thanked him and stood aside with his head down.
Liu Xiyue saw that Liu Ruoxi was really here, and her hand under the table clenched her handkerchief tightly, and muttered to herself: "Why is she everywhere?"
Liu Sewu glanced at Liu Xiyue, and Liu Xiyue looked at Liu Ruoxi unwillingly.
You look up. ”
Liu Ruoxi nervously slowly raised her head and looked at the eldest princess.
Only then did the eldest princess see Liu Ruoxi's appearance, she was really a beauty embryo, no wonder Jiahe kept saying that the fox spirit.
"You're Liu Ruoxi?"
"Yes, the courtier is Liu Ruoxi. ”
"Come, come to me. The eldest princess said with a smile.
Liu Ruoxi nervously walked slowly into the eldest princess's side, and the eldest princess looked at Liu Ruoxi carefully, "I've always heard Jiahe mention you before, but I haven't seen it, and it's really a beautiful embryo when I see it today." ”
Jiahe sat on the right hand side of the eldest princess and looked at her mother incredulously, what the hell is going on with her mother? Didn't she say that she would reprimand Liu Ruoxi for herself? Why did she look so affectionate now?
The people sitting below, you look at me, I look at you, everyone knows that the last time the county lord of Jiahe fell into the water seems to be related to this Liu Ruoxi, I don't know what the eldest princess means, everyone didn't dare to answer, and the atmosphere was embarrassing for a while.
Lin Qingyao suddenly laughed, "Eldest princess, you see that Ruoxi's face is red when you say it. ”
The eldest princess didn't stare at Liu Ruoxi, covered her mouth and laughed, "Look at me just knowing how to appreciate the beauty, I forgot to let Ruoxi sit down, I think I'm old." ”
"Eldest princess, look at what you said and let us say this, you sit there, you don't say that the people outside still think you are an eighteen-year-old girl. Zhao Lian'er's mother Zhao said with a smile.
"Yes, eldest princess, you can't say that you are old, otherwise we will not be able to go out to meet people. ”
You praised the eldest princess one by one, and the eldest princess's face turned red, Liu Ruoxi really wanted to open the minds of the ladies to see, although the eldest princess is not very old, she doesn't look eighteen years old, right?
"Okay, okay, I'm embarrassed to be told by you. That Ruoxi didn't know that you were coming today, and the seats were full, otherwise you can see that there are still places to sit there, and you will take a look first?"
"Yes. ”
Liu Ruoxi looked at the Li family first, and the Li family was sitting on the right and left side by Liu Sewu and Liu Xiyue, and they couldn't add tables and chairs to go in.
The other people at the table were all talking with their heads down, and none of them wanted Liu Ruoxi to sit beside them, and when Liu Ruoxi was in trouble, there was a voice in the hall. "Little girl, sit beside me. ”
Liu Ruoxi looked at the place where she spoke, and it was a kind old lady, and there was an empty seat beside her that no one was sitting.
The eldest princess looked at Old Madam Shangguan in disbelief, Old Madam Shangguan hadn't been nosy since that incident, how could she stand up for Liu Ruoxi today?
"Mrs. Shangguan, you are old, you still sit comfortably by yourself, I will arrange a seat for Ruoxi. ”
Isn't that the second brother's grandmother? Liu Ruoxi looked at the old lady Shangguan in shock, she didn't expect her to come too, wasn't it a blind date banquet?
"No, I'm bored by myself, so let this kid sit here. Mrs. Shangguan said lightly.
Liu Ruoxi saw that the eldest princess didn't say anything, so she walked towards the position of the old lady Shangguan.
Liu Ruoxi walked up to the old lady of Shangguan and blessed her body, "Thank you, old lady, for letting me sit down." ”
Old Madam Shangguan was also kind and didn't want to embarrass the eldest princess for this child, but when Liu Ruoxi blessed her, Old Madam Shangguan saw the jade pendant on her waist and looked at the jade pendant on Liu Ruoxi's waist in shock.
The eldest princess inadvertently also saw the jade pendant on Liu Ruoxi's waist, her face was a little panicked, and she wanted to ask Liu Ruoxi if the jade pendant came, but when she saw the old lady Shangguan, she withdrew what she wanted to say, and called the grandmother just now to say a few words in her ear, and the grandmother nodded and walked out.
"What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" Liu Ruoxi looked at the old lady of Shangguan blankly at the jade pendant on her waist.
Old Madam Shangguan quickly reflected, suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, "Child, sit down." ”
Liu Ruoxi looked at Old Madam Shangguan gratefully, "Thank you, Old Madam Shangguan." After thanking her, Liu Ruoxi sat on the left hand side of Old Madam Shangguan.
Old Madam Shangguan looked at Liu Ruoxi hesitantly and said, "Child, can you let me see the jade pendant hanging on my waist?"
Liu Ruoxi looked at the old lady of Shangguan looking at herself expectantly, and her heart softened suddenly, Lord Shangguan and the old lady of Shangguan only had one daughter, but after marrying the emperor, they were nowhere to be found, thinking about it, you know how sad they are in their hearts.
Liu Ruoxi nodded, took off the jade pendant from her waist and handed it to the old lady Shangguan, "Old lady, you can take it and see it if you want to see it." ”
The old lady of Shangguan took the jade pendant tremblingly, looked at the jade pendant with tears in her eyes, and clutched the jade pendant tightly, "Child... Where did you get that kid?"
Liu Ruoxi patted the old lady Shangguan's hand and comforted: "Old lady, don't get excited, this jade pendant was given to me by my second brother, does the old lady of Shangguan know this jade pendant?"
Old Madam Shangguan nodded excitedly, "Who is your second brother? Who gave him this jade pendant, have you seen the person who gave it to him?"
Liu Ruoxi didn't know if he could tell the old lady of Shangguan, but looking at the old lady of Shangguan, Liu Ruoxi finally couldn't bear to say: "This jade pendant is a jade pendant brought up by the second brother since childhood, and it was passed on to him by his mother." ”
Old Madam Shangguan was very excited when she heard this, "His mother gave it to him, can you take me to meet him?"
Liu Ruoxi didn't dare to act rashly, glanced at the eldest princess, and found that she had been staring at this side, she shouldn't have heard what they said, Liu Ruoxi thought that the eldest princess and the others would definitely make an appointment with her alone, and she couldn't let the eldest princess already find out that the old lady Shangguan already knew about the existence of the jade pendant.
Liu Ruoxi turned her head to look at Old Madam Shangguan, "Old Madam Shangguan, I know you must have a lot to know, but now is not the time, I'll explain to you after the banquet, okay?"
The old lady of Shangguan realized that she was really too excited, "Good boy, blame me for being too excited." ”
Liu Ruoxi shook her head with a smile, "Old Madam Shangguan may have thought of the old man, I can understand it." ”
At this time, when the maid next to her added tea to Liu Ruoxi, the water accidentally wet Liu Ruoxi's skirt, and the maid was so frightened that she knelt down, "I'm sorry Miss Liu, I didn't mean to." ”
