Subsequently, Wu Zixu, Wu Chengcheng and other grandchildren all stepped forward to give their birthday gifts, with the Queen Mother's rosewood cane and Wu Tianrou's white jade Guanyin Zhuyu in front, and other people's birthday gifts were a little discolored.

But for Mrs. Wu, she has never seen anything good in her life, and what she wants is filial piety and liveliness, so she accepted them all with a smile.

Only Wu Tingcheng, sitting on the sidelines, when everyone didn't notice, hatefully tore the silk handkerchief into a twisted pattern, looking at Wu Tingrou who was smiling beside her, she was resentful in her heart. Months of hard work have been wasted.

With the birthday gifts being given, the atmosphere of the banquet has become more lively, and there are people who come forward to toast, worship birthdays, and set almost for a while.

The dishes are over five flavors, and the banquet is half-hearted. Situ Jingxuan also found a reason to come forward to toast, and enthusiastically wanted to toast Wu Zixu, Wu Tianrou and Wu Chengcheng with a glass of wine.

Everyone only thinks that the second prince is easy to come by, not as cold as the eldest prince, but Wu Tianrou, who knows his temperament well, has a faint sneer.

The mechanical one raised a glass with Wu Zixu, and then drank the wine in the cup, Wu Tianrou only felt that the wine was extremely bitter, like a fish in the throat, and he didn't vomit or feel unhappy.

Seeing that everyone was eating, drinking and talking lively, Wu Tianrou stood up quietly, holding Cuiping's hand and wanted to walk out of the banquet.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you going out? You don't look good. ”

Wu Zixu, who was sitting next to Wu Tianrou, saw her stand up and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just that I drank two more glasses of greed, and my son's alcohol will come up, and he is a little uncomfortable, and he just wants to go out to blow the wind." I'm fine, you can accompany your parents to take good care of the guests. ”

Smiling at Wu Zixu, Wu Tianrou turned around and walked out of the big flower hall quickly.

Situ Jingtian and Situ Jingxuan, who were opposite, saw Wu Tianrou walking out, and they all squinted their eyes slightly, and then drank with the officials who came forward to toast as usual.

The big flower hall was originally close to the back garden, and Wu Tianrou was supported by Cuiping and walked into the back garden along the cobblestone path. After walking in the garden for a while, Wu Tianrou felt a lot more comfortable in her chest, and this resentment finally faded.

"Let's sit here for a while."

Glancing at the stone tables and chairs beside the lotus pond, Wu Tianrou sat down gently. Now the autumn sun is full, and the stone bench that has been basking in the morning is warm, not cool at all.

It just so happens that the sunlight is tilting now, and the shadows of the trees on the side are just enough to cover it, and the mottled shadows of the trees are cast, but they also cover most of the sunlight, so it will not be too sunny.

"Cuiping, you go to the lower courtyard to see Cuiqin and them, I'm afraid they won't be well entertained, after all, there are a lot of people who came this time, and there are many people who brought them, don't make any mistakes, and then you won't have to make people laugh at our Wu family."

"Yes, Miss. Then I'll go and see, miss, can you be here by yourself? ”

Cui Ping looked around, there were many guests today, and there were many male guests, Wu Tianrou was sitting alone in this garden, she was really not at ease.

"It's okay, I'll sit down again and go back to the banquet, you can go back to me directly over there when the time comes."

Waving her hand at Cuiping, Wu Tianrou turned her gaze to the lotus leaves in the pond and stopped looking at her.

Cui Ping nodded, and walked away quickly, she was in a hurry to go back quickly, so that she could take care of Wu Tianrou, to be honest, since the beginning of the banquet, she felt that Miss was a little weird, maybe it was really uncomfortable.

Listening to Cui Ping's footsteps and walking away, Wu Tianrou let out a long breath. Thinking that she was so uncontrollable, she couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly.

"I can't do this, I'll meet more times in the future, it's always easy to show my feet like this, this can't work!"

Looking at the lotus flowers in the pond that were blooming just right in front of her, Wu Tianrou frowned slightly.

Recalling Situ Jingxuan's inopportune move, she bit her lower lip gently.

"How could I have fallen in love with him in my previous life? is so frivolous and false, I want to help the hand of a woman in the boudoir when I come up, it's really shameless! ”

Thinking of him and Wu Tingcheng's fly camp dog and secret communication song, Wu Tingrou felt as disgusting as if she had swallowed a fly.

Just when she was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of a tree branch being trampled off from behind, Wu Tianrou's heart moved, and she turned around suddenly, and saw Situ Jingshuo standing a little embarrassed not far from her.

Clenching the silk handkerchief in his hand, Wu Tianrou stood up.

"I'm sorry, it's abrupt and disturbs Miss Tingrou's Yaxing."

Situ Jingshuo smiled slightly, there was no meaning at all that a lonely man and a widow should avoid suspicion when they were alone, and actually stepped over, looking at the posture, it seemed that he still wanted to sit next to Wu Tianrou.

"Did the second prince also come out to sober up his wine? The scenery here is very good, and now the lotus flowers are in full bloom, which is a good time to enjoy the lotus. I've been out for a while, and it's time to go back to the banquet, so don't disturb Yaxing, who is appreciating the lotus of the second prince, and the courtiers will retire first. ”

Seeing Situ Jingshuo approaching, Wu Tianrou slowly took a step back to widen the distance, and then with a faint smile, he politely gave a salute.

"Miss Tilt Rou is not in a hurry to leave, no one is disturbing at this time, is it not good for you and me to talk?"

Situ Jingshuo didn't feel the slightest sense of rejection, sat down by himself, and shook his hand casually, opened the folding fan in his hand and gently fanned it.

"Miss Tilt, please sit, how tired you are from standing!"

Tapping at the stone bench beside him with a folding fan, Situ Jingshuo looked at Wu Tianrou with a smile.

"Thank you for the kindness of the second prince, it's just that the courtiers feel a little unwell and don't want to blow the wind, so it's better to go back to the banquet."

Wu Tianrou didn't want to have too much to do with Situ Jingxuan, and after bending down and giving a salute, she wanted to turn around and walk out of the garden.

But I didn't expect Situ Jingshuo to stretch out his long arm, and the hand holding the folding fan stopped straight in front of Wu Tianrou, if she hadn't stopped in time, I'm afraid her chest would have hit his arm.

"Second prince, what do you mean by this?"

Turning his head to look at Situ Jingxuan, who was still sitting on the stone bench, Wu Tianrou took a step back slightly and let go of his arm.

"Don't mind, I'm just wondering, why does Miss Tintrou seem to be avoiding me?"

Retracting his arm, Situ Jingshuo closed the folding fan and simply stood up.

"Why did the courtiers hide from the second prince, it must be an illusion of the second prince. It's just that the courtiers feel that there is no one else here, and it's not good for the lonely man and widow to be misunderstood, and it will also damage the reputation of the second prince. ”

With a faint smile on her face, Wu Tianrou raised her head and looked at Situ Jingshuo with a calm face.

"It turns out that you care about this, what is this, if someone dares to spread any gossip, this prince will not let them go. Moreover, as long as this prince marries you as a concubine, all those gossips are not surprising! ”

Haha smiled, Situ Jingshuo looked at Wu Tianrou with a smile on his face, thinking that his hint would definitely make the other party's heart bloom and be moved.
